Lamia

**Lamia** is the main antagonist in *Lilin.* She appears to be a human female, though like Lilin is a Night Creature who targets men as her prey, playing as a mistress to victims already in a relationship or married. While she has denied she's a Sister, she is extremely close to Rio and therefore Lilin considers her an obstacle to her plan.

## Appearances

### Appears in

Episode 5: "Enemy", Episode 6: "Clash", Episode 7: "Lamia", Episode 8: "Yumi", Episode 9: "Shattered", Episode 10: "Change", Episode 11: "Rio"

## Appearance

Lamia, who goes by "Mia" in her human form, is slightly shorter than Lilin, and has long orange hair usually in a braid tied with a yellow ribbon, and golden yellow eyes. She usually wears a sleeveless white top with a green corset, white box-pleat skirt with gold trim, and a grey windbreaker tied around her waist. Most of her other attire leans to the feminine side, such as denim shorts, berets, dresses, and heeled sandals. When she goes for a run on the university's track, she is practically dressed in green track jacket, black biking shorts, and sneakers.

Similar to Lilin's true form, when using her powers Lamia's eyes turn red with blackened sclera, though at this time the rest of her full appearance in this state hasn't been shown.

## Personality

Lamia's outward disposition to most people can be described as extroverted and friendly to some, or saccharine and nosy to others. She plays this to her advantage especially when luring her quarry, acting flirtatious and even planting dirty pranks to drive jealousy into their spouse or significant other. Unlike Lilin, she doesn't choose to do so out of vengeance or to enact a sense of justice for herself. Her general opinion about humans has usually been aloof and flaky, often referred to close confidants like Rio as her "children" who would do her bidding if commanded. Despite that, there are rare moments with Rio where Lamia shows concern and care for her friend.

## Biography

Lamia is a childhood friend of Rio's from high school, and feels he's the only friend who knows of her relationship habits and has accepted her as a person despite it. Upon first meeting Lilin, she eagerly teased him by touching his arm or hugging him openly in order to declare her "territory" around him, even going so far as declaring her feelings to him. Although Rio has turned down her advances, her message about Lilin has remained clear, and remains by his side as he goes through his dark patches when he first severs ties with Lilin for her betrayal.

Lamia's date and place of birth are currently unknown, though Lilin has remarked that Lamia is younger than her. When she met up with Yaz to find more information about her, he recalled that he ran into her in the 80s and was still using her "Mia" nickname, though her former human appearance had brown eyes and short brown hair in a bob cut. He remarked that even at that time she was dangerous, and could only imagine over time that her powers have since become stronger.

However, Lamia has told Lilin that her skills still do not compare to the level of experience that her rival has, and eventually got her to agree to help take down a quick meal (Tai) in exchange for information on how to regain Rio's trust. Upon seeing how their prey triggered Lilin's trauma and her true feelings about Rio, Lamia reconsiders and eventually succeeds in bridging the gap between the two for the sake of their happiness.

## Powers & Abilities

Even less of Lamia's full potential is still unknown compared to Lilin's. Like the other, Lamia can change her appearance at will, and is capable of Corrupting humans. She also has enough strength to dispatch her prey with ease, though she chooses to use butterfly knives for the job.

As her abilities emerge throughout the series' progression, this page will be updated.
