Lilit

"The Fallen One"

Biological Information

Her head is a mystery, the mask-like covering on her face is made of an organic material. It has the capability to express exaggerated eye expressions. When the eye slots move they create a creaking sound. How this is done is unknown but many theories have been made. Such as that there is a psychic connection between her and the mask and by giving it commands the mask changes. Or that the mask is a protective casing that grows over her face area and she is therefore able to control it. 

The mouth is completely undetectable unless she opens it. Opening the mouth looks as though it is ripping apart and it is packed with teeth that line the mouth opening. The mouth ripping open causes bleeding but heals almost instantly. The mouth is extremely flexible and the lower jaw can split apart down the middle; these lower mandibles can open very wide to allow for huge prey items to be more easily eaten. She seems to have no nose and instead can scent with her tongue. Her tongue is covered in small barbs that is capable of ripping skin off of animals. 

She is capable of swallowing things (such as deer) whole. When swallowed, the throat and stomach crush the object and reduce it to pulp. Sometimes she will eat live animals whole. Her inner organs seem to have elastic properties as when swallowing large animals she is undamaged by their struggling.

She has a total of five eyes and the fifth eye only opens when she is in great danger, she has no control over it and it will only ever look in the direction of the danger. You could say it’s like the mind’s eye and is located between the top two eyes. Instead of lying horizontally, it lies vertically. It is the only eye to not have a slot to look through. Besides the eye, nothing else is known about what is under the mask.

The scars on her back are from the removal of her wings and the bandages over her hands cover up the scars where spikes were driven through her hands.

Character History

As a spirit of nature she had a strong connection with her element which was air. As humans grew many spirits helped humans understand their elements, the first being fire. Being a spirit of air means she was curious and naïve by nature and she spent much time learning about the world, it's magick and so much more. This caused her some trouble as other spirits had to constantly prevent her from stumbling into dark magick and secrets. Eventually she came across some humans that begged for her help in a magick ritual. She had never heard of it before and was intrigued so she helped them, unknowing that what they were trying to do was forbidden. The humans were trying to summon a great evil into the world and they almost succeeded by using Lilit. However it was stopped when other elemental spirits found them as they sensed the dark aura that poured out from the ritual site. The humans blamed Lilit for all of it, that she made them so this and they were frightened of her. She pleaded that she did not know, that the humans had tricked her but they would not believe her. 

The spirits cursed her and twisted her form; they took her wings and severed her connection to the air. Then she was cast down into a dark prison beneath the earth and bound by magick chains; spikes were driven through her hands and she was left there to rot. She spent so long in the dark that the darkness that inhabited that place became a part of her and corrupted her beyond hope, ravaging her mind and creating a cruel beast. Over time the magick that held her there weakened and she was able to escape. Some of the chains that bound her could not be removed and now serve as a reminder of why she despises the world around her.

Living on the mortal plain has caused her to become more bitter and hateful as time goes by, especially due to her inability to communicate with the air like she once could. Despite her hatred, she can been be cordial and well-spoken so as to lure humans into believing and even trusting her. She will even spend long amounts of time luring in humans if they have something she wants.
