Lily

Lily is a cranky water elf of the Water Healer clan kin-bonded to the equally cranky water dragon Oceana. Lily hates fire, is not polite, and was the driving force behind the dragons learning to swim. Lily rescued Oceana from her depression and her swampy home in Lily & Oceana, thereby getting stuck with the little dragon. They are marked by the Dragon Star. Lily is the narrator of Lily &amp; Oceana.

Appearance
Lily is a tall, gangly elf with dark hair. She looks sort of sour most of the time.

Personality
Lily is, in Alonia's words, all piss and vinegar. She's not nice, and she doesn't want to be. Lily hates crowds, dust, and dryness. Once you get her motivated, she's not going to stop pursuing her goal.

Oceana
Lily is kin to Oceana. She loves her dragon, and tries to make sure Oceana is entertained and finds reasons to live. Oceana and Lily share a mutual trust and love of water. When Oceana does nasty things, the consequences land on Lily, but Lily loves her all the same.

Alonia and Trift
Alonia is Lily's best friend. Lily and Alonia bicker like sisters, always snipping at each other, but if one is insulted the other will be the first to throw a punch. Alonia and Lily are roomates, teammates, and friends. Lily seems to get along with Trift, who is very easy-going.

Sapphire and Lotus
Lily is Sapphire's friend. Lily is thankful for Sapphire's help when she becomes kin, and is willing to fight like Sapphire when difficulties arise. Lily wants Lotus to be friends with Oceana, and she likes Lotus.

Kellen
Lily is friends with Kellen. Lily recognizes how smart and powerful her small, undersetimated friend is, and wants Kellen to get her dragon. Lily appreciates Kellen's help.

Karis and Afran
Lily listens to Karis and Afran, but she's careful around them. Afran falls in Lily's opinion when he tries to force Oceana to conform to normal dragon ways without seeing her view.

Irin and Kis
Lily really respects Irin and Kis. She sees their bravery, kindness, and good intents. Kis is good friends with Oceana, and that ties Lily to them.

Sapphire &amp; Lotus
Lily first appears in the second part of this book, emerging from a lesson with Sapphire, Kellen, and Alonia.

Backstory
Lily grew up an orphan in the Water Healer clan. She lived a hard life, eating scraps and hanging around docks. She didn't have many friends, mostly because she wasn't nice. At some point, she was brought to the dragon kin village. She was there before Sapphire, but by how much is unknown.

Trivia

 * Lily is the only known water elf.
 * Lovissa remarks that lilies are fragile things, a name unbefitting to one so fierce.
