dislikes • crowded spaces, staying up late (morning person), being in the sun for too long, foods that make her lupus flare

weaknesses • heavy weight lifting (does PT to help her joints), having all her meals, social skills with people outside of her work
dreams • discover a new species of bug
fears • Losing control over her Lupus, dying younger than she would like
overall personality • Lilith is an interesting girl. She’s what people call a morning vampire, where she loves being up before sunrise. Lilith hates feeling rushed in the morning, so she needs an hour or so to enjoy her coffee. Plus, with working at the Zoo – that requires some time.

She’s a bit night and day, depending on who she is talking to. Lilith connects more with kids and college kids, as she finds being in an educational setting – she’s the most comfortable. Lilith can easily chat someone’s ear off about different isopods, or how maggots can help determine when someone died.

When working on a case, she’s pretty much silent. Lilith obsesses over every detail, as someone’s death isn’t a joke to her. She kind of locks herself in her office, often leading her to forget things like eating.

Outside of work, Lilith is a bit of a mess socially. She does her best to chat with people but fears she doesn’t have anything to talk about. Most people find her line of work nasty, so Lilith assumes they think she’s nasty as well.

overall history • Lilith was born in Hickstead to a teen couple that could not afford to give her the best life they could. Her parents David and Sandra adopted her when they were finally ready for a child in their thirties.

Growing up, Lilith was riddled with health issues. She was born with a cleft lip, which led to a few facial reconstruction surgeries. Sickness was becoming her personality, leading to Lilith missing a lot of school. Her health didn’t improve until she was an early teen, finally getting diagnosed with Lupus – allowing for a better regimen. Lilith takes her health seriously, as she doesn’t want her diseases to control her life.

Unlike other kids, Lilith continued to dig in the dirt. Following her mother’s food steps – Lilith had become obsessed with learning about the natural world. She was the living and breathing representation of never leaving a rock or log unturned. When kids her age were talking about kissing, she was looking at dead trees to monitor the small ecosystems. Plus, the fact that her father owned the Hickstead zoo – didn’t really help her obsession either.

It didn’t take long for Lilith to figure out her path of life. She got her undergrad degree at Hicksted University and her Ph.D. and master's in Entomology at UC-Davies. During her time in college, her cousin Rowan was placed in kinship with her family as her aunt and uncle became unable to care for him.

Lilith returned to Hickstead after school to help with the zoo. Through some connections, she became a member of the local police forensic team – while helping other stations that need her expertise. Just as another thing to keep herself occupied.
