OVERALL
Calm, guess that comes with time, as well as patience, peace, understanding, and all that business. But Lily isn’t the sweetest person, yes she can be, when she needs to , but her heart is dark, her soul belongs to hell, and though she doesn’t regret what she did, she isn’t the same fun teen she was when it was really her time. She’s been alive to long, she isn’t dark and evil, she’s lived long enough to realize that good and evil don’t really matter, so on the same note she isn’t a saint. She drinks, parties on the weekends, goes to school during the day and then reads a book when she gets home. she’s a peaceful person, content with the world. She doesn’t try to change anything or anyone, she’s relaxed and doesn’t take the time to deal with drama.
Lily is a kind person, she doesn’t intentionally hurt anyone, but she is blunt, honest and sarcastic so she sometimes comes off as rude, but it could be seen as just a front. Lily is a very closed off person, never, in two hundred years has anyone gotten past her walls; she finds it easier that way. It’s not impossible to get through her walls, but only a select few have, and those few have long since passed away, and now her walls are stronger than ever, with this war going on. Lily likes running because it clears her head, she likes sports because it’s abusive to the players, yet they still love it. She’s easy to get along with, if you don’t piss her off at least, and she really just wants to fit in somewhere.
MOTHER Amelia Daphne Butcher-Tanner, deceased.
FATHER Clinton Ephraim Tanner, deceased.
SIBLINGS William Griffith Tanner, younger brother, the only other child that lived past birth.
OTHER PERSONS OF IMPORTANCE Ludwig van Beethoven, helped her find her music again.
ETHNICITY Caucasian, but tan enough to pass as Native American-British
WEALTH STATUS money stacks up over three hundred years, so she's of the upper class, though she doesn't flaunt it, and hardy ever spends money.
OVERALL
Lily was born on June 2n, 1717. Her parents thought she was a miracle, having lost three children before birth, and two a few weeks after. But Lily was their pride and joy. She grew up smart and caring, always helping people as she passed them in town, always answering questions no one asked. Her family had not been wealthy, so she grew up in the fields or doing work in the house. She cooked, cleaned, tended to the farm; she scrubbed, washed, rinsed, everything that needed it. She did as she was told and was rarely scolded for disobeying. She listened intently and learned from others as much as she could. It was when she was seven though that she found the piano. She was walking by the old furniture store in town when the owner happened to be playing a tune. She unattached herself from her mother an strolled into the store. The sweet man offered to teach her a small tune and with that she found a great fondness for the instrument. Her mother saw how much her daughter lit up with joy at the sound of the music and when the two returned to the farm Lily’s mother told her father what happened in the little shop. They immediately put her in lessons, making a deal with the shop owner and that is when Lily learned to play the piano. She was swift on learning how to play, and was very passionate about. It only took her a year to learn everything the shop keeper knew and then she was on her own to practice and keep up her talent. It was her savior at the end of a hard day, or an extra brain when she needed to think, music was all she needed and she became engrossed in it, constantly wandering to the little furniture store so she could play the piano.
But two years later Lily’s music became less of a necessity, and more of an imposition. When Lily was only twelve her parents gave birth, successfully, after many more lost children, to a little boy. He grew strong and healthy. It was the Tanner’s second miracle, William Griffith Tanner. Lily was very fond of the boy and sought to teach him everything she knew about the farm, and if he wanted she would even teach him the piano, but she didn’t get the chance. William grew ill the year he turned five and the doctor said he wouldn’t make it to the end of the year. Lily was only seventeen and she was heartbroken; she could see how much it hurt her mother and father and she was willing to do anything for her little brother. She was in the barn one night, nursing a new calf, late at night, crying about her brother, because it was the second month of his illness and he was progressively getting worse; she doubted he would make it through the week. She was putting everything away, about to head back to the house when a dark figure walked into the barn and approached her. He walked straight up to her and told her he could save her brother. At first she backed away thinking he was mental, but she could feel the power surrounding him, and it was entrancing. She had pleaded for a way to save her brother, and she couldn’t risk this being real and tossing it out like it was a joke. She asked the man what she had to do, and he said she had to sell him her soul, be doomed to walk the earth forever, she laughed as if that was all and agreed.
It was no joke, she evil man laughed and disappeared. Lily ran back to the house, and to her brothers room. She woke him to find him fine, completely healthy, not sick anymore. The entire family was ecstatic, running around, drinking, singing, dancing. It took a couple hours before everyone calmed down, and the doctor had left before everyone went to bed again. Lily went to her room and found the man from the barn sitting on her bed. He took her should and told her to leave her home, for the better of everyone, and after seeing what he’d done, she left immediately, kissing her family goodbye as they slept she slipped away in the night, left to travel the world for the rest of time.

RP SAMPLEShe looked around at the un familiar people walking around. She tried to blend in, look as though she was one of them, and not some outsider that no one would pay attention to. But she didn’t particularly mind not being paid attention to, because then she wouldn’t have to explain anything to anyone, open up at all. She stood by and watched the crowd for a few more minutes before joining. She wanted to turn around and return home, to her mom. Her mother hadn’t even been able to get out of bed this morning, but she had forced Nehel to go to school. It was Nehel’s first day, and her mother refused to allow her to miss it. Nehel knew she wouldn’t concentrate all day, and her thoughts would be stuck on her mom, but to make sure her mother didn’t fuss and make things worse she had consented to go, as long as she got to take the car and come check on her mother at lunch. Her mother had agreed and so here Nehel was, resisting the urge to run back to her car and hide away. She finally faced her fears and walked through the front doors and into the populated building. Nehel didn’t know where her first class was, but she just followed the crowd, hoping it would lead her somewhere, and if not, oh well, she’d tried; if she couldn’t find her class hopefully she could find a music room with a nice piano or something of the musical sort.
And so it was, this was Nehel’s new life. She could be whoever she wanted, she was no longer the rich girl who owned half the town, now she was Nehel, just Nehel, but she wouldn’t go by that, she hated that name, not the name in particular, but the grandmother it associated with it. She would go by Ruth or Ruthie. No one would know about her money, no one would know about her mom’s cancer, no one would give her pity or use her for money and fancy things. No, things were going to be different now; things were going to be better.
