Note: I've republished Lily as I made a guide using her, and I don't want to redo it. But - for the life of me, I can't get her LoRA working on Civitai. It always times out. Very annoying! But she works well as a downloaded model.

Lily was made to be completely different from my other model - more withdrawn, gentle, and more complex hair and outfit preferences to test my LoRA training skills.

Lily was born in a sleepy village tucked between misty hills and ancient woods, where the trees whispered old stories and wildflowers painted the meadows in every season. From a young age, Lily was different—not in the way that made people stare, but in the gentle, drifting way clouds move through the sky. Quiet. Kind. A little bit elsewhere.

She was the kind of child who would sit in the corner of the library for hours, legs tucked under her, nose buried in a book about forgotten lands or mythical creatures. Her favorite stories were the ones about fairies—shimmering beings that lived just beyond the edge of sight. Her grandmother used to tell her tales about them, saying if you listened closely in the woods, you could hear their laughter in the rustling leaves.

Lily believed.

But she wasn’t only a bookworm—though she could quote Tolkien better than most adults. She also had a deep love for the outdoors. The forest near her home became her sanctuary. While others gathered in loud, chattering groups, Lily would slip away to her secret spots—beneath the old oak tree with the twisted roots, or beside the creek that danced over mossy stones. She brought her books with her, but often ended up just listening to the birds or watching the light flicker through the canopy.

People in town knew Lily as the “quiet one.” Shy, yes, but never rude. She had a soft smile for anyone who spoke to her, and an uncanny ability to notice the small things—like the first snowdrop of spring, or when someone seemed a little sad. She didn’t say much, but her silence always felt warm, never cold.

Though she didn’t have many close friends, Lily never felt lonely. The forest was alive with company. In her heart, she always felt that fairies were nearby, just out of sight. She left them gifts sometimes—wild berries, tiny bundles of lavender, little notes written in careful, looping handwriting.

Now twenty two, Lily’s world is still made of two halves: one built of paper and ink, the other of wind and wildflowers. She dreams of becoming a writer someday, or maybe a botanist, or maybe… something else entirely. Something magical.

But for now, she’s content. With a book in her backpack, mud on her boots, and a heart that still believes in fairies.
