**The Ghoulfriend**, formerly **Lilith Abernathy**, is the titular antagonist of the book of the same name.

## **Background**

Before the events of *The Ghoulfriend*, **Lilith Abernathy** was an 18-year old student battling PTSD, which she was suffering since she was 11 when her big brother died from his wounds at a hospital. However, being bullied constantly while at school, she had suffered an emotional breakdown and shot herself in the mouth with her great-grandfather's Mauser C96 in the women's bathroom on October 30th. Nobody heard the gunshot during the prom (because of how loud the music was) and her body wasn't discovered until next morning. Before the incident, she texted her parents that she loves them and hung up before shooting herself. After five days of the investigation by the police, her death was ruled out a suicide.

About a month and a half later, she had returned from the afterlife as a ghoul and began to unleash her bloody rage on the bullies responsible for her death. Eventually, she succeeded to kill the bullies on the 30th of December, 2016, the day of the incident now known to some as the Red Snow Incident. She was never caught by the police and pinned the incident on a local lumberjack. After completing her task of killing the bullies who were tormenting her, she retained her former sentience, but then ended up perverted overtime and began to accept her new life as a ghoul; drinking blood, seducing humans, eating the dead, graverobbing, preying on young children, shapeshifting into a hyena and stealing coins. Ghoul can also be described as a female ghost, which is what she had become.

### **The Ghoulfriend**

About a couple of years later, she resides in the dark basement of the now-abandoned Ravenwood High eating rotting corpses and drinking their blood. During her time in the abandoned building, she encounters a street gang and lures them to the women's bathroom before killing them all. When Dan first arrives at the building, who had lost his parents in a house fire, the Ghoulfriend began to stalk him, even to the point where she began to watch over him as he was sleeping in the men's locker room. After Dan wakes up, he meets her in the shower, where she is shown to be fully nude. She attempts to convince him to come to her headquarters in Locker 1134 but he rejects her request, preventing her from killing him on the spot. This, however, didn't stop her from kissing him in the lips. On the way out, Dan mentions his girlfriend to her, confirming that he is in a relationship.

## Quotes

### About Lilith Abernathy

> *"We had a student named Lilith Abernathy here at this school. She was around 18 or so I have heard, she had started her last year in Grade 12. She had good marks on her school work, really communicative with her friends and family. From what I've been told, she seemed... like a completely regular student. But at some point, in the morning of October 31st, she was found dead in the Girls Bathroom by one of our staff members. The police were called to investigate her death for nearly a week and it was ruled a suicide. Many people, teaches and students included, thought that she was about to cause a shooting. Her family came up to have a talk with us and said that she suffered from PTSD. A kind of mental health condition which can occur... when someone witnesses a horrible event that causes flashbacks, nightmares, and... severe anxiety."*
