Lilith can be awfully quick to judge people and expect the worst from them, making it difficult for her to make new friends. If she finds her fragile ego under threat, she’ll react aggressively, albeit non-violently, and will be ready to engage in heated arguments. Though she wouldn’t outright lie, she wouldn’t mind equivocating or manipulating the information only to favor her narrative.

With a developed tendency to anxiety, her own belligerent attitude is far from enjoyable, and yet, she feels the need to argue to defend herself. Her arrogance makes it difficult for her to admit when she’s wrong or mistaken, even if she needs help.

Opening up to people can be difficult to her, partly because she’s an awful person with a horribly twisted sense of humor and odd quirks, and partly because of social anxiety that makes her reluctant to interact and particularly reactive when confronted. Despite her reserves however, she can be quite engaging in conversations; just as she can be easy to anger, she can be easy to calm down, especially due to her ability, Trace, that makes her (often without noticing) mimic other people’s behaviors. More often than not, these traits play against her, but they can be great assets when paired with good company.

Politeness is key and Lilith knows this well. Her manners and wit give her a charm that is hard to overlook even if her appearance failed to captivate. Along are her sharp intellect and keen eye for details, which make her a reliable and meticulous strategist with the creativity of a true visionary and the disposition to achieve her goals.

History

Lilith was born in a privileged and rather conventional family formed by a Gallade and Gardevoir couple in the vivacious city of Lumiose. Vincent and Eve, though young in appearance, didn’t rush the beginning of their family, and their patience was rewarded with an outstanding daughter, both in coloration and skill.

Childhood of Brilliance

Generally regarded as a gifted child with great intellect and musical talent, her singular appearance along with her academic brilliance attracted other children's attention and praise, though not all of them had the purest of intentions. Innocently, a few of them took advantage of her friendship to get favors, she however, didn’t mind it much. Getting all those compliments and being the popular girl made her think highly of herself, to an extent she felt entitled to them. The real problems, however, wouldn’t become apparent until she evolved into a Kirlia, starting her adolescence.

From Praised to Desired

The blooming of Lilith’s natural beauty paired with the awakening of young boys’ hormones turned all that attention she got in elementary school every bit less desirable, especially with the less scrupulous lads. It didn’t take her long to realize her popularity diverted from her intellect to her beauty; constant harassment from boys in school and some older men during her after school endeavors made her grow insecure of her own abilities, more so in regards to her academic and musical skills. She, however, wouldn’t allow others to make her quail, dignified, the Kirlia would often get in trouble trying to defend herself by unleashing her psychic powers.

Before things could escalate, her parents had their daughter transferred to a girls only school and hired a guard to look after her. Though this solved the most immediate issues, the damage was already done. Lilith’s past experiences with fake friends embittered her, and the harassment she had been subjected to made her feel like she just couldn’t trust anybody who approached her, especially boys. The paranoia caused her to overthink every interaction she had with other people, leading her to wonder if they even considered her intelligent or if it was only her looks that mattered. Soon, the teen identity crisis would come second in her concerns, for an accident she was ill prepared for would take her father’s life.

Coping

Carrying the burden of her father’s loss didn’t make highschool any easier for her. In this time of vulnerability, and despite her concerns with her appearance, she found in her beauty a smidge of solace; prettying herself made her regain some of her confidence. Her frustration over her inability to help her father turned into a desperate seek for validation, often in the form of academic excellence, though at the same time, her social insecurities made it difficult for her to open up and make friends. She didn’t mind much however, as books soon became the best company to her, and in due time she discovered a strong tie between her psychic powers and her knowledge.

Father Disconnection

A few years after Vincent’s death passed when an Aegislash Eve identified as him appeared in their house. At first Lilith was overcome with happiness to see her father return, but soon she noticed that he not only sounded and looked nothing like the man she knew, his memories had been completely swept away. Bonding with this new version of Vincent became a challenge for the girl, and with academic preparations becoming more demanding, she felt trying to connect with this complete stranger was a waste of time, slowly growing bitter towards him. When the concept of “The land lost to time” first appeared in their lives, the proposition of moving to this mysterious place sounded intriguing to her aging parents, especially to her father; to Lilith however, getting a degree was much more important.

Globetrotter Student

With a growing need for independence, Lilith and her family parted ways. Finally free, the lady pursued a career studying philosophy and literary arts, taking every opportunity to participate in student exchange programs outside of Kalos. Though the paperwork was a mess to deal with so often, travelling, learning and discovering new things made all the hassle worth it. She made a lot of acquaintances through her time in school traveling, however, not a single relationship lasted; she was too focused on learning and studying to make friends.

Moving to Steam

Upon graduation she was left with a sensation of loneliness, and coming across the concept of “The Isle of Steam” once more, her newfound wanderlust and curiosity for her family’s whereabouts made her consider taking the ride. Then, after receiving her certificate, she made up her mind to travel once more.
