<sub>If asked about her past, Liliana will happily tell you about her childhood and how she grew up in a backwater town in the middle of Nebraska. Where she grew up alongside her six siblings and parents in a ranch called "Hermoso Paraiso," and how they would primarily farm potatoes. She'll tell you how she would swim in the nearby lake with her church friends, and if you are lucky, she will even tell you about the dead deer half decomposed she found in their backyard once. About her closet-knit community inside the church and how everyone loved everyone, always smiling. Always there. Always watchful.

Or she might tell you how she grew up in upstate New York and went to Catskills every year with her parents for the summer. She'll tell you all about Athen's all town, delicious food, and how fun it was to take a boat around the lakes. How her parents kept her close by at all times, and how they rewarded her for being at the top of her class. How would they buy her ice cream whenever she got an A in her exams, and how they always tell her they were proud of her.

Once she told her roommate that she was born in Guadalajara. Her parent's home was a two-story house with a big wall surrounding it and a pool on the back. She told him that her mother, Miriam, would cook fried eggs for breakfast every day, and they'd all gather around the table to pray for their family, their church, and their leader. Told him that they would go out on Sundays to this big white church, its roofs curved to the heavens, where hundreds of them would worship like one big hive mind. All blinded by faith and the willingness to stay ignorant.

No one really knows much about Liliana, and that's fine. She likes it this way. They only know what they need to know; she works in the Pink Kitty Cat strip club, she has a "mild" weed addiction, she wants to adopt a cat, she always works out in the mornings, and she volunteers in the local shelter every Sunday morning. There is nothing more that anyone else should know.

All she was left with was a blue gem and her name. Duke Elias and Miriam Stockton raised Liliana as their own, always making her feel part of the family. Even when the couple had more kids, they continued to care for Lily all the same. She was showered with love, gifts, and the best tutors they could buy. Three months after being adopted, Liliana found her love for music after hearing the Duchess play the piano. She learned to play the piano first, followed by the violin, harp, cello, and lute right after in a span of three years. Soon enough, Liliana was entertaining other nobles around the kingdom with her father and mother. And when her mother got pregnant it was only her and Duke Elias. Liliana enjoyed traveling around the different cities, watching the mountains pass by through the carriage's window, and smelling the nature around them. While her time on the road, Lily passed the hours reading all sorts of books. Her father would encourage her to read about history, philosophy, and science - and while Lily enjoyed said topics nothing compared to a romance novel. Since she was small she always dreamed of a tall and dark mysterious person sweeping her off her feet and taking her out on an adventure. To places outside of Varian, far away where maybe just maybe she could find answers to who she is. These days Liliana has grown out of her childish fantasies. She has learned that there might never be answers for her about her biological parents and that she won't be swept off her feet. So she has buried herself into her studies for the past three years, focusing on her music and writing various compositions of her own. She will wait for her father to find a suitable husband for her, another nobleman most likely. Someone that would care for her financially and her children when the time comes. She has accepted it or at least tried to. Yet, there is always that little hope on the back of her head that she's wrong, and that her life won't stay the same. Questionnaire H I S T O R Y Did you grow up nurtured or neglected? A bit of a rude question, don't you think? But if I must answer, I would say it was a very loving home since the day that arrived. My mother, Miriam, was always there when I needed her. When the night terrors hit or when I was upset, she was always there no matter how big or small the problem. My father, Elias, was no different. He always made time for me, always treated me like I was wanted at home. So yes, I was nurtured and loved. When you were upset, where was your sanctuary? I still have those little spaces, my spaces. One of them is the small cottage by the gardens. No one goes in there, claiming it is haunted but it's beautiful. The light that shines through the stained windows - beautiful. But the real sanctuary was the library at home. Being surrounded by books fills me up like I truly belong there. What were you like in your teenage years? Not as bad as my sister are right now. Sure I would sneak out during the night to go to the library or down to the kitchen for more pastries but I never drank the alcohol from my mother's study. How close are you to your parents? Yes. While I was closer to my mother growing up, I became closer to my father during our years on the road touring the neighboring cities. He always encouraged me to think outside the box, to see the world differently. To always question and find answers. Not to mention he always believed in my abilities as a musician. Do you have any trauma that haunts you? Pass. What is your biggest regret? I am too young to have a big regret. But for now, I regret not taking the last bite of the lemon cake last night. R O M A N C E Have you ever been in love? Yes. His name was Santiago Lesdeman, he's the protagonist of the Romance series called-- of you meant with a real person... No. I have not. What is most important in a partner to you? Honesty, understanding and compromising. Seriously, there could have been so many problems solved in my novels if they had only done those three from the start! Ahem, anyways, those three would be the most important in a partner. How do you display affection? What is your love language? My love language? Perhaps it could be gifts and words of affirmation. Or could it be physical touch? I will be honest, I have no idea. Have you had your first kiss? What was it like? Do I really have to answer this question? Alright, I have not had my first kiss - and if I ever do I want it to be magical like in the romance novels. Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? No. What does marriage mean to you? I have come to terms that marriage for me will be out of convenience and stability. Are you currently crushing on anyone? No. Do you ever consider having children in the future? It is not up to me to consider, but I would enjoy having a child of my own when I am older. P E R S O N A L I T Y Describe your ideal Sunday morning. What. What kind of person do you aspire to be? What. What bad habits do you have? What. If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be? What. What is your greatest fear? What. What are your pet peeves? What. When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others? What. Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue? What.

Even when the couple had more kids, they continued to care for Lily all the same. She was showered with love, gifts, and the best tutors they could buy. Three months after being adopted, Liliana found her love for music after hearing the Duchess play the piano. She learned to play the piano first, followed by the violin, harp, cello, and lute right after in a span of three years. Soon enough, Liliana was entertaining other nobles around the kingdom with her father and mother. And when her mother got pregnant it was only her and Duke Elias. Liliana enjoyed traveling around the different cities, watching the mountains pass by through the carriage's window, and smelling the nature around them. While her time on the road, Lily passed the hours reading all sorts of books. Her father would encourage her to read about history, philosophy, and science - and while Lily enjoyed said topics nothing compared to a romance novel. Since she was small she always dreamed of a tall and dark mysterious person sweeping her off her feet and taking her out on an adventure. To places outside of Varian, far away where maybe just maybe she could find answers to who she is. These days Liliana has grown out of her childish fantasies. She has learned that there might never be answers for her about her biological parents and that she won't be swept off her feet. So she has buried herself into her studies for the past three years, focusing on her music and writing various compositions of her own. She will wait for her father to find a suitable husband for her, another nobleman most likely. Someone that would care for her financially and her children when the time comes. She has accepted it or at least tried to. Yet, there is always that little hope on the back of her head that she's wrong, and that her life won't stay the same. Questionnaire H I S T O R Y Did you grow up nurtured or neglected? A bit of a rude question, don't you think? But if I must answer, I would say it was a very loving home since the day that arrived. My mother, Miriam, was always there when I needed her. When the night terrors hit or when I was upset, she was always there no matter how big or small the problem. My father, Elias, was no different. He always made time for me, always treated me like I was wanted at home. So yes, I was nurtured and loved. When you were upset, where was your sanctuary? I still have those little spaces, my spaces. One of them is the small cottage by the gardens. No one goes in there, claiming it is haunted but it's beautiful. The light that shines through the stained windows - beautiful. But the real sanctuary was the library at home. Being surrounded by books fills me up like I truly belong there. What were you like in your teenage years? Not as bad as my sister are right now. Sure I would sneak out during the night to go to the library or down to the kitchen for more pastries but I never drank the alcohol from my mother's study. How close are you to your parents? Yes. While I was closer to my mother growing up, I became closer to my father during our years on the road touring the neighboring cities. He always encouraged me to think outside the box, to see the world differently. To always question and find answers. Not to mention he always believed in my abilities as a musician. Do you have any trauma that haunts you? Pass. What is your biggest regret? I am too young to have a big regret. But for now, I regret not taking the last bite of the lemon cake last night. R O M A N C E Have you ever been in love? Yes. His name was Santiago Lesdeman, he's the protagonist of the Romance series called-- of you meant with a real person... No. I have not. What is most important in a partner to you? Honesty, understanding and compromising. Seriously, there could have been so many problems solved in my novels if they had only done those three from the start! Ahem, anyways, those three would be the most important in a partner. How do you display affection? What is your love language? My love language? Perhaps it could be gifts and words of affirmation. Or could it be physical touch? I will be honest, I have no idea. Have you had your first kiss? What was it like? Do I really have to answer this question? Alright, I have not had my first kiss - and if I ever do I want it to be magical like in the romance novels. Do you believe in love at first sight? Why or why not? No. What does marriage mean to you? I have come to terms that marriage for me will be out of convenience and stability. Are you currently crushing on anyone? No. Do you ever consider having children in the future? It is not up to me to consider, but I would enjoy having a child of my own when I am older. P E R S O N A L I T Y Describe your ideal Sunday morning. What. What kind of person do you aspire to be? What. What bad habits do you have? What. If you could go back in time and change anything in your past, what would it be? What. What is your greatest fear? What. What are your pet peeves? What. When you are in a sour mood, do you like to be alone or with others? What. Are you more likely to fight with your fists or your tongue? What.
