Lily Spencer, a character in the Bloodbound series, is your character's best friend and one of your love interests. She became a vampire in Book 1, Chapter 5, after almost dying from being attacked in her apartment at the end of Chapter 4. She is first seen in Book 1, Chapter 1.

She has long braided black and purple hair with a side shave, brown eyes, and dark skin. She wears earrings, a black choker with a star, a pair of black glasses, rings, a black and purple bracelet, a black vest with a gray blue dress underneath, leather leggings and a belt. She also has a tattoo of flowers on her upper left and right arms. She has purple nail polish.

She was later turned into a vampire in Chapter 5, giving her features such as red eyes and sharp fangs.

Personality
She is a genre-savvy gamer with serious tech / computer hacking skills; she has also mentioned she has access to the dark web. She has a light sense of humor, enjoying puns and quoting movies and television shows.

Bloodbound: Origins

 * Chapter 3: Lily's Story

Your Character
She is your best friend and one of your potential love interests. She's also your roommate for the past few months, introduced by a friend of your cousin. When you were Turned into a vampire, she hugs you and comforts you as you cry over the news. She is also there to support you when things bother you.

Melanie
She is someone Lily is dating but constantly flakes on her but as of Book 1, Chapter 3, Melanie has broken up with her to get back with her ex. If you choose to purchase a fragment piece which represents her in Bloodbound: Dark Soltice, it will be shown that Melanie didn't appreciate Lily much as her girlfriend.

Adrian Raines
The two had yet to meet when you discover Lily bleeding out from a vampire attack in your shared apartment. You convince Adrian to break the rules dictated by the council. He subsequently turns her into a vampire as of Chapter 5 and places her inside the sarcophagus to make sure her transformation succeed. When Lily choose to join Clan Matsuo after Jax was made a Council Leader, he showed no ill feelings towards her and was glad that she is a great ally that he can trust and count on.

Kamilah Sayeed
Upon her turning, Kamilah takes Lily under wing and while Adrian is busy trying to get the other two votes to keep Lily alive; she trains her. It appears that she has taken a liking to her.

Jax Matsuo
After the Massacre at the Awakening Ball, Lily meets Jax in person for the first time. They both share love of the same movie Dracula and for the first time she felt happy to find people that were similar to her (turned against their wills). In Chapter 14, Lily decided Clan politics, rigid rules and elite lifestyle were not for her. She decides to part ways with Adrian, Kamilah and your character and to join Jax. In Chapter 16, Lily tells you that she plans to transfer to Jax's new Clan as she feels like she belongs there. When Jax is made as a Clan leader, she helps him a lot and cannot be more happier.

In Book 2, Lily tells you that Jax has been trying to get her to step up and become his number two, but she is unsure about the responsibility. Lily is loyal to Jax as she is loyal to Kamilah, Adrian, and Your Character. This is demonstrated in Book 2 and Book 3 where she attacked Gaius with Jax despite knowing both are overpowered and no match for him and again when Bishop tried to finish off the Clan Leaders, she called Bishop a "bastard" for attacking Jax undefended. Jax and Lily trust each other so greatly that they are willing to comfort each other when things go bad to talk about the future and have confidence with each other if something should happen to any of them.

Scholar Jameson
In Book 1, when Lily is attacked and left for dead in the apartment that she shares with you, she tells you that she doesn't know who attacked her. In Chapter 16's bonus scene, it is revealed that it was Scholar Jameson. He knew that you would persuade Adrian to Turn her and what problems it would lead with the Council, although he did not anticipate Vega failing in his power struggle against Adrian nor did he anticipate Jax being brought into the Council to replace Vega. To him and to his master Gaius, Lily was just a pawn to use in Gaius' plot to return.

In Book 2, Chapter 6, you have the premium option to kill Scholar Jameson for his betrayal of the group to Gaius. There is no indication that you or your friends realize that he was the one who had attacked Lily.

Powers and Abilities
After Turning into a vampire in Book 1, Chapter 5, Lily was able to gain vampire abilities.
 * Immortality: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he does not age. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Lily after she was transformed into a vampire in Book 1, Chapter 5.
 * Super-Strength: In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian confirms that he is strong enough to lift a car. This is proven to be true for her in Book 1, Chapter 6 when she accidentally crushes a sink with her strength.
 * Healing Factor:: Accelerated healing is an ability that vampires possess that allows them to heal from physical injuries at supernatural speeds. If a vampire uses their blood such as when Adrian was done feeding on Nicole, they can heal the bite mark as well. Thus we can assume the same can be said for Lily.
 * Heightened Senses: In Book 1, Chapter 6, Lily mentions how she can feel the slightest air currents, how she can even see the tiniest pores in Your Character's skin and can hear the water running through the pipes three stories up.
 * Expert Marksmanship: In Book 1, Chapter 15, Lily became quite good with a crossbow. In the Upstate New York Showdown, she was able to shoot a feral long distance when it attacked Your Character and take down three ferals with just one bolt at the same time. In Battle of New York, she was able to use a crossbow with great ease and take down numerous vampires who defected to Gaius Augustine's side.

Weaknesses

 * Sunlight: Sunlight is one of vampires' weaknesses. As Adrian stated, sunlight does hurt him and can prove fatal after more than thirty minutes of exposure. It's akin to hypersensitivity; overexposure causes, as Adrian describes it, an accelerated heat stroke. This same weakness can be assumed for Lily.
 * Decapitation: Dismembering or manually removing the head of a vampire will result in instant and permanent death.
 * Heart Extraction: Removing and subsequently destroying the heart of a vampire will also result in permanent death.
 * Unquenched Bloodlust: When Adrian first became a vampire, he felt the powerful thirst for blood which no amount of water can relieve. In the brief period where he resisted the urge, Adrian experienced severe discomfort whereby he eventually gave in to his instincts. It is unknown yet how long a vampire can remain thirsty or what the extent of pain is when this need is unmet. When Vampires don't consume blood for extended periods of time, they tend to give in to their instincts and attack the nearest human nearby in order to suppress their thirst. Newly turned Vampires like Lily are the ones mostly affected by this problem.
 * A Feral's Bite: A bite from a feral vampire is infectious to regular vampires because it can turn them feral too. When she was clanless, Lily was at a higher risk of going feral.

Trivia

 * She bears a resemblance to Amanita Caplan, a character from the Netflix science fiction drama Sense8 portrayed by English actress Freema Agyeman.
 * She shares the same forename as Lily Ortiz from the It Lives series.
 * She shares the same surname as Jonathan Spencer, a character from the Red Carpet Diaries series.
 * The surname Spencer is of English origin and means "steward" or "administrator".
 * She is the first Choices character to be shown with blood on them apart from a cutscene.
 * In a premium option featured in Book 1, Chapter 3, it is revealed that she is bisexual and grew up in rural Wisconsin. If the premium scene is not taken, she will mention being from Wisconsin in Book 2, Chapter 3.
 * Her father owns a tackle shop. She did not do a good job taking care of the place as evident by the newspaper headline, 'Wisconsin Town Terrorized By Hordes Of Escaped Crickets.'
 * She attended college, but it is not stated if she graduated.
 * In Book 1, Chapter 7, if your character says that she’s pessimistic about Priya, the conversation will lead to Lily admitting she has horrible flirtation skills. She once tried to flirt with a waitress and ended up setting the bar on fire in the process (full story never explained).
 * In Book 1, Chapter 2, Adrian mentions that garlic gives him a minor distaste, rather than kill him. This in turn means that it is not a real weakness for vampires as a whole and we can assume Lily, now a vampire has a similar distaste for it.
 * Upon meeting Your Character for the first time (in a flashback), Lily mentioned she likes Hawaiian pizza, Mexican beer, Irish whiskey, Thai noodles, Korean dramas, competitive video games, '80s music and people who don't let toothpaste goop all over the counter.
 * In Book 2, Chapter 8, Your Character mentioned that she plays a lot of Tomb Raider, an action and adventures video game.
 * In Book 3, Chapter 1, even though she is technically still a part of Jax Matsuo's clan, she has her own Brand: a Lotus flower.
 * If she is your love interest, she stated that it was her first time turning someone into a vampire. She also stated that she was panicking but Adrian and Kamilah helped her when she chose to turn you into a vampire.
 * In Dark Solstice, Chapter 2, she tells your group about her "curse" that leads to every single Christmas in her life being ruined. Examples include her parents being fired twice, Lily herself being fired twice, a wild turkey wrecking the place, a restaurant burning down while cooking her takeout order, her girlfriend's appendix bursting, the Christmas tree catching fire, and one case of everyone getting food poisoning. As a result, she calls herself "Lily the Holiday Slayer" which may at the same time be a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
 * In Book 3, Chapter 13, a premium scene of Never Have I Ever reveals that she was an extra in The Avengers. In one shot, she is seen running behind Loki. Your Character mentions that she already knows since Lily always pauses on the shot when they watch it.
 * Her fate in Book 3, Chapter 15, is most likely determined by whether you romantically pursued her or Jax more.
 * If she survives, she becomes a Hollywood script consultant, including working with Tommy Phelps on the film adaptation of Bloodbound.
 * If she dies, Jax moves into the apartment with you if he is your love interest and a youth centre is named after her.
 * On April 10, 2020, Pixelberry tweeted their #QuarantineHouse challenge, placing Lily in House 1 with King "Liam", Gaius Augustine, Guy Ledford, Jackie Varma, and Marc Antony.
