Simple question: According to the Pathfinder Companion, Lavender Lil is Chaotic Neutral. According to Shadow in the Sky, she's Neutral Evil. Which is it?

Consider how most people play chaotic neutral, is there really a difference?

Yes. She's not as Chaotic as most people play Chaotic Neutral. And is probably a lot less Evil, too, now that I come to think of it. That might just be my players, though.

That's an unfortunate example of what happens when we put out too many products and don't have enough time to have enough cross-checking going on between products.

There IS a semi-elegant solution though, and that's that Lavender Lil actually changed her alignment. She was neutral evil before, back in the day she was messing with the Vancaskerkins, but now that she's been welcomed into the church of Calistria she's mellowed in some ways (and become wilder in others), and is now chaotic neutral. In fact, that's very close to my original thinking on the subject, and I suspect that I just didn't finish detailing that particular story arc because I'd forgotten to.

That is indeed a very elegant solution! If I ever have occasion to use her, I was planning on using the Chaotic Neutral alignment for her anyway, so I'm glad the two can be reconciled!

That's a intersting fix.
I like it but there still a problem.
In the Pathfinder Companion she's a
Bard 6. In Shadow in the Sky she a rogue 4.
Which one is she.

I suspect her answer would be "Whatever you want me to be!"

Go with the Pathfinder Companion version. It has the official stat block for her.
