Background

Lilliat is a violet-eyed descendant of the Sothos Family, the noble line connected to the Fabri Dynasty and the Count of Green Forest. The surviving direct descendants organized themselves as the Green Banyan Council, partly because their hereditary enemies in the Soren Family also share the same purple-eyed bloodline. The Sorens descend from Sean, a branch once expelled by the Count of Green Forest that was later accepted back by the Sothos before betraying them. 136 137

Before joining the Invisible Cult, Lilliat hid behind the name Lilliat Thorne and the identity of White Dove while investigating her ancestors’ legacy and the curse tied to the imitation Green Forest Ring of Power. Aaron identified her lineage, bound her, and forced her to invoke the Spirit of Void. The resulting connection removed both her curse and the hallucinations and mental corruption she had suffered since becoming a Cornerstone. 129 130

Although Vernon Doran warned that secret existences were not governed by human morality, Lilliat chose to trust the Spirit of Void. She viewed her purification as redemption and hoped the connection would allow her to free the Sothos bloodline from its long-standing curse and restore the family’s former glory. 130 131

Appearance

Lilliat is a small-statured, attractive woman whose violet eyes and glasses are her most recognizable features. 129 150 501

• Violet or purple eyes, a trait associated with her noble bloodline. 129 136
• Usually wears glasses, which contribute to a refined, delicate impression. 150 155
• Her appearance was publicly recorded when she became Countess of Green Forest. 501

Personality

Lilliat begins as fearful, inexperienced, and deeply affected by the dangers of the hidden world. During the tomb expedition, she is frequently frightened by its horrors, yet continues onward despite believing that more powerful factions may sacrifice her for her bloodline. 186 188 197

She is strongly motivated by family legacy and by a sincere wish to protect Green Forest City’s ordinary people. She assists an impoverished woman without hesitation, seeks to stop Archbishop Roberts’ attacks on civilians, and accepts increasingly dangerous duties for the Green Banyan Council and Invisible Cult. 156 258 350

Her faith in the Spirit of Void is intense, at times leaving her overly trusting of Aaron’s disguises and manipulations. Over time, however, she becomes a capable and efficient Council member who consolidates the Sothos Family’s strength while preparing for leadership. 189 471 473

Abilities & Skills

Underworld Mediumship

As a Spirit Servant and later Spirit Medium of the Underworld path, Lilliat possesses strong mediumistic aptitude. 137 197

• Can see spirits directly. 137
• Has no inherent physical enhancement at the Spirit Servant stage. 137
• Her inherited path could lead toward the Evil Spirit stage, but Aaron regarded that transformation as dangerous because evil spirits gradually lose their memories and sanity. 137 175

Ritual Purification

Lilliat can invoke the Spirit of Void through ritual prayer to perform purification. 351

• Received the Purification blessing while healing Lai Liang’s madness and contamination. 351
• The same light removed lingering harm from the Truth Balance and previous balanced pollution within her. 351
• Her initial purification by Aaron removed her curse, hallucinations, and mental afflictions. 129 130

Living Dead Physiology

• Possesses the capacity to turn others into speechless “living corpses” if provoked. 501
• Was regarded as a future leading figure of the Green Banyan Council before her elevation. 471 499

Equipment / Weapons / Items

• Protective Doll — A repaired, one-use straw doll that can block one fatal attack and is especially effective against curses. Lilliat selected it over cash and spiritual materials. 150
• Truth Balance — A Non-Human-grade mystical item that gave her combat power beyond her rank, but inflicted severe lingering migraines and demanded extensive secret-history knowledge to alleviate its effects. She later exchanged it for Roberts’s Magic Insect Box. 202 329 313
• Roberts’s Magic Insect Box — A Non-Human-grade item offered to Lilliat in exchange for the Truth Balance. 313
• Exchange Drawer — A magical drawer supplied by Aaron for secure item transfer and communication; it later developed a crack. 258 313

• Two Non-Human relics — An Underworld relic and a Crimson relic bestowed alongside the genuine ring to support her advancement to Living Dead. 499

Relationships

• Aaron Sothoth / Divine Envoy / Mr. Yasuo / Rapier — Her recruiter, mentor, and the figure she believes acts on behalf of the Spirit of Void. Their relationship began with coercion and purification, then developed into operational trust; he ultimately named her future Countess of Green Forest. 129 155 258 499
• Vernon Doran — Her father. Vernon fears the consequences of her association with a secret existence, while Lilliat seeks to protect him and use her power to save their family from its inherited curse. 131 130 343
• Clark Das — A companion during the mausoleum expedition. He protected Lilliat when Chikatilo proposed using her bloodline for a sacrifice. 186 197
• Tias the Living Dead — A Green Banyan Council elder who groomed Lilliat as a potential future chairwoman. 471 499
• Soren Family — A hereditary enemy of the Sothos line, descended from Sean and associated with the destruction of the Fabri Dynasty. 136 137
