Lily (which is short for Lilith) was adopted, so perhaps she was sent to the modern-day world through a magical portal when she was just a baby. The most likely candidate for her mother is Maleficent — the dark fairy possesses magical powers, and I think of fairies when I think of stars which could explain the star tattoo Lily has!

Lilith is the name of a female demon in Jewish folklore. The witch-like woman is said to possess women using mirrors, and she’s very powerful and dangerous. This is an interesting tidbit of info because this season is very connected to mirrors. Regina recently lost her Magic Mirror to the Snow Queen, and the icy sorceress is using shards of glass to create a new mirror that will supposedly help her acquire the thing that she desires most; a family. Once Upon a Time in Wonderland character Will Scarlet also has a connection to mirrors — he stole a looking glass from Maleficent, and he and Anastasia/the Red Queen used it to travel to Wonderland. Lily could be connected to these mirror stories somehow.
