Lily contemplates her existance next to the beach fire.
Ever since I logged onto both Vel and Lily at once, I’ve been wondering where Lily fits into my online persona which, until this point, has mostly focused on Vel. Vel, as you all have come to know and love, is a snarky, sexy, rather silly Neko, with a heavy penchant for bondage. She can domme pretty well in a session, but after having a few D/s relationships where she was the D fall apart, she’s decided that really isn’t for her. She’s generally intersted in heavy bondage, ponyplay, loves gags and armbinders, as well as leather and steel (not to the exlusion of rope, though), and loves really being stuck in bondage. (thus a real love for the Restrained Life viewer.) She loves the friends she’s made in SL, and considers them some of the most precious thing she has, real life included.
Who is Lily? What does she like?
Well, Vel’s general interests really mirror those of her human, so it would pretty well follow that Lily’s intersts would be very similar to Vel’s. However, Lily finds herself in an intersting spot; while Vel is often stuck in bondage somewhere, Lily isn’t, allowing her to run off and play when Vel can’t. Lily can also get herself stuck without worrying about keeping Vel from getting to Master. There have been a lot of things Vel has wanted to try that she hasn’t been able to, since she doesn’t want to be kept away from Master for too long. Thus, Lily’s intersts mirror Vel’s for a large degree, with the addition that she’s generally free to get herself stuck in situations Vel would be hesitant to get into.
What about personality though? While I’ve always thought of Lily as being a bit more “serious” than Vel, I’ve found that I really can’t quite pull that off. I enjoy banter, and snarking off, and Lily inherits that. Lily does feel a little more serious, but that might be because she doesn’t know as many people as Vel does. Both tend to need to get to know a group before they can open up properly, and Lily is generally around different people than Vel is.
So, I guess that really leads me to the conclusion that Lily is my play avatar. She allows Master to have a hectic, busy schedule and not worry about Vel going nuts in bondage. She’s also an outlet to experience things that are rather off limits for Vel.
One last note: If she’s not so different from Vel, why make her look so different?
Well, for one, being a Neko as somewhat of a curse within a blessing. I wouldn’t change that part of Vel’s identity for the world, but it is aweful nice to be able to wear earrings and belly pearcings again. Also, how many brunettes do you really see in SL? There are plenty of blonde bombshells, red-headed vixens, and raven-haired beauttes in Second Life, but not near enough representatives of a perfectly pretty hair color.
There’s another thing she inherited from Vel… ever seen Vel with anything other than red hair? Well, besides those wild pink hair styles she has? It’s just easier to settle on one color. I don’t have the money to buy every color of all the hairs I like. Lily does do one thing different than Vel though. Her hair tends to be shorter. 
Thoughts?
