I definitely think Lily is going to important later, both because of the unexplained star birthmark/ brand thing and because I think it was mentioned in her casting call or something that she would be. Anyway, I was curious about Lillith in mythology, so I looked her up. In Jewish tradition, she’s the mother of all demons and eats children. More pertinent to this season’s storyline, however, she (or, in some versions, her daughter) possessed a girl through a mirror. What with the Snow Queen’s mirror-centric plan and Will Scarlet having somehow come from Wonderland, which we all know is mostly accessed through mirrors, I think, unfortunately, Lily looks like she will be playing the villain in this season. So, some thoughts:
We don’t know who Lily’s birth parents are. We also don’t know why the Snow Queen wants a family so bad. Could these two things be connected; as in, could the Snow Queen be Lily’s birth mother? They sure don’t look much alike… We also haven’t seen the Sorcerer (the original owner of the star-hat) yet. Could he have something to do with Lily?
