About

Shy • Sweet • Lonely • Anxious • Peaceful


Sweet but shy, Lilith is gentle and caring to those she encounters. Along with naturally shying away from conflict, this makes her a perfect person to help the lost spirits at the mansion she resides in, having the ability to both console them and break up any disagreements that may come about (as spirits, though in the afterlife, are very much like the living and like some of their kind more than others).

For all her kindness, Lilith does suffer from an incurable loneliness. Though she makes friends with the spirits she befriends, they all leave with time - and as such she rarely knows anyone living who she can acquaint herself with. Her odd appearance also makes her very nervous to reveal herself in Arkis even to other non-humans, as she is constantly fearful that people will make fun of her because of her appearance, or think her a monster as the tales go - leading her to believe that she is far from normal in any case. She may seem needy and awkward to others at times because of this as well.

note: if you're from dtpay, you're free to draw lilith if you've noticed she's been removed from my tag! just doing a bit of tag cleaning o/

"I take care of the lost, and make sure they can pass on to the afterlife."

Summary

On the outskirts of Arkis, past the mists and murky depths, lies a poignant mansion, its gilded gold having faded, weathering the test of time. Despite its abandoned look, the front garden is always kept neatly trimmed, all cobwebs oddly cleaned away, though the mansion itself is still covered with a layer of dust. Worse still, stay there long enough and you'll hear the voices - faint whispers at first, which turn into murmurs, and then a cacophony of indecipherable sounds pleading for something no one can give. It is then by no surprise that outsiders consider the place haunted, assuming that some poor spirits are caretaking the grounds in the afterlife.

Once in a blue moon, some say a hooded figure will leave the majestic ruins, hurrying towards the heart of Arkis. Sometimes they come to strike up a few bargains with the locals. At other times, they pop into the local bar to hear the local talk. Whatever the case, the rumours still persist - that if you get close to this hooded stranger, or the Caretaker, as some call them, in the best of light - you'll see the faint outline of a snout and the glimmer of razor sharp fangs.

At least, that's how the stories go. The truth about Lilith couldn't be further from the rumours told. In fact, Lilith is no beast, or vampire, as outsiders like to fantasize - in fact, Lilith is a tufted deer - and a vegetarian, at that. Regardless, Lilith's appearance is quite odd to most, so she prefers to keep herself hidden as to not frighten anyone she comes in contact with. Of course, she does have a little bit to do with the supernatural - but not the bloodthirsty one most think. Lilith is a rare spirit medium, able to communicate with ghosts in the afterlife - the ones most would hear as indecipherable whispers are murmurs. They come to the haunted mansion to seek someone who can help set their souls at peace - whether this means lying a flower at a loved one's grave, or showing the spirit a photo of their grandchildren. As one of the few who can help these lost souls, Lilith has taken it upon herself to help them as much as she can - perhaps even aptly earning the nickname of The Caretaker, though under very different terms.

Trivia

• Not originally from Arkis - actually came there from another settlement, far off

• Her mother and father are both tufted deer anthro like herself. She keeps in contact with them through handwritten letters. In her youth they both thought she was making the spirit thing up - and they don't know she's taking care of them now. They think she's exploring the world. She did do that for a while, but now she's taking permanent settlement in Arkis.

• Didn't have many friends in her youth.

• Perhaps has a character arc where she struggles to find a way to fit into normality, only to realize at the end she's been that all along? And that she just needed to find the right friends.

Beatrice

One of the few friends Lilith even has, whom she tends to keep in contact with through phone. Beatrice getting snappy actually intimidates her quite a lot - so she tries not to get on her nerves. However, with both being similar on the kindness front, Lilith is grateful Beatrice continues to be friends with her.

Amelia

An old childhood friend from the town Lilith was born and raised, Amelia remains the only friend Lilith keeps in contact with from her previous life. Both shunned from most members of their hometown because of their unusual and cryptic abilities, the two became fast friends once they realized they weren't the only ones with powers others would rather forget. With Amelia able to sustain life, and Lilith dealing with the effects of the afterlife, the two find a common camaraderie in trying to help others - at least, those who are willing to let them in.
