Lillian has brown hair and striking bright blue eyes, which seem to pop out from her mostly plain appearance. From many days wandering about outside, her skin has tanned. She is a bit short for her age, standing at about 4 feet and 6 inches.

Lillian is a shy and quiet girl who prefers to spend most of her time alone. Her quiet nature means she almost seems to fade into the background at times, playing a background character to everyone else's story. She tends to put others' needs before herself, which can be both a blessing and a curse. Not very open, it can take some time to get close to her, but, when you do, her loyalty is unmatched.

Growing up, she has always had a significant love for beasts, both magical and non-magical. Over the course of her relatively short life, she has owned, cared for, and befriended many different kinds of animals, and feels she gets alone better with them than she does with people.

Other interests of hers include reading, writing, and drawing. She loves to express her creativity, although she doesn't have too much of a talent for art. She can often be found in a field or forest with a book and a pet by her side, or galloping a pony through a meadow.

Lillian has had a happy childhood so far, raised by Adam and Julia Ward, a Muggle father and a witch mother. Growing up on a farm in rural areas meant that her family did not need to hide their magic, unless paternal relatives or Muggle friends came to visit. Lillian was well-suited to the farm life, and had quite a few chores to do. Of course, the difficult ones were done by her elder brother, Jacob, and sister, Aria, but everyone was expected to pull their own weight.

Her school life wasn't much to brag about. Her father wanted her to be exposed to his Muggle culture, and so an agreement was made that she would be sent to a Muggle school until she turned 11. A shy child like her struggled to befriend most children, but was quite close with Lorna Thomas, who she knew since her first day. Lillian's teachers found nothing to complain about this golden straight A child. All except one. No matter what, Lillian refused to try hard when it came to sports, not liking the physical exertion and not interested in any sports her teacher tried to engage her in.

However, she found her love of a sport at home, not school. Ever since she was 5, Lillian was introduced to horseback riding, and there was no turning back. Here was a sport that engaged her love of animals. She would often take her little pony, Bubbles, out on trail rides, and this proved to be a significant part of her life as she took every opportunity she could to learn more.

When she was 8 years old, Lillian was out on a ride on her little pony, Bubbles. She attempted to canter across a grassy field which, at first glance, looked flat and safe, but was quite uneven. Her pony tripped and fell, causing Lillian to fall out of the saddle and injure her ankle. Full of pain, she managed to heal her own ankle without realizing it. Only later, when she felt the pain subside and arrived home good as new, did she realize what had happened.
