Lilith Aensland

Lilith Aensland is one of the major characters from the Darkstalkers series.
== Charactah Account ==
Lilith is roughly ten years after 1/3 of Morrigan's soul was sealed in an isolated dimension, it became self-aware. For the next 300 years its awareness and feelings grew, and eventually, so did its instinct to return home. When Jedah created the Majigen, it also drew in this soul. When Jedah noticed it, he struck a deal with it: the soul would gain a physical form and in return it must lure Morrigan and the other Darkstalkers to him. And thus Lilith was born, the childish, cheerful version of Morrigan, who goes to find her "sister." After meeting Morrigan, she fuses with her and becomes a part of her sister, increasing Morrigan's powers.
Lilith is a bright, happy and energetic character. She is very innocent and naïve but is also violent and seems to have some sort of obsession with blood. She doesn't intend to be mean as her personality is meant to be a mix between innocence and cruelty. She simply sees many of her actions as "playing" and enjoys fighting people she sees as being able to satisfy her curiosity. It is unknown of how much of Jedah's plan she truly knew about and the meaning of his salvation, but she didn't like how Jedah "tried to chain her to the darkness again" and at some point knew he was lying to her.
In her boss fight against the player as Felicia, Lilith mentions that she is aware that everyone and the entire demon world will go away including herself. Which seems that even if she is aware that everyone and the world will "go away" and become one with the Fetus of God, that all she cares about is being able to experience what little life she has and being able to go back to a fuller state of being. This is a contrast to Morrigan's character who is a very seasoned succubus who is bored of her life, and could care less about living on until her and Lilith finally fused together. Once Lilith and Morrigan have fused together, their personalities co-exist and exist as one.

== Trivia ==
* Lilith's name comes from a figure in Mesopotamian and Judaic mythology. Accounts and interpretations generally depicts her as a primordial demon.
* Originally during development, Lilith was intended to be a half-angel sister of Morrigan.
** CAPCOM ditched the angel concept because they felt angels were overdone in video games at the time. Later when they came to something closer to Lilith's current design, they planned on making her an androgynous demon who looked similar to Morrigan with a slightly different outfit. Lilith was meant to be male or a futanari while being portrayed as an otoko no ko, or someone (a male) who participates in Japanese crossdressing, which like Western version is heavily conflated with androgynous by non-participants.
* Two of Lilith's moves contrast Morrigan's moves in their title. While Morrigan has Shadow Blade and Darkness Illusion, both having to deal with the dark, Lilith has the same two moves only they're titled Shining Blade and Luminous Illusion, both dealing with the theme of light.
** In a twist of irony, Lilith also can dismember enemies with her standing throw and Luminous Illusion, the only Succubi who can do so.
* Lilith's main colors (purple, blue and red) are similar to Jedah Dohma. It is unknown if this is intentional or not as her own physical body was created from Jedah's power.
** Lilith's dark green inner wings and purple hair are likely a reference/contrast to Morrigan's purple inner wings and iconic green hair.
* Lilith's in-game personality may be a reference to Morrigan's original concept as the cute one of the game.
** Being split from her when she was just born, Lilith is often portrayed as the innocence or happiness Morrigan lost over the years and once fused with her again, in Morrigan's ending, she has a brighter look on life.
** Morrigan was originally meant to be a female vampire and some of Lilith's quotes imply she has some sort of obsession with blood which is something vampires are commonly associated with.
* Lilith was originally voiced by Hiroko Konishi, who also voiced Roll in the Japanese version of Mega Man 8 and had provided miscellaneous voices for the Vampire Hunter drama CDs. She was replaced by Yuka Imai, who also voices Leviathan and Copy X in the Mega Man Zero series. After Imai's retirement from voice acting, Miyuki Sawashiro took over in Onimusha Soul.
* For her cameo in Morrigan's ending in Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (Pocket Fighter), Lilith is voiced by Kae Araki, who also voiced Felicia in the series.
* The time Lilith came into being may change depending on the interpretation, but in the games she was only born 10 years after the separation which would technically make her birth year 1688, but it's possible a birth year isn't listed because CAPCOM wanted to keep things hidden.
* On the PlayStation version of Darkstalkers 3 (Vampire Savior EX), there is a code to play as Lilith with a Morrigan color palette and voice clips called "Lilligan."
* A silent version of Lilith is playable in Vampire Hunter 2 due to coding errors. When Capcom was altering Vampire Savior to Vampire Hunter they left some data of the characters introduced in that game behind, with Lilith having the most making her completely playable just with the lack of a voice and victory music. This also causes the person playing as "Hunter 2 Lilith" to bump into other characters from Vampire Savior and fight them, but since they have less data than Lilith in this version they appear as silent and invisible.
