Character Name
Liliana Marat
I Agree
Yes
Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
Yes
Age
26
Blood Type
A
Personality
Liliana is extremely ephemeral and sly, and her bubbly and upbeat personality is nothing but a veneer that hides a violently mercenary and self-serving woman at her core. Narcissistic and ambitious, she floats from community to community, seeking out the one that will bring her the comfort and power she craves.
Character Motivations
Her main goal is to find a 'home' that will allow her to live in relative luxury, and also allow her upward mobility into assisting in its rule. A politician and socialite has little business surviving an apocalypse, but her intellect, wit, and social ability to latch onto others has seen her through some of the worst. And her experiences in surviving some of the more vicious communities has warped her into something that, while unassuming at first, has the potential to help drive her chosen groups into prosperity or ruin that much more quickly.
Physical Appearance
Despite it all, she is beautiful. While others focused on base survival instinct, Liliana worked tirelessly to maintain her beauty. With golden curls, blue eyes, soft features, and makeup to accentuate it all, she stands out in the unkempt crowd of her fellows. She is the one who sleeps in self-made bamboo curlers, who taught herself to brew pastes and medicines to keep her skin clear, to create inks and paints for her eyelashes and lips, and who will be awake before sunrise to heat water and bathe. Though she is routinely mocked for this adherence, she insists that in these inhumane times, it is important to hold onto what makes us human.

Biography
Liliana Marat was a girl of privilege, the only child of Chicago executive parents who showered her with toys, pets, lessons, vacations, and whatever her young heart desired. With an interest in fashion and design, all plans were for her to attend a wealthy art school and then likely join the cut-throat ranks of the fashion world. She was only a teenager, visiting friends in Miami, when the apocalypse happened. Though she and other families bunkered down in the fences of the upper-crust elite neighborhoods, help never arrived and the government never came back. Fleeing to one of the makeshift survivor communities further up in Florida, steadily losing members of their little survivor group, Lili began to make her way north in the hopes of finding her parents and home.
It took her two years to make the trek, bouncing from camp to camp, community to community, with other northward bound travelers. Most assumed that this spoiled young blond would not make it, but despite many close calls and many cases of outright fleeing for her life or abandoning others to their fates, she made it through. She arrived 'home' only to find that the entire town had been razed in a massive fire, the estate destroyed, and no sign of mother or father. And so with nowhere else to go and realizing that life on her own was no fate for a young woman like her, Lili decided to find others who would take care of her.
She drifted about various groups, and began to develop skills that would keep her alive. Not just the sewing and repair work she learned, but honing her abilities to charm, bewilder, and threaten her way into the social structures of various communities. As she and far too many other women found, some communities expected certain things from their prettier female 'citizens'. Some places even went so far as to not allowing them to leave. Liliana is mostly vague or tells outright lies about her past, but she learned many hard lessons over the years including one that shaped her into what she is: People will always want what you have, so take from them before they take from you.
