Weak Hero: Mini Lily Observation

Cross-posted on Wattpad/AO3 I think Lily’s an interesting character because of the mystery surrounding her. I'm sure most readers chalk up the lack of her presence to her simply not being an important character, but the authors look like they know what they’re doing.
