Vayikra, 45

Now in the depth of the great abyss, there is a certain hot fiery female spirit named Lilith, who at first cohabited with man. For when man was created and his body completed, a thousand spirits from the left side assembled round that body, each endeavouring to enter, until at last a cloud descended and drove them away...

Independent & Private RP blog for the figure Lilith, cast in a semi-positive light. Original lore inspired by various legends in J*daism.

Sidemuses: Galizur, Abaddon, Samyaza, Azazel, Zarviel, Taba'et, Dobah, Anzu + others.

... Lilith the wicked, may she be destroyed quickly in our days, amen.

Please keep my family in your kindest thoughts. My mother has her cancer check-up tomorrow after entering remission 🙏 I'm very restless!

Not me being insane and wanting to redraw the panels of this FC 😭

"Well, now, if it's a challenge..." They had to at least try. "Hmm... a secret word..." It could be anything. Perhaps something mundane, or something more esoteric. It could be modern or ancient, or- "Could it be bumblebee?"

[sitraachara]

"Not today..." Driving the spoon in the tub, she began to scrape as much of the orange desert into the bowl of it.

"Maybe tomorrow." Amusement softened her eyelids as a faint smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth. She tipped the scoop of ice-cream toward Beelzebub in a silent offering. "Try again."

[regina-insatiabilis]

Gasp! Changing the magic words. Hmm... well, if please wouldn't do it, perhaps-

"Moon of my life, may I have some of the ice cream? I will trade handsomely for it..."

[sitraachara]

"Haggling, huh? Already gave up on trying to figure out my secret word?"

[regina-insatiabilis]

"Please, Ahuvai~?"

[sitraachara]

"That's not the magic word anymore." Promptly shoves another spoonful of ice-cream in her mouth.

[regina-insatiabilis]

"...can I have some?"

[sitraachara]

"Magic word."

[sitraachara]

She's sitting cross-legged on the floor and eating ice-cream straight from the tube with a wooden spoon. Her eyes peer up at you, spoon pressing against her bottom lip as she slowly slips it out of her mouth. It's mango flavored.

[sitraachara]

Optimistic nihilism has frankly saved my life, and I fully intend to channel that into Lilith. If there's one thing I will project onto her, it will be this.

They have had the same song stuck in their head all damn day. It hadn't been a problem earlier, when they were finishing up paperwork, but now they were trying to relax and they couldn't seem to do that without humming, "I didn't mean to hurt you, you didn't have a clue, so you went out and got busy, and found somebody new-"

[sitraachara]

"And now we'll be... just friends! Ohhh, we will be... just friends!" A familiar voice filled the stillness with her sing-shouting from the other room.

[sitraachara]

My voice claim for her

[sitraachara]

[sitraachara]

The hardest thing to pin down for Lilith is her voice.

She's naturally a spitfire without a filter who wears her heart on her sleeve, but she has her soft moments as a storyteller when she slows down, becoming verbose in her descriptions, almost as if she's trying to paint pictures with her words.

There's also the matter of her growth that I need to consider, as that adds to her general disposition. Despite her innate headstrong attitude, she does eventually learn the necessity that comes with becoming reserved in her reactions and responses.

She learns to weaponize her silence a couple of centuries after the flood due to the rise of the overlords within Hell, the political system cementing itself firmly within Hell's authority, and her own grief in regards to the nephilim children who died.

I think what's difficult to navigate for me right now, is that Lilith can regress to her innate self with certain muses depending on what they mean to her. And there's also the issue of establishing when, in the timeline, you're meeting her.

[sitraachara]

The greatest tragedies upon becoming a demon, is that Lilith can't bask in a myriad of things that she used to like. Conceiving aside, she's barred from:

touching silver

Being in the vicinity of a variety of plants and flowers that are used against demons (plants she used to frolic in - copes through painting them from her memory)

Seeing the moon - she can only visit earth during New Moon days and solar eclipses (copes through painting it from her memory, and looking at pictures of it)

[sitraachara]

What is Lilith's favourite color?

"I like shades of plum and purples, reds, greens and silver. I like the shades that remind me of the night, life and the twinkle of the stars. But most of all, I like the colours that remind me of the radiance of the moon... I haven't seen it since the flood. I can hardly recall the shape of its craters. I wonder if the rabbit on the moon still exists as I imagine it..."
