Character profile
Lillie is a young, blonde girl with green eyes, at around the age of 11. Being first revealed as a mysterious girl who is central to the plot of Pokémon Sun and Moon, as well as Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, she assists, and is shown to live with, Professor Kukui for personal reasons. She really dislikes Pokémon battles as she does not like seeing Pokémon get hurt, instead she loves to read and is in fact a very cultured girl. At the beginning of the story, she is somewhat shy, fearful and has little self-confidence. This introverted and selfish behavior is especially true in her Japanese dialogue, using watakushi, a personal pronoun used to refer to one's self as "prim and proper."
Lillie's mother picks the outfits that Lillie gets to wear[5]. Lillie first appears with a large and round white sun hat with a pale blue ribbon tied around the scalp. Her hat has three holes on the front indicating a family sigil. She wears her long blonde hair downward, with two braids over lapping her shoulders. Lillie has a matching sleevless sundress that goes with her hat, this dress is rounded like flower petals at the bottom. each "petal" includes similar holes that are found on the front of her hat. Multiple stripes that reach from the collar down to the sides of each petal. Her dress collar is pale blue and folds over her shoulders. Underneath the dress is a pale, translucent, frilly decoration that is the same shape as the "flower" section of her dress. Lillie wears long white tube socks that end at her knees, these tube socks match her dress collar. She wears pale blue dress shoes, with the same decorative holes that her dress and hat have- three holes near the opening. Lillie brings around a giant gray drum bag throughout the game, in which she keeps Nebby inside. This drum bag has black straps, a red shoulder pad and black handles with a zipper on the front to place items, such as repels in. On each long end of the bag, there is a Poké Ball-like marking on it. This outfit of Lillie causes her to bear a resemblance to that of the Ultra Beast, Nihilego, a Pokémon that Lusamine was obsessed with. This appearance of Lillie is used as her main stock-art used for Pokémon Sun and Moon.
During the seocnd half of the game, Lillie learns to gain more self confidence and pride, causing her to change the look of her design. In Lillie's second appearance in the games, she sports her hair in a high-ponytail, with the braids tying around the base of said ponytail. Wearing an outfit that she bought on her own in Malie City[6]. she owns a white short-sleeved pullover sweatshirt that ends with rounded cuffs. The hood and drawstrings are the same pale-blue as her previous appearance. She is now wearing a pleated skirt with multiple frills and one large pale blue stripe that wraps around the skirt. Her socks match the puffiness of her sweatshirt and wrap around her shins. Now wearing more-athletic shoes than her dress shoes, Lillie's are white with blue soles. They have an opening on the front with a tongue leading up to her ankles, tied with a single strap that ends with a round button. The pale blue soles' heels are slightly raised in the back, making Lillie appear taller. Lillie wears a round pink and frilly backpack on her back. This backpack has two long pink straps that reach from the top to the bottom of the bag, wrapping around her shoulders. The backpack has a single opening on the top that's tied with a white ribbon in order to close and open it. The back also includes three white circles, resembling the family sigil found on her sundress. This outfit is often officially dubbed as "Lively Lillie" (Japanese: がんばリーリエ Good Luck Lillie) in certain promotional material, merchandise, and in the Pokémon Sun & Pokémon Moon: Super Music Collection. Lillie, herself, calls it her "Z-powered form" (Japanese: 全力の姿 full-powered form). The artwork of Lillie for Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon takes from this appearance.
Plot
Lillie is first seen attempting to flee Aether Paradise three months prior to the beginning of the player's adventure, during the opening cutscene. Just when she is surrounded, she is Teleported by a mysterious force, later revealed to be the Pokémon hiding in her bag, Cosmog, which she nicknamed Nebby. Lillie and Nebby wash up on a beach, where they are found by Professor Burnet, who listens to Lillie's story and agrees to help her learn more about Nebby. She contacts her husband, Professor Kukui, who allows her to stay with him as his assistant.
The player first meets Lillie on the Mahalo Trail, where she watches helplessly as Nebby is being attacked by a group of wild Spearow on an unstable rope bridge. Despite not yet having a Pokémon of their own, the player steps in to protect Nebby, and is in turn assisted and recognized by Tapu Koko. Afterwards, she accompanies the player back to Iki Town, where she watches them receive their first partner Pokémon, and later their Z-RingSM or Z-Power RingUSUM. Some time after that, she accompanies the player to Kukui's Lab and later provides them a tour of the Pokémon Center. After assisting the player at the Trainers' School, she visits Hau'oli City. After the player completes their first trial, Nebby escapes from her bag and runs off into Melemele Meadow, so the player must find it and return it back to her. After the player defeats Kahuna Hala, she goes to Akala Island alongside the player and Hau. Lillie is somewhat reluctant to watch the player's Pokémon battles as she hates seeing Pokémon take damage, but makes an exception. At first, Lillie acts a bit serious with the player, but gradually gains confidence.
Throughout the player's and Hau's journey on Akala Island, Lillie mostly stays at the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City, apparently to meet somebody there, and also in fear of Team Skull, who she saw lurking around the area. She also tells the player that, in her quest to learn more about Nebby, she would like to visit each of the ruins of Alola where the guardian deities live. She rejoins the player and Hau when Professor Kukui summons them to the Dimensional Research Lab, which conducts research into Pokémon coming from other dimensions and is headed by Professor Burnet. She and the Professor travel to the Ruins of Life to watch Kahuna Olivia and Hau battle; when Hau reminds the player that Faba of the Aether Foundation wants to see them, Lillie becomes nervous and insists on staying to watch the battle. Notably, she does not join the player and Hau in their tour of Aether Paradise.
The reason for this is revealed much later on, while they are on Ula'ula Island: while staying at the Aether House on Route 15, Lillie and Nebby are kidnapped by Team Skull in an operation led by Plumeria, who implies that Team Skull are not the only ones who steal Pokémon; at this, Lillie goes with them willingly and quietly, while Hau is unable to defeat Plumeria to save her. Upon informing the player about this, Gladion, a Team Skull enforcer that the player and Hau have encountered several times, who has warned them to ensure nothing happens to Nebby, barges in, having overheard the conversation. He takes them to Aether Paradise, where he claims he is certain Lillie has been brought. After raiding the facility, whose employees have now become hostile to them under the pretext that there are intruders, the player manages to enter the house and office of Lusamine, its president, where they find Lillie trying to reason with her, finding out as well that Lillie is Lusamine's daughter, and that Gladion is her brother, who had also ran away from Aether Paradise for similar reasons. Lusamine berates both Lillie and Gladion for leaving and stealing from her, after all the love she gave them, and shows no care for either of them.
Information the player finds in Aether Paradise as well as Lillie and Lusamine's conversation reveal that Nebby was actually a research experiment of the Aether Foundation in its attempt to open more Ultra Wormholes across Alola and harness the power of the Ultra Beasts; knowing that the strain of this would be fatal on Nebby, Lillie had taken it from Aether Paradise. Lusamine manages to get Nebby back, however, and forces it to open Ultra Wormholes across Alola, one of which she goes through with Guzma, the boss of Team Skull. Nebby is revealed to have evolved into Cosmoem in the process, although none of them are seemingly aware of this.
After losing her mother and seeing the state Nebby is in, she finds herself at a turning point where she realizes she has to do something and undergoes a dramatic change. She changes her outfit, calling it her "Z-powered form" (Japanese: 全力の姿 full-powered form). And determined to save both Nebby and her mother, Lillie joins the player on Poni Island and is given the Moon FluteSUS or Sun FluteMUM by Gladion. She accompanies the player throughout the island, witnessing Hapu's appointment as kahuna by Tapu Fini, retrieving the Sun FluteS or Moon FluteM from Exeggutor Island, going through Vast Poni Canyon, where she adventures alongside the player to reach the end of the canyon and even attempts her "trial" by conquering her fears while crossing a narrow bridge alone. After all the adventure through the canyon, she becomes much more confident and braver. Finally, the player and Lillie ascend the Altar of the SunneSUS or Altar of the MooneMUM where they are directed to play the Sun and Moon Flutes together. As they do so, Nebby is drawn from Lillie's bag and evolves into SolgaleoSUS or LunalaMUM, which amazes Lillie, who had never read about their relationship to each other before. At this point, her role diverges based on the game being played.
Pokémon Sun and Moon
She requests for its help to save Lusamine in Ultra Space, where she is unfazed by Guzma's claims that Lusamine is beyond reason, and goes to confront her. Despite being called ugly for leaving her and befriending the player, Lillie finally manages to stand up to her proving that she is much braver than before and facing her greatest fear, her mother. After the player defeats Lusamine, who has merged with Nihilego, she attempts to strike Lillie with one of her tentacles, but Lillie cries out to Nebby for help, who manages to separate Lusamine and Nihilego. Before losing consciousness, Lusamine asks Lillie when she started becoming more beautiful. In that moment, Lillie realizes that the mother she remembers can actually come back, her real mother.
Upon returning to Alola, Nebby indicates its desire to join and travel with Lillie and the player, Lillie gently refuses as she is not a Pokémon Trainer but she suggests it join the player instead, who it has also befriended during the story. Lillie then leaves to take care of her mother, and until the player becomes Champion she is not seen, as she is busy caring for Lusamine in Aether Paradise. She does tell Gladion, however, to tell the player that they are the "best trainer in the world". During the festivities in Iki Town, Lillie and the player quietly slip away to the Ruins of Conflict to give thanks to Tapu Koko; when they return, she tells the player that Lusamine is getting a bit better, and even wanted to join the party, and that she has been gently helping her understand what she has done. She also stops short of telling the player something seemingly important; this is revealed the next day by Hau, to be her departure for Kanto, where she plans to seek treatment for her mother and become a Trainer in her own right. She gives the player her old Poké Doll and says goodbye to them. She is not seen after this.
After Lillie has left, the player can read her diary in the loft of Professor Kukui's lab, as the lock has been pecked open by Murkrow. In it, Lillie writes that her flight from Aether Paradise had been planned ahead, with only Wicke aware of it, and that Wicke had told her to look for Professor Burnet. She is seemingly turned off at Professor Kukui's habit of going around half-naked. She also notes that Alola does not have any Gym Leaders or — at that time, toward the start of the player's journey — an Elite Four. Wicke also tells the player, upon their return to Aether Paradise, that the reason Lillie chose Kanto was to seek Bill, who, like Lusamine, has been combined with a Pokémon before, in the hopes that Lusamine would be healed of the last of Nihilego's poisons to finally come back as the good mother she was before.
Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon
Before SolgaleoUS or LunalaUM can help Lillie, an Ultra Wormhole opens up and dumps Guzma and Lusamine onto the altar, followed by Necrozma. Despite Lusamine's request for Lillie to flee, she refuses to run away and is present when Necrozma absorbs Nebby, transforming into its Dusk ManeUS or Dawn WingsUM form. When it withdraws into the Ultra Wormhole, Lillie asks the player to follow Necrozma to Ultra Megalopolis and save Nebby. Following Ultra Necrozma's defeat, she and Lusamine bring Nebby back to Aether Paradise so it can heal from its injuries.
Later on, after the player has defeated Ilima at Hau'oli Cemetery, she can be found back at Mahalo Trail with Nebby. As in Sun and Moon, Lillie suggests that Nebby can join the player in the hopes that they can calm Necrozma's fury if they encounter it again, allowing the player to capture it. After Nebby is caught, Lillie will give the player a Solganium ZUS/Lunalium ZUM, which she had found being held by Nebby.
After Team Rainbow Rocket's takeover of Aether Paradise, Lillie visits the player's house and asks for their help in saving Lusamine. She is later revealed to have become a Pokémon Trainer herself and acts as the player's partner in a Multi Battle against Faba and an Aether Foundation Employee. Throughout Episode RR, she mostly supports the player by healing their Pokémon.
After Episode RR, Lillie can be visited at Professor Kukui's laboratory on Route 1, where she will accept to join the player as a Multi Battle partner at the Battle Tree.

Cared for
- Main article: Nebby
This Cosmog, nicknamed Nebby (Japanese: ほしぐもちゃん Hoshigumo-chan) by Lillie, was a research subject of the Aether Foundation. Lillie rescued the Pokémon when she learned that the organization's experiments would eventually kill it, and thanks to its Teleport, was able to flee. Since escaping, Lillie has been taking Nebby to the ruins of the guardian deities of Alola, believing she can learn something about Nebby's true nature. Due to the circumstances, Lillie always keeps Nebby in a bag she carries around with her at all times.
Nebby evolves into Cosmoem during the events of it and Lillie's kidnapping by the Aether Foundation. It then evolves into SolgaleoSUS or LunalaMUM, and after confronting LusamineSM or NecrozmaUSUM, is left in the custody of the player.

Pokémon Evolutions
Lillie appeared in The Eclipse. She traveled to Altar of the Moone with Selene, hoping to find a way to help Nebby while recalling the events of her journey, such as seeing Nebby being attacked at Mahalo Trail and contronting Lusamine at Aether Paradise. When she played the Sun Flute alongside Selene's Moon Flute, the altar reacted to the music and caused Nebby to evolve into Lunala. Lillie pleaded Nebby to take her to her mother, but before it could do so, Lusamine and Guzma suddenly fell out of an Ultra Wormhole that had appeared above the altar, followed by Necrozma. Nebby battled against Necrozma, but wound up being absorbed by it. Seeing Nebby being taken almost caused Lillie to collapse, but Selene came to her side, encouraging to stand up as she prepared to battle Dawn Wings Necrozma.

Trivia
- Lillie shares several similarities with N. Both are characters who initially dislike Pokémon battles (but warm up to them later on), are met by the player throughout their journey, have a special connection to the game's Legendary mascot Pokémon, and are the children of the game's primary antagonist. They also both leave for a distant land at the end of the games they first appear in for personal purposes.
- Lillie's sunhat and dress makes her bear a resemblance to Nihilego, an Ultra Beast that her mother was obsessed with. With the information that Lusamine chooses the outfits Lillie gets the wear,[7] it can be assumed that Lusamine has intentionally dressed Lillie to resemble the Pokémon.
- Further more, Nihilego's Pokédex entry from Pokémon Moon states that it is seen behaving like a young girl. Furthering any written intent.
- The episode, The Homecoming Crown!, notes the similarities with a Nihilego and Lillie's anime counterpart.
