“I always wanted to travel more.”
'''“That's not my problem.”'''


Lily Keil is the second-in-command and medic of one of Kislev's elite commando teams, the Black Wolves.  Kislev's high command accused her and the Captain, Leon Albus, of killing their entire squad while attempting to turn coat to Aveh.  Rather than face court martial, she displayed secret sorcerous abilities--previously hidden from her superiors--in order to help them escape. These abilities were similar enough to Gebler's powers that she's now facing charges of espionage in addition to treason. The transition to life as a Drifter has been fairly easy  for her, except for a greater melancholy than ever before.  She retains a practical, almost ruthless military mindset and an understated sense of humor.  While she lost her own ARM, she picked up another thanks to a botched robbery perpetrated against them, and another in Adlehyde.  Now much of her concern is looking after her Captain while they seek justice for their squad's deaths, answers from their superiors, and the truth of a dangerous automaton called "Gryndille." 
Lily Keil is the second-in-command and medic of the Black Wolves, an indepenent mercenary company that formed in the wake of an attempt on Prime Minister Shakhan's life, and one of two survivors of an elite Kislevi commando team of the same name.  She was accused of high treason and espionage when displaying her secret Ether abilities, but her status as regards her home nation is in dispute since an effort to save the Kaiser himself... from her own father.  She is known now as a dangerous, violent woman of unpredictable sorcerous power, an outspoken enemy of Gebler and a skeptic of conventional government.  Her presence at an engagement is an almost sure sign of significant collateral damage, and she seems to show no hesitation to kill those sent in her path.  Her occasional cooperation with some authority, support for those Metal Demon refugees who claim to seek peace, and continued presence in attempting to save the world on behalf of the Guardians all call her overall goals into question.  More worryingly, she's been sighted at some battles effecting a transformation into some inhuman form that only increases her magical abilities.  The simple truth is that war and the loss of her comrades has affected Lily deeply, and she will go to extreme lengths to keep safe her partner and Captain, Leon Albus--along with the others who have worked their way into her loyalties now.


== Background ==
= Background =


Raised in Kislev after her adoption by a childless military family in Nortune, Lily Keil doesn't even remember a world before her new parents, and remembers nothing of the reconnaissance mission that saw her father, Dietrich Keil, lead soldiers to where she turned out to be.  She had a difficult time adjusting to the new environment, but in time began to see Nortune as the only home she had ever known.  She continued to have difficulty interacting with her peers, however, for many reasons.  The first was her personality, but the second was the secret her parents helped her hide:  she was gifted with a form of magic wholly unfamiliar to most.  If she did not hide, she would be taken away from her family.  For a girl whose whole world was her parents and their house, this was a terrible possibility.

And then they were attacked by Gryndille.  Their entire squad, save for Lily and Leon, was killed, and Lily pouring out every mote of magic she could muster did nothing.  She could not save them.  The soldiers who came across them wanted to arrest them as traitors... and after that day, they would want Lily Keil, sorceress, as a Gebler spy as well.

They went to Adlehyde as Drifters and fugitives.  On the run, Lily would watch out for the both of them.

From there, Lily's opinion of conventional governments in general have only cooled; while she could have made a home in Adlehyde, the invasion of the Metal Demons would derail that possibility and send Lily even further back into her wartime habits. 


== Powers and Abilities ==
==Chapter 1, Act 1==


Lily is a potent wielder of Ether, a sorceress of significant power and startling control.  Her power lets her summon columns of flame, great lances of ice, and raw blasts of pure destructive power.  It also allows her to heal wounds and support her allies through uses abstract and otherwise of her primary elements.  She adapts her magic to allow her to fight in close quarters when necessary, which tends to be in the right kind of fight.
Lily adapted poorly to civilian life, becoming quieter and more withdrawn, discarding much besides her need for vengeance.  But this is also when she met many people who would become important to her in the coming days, though not in the ways she would've expected at the time.  She began work as a Drifter, became accustomed to travelling in dungeons, and first encountered Malevolence in Port Timney.  The infection of it that she would contract began in a dirty cavern, at a blood-soaked altar.  It was with the Yggdrasil Alliance that she began to act as part of a group again.  And it was in these days that war came to Adelhyde, and destroyed the peace she'd started to find.  In the journey west, however, she would find a new mission.


Her primary elements are fire, ice, and darkness, with darkness being the one she manipulates with the most facility of all.  Three is already significant for an Ether-wielder, and she handles all of them with fine control and enough speed to use them as shields in a pinch. 
==Chapter 1, Act 2 through Epilogue==


Lily's magic is sufficiently destructive that it can effectively harm Gear-scale opponents; her power, simply, is to destroy things in a variety of ways.  Unfortunately, there are those who would hunt her for same.
Bein' on the run, workin' for the Guardians, dealing with Malevolence, blowing up her robot son, deciding /not/ to blow up the planet with Id


Aside from her magic, Lily is a trained commando and medic, expert in skills such as stealth, basic hand to hand combat, marksmanship, various medical skills, and demolitions.  She makes use of her demolition abilities in dungeons, as well as her notes on previous obstacles.  She's also handled Gears, though she was primarily an infantrywoman and a combat medic.  She's particularly good at stitches.  She's an adept second-in-command, though she prefers not to lead. 
==Chapter 2, Act 1==


== Relationships ==
A lot of thinking, stepping back; participating in the periphery of the war, she mostly focused on treating Leon Albus's wounds and working with the Al Bhed--and then on /not/ wrecking Spira by accident with her power.  Questions of identity have come to the forefront here--What does it mean, to be Sharon Wyatt?  Is this her true identity?  And what does it mean to accept it as such?


''Him''
==Chapter 2, Act 2==


* [[Leon Albus]]:  Everything.  What she did to get them both away is still worth it.  As long as she can stay with him, anything else is bearable.
A journey to Shae Ving, a strange ruin in the Sielje mountains, would provide more answers and questions both.  The scope of Lily's search has expanded considerably, but with the addition of a ship on which to travel--an ancient ship that she nevertheless knows how to use.  A confrontation with her adoptive father seems more and more inevitable by the day, as far as she's concerned, and a clash with it between her two identities.


''Associates''
= Skills, Powers and Abilities =


* [[Bart Fatima]]: Lily started on a single job with Bart, and that's turned over time to joining his crew when she isn't busy with her own mission, a medical officer aboard the Yggdrasil and known by many nicknames among the men.  Most of them don't reach her ears.  She's become fond of him--fond enough to give him shit--and she thinks what he wants to do is worthwhile.  She's willing to call him out on a bad idea... But she's just as willing to lead the way with him on something crazy, or provide a more deliberate eye than his tends to be.  It's good to have a good working relationship; it makes her feel better.
Lily Keil is a witch.  Once, she was known as a medic and a commando, and she retains those skills--battlefield medicine, surgery, stealth, knife-fighting, firearms, and so on.  Since the first meeting with Gryndille though, she's become known for her magic, which is both dangerous and unsettling.  It is recognizeable to those who know it as Ether, but she doesn't rely on Solaris's elemental classifications or casting styles.  No Crests, no Symbols, and no formal training absent simple practice.  Her power is highly destructive, and collateral damage is a significant concern when she gets into battle.  While she uses no ordinary means of calling up her power--and indeed does so casually--she relies heavily upon detailed advanced math to direct that power and choose the amounts to use, and can benefit from pre-written formulas and lists of reference constants to simplify the process of casting.  Notably, she has no particular immunity to her own spells, and can easily harm herself with her magic.  When casting, she also gains strange circuit-like patterns gleaming on her skin.


* [[Fei Fong Wong]]: This boy actually called her his friend.  He's complicated; he has a lot going on with him, and some of it Lily finds familiar, and some merely sympathetic.  She knows some of the looks in his eyes, the difficulties she has, and she's both protective of him and willing to rely on him.  She trusts him, and as she said to Fei herself, trust means that if he ever puts a knife in her ribs then it will have been worth it.
Also, she has a Dog, who is a medium-sized black-furred canine she raised from a puppy found in the desert.  Dog is combat trained, and occasionally helps Lily in fights.  In any case she is a very Good Girl.


* [[Jacqueline Barber]]: A positive relationship, and Lily's personal favorite apothecary, who prescribes the only medicine that lets Lily sleep anymore.  She's nice, and Lily has her working on other projects as well as best she's able... though Jay refuses to be charged for this one.  Lily has trusted her with plenty of secrets already, and would like to help her further in return if she can.  If nothing else she's good company.
She also has a strange transformative ability, but mysteriously, she hasn't used it since the transit to Spira.  More to the point, though, she has a number of skills and a good bit of knowledge that she can't recall ever having learned; she is a fluent speaker of the Zeboim language and surprises herself with knowledge of sciences that she never studied in detail.  She's no ARMS meister, but a decent mechanic, trained in demolition (she /did/ study those), and is working towards engineering (she is actually studying this, even if she finds she has some of the necessary background without recalling why.)


* [[Josephine Lovelace]]: Josie drives Lily nuts, and Lily adores her.  She shouldn't trust this quickly, but she does. She knows secrets of this woman's and Josie knows secrets of hers, and Josie's never going to entirely escape being Lily's patient so long as they're together.  Josie might be a bad influence on the younger Lily... But Lily doesn't mind something a little less dour now and then.   
As for her magic, she primarily uses four elements, two of which correspond to elements more typical of Solarian Ether: Fire, Darkness, Ice, and Light.  But they're strange expressions; ice is normal enough, but her use of darkness includes disintegrations and gravitic powers as well as shadow, and her expression of Light is more properly golden nuclear fire and fields of magical force, with absolutely no purifying or 'holy' power at all.  She can't do water magic aside from ice at all, and her fire magic includes both flames and healing and general work with life force.   


* [[Jude Moshe]]:  Lily was furious with Jude, and then he helped her.  Then he disappeared, and then he saved her life facing of against Siegfried and a strange man with red hair.  Everything he did was entirely fine; he helped her rest, he got her a doctor, just like when he helped her before in a matter she still keeps secret.  This is all after he tried to capture her and Leon both.  In short, Lily finds him entirely confusing, but is forced to conclude that she's able to trust him more than she would expect.  She isn't entirely comfortable with it, but it's true.  What does it really want?  Either way, she owes him a debt, and she'll pay it.
It's spooky.  Just focus on the Dog.


* [[Lunata Croze]]: This girl is adorable and this girl is also trouble.  Lunata knows a few things about Lily, and Lily feels that it was worthwhile to tell her and her mother both.  There's a lot more to Lunata than it would seem to most.  Lily's attempted to take a bit of responsibility for teaching her some things she might need, though that doesn't stop her from enjoying Lunata's cooking when she has the chance.  Good home cooking is something she's not going to turn down.  But what is the nature of Ge Ramda...?  It's Lunata's right to join what may be a war, but Lily hopes it doesn't break her.
In Digs she brings smarts, magical power, and a few strange and mystical Tools.


* [[Riesenlied]]: Extremely complicated.  They became on good terms back before the invasion of Adlehyde, finding much in common with one another and much to discuss.  Lily found she had more in common with Riesenlied than she would have imagined, both then and when they would fight during the Invasion.  Riesenlied is her brighter mirror, the brilliant light to Lily's all-encompassing gloom.  She's fairly certain that the Metal Demon is a better person than she is.  If she really can achieve this peace, that's well and good, but Lily has little hope of it.  She won't try to stop her though; she has no reason to do that. 
= Relationships =


* [[Agatha Pyrelight|Anna]]: Agatha Pyrelight's alias, Anna is a woman Lily has gotten to know over time, who seemed largely ordinary except for a few unusual features, and now seems much the same but stronger, possessed of a powerful aura.  Lily has concerns for her safety as a rule, but they may be unfounded these days.  This woman is an important confidant, and the primary source of Lily's information outside herself and scattered notes on Malevolence.  She has given Lily encouragement to experiment with its power, and advice as to how to control it rather than be overwhelmed.  Whether or not this is a good idea, however...

* [[Cassidy Cain]]: In some ways confusing, and in some ways not; Lily has a lot of questions about this woman, but finds her stories believable.  Most of her suspicions are smoothed over by the fact that their meeting was incredibly embarrassing and that Leon seems to have a favorable impression of her.  It may yet prove to be a dangerous lapse in her guard.  In the meantime Lily legitimately enjoyed talking with Cassidy, as unusual as that is for her. 
=Soundtrack=


* [[Hiro]]: So naive that he seriously gets on Lily's nerves, mostly because she thinks he's a good kid and likely to get himself killed for it most anytime here.  She has a standing intention to have a boxing match with him.  Really, openly helping the enemy?  Even if he is already a traitor...
==Donations==


* [[Lucia]]: Fascinating, on many levels. Lily doesn't find her demeanor particularly off-putting, but she is very interested in her magic. She doesn't know her terribly well, but she's not especially certain how best to change that, if at all.  Sympathetic to her cause, regardless, so long as it doesn't get in the way of her own.

* [[Noeline]]:  Lily respects Noeline.  The Crimson Noble proved herself competent before, and now that she's aware she's a Metal Demon she can understand her positions in this conflict.  She may still have to fight her, but Lily doesn't intend to seek it out.  It's unusual to speak to someone who's lived centuries as far as Lily is aware.

* [[Shalune Amira]]: A troublemaker, but a pleasant troublemaker.  She means well, and intends to protect Lunata, and has a fascinating affinity for machines.  Lily's seen her at work in small settings. She likes her; she's smart, analytical, and even if she can be a little silly, it's not wrong for a girl her age to be that way. She's talented regardless. She has concerns for her.

“That's not my problem.”

Lily Keil is the second-in-command and medic of the Black Wolves, an indepenent mercenary company that formed in the wake of an attempt on Prime Minister Shakhan's life, and one of two survivors of an elite Kislevi commando team of the same name. She was accused of high treason and espionage when displaying her secret Ether abilities, but her status as regards her home nation is in dispute since an effort to save the Kaiser himself... from her own father. She is known now as a dangerous, violent woman of unpredictable sorcerous power, an outspoken enemy of Gebler and a skeptic of conventional government. Her presence at an engagement is an almost sure sign of significant collateral damage, and she seems to show no hesitation to kill those sent in her path. Her occasional cooperation with some authority, support for those Metal Demon refugees who claim to seek peace, and continued presence in attempting to save the world on behalf of the Guardians all call her overall goals into question. More worryingly, she's been sighted at some battles effecting a transformation into some inhuman form that only increases her magical abilities. The simple truth is that war and the loss of her comrades has affected Lily deeply, and she will go to extreme lengths to keep safe her partner and Captain, Leon Albus--along with the others who have worked their way into her loyalties now.

Background

Raised in Kislev after her adoption by a childless military family in Nortune, Lily Keil doesn't even remember a world before her new parents, and remembers nothing of the reconnaissance mission that saw her father, Dietrich Keil, lead soldiers to where she turned out to be. She had a difficult time adjusting to the new environment, but in time began to see Nortune as the only home she had ever known. She continued to have difficulty interacting with her peers, however, for many reasons. The first was her personality, but the second was the secret her parents helped her hide: she was gifted with a form of magic wholly unfamiliar to most. If she did not hide, she would be taken away from her family. For a girl whose whole world was her parents and their house, this was a terrible possibility.

Leon Albus, a boy only slightly older than she was, was the first to whom she let slip her secret, and his amazed reaction captured her heart early. They would become fast friends, preparing together to enter the Nortune Military Academy, and when she came of age she joined as well, as she'd intended. She succeeded wildly, second in her class behind Leon even with the extra work they put in practicing her magic and her multiple fields of study, focusing on medicine like her mother. She also proved a fairly popular girl, well-liked even before her father's promotions factored in. Internally, she knew this sociability was because of her time with Leon learning to better deal with people. She learned better to deal with Leon too; they didn't end the Academy as only friends.

Both would prove effective soldiers; her wide capabilities made up for her lesser combat capabilities as compared to the stronger Leon, and while she lacked leadership inclinations she had analysis and insight in spades. She could not save all of her patients, but no one can. When they were promoted to the Wolves, now First Lieutenant Keil accepted the position as Captain Albus's second in command. They would strike many blows against Aveh and save many Kislevi soldiers over time. War was hard on her in other ways; she hardened, and most of her progress socially was reversed except in bedside manner. Now and then, Lily was forced to use her magic to protect herself and Leon, but never in front of the rest of their unit.

And then they were attacked by Gryndille. Their entire squad, save for Lily and Leon, was killed, and Lily pouring out every mote of magic she could muster did nothing. She could not save them. The soldiers who came across them wanted to arrest them as traitors... and after that day, they would want Lily Keil, sorceress, as a Gebler spy as well.

They went to Adlehyde as Drifters and fugitives. On the run, Lily would watch out for the both of them. From there, Lily's opinion of conventional governments in general have only cooled; while she could have made a home in Adlehyde, the invasion of the Metal Demons would derail that possibility and send Lily even further back into her wartime habits.

Chapter 1, Act 1

Lily adapted poorly to civilian life, becoming quieter and more withdrawn, discarding much besides her need for vengeance. But this is also when she met many people who would become important to her in the coming days, though not in the ways she would've expected at the time. She began work as a Drifter, became accustomed to travelling in dungeons, and first encountered Malevolence in Port Timney. The infection of it that she would contract began in a dirty cavern, at a blood-soaked altar. It was with the Yggdrasil Alliance that she began to act as part of a group again. And it was in these days that war came to Adelhyde, and destroyed the peace she'd started to find. In the journey west, however, she would find a new mission.

Chapter 1, Act 2 through Epilogue

Bein' on the run, workin' for the Guardians, dealing with Malevolence, blowing up her robot son, deciding /not/ to blow up the planet with Id

Chapter 2, Act 1

A lot of thinking, stepping back; participating in the periphery of the war, she mostly focused on treating Leon Albus's wounds and working with the Al Bhed--and then on /not/ wrecking Spira by accident with her power. Questions of identity have come to the forefront here--What does it mean, to be Sharon Wyatt? Is this her true identity? And what does it mean to accept it as such?

Chapter 2, Act 2

A journey to Shae Ving, a strange ruin in the Sielje mountains, would provide more answers and questions both. The scope of Lily's search has expanded considerably, but with the addition of a ship on which to travel--an ancient ship that she nevertheless knows how to use. A confrontation with her adoptive father seems more and more inevitable by the day, as far as she's concerned, and a clash with it between her two identities.

Skills, Powers and Abilities

Lily Keil is a witch. Once, she was known as a medic and a commando, and she retains those skills--battlefield medicine, surgery, stealth, knife-fighting, firearms, and so on. Since the first meeting with Gryndille though, she's become known for her magic, which is both dangerous and unsettling. It is recognizeable to those who know it as Ether, but she doesn't rely on Solaris's elemental classifications or casting styles. No Crests, no Symbols, and no formal training absent simple practice. Her power is highly destructive, and collateral damage is a significant concern when she gets into battle. While she uses no ordinary means of calling up her power--and indeed does so casually--she relies heavily upon detailed advanced math to direct that power and choose the amounts to use, and can benefit from pre-written formulas and lists of reference constants to simplify the process of casting. Notably, she has no particular immunity to her own spells, and can easily harm herself with her magic. When casting, she also gains strange circuit-like patterns gleaming on her skin.

Also, she has a Dog, who is a medium-sized black-furred canine she raised from a puppy found in the desert. Dog is combat trained, and occasionally helps Lily in fights. In any case she is a very Good Girl.

She also has a strange transformative ability, but mysteriously, she hasn't used it since the transit to Spira. More to the point, though, she has a number of skills and a good bit of knowledge that she can't recall ever having learned; she is a fluent speaker of the Zeboim language and surprises herself with knowledge of sciences that she never studied in detail. She's no ARMS meister, but a decent mechanic, trained in demolition (she /did/ study those), and is working towards engineering (she is actually studying this, even if she finds she has some of the necessary background without recalling why.)

As for her magic, she primarily uses four elements, two of which correspond to elements more typical of Solarian Ether: Fire, Darkness, Ice, and Light. But they're strange expressions; ice is normal enough, but her use of darkness includes disintegrations and gravitic powers as well as shadow, and her expression of Light is more properly golden nuclear fire and fields of magical force, with absolutely no purifying or 'holy' power at all. She can't do water magic aside from ice at all, and her fire magic includes both flames and healing and general work with life force.

It's spooky. Just focus on the Dog.

In Digs she brings smarts, magical power, and a few strange and mystical Tools.
