Bio: Lilija was born in Asara. Her mother died from an illness leaving her in her father's care. Not many people knew her father very well and even she was confused what exactly he did in the poor town they lived in. Eventually her father gave up whatever he was doing and they moved out with the very little they had. From Asara they traveled by foot towards Hirko. Every once in a while they would stop somewhere and settle down. Her father would get a job and it would be home for little bit. By the time Lilija was 17 they had stopped somewhere between Mizuxe and Claster. There her father met a pretty lady and her daughter. The two hit it off and married. Everything was good the first few months besides her sister never wanting to be around her, but that all changed when Lilija's father died of age when she was just 18. Lilija remembered weeping non stop for a week while her step mother and sister moved on as if nothing had happened. When it was time for read her father's will Lilija received a secret stash of money her father had kept for her and her real mom, almost 3 times more than her steps. Her step mother said she would hold on to Lilija's money for when she turned to an adult. However this would not come to be. The step mother would spend all Lilija's money on a house Mizuxe, dresses for her and her daughter, jewels, parties, and to send the step sister away to study. Lilija was reduced to nothing. She was no better off than she was in Asara. Only difference was she was alone. For 4 years she would tend to her step mother and step sister's needs and when a party would come around Lilija would single handedly clean up after it. In her past time as a maid/slave/worthless trash, Lilija learned to sew and stitch. She would gather scraps of fabric and sew them together making all sorts of shapes. On year 5 of living with her step mother her stepsister went away. Lilija thought she would finally get some Attention from her mother but was mistaken. Her step mother was robbed and money started running low. This angered her mother and she began to take it out on poor Lilija. She would scream and slap and throw things at the innocent girl. As food started to run down Lilija got less and less almost starving. As year 6 came around Lilija knew she needed to leave, but to where? She figured she would do what her and her father did and travel around stopping every once in a while. Lilija took the rag scrap creations her stepmother didn't destroy and her sewing needle and left. Now 24 and broke Lilija walked through Kotiin not knowing what to do. For a year she did this till she found an older couple to stay with in Ferirama. The couple taught the girl to cook, hunt alittle, and sew dresses before sending her on her way. Now more educated Lilija settled by down near Mizule. She got a job as a tailor and began to work. Years went by and Lilija couldn't be happier with the way things were going for her, yet she couldn't help but wish for something more. She decided to pursue her love of design and with a little help from old friends she went back to Ferirama to study. 4 years later Lilija now 34 went back to Mizule and took a boat to Aloidia. She took up a job on the island and stayed there a few years. There she got inspired by the tropical flowers. She went back to college and learned how to make fabrics and run a business. Lilija would work in Mizule another 2 years till she bought her own business outside of Kolob. Year 1 of the business was slow but year two would be when things satared to kick up. The handmade fabrics began to gain Attention of many including a very powerful figure in the fashion world. Lilija entered into a fashion competition and won 2nd place after a split decision. This is what convinced Melusine to approach the girl. The two met and Melusine promised the girl a chance to show off her designs if she would agree to be her student. Lilija almost immediately agreed. On the runway she would meet Aqua her best friend and guide through the city. Lilija would also get the chance to design an outfit for her other friend, Summer, and meet Neveen over coffee.
