===Background===
Lily was put into the foster system at a young age, and had older siblings who weren't.

She triggered 3 years prior to the start of Worm, as part of a group trigger in New York.<ref name="Wog1"/> This trigger event occurred when she was standing at a subway platform. She was attacked from behind by one of her estranged sisters, who was homeless. Her sister tried to push her onto the tracks and in the process, other people fell onto them. Lily triggered as her sister pushed her head down, putting it in the way of oncoming trains, and seeing her sister get hit.<ref name="II11.10 eTrigger"/> One of her old nemeses, [[March (New York)|March]], was another part of that [[Grab-Bag Cape|group trigger]].<ref name="Wog1">Foil is 17 and a senior. She triggered 3 years prior to her appearance, as part of a group trigger in New York. One of her old nemeses, March, was another part of that group trigger. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/17584328/ Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles]</ref><ref>[[Sentinel 9.3]]</ref>

At some point she joined the [[Wards]], debuting with a video that doubled as an ad for Flechette [[merchandise]].<ref name="II 12.z e1">"You'll see me patrolling the streets of New York, starting February first," Flechette said. She picked up a new bottle with blue liquid inside, took a drink, then flipped the bottlecap back. Without turning around, she threw a dart behind her.

It caught the cap, and embedded the cap to the lip of the camera, just in front of the lens. A Flechette in miniature on the cap.

The scene, of course, was ruined by the squawk as the ad shifted to cramming in as much merchandising as possible in the last one point eight seven seconds. T-shirt, poster, limited time energy drink collectors item. - [[ Interlude 12.z II]]</ref> She had to stop using a sword with her power after it proved unacceptably dangerous. A year after joining the team she was given an advanced arbalest, rendering the signature darts she had named herself after somewhat obsolete.<ref name="9.2 e3">She'd been with the Wards a year before she had been given the arbalest and the chain reel. Her darts had been her weapon of choice for a long time, alongside a rapier she'd eventually retired after too many fights using it had turned out badly. She hadn't had the heart to change her codename, even if it didn't quite apply anymore. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/sentinel-9-2/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.2]]</ref>

===Story Start===
Deployed to Brockton Bay, Flechette pulled [[Parian]] away from [[Bambina]] at the cape gathering before the fight with [[Leviathan]] started.<ref name ="9.2 e4">"I'm staying back," Flechette assured the girl. "Remember me?"<br><br>"Yes. You talked to me before the fight, pulled me away from that horrible little girl." - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/sentinel-9-2/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.2]]</ref>

She was able to reliably damage the Endbringer.<ref name="8.5 eFar"/>

===Post-[[Battle against Leviathan|Leviathan]]===
Was brought onto the [[Brockton Bay]] Wards team.

===Post-[[Slaughterhouse Nine]]===
Almost succeeded in capturing [[Taylor Hebert|Skitter]], however, Taylor talked her way out of it and shook Lily's belief in her own righteousness.

She eventually talked about the incident with [[Ms. Yamada]].

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
Defected from the Wards and started a relationship with Sabah.

Participated in the fight at [[New Delhi]], being outfitted with her flechettes by her old teammate [[Jouster]].<ref name="23.5 e2">My eyes followed Foil as she walked over to talk to Jouster. He handed her an arbalest, and a quiver of needle-like bolts.<br><br>When she took the quiver, he gripped her wrist, speaking something in a low volume. She nodded as she replied, saying something I couldn't make out, and he let her go.<br><br>Wordless, they parted, him rejoining his team, Foil moving to Parian's side. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/04/drone-23-5/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.5]]</ref>

===[[Timeskip]]===
Lily was 'visited' twice by [[March]] while she lived in [[Brockton Bay]]. On this second 'visit' Parian was kidnapped, presumably to lure in Foil.<ref>[[Interlude 5y II]]</ref>

===Post-[[Timeskip]]===
Has settled into a routine as Parian's lieutenant. while preparing to deal with a [[Slaughterhouse Nine Hold Apartment Hostage|hostage situation]] she caught up with some of her old Ward teammates. She had taken to imbuing a dagger with her effect and letting Parian incorporate it into her creations, like a fluffy scorpion.

Killed several of [[The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand]] and the [[Gray Boy|Gray Boy clone]].

===[[Gold Morning]]===
During her battle against [[Scion]], [[Khepri]] noticed that he was dodging shots from Foil. When he gave up hope, Foil was able to wound him, opening a hole to his true body through which he was destroyed.<ref name="30.6 eOpen">In the moment that hope died, the girl with the injured hand [Foil] used her power on the iron rods. Infused them with the energy he was afraid of.<br><br>Those rods became projectiles, in another's hands [Ballistic].<br>[...]<br>I discovered why he was concerned about the power.<br><br>It kept things from being ''contained''. I got a glimpse, a flash of a look into the world beyond him, a world he'd shut off, to which his body was the only conduit. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/26/speck-30-6/ Excerpts] from [[Speck 30.6]]</ref>

===Early [[Ward]]===
Stuck with the [[Tattletale]] and remaining [[Undersiders]] despite tension.

Was present during [[Mathers Compound Assault]].

===Post-[[Goddess' Takeover]]===
She gets targeted by her [[March|longtime nemesis]] again, which forces Undersiders to mobilize and get on the run.

When Undersiders and [[Breakthrough]] joined forces, she was in a group that went after [[Love Lost]].<ref>[[Blinding 11.5]]</ref> Later in the night she joined the combined group that captured [[Cradle]]. At the dawn of the next day Lily got leads from [[Narwhal]], and decided to end [[March]] and [[March's Megacluster|her megacluster]] once and for all.<ref>[[Heavens 12.x]]</ref>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
Foil was alongside [[The Undersiders]] and [[Breakthrough]] during the oversight duty of [[Titan Oberon]] and [[Fume Hood|Eve]]. During the battle of titans she stayed with the rear group, initially taking potshots at Oberon, and then enchanted chain-hook, that was delivered by [[Rachel]] and was able to seriously gouge titans' back.<ref name="II18.4">[[Radiation 18.4]]</ref>

Foil saved [[Chastity Vasil|Chastity]] from near-lethal fall, when they were forced to retreat.

Later, she was provided with a weapon by [[Antares]] and delivered to Eve, where Foil carved out a nice chunk of titan out, and then was evacuated by Antares alongside [[Damsel of Distress III|Damsel of Distress]]<ref name="II18.5">[[Radiation 18.5]]</ref> Later in the fight she continued gouging titans, until she was recovered with [[Parian]]'s glider. Afterwards she was intentionally kept away from Parian by [[Tattletale]] and was deeply shocked by the reveal of intended application of Parian's power.<ref name="II18.6">[[Radiation 18.6]]</ref> She moves out from Undersiders to another settlement with her old NY teammates.<ref>"Gone as in-"<br><br>"Another settlement. With old New York Ward teammates." - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/12/07/radiation-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Radiation 18.7]]</ref>

Flechette participated in the initial engagement with [[The Simurgh]] alongside [[Rachel Lindt]], unlike the majority of Undersiders, who remained in the Wardens' HQ.<ref name="II20.2">[[Last 20.2]]</ref>
