**Lilah Springs** was a teenage girl with dissociative identity disorder and hemokinetic abilities. One of her alters, known as **Bloodlust**, became a serial killer. Following her demise at the hands of Captain Davidson, she went to Hell, where the Devil amplified her powers and she was labeled the Goddess of Havoc.

## Biography

### Early Life

Lilah Springs' birth was achieved clinically, through a sperm donor. Her guardians raised her with the Christian faith, although it was heavily forced and bordered on abuse. Hence, she would often sneak out at night and roam the streets to escape her family. In high school, Lilah was told about her biological father, who was a famous actor but also an atheist, which led to arguments with her pious adoptive family. Lilah developed multiple personalities as an even more extreme escape, with one of her alters calling herself "Bloodlust."

In high school, Lilah discovered she had a gifted IQ during her studies of biology and health, and developed a particular interest in blood. The mere sight gave her a boost of dopamine and adrenaline, and the environmental cue would cause Bloodlust to emerge.

#### Meeting Barry

One day in history class during a lecture on religion, Lilah met Barry Wyatt, who challenged typical theology and was a proponent of Satanism. Lilah was moved and thanked him for speaking out against "normal" religion. Their friendship grew closer, and she eventually fell in love with him, although she was reticent to divulge her feelings because she did not want to ruin their great friendship. One night, their classmate Blake's father Devon Davidson stabbed Barry in the leg in his car, and Lilah treated his wounds thanks to her burgeoning nursing skills.

When Barry killed his brother Damon, Lilah comforted him at the funeral. Barry was overwhelmed with anxiety after she kissed him on the cheek, and stayed silent.

#### Losing Barry

Barry later disappeared, along with the rest of his family, and Lilah had no one to rely on for emotional support. Her trust in the confidence of others dissipated when she was nearly sexually assaulted on the street. During their time together, Barry taught Lilah how to defend herself with a knife. However, she eventually dropped out of high school as her multiple personality disorder worsened. She would spend weeks at a time away from home and wake up with her memories blacked out and surrounded by dead bodies. When she returned home, she saw that she had stabbed her adoptive parents to death. Bloodlust, much like Lilah, was highly intelligent and covered up the murders.

### Becoming Bloodlust

At 16, Lilah was placed in a group home without access to a therapist, and her mental state deteriorated even further. When there were reports of missing people in the area, the only people found were dead.

#### Death

Davidson was tasked with the investigation and triangulated the bodies to the group home, catching onto the killer's errors and narrowing down the suspects to Lilah. With no evidence, Davidson prepared to intercept her next attack, but he was too late as Lilah had killed everyone in the group home. Davidson found blood on the wall, spelling out "Barry?" and was ambushed by Lilah, now Bloodlust, who cut off his left hand. In response, Davidson shot and killed the teenage girl and would go on to suffer from PTSD.

#### Hell

When Lilah arrived in Hell, the Devil offered her a chance to become a demigod. She accepted and gained full control of her powers, embracing her Bloodlust identity.
