Personality
Stubborn ∞ Awkward ∞ Honest ∞ Loner ∞ Loyal ∞ Bubbly ∞ Motherly ∞ Dark Humored
On the outside looking in, Lilith is one of the most happy, socially awkward people that you could ever meet. Always saying something goofy, and having a way with words, she's the kind of girl to have a handful of friends - though she prefers spending her time alone. Having social anxiety is perhaps the reason for her social awkwardness, which causes her to say and do really random things in public. Lilith is the type of girl that may come off as a bish from time to time. Rather this is because of her sarcastic remarks or the way she rolled her eyes - well, that's up to you.
The fun, somewhat shy, bubbly side is the mask that Lilith wears on a day to day basis. However, that's the cover-up that she puts on. The truth is, Lilith suffers from depression. The girl tends to keep her emotions bottled inside and simply does her best to release them through writing, studying, and marijuana usage. Hot headed as they come, it's a fortunate thing that Lilith knows when to bite her tongue. If she blows up on you, you've had that shit coming for a long while.
Lilith is a very loyal person, and will do practically anything for her friends. She doesn't trust or get attached to too many people, so when and if you hurt her, expect her to cut you out of her life completely. A promise means everything, and she will never break one. Lilith is honest to her core, and her respect is earned. She has no time for cruel or false intentions, and expects people to treat her with that same respect.
She is typically found reading or listening to music. She enjoys YA novels like The Maze Runner, Harry Potter, and the like; There's also a good mix of adult novelists like Stephen King. With a close emotional connection to the night sky, Lilith enjoys spending hours outside at night staring at the stars. An even stronger connection to the ocean, she has no hesitation with driving down to Virginia beach for the weekend. Stubborn as can be, she sometimes has trouble accepting things as how they are. Her witty remarks often get her called sharp tongued; her dark humor winds up in her getting called crazy here and there.
The young woman hates drama, gossip, and any other thing of the sort - though she has no problem listening to it. She just doesn't want to be an actual part of it. Of course, if you ask her how she is doing, you will receive a great and a goofy thumbs up. Not being able to express herself truthfully angers her to no end - though, just like her true feelings, she doesn't let it show. In short, the girl is a half read book. To know her, you must first know the whole story.
History
TRIGGER WARNING: Suicidal ideation, self harm, and very brief mentions of drug use.
Born in the Underworld, Lilith was left by Hecate at a hospital in a small Western North Carolina town. A nurse - Claire - found Lilith and took her under her wing for the night until child services could get involved. Something about the child had caught Claire’s eye. The young woman adopted Lilith when Lil was roughly six months old. Claire immediately called up her parents in Ohio to tell them the news. Ecstatic, John and Christine jumped at the choice to have their only daughter move back home with promises of helping with the baby. Claire was determined to make it on her own, politely declining her parents' help, though they did frequently visit and exchange gifts.
Growing up with a single mother who worked long hours, Lilith was often left to be cared for by babysitters. Claire was always sure to make sure that her daughter had whatever she needed.
Lilith’s grandparents moved to North Carolina for Claire to help take care of Christine. Wanting to be with her mother during her final days, Claire spent most of her time either at work or helping the older woman. That left Grandpa John to look after Lilith most days.
Being an only child, everyone did their best to make sure that Lilith had the best and was happy. Christine showed the girl how to cook and clean. John taught her how to change the oil in a car, how to fix a sink, and other things that would help her on her path to independence. Her mother Claire worked long hours at the ER, but was always sure to make time for Lilith where she could.
At school, Lilith found her love for books. It was clear that the little girl had an active imagination, as she loved to tell stories to her class. Her grades were good, she was happy. All of her life, Lilith had seen strange things. However, around the age of eight, these things became more prominent.
She started to see monsters on the playground, and ghosts at the mall. When she first started seeing ghosts, she didn't realize that these people were invisible to everyone else, not that they were dead. Little Lilith would talk to these ghosts in public, causing her to get questionable looks from her family, teachers, and strangers. At the age of nine, one of the teachers suggested that she speak to the school counselor, as it was a little out of the normal to still have imaginary friends at this age. Lilith didn't completely understand why she was being made to talk to someone, but she went along with a few sessions. She gathered quickly what was going on, however, and stopped talking about what she saw in public a little after six months of seeing the counselor. Hearing the teachers talk to her parents about seeing things that 'weren't there' started to make her think something was wrong with her.
At the age of eleven, Lilith began to be bullied by the other kids. They had no basis for doing so - just the normal elementary school stuff. The children wanted someone to make fun of, and she just so happened to be the victim. This caused her to be an outsider, and pull away from most of the other children. She continued to see the ghosts and mythological things as well. Centaurs running across the fields; Cyclopes walking the streets.
At the age of thirteen, she made a new friend - Kevin. Over a years time, she and Kevin grew close, sharing secrets and laughing together in the back of the class. Lilith even told the boy about the things that she saw. For the first time in a long time, Kevin was the only person that didn't think she was crazy. However, the other children were mean to Kevin as well. He was a quiet guy, and therefore he was different; the kids didn't like different. When Lilith turned thirteen, Kevin started acting strange. It was like he was on high alert, always looking out for something or someone. He hardly spoke anymore. He and Lilith grew distant. Two months after her thirteenth birthday, a hellhound tried to attack Lilith. Kevin defended her, but tried to act as if nothing happened after they had gotten to safety. Lilith wasn't about to stand for it. She kept pressuring her friend until he gave her the information that she wanted. At first, Lilith thought he was insane, but as she took the time to piece together the strange parts of her life with the new information, the more it made sense. Kevin proceeded to explain this to her parents as well. The decision to send her to Camp Half-blood was unanimous.
She packed her bags and was sent to CHB that summer where she was given a place to stay. It was nice to have a place to go to with people who were like her, but it took some time to get used to. Her first two years at CHB, she just attended for the summer. While Lilith had been warned about the danger of being in the outside world, she still wanted to try and get the normal high school experience. High School turned out to be a nightmare for her. The kids got meaner, the monsters still tried to attack, putting everyone that she was around in danger. She began to blame herself for small things at first; nothing she did anymore was right. She wasn't happy with her appearance or personality, and kept trying to change herself. It seemed like no matter where she went, she never fit in, not even at Camp. She has been a year round camper for the last five years.
If you asked Lilith, she wouldn't be able to tell you what went wrong to make her feel the way she does.
Maybe it was the bullying. Maybe it wasn't. Perhaps it was the death of her grandmother Freshman year that was really the final nail in the coffin. Whatever it was that set off her depression, Lilith could never figure it out. All she knew was that she was full of self hatred. Where she used to see the world in colors she now often saw things in shades of grey. Once known to have a decent amount of friends, the young woman now spent most of her time alone.
High school came with its own set of problems. Senior class boys that used you and tossed you away; Girls that would make fun of you for the dumbest shit. The parties full of booze and other things. Lilith's grades fell off drastically during her second semester of her Freshman year, causing her mother to become concerned. Lilith shrugged off her mothers questions, locking herself in her bedroom most of the time she was home.
The self harming started that summer. If you asked Lilith what led her to pick up the razor, she would tell you: "I feel too much." For Lilith, cutting was a way to control her emotions. She would much rather be in physical pain than emotional pain. With the self harm came the suicidal thoughts at three in the morning. While she never acted upon them, sometimes she wished that she had.
She tried making friends at CHB, only to fail over and over. She was awkward, and always seemed to say the wrong thing. By the age of fifteen she had all but completely isolated herself from the world. The only friends she needed were her music, books and pens. She channeled her frustration and sadness into her training, staying in the practice arena for hours at a time. More often than not, Lilith came back to the Cabins with bruises and cuts everywhere. She aimed to try and be the best at something; swordsmanship and hand to hand combat seemed to be two things that it was good to be good at.
To this day, Lilith still isolates herself, though she is trying to be more outgoing. So far, it only seems to work 10% of the time.

Legacy
Unetlanvhi (Great Spirit of the Cherokee Tribe)
Fatal Flaw
Personal Loyalty: Lilith would do anything for those she cares about. It's landed her in sticky situations time and time again; The young woman never seems to learn her lesson, and continuously puts herself in horrible conditions for other people. Her 'circle' is very small, causing her to hold the few she cares about near and dear. She often sees the potential in people more than what they have shown her they are. It takes a lot of wrong doing and heartbreak for Lil to actually cut you out of her life.
Weapons
- Her Stygian Iron sword, Shadow, disguised as pendant on her necklace.
- Celestial Bronze throwing knives. Each of these are disguised as plain silver band rings on her right hand. The rings are located on her index, middle, and ring fingers.
Demigod Abilities
Pertaining to Unetlanvhi:- Spiritually Gifted: Ever since she was little, Lilith has always heard 'voices' in her head. Little did she know that these were her own spirit guides. Through years and years of training, and lots of trial and error, Lilith can now safely and effectively communicate with her spirit guides. She does this mostly through tarot, using her pendulum, and keeping her eyes open for 'angel numbers'. She also still hears her guides voices in her head, but she can now chose when to receive their messages instead of having all of theirs and her thoughts jumbled as one. Lilith communicates with her spirit guides for guidance and clarity. While she will often ask her guides questions for other people, the answers can vary from super helpful to a simple 'fuck off'. Ultimately, these are Lilith guides, and they are here for her - not for you. Their answers are attuned to Lilith, and her life. While she might be able to ask her guides for guidance for you, they aren't going to be able to give you the clarity that you are seeking. When Lilith asks for guidance from her spirit guides for other people, it is easiest to receive answers back for the people who have the strongest emotional connections to Lilith.
- Can sense when water or food sources have been poisoned/tampered with.
- Wither and Bloom: Lilith can suck the life out of anything living and natural, and can also give that energy back as she see's fit. She can use this power to heal people - though she isn't strong enough to bring anyone back from the brink of death with it (just like she can't outright kill anyone with it). Lilith can also heal herself by siphoning energy off of others.
Pertaining to Hecate:- Ghost Whisperer: Can see, hear, and talk to ghosts.
- Animal Whisperer: Lilith can speak telepathically to dogs & snakes, as they are heavily associate and believed to be the sacred animals of Hecate.
- Into the Shadows: Due to Hecates ability to manipulate shadows, Lilith can fade into the darkness and become a shadow herself. She can only do this a few times per day, seeing as how it takes so much energy out of her. Lilith prefers to use this power at night, seeing as how Hecates powers are stronger at night and it's easier to fade into black when it's already dark out.
- Mist Manipulation: Thanks to her mother, Lilith has a power known as Mist Manipulation, meaning that she controls the veil between the mundane and mythical worlds. For example, the young woman can make herself seem closer or further from you. She can also manipulate articles of clothing, hair color, and the features of someones face. She can disguise objects, create new objects, or make them disappear completely from view. Lilith can basically make you see what she wants.
- Flame Keeper: Lilith can bend the element of fire to her will. The flames that come from her hands are blue, though no one really knows the reason as to why. The only thing special about the fire that she wields is it's color.
- Necromancer: Lilith can call three dead warriors to fight along her side during battle. They can be defeated by decapitation.
- Potion Brewing: Through reading various potion books, lessons and doing some experimenting Lilith is a master at brewing certain potions. She sells them for profits around camp.
- Jolly Good Fellow: Laughing potion. Takes fifteen minutes to make. Puts the drinker into a fit of hysterical laughter for an hour. Green in color. Side affects include laughing.
- Heartthrob: Love potion. Takes a week to make, and lasts for two weeks. Red in color. The drinker will fall in to a deep infatuation with the first person they see after drinking the potion. Side affects include two hundred missed calls, sweet texts that make you want to puke, theft of all your hoodies and an annoying human pet that won't leave your side for a full fourteen days.
- Happy Thoughts: Calming potion. Takes two days to make, lasts for eight hours. Clear in color. Drinker will experience a calming affect that will eventually result in a blissful, light sleep. This potion helps to calm the persons nerves after a trauma or before a test. It won't make you forget what is making you upset, but rather help you to handle it in a way that doesn't appear to be a mental break down. Perfect for people with anxiety.
- Draught of Truth: Truth potion. Two weeks creation process, lasts until all three questions are answered, and appears a milky white in color. The drinker of this potion will have to answer three questions completely honest. Chose your questions wisely.
- Nauseous Nonsense: Puking potion. Three hours creation time; lasts fifteen minutes. Appears orange in color, and produces a foul odor that is usually compared to that of gym socks. Anyone who drinks this potion will experience uncontrolled vomiting for a full fifteen minutes immediately after drinking it.
- Busy Bee: Energy potion. Takes one day to make, lasts for three days. Blue in color. Affects include absolutely no sleep for a full seventy-two hours. After the affects wear off, this potion will cause the drinker to sleep for a full three days afterward.
- Though all of these potions have their certain colors, all of them are nearly tasteless. Some people may experience a slight after taste of strawberries from the love potion, lemons from the energy potion, etc.
- These are the potions that Lilith specializes in, and are guaranteed to work. If you need a different potion made, you are more than welcome to ask. However the price may be high, and it will take a while to make through a hectic process of trial and error. While these potions do take a second or two to make, Lilith does try to keep of few of each in stock at all times. She's always looking to expand her skill set and is constantly working on mastering a new potion. Any one who helps test 'new' potions will receive a discount on their next order.
Witchy Ways: (Not an actual power/Ability, but I felt it should be listed here).Lilith has spent a great deal of her time at camp studying lent grimoires', learning from fellow siblings, practicing her spell work, etc. She considers herself an Earth Witch, but is in the very beginning stages. She's been able to pull off some big spells here and there, but that has mostly been with other witches. Most of her spells are aimed towards healing, and while she knows about hexes, she has never performed any. Lilith also has a large knowledge of plants and their uses. She can identify a wide variety of plants, thanks to the teachings of the Demeter kids.
