!Lillie
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lillie_anime.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KeiShindou
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Laurie Hymes
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Jennifer Medel
Lillie is the resident bookworm, highly knowledgeable about Pokémon from her studies, but terrified by the thought of touching them due to a deeply rooted trauma she suffered in the past. With the constant support of her friends and their Pokémon, however, she slowly but surely works to overcome her fear.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes related to Lillie]]
* NumberOneDime: She has a stuffed Clefairy doll that's always seen in her room. When going to rescue to Lusamine, she takes it along with her.
* AchillesHeel: Initially, it was touching any Pokémon, even slightly. One tap and the poor girl would freeze up in total fear. Her story arc is slowly learning to get over this, which she eventually accomplishes.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite initially being an AdaptationalWimp in regards to her phobia towards Pokémon in general, she actually officially owns and raises a Pokémon, unlike the games where she is not a Pokémon trainer yet. She even manages to command it effectively to stop Team Rocket, despite her lack of experience. She also plays a major part in saving Ash and Litten from Palossand in [=SM022=], commanding Snowy to use Powder Snow to freeze the giant Palossand. In [=SM030=], she takes it even further by learning to battle with Pikachu's help. At the end of the episode, she even battles ''Ash'' himself, with Ash using Snowy and Lillie using Pikachu. This is taken further in [=SM080=] where she commands both Snowy and a wild Alolan Sandshrew in a battle against a wild Tyranitar and wins.
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the games, she leaves Alola for Kanto to start her journey (at least in the original ''Sun and Moon''). She leaves Alola at the end of the series to [[spoiler:find her missing father.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, she disliked seeing Pokémon get hurt in battles. Here, she's quite enthusiastic about battling, and even does some battling herself, if still cautious about hurting her Pokémon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the games, [[spoiler:Lillie's mother is horrifically abusive to her, and Lillie is downright scared enough that she runs away from home, stealing Cosmog in the process. The anime depicts their relationship in a far family-friendlier light, showing that Lusamine is too busy with work to come home too often, and Lillie dislikes both that and her mom treating her like she's still a baby.]]
** Similarly, her brother went and joined Team Skull in the games, leaving her to bear the brunt of Lusamine's abuse. He left instead to get stronger for her sake, and their relationship isn't nearly as strained when the two reunite.
** She and Hau were friends in the games, but the anime presents the two as not knowing each other until the Alola League.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in the early episodes, where she's outright scared and apprehensive about Pokémon, or at least touching them, due to a childhood trauma. Her game version just disliked seeing them get hurt in battles. Once she gets ownership of Snowy, she transforms into an AdaptationalBadass.
* AdrenalineMakeover: When [[spoiler:her mother is abducted by Nihilego]], she undergoes her clothing change from the games while this is happening. Unlike the games, though, she regresses back to her usual outfit once that problem has been taken care of.
* AerithAndBob: [[spoiler:Her mother is named Lusamine, her brother is called Gladion, and her father's name is Mohn]], so she has the most typical name out of her family.
* AllLovingHero: Even though Faba tried to kidnap her and erase her memories, kidnapped Nebby, [[spoiler:and got her mother kidnapped by a Nihilego]], she doesn't hold it against him, and accepts his apology when he apologizes to her and Ash.
* AngryCheekPuff: Much like her game counterpart, Lillie puffs her cheeks in a pouty manner, usually when dealing [[spoiler:with her mother]].
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Amongst the Alola Gang, Lillie is the least experienced with Pokémon on account of her fear. Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lana have been trying to slowly help her get used to Pokémon, and when Ash joins, he immediately offers his expertise towards her goal.
* BadassAdorable: Cute? Absolutely! Willing to throw herself in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy while becoming a strategic battle once she undergoes her CharacterDevelopment? Check!
* BadassBookworm: Despite being new to Pokémon training, she is able to think strategically in battle and is willing to throw ''[[GoThroughMe herself]]'' in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy.
* BerserkButton: If there's one thing Lillie absolutely hates, it's her mom treating her like she's still a little girl. Worse, Lusamine being so busy with work means she's been away from home for too long, and isn't aware of how much her daughter has changed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She has no qualms about calling on her Pokémon if she needs to defend herself.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** Lillie looks up to Ash and treats him like another big brother as she would go to him for advice or help.
** She also does hold her biological brother Gladion in high regard, and he's unhesitatingly very protective of her.
* BlatantLies: She isn't scared of Pokémon, she just needs to do a bit more research on them. Then again, she seems fine with Pokémon as long as she isn't touching them.
* BlushStickers: She tends to have these frequently, usually in moments of embarrassment, nervousness, or cuteness. For example, she gets these (and sparkles to boot) when watching Ash eat all of the gang's food to counteract Morelull's LifeDrain.
* ABoyAndHisX: She's very fond of Snowy, and the two became inseparable after the Ice Fox hatched (though it took Lillie a bit of time to get herself to overcome wanting to touch her new partner). Try to harm Snowy, she will unleash her full wrath on you.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Downplayed}}. Lillie is nothing but sweet, polite, and kindhearted to everyone, but she's very temperamental and prissy with [[spoiler:her mother whenever Lusamine]] starts babying her. Understandably, she doesn't want her mom treating her like a child when she hasn't even been home that much to see how Lillie's changed.
* BreakTheCutie: Her adorable demeanor would shatter every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, but it was usually PlayedForLaughs. Then, her brief regression occurs thanks to Nebby, and it's played for anything but.
* TheBusCameBack: Outside of a brief cameo earlier in the series, she made her return in ''Journeys'' [=JN111=].
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Most of her knowledge comes from books rather than actual experience.
* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Alola in the series finale along with Gladion and Lusamine to look for her father, Mohn.
* ButtMonkey:
** In TheStinger for [=SM014=], she is frozen solid by an overly affectionate Snowy. Even with the one Pokémon she ''can'' touch, she can't catch a break.
** Once her phobia is cured, she immediately starts on glomping all the students' Pokémon, setting off some expected chain reactions, such as Lycanroc's painful nuzzling and triggering Turtonator's Shell Trap.
** She is in general more prone to getting caught in the wackier plotlines than Mallow and Lana, such as the IncredibleShrinkingMan plot in [=SM083=] (with AmusingInjuries abound).
* CallingTheOldManOut: Lillie yells at Lusamine about treating her like a baby when she's currently acting even more immature under Nihilego's control.
* CerebusRetcon: Her tendency to freeze up in contact of Pokémon was initially PlayedForLaughs. As the series progresses, however, it is revealed her phobia was caused by [[spoiler: TraumaInducedAmnesia after being caught in the middle of a tussle between Silvally and Nihilego. The sight of Silvally lunging at her left her emotionally scarred, only finding out much later on that it was only protecting her, which gets her over her phobia.]]
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially started off as a shy girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon, but with support from her friends, especially Ash, she decided to take action as she was able to overcome that phobia little by little until it's completely gone.
** She didn't have much of a backbone in standing up to others, unless she arguing with her mother. However, through Ash's influences, Lillie was able to change that as she developed a strong sense of justice and would stand up for what rights.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the games, Lillie was demure and initially evasive due to her agenda, but otherwise quite approachable and serious. Even besides her initial trauma induced phobia, the anime's Lillie is far shyer and a comedic CowardlyLion.
* ColorFailure: This and some panicking were Lillie's typical reactions to touching Pokémon when she still had her phobia.
* CorneredRattlesnake: Though she could command Snowy rather skillfully from the start, her preferred tactic against Team Rocket initially was to retreat. When they finally cornered her, she had Snowy freeze them in ice.
* CowardlyLion: She freaks out if a Pokémon so much as brushes up against her, but she is ''not'' devoid of courage when [[MamaBear Snowy is threatened]]. In fact, the major advances she has made in overcoming her fear have all involved her drive to protect Snowy.
* CowerPower: She hides behind the nearest person whenever she's spooked by a Pokémon, assuming that's an option.
* CurbStompCushion: As she herself admits, she never stood much of a chance in her League battle against Gladion, but she still shows how much she's grown as a trainer by making good use of Snowy's Snow Cloak ability and pulling off a Z-Move.
* CuteBookworm: She reads a lot about Pokémon, despite being afraid of them. As such she doubles as a book-smart gal and is often a CombatCommentator.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She often fumbles during athletic activities, throwing Poké Balls wildly off-target, cowering during a baseball game when the ball flies her way, and failing to jump over a vaulting box.
* CutenessProximity: In spite of her initial inability to touch Pokémon, she is still endeared by them greatly. This shows once she gets over her phobia, and starts glomping all of them in sight.
* TheCutie: A demure little girl with a fairly sweet and somewhat cowardly personality. Her tragic phobia and BigBrotherWorship towards the more experienced classmates also tend to make her endearingly innocent.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SM008=] is about Lillie receiving a Pokémon Egg and learning to be comfortable around it. [=SM014=] is about Lillie bonding with Snowy, the Alolan Vulpix that hatches from the Egg. [=SM030=] is about Lillie working to be comfortable around Ash's Pikachu and learning to battle. [=SM049=] is about Lillie overcoming her fear of touching Pokémon. In [=SM051=], she goes with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne, battling a Totem Kommo-o along the way. In [=SM060=], Lillie and Snowy practice for a Sled Jumping tournament and even though they didn't win, managed to give a spectacular performance. In [=SM080=], she and Snowy battle alongside a wild Alolan Sandshrew against a wild Tyranitar and beat it. Later, the Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash and gives her an Icium Z as thanks.
* DamselInDistress: Tends to get trapped in dangerous scrapes the most out of all the class, most often with Ash saving her:
** Saved from a Salandit by Ash and Hobbes in her first limelight episode.
** The root of her phobia stems from [[spoiler: her getting abducted by Nihilego as a small child, believing Silvally was trying to attack her when it saved her. After Silvally rescues her again from Faba's cover-up attempt in the present day, she realizes her mistake.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: When Team Rocket attacks her upon first seeing her alone with Snowy, she holds her own against them by commanding her new Pokémon. Though she does need Ash's help to save her from a fall, she finishes the job once she recovers and has Snowy freeze Team Rocket in their tracks.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lillie used to be able to touch Pokémon until a mysterious incident at Aether Paradise occurred, though Lillie says that she doesn't remember what happened. It's revealed from [=SM047=] through [=SM049=] that she was attacked by an Ultra Beast (specifically, Nihilego), but rescued by the Silvally that Gladion would later call his own. However, the sight of Silvally lunging at her left her traumatized, causing her to repress her memory.
* DecompositeCharacter: Some of her game counterpart's traits, such as being taken care of by Professor Kukui, go towards Ash.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Lillie freezes in fear if a Pokémon touches her. After getting Snowy, she is able to fight this reaction. [[spoiler:Once she fully remembers her past, her fear vanishes completely]].
* {{Determinator}}:
** Lillie was inspired by Ash's upbeat and determined attitude as he encouraged her to not give up on herself, and because of that she was able to feel comfortable with touching a couple of Pokémon. However, after seeing Gladion's Silvally in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'', Lillie regressed her progress as she could't touch Pokémon again then became depressed about it. Although, in ''Mission: Total Recall!'', Lillie regain her determination when Ash cheered her up as she decided to find answers about her past that were related to her fear of touching Pokémon, which Nebby decided to do for her. Through her determination, Lillie remembered everything from her past and overcame her fear for good then thanked Ash for not giving up on her.
** In ''Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'', Lillie was struggling with her Z-Moves and didn't entirely get Ash's advices. However, determined to not give up, Lillie got what Ash meant as his advices and her strong desire to see her long lost father again helped her perfect her Z-Moves as she became in sync with Snowy.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: True to the source material, though downplayed as she is part of an EnsembleCast but gets the most focus out of anyone besides Ash and seems to be the classmate Ash is closest to.
* DisappearedDad: Her father, Mohn, apparently vanished when she was very young. It turns out he was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole thanks to an accident at the Aether Foundation, which kickstarts Lillie's desire to find him. [[spoiler:In ''Journeys'', she succeeds, finding him out in the middle of the Crown Tundra, albeit with his memories jumbled.]]
* DitzyGenius: Though she is book-smart, she can get a little...out there at times when dealing with practical situations, such as wearing a diving suit just to go fishing, and upon being confronted with a broken bridge in Vast Poni Canyon, jumping to the conclusion that the bridge must be invisible and trying to uncover the path with sand.
* DivingSave: She ends up on the receiving end of one by Ash in [=SM053=], to protect her from [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] attack.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She has one of the most traumatic backstories of any of the main characters, but by ''Journeys'', [[spoiler:she becomes the first of them to have achieved a 100% happy ending -- she finds her father, restores his memories, and returns home with all her family issues fully resolved, even making peace with the very species that had been the source of her trauma to begin with]].
* EggSitting: She has to raise an egg together with Ash as part of a class lesson. She ends up having to protect it from a hungry Salandit. After those events, Lillie decided to take care of the egg more then her classmates did until it hatched.
* EncyclopaediacKnowledge: Her knowledge of Pokémon rivals that of ''Rotom Dex'', much to his chagrin, as Lillie is quick to spout out information on new Pokémon the group encounter before Rotom can.
* EveryonesBabySister: Her relationship is often akin to this with the other students, due to her rookie status and phobia in early episodes and her [[DamselInDistress larger track record for getting into danger]]. On different occasions, Mallow and Ash have insisted on following Lillie home to make sure nothing happens to her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has her makeover when Lusamine is kidnapped by Nihilego, signifying her resolve to save her. Unlike in the games, though, this makeover is not permanent and Lillie returns to her original appearance after Lusamine is saved. As a variation of this, she often ties her hair back this way whenever she goes back into determined mode, even if the "transformation" isn't always successful.
* FaceYourFears: This is Lillie's SeriesGoal at the start of ''Sun and Moon'', as she's eager to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon and bond with them like she wants to. With Ash and friends' help, she succeeds.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: She shares the same eye color as her mother, brother, and father.
* FireForgedFriends:
** In a way. Protecting Snowy's egg from Salandit, [[MythologyGag in much the same way the]] PlayerCharacter [[GoThroughMe protects Cosmog/"Nebby" in the game]], allows her to bond with it.
** This is actually a plot point in [=SM030=], where Lillie realizes that the reason Ash can work so well with Pokémon is because they battle by each others' side. She quickly forms this bond with Pikachu, battling and defeating her butler once she started working with the electric mouse.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Lillie and her mother, Lusamine, initially have a strained relationship with each other because Lusamine is always busy with her work, which causes her to not have time for Lillie and Gladion. Lillie also didn't like that her mother does things without considering her feelings. However, in "Mission: Total Recall!", Lillie forgives her mother after Lusamine realizes how much her work got in the way of spending time with her family and how she failed to notice the trauma Lillie went through as a child that caused her fear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In [=SM008=], when Ash asks her happened to make her unable to touch Pokémon, she says that she doesn't know, and Hobbes says that she was living with her mother when the incident occurred. In [=SM047=], it's revealed that, indeed, she was at Aether Paradise when she was attacked by a Nihilego, resulting in TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Both Hobbes and Gladion say she was this before her childhood trauma that caused her fear of touching Pokémon. Lillie is like that again once she's freed of her phobia.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Magearna she gets after fixing it happens to be a very rare ''shiny'' variation. Lucky for her, since Magearna is shiny locked in all the games it's obtainable in, and can only be obtained in its normal form.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She owns a Clefairy doll that she sleeps with.
* GrewASpine:
** In "Family Determination!", after listening to Ash stating that sometimes you can't do everything alone, Lillie realizes that he is right and finds the courage to stand up to Gladion. Lillie tells Gladion that they have a better chance of getting their mother back from Ultra Space if they have their friends go with them on their quest. Not only is he surprised that his little sister just stood up to him, but he also understands what she and Ash are talking about.
** In "10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!", Lillie finally tells her mother, who is being controlled by Nihilego, how she feels about her treatment of her.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and is the most pure-hearted of the group.
* HeroesLoveDogs: A younger Lillie was shown holding a Lillipup in her arms, and in the present day, she has her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, and has shown to be totally comfortable sitting right next to Rockruff in both [=SM012=] and [=SM013=] despite her usual fear of Pokémon.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing Gladion's Silvally since her childhood, Lillie work in getting over her fear of touching Pokémon was setback a great deal and she became depressed about it. Despite her friends efforts in cheering her up and tried to touch Snowy, Lillie was still down but pulled herself together with Ash's help as she decided to find answers to her past and end her fear for good. After remembering her past, Lillie succeeded in ending her fear once and for all then not only happily embraced her Pokémon friends but also thanks Ash for never giving up on her.
* HeroicSacrifice: Well, she sure tried when she ''leapt off a high wall'' to save Snowy in [=SM014=] after it was knocked off by a Sludge Bomb from Mareanie. Rowlet saved both with Leafage.
* HeroWorshipper: Like her games incarnation with the player character, Lillie sometimes demonstrates some admiration for Ash. In the series finale, Lillie has a flashback to some of the moments she shared with him, as her boat is leaving, runs to the back of it to thank Ash for everything he did to help her in bonding, touching and loving Pokémon all over again.
* AnIcePerson: She owns the Ice Type Alolan Vulpix (which she named Snowy).
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight:
** Brings out her Clefairy doll to remind her mom's Clefable of their bond. With the following CooldownHug, even risking a point-blank Dazzling Gleam, Clefable returns to its senses.
** She tries to get through to her mother in the next episode by calling her out on her behavior and telling her she's stronger than that. It briefly works, but Nihilego's control is too strong.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to her, Ash and Sophocles in [=SM083=] as a result of a botched experiment by Faba. Thankfully the transformation wasn't stable and they shortly grew back.
* TheIngenue: She has some BrokenBird shades due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, but she is definitely one of Ash's most sweet and delicate companions which, combined with her BigBrotherWorship of him, makes him and the others rather protective of her.
* IronicFear: Given the fact she lives in the Alola Region, which emphasizes the bond between people and Pokémon, her fear of Pokémon is kind of this.
* JerkassToOne: Despite her sweet demeanor, the one person Lillie does not speak to very well is her own mother, on account of her being too busy with the Aether Foundation to spend time at home.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the games, it's considered a huge plot twist that Lusamine and Gladion are related to her, being her mother and brother, but the anime reveals this fact relatively early on in [=SM008=].
* {{Leitmotif}}: Starting from the second season, her diary recaps and some other key scenes involving her character are accompanied by arrangements of her piano theme from ''Pokemon Sun and Moon''.
* LetsGetDangerous: Lillie is the meekest of the students and doesn't regularly battle or partake in outside competitions, but her knowledge of Pokémon types and attacks make her resourceful when forced into combat, commanding Snowy and even some of the others' Pokémon rather fluently.
* LittleMissBadass: Lillie develop this as she grew in her battling skills and rallies on what she has seen from Ash's battles as her source of inspiration.
* TheLoad: Lillie only seldom battles, even if she is semi-competent when forced to, and for the first dozen or so episodes didn't even have a Pokémon herself due to her phobia of touching them and Snowy having not yet hatched.
* LovableCoward: Even besides her phobia of Pokémon, she seems to have a rather jittery disposition. She cowered while playing catcher in a baseball game. She can become a CowardlyLion at any point, however.
* MamaBear: Despite being afraid of it at first, Lillie manages to save a Pokémon egg from being a Salandit's lunch. And when she finds that she still has trouble touching the Vulpix that newly hatched from the egg, she eventually gets over ''that'' by nearly performing a HeroicSacrifice to save it from a fall. She's also protective of Nebby despite Ash being its caretaker; she's the one who named it, writes in her diary that she's concerned about it, and refuses to stay behind when Ash and Gladion go to rescue it from Faba.
* MirrorCharacter: Largely an introverted SmartGirl in contrast to the energetic but BookDumb Ash, but she does share his dorky qualities and [[DitzyGenius occasionally ditzy mindset]]. She has also shown a similarly extreme affection for Pokémon at risk to her own well-being, especially when her phobia no longer restrains her.
* MisplacedRetribution: While she doesn't personally act on the event, subconsciously, Silvally was the reason she had a phobia of touching Pokémon after a traumatic event left her with the impression that it was attacking ''her''. In reality, Silvally was trying to attack the Nihilego which was trying to abduct her.
* TheMedic: Shows medical abilities when the students' Pokémon suffer serious injuries. Also tends to take this role in Ultra Guardian missions.
* MythologyGag:
** She carries bags of repel with her when the group goes camping. In the games, she had plenty of the stuff to spare, though this time it's because she doesn't want to have all the Pokémon crawling on her in the middle of the night.
** Lillie is the one who nicknames Nebby. In the games, Nebby is her travel companion, having nicknamed it herself.
* NaiveNewcomer: She was the newest member of the class before Ash came along. This is best shown in [=SM065=], where she and Ash are the only ones who don't already know Ilima.
* NiceGirl: Lillie is incredibly sweet natured and demure, and does everything in her power to convey her love for Pokémon despite her phobia. She also tends to be one of few who treats Ash's usual IronButtMonkey role with concern.
* TheNicknamer: She nicknamed the Vulpix she is caring for (Snowy), even before it hatched. She is also the one to name Nebby.
* {{Ojou}}: Her servants refer to her as "Ojou-sama".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ash notes that she's a '''lot''' more assertive towards her mother than she normally is.
* OlympusMons: She ends up in the possession of Magearna, a Mythical Pokémon.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She eventually takes ownership of a Shiny Magearna, a partial Fairy Type.
* ParentalNeglect: Ever since Mohn disappeared, Lusamine has been busy trying to run Aether Paradise, and isn't around for Lillie as much. While Lusamine does try to make time to be with Lillie, the gap is too much to start with and Lillie doesn't want her around anyway, not helped by Lusamine being overly affectionate in those rare moments of togetherness.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink, while Ash's is dark blue.
* PinkHeroine: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of the students are very nurturing towards her due to her phobia and rookie status as a trainer. Her brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], Mallow and later Ash are all especially protective of her.
* RecapByAudit: A few episodes had her recap the events of the previous one while writing in her diary.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Runs off with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island in an attempt to save their mother.]]
* ShipTease: Lillie enjoys Ash's company and sees him as a [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]]. In ''Bright Lights, Big Changes!'', Lillie went to comfort and talk to Ash after he had a fallout with Rotom Dex as she told him that he should talk things out with it, which he agreed.
* ShrinkingViolet: {{Downplayed}} compared to her game counterpart. She's still close with her classmates, but she's a bit more nervous and withdrawn compared to the rest of them on account of her fear of Pokémon.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Subverted; she does change into her "Z-Powered" outfit and refers to it as such, but after her mother is saved, she goes back to wearing her original outfit. She returns to wearing it during the Alola League tournament.
* TheSmartGal: Despite her fear of Pokémon, her knowledge of them is encyclopedic, through this trait is downplayed after Rotom Dex joins the group. She returns to this role in the Ultra Guardian missions where she is often TheStrategist.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Downplayed. True to the source material, she's the "designated female companion" of the anime, much like Serena, Iris, Dawn, May, and Misty. She gets more focus than the other classmates themselves, but that doesn't mean the series draws focus away from Ash any more than it did with the other female companions.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The [=RotomDex=] notes the strong similarity between Lillie and her mother Lusamine.
* {{Squee}}: Along with Mallow and Lana, this is her reaction to [[spoiler:the news that Kukui and Burnet were getting married.]]
* TakeOurWordForIt: She makes a funny face in order to (successfully) calm Nebby down, but the audience doesn't get a chance to see it.
* TearsOfJoy: When Lusamine is rescued and alive.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Lillie had to completely rekindle the roots of her phobia and cure it on her own (with some help from her classmates of the same age). It was actually Lampshaded during a massive calling out that Lusamine did ''absolutely nothing'' to get to the bottom of her daughter's emotional scars.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: Faba was hoping Lillie's memory loss of his experiment would stick, as it was rooted from a blunder of his when experimenting with Ultra Space transport. When she comes too close to jarring her memory, later on, he resorts to trying to forcibly wipe her mind clean.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Mallow and Lana's tomboys. She's the more feminine of the three, wears more frilly outfits compared to them, and tends to be into more feminine things like stuffed animals. Mallow is a SupremeChef who dresses in a {{Shorttank}} outfit and tends to be more outgoing, while Lana dresses in fishing gear and has a ''very'' dark sense of humor. Her voice is also audibly more feminine compared to Mallow's and Lana's.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she finally got her own Pokémon, she very quickly took to commanding it in dangerous situations and is able to fend off Team Rocket almost entirely on her own. Later, she gets an Icium Z from an Alolan Sandslash as thanks for helping it defeat a wild Tyranitar that was threatening its home.
** She inherits her father's Z-Ring in [=SM116=], though doesn't quite have the training to pull off a Subzero Slammer.
** She masters Subzero Slammer in [=SM127=] after receiving advice from Ash.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Upon overcoming her fear of Pokémon, Lillie's nervousness and shyness dissipated, allowing her to become far more outgoing.
* TownGirls: The femme to Mallow's butch and Lana's neither.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The incident that triggered her fear of Pokémon as a child was so traumatic that it caused her to suppress her memory. She partly recovers it in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'' when she remembers Silvally lunging at her, thinking it was trying to attack her, which sends her back to square one when she encounters it again as a Type: Null. After it breaks its mask and saves her from Faba in the following episode, however, she fully remembers that it actually tried ''saving'' her from a Nihilego; this realization is what lets her overcome her fear
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows this attitude when confronted about her inability to physically touch Pokémon, claiming that she can touch them theoretically.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Her dynamic with her mother Lusamine has shades of this.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: She's very displeased that Lusamine threw herself into her work at Aether Paradise after Mohn disappeared instead of being a responsible mother. To Lusamine's credit, she does try to make time for her kids when she can, but work keeps getting in the way--not that Lillie appreciates that in the slightest.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of her childhood trauma, she's afraid of making physical contact with any Pokémon, even adorable ones like Pikachu and Bounsweet. Despite this, she is quite fond of them, as shown by her house having a Pokémon battlefield, a playground for other Pokémon to play in, and her room having stuffed animal Pokémon. Once she gets ownership of Snowy's egg, she gradually works through her fear to the point where she can touch Snowy, Pikachu, and a Ride Pokémon. [[spoiler:As of [=SM049=], she overcomes her fear completely]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: When Lillie and Gladion go through Vast Poni Canyon in ''Family Determination!'', Lille twice makes a mistake about the genre she is in by expecting puzzles where there are none:
** At the entrance to the temple, she sees three statues and three symbols on the wall behind the statues and she incorrectly guesses that [[StockVideoGamePuzzle the door is unlocked by moving each statue to the correct symbol]], apparently thinking by AdventureGame logic. Gladion stops her and shows her that 1.) the door isn't locked, and 2.), moving the statues sets off a [[SpikesOfDoom spike trap]].
** They later come to a gap without a bridge, and Lille guesses based on books she read that there is [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade an invisible bridge that she tries to reveal by throwing sand on it]]. Gladion tells her that there is not an invisible bridge and has Silvally jump across the gap while carrying them, then explains that there was a bridge but it fell down, which Lillie didn't recognize the remains of.
* YourSizeMayVary: In the games, she was taller than the player character, and her own older brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], but here, she's noticeably shorter than her brother and roughly the same height as Ash, if not slightly shorter than him.

!Lillie's Pokémon
!!Officially owned
[[folder:Alolan Vulpix/"Snowy" (Alolan Rokon/"Shiron")]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pokemon_alolan_vulpix.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/EmilyJenness
In [=SM008=], Lillie was given a Pokémon egg to hatch, to help her get over her fear of Pokémon. She named the egg Snowy. In [=SM013=], the egg hatched into an Alolan Vulpix, which she kept the name Snowy for.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Abiding by its downloadable form for the Generation 7 games, Snowy's gender is female.
* BarrierWarrior: Learns how to use Aurora Veil in [=SM060=].
%%* BigEater: Shown to have picked this up from Ash in [=SM030=]'s EndOfEpisodeSilliness.
%%* CanineCompanion: To Lillie.
* CanonImmigrant: Snowy was made a downloadable character via certain promotional events for ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' (albeit labeled merely Vulpix than by nickname).
* ContrivedCoincidence: While being incubated as an egg, Lillie started calling it "Snowy" despite not knowing that it would hatch into an Alolan Vulpix.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is shown on rare occasions.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She originally couldn't even be touched by Ash, but gradually warmed up to him after living with him for a weekend and learning how to battle.
* FireForgedFriends: Lillie and Snowy spend all of [=SM014=] bonding. They get to the point that Lillie ''jumps off a building'' to save Snowy when she's blown off the same roof by Mareanie's Sludge Bomb during a fight with Team Rocket. They were both saved by Rowlet.
* HarmlessFreezing: It accidentally froze Lillie solid with Powder Snow during TheStinger of the Japanese edit of [=SM014=].
* HatesBeingTouched: Snowy freezes Ash when he tries to pet it and is reluctant to play with the other Pokémon until Samson's Vulpix encouraged her to do so. Snowy is fine with being held by Lillie, though. She finally grows comfortable with letting Ash touch her after spending a weekend training and living with him.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Sometimes plays such to balance Lillie's jittery CuteClumsyGirl antics.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-type. In [=SM014=], it's shown to know Powder Snow, It can also use the ice-type Z-Move Subzero Slammer.
* JumpedAtTheCall: When Lillie was officially given Snowy, she got a bit overly excited with a Poké Ball Kukui gave her to catch it and smacked Ash in the head with it. Snowy walked up to the Ball, hit the button with a paw, and caught herself.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: One of the official posters heavily alluded that an Alola Vulpix would become Lillie's partner. The poster was published even before the release of the trailer that revealed a Cosmog was residing in Lillie's infamous bag in the games, resulting in that some people initially speculated that the bag contained an Alola Vulpix.
* LetsGetDangerous: Snowy spends most of her screen time babied by Lillie, though is alarmingly powerful for a newborn. She held her own against the posse of Totem Kommo-o, and despite a hectic first battle with Team Rocket, she ultimately froze the entire squad with one Powder Snow attack in a HeroicSecondWind (to punctuate, this was only two episodes after [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the trio had successfully fainted Pikachu and Rowlet]]).
* LimitBreak: She can use the ice-type Z-move Subzero Slammer.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, "Shiron", comes from combining the word for "white" with the word applied to "rolling": ''koron-koron''. Lillie said right before Snowy hatched that she had taken to rolling her egg around. The second half still applies after hatching, making the name a combination of "white" and Rokon. It roughly translates to "Snowball" in English.
* MundaneUtility: Lillie keeps cool in the hot Alolan climate by carrying Snowy in her arms.
* NoodleIncident: After over a season of using only Powered Snow, [=SM060=] revealed Snowy had learned Hail offscreen.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's an adorable baby fox with white fur. What else did you expect?
* SignatureMon: Though Lillie is associated with Nebby and later gets Magearna, Snowy remains her main Pokémon partner.
* TheSixthRanger: Literally such with the other students' signature Pokémon, having hatched and acquainted herself with the others sometime after Ash and Pikachu had arrived.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Pun aside, unlike the Fire-type Vulpix that hatched after it, Snowy was reluctant to interact with the other Pokémon and even froze Ash when he attempted to pet her. The only person she would be friendly towards is Lillie. Later on, however, it did grow more comfortable around Ash.
* TookALevelInBadass: Received proper battle training from Ash in [=SM030=] and the results show in her more confident personality and battle prowess. By [=SM060=] she has also learned both Hail and Aurora Veil.
* UncattyResemblance: Her white/light blue fur and fluffy tail bear a resemblance to Lillie's white and blue ruffled dress.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Lillie briefly regressed in her fear of touching Pokémon, Snowy remains patiently supportive of her trainer.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: She doesn't battle much, so Powder Snow is the only move she knows, but when she does battle, Lillie can use it resourcefully enough to usually get the job done. Subverted [=SM060=] onwards, where Snowy learns Aurora Veil and is noted to have learned Hail offscreen.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Shows shades of this in the post-credits scene of [=SM145=], as it falls on its face trying to run.
* EleventhHourRanger: Awakens in the penultimate episode of ''Sun and Moon''.
* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel type.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's a shiny Pokémon, but it's one of the ones that players ''can't'' obtain in game due to Magearna being one of the few "shiny-locked" entires. Because the anime has no such restrictions, Lillie is able to get it working and keep it.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy type.

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KeiShindou

Lillie is the resident bookworm, highly knowledgeable about Pokémon from her studies, but terrified by the thought of touching them due to a deeply rooted trauma she suffered in the past. With the constant support of her friends and their Pokémon, however, she slowly but surely works to overcome her fear.

[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes related to Lillie]]
* NumberOneDime: She has a stuffed Clefairy doll that's always seen in her room. When going to rescue to Lusamine, she takes it along with her.
* AchillesHeel: Initially, it was touching any Pokémon, even slightly. One tap and the poor girl would freeze up in total fear. Her story arc is slowly learning to get over this, which she eventually accomplishes.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite initially being an AdaptationalWimp in regards to her phobia towards Pokémon in general, she actually officially owns and raises a Pokémon, unlike the games where she is not a Pokémon trainer yet. She even manages to command it effectively to stop Team Rocket, despite her lack of experience. She also plays a major part in saving Ash and Litten from Palossand in [=SM022=], commanding Snowy to use Powder Snow to freeze the giant Palossand. In [=SM030=], she takes it even further by learning to battle with Pikachu's help. At the end of the episode, she even battles ''Ash'' himself, with Ash using Snowy and Lillie using Pikachu. This is taken further in [=SM080=] where she commands both Snowy and a wild Alolan Sandshrew in a battle against a wild Tyranitar and wins.
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the games, she leaves Alola for Kanto to start her journey (at least in the original ''Sun and Moon''). She leaves Alola at the end of the series to [[spoiler:find her missing father.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, she disliked seeing Pokémon get hurt in battles. Here, she's quite enthusiastic about battling, and even does some battling herself, if still cautious about hurting her Pokémon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the games, [[spoiler:Lillie's mother is horrifically abusive to her, and Lillie is downright scared enough that she runs away from home, stealing Cosmog in the process. The anime depicts their relationship in a far family-friendlier light, showing that Lusamine is too busy with work to come home too often, and Lillie dislikes both that and her mom treating her like she's still a baby.]]
** Similarly, her brother went and joined Team Skull in the games, leaving her to bear the brunt of Lusamine's abuse. He left instead to get stronger for her sake, and their relationship isn't nearly as strained when the two reunite.
** She and Hau were friends in the games, but the anime presents the two as not knowing each other until the Alola League.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in the early episodes, where she's outright scared and apprehensive about Pokémon, or at least touching them, due to a childhood trauma. Her game version just disliked seeing them get hurt in battles. Once she gets ownership of Snowy, she transforms into an AdaptationalBadass.
* AdrenalineMakeover: When [[spoiler:her mother is abducted by Nihilego]], she undergoes her clothing change from the games while this is happening. Unlike the games, though, she regresses back to her usual outfit once that problem has been taken care of.
* AerithAndBob: [[spoiler:Her mother is named Lusamine, her brother is called Gladion, and her father's name is Mohn]], so she has the most typical name out of her family.
* AllLovingHero: Even though Faba tried to kidnap her and erase her memories, kidnapped Nebby, [[spoiler:and got her mother kidnapped by a Nihilego]], she doesn't hold it against him, and accepts his apology when he apologizes to her and Ash.
* AngryCheekPuff: Much like her game counterpart, Lillie puffs her cheeks in a pouty manner, usually when dealing [[spoiler:with her mother]].
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Amongst the Alola Gang, Lillie is the least experienced with Pokémon on account of her fear. Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lana have been trying to slowly help her get used to Pokémon, and when Ash joins, he immediately offers his expertise towards her goal.
* BadassAdorable: Cute? Absolutely! Willing to throw herself in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy while becoming a strategic battle once she undergoes her CharacterDevelopment? Check!
* BadassBookworm: Despite being new to Pokémon training, she is able to think strategically in battle and is willing to throw ''[[GoThroughMe herself]]'' in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy.
* BerserkButton: If there's one thing Lillie absolutely hates, it's her mom treating her like she's still a little girl. Worse, Lusamine being so busy with work means she's been away from home for too long, and isn't aware of how much her daughter has changed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She has no qualms about calling on her Pokémon if she needs to defend herself.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** Lillie looks up to Ash and treats him like another big brother as she would go to him for advice or help.
** She also does hold her biological brother Gladion in high regard, and he's unhesitatingly very protective of her.
* BlatantLies: She isn't scared of Pokémon, she just needs to do a bit more research on them. Then again, she seems fine with Pokémon as long as she isn't touching them.
* BlushStickers: She tends to have these frequently, usually in moments of embarrassment, nervousness, or cuteness. For example, she gets these (and sparkles to boot) when watching Ash eat all of the gang's food to counteract Morelull's LifeDrain.
* ABoyAndHisX: She's very fond of Snowy, and the two became inseparable after the Ice Fox hatched (though it took Lillie a bit of time to get herself to overcome wanting to touch her new partner). Try to harm Snowy, she will unleash her full wrath on you.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Downplayed}}. Lillie is nothing but sweet, polite, and kindhearted to everyone, but she's very temperamental and prissy with [[spoiler:her mother whenever Lusamine]] starts babying her. Understandably, she doesn't want her mom treating her like a child when she hasn't even been home that much to see how Lillie's changed.
* BreakTheCutie: Her adorable demeanor would shatter every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, but it was usually PlayedForLaughs. Then, her brief regression occurs thanks to Nebby, and it's played for anything but.
* TheBusCameBack: Outside of a brief cameo earlier in the series, she made her return in ''Journeys'' [=JN111=].
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Most of her knowledge comes from books rather than actual experience.
* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Alola in the series finale along with Gladion and Lusamine to look for her father, Mohn.
* ButtMonkey:
** In TheStinger for [=SM014=], she is frozen solid by an overly affectionate Snowy. Even with the one Pokémon she ''can'' touch, she can't catch a break.
** Once her phobia is cured, she immediately starts on glomping all the students' Pokémon, setting off some expected chain reactions, such as Lycanroc's painful nuzzling and triggering Turtonator's Shell Trap.
** She is in general more prone to getting caught in the wackier plotlines than Mallow and Lana, such as the IncredibleShrinkingMan plot in [=SM083=] (with AmusingInjuries abound).
* CallingTheOldManOut: Lillie yells at Lusamine about treating her like a baby when she's currently acting even more immature under Nihilego's control.
* CerebusRetcon: Her tendency to freeze up in contact of Pokémon was initially PlayedForLaughs. As the series progresses, however, it is revealed her phobia was caused by [[spoiler: TraumaInducedAmnesia after being caught in the middle of a tussle between Silvally and Nihilego. The sight of Silvally lunging at her left her emotionally scarred, only finding out much later on that it was only protecting her, which gets her over her phobia.]]
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially started off as a shy girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon, but with support from her friends, especially Ash, she decided to take action as she was able to overcome that phobia little by little until it's completely gone.
** She didn't have much of a backbone in standing up to others, unless she arguing with her mother. However, through Ash's influences, Lillie was able to change that as she developed a strong sense of justice and would stand up for what rights.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the games, Lillie was demure and initially evasive due to her agenda, but otherwise quite approachable and serious. Even besides her initial trauma induced phobia, the anime's Lillie is far shyer and a comedic CowardlyLion.
* ColorFailure: This and some panicking were Lillie's typical reactions to touching Pokémon when she still had her phobia.
* CorneredRattlesnake: Though she could command Snowy rather skillfully from the start, her preferred tactic against Team Rocket initially was to retreat. When they finally cornered her, she had Snowy freeze them in ice.
* CowardlyLion: She freaks out if a Pokémon so much as brushes up against her, but she is ''not'' devoid of courage when [[MamaBear Snowy is threatened]]. In fact, the major advances she has made in overcoming her fear have all involved her drive to protect Snowy.
* CowerPower: She hides behind the nearest person whenever she's spooked by a Pokémon, assuming that's an option.
* CurbStompCushion: As she herself admits, she never stood much of a chance in her League battle against Gladion, but she still shows how much she's grown as a trainer by making good use of Snowy's Snow Cloak ability and pulling off a Z-Move.
* CuteBookworm: She reads a lot about Pokémon, despite being afraid of them. As such she doubles as a book-smart gal and is often a CombatCommentator.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She often fumbles during athletic activities, throwing Poké Balls wildly off-target, cowering during a baseball game when the ball flies her way, and failing to jump over a vaulting box.
* CutenessProximity: In spite of her initial inability to touch Pokémon, she is still endeared by them greatly. This shows once she gets over her phobia, and starts glomping all of them in sight.
* TheCutie: A demure little girl with a fairly sweet and somewhat cowardly personality. Her tragic phobia and BigBrotherWorship towards the more experienced classmates also tend to make her endearingly innocent.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SM008=] is about Lillie receiving a Pokémon Egg and learning to be comfortable around it. [=SM014=] is about Lillie bonding with Snowy, the Alolan Vulpix that hatches from the Egg. [=SM030=] is about Lillie working to be comfortable around Ash's Pikachu and learning to battle. [=SM049=] is about Lillie overcoming her fear of touching Pokémon. In [=SM051=], she goes with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne, battling a Totem Kommo-o along the way. In [=SM060=], Lillie and Snowy practice for a Sled Jumping tournament and even though they didn't win, managed to give a spectacular performance. In [=SM080=], she and Snowy battle alongside a wild Alolan Sandshrew against a wild Tyranitar and beat it. Later, the Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash and gives her an Icium Z as thanks.
* DamselInDistress: Tends to get trapped in dangerous scrapes the most out of all the class, most often with Ash saving her:
** Saved from a Salandit by Ash and Hobbes in her first limelight episode.
** The root of her phobia stems from [[spoiler: her getting abducted by Nihilego as a small child, believing Silvally was trying to attack her when it saved her. After Silvally rescues her again from Faba's cover-up attempt in the present day, she realizes her mistake.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: When Team Rocket attacks her upon first seeing her alone with Snowy, she holds her own against them by commanding her new Pokémon. Though she does need Ash's help to save her from a fall, she finishes the job once she recovers and has Snowy freeze Team Rocket in their tracks.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lillie used to be able to touch Pokémon until a mysterious incident at Aether Paradise occurred, though Lillie says that she doesn't remember what happened. It's revealed from [=SM047=] through [=SM049=] that she was attacked by an Ultra Beast (specifically, Nihilego), but rescued by the Silvally that Gladion would later call his own. However, the sight of Silvally lunging at her left her traumatized, causing her to repress her memory.
* DecompositeCharacter: Some of her game counterpart's traits, such as being taken care of by Professor Kukui, go towards Ash.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Lillie freezes in fear if a Pokémon touches her. After getting Snowy, she is able to fight this reaction. [[spoiler:Once she fully remembers her past, her fear vanishes completely]].
* {{Determinator}}:
** Lillie was inspired by Ash's upbeat and determined attitude as he encouraged her to not give up on herself, and because of that she was able to feel comfortable with touching a couple of Pokémon. However, after seeing Gladion's Silvally in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'', Lillie regressed her progress as she could't touch Pokémon again then became depressed about it. Although, in ''Mission: Total Recall!'', Lillie regain her determination when Ash cheered her up as she decided to find answers about her past that were related to her fear of touching Pokémon, which Nebby decided to do for her. Through her determination, Lillie remembered everything from her past and overcame her fear for good then thanked Ash for not giving up on her.
** In ''Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'', Lillie was struggling with her Z-Moves and didn't entirely get Ash's advices. However, determined to not give up, Lillie got what Ash meant as his advices and her strong desire to see her long lost father again helped her perfect her Z-Moves as she became in sync with Snowy.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: True to the source material, though downplayed as she is part of an EnsembleCast but gets the most focus out of anyone besides Ash and seems to be the classmate Ash is closest to.
* DisappearedDad: Her father, Mohn, apparently vanished when she was very young. It turns out he was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole thanks to an accident at the Aether Foundation, which kickstarts Lillie's desire to find him. [[spoiler:In ''Journeys'', she succeeds, finding him out in the middle of the Crown Tundra, albeit with his memories jumbled.]]
* DitzyGenius: Though she is book-smart, she can get a little...out there at times when dealing with practical situations, such as wearing a diving suit just to go fishing, and upon being confronted with a broken bridge in Vast Poni Canyon, jumping to the conclusion that the bridge must be invisible and trying to uncover the path with sand.
* DivingSave: She ends up on the receiving end of one by Ash in [=SM053=], to protect her from [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] attack.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She has one of the most traumatic backstories of any of the main characters, but by ''Journeys'', [[spoiler:she becomes the first of them to have achieved a 100% happy ending -- she finds her father, restores his memories, and returns home with all her family issues fully resolved, even making peace with the very species that had been the source of her trauma to begin with]].
* EggSitting: She has to raise an egg together with Ash as part of a class lesson. She ends up having to protect it from a hungry Salandit. After those events, Lillie decided to take care of the egg more then her classmates did until it hatched.
* EncyclopaediacKnowledge: Her knowledge of Pokémon rivals that of ''Rotom Dex'', much to his chagrin, as Lillie is quick to spout out information on new Pokémon the group encounter before Rotom can.
* EveryonesBabySister: Her relationship is often akin to this with the other students, due to her rookie status and phobia in early episodes and her [[DamselInDistress larger track record for getting into danger]]. On different occasions, Mallow and Ash have insisted on following Lillie home to make sure nothing happens to her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has her makeover when Lusamine is kidnapped by Nihilego, signifying her resolve to save her. Unlike in the games, though, this makeover is not permanent and Lillie returns to her original appearance after Lusamine is saved. As a variation of this, she often ties her hair back this way whenever she goes back into determined mode, even if the "transformation" isn't always successful.
* FaceYourFears: This is Lillie's SeriesGoal at the start of ''Sun and Moon'', as she's eager to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon and bond with them like she wants to. With Ash and friends' help, she succeeds.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: She shares the same eye color as her mother, brother, and father.
* FireForgedFriends:
** In a way. Protecting Snowy's egg from Salandit, [[MythologyGag in much the same way the]] PlayerCharacter [[GoThroughMe protects Cosmog/"Nebby" in the game]], allows her to bond with it.
** This is actually a plot point in [=SM030=], where Lillie realizes that the reason Ash can work so well with Pokémon is because they battle by each others' side. She quickly forms this bond with Pikachu, battling and defeating her butler once she started working with the electric mouse.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Lillie and her mother, Lusamine, initially have a strained relationship with each other because Lusamine is always busy with her work, which causes her to not have time for Lillie and Gladion. Lillie also didn't like that her mother does things without considering her feelings. However, in "Mission: Total Recall!", Lillie forgives her mother after Lusamine realizes how much her work got in the way of spending time with her family and how she failed to notice the trauma Lillie went through as a child that caused her fear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In [=SM008=], when Ash asks her happened to make her unable to touch Pokémon, she says that she doesn't know, and Hobbes says that she was living with her mother when the incident occurred. In [=SM047=], it's revealed that, indeed, she was at Aether Paradise when she was attacked by a Nihilego, resulting in TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Both Hobbes and Gladion say she was this before her childhood trauma that caused her fear of touching Pokémon. Lillie is like that again once she's freed of her phobia.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Magearna she gets after fixing it happens to be a very rare ''shiny'' variation. Lucky for her, since Magearna is shiny locked in all the games it's obtainable in, and can only be obtained in its normal form.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She owns a Clefairy doll that she sleeps with.
* GrewASpine:
** In "Family Determination!", after listening to Ash stating that sometimes you can't do everything alone, Lillie realizes that he is right and finds the courage to stand up to Gladion. Lillie tells Gladion that they have a better chance of getting their mother back from Ultra Space if they have their friends go with them on their quest. Not only is he surprised that his little sister just stood up to him, but he also understands what she and Ash are talking about.
** In "10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!", Lillie finally tells her mother, who is being controlled by Nihilego, how she feels about her treatment of her.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and is the most pure-hearted of the group.
* HeroesLoveDogs: A younger Lillie was shown holding a Lillipup in her arms, and in the present day, she has her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, and has shown to be totally comfortable sitting right next to Rockruff in both [=SM012=] and [=SM013=] despite her usual fear of Pokémon.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing Gladion's Silvally since her childhood, Lillie work in getting over her fear of touching Pokémon was setback a great deal and she became depressed about it. Despite her friends efforts in cheering her up and tried to touch Snowy, Lillie was still down but pulled herself together with Ash's help as she decided to find answers to her past and end her fear for good. After remembering her past, Lillie succeeded in ending her fear once and for all then not only happily embraced her Pokémon friends but also thanks Ash for never giving up on her.
* HeroicSacrifice: Well, she sure tried when she ''leapt off a high wall'' to save Snowy in [=SM014=] after it was knocked off by a Sludge Bomb from Mareanie. Rowlet saved both with Leafage.
* HeroWorshipper: Like her games incarnation with the player character, Lillie sometimes demonstrates some admiration for Ash. In the series finale, Lillie has a flashback to some of the moments she shared with him, as her boat is leaving, runs to the back of it to thank Ash for everything he did to help her in bonding, touching and loving Pokémon all over again.
* AnIcePerson: She owns the Ice Type Alolan Vulpix (which she named Snowy).
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight:
** Brings out her Clefairy doll to remind her mom's Clefable of their bond. With the following CooldownHug, even risking a point-blank Dazzling Gleam, Clefable returns to its senses.
** She tries to get through to her mother in the next episode by calling her out on her behavior and telling her she's stronger than that. It briefly works, but Nihilego's control is too strong.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to her, Ash and Sophocles in [=SM083=] as a result of a botched experiment by Faba. Thankfully the transformation wasn't stable and they shortly grew back.
* TheIngenue: She has some BrokenBird shades due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, but she is definitely one of Ash's most sweet and delicate companions which, combined with her BigBrotherWorship of him, makes him and the others rather protective of her.
* IronicFear: Given the fact she lives in the Alola Region, which emphasizes the bond between people and Pokémon, her fear of Pokémon is kind of this.
* JerkassToOne: Despite her sweet demeanor, the one person Lillie does not speak to very well is her own mother, on account of her being too busy with the Aether Foundation to spend time at home.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the games, it's considered a huge plot twist that Lusamine and Gladion are related to her, being her mother and brother, but the anime reveals this fact relatively early on in [=SM008=].
* {{Leitmotif}}: Starting from the second season, her diary recaps and some other key scenes involving her character are accompanied by arrangements of her piano theme from ''Pokemon Sun and Moon''.
* LetsGetDangerous: Lillie is the meekest of the students and doesn't regularly battle or partake in outside competitions, but her knowledge of Pokémon types and attacks make her resourceful when forced into combat, commanding Snowy and even some of the others' Pokémon rather fluently.
* LittleMissBadass: Lillie develop this as she grew in her battling skills and rallies on what she has seen from Ash's battles as her source of inspiration.
* TheLoad: Lillie only seldom battles, even if she is semi-competent when forced to, and for the first dozen or so episodes didn't even have a Pokémon herself due to her phobia of touching them and Snowy having not yet hatched.
* LovableCoward: Even besides her phobia of Pokémon, she seems to have a rather jittery disposition. She cowered while playing catcher in a baseball game. She can become a CowardlyLion at any point, however.
* MamaBear: Despite being afraid of it at first, Lillie manages to save a Pokémon egg from being a Salandit's lunch. And when she finds that she still has trouble touching the Vulpix that newly hatched from the egg, she eventually gets over ''that'' by nearly performing a HeroicSacrifice to save it from a fall. She's also protective of Nebby despite Ash being its caretaker; she's the one who named it, writes in her diary that she's concerned about it, and refuses to stay behind when Ash and Gladion go to rescue it from Faba.
* MirrorCharacter: Largely an introverted SmartGirl in contrast to the energetic but BookDumb Ash, but she does share his dorky qualities and [[DitzyGenius occasionally ditzy mindset]]. She has also shown a similarly extreme affection for Pokémon at risk to her own well-being, especially when her phobia no longer restrains her.
* MisplacedRetribution: While she doesn't personally act on the event, subconsciously, Silvally was the reason she had a phobia of touching Pokémon after a traumatic event left her with the impression that it was attacking ''her''. In reality, Silvally was trying to attack the Nihilego which was trying to abduct her.
* TheMedic: Shows medical abilities when the students' Pokémon suffer serious injuries. Also tends to take this role in Ultra Guardian missions.
* MythologyGag:
** She carries bags of repel with her when the group goes camping. In the games, she had plenty of the stuff to spare, though this time it's because she doesn't want to have all the Pokémon crawling on her in the middle of the night.
** Lillie is the one who nicknames Nebby. In the games, Nebby is her travel companion, having nicknamed it herself.
* NaiveNewcomer: She was the newest member of the class before Ash came along. This is best shown in [=SM065=], where she and Ash are the only ones who don't already know Ilima.
* NiceGirl: Lillie is incredibly sweet natured and demure, and does everything in her power to convey her love for Pokémon despite her phobia. She also tends to be one of few who treats Ash's usual IronButtMonkey role with concern.
* TheNicknamer: She nicknamed the Vulpix she is caring for (Snowy), even before it hatched. She is also the one to name Nebby.
* {{Ojou}}: Her servants refer to her as "Ojou-sama".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ash notes that she's a '''lot''' more assertive towards her mother than she normally is.
* OlympusMons: She ends up in the possession of Magearna, a Mythical Pokémon.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She eventually takes ownership of a Shiny Magearna, a partial Fairy Type.
* ParentalNeglect: Ever since Mohn disappeared, Lusamine has been busy trying to run Aether Paradise, and isn't around for Lillie as much. While Lusamine does try to make time to be with Lillie, the gap is too much to start with and Lillie doesn't want her around anyway, not helped by Lusamine being overly affectionate in those rare moments of togetherness.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink, while Ash's is dark blue.
* PinkHeroine: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of the students are very nurturing towards her due to her phobia and rookie status as a trainer. Her brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], Mallow and later Ash are all especially protective of her.
* RecapByAudit: A few episodes had her recap the events of the previous one while writing in her diary.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Runs off with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island in an attempt to save their mother.]]
* ShipTease: Lillie enjoys Ash's company and sees him as a [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]]. In ''Bright Lights, Big Changes!'', Lillie went to comfort and talk to Ash after he had a fallout with Rotom Dex as she told him that he should talk things out with it, which he agreed.
* ShrinkingViolet: {{Downplayed}} compared to her game counterpart. She's still close with her classmates, but she's a bit more nervous and withdrawn compared to the rest of them on account of her fear of Pokémon.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Subverted; she does change into her "Z-Powered" outfit and refers to it as such, but after her mother is saved, she goes back to wearing her original outfit. She returns to wearing it during the Alola League tournament.
* TheSmartGal: Despite her fear of Pokémon, her knowledge of them is encyclopedic, through this trait is downplayed after Rotom Dex joins the group. She returns to this role in the Ultra Guardian missions where she is often TheStrategist.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Downplayed. True to the source material, she's the "designated female companion" of the anime, much like Serena, Iris, Dawn, May, and Misty. She gets more focus than the other classmates themselves, but that doesn't mean the series draws focus away from Ash any more than it did with the other female companions.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The [=RotomDex=] notes the strong similarity between Lillie and her mother Lusamine.
* {{Squee}}: Along with Mallow and Lana, this is her reaction to [[spoiler:the news that Kukui and Burnet were getting married.]]
* TakeOurWordForIt: She makes a funny face in order to (successfully) calm Nebby down, but the audience doesn't get a chance to see it.
* TearsOfJoy: When Lusamine is rescued and alive.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Lillie had to completely rekindle the roots of her phobia and cure it on her own (with some help from her classmates of the same age). It was actually Lampshaded during a massive calling out that Lusamine did ''absolutely nothing'' to get to the bottom of her daughter's emotional scars.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: Faba was hoping Lillie's memory loss of his experiment would stick, as it was rooted from a blunder of his when experimenting with Ultra Space transport. When she comes too close to jarring her memory, later on, he resorts to trying to forcibly wipe her mind clean.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Mallow and Lana's tomboys. She's the more feminine of the three, wears more frilly outfits compared to them, and tends to be into more feminine things like stuffed animals. Mallow is a SupremeChef who dresses in a {{Shorttank}} outfit and tends to be more outgoing, while Lana dresses in fishing gear and has a ''very'' dark sense of humor. Her voice is also audibly more feminine compared to Mallow's and Lana's.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she finally got her own Pokémon, she very quickly took to commanding it in dangerous situations and is able to fend off Team Rocket almost entirely on her own. Later, she gets an Icium Z from an Alolan Sandslash as thanks for helping it defeat a wild Tyranitar that was threatening its home.
** She inherits her father's Z-Ring in [=SM116=], though doesn't quite have the training to pull off a Subzero Slammer.
** She masters Subzero Slammer in [=SM127=] after receiving advice from Ash.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Upon overcoming her fear of Pokémon, Lillie's nervousness and shyness dissipated, allowing her to become far more outgoing.
* TownGirls: The femme to Mallow's butch and Lana's neither.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The incident that triggered her fear of Pokémon as a child was so traumatic that it caused her to suppress her memory. She partly recovers it in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'' when she remembers Silvally lunging at her, thinking it was trying to attack her, which sends her back to square one when she encounters it again as a Type: Null. After it breaks its mask and saves her from Faba in the following episode, however, she fully remembers that it actually tried ''saving'' her from a Nihilego; this realization is what lets her overcome her fear
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows this attitude when confronted about her inability to physically touch Pokémon, claiming that she can touch them theoretically.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Her dynamic with her mother Lusamine has shades of this.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: She's very displeased that Lusamine threw herself into her work at Aether Paradise after Mohn disappeared instead of being a responsible mother. To Lusamine's credit, she does try to make time for her kids when she can, but work keeps getting in the way--not that Lillie appreciates that in the slightest.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of her childhood trauma, she's afraid of making physical contact with any Pokémon, even adorable ones like Pikachu and Bounsweet. Despite this, she is quite fond of them, as shown by her house having a Pokémon battlefield, a playground for other Pokémon to play in, and her room having stuffed animal Pokémon. Once she gets ownership of Snowy's egg, she gradually works through her fear to the point where she can touch Snowy, Pikachu, and a Ride Pokémon. [[spoiler:As of [=SM049=], she overcomes her fear completely]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: When Lillie and Gladion go through Vast Poni Canyon in ''Family Determination!'', Lille twice makes a mistake about the genre she is in by expecting puzzles where there are none:
** At the entrance to the temple, she sees three statues and three symbols on the wall behind the statues and she incorrectly guesses that [[StockVideoGamePuzzle the door is unlocked by moving each statue to the correct symbol]], apparently thinking by AdventureGame logic. Gladion stops her and shows her that 1.) the door isn't locked, and 2.), moving the statues sets off a [[SpikesOfDoom spike trap]].
** They later come to a gap without a bridge, and Lille guesses based on books she read that there is [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade an invisible bridge that she tries to reveal by throwing sand on it]]. Gladion tells her that there is not an invisible bridge and has Silvally jump across the gap while carrying them, then explains that there was a bridge but it fell down, which Lillie didn't recognize the remains of.
* YourSizeMayVary: In the games, she was taller than the player character, and her own older brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], but here, she's noticeably shorter than her brother and roughly the same height as Ash, if not slightly shorter than him.

!Lillie's Pokémon
!!Officially owned
[[folder:Alolan Vulpix/"Snowy" (Alolan Rokon/"Shiron")]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pokemon_alolan_vulpix.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/EmilyJenness
In [=SM008=], Lillie was given a Pokémon egg to hatch, to help her get over her fear of Pokémon. She named the egg Snowy. In [=SM013=], the egg hatched into an Alolan Vulpix, which she kept the name Snowy for.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Abiding by its downloadable form for the Generation 7 games, Snowy's gender is female.
* BarrierWarrior: Learns how to use Aurora Veil in [=SM060=].
%%* BigEater: Shown to have picked this up from Ash in [=SM030=]'s EndOfEpisodeSilliness.
%%* CanineCompanion: To Lillie.
* CanonImmigrant: Snowy was made a downloadable character via certain promotional events for ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' (albeit labeled merely Vulpix than by nickname).
* ContrivedCoincidence: While being incubated as an egg, Lillie started calling it "Snowy" despite not knowing that it would hatch into an Alolan Vulpix.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is shown on rare occasions.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She originally couldn't even be touched by Ash, but gradually warmed up to him after living with him for a weekend and learning how to battle.
* FireForgedFriends: Lillie and Snowy spend all of [=SM014=] bonding. They get to the point that Lillie ''jumps off a building'' to save Snowy when she's blown off the same roof by Mareanie's Sludge Bomb during a fight with Team Rocket. They were both saved by Rowlet.
* HarmlessFreezing: It accidentally froze Lillie solid with Powder Snow during TheStinger of the Japanese edit of [=SM014=].
* HatesBeingTouched: Snowy freezes Ash when he tries to pet it and is reluctant to play with the other Pokémon until Samson's Vulpix encouraged her to do so. Snowy is fine with being held by Lillie, though. She finally grows comfortable with letting Ash touch her after spending a weekend training and living with him.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Sometimes plays such to balance Lillie's jittery CuteClumsyGirl antics.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-type. In [=SM014=], it's shown to know Powder Snow, It can also use the ice-type Z-Move Subzero Slammer.
* JumpedAtTheCall: When Lillie was officially given Snowy, she got a bit overly excited with a Poké Ball Kukui gave her to catch it and smacked Ash in the head with it. Snowy walked up to the Ball, hit the button with a paw, and caught herself.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: One of the official posters heavily alluded that an Alola Vulpix would become Lillie's partner. The poster was published even before the release of the trailer that revealed a Cosmog was residing in Lillie's infamous bag in the games, resulting in that some people initially speculated that the bag contained an Alola Vulpix.
* LetsGetDangerous: Snowy spends most of her screen time babied by Lillie, though is alarmingly powerful for a newborn. She held her own against the posse of Totem Kommo-o, and despite a hectic first battle with Team Rocket, she ultimately froze the entire squad with one Powder Snow attack in a HeroicSecondWind (to punctuate, this was only two episodes after [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the trio had successfully fainted Pikachu and Rowlet]]).
* LimitBreak: She can use the ice-type Z-move Subzero Slammer.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, "Shiron", comes from combining the word for "white" with the word applied to "rolling": ''koron-koron''. Lillie said right before Snowy hatched that she had taken to rolling her egg around. The second half still applies after hatching, making the name a combination of "white" and Rokon. It roughly translates to "Snowball" in English.
* MundaneUtility: Lillie keeps cool in the hot Alolan climate by carrying Snowy in her arms.
* NoodleIncident: After over a season of using only Powered Snow, [=SM060=] revealed Snowy had learned Hail offscreen.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's an adorable baby fox with white fur. What else did you expect?
* SignatureMon: Though Lillie is associated with Nebby and later gets Magearna, Snowy remains her main Pokémon partner.
* TheSixthRanger: Literally such with the other students' signature Pokémon, having hatched and acquainted herself with the others sometime after Ash and Pikachu had arrived.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Pun aside, unlike the Fire-type Vulpix that hatched after it, Snowy was reluctant to interact with the other Pokémon and even froze Ash when he attempted to pet her. The only person she would be friendly towards is Lillie. Later on, however, it did grow more comfortable around Ash.
* TookALevelInBadass: Received proper battle training from Ash in [=SM030=] and the results show in her more confident personality and battle prowess. By [=SM060=] she has also learned both Hail and Aurora Veil.
* UncattyResemblance: Her white/light blue fur and fluffy tail bear a resemblance to Lillie's white and blue ruffled dress.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Lillie briefly regressed in her fear of touching Pokémon, Snowy remains patiently supportive of her trainer.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: She doesn't battle much, so Powder Snow is the only move she knows, but when she does battle, Lillie can use it resourcefully enough to usually get the job done. Subverted [=SM060=] onwards, where Snowy learns Aurora Veil and is noted to have learned Hail offscreen.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Shows shades of this in the post-credits scene of [=SM145=], as it falls on its face trying to run.
* EleventhHourRanger: Awakens in the penultimate episode of ''Sun and Moon''.
* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel type.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's a shiny Pokémon, but it's one of the ones that players ''can't'' obtain in game due to Magearna being one of the few "shiny-locked" entires. Because the anime has no such restrictions, Lillie is able to get it working and keep it.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy type.
* TragicKeepsake: Of Mohn.

->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/KeiShindou
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Laurie Hymes
->'''Voiced in Latin American Spanish by:''' Jennifer Medel
Lillie is the resident bookworm, highly knowledgeable about Pokémon from her studies, but terrified by the thought of touching them due to a deeply rooted trauma she suffered in the past. With the constant support of her friends and their Pokémon, however, she slowly but surely works to overcome her fear.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes related to Lillie]]
* NumberOneDime: She has a stuffed Clefairy doll that's always seen in her room. When going to rescue to Lusamine, she takes it along with her.
* AchillesHeel: Initially, it was touching any Pokémon, even slightly. One tap and the poor girl would freeze up in total fear. Her story arc is slowly learning to get over this, which she eventually accomplishes.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite initially being an AdaptationalWimp in regards to her phobia towards Pokémon in general, she actually officially owns and raises a Pokémon, unlike the games where she is not a Pokémon trainer yet. She even manages to command it effectively to stop Team Rocket, despite her lack of experience. She also plays a major part in saving Ash and Litten from Palossand in [=SM022=], commanding Snowy to use Powder Snow to freeze the giant Palossand. In [=SM030=], she takes it even further by learning to battle with Pikachu's help. At the end of the episode, she even battles ''Ash'' himself, with Ash using Snowy and Lillie using Pikachu. This is taken further in [=SM080=] where she commands both Snowy and a wild Alolan Sandshrew in a battle against a wild Tyranitar and wins.
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the games, she leaves Alola for Kanto to start her journey (at least in the original ''Sun and Moon''). She leaves Alola at the end of the series to [[spoiler:find her missing father.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, she disliked seeing Pokémon get hurt in battles. Here, she's quite enthusiastic about battling, and even does some battling herself, if still cautious about hurting her Pokémon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** In the games, [[spoiler:Lillie's mother is horrifically abusive to her, and Lillie is downright scared enough that she runs away from home, stealing Cosmog in the process. The anime depicts their relationship in a far family-friendlier light, showing that Lusamine is too busy with work to come home too often, and Lillie dislikes both that and her mom treating her like she's still a baby.]]
** Similarly, her brother went and joined Team Skull in the games, leaving her to bear the brunt of Lusamine's abuse. He left instead to get stronger for her sake, and their relationship isn't nearly as strained when the two reunite.
** She and Hau were friends in the games, but the anime presents the two as not knowing each other until the Alola League.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in the early episodes, where she's outright scared and apprehensive about Pokémon, or at least touching them, due to a childhood trauma. Her game version just disliked seeing them get hurt in battles. Once she gets ownership of Snowy, she transforms into an AdaptationalBadass.
* AdrenalineMakeover: When [[spoiler:her mother is abducted by Nihilego]], she undergoes her clothing change from the games while this is happening. Unlike the games, though, she regresses back to her usual outfit once that problem has been taken care of.
* AerithAndBob: [[spoiler:Her mother is named Lusamine, her brother is called Gladion, and her father's name is Mohn]], so she has the most typical name out of her family.
* AllLovingHero: Even though Faba tried to kidnap her and erase her memories, kidnapped Nebby, [[spoiler:and got her mother kidnapped by a Nihilego]], she doesn't hold it against him, and accepts his apology when he apologizes to her and Ash.
* AngryCheekPuff: Much like her game counterpart, Lillie puffs her cheeks in a pouty manner, usually when dealing [[spoiler:with her mother]].
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: Amongst the Alola Gang, Lillie is the least experienced with Pokémon on account of her fear. Mallow, Kiawe, Sophocles, and Lana have been trying to slowly help her get used to Pokémon, and when Ash joins, he immediately offers his expertise towards her goal.
* BadassAdorable: Cute? Absolutely! Willing to throw herself in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy while becoming a strategic battle once she undergoes her CharacterDevelopment? Check!
* BadassBookworm: Despite being new to Pokémon training, she is able to think strategically in battle and is willing to throw ''[[GoThroughMe herself]]'' in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy.
* BerserkButton: If there's one thing Lillie absolutely hates, it's her mom treating her like she's still a little girl. Worse, Lusamine being so busy with work means she's been away from home for too long, and isn't aware of how much her daughter has changed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She has no qualms about calling on her Pokémon if she needs to defend herself.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** Lillie looks up to Ash and treats him like another big brother as she would go to him for advice or help.
** She also does hold her biological brother Gladion in high regard, and he's unhesitatingly very protective of her.
* BlatantLies: She isn't scared of Pokémon, she just needs to do a bit more research on them. Then again, she seems fine with Pokémon as long as she isn't touching them.
* BlushStickers: She tends to have these frequently, usually in moments of embarrassment, nervousness, or cuteness. For example, she gets these (and sparkles to boot) when watching Ash eat all of the gang's food to counteract Morelull's LifeDrain.
* ABoyAndHisX: She's very fond of Snowy, and the two became inseparable after the Ice Fox hatched (though it took Lillie a bit of time to get herself to overcome wanting to touch her new partner). Try to harm Snowy, she will unleash her full wrath on you.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Downplayed}}. Lillie is nothing but sweet, polite, and kindhearted to everyone, but she's very temperamental and prissy with [[spoiler:her mother whenever Lusamine]] starts babying her. Understandably, she doesn't want her mom treating her like a child when she hasn't even been home that much to see how Lillie's changed.
* BreakTheCutie: Her adorable demeanor would shatter every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, but it was usually PlayedForLaughs. Then, her brief regression occurs thanks to Nebby, and it's played for anything but.
* TheBusCameBack: Outside of a brief cameo earlier in the series, she made her return in ''Journeys'' [=JN111=].
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Most of her knowledge comes from books rather than actual experience.
* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Alola in the series finale along with Gladion and Lusamine to look for her father, Mohn.
* ButtMonkey:
** In TheStinger for [=SM014=], she is frozen solid by an overly affectionate Snowy. Even with the one Pokémon she ''can'' touch, she can't catch a break.
** Once her phobia is cured, she immediately starts on glomping all the students' Pokémon, setting off some expected chain reactions, such as Lycanroc's painful nuzzling and triggering Turtonator's Shell Trap.
** She is in general more prone to getting caught in the wackier plotlines than Mallow and Lana, such as the IncredibleShrinkingMan plot in [=SM083=] (with AmusingInjuries abound).
* CallingTheOldManOut: Lillie yells at Lusamine about treating her like a baby when she's currently acting even more immature under Nihilego's control.
* CerebusRetcon: Her tendency to freeze up in contact of Pokémon was initially PlayedForLaughs. As the series progresses, however, it is revealed her phobia was caused by [[spoiler: TraumaInducedAmnesia after being caught in the middle of a tussle between Silvally and Nihilego. The sight of Silvally lunging at her left her emotionally scarred, only finding out much later on that it was only protecting her, which gets her over her phobia.]]
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially started off as a shy girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon, but with support from her friends, especially Ash, she decided to take action as she was able to overcome that phobia little by little until it's completely gone.
** She didn't have much of a backbone in standing up to others, unless she arguing with her mother. However, through Ash's influences, Lillie was able to change that as she developed a strong sense of justice and would stand up for what rights.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the games, Lillie was demure and initially evasive due to her agenda, but otherwise quite approachable and serious. Even besides her initial trauma induced phobia, the anime's Lillie is far shyer and a comedic CowardlyLion.
* ColorFailure: This and some panicking were Lillie's typical reactions to touching Pokémon when she still had her phobia.
* CorneredRattlesnake: Though she could command Snowy rather skillfully from the start, her preferred tactic against Team Rocket initially was to retreat. When they finally cornered her, she had Snowy freeze them in ice.
* CowardlyLion: She freaks out if a Pokémon so much as brushes up against her, but she is ''not'' devoid of courage when [[MamaBear Snowy is threatened]]. In fact, the major advances she has made in overcoming her fear have all involved her drive to protect Snowy.
* CowerPower: She hides behind the nearest person whenever she's spooked by a Pokémon, assuming that's an option.
* CurbStompCushion: As she herself admits, she never stood much of a chance in her League battle against Gladion, but she still shows how much she's grown as a trainer by making good use of Snowy's Snow Cloak ability and pulling off a Z-Move.
* CuteBookworm: She reads a lot about Pokémon, despite being afraid of them. As such she doubles as a book-smart gal and is often a CombatCommentator.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She often fumbles during athletic activities, throwing Poké Balls wildly off-target, cowering during a baseball game when the ball flies her way, and failing to jump over a vaulting box.
* CutenessProximity: In spite of her initial inability to touch Pokémon, she is still endeared by them greatly. This shows once she gets over her phobia, and starts glomping all of them in sight.
* TheCutie: A demure little girl with a fairly sweet and somewhat cowardly personality. Her tragic phobia and BigBrotherWorship towards the more experienced classmates also tend to make her endearingly innocent.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SM008=] is about Lillie receiving a Pokémon Egg and learning to be comfortable around it. [=SM014=] is about Lillie bonding with Snowy, the Alolan Vulpix that hatches from the Egg. [=SM030=] is about Lillie working to be comfortable around Ash's Pikachu and learning to battle. [=SM049=] is about Lillie overcoming her fear of touching Pokémon. In [=SM051=], she goes with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne, battling a Totem Kommo-o along the way. In [=SM060=], Lillie and Snowy practice for a Sled Jumping tournament and even though they didn't win, managed to give a spectacular performance. In [=SM080=], she and Snowy battle alongside a wild Alolan Sandshrew against a wild Tyranitar and beat it. Later, the Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash and gives her an Icium Z as thanks.
* DamselInDistress: Tends to get trapped in dangerous scrapes the most out of all the class, most often with Ash saving her:
** Saved from a Salandit by Ash and Hobbes in her first limelight episode.
** The root of her phobia stems from [[spoiler: her getting abducted by Nihilego as a small child, believing Silvally was trying to attack her when it saved her. After Silvally rescues her again from Faba's cover-up attempt in the present day, she realizes her mistake.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: When Team Rocket attacks her upon first seeing her alone with Snowy, she holds her own against them by commanding her new Pokémon. Though she does need Ash's help to save her from a fall, she finishes the job once she recovers and has Snowy freeze Team Rocket in their tracks.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lillie used to be able to touch Pokémon until a mysterious incident at Aether Paradise occurred, though Lillie says that she doesn't remember what happened. It's revealed from [=SM047=] through [=SM049=] that she was attacked by an Ultra Beast (specifically, Nihilego), but rescued by the Silvally that Gladion would later call his own. However, the sight of Silvally lunging at her left her traumatized, causing her to repress her memory.
* DecompositeCharacter: Some of her game counterpart's traits, such as being taken care of by Professor Kukui, go towards Ash.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Lillie freezes in fear if a Pokémon touches her. After getting Snowy, she is able to fight this reaction. [[spoiler:Once she fully remembers her past, her fear vanishes completely]].
* {{Determinator}}:
** Lillie was inspired by Ash's upbeat and determined attitude as he encouraged her to not give up on herself, and because of that she was able to feel comfortable with touching a couple of Pokémon. However, after seeing Gladion's Silvally in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'', Lillie regressed her progress as she could't touch Pokémon again then became depressed about it. Although, in ''Mission: Total Recall!'', Lillie regain her determination when Ash cheered her up as she decided to find answers about her past that were related to her fear of touching Pokémon, which Nebby decided to do for her. Through her determination, Lillie remembered everything from her past and overcame her fear for good then thanked Ash for not giving up on her.
** In ''Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'', Lillie was struggling with her Z-Moves and didn't entirely get Ash's advices. However, determined to not give up, Lillie got what Ash meant as his advices and her strong desire to see her long lost father again helped her perfect her Z-Moves as she became in sync with Snowy.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: True to the source material, though downplayed as she is part of an EnsembleCast but gets the most focus out of anyone besides Ash and seems to be the classmate Ash is closest to.
* DisappearedDad: Her father, Mohn, apparently vanished when she was very young. It turns out he was sucked into an Ultra Wormhole thanks to an accident at the Aether Foundation, which kickstarts Lillie's desire to find him. [[spoiler:In ''Journeys'', she succeeds, finding him out in the middle of the Crown Tundra, albeit with his memories jumbled.]]
* DitzyGenius: Though she is book-smart, she can get a little...out there at times when dealing with practical situations, such as wearing a diving suit just to go fishing, and upon being confronted with a broken bridge in Vast Poni Canyon, jumping to the conclusion that the bridge must be invisible and trying to uncover the path with sand.
* DivingSave: She ends up on the receiving end of one by Ash in [=SM053=], to protect her from [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] attack.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She has one of the most traumatic backstories of any of the main characters, but by ''Journeys'', [[spoiler:she becomes the first of them to have achieved a 100% happy ending -- she finds her father, restores his memories, and returns home with all her family issues fully resolved, even making peace with the very species that had been the source of her trauma to begin with]].
* EggSitting: She has to raise an egg together with Ash as part of a class lesson. She ends up having to protect it from a hungry Salandit. After those events, Lillie decided to take care of the egg more then her classmates did until it hatched.
* EncyclopaediacKnowledge: Her knowledge of Pokémon rivals that of ''Rotom Dex'', much to his chagrin, as Lillie is quick to spout out information on new Pokémon the group encounter before Rotom can.
* EveryonesBabySister: Her relationship is often akin to this with the other students, due to her rookie status and phobia in early episodes and her [[DamselInDistress larger track record for getting into danger]]. On different occasions, Mallow and Ash have insisted on following Lillie home to make sure nothing happens to her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has her makeover when Lusamine is kidnapped by Nihilego, signifying her resolve to save her. Unlike in the games, though, this makeover is not permanent and Lillie returns to her original appearance after Lusamine is saved. As a variation of this, she often ties her hair back this way whenever she goes back into determined mode, even if the "transformation" isn't always successful.
* FaceYourFears: This is Lillie's SeriesGoal at the start of ''Sun and Moon'', as she's eager to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon and bond with them like she wants to. With Ash and friends' help, she succeeds.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: She shares the same eye color as her mother, brother, and father.
* FireForgedFriends:
** In a way. Protecting Snowy's egg from Salandit, [[MythologyGag in much the same way the]] PlayerCharacter [[GoThroughMe protects Cosmog/"Nebby" in the game]], allows her to bond with it.
** This is actually a plot point in [=SM030=], where Lillie realizes that the reason Ash can work so well with Pokémon is because they battle by each others' side. She quickly forms this bond with Pikachu, battling and defeating her butler once she started working with the electric mouse.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Lillie and her mother, Lusamine, initially have a strained relationship with each other because Lusamine is always busy with her work, which causes her to not have time for Lillie and Gladion. Lillie also didn't like that her mother does things without considering her feelings. However, in "Mission: Total Recall!", Lillie forgives her mother after Lusamine realizes how much her work got in the way of spending time with her family and how she failed to notice the trauma Lillie went through as a child that caused her fear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In [=SM008=], when Ash asks her happened to make her unable to touch Pokémon, she says that she doesn't know, and Hobbes says that she was living with her mother when the incident occurred. In [=SM047=], it's revealed that, indeed, she was at Aether Paradise when she was attacked by a Nihilego, resulting in TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Both Hobbes and Gladion say she was this before her childhood trauma that caused her fear of touching Pokémon. Lillie is like that again once she's freed of her phobia.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Magearna she gets after fixing it happens to be a very rare ''shiny'' variation. Lucky for her, since Magearna is shiny locked in all the games it's obtainable in, and can only be obtained in its normal form.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She owns a Clefairy doll that she sleeps with.
* GrewASpine:
** In "Family Determination!", after listening to Ash stating that sometimes you can't do everything alone, Lillie realizes that he is right and finds the courage to stand up to Gladion. Lillie tells Gladion that they have a better chance of getting their mother back from Ultra Space if they have their friends go with them on their quest. Not only is he surprised that his little sister just stood up to him, but he also understands what she and Ash are talking about.
** In "10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!", Lillie finally tells her mother, who is being controlled by Nihilego, how she feels about her treatment of her.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and is the most pure-hearted of the group.
* HeroesLoveDogs: A younger Lillie was shown holding a Lillipup in her arms, and in the present day, she has her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, and has shown to be totally comfortable sitting right next to Rockruff in both [=SM012=] and [=SM013=] despite her usual fear of Pokémon.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing Gladion's Silvally since her childhood, Lillie work in getting over her fear of touching Pokémon was setback a great deal and she became depressed about it. Despite her friends efforts in cheering her up and tried to touch Snowy, Lillie was still down but pulled herself together with Ash's help as she decided to find answers to her past and end her fear for good. After remembering her past, Lillie succeeded in ending her fear once and for all then not only happily embraced her Pokémon friends but also thanks Ash for never giving up on her.
* HeroicSacrifice: Well, she sure tried when she ''leapt off a high wall'' to save Snowy in [=SM014=] after it was knocked off by a Sludge Bomb from Mareanie. Rowlet saved both with Leafage.
* HeroWorshipper: Like her games incarnation with the player character, Lillie sometimes demonstrates some admiration for Ash. In the series finale, Lillie has a flashback to some of the moments she shared with him, as her boat is leaving, runs to the back of it to thank Ash for everything he did to help her in bonding, touching and loving Pokémon all over again.
* AnIcePerson: She owns the Ice Type Alolan Vulpix (which she named Snowy).
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight:
** Brings out her Clefairy doll to remind her mom's Clefable of their bond. With the following CooldownHug, even risking a point-blank Dazzling Gleam, Clefable returns to its senses.
** She tries to get through to her mother in the next episode by calling her out on her behavior and telling her she's stronger than that. It briefly works, but Nihilego's control is too strong.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to her, Ash and Sophocles in [=SM083=] as a result of a botched experiment by Faba. Thankfully the transformation wasn't stable and they shortly grew back.
* TheIngenue: She has some BrokenBird shades due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, but she is definitely one of Ash's most sweet and delicate companions which, combined with her BigBrotherWorship of him, makes him and the others rather protective of her.
* IronicFear: Given the fact she lives in the Alola Region, which emphasizes the bond between people and Pokémon, her fear of Pokémon is kind of this.
* JerkassToOne: Despite her sweet demeanor, the one person Lillie does not speak to very well is her own mother, on account of her being too busy with the Aether Foundation to spend time at home.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the games, it's considered a huge plot twist that Lusamine and Gladion are related to her, being her mother and brother, but the anime reveals this fact relatively early on in [=SM008=].
* {{Leitmotif}}: Starting from the second season, her diary recaps and some other key scenes involving her character are accompanied by arrangements of her piano theme from ''Pokemon Sun and Moon''.
* LetsGetDangerous: Lillie is the meekest of the students and doesn't regularly battle or partake in outside competitions, but her knowledge of Pokémon types and attacks make her resourceful when forced into combat, commanding Snowy and even some of the others' Pokémon rather fluently.
* LittleMissBadass: Lillie develop this as she grew in her battling skills and rallies on what she has seen from Ash's battles as her source of inspiration.
* TheLoad: Lillie only seldom battles, even if she is semi-competent when forced to, and for the first dozen or so episodes didn't even have a Pokémon herself due to her phobia of touching them and Snowy having not yet hatched.
* LovableCoward: Even besides her phobia of Pokémon, she seems to have a rather jittery disposition. She cowered while playing catcher in a baseball game. She can become a CowardlyLion at any point, however.
* MamaBear: Despite being afraid of it at first, Lillie manages to save a Pokémon egg from being a Salandit's lunch. And when she finds that she still has trouble touching the Vulpix that newly hatched from the egg, she eventually gets over ''that'' by nearly performing a HeroicSacrifice to save it from a fall. She's also protective of Nebby despite Ash being its caretaker; she's the one who named it, writes in her diary that she's concerned about it, and refuses to stay behind when Ash and Gladion go to rescue it from Faba.
* MirrorCharacter: Largely an introverted SmartGirl in contrast to the energetic but BookDumb Ash, but she does share his dorky qualities and [[DitzyGenius occasionally ditzy mindset]]. She has also shown a similarly extreme affection for Pokémon at risk to her own well-being, especially when her phobia no longer restrains her.
* MisplacedRetribution: While she doesn't personally act on the event, subconsciously, Silvally was the reason she had a phobia of touching Pokémon after a traumatic event left her with the impression that it was attacking ''her''. In reality, Silvally was trying to attack the Nihilego which was trying to abduct her.
* TheMedic: Shows medical abilities when the students' Pokémon suffer serious injuries. Also tends to take this role in Ultra Guardian missions.
* MythologyGag:
** She carries bags of repel with her when the group goes camping. In the games, she had plenty of the stuff to spare, though this time it's because she doesn't want to have all the Pokémon crawling on her in the middle of the night.
** Lillie is the one who nicknames Nebby. In the games, Nebby is her travel companion, having nicknamed it herself.
* NaiveNewcomer: She was the newest member of the class before Ash came along. This is best shown in [=SM065=], where she and Ash are the only ones who don't already know Ilima.
* NiceGirl: Lillie is incredibly sweet natured and demure, and does everything in her power to convey her love for Pokémon despite her phobia. She also tends to be one of few who treats Ash's usual IronButtMonkey role with concern.
* TheNicknamer: She nicknamed the Vulpix she is caring for (Snowy), even before it hatched. She is also the one to name Nebby.
* {{Ojou}}: Her servants refer to her as "Ojou-sama".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ash notes that she's a '''lot''' more assertive towards her mother than she normally is.
* OlympusMons: She ends up in the possession of Magearna, a Mythical Pokémon.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She eventually takes ownership of a Shiny Magearna, a partial Fairy Type.
* ParentalNeglect: Ever since Mohn disappeared, Lusamine has been busy trying to run Aether Paradise, and isn't around for Lillie as much. While Lusamine does try to make time to be with Lillie, the gap is too much to start with and Lillie doesn't want her around anyway, not helped by Lusamine being overly affectionate in those rare moments of togetherness.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink, while Ash's is dark blue.
* PinkHeroine: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of the students are very nurturing towards her due to her phobia and rookie status as a trainer. Her brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], Mallow and later Ash are all especially protective of her.
* RecapByAudit: A few episodes had her recap the events of the previous one while writing in her diary.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Runs off with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island in an attempt to save their mother.]]
* ShipTease: Lillie enjoys Ash's company and sees him as a [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]]. In ''Bright Lights, Big Changes!'', Lillie went to comfort and talk to Ash after he had a fallout with Rotom Dex as she told him that he should talk things out with it, which he agreed.
* ShrinkingViolet: {{Downplayed}} compared to her game counterpart. She's still close with her classmates, but she's a bit more nervous and withdrawn compared to the rest of them on account of her fear of Pokémon.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Subverted; she does change into her "Z-Powered" outfit and refers to it as such, but after her mother is saved, she goes back to wearing her original outfit. She returns to wearing it during the Alola League tournament.
* TheSmartGal: Despite her fear of Pokémon, her knowledge of them is encyclopedic, through this trait is downplayed after Rotom Dex joins the group. She returns to this role in the Ultra Guardian missions where she is often TheStrategist.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Downplayed. True to the source material, she's the "designated female companion" of the anime, much like Serena, Iris, Dawn, May, and Misty. She gets more focus than the other classmates themselves, but that doesn't mean the series draws focus away from Ash any more than it did with the other female companions.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The [=RotomDex=] notes the strong similarity between Lillie and her mother Lusamine.
* {{Squee}}: Along with Mallow and Lana, this is her reaction to [[spoiler:the news that Kukui and Burnet were getting married.]]
* TakeOurWordForIt: She makes a funny face in order to (successfully) calm Nebby down, but the audience doesn't get a chance to see it.
* TearsOfJoy: When Lusamine is rescued and alive.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Lillie had to completely rekindle the roots of her phobia and cure it on her own (with some help from her classmates of the same age). It was actually Lampshaded during a massive calling out that Lusamine did ''absolutely nothing'' to get to the bottom of her daughter's emotional scars.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: Faba was hoping Lillie's memory loss of his experiment would stick, as it was rooted from a blunder of his when experimenting with Ultra Space transport. When she comes too close to jarring her memory, later on, he resorts to trying to forcibly wipe her mind clean.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Mallow and Lana's tomboys. She's the more feminine of the three, wears more frilly outfits compared to them, and tends to be into more feminine things like stuffed animals. Mallow is a SupremeChef who dresses in a {{Shorttank}} outfit and tends to be more outgoing, while Lana dresses in fishing gear and has a ''very'' dark sense of humor. Her voice is also audibly more feminine compared to Mallow's and Lana's.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she finally got her own Pokémon, she very quickly took to commanding it in dangerous situations and is able to fend off Team Rocket almost entirely on her own. Later, she gets an Icium Z from an Alolan Sandslash as thanks for helping it defeat a wild Tyranitar that was threatening its home.
** She inherits her father's Z-Ring in [=SM116=], though doesn't quite have the training to pull off a Subzero Slammer.
** She masters Subzero Slammer in [=SM127=] after receiving advice from Ash.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: Upon overcoming her fear of Pokémon, Lillie's nervousness and shyness dissipated, allowing her to become far more outgoing.
* TownGirls: The femme to Mallow's butch and Lana's neither.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The incident that triggered her fear of Pokémon as a child was so traumatic that it caused her to suppress her memory. She partly recovers it in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'' when she remembers Silvally lunging at her, thinking it was trying to attack her, which sends her back to square one when she encounters it again as a Type: Null. After it breaks its mask and saves her from Faba in the following episode, however, she fully remembers that it actually tried ''saving'' her from a Nihilego; this realization is what lets her overcome her fear
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows this attitude when confronted about her inability to physically touch Pokémon, claiming that she can touch them theoretically.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Her dynamic with her mother Lusamine has shades of this.
* WhenYouComingHomeDad: She's very displeased that Lusamine threw herself into her work at Aether Paradise after Mohn disappeared instead of being a responsible mother. To Lusamine's credit, she does try to make time for her kids when she can, but work keeps getting in the way--not that Lillie appreciates that in the slightest.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of her childhood trauma, she's afraid of making physical contact with any Pokémon, even adorable ones like Pikachu and Bounsweet. Despite this, she is quite fond of them, as shown by her house having a Pokémon battlefield, a playground for other Pokémon to play in, and her room having stuffed animal Pokémon. Once she gets ownership of Snowy's egg, she gradually works through her fear to the point where she can touch Snowy, Pikachu, and a Ride Pokémon. [[spoiler:As of [=SM049=], she overcomes her fear completely]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: When Lillie and Gladion go through Vast Poni Canyon in ''Family Determination!'', Lille twice makes a mistake about the genre she is in by expecting puzzles where there are none:
** At the entrance to the temple, she sees three statues and three symbols on the wall behind the statues and she incorrectly guesses that [[StockVideoGamePuzzle the door is unlocked by moving each statue to the correct symbol]], apparently thinking by AdventureGame logic. Gladion stops her and shows her that 1.) the door isn't locked, and 2.), moving the statues sets off a [[SpikesOfDoom spike trap]].
** They later come to a gap without a bridge, and Lille guesses based on books she read that there is [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade an invisible bridge that she tries to reveal by throwing sand on it]]. Gladion tells her that there is not an invisible bridge and has Silvally jump across the gap while carrying them, then explains that there was a bridge but it fell down, which Lillie didn't recognize the remains of.
* YourSizeMayVary: In the games, she was taller than the player character, and her own older brother [[spoiler:Gladion]], but here, she's noticeably shorter than her brother and roughly the same height as Ash, if not slightly shorter than him.

[[folder:Alolan Vulpix/"Snowy" (Alolan Rokon/"Shiron")]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pokemon_alolan_vulpix.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/EmilyJenness
In [=SM008=], Lillie was given a Pokémon egg to hatch, to help her get over her fear of Pokémon. She named the egg Snowy. In [=SM013=], the egg hatched into an Alolan Vulpix, which she kept the name Snowy for.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Abiding by its downloadable form for the Generation 7 games, Snowy's gender is female.
* BarrierWarrior: Learns how to use Aurora Veil in [=SM060=].
%%* BigEater: Shown to have picked this up from Ash in [=SM030=]'s EndOfEpisodeSilliness.
%%* CanineCompanion: To Lillie.
* CanonImmigrant: Snowy was made a downloadable character via certain promotional events for ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' (albeit labeled merely Vulpix than by nickname).
* ContrivedCoincidence: While being incubated as an egg, Lillie started calling it "Snowy" despite not knowing that it would hatch into an Alolan Vulpix.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is shown on rare occasions.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She originally couldn't even be touched by Ash, but gradually warmed up to him after living with him for a weekend and learning how to battle.
* FireForgedFriends: Lillie and Snowy spend all of [=SM014=] bonding. They get to the point that Lillie ''jumps off a building'' to save Snowy when she's blown off the same roof by Mareanie's Sludge Bomb during a fight with Team Rocket. They were both saved by Rowlet.
* HarmlessFreezing: It accidentally froze Lillie solid with Powder Snow during TheStinger of the Japanese edit of [=SM014=].
* HatesBeingTouched: Snowy freezes Ash when he tries to pet it and is reluctant to play with the other Pokémon until Samson's Vulpix encouraged her to do so. Snowy is fine with being held by Lillie, though. She finally grows comfortable with letting Ash touch her after spending a weekend training and living with him.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Sometimes plays such to balance Lillie's jittery CuteClumsyGirl antics.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-type. In [=SM014=], it's shown to know Powder Snow, It can also use the ice-type Z-Move Subzero Slammer.
* JumpedAtTheCall: When Lillie was officially given Snowy, she got a bit overly excited with a Poké Ball Kukui gave her to catch it and smacked Ash in the head with it. Snowy walked up to the Ball, hit the button with a paw, and caught herself.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: One of the official posters heavily alluded that an Alola Vulpix would become Lillie's partner. The poster was published even before the release of the trailer that revealed a Cosmog was residing in Lillie's infamous bag in the games, resulting in that some people initially speculated that the bag contained an Alola Vulpix.
* LetsGetDangerous: Snowy spends most of her screen time babied by Lillie, though is alarmingly powerful for a newborn. She held her own against the posse of Totem Kommo-o, and despite a hectic first battle with Team Rocket, she ultimately froze the entire squad with one Powder Snow attack in a HeroicSecondWind (to punctuate, this was only two episodes after [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the trio had successfully fainted Pikachu and Rowlet]]).
* LimitBreak: She can use the ice-type Z-move Subzero Slammer.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, "Shiron", comes from combining the word for "white" with the word applied to "rolling": ''koron-koron''. Lillie said right before Snowy hatched that she had taken to rolling her egg around. The second half still applies after hatching, making the name a combination of "white" and Rokon. It roughly translates to "Snowball" in English.
* MundaneUtility: Lillie keeps cool in the hot Alolan climate by carrying Snowy in her arms.
* NoodleIncident: After over a season of using only Powered Snow, [=SM060=] revealed Snowy had learned Hail offscreen.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's an adorable baby fox with white fur. What else did you expect?
* SignatureMon: Though Lillie is associated with Nebby and later gets Magearna, Snowy remains her main Pokémon partner.
* TheSixthRanger: Literally such with the other students' signature Pokémon, having hatched and acquainted herself with the others sometime after Ash and Pikachu had arrived.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Pun aside, unlike the Fire-type Vulpix that hatched after it, Snowy was reluctant to interact with the other Pokémon and even froze Ash when he attempted to pet her. The only person she would be friendly towards is Lillie. Later on, however, it did grow more comfortable around Ash.
* TookALevelInBadass: Received proper battle training from Ash in [=SM030=] and the results show in her more confident personality and battle prowess. By [=SM060=] she has also learned both Hail and Aurora Veil.
* UncattyResemblance: Her white/light blue fur and fluffy tail bear a resemblance to Lillie's white and blue ruffled dress.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Lillie briefly regressed in her fear of touching Pokémon, Snowy remains patiently supportive of her trainer.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: She doesn't battle much, so Powder Snow is the only move she knows, but when she does battle, Lillie can use it resourcefully enough to usually get the job done. Subverted [=SM060=] onwards, where Snowy learns Aurora Veil and is noted to have learned Hail offscreen.

* EleventhHourRanger: Awakens in the penultimate episode of ''Sun and Moon''.
* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel type.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's a shiny Pokémon, but it's one of the ones that players ''can't'' obtain in game due to Magearna being one of the few "shiny-locked" entires. Because the anime has no such restrictions, Lillie is able to get it working and keep it.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy type.

I'm sorry but y'all need to cut down on these Contrasting Sequel Main Character entries. None of these things are legitimate parallels or meaningful opposites, they're just random details that happen to be different.
Deleted line(s) 74 (click to see context) :
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Serena. Both girls are very kind and greatly admired Ash, but Lillie's admiration came from getting to know him when he first came to Alola, as opposed to Serena having admired him since the two first met as children. Serena was a passionate, multi-talented young woman who eventually grows into a skilled Pokémon Performer after working to find a goal in life she could hope to obtain, while Lillie is a shy, intelligent young woman that overcomes a crippling fear to become stronger as both a trainer and a person. Serena had a not-so-implicit crush on Ash, Lillie looked up to Ash as a big brother (though with the usual ShipTease typical of Ash's female companions). Moreover, Serena's partner is a Fire Starter with Psychic as a secondary typing, while Lillie's is an Ice Type that could gain Fairy typing if it chooses to evolve. Both also had a frosty relationship with their mothers, though Serena disliked being forced into following in her mom's footsteps, while Lillie disliked being treated like a kid by her mom despite Lusamine being very busy with work.

Not quite enough to be an example of Book Ends. While all of those things at the end of SM resolve those earlier SM plot threads, they aren't themselves similar enough to qualify as the trope where there needs to be a bit of an Ironic Echo element.

Lillie is the resident bookworm, highly knowledgeable about Pokémon from her studies, but terrified by the thought of touching them due to a deeply rooted trauma she suffered in the past. With the constant support of her friends and their Pokémon, however, she slowly but surely works to overcome her fear.
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:Tropes related to Lillie]]
* NumberOneDime: She has a stuffed Clefairy doll that's always seen in her room. When going to rescue to Lusamine, she takes it along with her.
* AchillesHeel: Initially, it was touching any Pokémon, even slightly. One tap and the poor girl would freeze up in total fear. Her story arc is slowly learning to get over this, which she eventually accomplishes.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite initially being an AdaptationalWimp in regards to her phobia towards Pokémon in general, she actually officially owns and raises a Pokémon, unlike the games where she is not a Pokémon trainer yet. She even manages to command it effectively to stop Team Rocket, despite her lack of experience. She also plays a major part in saving Ash and Litten from Palossand in [=SM022=], commanding Snowy to use Powder Snow to freeze the giant Palossand. In [=SM030=], she takes it even further by learning to battle with Pikachu's help. At the end of the episode, she even battles ''Ash'' himself, with Ash using Snowy and Lillie using Pikachu. This is taken further in [=SM080=] where she commands both Snowy and a wild Alolan Sandshrew in a battle against a wild Tyranitar and wins.
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the games, she leaves Alola for Kanto to start her journey (at least in the original ''Sun and Moon''). She leaves Alola at the end of the series to [[spoiler:find her missing father.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, she disliked seeing Pokémon get hurt in battles. Here, she's quite enthusiastic about battling, and even does some battling herself, if still cautious about hurting her Pokémon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the games, Lillie's mother is horrifically abusive to her, and Lillie is downright scared enough that she runs away from home, stealing Cosmog in the process. The anime depicts their relationship in a far family-friendlier light, showing that Lusamine is too busy with work to come home too often, and Lillie dislikes both that and her mom treating her like she's still a baby.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in the early episodes, where she's outright scared and apprehensive about Pokémon, or at least touching them, due to a childhood trauma. Her game version just disliked seeing them get hurt in battles. Once she gets ownership of Snowy, she transforms into an AdaptationalBadass.
* AdrenalineMakeover: When [[spoiler:her mother is abducted by Nihilego]], she undergoes her clothing change from the games while this is happening. Unlike the games, though, she regresses back to her usual outfit once that problem has been taken care of.
* AllLovingHero: Even though Faba tried to kidnap her and erase her memories, kidnapped Nebby, [[spoiler:and got her mother kidnapped by a Nihilego]], she doesn't hold it against him, and accepts his apology when he apologizes to her and Ash.
* BadassAdorable: Cute? Absolutely! Willing to throw herself in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy while becoming a strategic battle once she undergoes her CharacterDevelopment? Check!
* BadassBookworm: Despite being new to Pokémon training, she is able to think strategically in battle and is willing to throw ''[[GoThroughMe herself]]'' in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy.
* BerserkButton: If there's one thing Lillie absolutely hates, it's her mom treating her like she's still a little girl. Worse, Lusamine being so busy with work means she's been away from home for too long, and isn't aware of how much her daughter has changed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She has no qualms about calling on her Pokémon if she needs to defend herself.
* BookEnds: When first introduced, Lillie was a shy girl who would freeze in terror every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, her father had mysteriously vanished, her mother was too busy with work, and her brother had been away training up his team. Her story ends with her having overcome her fears, her relationship with her mother repaired, her brother back by her side, and [[spoiler:locating her father to bring him and the Pokémon (in fact, the same species that caused her trauma in the first place) who saved him back into her life.]]
* ABoyAndHisX: She's very fond of Snowy, and the two became inseparable after the Ice Fox hatched (though it took Lillie a bit of time to get herself to overcome wanting to touch her new partner). Try to harm Snowy, she will unleash her full wrath on you.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Downplayed}}. Lillie is nothing but sweet, polite, and kindhearted to everyone, but she's very temperamental and prissy with her mother whenever Lusamine starts babying her. Understandably, she doesn't want her mom treating her like a child when she hasn't even been home that much to see how Lillie's changed.
* BreakTheCutie: Her adorable demeanor would shatter every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, but it was usually PlayedForLaughs. Then, her brief regression occurs thanks to Nebby, and it's played for anything but.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** Lillie looks up to Ash and treats him like another big brother as she would go to him for advice or help.
** She also does hold her biological brother Gladion in high regard, and he's unhesitatingly very protective of her.
* BlatantLies: She isn't scared of Pokémon, she just needs to do a bit more research on them. Then again, she seems fine with Pokémon as long as she isn't touching them.
* BlushStickers: Gets these (and sparkles to boot) when watching Ash eat all of the gang's food to counteract Morelull's LifeDrain.
* TheBusCameBack: Outside of a brief cameo earlier in the series, she made her return in ''Journeys during'' [=JN111=].
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Most of her knowledge comes from books rather than actual experience.
* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Alola in the series finale along with Gladion and Lusamine to look for her father, Mohn.
* ButtMonkey:
** In TheStinger for [=SM014=], she is frozen solid by an overly affectionate Snowy. Even with the one Pokémon she ''can'' touch, she can't catch a break.
** Once her phobia is cured, she immediately starts on glomping all the students' Pokémon, setting off some expected chain reactions, such as Lycanroc's painful nuzzling and triggering Turtonator's Shell Trap.
** She is in general more prone to getting caught in the wackier plotlines than Mallow and Lana, such as the IncredibleShrinkingMan plot in [=SM083=] (with AmusingInjuries abound).
* CallingTheOldManOut: Lillie yells at Lusamine about treating her like a baby when she's currently acting even more immature under Nihilego's control.
* CerebusRetcon: Her tendency to freeze up in contact of Pokémon was initially PlayedForLaughs. As the series progresses, however, it is revealed her phobia was caused by [[spoiler: TraumaInducedAmnesia after being caught in the middle of a tussle between Silvally and Nihilego. The sight of Silvally lunging at her left her emotionally scarred, only finding out much later on that it was only protecting her, which gets her over her phobia.]]
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially started off as a shy girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon, but with support from her friends, especially Ash, she decided to take action as she was able to overcome that phobia little by little until it's completely gone.
** She didn't have much of a backbone in standing up to others, unless she arguing with her mother. However, through Ash's influences, Lillie was able to change that as she developed a strong sense of justice and would stand up for what rights.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the games, Lillie was demure and initially evasive due to her agenda, but otherwise quite approachable and serious. Even besides her initial trauma induced phobia, the anime's Lillie is far shyer and a comedic CowardlyLion.
* ColorFailure: This and some panicking were Lillie's typical reactions to touching Pokémon when she still had her phobia.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Serena. Both girls are very kind and greatly admired Ash, but Lillie's admiration came from getting to know him when he first came to Alola, as opposed to Serena having admired him since the two first met as children. Serena was a passionate, multi-talented young woman who eventually grows into a skilled Pokémon Performer after working to find a goal in life she could hope to obtain, while Lillie is a shy, intelligent young woman that overcomes a crippling fear to become stronger as both a trainer and a person. Serena had a not-so-implicit crush on Ash, Lillie looked up to Ash as a big brother (though with the usual ShipTease typical of Ash's female companions). Moreover, Serena's partner is a Fire Starter with Psychic as a secondary typing, while Lillie's is an Ice Type that could gain Fairy typing if it chooses to evolve. Both also had a frosty relationship with their mothers, though Serena disliked being forced into following in her mom's footsteps, while Lillie disliked being treated like a kid by her mom despite Lusamine being very busy with work.
* CorneredRattlesnake: Though she could command Snowy rather skillfully from the start, her preferred tactic against Team Rocket initially was to retreat. When they finally cornered her, she had Snowy freeze them in ice.
* CowardlyLion: She freaks out if a Pokémon so much as brushes up against her, but she is ''not'' devoid of courage when [[MamaBear Snowy is threatened]]. In fact, the major advances she has made in overcoming her fear have all involved her drive to protect Snowy.
* CowerPower: She hides behind the nearest person whenever she's spooked by a Pokémon, assuming that's an option.
* CurbStompCushion: As she herself admits, she never stood much of a chance in her League battle against Gladion, but she still shows how much she's grown as a trainer by making good use of Snowy's Snow Cloak ability and pulling off a Z-Move.
* CuteBookworm: She reads a lot about Pokémon, despite being afraid of them. As such she doubles as a book-smart gal and is often a CombatCommentator.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She often fumbles during athletic activities, throwing Poké Balls wildly off-target, cowering during a baseball game when the ball flies her way, and failing to jump over a vaulting box.
* CutenessProximity: In spite of her initial inability to touch Pokémon, she is still endeared by them greatly. This shows once she gets over her phobia, and starts glomping all of them in sight.
* TheCutie: A demure little girl with a fairly sweet and somewhat cowardly personality. Her tragic phobia and BigBrotherWorship towards the more experienced classmates also tend to make her endearingly innocent.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SM008=] is about Lillie receiving a Pokémon Egg and learning to be comfortable around it. [=SM014=] is about Lillie bonding with Snowy, the Alolan Vulpix that hatches from the Egg. [=SM030=] is about Lillie working to be comfortable around Ash's Pikachu and learning to battle. [=SM049=] is about Lillie overcoming her fear of touching Pokémon. In [=SM051=], she goes with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne, battling a Totem Kommo-o along the way. In [=SM060=], Lillie and Snowy practice for a Sled Jumping tournament and even though they didn't win, managed to give a spectacular performance. In [=SM080=], she and Snowy battle alongside a wild Alolan Sandshrew against a wild Tyranitar and beat it. Later, the Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash and gives her an Icium Z as thanks.
* DamselInDistress: Tends to get trapped in dangerous scrapes the most out of all the class, most often with Ash saving her:
** Saved from a Salandit by Ash and Hobbes in her first limelight episode.
** The root of her phobia stems from [[spoiler: her getting abducted by Nihilego as a small child, believing Silvally was trying to attack her when it saved her. After Silvally rescues her again from Faba's cover-up attempt in the present day, she realizes her mistake.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: When Team Rocket attacks her upon first seeing her alone with Snowy, she holds her own against them by commanding her new Pokémon. Though she does need Ash's help to save her from a fall, she finishes the job once she recovers and has Snowy freeze Team Rocket in their tracks.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lillie used to be able to touch Pokémon until a mysterious incident at Aether Paradise occurred, though Lillie says that she doesn't remember what happened. It's revealed from [=SM047=] through [=SM049=] that she was attacked by an Ultra Beast (specifically, Nihilego), but rescued by the Silvally that Gladion would later call his own. However, the sight of Silvally lunging at her left her traumatized, causing her to repress her memory.
* DecompositeCharacter: Some of her game counterpart's traits, such as being taken care of by Professor Kukui, go towards Ash.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Lillie freezes in fear if a Pokémon touches her. After getting Snowy, she is able to fight this reaction. [[spoiler:Once she fully remembers her past, her fear vanishes completely]].
* {{Determinator}}:
** Lillie was inspired by Ash's upbeat and determined attitude as he encouraged her to not give up on herself, and because of that she was able to feel comfortable with touching a couple of Pokémon. However, after seeing Gladion's Silvally in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'', Lillie regressed her progress as she could't touch Pokémon again then became depressed about it. Although, in ''Mission: Total Recall!'', Lillie regain her determination when Ash cheered her up as she decided to find answers about her past that were related to her fear of touching Pokémon, which Nebby decided to do for her. Through her determination, Lillie remembered everything from her past and overcame her fear for good then thanked Ash for not giving up on her.
** In ''Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'', Lillie was struggling with her Z-Moves and didn't entirely get Ash's advices. However, determined to not give up, Lillie got what Ash meant as his advices and her strong desire to see her long lost father again helped her perfect her Z-Moves as she became in sync with Snowy.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: True to the source material, though downplayed as she is part of an EnsembleCast but gets the most focus out of anyone besides Ash and seems to be the classmate Ash is closest to.
* DitzyGenius: Though she is book-smart, she can get a little...out there at times when dealing with practical situations, such as wearing a diving suit just to go fishing, and upon being confronted with a broken bridge in Vast Poni Canyon, jumping to the conclusion that the bridge must be invisible and trying to uncover the path with sand.
* DivingSave: She ends up on the receiving end of one by Ash in [=SM053=], to protect her from [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] attack.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She has one of the most traumatic backstories of any of the main characters, but by ''Journeys'', [[spoiler:she becomes the first of them to have achieved a 100% happy ending -- she finds her father, restores his memories, and returns home with all her family issues fully resolved, even making peace with the very species that had been the source of her trauma to begin with]].
* EggSitting: She has to raise an egg together with Ash as part of a class lesson. She ends up having to protect it from a hungry Salandit. After those events, Lillie decided to take care of the egg more then her classmates did until it hatched.
* EncyclopaediacKnowledge: Her knowledge of Pokémon rivals that of ''Rotom Dex'', much to his chagrin, as Lillie is quick to spout out information on new Pokémon the group encounter before Rotom can.
* EveryonesBabySister: Her relationship is often akin to this with the other students, due to her rookie status and phobia in early episodes and her [[DamselInDistress larger track record for getting into danger]]. On different occasions, Mallow and Ash have insisted on following Lillie home to make sure nothing happens to her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has her makeover when Lusamine is kidnapped by Nihilego, signifying her resolve to save her. Unlike in the games, though, this makeover is not permanent and Lillie returns to her original appearance after Lusamine is saved. As a variation of this, she often ties her hair back this way whenever she goes back into determined mode, even if the "transformation" isn't always successful.
* FireForgedFriends:
** In a way. Protecting Snowy's egg from Salandit, [[MythologyGag in much the same way the]] PlayerCharacter [[GoThroughMe protects Cosmog/"Nebby" in the game]], allows her to bond with it.
** This is actually a plot point in [=SM030=], where Lillie realizes that the reason Ash can work so well with Pokémon is because they battle by each others' side. She quickly forms this bond with Pikachu, battling and defeating her butler once she started working with the electric mouse.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Lillie and her mother, Lusamine, initially have a strained relationship with each other because Lusamine is always busy with her work, which causes her to not have time for Lillie and Gladion. Lillie also didn't like that her mother does things without considering her feelings. However, in "Mission: Total Recall!", Lillie forgives her mother after Lusamine realizes how much her work got in the way of spending time with her family and how she failed to notice the trauma Lillie went through as a child that caused her fear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In [=SM008=], when Ash asks her happened to make her unable to touch Pokémon, she says that she doesn't know, and Hobbes says that she was living with her mother when the incident occurred. In [=SM047=], it's revealed that, indeed, she was at Aether Paradise when she was attacked by a Nihilego, resulting in TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Both Hobbes and Gladion say she was this before her childhood trauma that caused her fear of touching Pokémon. Lillie is like that again once she's freed of her phobia.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Magearna she gets after fixing it happens to be a very rare ''shiny'' variation. Lucky for her, since Magearna is shiny locked in all the games it's obtainable in, and can only be obtained in its normal form.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She owns a Clefairy doll that she sleeps with.
* GrewASpine:
** In "Family Determination!", after listening to Ash stating that sometimes you can't do everything alone, Lillie realizes that he is right and finds the courage to stand up to Gladion. Lillie tells Gladion that they have a better chance of getting their mother back from Ultra Space if they have their friends go with them on their quest. Not only is he surprised that his little sister just stood up to him, but he also understands what she and Ash are talking about.
** In "10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!", Lillie finally tells her mother, who is being controlled by Nihilego, how she feels about her treatment of her.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and is the most pure-hearted of the group.
* HeroesLoveDogs: A younger Lillie was shown holding a Lillipup in her arms, and in the present day, she has her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, and has shown to be totally comfortable sitting right next to Rockruff in both [=SM012=] and [=SM013=] despite her usual fear of Pokémon.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing Gladion's Silvally since her childhood, Lillie work in getting over her fear of touching Pokémon was setback a great deal and she became depressed about it. Despite her friends efforts in cheering her up and tried to touch Snowy, Lillie was still down but pulled herself together with Ash's help as she decided to find answers to her past and end her fear for good. After remembering her past, Lillie succeeded in ending her fear once and for all then not only happily embraced her Pokémon friends but also thanks Ash for never giving up on her.
* HeroicSacrifice: Well, she sure tried when she ''leapt off a high wall'' to save Snowy in [=SM014=] after it was knocked off by a Sludge Bomb from Mareanie. Rowlet saved both with Leafage.
* HeroWorshipper: Like her games incarnation with the player character, Lillie sometimes demonstrates some admiration for Ash. In the series finale, Lillie has a flashback to some of the moments she shared with him, as her boat is leaving, runs to the back of it to thank Ash for everything he did to help her in bonding, touching and loving Pokémon all over again.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight:
** Brings out her Clefairy doll to remind her mom's Clefable of their bond. With the following CooldownHug, even risking a point-blank Dazzling Gleam, Clefable returns to its senses.
** She tries to get through to her mother in the next episode by calling her out on her behavior and telling her she's stronger than that. It briefly works, but Nihilego's control is too strong.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to her, Ash and Sophocles in [=SM083=] as a result of a botched experiment by Faba. Thankfully the transformation wasn't stable and they shortly grew back.
* TheIngenue: She has some BrokenBird shades due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, but she is definitely one of Ash's most sweet and delicate companions which, combined with her BigBrotherWorship of him, makes him and the others rather protective of her.
* IronicFear: Given the fact she lives in the Alola Region, which emphasizes the bond between people and Pokémon, her fear of Pokémon is kind of this.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the games, it's considered a huge plot twist that Lusamine and Gladion are related to her, being her mother and brother, but the anime reveals this fact relatively early on in [=SM008=].
* {{Leitmotif}}: Starting from the second season, her diary recaps and some other key scenes involving her character are accompanied by arrangements of her piano theme from ''Pokemon Sun and Moon''.
* LetsGetDangerous: Lillie is the meekest of the students and doesn't regularly battle or partake in outside competitions, but her knowledge of Pokémon types and attacks make her resourceful when forced into combat, commanding Snowy and even some of the others' Pokémon rather fluently.
* LittleMissBadass: Lillie develop this as she grew in her battling skills and rallies on what she has seen from Ash's battles as her source of inspiration.
* TheLoad: Lillie only seldom battles, even if she is semi-competent when forced to, and for the first dozen or so episodes didn't even have a Pokémon herself due to her phobia of touching them and Snowy having not yet hatched.
* LovableCoward: Even besides her phobia of Pokémon, she seems to have a rather jittery disposition. She cowered while playing catcher in a baseball game. She can become a CowardlyLion at any point, however.
* MamaBear: Despite being afraid of it at first, Lillie manages to save a Pokémon egg from being a Salandit's lunch. And when she finds that she still has trouble touching the Vulpix that newly hatched from the egg, she eventually gets over ''that'' by nearly performing a HeroicSacrifice to save it from a fall. She's also protective of Nebby despite Ash being its caretaker; she's the one who named it, writes in her diary that she's concerned about it, and refuses to stay behind when Ash and Gladion go to rescue it from Faba.
* MirrorCharacter: Largely an introverted SmartGirl in contrast to the energetic but BookDumb Ash, but she does share his dorky qualities and [[DitzyGenius occasionally ditzy mindset]]. She has also shown a similarly extreme affection for Pokémon at risk to her own well-being, especially when her phobia no longer restrains her.
* MisplacedRetribution: While she doesn't personally act on the event, subconsciously, Silvally was the reason she had a phobia of touching Pokémon after a traumatic event left her with the impression that it was attacking ''her''. In reality, Silvally was trying to attack the Nihilego which was trying to abduct her.
* TheMedic: Shows medical abilities when the students' Pokémon suffer serious injuries. Also tends to take this role in Ultra Guardian missions.
* MythologyGag: Lillie is the one who nicknames Nebby. In the games, Nebby is her travel companion, having nicknamed it herself.
* NaiveNewcomer: She was the newest member of the class before Ash came along. This is best shown in [=SM065=], where she and Ash are the only ones who don't already know Ilima.
* NiceGirl: Lillie is incredibly sweet natured and demure, and does everything in her power to convey her love for Pokémon despite her phobia. She also tends to be one of few who treats Ash's usual IronButtMonkey role with concern.
* TheNicknamer: She nicknamed the Vulpix she is caring for (Snowy), even before it hatched. She is also the one to name Nebby.
* {{Ojou}}: Her servants refer to her as "Ojou-sama".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ash notes that she's a '''lot''' more assertive towards her mother than she normally is.
* ParentalNeglect: Ever since Mohn disappeared, Lusamine has been busy trying to run Aether Paradise, and isn't around for Lillie as much. While Lusamine does try to make time to be with Lillie, the gap is too much to start with and Lillie doesn't want her around anyway, not helped by Lusamine being overly affectionate in those rare moments of togetherness.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink, while Ash's is dark blue.
* PinkHeroine: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of the students are very nurturing towards her due to her phobia and rookie status as a trainer. Her brother Gladion, Mallow and later Ash are all especially protective of her.
* RecapByAudit: A few episodes had her recap the events of the previous one while writing in her diary.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Runs off with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island in an attempt to save their mother.]]
* ShipTease: Lillie enjoys Ash's company and sees him as a [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]]. In ''Bright Lights, Big Changes!'', Lillie went to comfort and talk to Ash after he had a fallout with Rotom Dex as she told him that he should talk things out with it, which he agreed.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Subverted; she does change into her "Z-Powered" outfit and refers to it as such, but after her mother is saved, she goes back to wearing her original outfit. She returns to wearing it during the Alola League tournament.
* TheSmartGal: Despite her fear of Pokémon, her knowledge of them is encyclopedic, through this trait is downplayed after Rotom Dex joins the group. She returns to this role in the Ultra Guardian missions where she is often TheStrategist.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Downplayed. True to the source material, she's the "designated female companion" of the anime, much like Serena, Iris, Dawn, May, and Misty. She gets more focus than the other classmates themselves, but that doesn't mean the series draws focus away from Ash any more than it did with the other female companions.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The [=RotomDex=] notes the strong similarity between Lillie and her mother Lusamine.
* {{Squee}}: Along with Mallow and Lana, this is her reaction to [[spoiler:the news that Kukui and Burnet were getting married.]]
* TakeOurWordForIt: She makes a funny face in order to (successfully) calm Nebby down, but the audience doesn't get a chance to see it.
* TearsOfJoy: When Lusamine is rescued and alive.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Lillie had to completely rekindle the roots of her phobia and cure it on her own (with some help from her classmates of the same age). It was actually Lampshaded during a massive calling out that Lusamine did ''absolutely nothing'' to get to the bottom of her daughter's emotional scars.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: Faba was hoping Lillie's memory loss of his experiment would stick, as it was rooted from a blunder of his when experimenting with Ultra Space transport. When she comes too close to jarring her memory, later on, he resorts to trying to forcibly wipe her mind clean.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Mallow and Lana's tomboys. She's the more feminine of the three, wears more frilly outfits compared to them, and tends to be into more feminine things like stuffed animals. Mallow is a SupremeChef who dresses in a {{Shorttank}} outfit and tends to be more outgoing, while Lana dresses in fishing gear and has a ''very'' dark sense of humor. Her voice is also audibly more feminine compared to Mallow's and Lana's.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she finally got her own Pokémon, she very quickly took to commanding it in dangerous situations and is able to fend off Team Rocket almost entirely on her own. Later, she gets an Icium Z from an Alolan Sandslash as thanks for helping it defeat a wild Tyranitar that was threatening its home.
** She inherits her father's Z-Ring in [=SM116=], though doesn't quite have the training to pull off a Subzero Slammer.
** She masters Subzero Slammer in [=SM127=] after receiving advice from Ash.
* TownGirls: The femme to Mallow's butch and Lana's neither.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The incident that triggered her fear of Pokémon as a child was so traumatic that it caused her to suppress her memory. She partly recovers it in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'' when she remembers Silvally lunging at her, thinking it was trying to attack her, which sends her back to square one when she encounters it again as a Type: Null. After it breaks its mask and saves her from Faba in the following episode, however, she fully remembers that it actually tried ''saving'' her from a Nihilego; this realization is what lets her overcome her fear
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows this attitude when confronted about her inability to physically touch Pokémon, claiming that she can touch them theoretically.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Her dynamic with her mother Lusamine has shades of this.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of her childhood trauma, she's afraid of making physical contact with any Pokémon, even adorable ones like Pikachu and Bounsweet. Despite this, she is quite fond of them, as shown by her house having a Pokémon battlefield, a playground for other Pokémon to play in, and her room having stuffed animal Pokémon. Once she gets ownership of Snowy's egg, she gradually works through her fear to the point where she can touch Snowy, Pikachu, and a Ride Pokémon. [[spoiler:As of [=SM049=], she overcomes her fear completely]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: When Lillie and Gladion go through Vast Poni Canyon in ''Family Determination!'', Lille twice makes a mistake about the genre she is in by expecting puzzles where there are none:
** At the entrance to the temple, she sees three statues and three symbols on the wall behind the statues and she incorrectly guesses that [[StockVideoGamePuzzle the door is unlocked by moving each statue to the correct symbol]], apparently thinking by AdventureGame logic. Gladion stops her and shows her that 1.) the door isn't locked, and 2.), moving the statues sets off a [[SpikesOfDoom spike trap]].
** They later come to a gap without a bridge, and Lille guesses based on books she read that there is [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade an invisible bridge that she tries to reveal by throwing sand on it]]. Gladion tells her that there is not an invisible bridge and has Silvally jump across the gap while carrying them, then explains that there was a bridge but it fell down, which Lillie didn't recognize the remains of.
* YourSizeMayVary: In the games, she was taller than the player character, and her own older brother Gladion, but here, she's noticeably shorter than her brother and roughly the same height as Ash, if not slightly shorter than him.

!!Alolan Vulpix/"Snowy" (Alolan Rokon/"Shiron")
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pokemon_alolan_vulpix.png]]
->'''Voiced in Japanese by:''' Creator/ReinaUeda
->'''Voiced in English by:''' Creator/EmilyJenness
In [=SM008=], Lillie was given a Pokémon egg to hatch, to help her get over her fear of Pokémon. She named the egg Snowy. In [=SM013=], the egg hatched into an Alolan Vulpix, which she kept the name Snowy for.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: Abiding by its downloadable form for the Generation 7 games, Snowy's gender is female.
* BarrierWarrior: Learns how to use Aurora Veil in [=SM060=].
%%* BigEater: Shown to have picked this up from Ash in [=SM030=]'s EndOfEpisodeSilliness.
%%* CanineCompanion: To Lillie.
* CanonImmigrant: Snowy was made a downloadable character via certain promotional events for ''VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon'' (albeit labeled merely Vulpix than by nickname).
* ContrivedCoincidence: While being incubated as an egg, Lillie started calling it "Snowy" despite not knowing that it would hatch into an Alolan Vulpix.
* CuteLittleFangs: One is shown on rare occasions.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She originally couldn't even be touched by Ash, but gradually warmed up to him after living with him for a weekend and learning how to battle.
* FireForgedFriends: Lillie and Snowy spend all of [=SM014=] bonding. They get to the point that Lillie ''jumps off a building'' to save Snowy when she's blown off the same roof by Mareanie's Sludge Bomb during a fight with Team Rocket. They were both saved by Rowlet.
* HarmlessFreezing: It accidentally froze Lillie solid with Powder Snow during TheStinger of the Japanese edit of [=SM014=].
* HatesBeingTouched: Snowy freezes Ash when he tries to pet it and is reluctant to play with the other Pokémon until Samson's Vulpix encouraged her to do so. Snowy is fine with being held by Lillie, though. She finally grows comfortable with letting Ash touch her after spending a weekend training and living with him.
* HyperCompetentSidekick: Sometimes plays such to balance Lillie's jittery CuteClumsyGirl antics.
* AnIcePerson: Ice-type. In [=SM014=], it's shown to know Powder Snow, It can also use the ice-type Z-Move Subzero Slammer.
* JumpedAtTheCall: When Lillie was officially given Snowy, she got a bit overly excited with a Poké Ball Kukui gave her to catch it and smacked Ash in the head with it. Snowy walked up to the Ball, hit the button with a paw, and caught herself.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: One of the official posters heavily alluded that an Alola Vulpix would become Lillie's partner. The poster was published even before the release of the trailer that revealed a Cosmog was residing in Lillie's infamous bag in the games, resulting in that some people initially speculated that the bag contained an Alola Vulpix.
* LetsGetDangerous: Snowy spends most of her screen time babied by Lillie, though is alarmingly powerful for a newborn. She held her own against the posse of Totem Kommo-o, and despite a hectic first battle with Team Rocket, she ultimately froze the entire squad with one Powder Snow attack in a HeroicSecondWind (to punctuate, this was only two episodes after [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the trio had successfully fainted Pikachu and Rowlet]]).
* LimitBreak: She can use the ice-type Z-move Subzero Slammer.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, "Shiron", comes from combining the word for "white" with the word applied to "rolling": ''koron-koron''. Lillie said right before Snowy hatched that she had taken to rolling her egg around. The second half still applies after hatching, making the name a combination of "white" and Rokon. It roughly translates to "Snowball" in English.
* MundaneUtility: Lillie keeps cool in the hot Alolan climate by carrying Snowy in her arms.
* NoodleIncident: After over a season of using only Powered Snow, [=SM060=] revealed Snowy had learned Hail offscreen.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's an adorable baby fox with white fur. What else did you expect?
* SignatureMon: Though Lillie is associated with Nebby and later gets Magearna, Snowy remains her main Pokémon partner.
* TheSixthRanger: Literally such with the other students' signature Pokémon, having hatched and acquainted herself with the others sometime after Ash and Pikachu had arrived.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Pun aside, unlike the Fire-type Vulpix that hatched after it, Snowy was reluctant to interact with the other Pokémon and even froze Ash when he attempted to pet her. The only person she would be friendly towards is Lillie. Later on, however, it did grow more comfortable around Ash.
* TookALevelInBadass: Received proper battle training from Ash in [=SM030=] and the results show in her more confident personality and battle prowess. By [=SM060=] she has also learned both Hail and Aurora Veil.
* UncattyResemblance: Her white/light blue fur and fluffy tail bear a resemblance to Lillie's white and blue ruffled dress.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Lillie briefly regressed in her fear of touching Pokémon, Snowy remains patiently supportive of her trainer.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: She doesn't battle much, so Powder Snow is the only move she knows, but when she does battle, Lillie can use it resourcefully enough to usually get the job done. Subverted [=SM060=] onwards, where Snowy learns Aurora Veil and is noted to have learned Hail offscreen.
!!Magearna
->'''Voiced in by:''' Wakana Minami
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Shows shades of this in the post-credits scene of [=SM145=], as it falls on its face trying to run.
* EleventhHourRanger: Awakens in the penultimate episode of ''Sun and Moon''.
* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel type.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's a shiny Pokémon, but it's one of the ones that players ''can't'' obtain in game due to Magearna being one of the few "shiny-locked" entires. Because the anime has no such restrictions, Lillie is able to get it working and keep it.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy type.
* TragicKeepsake: Of Mohn.

* NumberOneDime: She has a stuffed Clefairy doll that's always seen in her room. When going to rescue to Lusamine, she takes it along with her.
* AchillesHeel: Initially, it was touching any Pokémon, even slightly. One tap and the poor girl would freeze up in total fear. Her story arc is slowly learning to get over this, which she eventually accomplishes.
* AdaptationalBadass: Despite initially being an AdaptationalWimp in regards to her phobia towards Pokémon in general, she actually officially owns and raises a Pokémon, unlike the games where she is not a Pokémon trainer yet. She even manages to command it effectively to stop Team Rocket, despite her lack of experience. She also plays a major part in saving Ash and Litten from Palossand in [=SM022=], commanding Snowy to use Powder Snow to freeze the giant Palossand. In [=SM030=], she takes it even further by learning to battle with Pikachu's help. At the end of the episode, she even battles ''Ash'' himself, with Ash using Snowy and Lillie using Pikachu. This is taken further in [=SM080=] where she commands both Snowy and a wild Alolan Sandshrew in a battle against a wild Tyranitar and wins.
* AdaptationalContextChange: In the games, she leaves Alola for Kanto to start her journey (at least in the original ''Sun and Moon''). She leaves Alola at the end of the series to [[spoiler:find her missing father.]]
* AdaptationPersonalityChange: In the games, she disliked seeing Pokémon get hurt in battles. Here, she's quite enthusiastic about battling, and even does some battling herself, if still cautious about hurting her Pokémon.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the games, Lillie's mother is horrifically abusive to her, and Lillie is downright scared enough that she runs away from home, stealing Cosmog in the process. The anime depicts their relationship in a far family-friendlier light, showing that Lusamine is too busy with work to come home too often, and Lillie dislikes both that and her mom treating her like she's still a baby.
* AdaptationalWimp: At least in the early episodes, where she's outright scared and apprehensive about Pokémon, or at least touching them, due to a childhood trauma. Her game version just disliked seeing them get hurt in battles. Once she gets ownership of Snowy, she transforms into an AdaptationalBadass.
* AdrenalineMakeover: When [[spoiler:her mother is abducted by Nihilego]], she undergoes her clothing change from the games while this is happening. Unlike the games, though, she regresses back to her usual outfit once that problem has been taken care of.
* AllLovingHero: Even though Faba tried to kidnap her and erase her memories, kidnapped Nebby, [[spoiler:and got her mother kidnapped by a Nihilego]], she doesn't hold it against him, and accepts his apology when he apologizes to her and Ash.
* BadassAdorable: Cute? Absolutely! Willing to throw herself in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy while becoming a strategic battle once she undergoes her CharacterDevelopment? Check!
* BadassBookworm: Despite being new to Pokémon training, she is able to think strategically in battle and is willing to throw ''[[GoThroughMe herself]]'' in front of a threat if it means protecting Snowy.
* BerserkButton: If there's one thing Lillie absolutely hates, it's her mom treating her like she's still a little girl. Worse, Lusamine being so busy with work means she's been away from home for too long, and isn't aware of how much her daughter has changed.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: She has no qualms about calling on her Pokémon if she needs to defend herself.
* BookEnds: When first introduced, Lillie was a shy girl who would freeze in terror every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, her father had mysteriously vanished, her mother was too busy with work, and her brother had been away training up his team. Her story ends with her having overcome her fears, her relationship with her mother repaired, her brother back by her side, and [[spoiler:locating her father to bring him and the Pokémon (in fact, the same species that caused her trauma in the first place) who saved him back into her life.]]
* ABoyAndHisX: She's very fond of Snowy, and the two became inseparable after the Ice Fox hatched (though it took Lillie a bit of time to get herself to overcome wanting to touch her new partner). Try to harm Snowy, she will unleash her full wrath on you.
* BrattyHalfPint: {{Downplayed}}. Lillie is nothing but sweet, polite, and kindhearted to everyone, but she's very temperamental and prissy with her mother whenever Lusamine starts babying her. Understandably, she doesn't want her mom treating her like a child when she hasn't even been home that much to see how Lillie's changed.
* BreakTheCutie: Her adorable demeanor would shatter every time a Pokémon so much as brushed up against her, but it was usually PlayedForLaughs. Then, her brief regression occurs thanks to Nebby, and it's played for anything but.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** Lillie looks up to Ash and treats him like another big brother as she would go to him for advice or help.
** She also does hold her biological brother Gladion in high regard, and he's unhesitatingly very protective of her.
* BlatantLies: She isn't scared of Pokémon, she just needs to do a bit more research on them. Then again, she seems fine with Pokémon as long as she isn't touching them.
* BlushStickers: Gets these (and sparkles to boot) when watching Ash eat all of the gang's food to counteract Morelull's LifeDrain.
* TheBusCameBack: Outside of a brief cameo earlier in the series, she made her return in ''Journeys during'' [=JN111=].
* ButIReadABookAboutIt: Most of her knowledge comes from books rather than actual experience.
* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves Alola in the series finale along with Gladion and Lusamine to look for her father, Mohn.
* ButtMonkey:
** In TheStinger for [=SM014=], she is frozen solid by an overly affectionate Snowy. Even with the one Pokémon she ''can'' touch, she can't catch a break.
** Once her phobia is cured, she immediately starts on glomping all the students' Pokémon, setting off some expected chain reactions, such as Lycanroc's painful nuzzling and triggering Turtonator's Shell Trap.
** She is in general more prone to getting caught in the wackier plotlines than Mallow and Lana, such as the IncredibleShrinkingMan plot in [=SM083=] (with AmusingInjuries abound).
* CallingTheOldManOut: Lillie yells at Lusamine about treating her like a baby when she's currently acting even more immature under Nihilego's control.
* CerebusRetcon: Her tendency to freeze up in contact of Pokémon was initially PlayedForLaughs. As the series progresses, however, it is revealed her phobia was caused by [[spoiler: TraumaInducedAmnesia after being caught in the middle of a tussle between Silvally and Nihilego. The sight of Silvally lunging at her left her emotionally scarred, only finding out much later on that it was only protecting her, which gets her over her phobia.]]
* CharacterDevelopment:
** She initially started off as a shy girl who was afraid to touch Pokémon, but with support from her friends, especially Ash, she decided to take action as she was able to overcome that phobia little by little until it's completely gone.
** She didn't have much of a backbone in standing up to others, unless she arguing with her mother. However, through Ash's influences, Lillie was able to change that as she developed a strong sense of justice and would stand up for what rights.
* CharacterExaggeration: In the games, Lillie was demure and initially evasive due to her agenda, but otherwise quite approachable and serious. Even besides her initial trauma induced phobia, the anime's Lillie is far shyer and a comedic CowardlyLion.
* ColorFailure: This and some panicking were Lillie's typical reactions to touching Pokémon when she still had her phobia.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: To Serena. Both girls are very kind and greatly admired Ash, but Lillie's admiration came from getting to know him when he first came to Alola, as opposed to Serena having admired him since the two first met as children. Serena was a passionate, multi-talented young woman who eventually grows into a skilled Pokémon Performer after working to find a goal in life she could hope to obtain, while Lillie is a shy, intelligent young woman that overcomes a crippling fear to become stronger as both a trainer and a person. Serena had a not-so-implicit crush on Ash, Lillie looked up to Ash as a big brother (though with the usual ShipTease typical of Ash's female companions). Moreover, Serena's partner is a Fire Starter with Psychic as a secondary typing, while Lillie's is an Ice Type that could gain Fairy typing if it chooses to evolve. Both also had a frosty relationship with their mothers, though Serena disliked being forced into following in her mom's footsteps, while Lillie disliked being treated like a kid by her mom despite Lusamine being very busy with work.
* CorneredRattlesnake: Though she could command Snowy rather skillfully from the start, her preferred tactic against Team Rocket initially was to retreat. When they finally cornered her, she had Snowy freeze them in ice.
* CowardlyLion: She freaks out if a Pokémon so much as brushes up against her, but she is ''not'' devoid of courage when [[MamaBear Snowy is threatened]]. In fact, the major advances she has made in overcoming her fear have all involved her drive to protect Snowy.
* CowerPower: She hides behind the nearest person whenever she's spooked by a Pokémon, assuming that's an option.
* CurbStompCushion: As she herself admits, she never stood much of a chance in her League battle against Gladion, but she still shows how much she's grown as a trainer by making good use of Snowy's Snow Cloak ability and pulling off a Z-Move.
* CuteBookworm: She reads a lot about Pokémon, despite being afraid of them. As such she doubles as a book-smart gal and is often a CombatCommentator.
* CuteClumsyGirl: She often fumbles during athletic activities, throwing Poké Balls wildly off-target, cowering during a baseball game when the ball flies her way, and failing to jump over a vaulting box.
* CutenessProximity: In spite of her initial inability to touch Pokémon, she is still endeared by them greatly. This shows once she gets over her phobia, and starts glomping all of them in sight.
* TheCutie: A demure little girl with a fairly sweet and somewhat cowardly personality. Her tragic phobia and BigBrotherWorship towards the more experienced classmates also tend to make her endearingly innocent.
* ADayInTheLimelight: [=SM008=] is about Lillie receiving a Pokémon Egg and learning to be comfortable around it. [=SM014=] is about Lillie bonding with Snowy, the Alolan Vulpix that hatches from the Egg. [=SM030=] is about Lillie working to be comfortable around Ash's Pikachu and learning to battle. [=SM049=] is about Lillie overcoming her fear of touching Pokémon. In [=SM051=], she goes with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne, battling a Totem Kommo-o along the way. In [=SM060=], Lillie and Snowy practice for a Sled Jumping tournament and even though they didn't win, managed to give a spectacular performance. In [=SM080=], she and Snowy battle alongside a wild Alolan Sandshrew against a wild Tyranitar and beat it. Later, the Sandshrew evolves into Sandslash and gives her an Icium Z as thanks.
* DamselInDistress: Tends to get trapped in dangerous scrapes the most out of all the class, most often with Ash saving her:
** Saved from a Salandit by Ash and Hobbes in her first limelight episode.
** The root of her phobia stems from [[spoiler: her getting abducted by Nihilego as a small child, believing Silvally was trying to attack her when it saved her. After Silvally rescues her again from Faba's cover-up attempt in the present day, she realizes her mistake.]]
* DamselOutOfDistress: When Team Rocket attacks her upon first seeing her alone with Snowy, she holds her own against them by commanding her new Pokémon. Though she does need Ash's help to save her from a fall, she finishes the job once she recovers and has Snowy freeze Team Rocket in their tracks.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Lillie used to be able to touch Pokémon until a mysterious incident at Aether Paradise occurred, though Lillie says that she doesn't remember what happened. It's revealed from [=SM047=] through [=SM049=] that she was attacked by an Ultra Beast (specifically, Nihilego), but rescued by the Silvally that Gladion would later call his own. However, the sight of Silvally lunging at her left her traumatized, causing her to repress her memory.
* DecompositeCharacter: Some of her game counterpart's traits, such as being taken care of by Professor Kukui, go towards Ash.
* DeerInTheHeadlights: Lillie freezes in fear if a Pokémon touches her. After getting Snowy, she is able to fight this reaction. [[spoiler:Once she fully remembers her past, her fear vanishes completely]].
* {{Determinator}}:
** Lillie was inspired by Ash's upbeat and determined attitude as he encouraged her to not give up on herself, and because of that she was able to feel comfortable with touching a couple of Pokémon. However, after seeing Gladion's Silvally in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'', Lillie regressed her progress as she could't touch Pokémon again then became depressed about it. Although, in ''Mission: Total Recall!'', Lillie regain her determination when Ash cheered her up as she decided to find answers about her past that were related to her fear of touching Pokémon, which Nebby decided to do for her. Through her determination, Lillie remembered everything from her past and overcame her fear for good then thanked Ash for not giving up on her.
** In ''Chasing Memories, Creating Dreams!'', Lillie was struggling with her Z-Moves and didn't entirely get Ash's advices. However, determined to not give up, Lillie got what Ash meant as his advices and her strong desire to see her long lost father again helped her perfect her Z-Moves as she became in sync with Snowy.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: True to the source material, though downplayed as she is part of an EnsembleCast but gets the most focus out of anyone besides Ash and seems to be the classmate Ash is closest to.
* DitzyGenius: Though she is book-smart, she can get a little...out there at times when dealing with practical situations, such as wearing a diving suit just to go fishing, and upon being confronted with a broken bridge in Vast Poni Canyon, jumping to the conclusion that the bridge must be invisible and trying to uncover the path with sand.
* DivingSave: She ends up on the receiving end of one by Ash in [=SM053=], to protect her from [[spoiler:Mother Beast Lusamine's]] attack.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: She has one of the most traumatic backstories of any of the main characters, but by ''Journeys'', [[spoiler:she becomes the first of them to have achieved a 100% happy ending -- she finds her father, restores his memories, and returns home with all her family issues fully resolved, even making peace with the very species that had been the source of her trauma to begin with]].
* EggSitting: She has to raise an egg together with Ash as part of a class lesson. She ends up having to protect it from a hungry Salandit. After those events, Lillie decided to take care of the egg more then her classmates did until it hatched.
* EncyclopaediacKnowledge: Her knowledge of Pokémon rivals that of ''Rotom Dex'', much to his chagrin, as Lillie is quick to spout out information on new Pokémon the group encounter before Rotom can.
* EveryonesBabySister: Her relationship is often akin to this with the other students, due to her rookie status and phobia in early episodes and her [[DamselInDistress larger track record for getting into danger]]. On different occasions, Mallow and Ash have insisted on following Lillie home to make sure nothing happens to her.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: She has her makeover when Lusamine is kidnapped by Nihilego, signifying her resolve to save her. Unlike in the games, though, this makeover is not permanent and Lillie returns to her original appearance after Lusamine is saved. As a variation of this, she often ties her hair back this way whenever she goes back into determined mode, even if the "transformation" isn't always successful.
* FireForgedFriends:
** In a way. Protecting Snowy's egg from Salandit, [[MythologyGag in much the same way the]] PlayerCharacter [[GoThroughMe protects Cosmog/"Nebby" in the game]], allows her to bond with it.
** This is actually a plot point in [=SM030=], where Lillie realizes that the reason Ash can work so well with Pokémon is because they battle by each others' side. She quickly forms this bond with Pikachu, battling and defeating her butler once she started working with the electric mouse.
* {{Forgiveness}}: Lillie and her mother, Lusamine, initially have a strained relationship with each other because Lusamine is always busy with her work, which causes her to not have time for Lillie and Gladion. Lillie also didn't like that her mother does things without considering her feelings. However, in "Mission: Total Recall!", Lillie forgives her mother after Lusamine realizes how much her work got in the way of spending time with her family and how she failed to notice the trauma Lillie went through as a child that caused her fear.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In [=SM008=], when Ash asks her happened to make her unable to touch Pokémon, she says that she doesn't know, and Hobbes says that she was living with her mother when the incident occurred. In [=SM047=], it's revealed that, indeed, she was at Aether Paradise when she was attacked by a Nihilego, resulting in TraumaInducedAmnesia.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Both Hobbes and Gladion say she was this before her childhood trauma that caused her fear of touching Pokémon. Lillie is like that again once she's freed of her phobia.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: The Magearna she gets after fixing it happens to be a very rare ''shiny'' variation. Lucky for her, since Magearna is shiny locked in all the games it's obtainable in, and can only be obtained in its normal form.
* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: She owns a Clefairy doll that she sleeps with.
* GrewASpine:
** In "Family Determination!", after listening to Ash stating that sometimes you can't do everything alone, Lillie realizes that he is right and finds the courage to stand up to Gladion. Lillie tells Gladion that they have a better chance of getting their mother back from Ultra Space if they have their friends go with them on their quest. Not only is he surprised that his little sister just stood up to him, but he also understands what she and Ash are talking about.
** In "10,000,000 Reasons to Fight!", Lillie finally tells her mother, who is being controlled by Nihilego, how she feels about her treatment of her.
* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's blonde and is the most pure-hearted of the group.
* HeroesLoveDogs: A younger Lillie was shown holding a Lillipup in her arms, and in the present day, she has her Alolan Vulpix, Snowy, and has shown to be totally comfortable sitting right next to Rockruff in both [=SM012=] and [=SM013=] despite her usual fear of Pokémon.
* HeroicBSOD: After seeing Gladion's Silvally since her childhood, Lillie work in getting over her fear of touching Pokémon was setback a great deal and she became depressed about it. Despite her friends efforts in cheering her up and tried to touch Snowy, Lillie was still down but pulled herself together with Ash's help as she decided to find answers to her past and end her fear for good. After remembering her past, Lillie succeeded in ending her fear once and for all then not only happily embraced her Pokémon friends but also thanks Ash for never giving up on her.
* HeroicSacrifice: Well, she sure tried when she ''leapt off a high wall'' to save Snowy in [=SM014=] after it was knocked off by a Sludge Bomb from Mareanie. Rowlet saved both with Leafage.
* HeroWorshipper: Like her games incarnation with the player character, Lillie sometimes demonstrates some admiration for Ash. In the series finale, Lillie has a flashback to some of the moments she shared with him, as her boat is leaving, runs to the back of it to thank Ash for everything he did to help her in bonding, touching and loving Pokémon all over again.
* IKnowYoureInThereSomewhereFight:
** Brings out her Clefairy doll to remind her mom's Clefable of their bond. With the following CooldownHug, even risking a point-blank Dazzling Gleam, Clefable returns to its senses.
** She tries to get through to her mother in the next episode by calling her out on her behavior and telling her she's stronger than that. It briefly works, but Nihilego's control is too strong.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Happens to her, Ash and Sophocles in [=SM083=] as a result of a botched experiment by Faba. Thankfully the transformation wasn't stable and they shortly grew back.
* TheIngenue: She has some BrokenBird shades due to her DarkAndTroubledPast, but she is definitely one of Ash's most sweet and delicate companions which, combined with her BigBrotherWorship of him, makes him and the others rather protective of her.
* IronicFear: Given the fact she lives in the Alola Region, which emphasizes the bond between people and Pokémon, her fear of Pokémon is kind of this.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: In the games, it's considered a huge plot twist that Lusamine and Gladion are related to her, being her mother and brother, but the anime reveals this fact relatively early on in [=SM008=].
* {{Leitmotif}}: Starting from the second season, her diary recaps and some other key scenes involving her character are accompanied by arrangements of her piano theme from ''Pokemon Sun and Moon''.
* LetsGetDangerous: Lillie is the meekest of the students and doesn't regularly battle or partake in outside competitions, but her knowledge of Pokémon types and attacks make her resourceful when forced into combat, commanding Snowy and even some of the others' Pokémon rather fluently.
* LittleMissBadass: Lillie develop this as she grew in her battling skills and rallies on what she has seen from Ash's battles as her source of inspiration.
* TheLoad: Lillie only seldom battles, even if she is semi-competent when forced to, and for the first dozen or so episodes didn't even have a Pokémon herself due to her phobia of touching them and Snowy having not yet hatched.
* LovableCoward: Even besides her phobia of Pokémon, she seems to have a rather jittery disposition. She cowered while playing catcher in a baseball game. She can become a CowardlyLion at any point, however.
* MamaBear: Despite being afraid of it at first, Lillie manages to save a Pokémon egg from being a Salandit's lunch. And when she finds that she still has trouble touching the Vulpix that newly hatched from the egg, she eventually gets over ''that'' by nearly performing a HeroicSacrifice to save it from a fall. She's also protective of Nebby despite Ash being its caretaker; she's the one who named it, writes in her diary that she's concerned about it, and refuses to stay behind when Ash and Gladion go to rescue it from Faba.
* MirrorCharacter: Largely an introverted SmartGirl in contrast to the energetic but BookDumb Ash, but she does share his dorky qualities and [[DitzyGenius occasionally ditzy mindset]]. She has also shown a similarly extreme affection for Pokémon at risk to her own well-being, especially when her phobia no longer restrains her.
* MisplacedRetribution: While she doesn't personally act on the event, subconsciously, Silvally was the reason she had a phobia of touching Pokémon after a traumatic event left her with the impression that it was attacking ''her''. In reality, Silvally was trying to attack the Nihilego which was trying to abduct her.
* TheMedic: Shows medical abilities when the students' Pokémon suffer serious injuries. Also tends to take this role in Ultra Guardian missions.
* MythologyGag: Lillie is the one who nicknames Nebby. In the games, Nebby is her travel companion, having nicknamed it herself.
* NaiveNewcomer: She was the newest member of the class before Ash came along. This is best shown in [=SM065=], where she and Ash are the only ones who don't already know Ilima.
* NiceGirl: Lillie is incredibly sweet natured and demure, and does everything in her power to convey her love for Pokémon despite her phobia. She also tends to be one of few who treats Ash's usual IronButtMonkey role with concern.
* TheNicknamer: She nicknamed the Vulpix she is caring for (Snowy), even before it hatched. She is also the one to name Nebby.
* {{Ojou}}: Her servants refer to her as "Ojou-sama".
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Ash notes that she's a '''lot''' more assertive towards her mother than she normally is.
* ParentalNeglect: Ever since Mohn disappeared, Lusamine has been busy trying to run Aether Paradise, and isn't around for Lillie as much. While Lusamine does try to make time to be with Lillie, the gap is too much to start with and Lillie doesn't want her around anyway, not helped by Lusamine being overly affectionate in those rare moments of togetherness.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink, while Ash's is dark blue.
* PinkHeroine: Her Ultra Guardians uniform is pink.
* {{Protectorate}}: All of the students are very nurturing towards her due to her phobia and rookie status as a trainer. Her brother Gladion, Mallow and later Ash are all especially protective of her.
* RecapByAudit: A few episodes had her recap the events of the previous one while writing in her diary.
* TheRunaway: [[spoiler:Runs off with Gladion to the Altar of the Sunne on Poni Island in an attempt to save their mother.]]
* ShipTease: Lillie enjoys Ash's company and sees him as a [[BigBrotherMentor mentor]]. In ''Bright Lights, Big Changes!'', Lillie went to comfort and talk to Ash after he had a fallout with Rotom Dex as she told him that he should talk things out with it, which he agreed.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: Subverted; she does change into her "Z-Powered" outfit and refers to it as such, but after her mother is saved, she goes back to wearing her original outfit. She returns to wearing it during the Alola League tournament.
* TheSmartGal: Despite her fear of Pokémon, her knowledge of them is encyclopedic, through this trait is downplayed after Rotom Dex joins the group. She returns to this role in the Ultra Guardian missions where she is often TheStrategist.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: Downplayed. True to the source material, she's the "designated female companion" of the anime, much like Serena, Iris, Dawn, May, and Misty. She gets more focus than the other classmates themselves, but that doesn't mean the series draws focus away from Ash any more than it did with the other female companions.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: The [=RotomDex=] notes the strong similarity between Lillie and her mother Lusamine.
* {{Squee}}: Along with Mallow and Lana, this is her reaction to [[spoiler:the news that Kukui and Burnet were getting married.]]
* TakeOurWordForIt: She makes a funny face in order to (successfully) calm Nebby down, but the audience doesn't get a chance to see it.
* TearsOfJoy: When Lusamine is rescued and alive.
* ThereAreNoTherapists: Lillie had to completely rekindle the roots of her phobia and cure it on her own (with some help from her classmates of the same age). It was actually Lampshaded during a massive calling out that Lusamine did ''absolutely nothing'' to get to the bottom of her daughter's emotional scars.
* TheyKnowTooMuch: Faba was hoping Lillie's memory loss of his experiment would stick, as it was rooted from a blunder of his when experimenting with Ultra Space transport. When she comes too close to jarring her memory, later on, he resorts to trying to forcibly wipe her mind clean.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The girly girl to Mallow and Lana's tomboys. She's the more feminine of the three, wears more frilly outfits compared to them, and tends to be into more feminine things like stuffed animals. Mallow is a SupremeChef who dresses in a {{Shorttank}} outfit and tends to be more outgoing, while Lana dresses in fishing gear and has a ''very'' dark sense of humor. Her voice is also audibly more feminine compared to Mallow's and Lana's.
* TookALevelInBadass: Once she finally got her own Pokémon, she very quickly took to commanding it in dangerous situations and is able to fend off Team Rocket almost entirely on her own. Later, she gets an Icium Z from an Alolan Sandslash as thanks for helping it defeat a wild Tyranitar that was threatening its home.
** She inherits her father's Z-Ring in [=SM116=], though doesn't quite have the training to pull off a Subzero Slammer.
** She masters Subzero Slammer in [=SM127=] after receiving advice from Ash.
* TownGirls: The femme to Mallow's butch and Lana's neither.
* TraumaInducedAmnesia: The incident that triggered her fear of Pokémon as a child was so traumatic that it caused her to suppress her memory. She partly recovers it in ''Night of a Thousand Poses!'' when she remembers Silvally lunging at her, thinking it was trying to attack her, which sends her back to square one when she encounters it again as a Type: Null. After it breaks its mask and saves her from Faba in the following episode, however, she fully remembers that it actually tried ''saving'' her from a Nihilego; this realization is what lets her overcome her fear
* {{Tsundere}}: Shows this attitude when confronted about her inability to physically touch Pokémon, claiming that she can touch them theoretically.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: Her dynamic with her mother Lusamine has shades of this.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Because of her childhood trauma, she's afraid of making physical contact with any Pokémon, even adorable ones like Pikachu and Bounsweet. Despite this, she is quite fond of them, as shown by her house having a Pokémon battlefield, a playground for other Pokémon to play in, and her room having stuffed animal Pokémon. Once she gets ownership of Snowy's egg, she gradually works through her fear to the point where she can touch Snowy, Pikachu, and a Ride Pokémon. [[spoiler:As of [=SM049=], she overcomes her fear completely]].
* WrongGenreSavvy: When Lillie and Gladion go through Vast Poni Canyon in ''Family Determination!'', Lille twice makes a mistake about the genre she is in by expecting puzzles where there are none:
** At the entrance to the temple, she sees three statues and three symbols on the wall behind the statues and she incorrectly guesses that [[StockVideoGamePuzzle the door is unlocked by moving each statue to the correct symbol]], apparently thinking by AdventureGame logic. Gladion stops her and shows her that 1.) the door isn't locked, and 2.), moving the statues sets off a [[SpikesOfDoom spike trap]].
** They later come to a gap without a bridge, and Lille guesses based on books she read that there is [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade an invisible bridge that she tries to reveal by throwing sand on it]]. Gladion tells her that there is not an invisible bridge and has Silvally jump across the gap while carrying them, then explains that there was a bridge but it fell down, which Lillie didn't recognize the remains of.
* YourSizeMayVary: In the games, she was taller than the player character, and her own older brother Gladion, but here, she's noticeably shorter than her brother and roughly the same height as Ash, if not slightly shorter than him.

* JumpedAtTheCall: When Lillie was officially given Snowy, she got a bit overly excited with a Poké Ball Kukui gave her to catch it and smacked Ash in the head with it. Snowy walked up to the Ball, hit the button with a paw, and caught herself.
* LateArrivalSpoiler: One of the official posters heavily alluded that an Alola Vulpix would become Lillie's partner. The poster was published even before the release of the trailer that revealed a Cosmog was residing in Lillie's infamous bag in the games, resulting in that some people initially speculated that the bag contained an Alola Vulpix.
* LetsGetDangerous: Snowy spends most of her screen time babied by Lillie, though is alarmingly powerful for a newborn. She held her own against the posse of Totem Kommo-o, and despite a hectic first battle with Team Rocket, she ultimately froze the entire squad with one Powder Snow attack in a HeroicSecondWind (to punctuate, this was only two episodes after [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe the trio had successfully fainted Pikachu and Rowlet]]).
* LimitBreak: She can use the ice-type Z-move Subzero Slammer.
* MeaningfulName: Her Japanese name, "Shiron", comes from combining the word for "white" with the word applied to "rolling": ''koron-koron''. Lillie said right before Snowy hatched that she had taken to rolling her egg around. The second half still applies after hatching, making the name a combination of "white" and Rokon. It roughly translates to "Snowball" in English.
* MundaneUtility: Lillie keeps cool in the hot Alolan climate by carrying Snowy in her arms.
* NoodleIncident: After over a season of using only Powered Snow, [=SM060=] revealed Snowy had learned Hail offscreen.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: It's an adorable baby fox with white fur. What else did you expect?
* SignatureMon: Though Lillie is associated with Nebby and later gets Magearna, Snowy remains her main Pokémon partner.
* TheSixthRanger: Literally such with the other students' signature Pokémon, having hatched and acquainted herself with the others sometime after Ash and Pikachu had arrived.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Pun aside, unlike the Fire-type Vulpix that hatched after it, Snowy was reluctant to interact with the other Pokémon and even froze Ash when he attempted to pet her. The only person she would be friendly towards is Lillie. Later on, however, it did grow more comfortable around Ash.
* TookALevelInBadass: Received proper battle training from Ash in [=SM030=] and the results show in her more confident personality and battle prowess. By [=SM060=] she has also learned both Hail and Aurora Veil.
* UncattyResemblance: Her white/light blue fur and fluffy tail bear a resemblance to Lillie's white and blue ruffled dress.
* UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Even when Lillie briefly regressed in her fear of touching Pokémon, Snowy remains patiently supportive of her trainer.]]
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: She doesn't battle much, so Powder Snow is the only move she knows, but when she does battle, Lillie can use it resourcefully enough to usually get the job done. Subverted [=SM060=] onwards, where Snowy learns Aurora Veil and is noted to have learned Hail offscreen.
!!Magearna
->'''Voiced in by:''' Wakana Minami
----
* CuteClumsyGirl: Shows shades of this in the post-credits scene of [=SM145=], as it falls on its face trying to run.
* EleventhHourRanger: Awakens in the penultimate episode of ''Sun and Moon''.
* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel type.
* GameplayAndStorySegregation: It's a shiny Pokémon, but it's one of the ones that players ''can't'' obtain in game due to Magearna being one of the few "shiny-locked" entires. Because the anime has no such restrictions, Lillie is able to get it working and keep it.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: Part Fairy type.
* TragicKeepsake: Of Mohn.
