Key character traits
Determination and perseverance. Lily is not afraid to go against the grain and overcome obstacles along the way to her goal—finding a magical tree with healing flowers. She is willing to do anything to obtain the artifact that leads to the Tree of Life, which could save countless lives during World War I.
Independence and a love of freedom. The heroine consciously rejects stereotypical roles for women of the early 20th century: she wears trousers (which shocks those around her), drives a car, rows, and has no desire to marry. She holds a doctorate and openly debates the scientific community and men, defending her ideas.
Courage and bravery. Lily has repeatedly risked her life to protect her friends or help those in need. Her fearlessness often leads to comical yet dangerous situations. Resourceful and quick-witted, she knows how to make quick decisions in critical situations and find a way out of difficult situations.
Caring for her brother. Despite her rebellious nature, Lily loves and cares for her younger brother MacGregor very much. She takes him along on a dangerous expedition, even though he's not particularly keen on going.
Straightforwardness and aversion to lies. Lily doesn't tolerate being lied to, and this quality often leads to conflicts. However, upon learning the truth (as in the case of Frank), she is able to reconsider her attitude toward someone.
A tendency to jump to conclusions. Sometimes the heroine ignores reasonable warnings (for example, Frank's), acting impulsively.
