LIKES
- Processed food that comes in individual packets for consumption and last at the bottom of your bag for 3 weeks without getting stale. Perhaps the greatest human advancement outside of modern medicine.
- Waking up early. Humans are just so much more efficient during the day than at night.
- Daily inspirational quotes. She has an app on her phone that has a new one every day. She doesn't really read into them too much, she just thinks they're quaint.
- Goal-oriented people. People with a clear path of their lives in mind. Those that actually achieve their goals are even better.
- People that accept her very obvious bribes without worrying about moral behavior. Just take the money, she's going to do the thing anyway.
DISLIKES
- Most forms of exercise that result in sweating. She would rather die than sweat profusely. She would rather be escorted in a block of ice than feel even the smallest bead of sweat run down her face.
- Sweaty people. Take a shower, you disgusting heathen.
- Anything holistic. She doesn't believe in it, nor does she want to believe in it. It sounds like absolute nonsense to her even if it has legitimately positive effects on people.
- Sleeping. She could get so much more done if she didn't have to sleep.
- The media.
- Unethical doctors, or people that claim to have a false license in practicing medicine. Frauds are the absolute worst and must be dealt with immediately.
- Children.
PERSONALITY
Callous | Ambitious | Selfish | Elitist | Competitive | Efficient
Lilith lives up to her reputation of being a heartless deviant quite easily, embracing it with open arms and a cruel smile. She is a narcissist first and foremost, holding herself in the highest regard and ignoring the rest of the world in favor of helping herself. Her opponents are met with an iron fist and any threatening presence is targeted with no mercy. Her inexperience in life is balanced by ruthless behavior and quick thinking, and the facade she holds is an act of pure indifference in the face of adversity. Her reputation is a mask, one that is used to hide her young age and fragile condition.
It is a mask that Lilith wears to protect herself, and it is a persona that she has bought into over the years. She fully believes herself to be a step above the rest, looking down on those that hold no title or achievements to their name. The struggle of the middle and lower class is pitiful, and they only live to serve those of the highest caliber. She treats those that work under her well but holds little respect for them as human beings. Only those she deems worthy can win her favor, and even then her group of true "friends" is limited. She does not mind the isolation if it means she is on top of everyone else.
While her reputation is dark and her beliefs are short-sighted, her very persona is carefully sculpted. She wears heels to gain a few inches on those she meets and makes sure the resounding tap of her footsteps can be heard wherever she goes. She wears layers to hide the fact she has difficulty putting on weight and long sleeves to hide how easily she bruises. She gives no public reason for owning a cane or wearing gloves, only using them to build her appearance up even further. She is almost always in business attire, though rumor has it she owns one t-shirt and a single pair of jeans that still fit her from her college days.
This rumor is false. She owns two t-shirts, the newest addition being from the Printy County gift shop with the words "I <3 PAPER" printed on the back.

PERSONAL HISTORY
Lilith was not born in Printy County, nor did she spend her childhood anywhere near the region. Instead she grew up on the west coast, unaware of the existence of Phlox, Larkspur, and Acacia until she was 25 years of age.
Lilith was born the eldest in a set of identical twins, her younger counterpart being the late Marilyn Bell. In their childhood the two were inseparable, claiming to be two halves of a whole that could not exist without the other. They shared everything despite their disposable wealth and took great pride in how they mirrored each other. As toddlers they were never alone, always able to rely on the other even as they were cycled through endless nannies, housekeepers, and tutors. Their parents had their hands full maintaining the family empire, more notably referred to as Bell Pharmaceuticals. Relatives long gone had struck gold in the world of modern science, investing at the turn of the century in whatever research they could get their hands on. Their money returned tenfold, and by the second half of the twentieth century Bell Pharmaceuticals had established itself as a notable name in the medical field. Their influence only grew from there, the Bell name soon tacking itself onto several well-established facilities around the country, including Bell Research and Medical Center, Bell-Clarke Clinic, and the National Bell Institute.
Lilith and Marilyn were well aware of the responsibility their future would hold, but as long as they had each other they were fine.
School was a blur from the very first day, and though they got along with their classmates the twins never truly bonded with anyone. For the Bell family, every friendship made was solidified with a long line of political agendas, and Lilith had no interest in befriending anyone that could possibly ruin the life of luxury her parents had built. She was cold to the point of brutality, her sister following suit, and by the time the two of them had finished high school their positions in the line of succession were secured.
It was around the time of their 18th birthday that they both fell deathly ill.
The irony of the situation did not escape the two, nor did they allow it to get the better of them. They shared a room in one of the hospitals their parents funded, joking with each other even as the odds against their lives seemed unreal. For two years they worked as support systems for one another, using their short time between operations to attend college and work towards their intended futures. Large donations to their schools of choice allowed for leeway in their studies, and once again they were reminded of the benefits of money and influence. Many others would not be nearly as lucky as they were, but such was life. They used every resource in their power to better themselves, and in time recovery seemed reachable.
On December 21, 2001, one twin left the hospital and the two halves were split. Lilith never saw her sister again.
As the remaining successor of the Bell family empire, Lilith fell under the tutelage of her uncle. She used his influence to her advantage and indulged in petty nepotism to gain the power she wanted. By 24 she had finished her extended schooling and graduated college, moving immediately into a position in Bell Pharmaceuticals that was far above her level of experience. Her concepts of wealth and power had warped to a point where she could no longer differentiate her business goals from her personal greed. Her time in the hospital had taught her that only pure science would win the battle and invested her time in research and development. Patents thrived while patients suffered, the costs of many drugs rising as Lilith's avarice was indulged.
Her honor was nonexistent, her business practices absolutely frigid, and in three years she'd paid her way to a position on the board. She was by no means the youngest person to ever reach such feats but she showcased her achievements with great pride. Her future was secured and she would live in the lap of absolute influence.
That is.... until the Gru arrived. Just as quickly as she rose to power, Lilith saw her business crumble around her. The introduction of advanced alien medicine rendered her pharmaceutical company useless, and before her money could drain completely she hopped on the next plane to this quaint hovel known as Printy County.
She now resides in a temporary apartment in Larkspur, far too large for a single person to live in yet still not enough to make her feel whole.
EXTRAS
- Due to a constant overlap of meetings, Lilith has developed terrible eating habits. The majority of her meals consist of prepackaged muffins and chocolate croissants from whatever coffeehouse chain is closest to her current location. Her intake of fluids remains consistent no matter her meals; coffee until 10 am, water for the majority of the afternoon, wine after 6 pm.
- She considers any menial task not directly related to her work as a waste of time. Driving, cleaning, cooking, etc. are all completed by paid individuals, going so far as to have her outfits prepared the night before so as to save time on choosing clothes in the morning. She is efficient to a very serious fault, living in a bubble that consists of what she deems to be important.
- Her reputation has never been wonderful, especially since taking the mantle of the family business. Many of her decisions in raising the price of medicine in the wake of suffering patients have left her in a hellish light.
- She has a cat. She can't remember its name so she mostly refers to it as "The Cat," but she assumes she must have adopted it at some point. (No relation to the resident cat man either. It is definitely a female cat, and fixed for that matter.)
- Her privileged upbringing as well as her hired services have left her with little to no life skills. Her cell phone is also her lifeline, notifying her of her schedule for the day with minute-to-minute updates of exactly what she needs to be doing. Without it she's lost.
