Lillia (リリア, Riria)
The female protagonist of the series. Lillia is the 15-year-old (16 in the third arc) daughter of Allison and Wil. She is feisty and outspoken with a childish streak. She prefers to be called Lillia because her full name (Lilliane Acacia Corazon Whittington Schultz) is too long.

Why this record matters
The phrase “japanese light novel series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 3, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q483596. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2005, 2007, 2006 and 2008.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
