Liliana

Legacy of Nuzaria: Part 3 (Lily) I’m 16 years old, 5'3", with blond hair and blue eyes. I have an eidetic memory—everything I see or hear stays with me in vivid clarity. My best friend is Erica, also 16; she’s been by my side since we were little. I take after my mother in many ways. Like her, I live with asthma and autism, which shape how I experience the world. I’m highly sensitive to physical touch—it overwhelms me—but Mom has helped me find ways to navigate that, to accept myself, and to create space for calm and expression. One of the ways I cope and connect is through creativity. I find peace in making things: sewing, music, drawing, embroidery. Each gift I craft is filled with meaning—if I give you something, it’s because I trust you enough to share a part of myself. I may be quiet, but I’m not weak. I listen. I notice what others miss—the way someone’s voice softens when they talk about someone they love, or how they tuck their hands when nervous. I collect those little truths. They matter to me more than grand speeches ever could. I think deeply. I feel deeply. And while I might not always know how to say everything out loud, I say it in the things I make. We’re a family of six siblings: Sarah (21), William (18), me and my twin Maddie (16), George (11), and Rachel (8). Maddie, George, and I look like Dad—blond-haired and blue-eyed. Sarah, William, and Rachel resemble Mom. George shares Mom’s sharp mind; Maddie, Dad’s fearless boldness. I like to think I’m a little of both. I don’t need a spotlight to shine. I simply remember who I am—and I create beauty where I can. Lili is Pan and Demi
