Born Lillian Minerva Abbott, Lily is the youngest of the prolific Abbott's, a vast hunting family in the town of Feldgrau. Growing up Lily had an easy childhood, albeit lonely and lacking in certain areas. As a child she was often seen reading or observing others, not finding much need in interacting for a long time. Once she gained her footing, she often wanted to lead others but we never taken very seriously due to her age and small stature. AS she grows, she becomes more outspoken but still struggles interacting with others, preferring in general to dive into her work on her own.

Lily acts as a companion to the main trio, but it is somewhat in her own self interest. She is fascinated with Ariana's cambion summoning, a curiosity that would lead to her development of Essence for humans to use against monsters. Sometimes she requires help with various small tasks, and will ask the trio for assistance. Through these small interactions, she becomes a bigger character throughout the story once she grows attached to the trio and other main characters along the way. A major turning point for her is her first major fight with Evelyn and nearly dying, being saved by Yichen by him pushing her into running water to escape. This helped her get over her irrational fear of death, which prevents her from being as good of a hunter as she wishes to be. Once safe and home, she writes a letter to her older brother Calden, letting him know she knew what her path was and leaving to aid Yichen in finding justice for humankind against the cambion and nephilim.

In her older age, Lily has become more balanced in her emotions and deals better with her frustrations. She develops her own pain of guns known as Anima and Animus, fully utilizing Essence within each gun. Ontop of this, she has two children, Caspian and Cordelia. Lily takes an unconventional turn when raising them, keeping them somewhat separate from her traditional family and instead having them learn under different hunting families to expand their knowledge of hunting. She relaxes a little more as she ages as well, picking up a love for sewing and ritiring from engineering after she develops her guns.
