Age:
22
Rank:
Dutchess of Darley
Personality:
Lilith is a very bright girl, and has been since she was a child. It's not book smarts, but rather how she interacts with people and views conflict. Her cleverness and skepticism makes her good at trying to discern the source of a problem. With it she is also sly and uses her cunning in conversations to strengthen relationships within politics. However, it's not all simply for power or wealth, but rather she truly wishes to aid people with her influence and have a more meaningful life than her parents sometimes wish her to have. Her pride wouldn't let her become some trophy wife or side figure. With her slyness however comes the fact she rarely ever has an actually close friends outside of business. Her parents hardly deemed it needed for her to have someone to talk to outside of political events.
Clever, Sly, Good Nature, Tease, Prideful
History:
Lilith was the second child of Tranor Calamont and his wife Rachel within the borders of Indra which she has never had a chance to leave. This was due to the death of her sister when Lilith was six years old after she contracted a disease when her father brought her along for a foreign relations trip to the jungles of Manora. The goal of the trip was to establish good connections with the small nation for their rise in power as well as hopefully start setting up contacts and import/export regulations. As the economic advisor to the king her father was very good at his job, but despite his attempts he could never get his daughter quite as interested in mathematics and exchange. While he loved his daughters very much, it is very easy to tell how much he would have preferred a son to be able to take up his position, but after Lilith was born her mother had been unable to birth any more heirs. Now that he is left with one daughter Tranor hasn’t been willing to bring Lilith along to foreign nations despite her desire.
To avoid feeling like a bird trapped in her cage Lilith was heavily invested in trying to establish her own connections within the nobility at home. An avid event goer she would go along with her father and mother whenever she could to whatever would be held. Her other fascination had been with music as well, and at such events that were at her family’s own castle she would perform when people asked. Despite this however, it has been a slow burn into getting her favored standing in the eyes of many when it comes to her personality and opinion being recognized. This was also trouble when it came to proposals. Since her father was an economic adviser to the king and a duke many families aimed to raise their standing with her marriage. Making her have to turn down offers and angering more than a few sons of other nobility members. Soon though, her father made an ultimatum on her 21st birthday. If she didn’t find a man soon she would be arranged to marry. Her father aimed for her best interest with this, not wanting her to become old and alone while not able to move on, but at the same time Lilith felt he simply wanted to achieve what having a son couldn’t, which was gains through marriage.
While she is good up front, Lilith had had a hard time connecting with people after her sister’s death. Before it had occurred Lilith was hardly so interested in being ‘popular’ or ‘important’. But, when she had to take being the only child left she knew she couldn’t leave her family’s name to die by her silence. Her sister’s pride in their name transferred to her, and despite her disagreements with her father she didn’t accept those that would speak ill of him or her mother.
Extra:
She is quite the musician as well as dancer. Preferring to spend time practicing those aspects of her life compared to other classical techniques and schooling. Diplomacy, though, is a strong suite of hers when it comes to finding a compromise.
