Name: Lilith (Lily, only by Rosella) Age: Looks about 25 years, but she's actually about 400 years old. Family Role: Mother figure Appearance: [hider=Appearance:] [img] https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/8c/f4/81/8cf4811dc7faaee268af025272241168.jpg [/img] **Height of about 5 feet 8 inches, with a slim, sturdy build. Her eyes are a sharp, piercing periwinkle and her silvery-white hair falls to the middle of her back. She has many piercings in her ears (mostly keeps her helix piercings in) and one on the left side of her nose. Lilith is drawn to darker clothing that is comfortable (sweatpants, tank tops, bralettes, leggings, so on) unless it pertains to work (She's required a white shirt or blouse and navy pants or a skirt). Makeup-wise, she tends to wear dark lipsticks and eyeliner daily. [/hider] Placement and Design of Contract Seal: Her contract seal is located on her right shoulder blade, a black minimalistic representation of a marigold head without the stem. History: Lilith was a demon born in the demon realm and lived among her own there for the first hundred years. She was then required (after being taught how to induce nightmares) to go out into the human realm to feed. She went between realms constantly for another two hundred years or so, eventually coming up with her stones in place of sitting on people (who sat on people in the modern age?) and collected the nightmares that way. She eventually grew tired of her demon kind (they were very one-dimensional and often liked to boast, Lilith did not have the patience for that) and opted to live in the human realm then on. At first it was pretty difficult; she needed to get a human job to pay for her human apartment and her human clothes. Lilith did a few odd jobs (mail carrier, bartender, etc.) to try and get that money but it usually ended up not being enough so she had to move. This was when she began to dabble in revenge work; giving people nightmares (ex-boyfriend, cheating girlfriend, boss, etc.) in exchange for a place to crash and some cash. She was paid sometimes to do this for many nights, causing people to go into a delirium. It worked out for a bit, but soon enough one of her employers began to push her too much, trying to get her to do deeds beyond her power. The abuse of power was enough to get Lilith to stop, to say the least. One night, she was planning on inducing a nightmare from a child, Rosella. But Lilith stepped on a toy and caused the girl to wake up. The girl, oddly enough, began to ask Lilith many questions and the demoness was compelled to sit and talk to her. Upon learning she was alone, Lilith could only feel sympathy and decided to stay with her. It has been about a year since then. Abilities: -[b]Enchanted Weights[/b]: Instead of sitting on someone to induce the nightmare, she uses black, disc-like stones that she can place on them to trigger their fears in their sleep and absorb the fear they give off. If anyone else were to hold these, they would begin to see illusions of their worst fears before their very eyes. -[b]Phasing[/b]: To get into houses and apartments, Lilith can pass through even the smallest of cracks as a white mist (locks, window cracks, so on). If there is a seal preventing air flow or an electric current, she cannot pass through it. -[b]Demon strength & agility[/b]: As a demon, she is much stronger and faster than regular humans, though maybe not so much as other demons. -[b]Sleepless[/b]: Lilith doesn't need much sleep to function daily, as most her energy comes from nightmares. As such, she is usually never asleep. -[b]Cooking[/b]: Lilith has learned from being at the cafe how to cook pretty well. She has many cookbooks she follows and very much enjoys making new dishes. Occupation/Work: Day - She's a cafe waitress, even though she doesn't really look the part. Night - Lilith is responsible for giving people nightmares; she is a mare (not the horse, the demon) so she primarily feeds off the fear people have in their sleep. She only needs to give seven people nightmares per night. Sometimes she will give this nightmare energy to other demons if they request it (for a good price). Personality Traits and Quirks: Lilith is a very stoic, aloof demoness with a rather brief list of friends. She can come across as cold and harsh, hardly ever participating in small talk or exchanging pleasantries. She doesn’t feel the need to really deal with other people's problems, or trouble then with her own issues. She deals with her own problems by herself, without outside intervention just because she believes she can hold her own. Lilith is not unkind, despite her frigid exterior. If she has warmed up to a person, she will go out of her way to help them when she can, or take care of them. Lilith is thoughtful and attentive to even the smallest of details so she knows usually when she can aid someone. She has a soft spot for kids and animals, so she spoils them rotten with food and attention, lavishing them with gifts and trying her best to comfort them. She is very giving of her time with those who are not prideful or rude, softening her aura just a tad to show her sense of trust. If anyone were to hurt those she loved (or even worse, misused her loyalty), Lilith can be quick to bare her teeth and cause some harm. She tends to spoil Rosella and can’t help but feed animals in the street when she can. Sometimes she even brings homeless animals into the apartment (she isn’t usually allowed to keep them). Lilith also loves to experiment in the kitchen (which can be both a good or bad thing, depending on whether the recipe is complex).
