Lily is the leader of the Resistance in NieR:Automata Ver1.1a. She has a steadfast personality and cares for her friends.
She first appears in the novella YoRHa ̶Ver. 1.05, which tells the events of the YoRHa stage play. The manga YoRHa: Pearl Harbor Descent Record also tells the events from the stage play.
Story[]
Originally, Lily became part of the Resistance under the command of Rose during the 8th Machine War that took place over 200 years before Ver1.1a. She was a lover model assigned to the unit's commanding officer who proceeded to physically abuse and assault her. After Captain Rose nearly beat the abusing officer to death, Rose's entire unit deserted from the squad.[1]
She gets infected by a logic virus, but is cured by No.21. The leftover machine code grants her the ability to create gravity wells.
In NieR:Automata, Lily (referred to as Lilly) is implied to have died during the Pearl Harbor Descent. In NieR:Automata Ver1.1a, she instead survives and takes charge of the Resistance Camp. When she first meets 2B, she mistakes her for YoRHa Number Two.

"Our commanding officer started taking her stress out on Lily. We heard her screams every night. Every single night we'd hear angry yelling and the sounds of slaps and hits. [...] And then one day Captain Rose snapped. She beat the bitch to within an inch of her life. When the captain tried to turn herself in, we stopped her, and then we deserted from the squad." - ↑ YoRHa: Pearl Harbor Descent Record Volume 2 p.52
