PERSONALITY :　
At first glance, people tend to think she's a and either approach her with an attitude or ignore her. It didn't help that everyone knew who Jessi was and her reputation with her temper. She also can seem a bit distant and antisocial but that's onl;y to people she just met. The more formal she is with you the more awkward she feels around you for whatever reason. The truth is, Lily has moments when she can be a but she honestly doesn't care. Much like her sister, she says what she's gonna say, how she's gonna say it and when she's gonna say it. And she tends to say it a lot, not really caring if she'll get in trouble for it later. Underneath all of that though is a very caring and understanding otaku Potterhead who loves chocolate, bubble tea and coffee. She is very attentive to her friends and her members. She's always quick to lend a hand, offer a shoulder or just listen if someone has a problem. However as one of the oldest she and the "fossil" line tend to be looked at as the leaders. As such, she has a tendency of keeping things to herself even when she's having a hard time since she doesn't want them to think she's weak.

She has obessive tendencies, usually seen in her love of Harry Potter and anime. It can also be seen in her love of chocolate and musicals. She's also a perfectionist and as such tends to spend hours in the studio or recording studio for hours after everyone else has gone home to keep practicing, especially if she feels she's falling behind. This girl is nothing short of weird. All her life she has had moments where she'll become obsessed with something and it'll take over her life. It started with Harry Potter, then moved to anime and then when she was 10 years old, she was introduced to her very first kpop song. Ever since, she has loved kpop through and through and has made several close friends because of it.  She loves to dance and party and joke around with her friends, family and band members. The only place she truly feels happy is on the stage. 
She is very protective of the people she cares about and won't let anyone hurt them without consequences. Growing up in the Bronx, she developed a lot of slang words and can appear to be ganster-ish or thug-ish. However this is just an outward facade because the truth is she can be very cute when he wants to be (and sometimes even when she doesn't want to be).

BACKGROUND :　Jalisa was born in New York, New York and is the youngest of four children. She was only 10 when her older sister Jessi moved to South Korea. Jalisa and Jessi had the best relationship out of her siblings and even her family. So when she was 15 she asked her parents if she could move in with her sister, however all three of them refused. They said that she had to finish school first. So, she buckled down and focused on school and after graduating from high school, her parents let her go to South Korea. Her relationship with her sister was immediately rekindled and they had lots of fun together. However, after Jessi's original debut, they struggled a bit. This has led to her having a bit of a boyish personality as she got older. Many people;e say that she acts more like a guy than a girl as well. Her family moved to Japan for two years due to her mother's job transferring her. Then she got really sick and had to quit her job. At this time, her father decided it was be best if they all moved to Korea. So when she was 14, they all moved to Busan. Being a HUGE kpop fan, a few months after moving she set out to audition at various companies only to be turned down. Eventually she was accepted into Top Media, where she quickly became friends with L.Joe and Changjo. However, she was only there for a year before they transferred her to JYP ENT without telling her. This is where she met Jackson whom she immediately clicked with, and JB. Even though she left JYP after two years, she never lost contact with them. Finally she auditioned for NBS and was immediately accepted and trained, totaling her training period to be four years and two months.

Jalisa as born on January 6, 1991 at 22:16 in Brooklyn, New York. Her mother had gone to visit a friend when she went into labor prematurely. After a week, they were transferred to a hospital in the Bronx, where Lily's family had been visiting with her relatives. Being the youngest of four children, Lily was automatically spoiled but her parents helped her remain humble. Her father had her working and reading from a young age and by the time she was three years old, Lily was starting school. Her parents sent her to a private school where she skipped second grade and tested into a gifted and talented program. This was also when her interest in dance first surfaced and she became a part of her school's dance and step team as well as it's theater group until she graduated in fifth grade. She grew an intense (some might even say obsessive) love for musicals, anime and Harry Potter. She spent her middle school days living with her paternal grandparents in Busan, South Korea and as such she originally spoke Korean in the Busan dialect. She also spent every summer in Japan with some friends. She ended up spending the first 3 years of high school in Japan, and ended up gaining popularity after a friend uploaded a video of her singing and dancing. All three years she spent in Japan was spent being a Jpop idol while attending high school. It was here that she used her Japanese name Yuri and was scouted by both SM and JYP. However, after hearing what happened to her sister at SM, she went with JYP and trained there instead.

Lily isn't as close to them as she is with Jessi but they have a good relationship. Since they didn't get to see her often, they would often send her money or gifts to make up for it. Most of that money, Lily has saved up in a bank account so that she could eventually live on her own.

Out of everyone in her family, Jalisa and Jessi are the closest. They do practically everything together and always try to spend as much time together as possible. Even if they can't see each other because of their schedules they are always texting or FaceTiming.

She met Eric through being a guest MC on ASC. Amber through being a choreographer for SM a few times. Shownu and JB from when she trained at JYP, and Sungkyung when they happened to attend the same fashion show. Because they all have different schedules they don't get to hang out as often as they would like to but they do hang out every once in a while and keep in contact often. Aille she met through her sister and probably hangs out with her the most, besides Amber and Eric.

▸ friends — Dominique and Daniel Kwon (22) / former members of GENUINE / varies / 20
They lived in the same neighborhood for a while and ended up being in the underground scene together for a while. Lily treats them like the younger siblings she never had and is still very protective of them.

▸ labelmates — Varies / idols & trainees / varies / varies
At first they avoided her because they said she gave off a scary aura and thought she would be hard to approach. It took them some time but eventuall they all opened up to her and aren't afraid of her anymore. There are some she's closer to, like the dancers and rappers but since she has experience in different fields, and being one of the oldest, all the members tend to go to her for advice.
