Lily
Age: 20
Star Sign: Scorpio
Hometown: Darwin, Australia
Where are you based now? Wellington
Self -proclaimed adrenaline junkie, snowboard instructor and barista Lily is the wild child of the group whose hobbies include “stuff that goes fast and that makes me feel like I might die.” She spent a year living in Cambodia when she was growing up and has a passion for travelling. Upon being accepted to be on the show the advice her family gave her was to “swear less”. A deal breaker for her in a relationship would be someone who hates animals.
What’s the most romantic thing you’ve ever done for someone?
Real lame, but I’m guilty of making a mix tape.
What are you looking for in a partner?
Someone who is honest, caring, patient, with a sense of adventure.

Most of them!
You could be the juiciest, most ripe peach, but there is still going to be someone who doesn't like peaches.

Most NZ seasons the girls are younger than usual for the franchise although Lily I'd say is too young IMO so I'd see her as a MOT girl.

Just watched Sunday's episode and there is definitely something between Lily & Zac IMO. I got the feeling he really wanted to kiss her when they were chatting before the RC and would have if the others hadn't been watching.
He seems far more comfortable around her compared to the rest of the girls and IMO it's because she cuts through the bulls*t and is genuinely herself which must be refreshing for him. But also I think he really likes who she is.
Could just be a 'fun little sister' thing but the way he was looking at her... ah, no, I don't think so. She may be young but IMO has proven herself to be far more mature than many of the others, while still remaining young at heart.
I'd be interested to find out what kind of girls Zac has gone out with in the past to compare/contrast but can't seem to find any info. Lily has been my favourite/girl crush since the start and I would absolutely love it if she ends up F1.

RIGHT. I just watched their date component of Monday's episode and am now even more excited about the Zac/Lily combo potential. So much positive body language going on!
He was licking his lips not only on their date while talking to her:
But also when talking about her to camera after the fact:
There was also tonnes of mirroring (imitating each other's facial/body gestures):
And THAT KISS!
Yep, they're definitely into each other and I like it.

Bringing over the text version of an article posted by @Karina on another thread
LILY LAYS DOWN THE LAW
This babe knows what she wants!

Woman’s Day (NZ) · 17 Apr 2017
He’s the one handing out the roses, but Aussie import Lily McManus doesn’t let The Bachelor New Zealand’ s Zac Franich call all the shots. While fans may have misinterpreted the wild child’s casual approach to the dating show as a lack of passion for the leading man, Lily insists that she’s simply keeping it real – unlike the other Bachelorettes!
“It’s not all about Zac,” explains Gold Coast-raised Lily, 20. “I need to get my head around being with someone too. I don’t know what goes through the other girls’ heads, but I’m not going to just throw myself at the guy. He’s either going to like me or he’s not – and if he doesn’t, well, it’s not the biggest thing in the world. I always say to Zac, ‘You don’t have to worry about where my head is at. If I’m not feeling it, then I’ll just walk.’”
But the promise of romance is giving the sassy snowboard instructor every reason to stay on Three’s reality show. After quitting university in 2015, Lily left Australia to travel. She hit the slopes in Canada and worked illegally at a nightclub in Greece, but her gypsy lifestyle made it hard to meet a man.
“I’ve moved around a lot – even as a young kid, my parents were divorced and we lived all over,” says Lily. “I’m at a stage where I’ve ticked off heaps of travel. Now I’m done living out of a suitcase and making shallow relationships that can’t go any furthere.”
Will the 28-year-old lifesaver be the exception? “I feel like I put Zac at ease,” smiles Lily. “I like it when he loosens up a bit and doesn’t feel like he has to say the right things. I’d actually rather he just came out with a whole lot of stupid s***.
“Zac can hold his own. Whatever I give him, he can chew it up and throw it right back. There’s definitely potential with us.”

@Bobette Yes the same Lily and I just adore her. She is being true to herself. I love when she flirts with Zac he cant help it he blushes. I love when he said she does not care what people thing, and he love her confidence. She is badass, especially like how the girls said she told them dont interrupt her time with Zac. 
. In episode 8 & 10 none of the girls would go and interrupt. They were afraid
