Lily Clarke

Description
Lily Clarke is a young adult living in Los Santos. She is often described as loud, fun loving and friendly if not quite the troublemaker. She often wears feminine colours and clothing, sometimes provocative, and has a certain affinity for pink and white.

She appears to have long platinum blonde hair, blue eyes and wears rather minimum makeup. She also has recently acquired a Chinese dragon tattoo that spans the width of her rightmost leg. Despite being Scottish she doesn't appear to have much of an accent when she speaks, and she puts this down to too much American influence when she was younger, such as TV shows and movies.

Backstory
Lily Clarke grew up in Glasgow, Scotland. She worked hard throughout school and was often seen as a bright and bubbly pupil. Following her interest in Literacy and English poetry, she excelled in her studies of her language and attended college and eventually graduated university with a degree in English Literature. Her parents, knowing she was becoming frustrated with the monotony of her home town, gifted her with the tickets to fly to the city of up and comers, Los Santos. This was an opportunity of a lifetime and she couldn't turn it down.

On the day of her graduation, her bags were packed and she waved goodbye to her parents at the airport. Stepping into the plane, she had no idea her life was about to change.

Stepping into the warmth of the Los Santos air, she was riveted with ideas of what her new life was to be like. Suffice to say, it didn't start so idealistically. In the airport, she was robbed when getting into what she thought was taxi. Thankfully, a man who had been selling the locals some weed on the sly saw her moment of need and rushed to aid her. He gave the man a swift sucker punch and retrieved a shaken Lily's belongings for her, introducing himself as Lloyd. He was a weed dealer selling out of the Pink Cage motel, who seemed to be moderately well versed in the city's goings on.

Once he set her up with a room in the Von Crastenburg, they hopped into his car and made their way to what she now knew was Grove Street, where the Eastside Ballers resided. She was immediately introduced to a wide array of characters. Mykel Marlee, the owner of the Munchies truck, showed her some kindness with a free welcome meal and she felt quite at home rather quick. There were a few other n'er-do-wells, but the only ones that really stuck with her pulled up not long after. Shining in a luxurious viridian, a trio of cars pulled up to the Gas Station and out came a gathering of well-dressed men. A gruff London accent followed The Family leader Ronnie White, who was quick to introduce himself and welcome her to the city. Along with him came some of his guards, though if you asked her now she couldn't place who. She was rather enraptured by the supposedly charismatic man that had rolled up in style, something she was unused to. He passed her his number and left soon after. When driving away, Lloyd prodded fun at her by saying she'd spent less than a day in the city and was already mixing with the big names, before explaining the hierarchy of the city and the different gang names. Wine Company, The Firm, and The Family. She was honestly intimidated when he persisted that he was one of the top dogs. She felt somewhat out of her depth, for a while.

Lily's days grew more adventurous, allowed to drive the company cars and making friends with the boys in the Family, namely Sean Flynn and Taylor Warren, who was more commonly known as Swifty. The boys took Lily along on their misadventures for a few days and she felt quite at home, offered protection from the other men in the city with a simple name drop. It seemed everyone but her knew that Mr. White and herself had an entanglement, but it didn't prove too false. They cared for each other and there was a mutual degree of respect, and they were known to flirt with each other.

However this fell short when he began to get jealous along with gang tensions. She was making better friends with the Ballers down in Grove whilst also networking and making friends with other gangs. Mr. White became insecure with how much he could trust her, and kept her at arms length. She became bolder and started to partake in illegal activities such as drug selling, bank robbery and Vangelico heists along with her newfound friends Swifty, Toby, Jimophy as well as Mr. UwwU, an eccentric Asian gent who rolled into Los Santos with pre-established connections through family. He had big plans for the friendship group.

With Bahama Mama's under UwwU's ownership, Mr. White became increasingly distant. He told Lily that he was letting UwwU have the club for the time being and was willing to swipe it from beneath him when the time was right. She had become tired of The Family's antics, being told that the boys within the family were warned to abandon their friendships with her because she was trouble. Much preferring the name she was making for herself, she had enough and so had Swifty and Toby. The straw that broke the camel's back was the opening night of Bahama Mama's, when a fire broke out that was a supposed accident. Lily had seen the fire start in the D.J booth, as had multiple others, where Ronnie was standing. Convinced it was arson, Toby and Swifty left the family due to the psychotic nature of Ronnie's actions, and things grew grim. Receiving a phone call for his final pay check, Toby with Lily to accompany him drove to the Family Ranch under the false impression that the waters were tepid.. until guns were shot and zip ties landed upon her wrists.

Swifty and Jimophy knew where they had went.. and that they didn't come back. From this, a full on war broke out between two sides, and Lily distanced herself from the stress it was causing her.

Since then, Lily has been on a journey of self discovery and mayhem equally, creating closer connections with other gangs and making friends every day. She grew closer to her original cast of friends, often a pea in a pod situation with Swifty who she sees like her sibling, a big brother to rely on for protection and equal laughter as they get each other's humour well. A special mention and someone she openly keeps close to her heart is Danny Fingers, the old man who works with the Ballers and keeps them thriving. They have a mutual bond of a father daughter relationship and he often keeps her out of trouble and on the right path, whilst also letting her be her unapologetic self and supporting her choices as an adult. This is where her story continues, and will be etched into every car she crashes into or every robbery she (definitely does) doesn't get caught in.
