Biography
Childhood
Born the only child to a middle-class couple, Samuel and Evelyn Crawley, Lillian lived a simple and quiet life in Yellowknife. Her father, a trucker for one of the nearby mining companies, was rarely at home during her formative years which left the girl's upbringing mostly to her mother, who insisted on speaking both English and French during daily tasks and conversations.
Preferring to play by herself instead of with the other children in her neighborhood, Lillian delighted in games of make believe that took her far from the shores of Great Slave Lake on adventures all over the world to the places that filled her beloved picture books. Dreams and fancy were crushed, however, when shortly after her seventh birthday, Evelyn was diagnosed with breast cancer. Samuel quit his job and moved the small family to Vancouver for a more advanced and aggressive treatment for his wife's condition.
It wasn't until after growing her hair for nearly a year with the intent of donating it to an organization specializing in wigs for cancer patients that Lil's powers became evident. The blonde curls simply refused to be cut. It was also realized that the little girl who never came home with the souvenir cuts and bruises other children did after days at play never would thanks to skin that was virtually indestructible. Unfortunately, only a month later, Lillian's mother succumbed to her disease and passed away. After Evelyn's death, they returned to Yellowknife where Samuel doted on his daughter endlessly. She wanted for nothing, including the diamonds she'd begun to favor not only for their brilliance but their strength as well. Like them, she would continue to shine. Like them, she would endure.
High school was a busy time for Lillian; between briefly trying a hand at modeling locally (thanks to her height and a friend's uncle) and taking several classes a week in different schools of martial arts, she entered the Gamma Flight program at age sixteen. It was there that she met Madison Jeffries, a mutant who had the telekinetic ability to reshape plastic, metal, and glass to any form desired. He was the only member of the team she didn't bicker with and after a short time, the two began dating.
Together the couple worked their way out of Gamma and into the Beta Flight program despite the chip on Lil's shoulder that continually led to disagreements with her teammates; her habit of striking out on her own instead of sticking with the group caused more than a few problems though never resulted in any major catastrophes while on a mission. It was during this time that Madison came in possession of Box, a super-strong robot he could merge with and manipulate thanks to his powers and began work on an engineering degree. Lillian likewise applied for University though only completed her first semester before determining that higher education was not her calling. In early 2006, after dating for five years, Madison and Lillian were married in a small, private ceremony to which only a few close friends and relatives were invited (though the reception was quite the blow-out).

Living At The X-Mansion
May cover as many years as you want, but the sub-headings are to break up large blocks of text.
(Insert Header Title applicable to your character here)
Again, depends on the character. Basically breaks up your biography to avoid Wall O' Text. Plot events should be very briefly covered, as there will be links to the specific plot write-ups. Feel free to link to a plot within the biography.
(insert Header Title here)
Physical Characteristics
Height: 6'4" (193 cm)
Weight: 160 lbs (72.57 kg)
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Blonde
Other Features: Skin is slightly warmer to the touch than normal body temperature, seeming as if always running a low-grade fever. No piercings or tattoos.
Powers
One of the rare few whose powers manifested before puberty, Diamond Lil's body produces a homeostatic bio-aura of nigh-impenetrable energy that grants her skin, hair and nails durability akin to that of diamond. The bio-aura is both constant and involuntary, granting her no way to deactivate it. Able to deflect most forms of physical or energy-based attacks, Lil still feels the force of intense blows and while she does not possess super-strength, none of the impact energy of her punches or kicks is absorbed into her body; instead it is all directed into her target, effectively doubling the force of her blows. Similarly, Lil's bio-aura also affords her protection against temperature extremes but limits her sense of touch. She is susceptible to telepathic and other psychic attacks as well as poison and chemicals if ingested or inhaled. An example of the extent of her powers is that a single strand of her hair alone, even after being plucked from her head, is strong enough to be used as a whip or a garrote. There is no physical manifestation of her bio-aura beyond a slight increase in temperature of her skin.
Equipment
None.
Trivia
Little snippets that reflect your character's personality. eg: Cain doesn't know much about music after 1970, but is a big fan of Alison Blaire.
Plots
Links only. No descriptions.

Any curious little things about why the character, if the character had a prior player before you (and who they were), etc.
