Well, Lawful Good does not equal Lawful Stiff or Lawful Humorless. But, yes, Anthy is very adept at lying and always has been. Her quiet and understated nature makes lies by omission very easy to pull off, and she doesn't even need that circumstance to deceive almost anyone.

As for paradigm shifts, remember that the only laws that are really important in a Lawful person's life are the ones they make for themselves. Lawful people have their own moral codes, and they follow them religiously, but they may or may not be related to temporal, on-the-books law. Even the most righteous paladin of Tyr (in Forgotten Realms) -can- work against the local tyrannical laws if there is absolutely no way to do what is right within those laws. Of course, it rarely gets to that point.

Anyway, back to Anthy. I have a feeling the only reason she is Neutral Good is because Utena is Lawful Good. The corrupted Tournament is a perfect example of what happens when laws are twisted to evil, and she was the victim for so long I have a feeling she'd easily be Chaotic Good, or even Chaotic Neutral without Utena's influence to balance her.

this world created by the
hands of the gods
everything is false
everything is a LIE
the final days have come
now
let everything be destroyed
