**Lillian Manawa**, often called **Lila**,is a protagonist in *Titan's Run*.

Death: wet from having been submerged into water, entranced by her own reflection. Left behind:

## *Titan's Run*

Born of fires. Lila has had 7 former bodies, 3 of which were male.

### *Beyonders*

To the Ecliptus gala, Lila wore a navy, backless, halter-neck gown with a plunging neckline, accessorized with silver jewelry. She tied her wavy hair out of her face and into a bun.

### *Angry Orbit*

Lila begins to rub William Austor and April Yoon the wrong way.

### *5*

Tensions come to a head as Lila actually attempts to incapacitate Austor by wrestling him when his guard is down.

## Character

She isn't a total stickler for the rules. Science goggles annoy the hell out of her. No matter what stands in her way, she is dedicated to her goals at hand; she can handle a lot of stress, but will always admit she wants the help of her friends.

### Relationships

#### Alexander Tok

Lila cares deeply about Tok. They have networked with many of the same people. Despite the fact they come from very separate circumstances, they "click" when communicating.

Can get in arguments over specifics and details. When arguments arise, they have a bad habit of trying to talk over each other instead of listening.

## Themes

### Narcissus

Lila carries within her the spirit of the *gazer*.

From a journal entry:

> *Spirit of the Gazer. Wow. I just renamed you last night - this morning?? lol - and I already feel closer to you. I've always wanted to name a character Lila, but could never settle on the right person. I think you're that person. You must have come from the largest amalgamation of base characters. Who are they all: Lila/Celitha, Aurora, Lila Martine, Azalea Cohen, Gerlinde, Johanna/Joa, Guinevere Heatherfield, AND Hennah Lavidean?*

> *You have the spirits of many strong women within you, lucky for you. I count 5: Aphrodite, Hecate, Artemis, Atalanta, and Hebe. This is crazy. You're, like, the queen of being goddesses. Are you broken, the way you are? Do you forget who you are, who you could be? The people you were in the past, even in your own lifetime? OG Lila Whitacre and Celitha Larrence were mostly the same person - moody, dark, but sweet, resourceful, and scared. She was a normal young woman in an unfortunate circumstance. Aurora and Lila were professionals. Azalea was too young for the treatment she got of life. Gerlinde was a savior, in layman's terms. Johanna and Joa were feminine, flirtatious, and fierce. Guinevere and Vera were brave, young souls. And Hennah was strong, though overshadowed by her brother. Perhaps she has come back to claim vengeance on him.*

> *Left over - thank Jack, Gloria, Matthew, and Carson; repay debts to Jack Devon; reunite with Auster Hughey-Davis; kick the SHIT out of Austor Lavidean. The latter is a bit more important to her, probably. It IS the trauma she has had the least amount of time to process.*

### Reflection

Lila's theme is **reflections**, or the different ways other people *perceive* us and the *different sides of the self*.
