Lilian Larimarias

**Lilian Larimarias**, often referred to simply as **Lily**, was a female Ordovician member of the Dawns, a group of privateers and freedom fighters who fought against tyranny and corruption throughout the Cassiopeia Galaxy. Originally from the planet Ordovici, Larimarias later lived on the Solitude Plaza space station for a considerable amount of time, alongside the rest of her team and friends. She was a member of the well known Larimarias Family on Ordovici, one of the many aristocratic families that have made connections with the criminal underworld of the planet.

She was the wife of another Dawn, Samayo Nishikiyama, and the adoptive mother of Nanami Oriana Larimarias Nishikiyama.

## Biography

### Early Life

In 5925 ASA, Lilian Larimarias was born on the planet Ordovici to the aristocratic Larimarias Family. As aristocrats, the Larimarias Family had much influence over the Ordovician Duchy, the centralized government of Ordovici. The family remained outwardly clean and prestigious to the public, but secretly made connections with the criminal underworld of Ordovici in order to sustain their wealth and high profile. These connections were so secret that even some members of the family, like Lilian herself for a time, were unfamiliar with the family's connections to the Ordovician crime syndicates and black market. The Larimarias Family even made connections with off-world forces, like with the Auricsonian Achroite Tourmaline of Tourmaline Industries, a powerful business that operated in the Gold Standard Sector.

Once Lilian slowly began to discover her family's flawed reputation, she decided that she could not burden herself with nobility and bureaucratic problems for the rest of her life. At some point during her young adulthood, Lilian left Ordovici and maintained a healthy distance from her family.

### On Her Own, For Just a Little While

Lilian spent a considerable amount of time on her own while she wandered the galaxy, away from the Ocean Nebula where her homeworld was situated in. She flew around the stars in the *Crescent Tide*, a small Ordovician space cruiser she managed to leave home with. During her travels, she acquired her own personalized bow of light. The bow was crafted by the Prometheans, a cultural group of Aetherians native to the planet Prometheus, known to produce such magical items. She trained herself how to use the bow and became skilled at wielding it.

#### Meeting Spess

One day, the *Crescent Tide* ran out of fuel when Lilian least expected it. She was forced to make an emergency stop at the nearest system: the Adnato Ceras System. The star system was home to two planets, Adnato and Ceras, both colonies of the United Cassiopeian Republic known mainly for their fishing industries. Adnato had a much different atmosphere than the aristocratic air of Lilian's homeworld of Ordovici. The Adnatans were mostly all working people, fishing and farming for a living by the sea, which comprised of 90% of the planet's surface.

It was on Adnato where Lilian met another Ordovician named Spess Artigian, a reddish-orange-skinned man with an imposing stature but with a heart of gold. Spess offered Lilian some spare fuel with no charge, much to Lily's surprise and almost disbelief. Lilian considered Spess to be her first real friend. She never considered anyone she knew on Ordovici as a friend, rather than people who would try to use her family status for their own advantages. Spess didn't seem to want anything to do with her aristocratic background, which made for a refreshing change of pace for Lilian. The two got along nicely, and Lilian even decided to stay on the planet Adnato for a few days.

When it was time for Lilian to continue her personal journey across the galaxy, she offered Spess a spot on the *Crescent Tide*. Spess explained to her that he owed several favors to other Adnatans, which meant that he would have to stay on the planet for a little longer. Lilian offered to pay off these favors on Spess' behalf, but Spess was adamant on granting these favors himself, as he felt that having a friend pay off his favors wouldn't be right for him to do. Lilian understood Spess' decision, leaving the Adnato Ceras System by herself. The two Ordovicians promised to stay in touch with one another, and they never broke that promise.

## Personality and Traits

Lilian was an Ordovician woman with cyan skin and iridescent eyes that shined with countless, brilliant colors. She often left her head tentacles grow out to long lengths, not cutting them often but only styling them.

Lilian was known to be a rather reserved individual, not wanting to attract too much attention to herself—which proved to be difficult given her family background. She disliked getting involved with the issues of her family (which she was sometimes dragged into just by sharing the family name). The perfomative, two-faced nature of the Ordovician aristocracy and nobility made it difficult for Lilian to warm up to others. Thankfully, her time with the Dawns helped her grow into a more open and welcoming person, able to accept that genuinely good people did exist in the galaxy.

Lilian had a creative side to her that she often used to express herself. She enjoyed painting on her free time and often used watercolors as a medium for her artwork. Many respected her eye for composition and art in general.

## Skills and Abilities

As an Ordovician, Lilian possessed the unique ability to naturally cloak herself in invisibility. This proved useful for many stealth-related missions as a member of the Dawns. Growing up on Ordovici, she learned proper, basic self defense maneuvers. She was skilled at using her own specialized bow of light, crafted by the Aetherians of Prometheus. Larimarias taught herself how to wield the bow with expertise during her time alone wandering the galaxy.

As an artist, Lilian was skilled with watercolor painting, which was a hobby that she held onto dearly.

## Trivia
