(The novels mention Lily as having dark eyes and long straight dark brown hair customarily tied in a ponytail. But the covers always show her with loose wavy hair—which seems to get wavier and poofier with each cover!—and usually with purplish eyes. Although the books often describe her outfits because of the series’ vintage clothes theme, her physical appearance isn’t mentioned much. So, I just go with the cover appearances for that aspect since that’s what the very limited amount of art I have shows.)
Clothes: Lily wears vintage outfits a lot in canon, black or white when planning to cast a spell, and Keds in various colors are her usual footwear. In Death City, she has been mostly wearing old jeans and sweaters from thrift shops, partly for practicality (because of the gardener job) and partly to keep a low profile. She has acquired a few vintage dresses but doesn’t wear them as often as she would back home.
Other Miscellaneous Notes: Despite leaving Texas over a decade ago, Lily still has an accent and twangs when she talks.
In canon, Lily was born without fingerprints due to a genetic condition and it has carried over to Death City. Other characters may note this if they ever talk to her in person and get a really close look at her fingertips.
Also, she is allergic to cats and will sneeze if around them.
