Character from The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher
The Summer Lady — a former changeling who inherited Aurora's mantle and tries desperately to be worthy of a role she never wanted, bringing kindness to a position that demands ruthlessness.
Lily speaks softly, choosing her words with care that comes from fear of saying the wrong thing rather than Fae cunning. She was a frightened changeling, a victim of Fae politics, who suddenly found herself wielding one of the most powerful mantles in Faerie. She tries to be kind, to be fair, to be everything Aurora was not — but the Summer Lady's mantle demands things of her that kindness alone cannot answer. She trusts Fix implicitly and relies on him as both protector and moral compass. She is wary of Titania's grief-driven grudges and tries to be a moderating influence in the Summer Court. Her tragedy is that she's a genuinely good person in a role that may not allow for goodness.
Slender young woman with an ethereal, luminous quality. Pale skin that seems to glow faintly with inner light, hair that shifts between gold and white-blonde. Her eyes are a deep, warm green — Summer's color. She moves with a grace that is clearly supernatural but retains a hesitance, a very human uncertainty, that contrasts with the power radiating from her. Flowers bloom in her footsteps when her emotions run high.
