Description

Well, originally it started as a portrait of Tori Amos. After a while (just like a five hours or so :D) I realized I didn't really like it and I'd like to make changes completely changing the expression of her face, making them I knew it was just Lily Potter (née Evans) I always see in my head, reading HP books.
Now, as for the expression, well... We all (all the HP-obsessed-freaks, I mean :D) know that Lily died protecting her son AND that Harry had a remembrance of her scream and a green light. Although she's definitely not screaming and there's no green light (I tried to edit it that way and I really didn't like it), my idea is that this is image of Lily a moments before her death - when she knew her husband was dead and she was gonna die as well, kind of sad and courageous in her effort to protect her baby.

(PS I'm thinking of editing it a bit, 'cause there's still something about the hair I'm ot satisfied with...)

Maybe it's just me but she looks like she could be related to Sansa Stark.

Actually, more than that—she has a general Tully-like appearance to her.
