Intro post!!!
Lila Heather Martin
Lila was born in Metropolis to a young couple: a man in college and a woman halfway through beauty school. Lila didn’t get a lot of time with either of them, though.
Lila’s father disappeared when she was about 4 years old, and her mother had died at about the same time. Nobody told her what had happened, since she was so little. She was sent to live with her auntie in Gotham, only really knowing that “mommy and daddy are gone, Titi Amaya’s taking care of you now”
Lila went to public school, and while she was decently intelligent, she struggled behaviorally. She was a nice enough girl in elementary, but she was very blunt. When she didn’t like another child, she would tell them up front and walk away from them. Never malicious, just honest. She wasn’t particularly liked either, so it seemed to work out. She was alone often. When she was at home, most of her time was spent helping Amaya around the house.
Lila got a computer when she was 14 so she could do schoolwork. She got the bright idea to try looking for her father online— for any information about him. It didn’t take a lot of searching for her to find that he was alive. In prison. A metahuman prison. He didn’t look the way she remembered from her brief memories of him. His face was replaced with a flaming skull, and his kind caring attitude she remembered in glimpses was gone.
Lila got more and more apathetic and solitary as the years went on. She didn’t like to do things without a reason, especially not hurting people contrary to popular belief. It’s when she gets treated poorly that she gets aggressive. In high school, this led to many suspensions for fighting.
She had only one friend: a girl named Calla Lily who was just as solitary and resentful. Calla was much more reserved about her attitude towards everything, but she finally felt comfortable around Lila. When they graduated, they stayed close. Calla went to law school, and Lila just got whatever jobs would keep herself afloat.
Leading up to her 20th birthday, Lila started to feel incredibly sick. Mentally and physically, her health gradually tanked. When the day came, her new low reached a fever pitch. She blacked out. When she came to, she realized that she got the worst birthday present ever. She turned out like her dad: a skeletal atomic freak.
