I personally have two therories:

If she's from a magical land: She's the princess from The Frog Prince (so not Tiana, but from the original story). Her name, Lily, is a hint to this, as it references a water lily and/or lily pad, which are often found in ponds alongside frogs. The birthmark is actually from a curse, that (in a twist on the original tale), will turn her true love into a frog when she kisses him.

If she's from our world: She became a PI when she grew up, and will come to Storybrooke investigating the disappances of Greg, Tamara, and/or Neal. The birthmark is not explained, and is just used to reveal that the adult actress that comes to Storybrooke is adult Lily. Dude. Duuuuudeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

That would be AWESOME! Both of the theories (but the Enchanted Forest one is more awesome :D) I do want to see more of Lily, even though I didn't like her very much I think that she was an interesting character.

And btw PI means Private Investigator right? You are correct, PI is Private Investigator. Glad you like the theories.

There is no evidence that Lily is anything more then a troubled teen in the LWM. I know that the reference to Harry Potter was made and she had (maybe by magic marker) a star on her wrist and she claimed to be an orphan and adopted. But to for every orphan and runaway to be secret royalty and\or magic user is, well, too much a fairytale.... ;)
