Lilith La Fleur

Lilith La Fleur is a Moon Elf/Sun Elf Phantom Rogue and member of the Nightmare Krew. This character is played by Hannah Minshew.
==Early Life==
Lilith was born the only child of Grand Duchess Stephana La Fleur and Duke Leon La Fleur in the Grand Duchy of Revan. Lilith's family has ruled over Revan and its surrounding lands since the signing of the treaty and the creation of the Amber Cascades Kingdom.
During the initial century of her life, Lilith remained within the opulent confines of the palace. To nurture her mind, a retinue of tutors was enlisted to educate her in the multifaceted knowledge befitting the Dauphin. Additionally, companions were ushered into the palace, aiming to alleviate the solitude that pervaded Lilith's days. However, despite these efforts, her interactions with her parents were sporadic, limited mostly to formal state affairs, leaving her to navigate a childhood steeped in isolation. 
==Exploration of the Maison de Rêves ==
Approaching her 78th birthday, Lilith's discontent surged as she grappled with neglect and an alarming dearth of insight into the city slated for her future rule. Fueled by an unyielding curiosity, she began to explore the concealed passages nestled within the palace walls. These hidden pathways were most likely built eons earlier and the knowledge lost to only those who were curious and sharp eyed enough to look. Navigating these secret corridors, Lilith gained entry to chambers where she discreetly observed council meetings and overheard pivotal conversations, gaining the insights she had been denied. These concealed routes also facilitated her surveillance of her parents' movements within the castle's precincts.
Once she had exhausted the palace's secret tunnels, Lilith turned her focus to the passages that led to the perilous labyrinth known as the Maison de Rêves—the bone-laden catacombs snaking beneath Revan's hilled city. With determined resolve, she ventured into these forbidden pathways, navigating traps, cave-ins, and shadowy corridors. Her hunger to journey beyond the palace limits and unravel the mysteries of the city, previously known to her only through books, urged her to seek a passage leading to one of the lower districts.
==The Lower City==
After years of exploration in the catacombs, Lilith had worked out a series of paths that would spit her out into the bustling streets of Revan's Lower City. 
Lilith soon discovered that the lower city was not how it had been described in the books and ledgers she was made to study. Those tomes told of a bustling, thriving marketplace where the more common folk gathered to sell their colorful goods and trinkets from all across Cordia. What she found, instead, was a crowded, cramped, dark maze of alleys and dirty streets. The lower city was sick and from the little Lilith had overheard from her mother and her advisors, nothing was being done about it.
Lilith kept going back, kept venturing deeper into the city. No books would teach her what she needed to know now. If she was to be the leader they were grooming her for, She spent months learning new neighborhoods and pathways. Even longer visiting shops and relishing in the blank stares and lack of recognition the business owners afforded her. How could they recognize the heir to Revan when she hadn’t ever been seen except in overembelished portraits? She was no one. And she loved it.
==Revani Street Gang ==
Growing too comfortable with her double life led Lilith to attempt her first pocket pick - just to see if she could do it. This led to a chase with the city guard and a head on collision with a broad chested tiefling and his sharp eyed sister. Christopher and Rosaline Dubois were the result of that slip up. A sibling duo born and raised in the lower city, they were quick, deadly and everything Lilith wanted to be. 
Lilith soon fell in with their group. Alva, Erris and Odrin soon called Lilith their friend. Through their tutelage, Lilith learned the skills needed to fit in and hold her own with the rogueish band. The group soon called the run down pub, Ville Basse, their headquarters."After a year together, I felt more like myself than I had ever before. They showed me what family could mean. They showed me that you could choose to build something. It would be hard, but lasting. For the first time in my life, I felt chosen. Not because someone had to, but because they wanted me. Not the heir to Revan - I never divulged that detail. I told them my mother worked in the palace. Not exactly a lie - but their friend." - unsent correspondence from Lilith La Fleur to Ember of a Forgotten FireLilith and Christopher's connection deepened, reaching a pivotal milestone when Christopher declared his love for her. In a heartwarming response, Lilith reciprocated, saying, "I love you," for the first time to a romantic partner.
== Revan's Mysterious Disappearances==
Disappearances began to plague the middle and lower city of Revan. First it began with orphans. Then it quickly spread to whole families in the poorer neighborhoods. Rumors of plague ran rampant and tension was thick. Weeks into the disappearances, Erris vanished. 
Lilith, not believing the rumors of plague began using the old passageways and secret rooms in the palace to spy on more council meetings to see if she could glean what, if anything, was being done to help Revani citizens. Lilith learned that the catacombs beneath the palace were somehow involved in the abductions. The Sage of Revan, an advisor to the council and the duchess, had been in conversation with a figure just out of sight.
==Banishment from Revan==
Desperate to find out what happened to her friend, Lilith ventured into the Maison de Rêves that same night in hopes she would find Erris and the one responsible. "I found myself at a bone door. One of hundreds in the House of Dreams, I pushed through into the tunnels speeding past sarcophagi and bones. The dead whispering to me where my path was. I felt their presence guiding me in a direction. Deeper I went. The hours of the morning crept upon me, but I couldn’t turn back. This was different. There was a deep magic guiding me forward and it was my responsibility to heed it." - unsent correspondence from Lilith La Fleur to Ember of a Forgotten FireLilith pushed through a second door made of bones. The skulls adorned with rubies and sapphires. Within lay abducted Revanis, trapped within cages crafted from the city's ancestral bones. Among the captives, Lilith found Erris injured but alive. Faced with the heart-wrenching realization that Lilith would have to leave Erris to go find help, she departed to the screams of her friend begging her to stay. 
Instead of running to Ville Basse, Lilith ran to Christopher's apartment for aid. The two made their way back to the bejeweled bone door, only to find the room cleared of people and the Sage of Revan waiting for them. 
After a confrontation with Lucien the Sage, Christopher was killed and Lilith branded with a curse and told to flee the duchy and never return. The consequence of coming back to Revan being the death of her family."It all happened so fast. Christopher dead by a killing curse. Me on the ground screaming in pain as a rune traced it’s way up my neck. A threat not to my life, but to my family and the innocents I had dragged into it. I took Chrisopher's green jacket, his blades and I left." - correspondence from Lilith La Fleur to Erris Delisle
