Background / History

Lily came from the Outland and lost both parents to demons. She had no surname until Sister Clabel offered her own, after which Lily became known as Lily Crabel. Her father was a priest, and Lily had inherited some literacy from him. 23 30

As a child, Lily was controlled by the Imperial City Gang and forced to beg alongside Akai and Mel Carlo. Despite her hunger, she shared a baguette with Mel while saving the remainder for Akai. 6

After Akai was selected for training by Sword Saint Eugene, Lily entered the Church under Sister Clabel. She had already believed in the Goddess of Light through her family, and Clabel became both her mentor and guardian. 30 32

Appearance

Lily is a soft-spoken gray-haired girl whose appearance and manner are described as ordinary but approachable.

• Her childhood hair was grayish-white, apparently affected by malnutrition. 3
• By her reunion with Akai, her gray hair had grown to shoulder length. 296
• Years in the convent gave her a calm, tranquil demeanor. 296
• She generally favors plain clothing, reflecting her convent upbringing even while adventuring. 648
• She keeps a grape hairpin given to her by Mel as a treasured memento. 89 253

Personality

Lily is kind, earnest, and quietly resilient. Even while living as a beggar, she worried about Akai and shared what little food she had. 6 She is also patient enough to teach Akai basic writing despite his difficulty remembering characters. 23

She struggles with insecurity over her talent and repeatedly compares herself to stronger companions. Her Level 6 magic talent and inability to become a Saintess left her feeling inadequate, but she continues seeking ways to contribute. 312 403

Lily is compassionate but not naïve about her own grief. She understands the value of peace, yet cannot forgive the demons who killed her parents, and she questions the senselessness of wars fought even among followers of the same god. 261 296

Abilities & Skills

Priest Magic

Lily specializes in healing and holy blessings. Her role is essential to her adventuring party's survival, particularly during extended battles against monsters in the Dragon Mountain Range. 656

• [Heal] — Restores injuries; Lily can also cast it on herself in an emergency. 656
• [Intermediate Heal] — A Level 30 healing skill that envelops the target in green light and heals recent injuries. 656
• [Protection Blessing] — A Level 20 defensive blessing. 656
• [Physical Attack Blessing] — A Level 5 offensive enhancement. 656
• [Guardian Blessing] — A Level 20 defensive enhancement for close-range allies. 656
• [Holy Light Guardian] and [Holy Light Shield] — Level 25 and Level 30 holy defensive skills, respectively. 656
• At Level 40, she finds it difficult to maintain multiple high-level blessings simultaneously without risking magical exhaustion. 656

Healing Under Pressure

During the academy's chimera attack, Lily continued treating the wounded even after failing to save one of them. She forced herself onward until her magic power was nearly depleted, earning respect from people who had previously looked down on her. 402 403

• Can prioritize casualties under extreme pressure.
• Uses magic potions to recover MP, though excessive depletion still leaves her dizzy and exhausted. 403
• Her healing cannot compensate for every fatal injury. 402

Magical Engineering

Lily develops a strong interest in magical engineering after recognizing the growing gap between herself and her friends. She plans to study it at the Royal Academy to create something that can compensate for her lack of direct strength. 468

• She associates magical engineering with ancient ruins, designs, and spatial-storage items. 468 648
• Her interest in ancient ruins contributes to the journey that leads to her disappearance in the Dragon Mountain Range. 648

Relationships

• Akai / Kain Eugene — Childhood friend from the Outland and later the Hero. They promised to defeat the Demon King's Army together; Lily eventually confesses that she loves him, and he reciprocates. 89 658
• Sister Clabel — Mentor, adoptive namesake, and closest Church guardian. Clabel encourages Lily to find her own future beyond the convent and later seeks help when Lily disappears. 30 89 645
• Mel Carlo — Childhood friend who shared the Imperial City streets with Lily. He gave her the grape hairpin she keeps, reunites with her years later, and leads part of the search for her in the Dragon Mountain Range. 6 89 327 645
• Felicia Darian — Former convent rival for Sister Clabel's direct discipleship. Their resentment fades after they work together to save academy victims, and they become friends. 403
• Lily's adventuring party — Her Warrior, Archer, and Ranger teammates rely on her healing and blessings; they refuse to abandon her when she is attacked by rock monsters. 656

Story Role / Major Arcs

Imperial City Beggar

Lily survives under the Imperial City Gang with Akai and Mel. The three children endure hunger, begging, and the gang's control before their lives begin to diverge. 6

Church Training and Royal Academy

Under Sister Clabel, Lily trains as a Priest but initially cannot learn [Heal] and worries that her talent is too poor. She later attends the Royal Academy, where criticism of her Level 6 talent deepens her self-doubt. 89 312

Leaving the Convent

After completing her academy studies, Lily leaves the cloister in adventurer's gear to see the world and pursue her own goals rather than remain in the Church for life. 587

Dragon Mountain Range Disappearance

While exploring ruins connected to magical engineering, Lily becomes trapped with an adventuring party inside a barrier-surrounded region of the Dragon Mountain Range. The group spends nearly a year unable to find an exit. 645 656

Lily supports the group as its Priest while they face dangerous rock monsters. Her grape hairpin later activates a teleportation effect that brings Kain to her location in time to save her from a lethal encounter. 656 657

Abduction and Transformation

Soon after reuniting with Kain and confessing her feelings, Lily is taken by the Life Apostle. The Apostle's uncontrolled power transforms Lily into a massive mound of flesh rather than killing her outright. 658 663 779

Kain continues pursuing strength and assistance for years in the hope of restoring her. 708 929

Restoration

Mel uses the aura of the [God Slayer Set] to suppress the Authority affecting Lily, while Kain and Archbishop Sissika assist with her treatment. Lily awakens weakened but restored, discovering that Kain has grown old during her long condition. 929

Trivia

• Lily's original surname was absent; “Crabel” was given to her by Sister Clabel. 30
• She was unable to become a Saintess, a role she once wanted partly so she could stand beside Akai in the Hero's party. 403
• Mel considers his feelings for Lily platonic, despite her keeping the hairpin he gave her. 660
