Lilian Mackenzie

Lilian “Lily” Mackenzie is a character role-played by KelsKatz.

Family
Lilian, better known as Lily, is the adopted (official paperwork pending) daughter of Huckleberry “Huck” Guthrie. She has discovered Frederick “Fred” Bodini to be her blood related half-brother, sharing a mother. Lily was once married to Kaleb Rush but since the marriage was never officially binding in the eyes of the state, her legal name easily stayed the same after the divorce.

Her full name is Lilian Tyler Mackenzie-Guthrie.

Background
Lilian Mackenzie is a young woman who grew up all across Los Santos, from small and cramped apartments on the southside to the suburban oasis of Mirror Park. She was abandoned at an orphanage at a young age, which she thinks was about three or four years old. Lily often refers to the orphanage as "useless" as they couldn't seem to ever place her in a solid family home and kept placing her in multiple foster homes throughout her life instead.

3.0 Forward
Lily and Nico's relationship blossomed at the end of 2.0. Lily managed to convince Nico to take a 23andMe DNA test with her, which led him to discover he is of half German decent. After winning a BMX tournament not long after this discovery, she suggested he used his prize money to take a trip to Germany. Conveniently, the city would need to be evacuated for a couple days at the time. Of course, time spent outside of the state of San Andreas moves at a different rate, so the new couple ended up backpacking through Europe for three months and ending up in Germany where they stayed for a week. When returning to Los Santos the two were split up due to a seating error for the flight home. Lily is commonly seen wearing a denim jacket with fleece lining that she had bought in Germany.

Business Only
Lily worked hard over the course of a couple months outlining and writing up a business proposal for the flower shop that she had hoped to open on the south side. She even bought a dress to work there in to give herself a more professional look. At the same time she was helping Nico and the boys with the skate park, until it all came to fruition and the park was officially owned by them. The group celebrated afterwards at Rooster's Rest with a round of shots after enjoying a great meal.

Since then Lily has been advising for the shop on the side, and unfortunately put the flower shop on the backburner after feeling unmotivated.

The Lizard People
When arriving back to the city Lily had been trying to locate her father Huck for some time. She finally saw a tweet sent out from him that he was looking for his daughter "Libby" and she went out to search.

Somehow the first group of people she came across knew exactly where Huck was and led her straight to him. Lily found her father stripped down to his underwear and rambling about how all his belongings were gone and just generally acting stranger than normal.

Over some time, Huck came out with some news about "Lizard People." He explained to Lily that they walk among them and they could be anywhere or anyone, and she should keep a sharp eye on everyone she is in contact with. Huck believed the HOA to be trying to kill him and claimed they have stolen other member's identities, among other Lizard People conspiracies. Of course, Lily being a sponge for this sort of thing, she played into it 100% and easily was convinced Lizard People are real.

Weeks pass and only more evidence was obtained for their studies. Huck and Lily along with a few others worked toward a common cause of finding the Lizard Den and taking them out once and for all.

Some of the info gathered were things like:
 * Burger Shot - Possible den, workers are lizards
 * Vanilla Unicorn Strip Club - Possible den, radio signals coming from inside messing with eyes, ears, speech
 * HOA - Possible lizards, tested many members
 * Authoritative figures in the city are lizards
 * Prime suspect - Andi Jones, mayor of Los Santos herself

The father-daughter team conducted many experiments and interrogations, started wearing protective headgear, and looked all over the state for clues of where the den could be located.

Lily's Disappearance
One day after spending countless days inside playing Minecraft obsessively, Lily decided to go to the Skate Park unannounced to surprise Nico with a gift. Upon her arrival to the park she heard a strange buzzing noise that sounded like an untuned radio mixed with electronical interference that seemingly had no source. She walked around the park cautiously, looking for where the noise was coming from and decided to call Nico. She told him something strange was happening at the park and to please hurry. Suddenly everything went dark.

Nico arrived quickly and noticed the buzzing as well, as it hadn't stopped. Sheldon Jones was also with Nico and helped him investigate. The two noticed the sound was louder in the middle of the park and looked all over for Lily, but instead found many scraps of paper with what seemed like gibberish written on them. Nico was confused and felt hopeless while Sheldon suggested maybe the gibberish was a code. He tried calling Lily over and over to no prevail, and only ever got as far as a pick-up but just silence on the other side. Soon he was met with coded text messages from Lily's phone as well as a sequence of numbers, 13 13 3 5 7 7 7 13 13. He tried hard to decipher what anything meant and even asked for help from others but couldn't crack the code.

Eventually Lily's phone calls him back and a loud buzzing noise is in the background. Lily is on the other side crying and begging Nico to help her. She says she's in a dark place and it's loud, she tells him she loves him for the first time ever and he is taken by surprise but returns the sentiment. The call cuts out as her cries trail off. Nico finally figures out the coded messages are a Caesar cipher, thanks to using the internet, and decodes the messages. The texts say things like "You know too much. We must stop you. We have her," and threaten his and Huck's lives, "The father is next. You are after. We are hunting. You cannot save them. You cannot save yourself. You will never find her. You will never find us." The texts had repeated multiple times as well as the code 13 13 3 5 7 7 7 13 13.

Nico calls Dexx and employs his help along with Billy Sprinkle when a ping to a location in Sandy Shores comes across his phone from Lily's. The three rush to the abandoned motel where the ping was sent to find a note also written in Caesar cipher along with Lily's GSF bandanna laying beside it on the floor near a small pool of blood. With guns drawn, Dexx  and Billy investigate the area as Nico stares at the note. Dexx notices a strange figure standing on the roof of the motel and draws attention to it. Nico believes it to be Lily although the person appears to have a reptile-like face. He inches nearer and raises his hands to show the creature he means no harm and continues to refer to them as "Lily" while Dexx and Billy keep their guns locked onto them. The group walks nearer and the creature backs away until they lose footing on the edge of the rooftop and tumble over the side. The three men run to the edge and peer over but the creature is gone. Dexx becomes adamant they should leave and ushers the group back to the car.

Bargaining with Reptiles
Seemingly multiple members of what they call "The Society" text Lily's friends and family members cryptic and ciphered messages using Lily's phone. Bunnie being the main victim of these messages, decides it's up to her to get her back.

The Society eventually gives an ultimatum; they will return their Queen to her previous life if Bunnie and co. can gather information regarding their former King's disappearance. After a while, The Society relays to Bunnie that their former King had been murdered in Liberty City by a man who has been transferred to Boilingbroke. They ask her to visit with him in prison and interrogate him.

Bunnie and Kellogg get a chance to meet with the man responsible for the murder of the Lizard King, Mason Loew. He acts as if he is now becoming the new King because of what he has done. He states he enjoys laying in the sun and being warm, claims he can eat certain things without getting sick, and makes an excuse for his skin is peeling due to poor quality fabrics used in the prison. Bunnie asks him about the King and why he killed him and he spills the beans. While begging Bunnie to not tell the lizard people where he is for fear that they will find him and kill him, Bunnie is texting Lily's phone and telling The Society member she had been speaking with exactly that. Mason attempts to give his two visitors a small Polaroid photo of a bridge through a bullet hole in the glass of the visitation room. He explains that he had found the photo on the King's person after he killed him and thought it would lead him to the rest of the group, but he hadn't been able to search for it before he was arrested. The bridge appears to be on or near Cassidy Trail on the western side of the island.

Bunnie finally relays all the information gathered from the interrogation to The Society members who are using Lily's phone. They arrange a meeting with her and send messages to many of Lily's friends and family members thanking them for taking care of their Queen before they had her and encourage them to continue to do so. The group member explains to Bunnie that the photo she received was a ceremonial spot and was important to them and their former King.

The Society have one last ceremony on the bridge with Lily as their Queen before knocking her into a drug-induced coma. They tell Bunnie she has a time limit to find her and leave her unconscious under the bridge.
