Lily

Lily is the daughter of Leo Tephi, a notorious criminal and murderer. Although Leo was incapable of giving her genuine human affection, Lily loved him anyway, loyally and true. When her father was arrested and sent to prison, he used a favour to have Lord Ivardia of Gelethe adopt her, hoping that she could destroy the man and seize control of Gelethe for him.

But Lily, who was but a child, did nothing of the kind for a while. It wasn't until the mayor of Gelethe tried to get her to forget and abandon Leo that she decided to listen. Lily psychologically manipulated Rose into falling in love with her father, hoping to use her resemblance to her mother to cause him to commit incest and destroy them both. Icharus Ivardia instead spurned Rose, who took revenge on Lily by indulging in her full capacity for cruelty.

By then, Leo Tephi had become the overseer of Treg's Wharf, and Lily left the court at Gelethe to be with him. She served him loyally, far more than he deserved, before he took her along to Vallont to be a part of the Gathering. With the Lord Ivardia dead and Rose having taken his place as mayor of Gelethe, Leo demanded his daughter have her assassinated, so that he could use her to make a move on taking over the city. However, Lily, who still felt a little affection for Rose, was hesitant, despite her resentment at Rose showing up with a much-curvier body that she assumed was the work of an alchemist (it was the one place Lily had always had an edge on her adoptive sister). Ultimately she settled on hiring someone she knew Rose would be able to survive... and not knowing what it would lead to.
