Appearance:
While not exactly tall to a human, at 4'3", Lilith towers over most dwarven women and men. She has a very powerful and muscular yet distinctly feminine build. Most would regard her level of physical attractiveness as somewhere between cute and pretty. In particular, she has a lovely face and lips.
Unlike most of her kind, she is not particularly hairy; Lilith attributes this fact to some light fey influence from her particular brand of druidic arts. Despite the number of battles she has fought, healing magic has allowed her to keep her skin free of scars. Like many dwarven women, she keeps her silky copper red hair braided or tied up. Her eyes are an intense emerald green.
Her style of dress varies. Lilith only wears 'traditional' Red Mantis gear when absolutely required. Her "iconic" armor is crafted from the scales and hide of a silver dragon. Otherwise, she wears whatever she finds comfortable.
Personality:
Lilith has an... interesting personality. She is insightful, analytical, careful, and pragmatic. While generally calm and somewhat reserved, the Menhir Savant is noticeably more charismatic than most dwarves, and she generally gets along with people. Lilith is also patient to an almost eerie degree and equally as persistent when highly motivated.
Lilith is very loyal to Achaekek and the Red Mantises, and she has never given them any reason to doubt her. That said, she does not always act by the book, and when off the clock, she focuses on her own personal desires and projects. Lilith enjoys the thrill of the hunt and tends to see assassinations as akin to hunting. She also deeply enjoys combat. That said, she is quite disciplined; she (usually) only kills in "self-defense" or on a superior's orders.
History:
Lilith does not remember much of her early life; from what little information she has been able to gather, when she was very young, her parents surrendered her to the Red Mantises as payment for some job. She also thinks that it was part of a deal between the Mantises and a dwarven cult of Calistra (of all things).
While she was run through the usual "education" given to young children on Mediogalti, her dwarven nature made her stubborn enough to never become a fanatic. Oddly, this turn of events worked in her favor. The etiquette training she received tempered her innate dwarven gruffness, and her ability to maintain loyalty to the organization and independent thought have left Lilith something of a rising star among the Red Mantises, albeit a slowly rising one; given dwarven aging rates, she has been effectively raised or tutored by two generations of Red Mantises.
Lilith developed her druidic talents through dedicated study. Aware that her dwarven nature and stature left her less charismatic and agile than the rest of the largely human Red Mantis organization, she sought a way to overcome this annoyance. With no innate magic in her blood, Lilith tried to learn it through the studying arcane tomes. However, the higher level material proved difficult to grasp, and she personally found the time duration of most polymorph spells pitiful.
Everything changed when she stumbled up the journal of a former Blood Mistress. In it were detailed descriptions of shapeshifting that lasted for many hours and offered many practical forms. Since Lilith was already in the favor of Achaekek, the divine source of power required for this art was readily available to her. She reviewed the book cover to cover and memorized it. Over the years, Lilith has spent more and more time improving and refining this craft.
Having two human generations to learn from the mistakes of others has been a boon to Lilith. She has seen how Red Mantises totally dependent on the organization's rules and regulations would trip up when put in a position beyond the scope of their training. Meanwhile, she has also witnessed the follies of those on the opposite end who lacked discipline. As such, Lilith has learned how to be quite flexible.
