Name: Lilith Strathfeld
Age: 23
Race: Human
Physical Description: Dark brown eyes, snow blond hair cut in a tellum (Reverse mullet), White skin, Thin and fragile looking, 5'4" tall. Always wearing a large, tight, black, leather, hooded, cloak. Along with a white, expressionless mask, and large leather messenger bag.
Personality: Lilith is usually very cheerful, and quick to trust. She can be quite mischievous, playing pranks on people she mistakenly believes, wont mind. Though because of her appearance and mischief, she is often shunned, and as a result, lonely. She is also very controlling, not wanting to loose anyone that she cares about.
Weapons: A black bone wand and small curved dagger.
Powers: Lilith has an intermediate knowledge of witchcraft in general, and a deep knowledge of Necromancy. However her limitation lies in the fact that she uses strong and resilient spirits to inhabit the corpses she wants to control. These spirits, while more reliable and durable, put a greater strain on her. She is unable to hold a spirit in a corps and bend it to her will for more than an hour at a time, lest she collapse from the strain.
History: Lilith grew up in what, from all outside appearances, should have been a comfortable life. Her family wasn't wealthy, but they were higher than the middle class. As a means for this, her parents were nearly always busy. And like all children who feel they aren't getting enough attention, Lilith started acting out. Small pranks here and there, all in the name of being noticed. Her nanny, Esmeralda, always advised against such things, but was always there to bail Lilith out of trouble. Though as time went on, these small pranks just weren't cutting it, things started to escalate. Punishments as well. Esmeralda could do less and less to reduce the punishments as well. So in an attempt to entertain Lilith, she began to teach Lilith basic and harmless witchcraft. Though keeping their lessons secret proved especially difficult when Lilith wanted to either, show off what she had learned, or pull even more elaborate pranks.
Many years passed with Lilith learning more and more of the art of witchcraft. The bond between Lilith and Esmeralda having grown to that of true kinship. Making things much worse when Esmeralda became extremely ill. Lilith's parents actually took notice of how much more time she spent with Esmeralda, than her usual daily activities. Spending nearly every hour of the day with Esmeralda. Trying nearly every incantation she knew, in order to save her sister. Nothing worked, and they were both forced to face the harsh realty when Esmeralda took her last agonized breath.
Lilith became a recluse for may months after Esmeralda's death. Pouring over all of Esmeralda's old books, hidden away, lest her parents discover them among Esmeralda's possessions and connect a few dots. She read all that she could and learned in the memory of Esmeralda. But one day she stumbled upon a tome on the rites and rituals of Necromancy. Seeing at once, and being blinded by, the benefits of being able to bring back her friend.
For months she studied and gathered ingredients. Learning the ritual by heart. She knew she was as ready as she ever would be. So on a full moon night Lilith headed down to the family grave yard, where she had demanded Esmeralda be buried. Taking her time to dig up her dead friend. Not bothered by the stench of decay, she left the casket open and began the ritual. Taking several hours and draining her severely, she trudged on until, at the closing of the ritual, she beheld her friend stirring in her casket. Exclaiming at how happy she was to see Esmeralda, she was immediately horrified at the presence she beheld from within the body of her friend. It's wild expression of blood lust fixed on Lilith, but with a hint of pain, seemed to be forced to look away. The creature, for now that's all that she was, let out an unearthly scream and leapt bounding toward the house.
Lilith was still in shock at what she had set loose, this wasn't her beloved friend and sister. That's right, she remembered, she hadn't bothered to read in detail what, choosing the soul that would inhabit the corpse, would entail. Responsible for snapping her back into consciousness were the screams coming from her house. She ran toward the house, being the one person who knew how to bring down her creation. Focused in her determination she ignored the many victims, running straight for the creature. Immediately subduing it with an incantation. Then proceeding to quickly exorcise the spirit from it's body. When she was done and the twisted spirit relinquished it's vessel Lilith collapsed of exhaustion.
waking up to the smell of death, she immediately recalled everything that had transpired the previous night and vomited. After recovering she knew that she couldn't stay in a place this tainted. So she gathered everything she dared bring. Esmeralda's old cloak and books, as well as a few of the tools she knew she would need. Leaving everything behind in the house of her nightmares.
Lilith has sine traveled from town to town, becoming better at choosing and controlling spirits she places in corpses. Paying her way by providing the service of allowing families to speak to dead relatives, and the occasional removal of evil spirits. Some of which were placed there by herself. Lilith always carries around the full skeleton, who's bones have been inscribed with Necromancy inscriptions, so as to provide herself with a quick bodyguard/scape goat.
