Ok, this is just some further background on Lily, since I was pretty vague in her sheet and it's probably going to come into play eventually in a plot with Trevor. Soooo...
~Lily's father and uncle were the co-founders of Blake Enterprises, a Fortune 500 company, so her family is pretty well set for life financially.
~Lily's parents and her unborn sister were all killed when she was four years old when their private plane crashed outside San Fransisco. Lily was the sole survivor of the crash, but was severely injured, having major head trauma and internal bleeding that almost killed her. She was in the hospital for eight months after the crash.
~Her aunt and uncle adopted her purely for appearance's sake. As the CEO of a major Wall Street company, Lionel and Meredith Blake ran in high circles, belonging to the typical NYC high society crowd. It being fashionable to have a 'perfect child' in those crowds, when Lily needed a new home they snapped at the chance. The chance to be fashionable, that is. Truth is, they could care less about their niece.
~Her aunt and uncle decided shortly after they took Lily in that it was the biggest mistake of their lives, and have been taking it out on her ever since. Yes, that's right- they beat her. Mostly for no real reason. Maybe she had a little spot on her shirt, or she didn't do something fast enough, but even if she was a perfect person, they would still beat her anyway. But of course, whenever they went too far and broke her arm or her nose or something like that, they never took her to the hospital. Luckily for Lily, one of the maids in the house was an RN and took pity on her, convincing her aunt and uncle to let her set Lily's broken bones 'just so the neighbors wouldn't wonder.'
~Understandably this has caused some issues for Lily as she's gotten older. When she got to middle school, she got involved with drugs (pot and prescriptions mostly) and started to drink to make herself feel better. When she was younger, she just assumed she wasn't nearly as good as she thought she was being and deserved the punishment. As she got older she realized she was just being beaten for no reason and began to fight back, which always ended with her beaten to a bloody pulp or passing out from being choked, etc. She has never told anyone about the way she's treated at home and is completely terrified of her aunt and uncle, despite the front she portrays.
