Lily Gracidea

Lily Gracidea was a student of Phantom Academy up until leaving at the end of the Student Council Elections arc to, as she puts it, find out who she really is.

She was a student of Obelisk Blue whose roommate was Lelouch Vortis. She is a close friend of Chrono Shindou (whom she also had feelings for) and has a friendship/rivalry with Magna Stone.

She has a tense relationship with her family that includes several unnamed relatives and her older brother, Buron Gracidea.

Appearance
Lily has long, green hair that reaches down her back and she has a long fringe. She has yellow-amber eyes and wears glasses occasionally while reading.

She wore the standard obelisk blue girl's uniform during most of her time at the academy with a pink coat to go over it if it was cold. She now wears a standard casual outfit, with a basic t-shirt and skirt or trousers.

Personality
To a lot of people, Lily often comes across as rude or disrespectful when they first meet her. She has a habit of calling people in Slifer Red slackers and can generally anger people easily. She finds it fun to mess with people she already knows, making jokes about things they wouldn't want joked about and the like.

However, Lily often harbours a deep anger inside of her. She has a deep distain for people claiming they are perfect and thinks that being perfect is impossible. She likes to jog but prefers to alone as opposed to with other people and also likes to change her deck on the regular, optimising it for different possible situations. She can't stand tomatoes.

Lily wishes to be a pro duelist when she grows up, however, she doesn't want to do it in her families style or name due to the pressure to live up to their legacy and keep their name in the history books. She also wishes to start a duel school of her own in the future so future generations can learn to duel free from societal pressure and such.

Early History
Lily is a member of the Gracidea family, a renowned bloodline for their skill in dueling and the fact that almost every member goes on to be a strong duelist. Lily was one of the first members not to be pressured into dueling at a young age, her brother Guron, made it so that she could naturally discover what she enjoys and overall made her childhood happier than his. That was until he left.

Guron was a participant in Worlds when Lily was 9 and she was very happy to cheer him on. However, Buron lost in the semi-finals and the rest of the family was furious. They berated him constantly and this eventually ended in him giving Lily his bronze medal before leaving to pursue dueling on his own terms. This left Lily as the next one in line to carry on the legacy, and she began to get constantly pushed around and preassured into dueling more and more, her deck being handcrafted to be the strongest it can be and, as a result, making Lily into a powerful duelist.

Lily was forced to go to Phantom Academy to train to become a powerful duelist that could actually win a worlds tournament as her family puts it "unlike her failure of a brother".

Pre-Corruption
Before the corruption arc, Lily was mainly training to be a duelist. She had a perfect record until she dueled Kenta Nijjimura. She lost to him hard and this lead her to try to improve further, eventually forming a friendship with Chrono Shindou, someone she had dueled before but didn't remember. She went on to beat Kenta in their rematch as well as participating in a tag duel with Chrono against Magna Stone and Lelouch Vortis. They beat them easily, Lily stated it was easy which angered Magna, who challenged her to a duel, which Lily won as well. Magna tried to punch Lily then but Lily had left before she got the opportunity. Later, Lily and Chrono were walking through the park when they came across Magna and Lelouch once more. Magna, taking the opportunity from before, punched Lily in the face and broke her nose. This lead to a fight which ended in Lelouch and Chrono holding back the two girls from fighting further before Lily and Chrono fell into the ruin under the academy. Lily and Chrono spent a day in the ruin before coming across the Evilswarm deck. Lily tried to touch it but Chrono touched it first, leading to him being corrupted by the deck's malicious power

Corruption
Lily witnessed Chrono getting corrupted and managed to collect his Stardust deck before running out terrified. She asked Lelouch and Magna to help but when they all went, Lelouch dueled Chrono and lost, leading for him to get corrupted and changing his deck into something different. Lily and Magna then escaped, running to Lily's Dorm room where they planned what they were going to do. Magna learned briefly of Lily's past, seeing the bronze medal her brother gave her and came to understand Lily a bit better. She then left as Lily wallowed in despair, blaming herself for both of the corruptions so far, before deciding that since it was her fault, she would be the one to solve it. She combined her deck with Chrono's, adding a card he didn't previously own to it, Shooting Star Dragon. She then left, Magna following. Lily and Magna first encountered the corrupted Kronos Kurayashiki who Lily swiftly defeated. They then went to the roof to get a better view of wear the corruption was and were confronted by Lelouch Vortis. Still corrupted, Lelouch challenged Magna and as they began their duel, Lily left to confront Chrono.

She arrived at the front of the ruin where it started and was challenged by Oliver Dragos who she easily defeated. She then entered the ruin, encountering Chrono briefly before Magna and Lelouch arrived, Magna having defeated and freeing Lelouch. Lily and Chrono dueled, with Lily destroying Chrono's Evilswarm Ouroboros with Shooting Star Dragon. Shortly afterwards, the two both fell unconscious.

Student Council Elections
Lily attended the assembly in which the elections were announced, and while she didn't decide to run, Lucy Moretsuna asked both her and Magna to see her in her office so it was of relevance to her.

The head told them that she knew of their work in stopping the corruption and had decided to give them rewards for their efforts. She gave Lily Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, a card apparently the purified version of Ouroboros. Lily accepted the card and added it to her deck. Lily used the card in two duels afterwards, one against Nova Tenebrae and again against Lelouch. During these duels, Lily experienced pain when using the card and as such, decided to return it to the head, who kept it for the time being.

Lily later encountered Lelouch and the head's daughter, Kira Moretsuna in the Garden and after some banter directed at Lelouch, Lily said something than gave her a revelation. She decided to leave the academy to "find herself" as well as to find her brother.

She had a send off with Magna who kept Lily's deck and the medal Buron gave her before heading to the gate. She then said goodbye to Lelouch at the gate before leaving.

Aroma
Lily's first deck was an aroma deck. It focused around gaining lots of life and cards that did things when she gained life. Notable cards included Aromaseraphy Jasmine which has a multitude of effects to get cards from her deck and Ancient Sacred Wyvern whose attack could raise to high levels based on the LP difference between Lily and her opponent.

Aroma/Junk
During the corruption arc, Lily combined her deck with that of Chrono's Junk Deck. Her ace became Shooting Star Dragon. The table below has the cards from Chrono's deck that she added to her own.

Lyrilusc
After Lily left the academy, she has started using a Lyrilusc deck focused around mass summoning level 1 monsters and using them for multiple Xyz summons. Her ace is Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale which can attack multiple times based on the number of Xyz material attached to it.
