mirror of erised: a library larger than the one at Hogwarts, filled from floor to ceiling with books, and children playing on the floor of the library
veritaserum: lillah has a hard time trusting anyone and fears that someone will break her heart before it is accepted.
patronus: osprey and her father taking her on long walks and charming flowers with radically different things
dementor: her mother being tortured by a masked man in Germany after she (her mother) was unable to produce a record of her wizarding parentage
overview: Lillah is studious because she is always in the library, studying history, spells, taking notes, and practicing the charms, jinxes, and hexes she learned in a corner. She is hardworking and determined because of her devotion to high marks and being the best she can be, trying to turn an 'Acceptable' into an 'Outstanding' just because it looks better, and sits better with her conscience. She wants to keep people off her back, and to be left alone to do as she pleases. Dark Magic does not interest her, and the girl just stares at her textbooks when Slytherins walk by.
Lillah, being a woman of the middle class, holds herself to a level different than the snotty purebloods. Lillah is not a terribly flirtatious girl, due to insecurities and her father's reluctance to accept the fact that she is getting older every day. Lillah is sneaky in the sense where she has slipped away from her father and many classmates to practice charms and to send letters to brief lovers. And finally, Lillah is insecure about her body, with having larger breasts and fuller lips than many girls her age, Lillah feels out of place, and it partially drives her to be the studious mind she is.

mother: Joanna Frost (British heritage. comes from a long string of halfbloods. deceased for five months.)
father: Dietrich Falkenrath (German heritage. pureblooded German wizarding family. a secret Death Eater)
siblings: Nikolas, Carver, and Keenan
extended: n/a
monetary: (upper) middle class
overview: Two months after Dietrich Falkenrath and Joanna Frost had married, the announcement of a child was sent to the families. Several months later, little Lillah was born in Germany, her father's birthplace. She was a good child, rarely crying and sleeping most of the night. As her first fourteen months approached, her younger twin brothers, Nikolas and Carver were born. The three grew up together and were very close, using each other as secret keepers and often spoke in a made-up language to confuse their parents. As Lillah turned three, and the twins turned two, the fourth and final Falkenrath, Keenan, was born.
When Lillah was four years old, her father had been offered a job in England which he took so Joanna, who had become withdrawn and depressed, could spend time with her family. They lived in a large manor, a little over an hour from London by any means of muggle transportation. As she grew older, she knew that her brothers, her secret keepers, could no longer be the people she told her secrets to; at age eight she was given a diary and she wrote in it every day. Lillah's secrets she told her closest brothers were poured into the little book, including the first time she had experienced her magical abilities. They were playing in their courtyard with tiny rocks, almost pretending they were zoo animals, and Nikolas threw some at her, playfully. Lillah had a wave of emotions come over her, and the energy levitated the stones and threw them one by one at both Nikolas and Carver. That winter, Carver grew very sick, and eventually died. Healers had said it was some muggle disease that he somehow contracted, and the rest of the family had not.
When Lillah was eleven, in 1988, her Hogwarts acceptance letter had arrived, and her parents were thrilled. Her father took her to the German wandmaker that had fashioned his wand for his schooling in Germany. The beautiful silver birch wand is thin and long with a length of eleven and one quarter inch, and it is also flexible with a single dragon heartstring. They returned to England and she was also given a Tengmalm's (Boreal) Owl to take to Hogwarts. She named her owl Helm, because he used to have a habit of running into the window panes. At the sorting ceremony, Lillah felt extremely nervous, and she was sorted into Ravenclaw, the house of wit, wisdom, and cleverness.
From the start, Lillah tried her hardest to do well and tried to be on all of her teachers good sides, and her fear of failure become a part of her very being. She was always in the library, becoming friends with the books, and learned about harder spells and spells that most students only learned after school, or in private tutoring sessions with their professors. Before the OWLs, she read up on Patronuses and started studying about them, and practiced during lunch due to her full schedule. When it finally came down to OWLs, Lillah received almost all Outstanding and Exceeds Expectations except for History of Magic, Divination, and Herbology where she gained 'Acceptables.' Lillah later dropped all of those classes. She often talks to her brothers Keenan and Nikolas, reminiscing about their youth and deceased brother. They also talk rumors and try to keep everything hush-hush about anything related to the Dark Magic taking over the world. Lillah also has a strong belief that their father is a Death Eater, as most purebloods she assumed were. She now works exceedingly harder trying to meet with the professors after class to schedule practice sessions on various time periods, readings, and plants. As a seventh year, with NEWTs approaching, Lillah has refused to go to any place but the library to spend time to study quietly out of the busy common rooms. Rumor mills are all Lillah sees in the stupid meeting areas.

secret phrase: fight it out
sample:The words that the damned idiots of their Astronomy class hissed about herself and her new boyfriend had dissolved before she even considered acknowledging such foolishness. Lillah Falkenrath and Odin Greyback had officially become a couple in the heart of the Ravenclaw Common Room. Even still, the young girl’s heart was beating undeniably fast and her face was still probably pink as they ascended the stairs to the observation deck. The time spent in the common room was the most intimate situation she had ever been in, so far. Lillah gripped his hand a little tighter. The night was cool for September, so she had brought a light jacket. She knew that the two hour long class was going to be dreadful to sleep after, and the provided time slot was extended for them to sleep, eat, and catch up on any homework they would miss after their first class. Lillah refused to take advantage. Arithmancy followed by Ancient Runes were not classes one should sleep through. Her classmates were primarily of Slytherin and Gryffindor origin and most did not take Astronomy after OWLs. Lillah couldn’t blame them; who can remember such names of stars and constellations?
Wait, she could. Dumb question. Lillah’s fear of failure drove her to remember everything that she learned in class, even History of Magic which was the one that drove everyone mad. Lillah had opted to stay out of the course to pursue more interesting and vital ones to her future career. She wanted to work for the Ministry, or Gringrotts translating runes or translating memos, e-mails, and letters to foreign Ministries to and from France and Germany. Lillah yawned slightly as they moved to the edge of a railing to look at a telescope and the sky itself. Lillah gained goose bumps when Odin leaned down and whispered in her ear. “Hypocrisy and prejudice are things I’d see die, but we all know how that is,” she said through clenched teeth, trying to remain civil to the insolent bastards that mocked her and her boyfriend behind their backs.
Lillah noticed that Odin had looked up. She, too, glanced at the sky. The tiny pinpricks were something that was barely noticeable in London. It was also something that gave her an uneasy feeling. Odin tapped her shoulder as he mentioned love and shooting stars. She smiled and looked at him. “I do believe your mother is spot on then, Odin,” she whispered as she rubbed his arm. More idiotic voices reached her ears and she turned sharply on her heel. She made sure one of the lanterns caught her ‘Prefect’ badge on her jacket. Gryffindor was proudly emblazoned on his face and robes. “You filthy little pest,” she started taking a step towards him. “You dare call me a whore when you go around trying to stick it in every little girl that begs you to screw her? I’m the whore, huh? Back off. Otherwise I’ll make you,” a pause and Lillah drew her wand. The wand was beautiful: eleven and three quarter’s inches made entirely of rowan, with braided unicorn tail hair, and Lillah would not refuse to cast the fool into the Hospital Wing.
“If you’re so brave, at free block tomorrow, duel in the courtyard? Or are you going to run to mummy and daddy saying that the Greyback boy has a girlfriend before I do? Bugger off. He’s more of a gentleman and a kind soul than you’ll ever be,” Lillah started. “How about you learn about someone, and gain some manners, before you say stuff about them that aren’t even true!” Her words hissed through her enraged lips. Those very lips that had just been lit on fire from the contact from Odin not twenty minutes beforehand, had sizzled with anger and frustration with ignorant boys whose fathers had probably had jobs under Harry Potter. She put her wand way when Odin wrapped his arm around her and pulled her to him. Lillah turned to face the same direction. “People like him really irk me,” she said. Lillah shivered slightly and the chains on her pants clashed against the metal railing that prevented her from falling off. Lillah had always teased the dress code, preferring a punk-goth style over the schoolgirl uniform. She had it of course, to appease the teachers that gave her warnings. Most teachers didn’t have a problem; just some of them were too stuck up to think about the changing times. Lillah glanced at Odin again. “What are you going to do if they don’t back down?”
