POSITIVE TRAITS
- OPTIMISTIC- Lily usually sees the bright side of things. Sure, sometimes she'll have a bad day, but she tries her best to put on a smile.
- TRUSTWORTHY- Most people find it easy to confide in Lily, as she would never spill someone elses secrets. She's usually honest, though she may attempt to lie to a teacher if she missed a homework.
- GIRLY- While some people would say her love of makeup and clothes is stupid, Lily finds it perfectly wonderful. She adores dressing up and is huge romantic. She's a girly-girl through and through.
- INTELLIGENT- Though she's a slacker at times, the blonde is fairly smart. Sure, she's not super mega clever, but she does fairly well in History and is amazing in Math. She's never been one for science, though.
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- NON-ATHLETIC- The girl can't play sports. Or run. Definitely not run. While Lily is fine with swimming and ice skating, she's not a big fan of sweat or sports.
- CLUMSY- Sometimes she trips. Er, actually, she always trips. She's rather unlucky in that department.
- MEDDLESOME- Don't tell her your crush. Seriously. While Lily would never tell a soul of your feelings, she'd definitely try to interfere in your relationship.
- LAZY- It's not that Lily does her homework right before class, but she does tend to put it off. A lot.

- ACTING- Lily is very good at acting. She can speak loud and put emotion into her words, and since her memory is good, she has no trouble taking part in plays or musicals.
WEAKNESSES
- SCIENCE- She really can't do the subject. Every time she tries to do something, it blows up in her face. Literally.
- MEDDLESOME- Lily just can't seem to understand when something's not her business. She just has to interfere.
- FIRE- Since it's the opposite of her element, Lily's always had a hard time with fire. She hates lighting candles, and since she's pretty tolerant of the cold, fireplaces don't suit her.
- BAD LUCK- Even though it's not her fault, Lily always seems to end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. Always.
FEARS
- spiders and snakes
- being burnt alive
- not finding love
- friendlessness

BEST MEMORY
When Lily was ten her mother had breast cancer and was going through chemo. Lily was so upset that year. The day her mother came up to her and told her she was okay and it was all over, Lily was overjoyed. She'll never forget the smile on her mom's face and the happy feeling in their household that lasted for months.
WORST MEMORY During a drive to her grandparents' house, the Rhodes family got into a car crash. Somehow, Lily came out unharmed, but the terrifying image of the two vehicles colliding scared her like crazy.
LONG-TERM GOAL
Lily wants to get married and have kids, but most importantly, she wants to help raise money for cancer patients.

HISTORY
Lily Annabelle Rhodes was born on May 26 as the second child to Taylor and Brandon Rhodes. Her parents were overjoyed and her three year old brother was as well. She grew up in Maple Hollow, surrounded by elementals. Lily's elementary school years were nothing special. She had her group of friends, and she received all good grades.
When Lily was ten, her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. At first, Lily didn't know what was happening. She saw her grandma and her aunts visiting constantly, and she wondered if maybe something was going on. Then, one day, she overheard her mother talking with the doctor on the phone. She overheard the word "cancer" and almost instantly was in a state of shock. She'd only heard of cancer a few times, but she always saw the ads telling her to support the cause, and she'd been given a pink ribbon at the mall once. She'd pinned it to her poster of important things. Lily knew that whatever was happening wasn't good.
That night Lily asked her mom about it at dinner. Her mother replied slowly and a little bitterly. "It's true. I'm sick. But don't worry, sweetie. The doctors will fix it." It hit the little girl like ton of bricks.
Lily didn't notice anything else until the hair started falling out. She constantly asked her mom, but all she did was tell her that it would all be okay. Lily knew it wouldn't. She'd done her research. She knew what her mother had, and she knew how bad it was. But the little girl didn't bring it up. Time passed, and finally, on a wonderful day, her mother told her it was over. And it was. Soon her hair started growing back, and, to Lily's surprise, it was better than before. Her family life turned right side up again, and for the first time in a while, Lily truly felt happy. She had friends, grades, and her family.
Then middle school started and Lily started changing. Her sense of humor developed and she made jokes. Her grades changed, and it was easy to see in which subjects she excelled at, and in which she needed help. Lily's group friends also changed. The girl made friends quickly, but some of her old friends just didn't seem to get along with her anymore.
The summer Lily was thirteen her abilities started showing. She could stay perfectly dry in the rain, and when she went to the pool, she could make little whirlpools in the water. It was obvious that her element was water, and it was concluded about a month later when she was accepted to the Academy.

RP SAMPLEAs Eva looked out the window of her small house, she could see the rain pouring down, and she could hear it beating on the roof of the house. It was days like these that a person could sit down and think without being disturbed. After all, everyone else was too depressed to speak. The fifteen year old didn't understand why no one seemed to like the rain. She'd always thought it gave the world a more... soothing look.
After slipping on her rain boots, Eva headed out. She could hear the soft pitter-patter sound the rain made as it hit the ground and felt relaxed. It was summer, so the rain felt cool on her hot skin. As the blue-eyed girl ran her hands through her soaked hair, she gazed at her surroundings. Everything seemed alive. She could see the grass perking up, as if it had been waiting for this shower for years. Eva's beloved lilies looked brighter and happier, and while the sky was gray, it didn't seem gloomy at all. The brunette smiled slightly, and walked along the road to get to the swing set one of her neighbors had allowed her to use.
The seat was wet, but Eva didn't care. She sat down and started swinging her legs gently. The breeze felt nice and cool, and the rain continued to fall on her. Eva loved the calm atmosphere the rain brought along, and since she enjoyed solitude, it was pleasant when no one came outside. Yes, it was the perfect weather to sit and think. And for Eva, there was a lot to think about.
