Lilia Calderu

Lilia Calderu is a Marvel Comics character, who makes her live-action debut in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Disney+ series Agatha All Along.
==Background==
Lilia was born before 1540 in Italy and joined a Sicilian coven of witches. From childhood, Lilia was taught divination from her Maestra, a skill she would use for centuries. When Lilia reached adulthood, she met a fellow witch named Agatha Harkness although they didn't get along too well. Lila's powers foretold the future as she predicted events before they occurred.
Lilia then spent years using her powers to help people by becoming a fortune teller, which continued into the 21st century.

===Agatha All Along===
In November 2023, Lilia is hired to work at the bar mitzvar of a teenager, named William Kaplan, where she reads fortunes to the party-goers. William encounters Lilia and wants to know a little about his future but not too much, so she tells him his lifeline is split into two, which worries him so he decides to go back to the party. Lilia tells William to enjoy the now as she sneaks a sigil into his jacket pocket. However, the spell means that Lilia instantly forgets that she gave him it and that she can't remember which kid came into her tent.
Three years later, after Agatha Harkness is freed from the Scarlet Witch by an unknown teenager, she and the teen visit Lilia and tries to convince her to join Agatha's coven, but Lilia declines as she hasn't spoken to Agatha in years and thinks anyone who would join the coven would be crazy. However, Lilia changes her mind and arrives at Agatha's house in Westview, where she meets potions witch Jennifer Kale and Sharon Davis, who isn't aware of what "party" she has been invited into. The group sing the "Ballad of the Witches' Road" and escape through a trapped door in the basement, onto the legendary Witches' Road.
For the first trial, the group must drink a special poison, much to their horror as their cheeks swell up as well as give them hilusinations, which for Lilia, is of her Maestra and a vision of death. However, Lilia suffers from speech overlaps, which greatly confuses everyone as her sentences don't make sense. The first trial is complete and the coven escape, where they learn Sharon has died because she didn't drink the antidote.
After Sharon is buried, the coven realizes they need to summon another green witch and "Teen" tries to reveal his identity, but his speech is muffled and Lilia realizes he has had a sigil put on him, meaning his name can never be revealed to any kind of witch within a radias. Lilia explains that a sigil is used to protect people from witches by stopping them from saying their name. After this, the coven try to summon a green witch, which reveals to be Rio Vidal, someone from Agatha's past, who joins their coven.
For the second trial, the coven takes part in a 1980s recording studio, for the protection trial for Alice Wu-Gulliver. The coven sings another rendition of the ballad to protect themselves from Alice's family curse, which is eventually solved, before the third trial is found. The group are then ambushed by the Salem Seven but are able to escape. The coven arrives at a treehouse style cabin where the trial is a spirit witch trial, which includes the ghost of Agatha's mother, Evanora Harkness, who vows to take her daughter to the afterlife with her. As Agatha is possessed by her mother, Alice tries to save her but Agatha drains Alice of her power, which kills her. As Teen tries to wake up Alice, Lilia and Jennifer declare it is too late and she has died. Shortly afterward, Lilia realizes that "teen" is actually the son of the Scarlet Witch, Billy Maximoff, but her memory laps makes her forget that she has mentioned it to Jennifer after Billy throws both women, after doing the same to Agatha, off the road and into mud.
After being able to return to the witches road, Lilia confronts Billy who apologizes for throwing her and Jen off the road and he is able to read her mind for the first time. Lilia forgives Billy and helps to complete the divination trial by allowing Billy to ask vital questions about his journey on the road. Billy asks Lilia if she was the one who put the sigil on him, but she is not sure as the person who puts one on someone else, loses their memory of doing so. Billy then asks Lilia if he Billy Kaplan or Billy Maximoff to which she says it is a very good question. However, the Salem Seven have found the coven so Lilia makes everyone leave but stays behind, much to Jennifer's horror. Lilia shuts the door to the iron maiden and awaits the arrival of the Salem Seven. It is here where Lilia puts together all the memory overlaps and reverses the cards, which allows the location to flip upside down. This results in the deaths of all the members of the Salem Seven, along with Lilia who has now accepted her fate and allows herself to be impaled on the swords.
