Hello! I'm Jem (she/her), 33, and I live in England. I work in London on Mondays & Tuesdays, and from home the rest of the week, so my availability is likely to be less earlier on as my commute is 3 hours 15 mins lol. I'm also autistic & ADHD!
This is Lily "Evs" Evans, 4th of her name (extra: sample of her wardrobe). She's frank, audacious, hard to impress, compassionate as all hell, exceptionally moral, listens to the Kinks so f'n much, loves to write long letters, the most Aquarius to ever Aquarius, has a green-eyed auburn-haired cat named Jolene, and that friend who will tell you the truth & be hard on you if she thinks you need it. She's also forthright AF, and makes a great effort to know a wide array of people, no matter how old or in what House. The whole TL;DR.
AT HOGWARTS...
1ST YEAR: Lil' bit standoffish and cool with other Gryffindors for the first term (yes, this was absolutely because Sirius and James left a bad taste in her mouth), mostly hung out with Sev. Absolutely killed it in Charms, DADA, Herbology, squabbled frequently with Slughorn about Potions, forever baffled by Transfiguration, outright walked out of History of Magic to complain about it to Dumbledore. Blew up the Potions classroom twice - once on accident, the other time "on accident". Absolutely made an effort to befriend outside of her house - even after she'd gotten over herself and discovered friendship with the Gryff girls <3. Were you in her year? LET'S CHAT.
2ND YEAR: AKA the year in which Lily crashed a Slug Club event to #network and had charmed half of the party (and scandalized the other half) before Slughorn realized she was there, and they subsequently went from side-eyeing each other to practically becoming BFF. Were you at that party? LET'S CHAT.
3RD YEAR: Her beloved mother, a children's book author with whom Lily exchanged so many long, involved letters, dies. Lily acts out, reacting to any mention of purism or bullying with her wand and her quick mouth. Is strongly encouraged to join Duelling Club, and does so.
Also notable as the year a scummy 7th year boy pursues~ her (either sincerely or as a bet), Lily reacts by flirting with him, and all going along with it.... right up until she pretends to Juliet-herself (as in, Romeo & Juliet) because she was jealous of him flirting with someone else~, succuessfully freaking him the fuck out. She got... so many detentions for that, most of which she spend chatting about Potions with Slughorn, who gave her Felix Felicies for brewing such a perfect Draught of the Living Death. If you didn't know who Lily Evans was before that, I assure you, you knew after that.
4TH YEAR: Something dramatic, probably.
5TH YEAR: Made Prefect, much to her own surprise. Begin to stop reaching for her wand quite so quickly. Got into politics. The visible breakdown of her friendship with Severus - after that day at the lake, she appeared perfectly fine and unbothered, though she blatantly gave him the cold shoulder.
6TH YEAR: Came back from the summer holidays being actually cordial to the Marauders. Focused on her academics. Got more into politics. Made a concentrated effort to get to know other muggle-borns (and apologized for being bff with a purist for so long). Sneaked out to go to gigs.
7th YEAR: Made Head Girl, and enjoyed the challenge of it. Had... something with James Potter. Rather than going straight into Auror or Healer or Unspeakable training, as she'd been considering, Lily decided to take some time...
