Description: Water Lilly is 5'7", 115 lbs, with red hair and green eyes. She quite pretty. She's also one of the most unlucky characters in the Wild Cards universe. In the course of her "career," she's been captured by the Astronomer, tossed off the 86th floor of the Empire State Building, worked (unknowingly) for the Mafia, used as a mount by Ti Malice, and infected by Typhoid Croyd.

Water Lilly's power is the ability to condense water out of the surrounding atmosphere. She can also draw water from someone's body, leaving a white, powdery residue if she does it all the way. She can create mini-rain falls and move masses of water about. She tends to soak herself if excited or scared (or angry), leaving pools of water behind. After she was re-infected by Typhoid Croyd, she gained the power to cure a wild card victim via sexual intimacy. Naturally, this process takes a while.

Campaign Use and Designer’s Notes: Water Lilly is a potent ace, and could easily be expanded into a 300-350 point character by removing her ability to remove the Wild Card and using those points to increase her characteristics and to give her more “traditional” super hero powers (like a water EB).
