A p p e a r a n c e
Lillian stands at a nice five foot nine (and a half) inches and weighs in at a stable 140 lbs. Her frame is relatively slender, with a butt as big as a cantaloupe and a chest flatter than a runway. Lillian's shoulder length blonde-brown hair is usually kept down, not being a big fan of having it up in the first place. She much prefers to flaunt her locks and let them free rather than spend time figuring out ways to have it up other than the boring ponytail or bun. Braiding is too hard for her not-so-delicate fingers and prefers not to get into that effeminate business in an attempt to strip herself from the chains and shackles known as the standards her family holds her to.
Since arriving in the states, Lillian has switched up her wardrobe entirely. Ditching the frilly dresses and complicated outfits for more simple things like t-shirts, button-ups, jeans, and whatnot. Make up is still present in her outfits, but not as heavily as she used to put it. Foundation, eyeliner, and lipstick was all she would really need. Lillian tries to avoid tattoos, as she is deathly afraid of needles but she does wish to get something on her nose, whether it be just a stud or a full on ring.

Lillian, to simply put it, is a very blunt and stubborn person. She presents a very tough shell to crack and very seldom opens up about how she's feeling. Ever since she left home and came to the United States, her personality changed radically. She was what people called a "pushover", letting people of all kind walk all over her back at home. Her parents always seemed to throw her under the bus and put her down whenever they could. That all stacked up and resulted in the extreme personality change once she moved. No more did she have to deal with her shitty ass parents. No more did she have to adhere to ridiculous rules and standards. She was free to be herself.
She will not hesitate to speak her opinion, no matter how much it may be perceived. Being from the United Kingdom, her opinions tend to differ from that of, say, Americans. She is also very capable of saying a lot with her face. Not shying away from making it known that she is disgusted with whoever you are, whatever you've done, and whatever you've said. Being on the bad side of Lillian is not exactly a side you'd want to be on, but at the same time, is also very hard to get away from.
With that being said, however, if one somehow manages to get on Lillian's good side, she can be an absolute delight to be around. Just like with her disdain for you, her like for you is also very easy to read. If she likes you, at least as a person, she'll make it known as well. Despite her attitude, she is still a very thoughtful person. Sometimes she sees things in shops and immediately thinks of someone. Lillian is also incredibly loyal, not backing down from confrontation if it involves those she holds dearly. All in all, it's worth it to try to befriend Lillian, but it isn't easy.

There she is, England's very own Lillian Sterling. One out of two children out of the very famed Sterling family. They're your typical rich, snobby British family. Big ol' estate with more cars and dogs than you can count both your hands and more money than anyone knows to do with.
Of course, every snobby British family starts with the snobby parents. Tiffany and Richard Sterling are some of the most stuck up people on this planet. They'll talk down on you no matter what you do. Nothing you do will ever impress them, even if you are their child. Poor Lillian was always under scrutiny from the day she could walk. Her parents would criticize pretty much everything she did, from the way she looked at the TV all the way to the way she slept. There was no escaping the wrath of the Sterling family.
Not even getting high marks and acing her tests impressed her parents. They dismissed it as dumb luck.
Just like that, she decided to gun for Columbia University. It was an Ivy League school with a reputation for its academics, and luckily her parents let her go, despite them not thinking she was good enough to go to such a place. It's the kind of stuff that makes you sick.
It's no surprise Lillian became the person she is today.
I'll see you around, Lillian Sterling.
