Lily Luna
Lily Luna, at age 21, has given up on falling in love. Her mother told her she took one shortcut too many. She was not committed to the relationship, or something. Lily prefers to think that no one will ever love the mess of a girl she has turned into.
She has cheated too many times to count. She has lied through her teeth to the people she loved. She let Scorpius and Lysander and Lorcan and Teddy and everyone she knows slip through her finger without so much as a goodbye.
Lily prefers to isolate herself. It's like a chase—Where will her brothers find her next? What pathetic Muggle job will she be working at? How does she manage to scrape by?
Who will she be letting down next time she leaves?
How much more can Lily Luna Potter handle before she collapses under the pressure?
When will she finally give up on shortcuts and goodbyes and running and find someone she cares about?
