Main Character of The Executioner's Daughter

The main character for The Executioner's Daughter is Lily, who the townspeople call Gallows Girl or Lily White As Bones. This is because of her father's occupation as the executioner. Lily generally despises the townsfolk, thinking of them as cruel and taunting. However, Lily does have a kind and gentle heart. She saves the injured animals in the forest, and with her parents' help, she heals them. Lily also looks much like her mother-pale, and blonde hair, but has her father's large hands. Lily doesn't cherish this particular feature, as her hands are often clumsy. In fact, she actually wants to be like her mother, who has a soft touch. According to Lily, her mother could probably pull thorns from a unicorn's muzzle and not scare it away. Nonetheless, Lily is still an accomplished healer, and bore the cruelty of the townspeople bravely. I'd love to be able to do those things.
