"*I'll do my best, Mama. I won't disappoint you.*"
— Lila to her mother Louise

**Lila Verrier** (ヴェリエ・ライラ,, **Verie Raira**?), also known under the alias **Age Shifter** (エージシフター,, **Ēji Shifutā**?) and usually nicknamed **Lily** in her adult form or **Adonis** in her younger form, is a spy in the French school Académie d'entraînement from Class-CP. Under the direct orders of a well-known villain, Achlys, she investigates to uncover Enzo Blanc's scheme.

She currently resides in an apartment in Amiens with a nanny assigned to her, but has a room in both the Achlys Underground Base and the Achlys Private Orphanage for when she sleeps there.

## Appearance

Lila is a petite girl of a somewhat scrawny built and with peachy pink skin tone, soft features and round cheeks expected from a child her age. Constantly looking worn down, she is rather blank with only brief, subtle emotions gleaming in her tired, sunken eyes from lack of sleep ; most of the time, it's a spark of curiosity or mischief that glints in her pale green irises. This pretended emotionlessness makes noticeable and suspicious her sudden expressiveness when she plays a role, which is why she distinctively uses only one type of mask in a certain place.

Her reddish brown colored hair, of a rather dark shade, contrasts with the palor of her eyes and skin. It is cut in a short bob with straight, dry hair spiking on her cheeks and outwards, while two locks of hair longer than the others are left falling on her shoulders. A single strand protruds upwards from the center of her head. Short bangs of the same hair color irregularly nearly fall on her thick eyebrowns, generally frowned or upturned in an unconfident attitude.

Due to starvations earlier in her life, Lila's body is slightly behind in terms of height and weight, with very little curves even considering her age as the result of her unhealthy lifestyle. She is shown to have poor hygiene, as she has difficulty to eat neatly and only showers and goes to the bathroom when she feels the urgency to do so.

Outside of school, Lila wears her civilian clothing. The most distinctive piece of it is a baby pink long-sleeved hoodie printed with reddish pink cherry flowers, whose aglets are small white balls of fluff. It was specifically designed to be able to transform into an onesie when overusing her quirk turns her into a baby. On it is a mauve jumpsuit falling to her knees whose pants are opened like a dress. It has a huge pocket, where a smiling daisy is drawn, on its front. With this outfit, she wears pink fluffly snow boots, with a fur-like white tuft at the upper end of it, matching with her dress and hoodie. Occasionally, hair clips appear in her hair to hold it together when arranged in a complicated manner. Flowers are usually involved, would they be natural of artificial. However, considering the shortness of her hair and her shortage of free time, she can rarely take the time to tie it prettily.

When she uses her quirk, her hair lenght changes depending on her age. The older she gets, the longer it is, reaching her lower back at best. She often ties it into a ponytail, a bun or a braid to get it out of her way when she's working, but she appreciates to leave it flowing freely behind her otherwise. She has different attires to match her height, shifting from cute to sexy as she ages. Since she often needs her quirk for missions given by her mother, her clothes have been selected under specific standarts : they're mostly pratical and comfortable for exercise, look plain enough to blend in the background and can play in her favor by either enhancing her natural curves or making her look unharmful and innocent.

## Personality

Lila is an arrogant and manipulative little girl hiding behind a shy and gentle act as the result of an inferiority complex. She often innocently implies how much she's superious to others, with her display of vocabulary far from what one would say at such young age. She mastered the art of faking clumsiness and gullibility, which makes her capable of spying and getting information from others without being suspected. One might call her a "teacher's pet", as the first thing she always does is cry out to an adult when bothered and playing the victim with fake tears. Full of herself, she'll usually brag about how perfect and intelligent she is when no one's looking, then transform into a modest and sweet child in public. She's used to lie almost constantly, which saved her many times.

In class, she devotes great energy and seriousness to her schoolwork until exhaustion, determined to prouve her worth through the quality of her task. She openly appreciates praise and encouragement to the point that she'd do anything for positive acknowledgement. However, despite this gravity of hers, Lila is still a naughty child that likes rather bad pranks and jokes, with a rebellious attitude against orders. In spite of her intelligence, her emotional maturity remains a child's, and so her behavior and beliefs often reflects her biological age.

Strangely, Lila isn't as calm as others could believe. Very anxious, fearful and especially hardworking under pressure, she overthinks actions and behaviors, often leading to misinterpretations and misunderstandings. She thus learned not to show an inch of it in stressful everyday situations, which others might read as an heartless nature. Although she appears to depend on her older peers, she only truly relies on them to provide her food, clothing and shelter and stays on her own. She finds difficult to trust and communicate with others and will not openly seek for attention or comfort despite wanting to. Careful not to show any weakness, she's the one patching herself up when injured due to her fear of being abused when in a weak position. She isn't afraid to cheat and generally takes advantage of her quirk to overstep the limitations of her current age.

Lila despises being used shamelessly, but what she loathes even more is being abandonned. She's intelligent enough to recognize the toxic relationships she's having with most of her surrondings, yet cannot put an end to them since they prevent her isolation and the overwhelming loneliness that would ensue. She's thus willing to abandon any kind of moral or self-respect not to end on her own, even if it means she has to end rotten and miserable with her hands dirtied.

## Quirk and Abilities

### Quirk

**Age Bend** (エージベンド, *Ēji Bendo*): Lila's Quirk allows her to manipulate her perceived age by making her body shrink or grow – with the additional chest and hair growth – to reflect the age she chooses to reach. This transformation allows her to become physically stronger and more intelligent for as long as she is transformed, which can extend as far as 12 hours – although she doesn't often reach this limit. It's unknown how much stronger or how more intelligent her older forms are, but she stated before that she could think at least twice as fast and carry objects as heavy as her toddler self.

Staying transformed for a long length of time requires her to draw on her stamina constantly, which can greatly affect the older she can grow. When she's at the peak of her strength and energy, she can reach a 25 year old appearance, but can only grow up to 17 or 18 on most days. As long as she's transformed, even if she finds her energy running out, Lila's age won't gradually regress to her original one but will stay the same until she transforms back to normal, or overuses her Quirk.

Overuse usually leads her to instantly turn into a baby the second she releases her transformation. Typical signs of overuse are headaches and muscle pain, at which point her body is sending her sign that she needs to release her transformation. If she powers through it regardless, they will grow in intensity until she has no choice but to release the transformation, at which point her stretched muscles will shrink to a smaller form that appears younger the more she went over her limit. At best, she'll regress to a 3 year old toddler and at worst, to a 3 month old infant. It takes her a few hours to a day to recover enough to turn back to normal.

A side effect of her Quirk is the abnormal brain growth it made her go through, that resulted in its current fully developped state, granting her natural intelligence far superior to normal children her age whose brains have only reached 90% of their adult brain mass. Another side effect of it is the fact that in the long term, she could possibly die at early age due to aging problems, since her DNA gets shorter faster that most people through the process of duplicating due to the repeated acceleration of her growth.

One thing worth noting is that her appearance when transformed to an older appearance will not match for sure the way she'll look when she'll truly be this old. Her clothes also don't change of size and she still keeps her current mental age, meaning she can still act immature when looking like an adult. Due to the tyrannical influence of her mother, Lila has a finner control of her quirk than what you'd expect from a six year old, allowing her to transform into a specifically aged body rather than an unprecise age range.

### Abilities

#### Natural Abilities

**Keen Intellect:** Lila's most prominent feature is her intelligence, far above what other children her age possess. On many occasions, she has displayed both exceptional observation and analysis skills as well as adept intuition and resourcefulness, which she often backs up with extensive knowledge of the world around her. She's able to solve complicated puzzles and enigmas, can read and write sentences with difficult words and can get a rough estimation of her peers' personality even before talking to them by watching the way they interact with others, things her mother has personally taught her.

Lila also is a quick learner as a result of her mother's extensive training, which forced her to pick skills up quickly if she didn't want to face her wrath. She has a better spatial awareness than most six year olds, gained out of a need to survive when she was thrown out into the world and supposed to find her way on her own. Both of those allow her to quickly get into an opponent's head and find a countermeasure to their fighting style. But if her head is able to come up with such plans, her body often has a hard time following them.

Many chalk it up to her quirk's side effect, which allowed her to go through spectacular brain growth making the muscle as developped as a twelve year old's, but Lila's intelligence was clear even prior to its manifestation. In fact, Lila could say full, complicated sentences before her body learned to run properly and began to read some words by herself at two and a half years old, making her nothing short of a child prodigy.

**Enhanced Stamina:** Due to the hellish training her mother made her go through that involved her getting hurt multiple times, Lila has developped a rather high stamina and can shrug off injuries that children her age would bawl their eyes out for. Bruises, scraps and small, shallow cuts are usually so out of her mind that she forgets she has them a minute after getting them and she can, to an extent, ignore bigger injuries like depper cuts that don't bleed a lot, or sprained joints. She cannot, however, ignore broken bones and continue acting as if she wasn't hurt, being near tears and unable to focus by this point, but she understands the necessity of being quiet in those moments.

**Trained Muscles:** Lila's leg and arm muscles are well-trained as the result of her mother's training. While she is nowhere near muscular, she can handle lifting up objects weighting up to 10 kilograms, which is almost half her own weight, and can run 9 to 12 kilometers an hour.

#### Other

**Polyglot :** Lila has displayed multiple times her proficiency in multiples languages, including sign.

* **French :** Being her native language, is of course the language she's most efficient in, being able to pull off vocabulary above what's expected of her age and specific terms. In sign language, she's a little behind, but can still carry a normal conversation without trouble.
* **English :** Although having shown some fluency in English, the words can sometimes come out wrong and specific vocabulary is hard to pull. However, having many similarities with French, it is never hard to correct. She still has a long way to go, though, and would not be able to carry out a conversation yet.

## Equipment

**Dictionary :** Measuring around 10x20 cm, it's contained in Lila's huge front pocket. She carries it around so she can show the exact definition and rectify people on their vocabulary.

**Notebook :** Contained with her dictionary, she uses it to note valuable informations that isn't in her dictionary, such as the inner workings of organisations, locations, important people and so on... She never stays with the same one for too long as she fills them fast, then forcefully gives them to her mother that keeps them somewhere in her office.

**Backpack :** A typical elementary school backpack, designed after Japanese backpacks, that contains her school books and important stuff she must carry with her everywhere she goes.

* **Clothes :** Additional clothes Lila can change into when she transforms into an adult or a toddler. They're packed in a special pocket and fit her when she turns 15 to 18 years old. The clothes she wears when she's younger than 15 and older than 7 stay home because she rarely turns any age between these two on a daily basis.

* **Necessary items :** Various items such as a baby bottle, diapers, bibs and such for when she overuses her quirk, or simple stuff such as makeup for her post-scolar activities, would it be to be pretty for arranged dates or to be used as contouring when commiting something worth being chased by the police.
* **Snacks :** Lila always has snacks in her bag that she either bought or stole, since she doesn't eat in the morning.
* **Money :** Earned through hard work or stolen, Lila always has money for various usages. It mostly serves to buy snacks, but sometimes it can be needed to pay back a worthy information that she learned on the spot.
