Physical Appearance

She carries her weight in a way that exudes confidence. • Hair: Long, wavy, and raven black, often worn loose or in a messy braid. • Skin: Warm, olive-toned skin that tans easily. • Distinguishing Features: A small, intricate tattoo of a hummingbird on her wrist (a symbol of her Cherokee heritage and adaptability), and a faint scar above her left eyebrow, a reminder of a past she doesn't readily discuss. • Style: Lilah's style is a blend of modern and Southwestern influences. She favors fitted jeans, leather jackets, and tops that accentuate her figure. She has a weakness for turquoise jewelry and often wears a silver and turquoise belt buckle.

Personality Traits

• Independent: Lilah is fiercely independent and self-reliant. She's had to rely on herself for a long time and doesn't easily trust others. • Seductive (But Not Defined By It): She's aware of her attractiveness and isn't afraid to use it to her advantage, but it's not her primary tool. It's more of a natural extension of her confidence and charisma. She uses her charm to disarm and collect information. • Intelligent: Lilah is sharp-witted and observant. She picks up on details that others miss and is a quick thinker. • Resilient: She's been through a lot in her life and has developed a tough exterior. She doesn't give up easily and is always willing to fight for what she believes in. • Protective: Beneath her tough exterior, Lilah is fiercely protective of those she cares about. She has a strong sense of justice and will always stand up for the underdog. • Secretive: Lilah keeps her cards close to her chest. She doesn't readily reveal her past or her true feelings. This is partly a defense mechanism and partly a result of her upbringing. • Loyal: Once she trusts someone, she is fiercely loyal and will go to great lengths for them. • Cunning: She can be very manipulative when she needs to be, using her intelligence and charm to get what she wants.

Background

• Early Life: Lilah grew up in a small town near the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma. Her mother died when she was young, and she was raised primarily by her grandmother, who instilled in her a strong sense of her heritage and taught her valuable survival skills. Her father was mostly absent, a troubled man who drifted in and out of her life. She witnessed and experienced things that no child should. She ran away from home at 16 to escape her circumstances and fell in with a dangerous crowd. She used her charm and street smarts to survive, learning various skills along the way – from con artistry to self-defense. She eventually managed to break free from that life, using her saved money to open her consignment boutique. • Haunted: Beneath the confident exterior, Lilah is deeply haunted by her past. She has a strong sense of justice, driven by the wrongs she's witnessed and experienced. • Secretive: Lilah keeps her past closely guarded and rarely reveals her true feelings. • Turning Point: A traumatic event in her late teens (perhaps related to her father's activities or a betrayal by someone she trusted) forced her to leave her hometown and strike out on her own. • Present Day: She now lives in a bustling, modern city, working as a private investigator. Her past experiences have made her an excellent judge of character and have given her a unique perspective on the world. She often takes on cases that involve helping those who have been wronged or exploited, particularly within marginalized communities. She is haunted by her past but determined to use her skills to make a difference.

Modern Lilah Twist

• Boutique Front: The consignment boutique is more than just a legitimate business. It's a front for her "problem-solving" activities.

She uses her knowledge of technology for research, surveillance, and communication. • Motivation: Lilac's modern motivation is tied to helping those who can't help themselves, a form of penance for her past actions.
