PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

Lili’s face can be quite animated: her sparking, lively blue eyes deliver the most expression, and her full lips are usually set in a cool smile of indifference. Her admitted pride is her hair: full, long, blond and wavy, she enjoys changing its style quite often and adorning it with flowers. When boredom strikes, she will play with it, looping ringlets around her finger. Due to her blond hair, Lili’s skin can sometimes appear quite pale.  She stands at an even 5'5”.

PERSONALITY

Lili at one time adored attention. That was before she ran-away from home. Now she is always looking over her shoulder and in the last three years has begun to take to morphine to dull the ache in her soul.   She excuses her behavior to herself by reasoning that she was pushed into this by her parents-- they should have foreseen the consequences. Any negative remarks she receives are simply laughed off or ignored, though they take their toll later in private. She is not impervious to harmful gossip and can find herself agonizing over a comment made in passing days later.  It can affect her performance with a patient; which also has caused her to move westward as well.

A LITTLE MORE

The Honorable Lili MacAonghais is the daughter of Colin MacAonghais, the 7th Viscount of Stormont and his wife Eliza MacAonghais the Viscountess of Stormont. She is the sister to the Duchess of Glasgow.

Eliza MacAonghais was born the last daughter of Colin MacAonghais, Viscount of Stormont and his wife Eliza MacAonghais the Viscountess of Stormont. She was born at Stormont Park in Linlithgowshire, Scotland on February 14, 1855. She is the couple's seventh child of seven, with three older brothers, as well as three older sisters, preceding her.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Resting on self-made wealth, with three healthy sons to carry on the family name, Colin MacAonghais was looking forward to a pleasant and relaxing decline into his later years. Then his wife, whispered over dinner one evening that another branch was to be added to their family tree. It was a little baby girl. With the family name guaranteed to continue through his sons, Colin was ambivalent. The trouble only started when their newest daughter Lili began walking and talking. Most of her early youth was lived as her brothers' equal, running wild and playing war. She was (and still is to some extent) obstinate. For the most part, her lackadaisical father turned a blind eye to her actions. But once her daughter reached adolescence, her mother would take no more.

With a 17 year old unwed daughter on her hands, Lili’s mother began concocting plans. Eliza wouldn't allow Lili to slide into spinsterhood unchecked. A year was spent making inquiries and arranging “chance meetings”. Finally, Eliza’s anxiety over their position in society pressed her into contacting a much older man – her husband's age, in fact. Well known in society for his recent desire to marry despite his age, it was discovered that he had been unwed his entire life. Strange indeed, considering his wealth, which would have been a tasty morsel for any young woman – but years ago, not now. However, he explained, he felt it was simply time to experience the joys of matrimony. In fact, he even seemed honored that the MacAonghais family was offering their daughter – whether she wanted to be offered was another story.

Eliza took a firm hand with both her husband and daughter. Her husband wanted his quiet life back and gave her the reins. All her brothers had little to say, preferring to step out of the way of their mother... except for Joshua, who tried to intervene, but had no success.

Lili’s head spun as she found herself in a whirlwind match with the world's oldest man. For heaven's sakes – almost her father's age! And even worse, the same name as her father's! He couldn't have been less like anything she ever dreamed of marrying – though he had a noble profile, his other features were nondescript and his whitish hairline rapidly receding. Receding hairline or not, the two were to be married, that was seven years ago, before she ran away from Scotland and made her way to America.

Where she went to train to be a nurse, working her way west.

Lili left Linlithgowshire, Scotland by a ruse.  She indicated she was going to the Eastern cities of Scotland to do some shopping for her coming wedding.  Her brother Joshua helped to plan her escape.  They left together by carriage and Lili met up with cousins of theirs and on Joshua’s parting evening she retired to her bedroom and while the family slept off the revelry of the evening before Lili walked out the front door with a suitcase, a ticket, and a purse full of coin.  She caught a streamliner out of the Port of Glasgow and has not returned to Scotland since.  It arrived in the ports of New York about two weeks later.  During the journey, she helped care for two young girls who became ill, this started her interest in nursing, along with the girl’s mother showing her how to mix herbs and what properties they could create was fascinating to her.

When they arrive in NYC the port officials quarantined her due to her exposing with the sick family and it was there she was given her first book on medicine.  Lili was completely taken in by this new world that opened up to her and feeling free for the first time in her life decided upon being released from the hospital to take up nursing.  She found a reasonable boarding home and wrote to her brother who wrote back as quickly as he could and telling her he would help.  With his support and with doing some sewing on the side she trained to become a nurse at Bellevue School for Nursing.

A few years of living in NYC came to an end just after she received her nursing certificate.  She received word that her mother and her ex-betrothed had decided to find her.  He was traveling to America.  Her brother wrote that he did marry and due to unfortunate circumstances his wife dies in child birth.  Instead of looking for another to marry their mother convinced Colin McCullum to go bring Lili back, she could care for his child.  Lili ran and has been running ever since.  Never staying in one town to long for fear he will catch up.  This way of living has taken its toll on her spiritually and mentally.
