--Character History:
Lilian had two brothers, Jerom and Benley,
and her mother and father. Her father had
grown up a soldier's life in Saldea and hadn't
enjoyed it much when he met Lilian's mother,
who was from the Tower Rivers in Manetheran
visiting relations and the like. Her father
agreed to settle down and get away from the
hectic life of the Borderlands to a more
remote area in the Two Rivers. It took them
a while to fit in but they were soon flourishing
a family.
Lilian was the youngest and was put to work
on the fields at a young age despite the
fact that she was a girl. She constantly
tried to prove to her father that she was
as good as her two older brothers were when
working on the field. This helped develop
her very strong sense of determination. At
times, when she was older, it would often
overrule reason which is why she soon became
frightened of it. When she visited Devon's
ride she made a few friends all of whom were
boys except for Chenly, a formidable little
girl with a fiery temper, much like her own.
Lilian was not quick to anger, in fact she
was quite a hyper and happy child, but when
she became angry it was much like when she
became determined and she would not budge
her opinion.
A few months later her father died. Benley
and Jerom had already moved out and married,
being so much older. It was a freak accident
in the town of Devon's Ride, where bricks
had slid off a roof and killed him. After
that her mother had gone into a depression.
They moved to Baerlon where her mother could
find work as a weaver, for a woman and a
little girl could not keep up a farm. When
they settled there, Lilian cut her hair considerably
short and immediately regretted it. Her mother
had said her dark reddish brown hair was
so thick and beautiful and only when the
strands fell to the floor, did Lilian believe
her. For a few years they lived in Baerlon
quietly, Lilian made a couple new friends
from her loud and happy nature, even if stubborn
and strange when angered she quickly made
friends.
Lilian quickly developed an interest in the
White Tower and to some day move out on her
own to find some sort of excitement. When
she was about 15 almost 16, Lilian was managing
the shop while her mother was out shopping
in the market. Two men came in suddenly and
tried to rob her. Unfortunately, the one
power had just started to manifest itself
in Lilian only few weeks before. She had
been doing little things like healing a few
bruises her mother got without knowing how,
or moving large objects that she thought
she couldn't with her own strength. She thought
it had just been a normal thing and that
it was part of growing up. She was proved
wrong when these robbers intruded on her.
In a desperate attempt to save all that she
and her mother had worked for and in pure
anger at these men, Lilian channeled the
one power and blasted the men out of the
shop. She didn't know how she did it, only
that the front window of the shop lit on
fire and then men broke their arms and legs.
The same day, while cleaning up, Lilian was
confronted by an Aes Sedai. The woman said
she didn't even need to test Lilian for she
had felt her channel in the Inn across the
street. The AS said she had the ability to
learn to channel and would bring her back
to the White Tower. In much excitement she
packed her things quickly and was on her
way. Her departure with her mother was rough
but she managed a few promises to visit in
later years and that she would take care
of herself.
