NEEDLE & KING CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS

Art by the amazing, perfect and wonderful @geniemillies!! 💕

LILITH (RHYSAND'S MOTHER) 18 years old, Illyrian (Dardani Tribe), Rhysand's Mother & Mate to the High Lord of the Night Court

Lilith is the central character of Needle & King. She is a member of the largest Illyrian tribe, the Dardani, known for being the warriors of the High Lord. The world she lives in is one of pure survival, and the only people she can trust are the other unclaimed, unclipped and not yet bleeding girls of Windhaven.

But... once upon a time, Illyrians were different. They were a community, and they cared for one another. Lilith is determined to discover her origins, and how the Dardani became whatever it is today.

She's fiercely protective of the younger girls, especially since she has found a way to delay her bleed, and she doesn't know a life that isn't sheer survival and paranoia.

Her story is a love story, first and foremost (at least for the first half), about the love between mothers, sisters, and women.

Her best friend is Azriel's mother, Asmodea (character sheet to come), but the two of them could not be any more different in terms of personality.

Loves flying more than anything.

Does not trust males.

Her dream is to run away. That's it. Unfortunately, she feels too guilty abandoning other girls who are like her, and who rely on her.

She cut her hair short to try and disguise herself as a young boy;

Alternatively, she feels stupid/silly wearing pretty dresses because she doesn't deserve it, and doesn't feel like she has the body to fill them out. That doesn't mean she doesn't think dresses are beautiful, she admires good tailoring/dressmaking, and sewing gives her purpose.

10/10 holds a grudge, she will not forgive and she will not forget (looking @ u Illyrian tribe leaders who failed her and her sisters).

Secretly got an old Illyrian tattoo from one of the last remaining practitioners, all other ones were killed with the new regime and the style was replaced with the canon smoky-swirls.

For those who don't know...

Needle & King is a prequel about Rhysand's parents. The first part is about Rhysand's mother, Lilith, and her upbringing in Windhaven. The Illyrian culture is loosely based on indigenous Filipino culture, some elements of historic Illyrian culture, as well as some other personal elements.

I've fallen in love with so many of the characters in this fic, so I'll be posting a few more of these character introductions for you guys 👉👈
