lily is 30, originally from seattle, and comes from a big korean family. her parents are immigrants who moved to the states in the late 70s and settled in the seattle area. lily had a fairly normal childhood; she was a cheerleader in high school, very christian (she was planning on waiting until marriage), and sort of the typical good girl. she went to uw, fell in love for the first time, and wound up getting pregnant at the beginning of her senior year of college. he broke up with her and basically abandoned her. she decided to put the child up for adoption but when it came time she couldn't do it. her parents were upset with her and tried to make her change her mind but she wouldn't budge. so when her daughter was two months old, her parents basically gave her an ultimatum; give the baby up or be kicked out. she wound up staying with a neighbor for a week and got an offer from her aunt in san francisco; come live with her and work in her restaurant as a waitress. she took her up on that and moved to sf in late 2010. while living with her aunt and uncle she put herself through graduate school and eventually got a degree in social work. she wound up in a relationship, they moved in together, she became pregnant with another daughter, but she refused to marry him/let him adopt her oldest. they broke up in january and lily is still in love with him. personality-wise she's sweet and friendly but keeps things to herself, especially painful stuff. she hates being a burden and doesn't want other people to feel bad for her. she's flighty, likes to laugh, can be childlike, likes asking questions, and talks about a mile a minute. she loves meeting people, makes friends easily, and is definitely an extrovert who craves being around people.
