BELARUS from AXIS POWERS HETALIA

Lily loves her job at the local elementary school. To be specific, Lily teaches fifth grade. She loves her kids to death and wants nothing but to teach them all day, but she knows most of her students don't exactly enjoy being in class and listening to her talk all the time there. There are always those types of students. But they're all cute and they're all innocent. And they all stumble on her last name, which is just about expected now. And yes, she lets her students abbreviate it.

Surprisingly enough, the pay is really good (apparently there's a misconception that teachers don't get paid very well). Even so, she's horrible at saving up. Her salary does put her in middle class, but she's independent enough from her parents that she can no longer be considered part of the rich businessman, high class society she had been in since birth.

Her dad occasionally worries about her - in fact, his worry was the whole reason she currently lives in a house. When she relocated back to Los Angeles after school, she was perfectly content to live in an apartment by herself, because there was no way that she was going to live with her parents for the rest of her life even if they were financially stable. Not to say she doesn't visit her parents.

Her house is small, one-floor because she would have refused anything more expensive. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen area with a dining area connected to it, and living space, it's functional and that's what matters. She uses one bedroom (the master bedroom) for herself and the other is for guests should they ever want to stay in her shoddy little house. Her bathroom has a little shower and a bathtub that she rarely ever uses. The kitchen is small with a counter and common kitchen appliances, and on the other side of the counter is the dining area which is really just a table with a couple of chairs. The living area has a TV and a couch, which she sometimes falls asleep on when she's watching movies.

hair. Probably the most striking of Lily's features is her hair. It's platinum blond, bordering on white. Well, at least she doesn't have to worry too much about gray hairs, even if she's starting to get a bit older now. She tries to keep it straight most days, and for the most part it stays that way.

eyes. She has blue eyes, which is (fortunately!) her favorite color. She usually tries to bring out her eyes in contrast to other features, but blue on pale skin and blond hair isn't exactly hard to see. She's still very generous about the makeup applied around the area of her eyes.

height. Standing at 5'6”, Lily's aware she's not the tallest person around, but at least she isn't the shortest, right? She's just a bit taller than a lot of the women she knows, but usually she's just about average height. Actually she's average height among most men she knew.

weight. Proportionally Lily is healthy, at a good 130lbs, but sometimes she can't help but think that perhaps she is a little bit overweight. She isn't, of course, she could afford another ten or so pounds, but she wants to go back to those days of being skinny (well, she already was but she was still self conscious about it, especially when her kids make jabs at her insecurities).

style. She takes her clothing choice very seriously. Lily is mostly a fan of skirts and dresses, although usually she sticks to dresses. Rarely does she ever wear pants or shorts, although her closet does contain one or two. She's also a fan of stockings, though she only ever wears them with skirts, and sometimes she feel a little awkward wearing that to school but… well, she likes wearing them.

considerate. Lily is someone who would much rather make someone else happy than herself. She cares so very much about those around her, and she'd much rather them be happy than herself - because if they're happy, she's happy. Which is perhaps why she's so easy on the kids (which isn't necessarily a good thing), because a happy kid is a happy Lily. In the end, when her friends or family or close acquaintance (pretty much everyone) is sad, she starts to feel sad and guilty and responsible. Although because of this, she's been called a doormat and a pushover.

forgiving. Superfluous and unneeded apologies are frequent with Lily - she apologizes for every little thing she does wrong. It's not unheard of for her to have annoyed someone through this - even she sometimes admit that she overdoes it. But she means it, every time. She's sorry for whatever little thing she's done and will probably try to make it up in some way, shape, or form.

impractical. Lily lives in a more idealized world than someone her age should. She still wishes for a happy ending and a comfortable, idyllic life. And true love. And children. Although she's happy with her students, she wants one of her own. She'd probably be adopting, either way, since she isn't in a position to conceive one. Though she wants one very much. Pretty much she wants a lot of things that reality can't offer (okay so she wants to dress up in pretty dresses everyday, is that so bad?)

affectionate. Lily is the type of person who, given a certain person, would bathe people in love and caring and general affection. She practically reminds them at every given occasion she can that they're amazing and awesome and they're a great person, generalities such as that. She just refuses to let people forget to value themselves (she constantly does this with her students too), because before they're able to appreciate another human being, they had to appreciate themselves. And everyone should appreciate themselves.

meek. When Lily's not teaching her students or out with friends, she's quiet. She doesn't really force herself onto people in a big spectacle (not that she does it in any other situation). When people get to know her, past all the happiness and the affection, she retains those traits but she's less overbearing about it. In fact, she takes a more submissive role, being quiet, patient, pretty much ready to manipulate. She'll go along with pretty much anything, actually, so long as it's within reason.

indulgent. There are a lot of things that Lily takes pleasure in, and she'll be lying if she didn't admit that she quite often indulged herself on them. She has little willpower, if any, to resist anything. She has a craving for chocolate? Oh what about that diet? Oh, it just doesn't exist anymore while she enjoyed the delicious chocolatey goodness. It also goes to say she's very lenient with the kids she teaches. There are lots of movie days. She's pleased because she picks the movies they watch. Rest assured, they're kid appropriate. Who doesn't like Home Alone?

sensitive. Lily has always been called out for being overly emotional and crying over the littlest things. Even though she's improved much from her childhood years, she still can't quite keep a cap on her emotions. She's aware she should be a little more composed and in control especially as a role model for her students, but sometimes she simply can't help it. When the waterworks come, they simply don't stop.

A child by the name of Lilian Voiculescu (who would curse her last name after time passed and she understood the gravity of the situation that is having a hard to pronounce surname) was born in early June to two very happy parents. Her brother, however, was none too pleased to have a girl born into the family as he had wanted a younger brother to play with. Especially with how much of a girly girl Lily did become.

Lily was a crying baby. A lot of babies were crying babies, but she never really did get out of her crying phase until late into her childhood. As a little girl, Lily had always been needy. Her parents now often liked to tell her how spoiled (of which she wasn't) she was and how much she stole away the attention from her brother, and she would always deny it. She had just been a kid, kids always wanted a lot of things, and she was that kid, the girl in pink tutu and tiara. Literally a bat of her eye and her parents (usually her dad) would be putty under her finger.

Lily never used it to full opportunity. Although she did indulge on many pleasures in her childhood, these were alway monitored to be in moderation by her parents. She did have a particularly happy childhood with barely any complications at all. And maybe she might have, once upon a time, acted like a spoiled brat to get what she wanted. Throughout the years she did start to mature and realize that her parents couldn't get her everything she ever wanted. She also started to realize just how lucky she was that her parents made an effort to be a part of her life.

She was enrolled into school, and for the most part, life was simple. She tried to play a lot with her brother and his friends (her brother pushed her away and she cried), and then when that didn't work she made friends of her own - she also cried to her father about it and got her brother in trouble but that was a little detail. She cried when she got in trouble (she always insisted that it was the other party's fault even when it was herself hogging all the crayons), and she played around with her friends with the biggest smile on her face.

Despite it all, no one would really call Lily spoiled in her family - she was more or less happy with what she had and wanted no more than that. Okay, so the occasional dress or two she indulged on, and she always loved Halloween because she could dress up as a pretty princess, or something of that similar spectrum. She liked getting hand-me-downs from her brother most of the time, though. His clothes were surprisingly comfortable despite not being a dress (well, they were long enough to go past her knees, did that count?), but she didn't make a habit of wearing them in public or anything.

She also had a habit of stealing her brother's jackets because they were a great deal warmer than her own. Even though her parents insisted on buying her her own jacket, she refused as she considered it a long-time tradition (not really long-time so as convenient) to steal clothes from her brother. She supposed in that kind of way her brother spoiled her a lot. Even to this day she steals her brother's clothes (mostly jackets, she doesn't really find skirts and dresses at his place).

She'd say they were close, during her elementary years. He was two years older than her and she often idolized him to be this perfect brotherly figure even though he wasn't really. He often ignored her at school, claiming that she was too childish and uncool to be near him and his friends (she was plenty cool to her classmates, though!), at home he'd always apologize if he was mean ("If someone's mean to you tell me, okay?").

Maybe her brother got into a lot of trouble for picking on people in her grade. She kind of felt bad, because she knew she was the one telling him of all her troubles at school ("that boy stole my colored pencils!"), but at the same time she was glad to have such a caring older brother.

Middle school was vicious. She had always thought that high school was the one full of gossip and scandal and the such, but little middle schoolers were mean and she found out she didn't quite fit into the stereotype - Lily could not, for the life of her, speak bad of another person. She'd listen to rumours, but it always usually left a bad taste in her mouth. The most anyone ever talked of her was that crush she allegedly had of which she called lies and slander, and how her brother was apparently very attractive (ick!), and sometimes her family's money.

It was at this point she stopped crying except when at home, usually despairing over a bad grade or two. She was also trying to decide what she wanted to be when she grew up, who exactly was her best friend, and why she didn't have any crushes on any guys. High school was all the more confusing when all her friends got into relationships and she found herself admiring senior girls for some unfathomable reason. Her friends often liked to set her up with some nice boys, and they were nice.

Just not for her. Believe her, she tried to get to know them and gave them the benefit of the doubt. She made friends with them, but they always remained friends despite trying, on both sides, to progress their relationship further. No offense to any of the guys, she just didn't feel like she'd like any of them romantically, was that so wrong of her?

She really came to terms with her interest in the female gender nearing junior year. It wasn't really a dramatic thing, there was no screaming nor internal conflict about how wrong it was to like women. It was more or less just an 'oh' thing, a shrugging of shoulders before moving on to whatever homework she had to do at that very moment. She decided not to tell anyone because no one asked, and no one particularly yelled out to the world that they were straight - so why in the world would she yell out to the world she was lesbian like some crazed maniac spewing out random information about themselves?

Plus, the only person she really cared to tell was off in college and she didn't really remember to tell him when he was visiting (of course she'd forget, of all things). She lived simply as though nothing were the matter, because nothing was the matter. She graduated high school, not quite top of the class but she had tried and that was what counted, right? Plus, Lily had finally figured out what she wanted to do. No, she hadn't found anything she particularly excelled at, but she wanted to make a difference in a child's life.

So she went to college with this in mind. She was a little far from her parents, as she had gotten into a college up north (although she loved California too much to leave it, plus her brother was close by) and didn't plan on visiting every weekend. Lily immediately enrolled into a four-year bachelor degree program for teaching, determined that this was what she wanted to do and this was how to do it.

And then she fell, she fell hard for another one of her classmates. She had really given up hope before anything started, but this girl was bold, daring, and the initiator. They had coffee, they went to the movies, and anyone could mistake them for friends. And then somehow they fell into bed with each other and Lily found herself timidly introducing her to her parents and in turn coming out. They were a little taken off guard, but she didn't really expect them to be as understanding as they were. That, or they just didn't understand that their daughter was serious.

Her brother, on the other hand, didn't take it as well as Lily had hoped. They were still close - though Lily couldn't help but feel as though he wasn't so accepting of her as he once was. But after a while Lily just accepted it, as she had with her own sexuality, and went on with her life. Eventually the relationship crumbled apart with her girlfriend and they decided to separate. Despite Lily's effort to maintain their friendship, both of them had been caught up with their own work that they barely saw each other and rarely ever spoke.

She completed her program, and once she started student teaching, well, Lily determined that this was exactly what she wanted to do with her life. For the rest of her pursuit of her career, she worked and hardly ever played, focused exactly on what she was doing. Sure, she had a couple of flings here and there, but nothing really noteworthy nor made a lasting impression on her. She was too busy anyhow, trying to become the best teacher she could possibly be.

Two years later at the age of twenty-four, Lily had taken her final CSET (horrible series of tests that nearly had her quit) and finally achieved her goal of becoming a teacher - all that was left was settling down and finding a teaching job. It was easier said than done, and she relocated back to Los Angeles. It was, for the most part, living with her parents and trying to survive at a day-by-day basis for the next year as they kept trying to set her up with men of her age that just to happen to be some heir to some big business that would do well in the merging of. Not only was it for the benefit of her dad's company, but she also suspected it had to do with her somewhat unconventional way of coming out, or coming out at all. They just didn't understand and Lily didn't want to push her beliefs on them.

So as soon as she found a job at the local elementary school, she moved out of her family home and into an apartment. And then her father just insisted on a house, so she lived in the small home from there on out. Lily's been happy with her job, her life, everything really. So she gets forced in social situations thanks to her dad sometimes (everytime she vows she'll say no, but she gets roped in somehow), but it's not so bad. She lives apart from her family and only sees her parents on occasion, as well as her brother.

Her kids are pretty much her everything now, despite getting a new set each year. She loves them to bits and she has no doubt that she'll be in this job for the rest of her life.
