Personality

[Coming Soon]

Appearance and Costume

Lily is described as a Japanese-American girl.<ref>Comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref>

As Flechette, she wore a deep purple costume with a visor, quiver, and narrow platinum-white armor panels that flared out at the upper edges and tapered at the bottom - mimicking the vague shape of an arrow or darts. She carried a Tinker-made arbalest to launch needles three feet long – needles that carry the effects of her power, ignore gravity, and benefited from her secondary power of enhanced sense of angles and timing. The arbalest produced an unlimited supply of sturdy chain, and her needles remained fused in place where they hit, allowing her to use it as a grappling hook as well as a weapon. She also carried nine-inch throwing darts.<ref name="9.2"/>

After Lily became Foil, she donned a black costume with asymmetrical belts, boots, armor and gloves. She also wore a black opaque mask with silver trim at the edges. As a weapon, she used thrown blades augmented with a rapier<ref name="26.b">Interlude 26b</ref>, the same tools she originally used when she first discovered her powers.<ref name="9.2">Sentinel 9.2</ref>

Powers and Abilities

Lily has the ability to temporarily imbue nonliving material<ref>Comment by Wildbow]</ref> with the power to ignore select laws of physics. Most notably, they could punch through anything. She is not restricted to her hand when she uses this power. If her power wore off while an object was moving through another, it would be stuck in place. She could use her ability on her costume to reduce the effects of friction or make her shoes bite into surfaces.<ref name="9.2"/>

Scion Described her power as "charging objects with energy [...] the small pieces of alloyed metal unfolded, taking shape in not just this world, but all realities, at the same space and time, bristling with an effect that would sever their attachment to most physical laws." Although this is widely interpreted to mean that they extend into every Alternate Earth, this may not be the case.<ref>Discussion on Reddit featuring Wildbow</ref>

Her power is effective against intangible abilities.^{[citation needed]}

Lily also has an intuitive understanding of angles, trajectories and an enhanced sense of timing that she uses for aiming and applying her power.<ref name="9.2"/>

Foil could have potentially destroyed Behemoth's core when it was exposed.<ref>Reply by Wildbow on Reddit</ref> However, once the sheer amount of damage she could do to Endbringers was realized after the Battle against Behemoth, the Endbringers changed their tactics.<ref name="R1"/>

Using her power on Chevalier's sword would have broken it.<ref name="R1">Comment by Wildbow on Reddit</ref>

The Entities referred to her power as "Sting".<ref name="9.2"/> They hadn't found a way to improve it for aeons, but it was still useful to see how other powers interacted with it.<ref>Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref>

History

Background

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.<ref name="Wog1">Wildbow, archived on Spacebattles</ref>
