She wears a green school uniform with a dark blue bow and a white skirt. She is average height for a 12-year-old, but much shorter than the rest of Franchouchou. On her feet, Lily wears brown shoes with white socks.

As a zombie, Lily has her heart sticking outside of her body and like the other zombies, grayish-blue skin and red eyes.

In Episode 8, Lily has a strong resemblance to her late mother.

Personality
Lily is often seen with a smile and she is shown to be quite playful as well due to her young age. She has also demonstrated a professional aspect from her experiences before her death.

Lily does not like nicknames. She forcefully emphasizes her name when being called "squirt" or any reference to her former name by Saki Nikaidō; especially early on in their relationship. When it comes to things she finds lame and/or ugly, she becomes very honest and blunt about it.

Early Life
Lily was initially identified as a boy and went by her birth name "Masao Go." Her mother passed away when she was young and has lived a peaceful life with her father Takeo Go. She later took up acting role under a feminine alias "Lily Hoshikawa" with Takeo acting as her manager. Posed as a twin tailed young girl, she became renowned for her cute persona, appearing in many series and shows.

Over the course of her acting career, Lily was overworked numerous amount of times by Takeo, who now had became too attached in career management and neglected Lily's feelings. As his ignorance continued, their relationship soon rifted apart as Lily begun to shut herself away from Takeo for ignoring her. She later expressed worry she was going to be an adult. While keeping herself away, she looked into a mirror and --- to her shock --- sees facial hair growing on her. The combined mental shock and exhaustion caused Lily to have a heart attack and died as a result. When Takeo found her body, he was riddled with grief as he became alone.

Some time in the future, Lily's body was found by Kotaro Tatsumi and revived her as a zombie to become part of his zombie idol project. Her zombification made her into an eternally young girl and Kotaro used her stage name to cover her real identity.
