Her mother and father would train her well in the coming years. Their banishment had been self imposed, unable to leave their daughter to brave the elements. Her mother had been a huntress in her previous life, and taught her much about physical training. She helped her frail body grow stronger and heartier. Her father was something of a spiritualist, and taught her his philosophy about aura and it's nature. With their help, and the passage of time, she would grow out of her sickly nature, and into a young survivalist.
Unable to enter civil society for reasons not well known to Lily, their little family unit inhabited caves and ruins instead, living a nomadic life. This life would end in abrupt tragedy. An increasingly skillful Lily had been left alone at a cave's entrance while her parents scouted ahead to ensure the safety of the cave. When they returned they found a battlefield with talon marks marring the stone and razor feathers jutting from the ground. The shadow of a massive bird loomed on the horizon. For hours they tracked the beast to it's nest, where they did battle with the creature of Grimm, only to discover signs that their daughter had escaped and fled elsewhere after they had exhausted themselves with the battle. When they trekked through the quickly dimming woods to find her again, they encountered her once again in danger. The hour that followed would end the parents lives, and forever change the daughters.
That incident would plunge her into lonliness and despair, but would endow her with her semblance, the most effective tool in her arsenal to keep her alive in the hostile wilderness. She lived for the greater part of a year before being rescued by a team of hunters and huntresses who came to her at a crucial moment, and put her on the path that led her to Beacon Academy.

Appearance
Lily is a moderately short girl at 5'4". She has long black hair that trails down to the middle of her back, which is often curled and tangled slightly at the ends. Her skin is a ghostly pale color, and thankfully blemish free as anything would be incredibly visible on her. The main exception to the paleness of her skin can be found under her eyes, where as often as not the skin is dark and sagging as a result of her inability to sleep properly. Her eyes are a gunmetal grey, and despite their deep bags, they always are focused and alert. Aside from that, her frame sports very little fat, and quite a lot of lean muscle.Personality
Lily is a girl who is in many ways contradictory. She is intensely wary of new people. Being in large groups of strangers causes her incredible anxiety as a result of the mistrust of others that had been beaten into her. However, she is also desperate to bring more people into her life as a result of the long stretch of solitude that had preempted her enrollment in Beacon. Each new interaction is difficult and challenging for her, but once she makes a connection with another it is something she treasures deeply and sincerely. She is often reserved, but can speak a lot when she gets passionate about something.History
Lilian Yarrow was second born to a set of parents who had years ago abandoned civil society. Her family lineage and the political schemes that set the Yarrow family on its unfortunate path would remain unknown to Lilian. She knew only the life she was born into. Her first memories were of being a sickly child in the Void Blade tribe, deep in the heart of the great forests to the south of vale and the east of Vacuo. Their tribe was a hard tribe, built on the back of a spartan utilitarian mindset that placed group survival above all other things. Despite the fact that the tribe would banish her and fracture her family, these ideals would forever be imparted on the young faunus. She would be accompanied into banishment by her father and mother, while her strong older brother would remain behind in order to seize his dream of becoming a high ranking warrior within the tribe's military heirarchy.Her mother and father would train her well in the coming years.
