## Appearances

### Debut

Libitina: Unmasked

Illana "Iya" Libitina or most commonly known as just Libitina, is the main antagonist of the book with the same name. She's the daughter of Tabitha Flynn and her rapist, and people were mistaken Iya as dead after Tabitha gave her away, leading to a misunderstanding.

Libitina is based on a Chrysalis member, Amree Aguinaldo, who also served as the base for Anna Sinclair in After Solstice and Ingrid Yuikawa in the TSS franchise.

## **Background & History**

Tanner was only 2 years old when Illana is born, which is the offspring of Tabitha Flynn and her co-worker, when he raped her. Because of this, Tabitha's family told her to abort the child, but she doesn't have the heart to. Tabitha isolates herself away from her family (including Tanner and her husband) and will go back until after Illana was born. Tabitha gives Illana away to an adoption center shortly after she was born and named her Illana.

The Libitinas adopt the newborn baby and raises her as their own, and as she grows up, she shows signs of psychotic behavior, showing as early as 3 years old. The Libitinas go to Dr. Seol Jaejin, a psychiatrist, to get Illana checked. While Illana undergoes a few tests, The Libitinas give birth to a baby girl. Eventually, the now 7 years old Illana kills Dr. Seol and runs away. Not caring about Illana anymore since they have Niana, they just thought Illana died and staged a funeral for her.

Illana eventually fended for herself until she comes across a lady that will take her home, but the lady is a famous serial killer that goes by the name Mariposa. She teaches Illana all the killing tricks she has to know, but years later, when Illana is 15, Mariposa gets shot by a cop, which is Tabitha's husband and Tanner's father, Chief Flynn, who is a deputy at the time.

Niana meets Illana in the same year and tells her story, and Niana helps Illana with her revenge plot against The Flynns, who are her family. They stumble across a weak Sergio Austria, who was also mistook as dead to his family and cloned him with an android. He agrees to help Illana with everything if it means that he, too, will have his revenge on his family.

## **Physical Appearance**

Illana has platinum blonde hair that reaches her lower back, which she keeps in either a low side ponytail or left untied. Her eyes are colored bluish-green, and she is canonically known to be 5'3" in height.

She's wearing a zipped-up bolero leather jacket on top of a black shirt, and she wears skinny jeans and black boots. Her hair is untied, and Illana wears the lace butterfly mask on her face.

## **Trivias**

* Illana's hair turns white when the police catch Mariposa, and that's because of Marie Antoinette Syndrome, where a person undergoes a stressful event that their hair turns either grey or white.
* Amree Aguinaldo states that Illana isn't schizophrenic or bipolar; she's actually a psycho killer.
	+ Libitina probably got her killing tendencies from her rapist father.
* Libitina has a soft spot for her birth mother, because when Tanner tells her that their mother actually tries to find Illana, her face softens.
* Like After Solstice, it's been hinted that there will be a possible sequel to Libitina: Unmasked, since the book ended with an epilogue where Tanner is now the protagonist along with Taylor (Libitina), and there's a new killer in Waverly Lane.
* Skye hints at some point in the story that he'd date Libitina if only she's not "blood-crazy".
