Lilian has red hair. I mostly did it for esthetics, but it also goes well with her fiery rage and personality.

Still one of my favorite scenes that I've written. This is much later in the series, around the second half of the story, and with all the context it's a powerful scene.

I really like a creature I made called the Waldins. They're slow-moving but have incredibly fast reflexes while using their arms as whips. Even the smaller of the species are able to uproot and splinter large swaths of forests with a few swings.

From later in the series of Executioner's Liar. Lilian's a little teensy bit angry. It'll be fine though, it always is in the end... right?

Lilian Willow, Beast of Renoma, stands with the strength of a High C-Ranker, even as she's forced to do the work of an F. Wielding Cicily, the sword named after her sister; she is a force of nature.

Character art for Lilian, but mostly so I can show her off a bit since she's my favorite MC at the moment. As a bonus, here's Sapphire Orchid, I'm sure you can see where I got his looks from, lol.

Lilian Willow wanted nothing more than to lie in the snow. Yet still, she trudged through the frozen wastes, trying to finish these last few jobs. But a chance encounter with a young man rekindles her flame. She wasn't weak; she could do this. One more job.

Honestly... none, really, at least not til later in the series. Joan wants to be a Paladin, but she is too unsure of herself, so she shies away a lot, as opposed to Lilian, who, while also uncertain of herself, constantly launches herself into danger.

Here's a creature post! Waldins can be truly terrifying creatures, ranked A for any number of reasons. But they are slow, so run, and run fast. If you can escape it's reach, then you can live.

Lilian Willow knew that if she didn't stand now, all would be lost. Her companions would die, and all would be lost. So she stood, and she roared her challenge for the Gods to hear. For she was of Man, and Mankind prevailed in the dark.

Writing a scene with Lilian and her Guild Leader, Ezekiel, got the urge to listen to, I Hate Myself For Loving You, by Joan Jett, and it fits so well. Screw him, he's one of my favorite characters to Hate. But he's also one of my favorite characters.

Something I wrote a week or so ago, probably around the middle of the series. Lilian and Peter have a bit of fun while something tries to murder them. All in good fun!

Day 24- What scares me
What scares me as a writer is that I might not get to share my stories. What if people don't think it's good enough, so I never get published? Or what if people hate the way the characters evolve.

The first part of Chapter One from my #WIP, Storm Bringer's Folly. I love this first chapter, it's one of my favorites, and I spent a good while on it. The technical beginning of Lilian's Story.

I've been wanting to dabble in horror. Started something a couple months ago for it. But I just suck at horror I think; need more practice. Any tips?

Would Dumbledore and the Ministry really allow a young boy to run around Diagon Alley with a mass murderer on the loose? Full summary below, thinking about cross-posting it to Ao3.
