Reading all the different myths using the name Lily and Lilith. It begs to be pointed out that she referred to herself as Lily which means pure and innocent, while her adoptive father calls her Lilith which has dark/evil connotations.
Lilith also is a daughter of the night or goddess of night in different myths. The star on her wrist and the whole night thing make me go hmmm….
I pulled this from wiki: Long dark hair, pale skin, a hatred and fear of children and babies, and an obsession with gazing at herself in a mirror. MacDonald’s Lilith also has vampiric qualities: she bites people and sucks their blood for sustenance.
Just interesting.
I do have to say it is more like she is connected with the hat in some form or fashion. It makes me wonder if she was a goddess trapped in the hat and released by accident by SQ. Of course she has her memories wiped and is in the land without magic. Too complicated to actually work, but hey something to think about.
I’d also like to add that I believe (and correct me if I’m wrong) that the Jewish tradition of not cutting a boys hair for the first three years of life is because of Lilith; she apparently kills baby boys in their cribs, so to ward her off the parents must not cut their son’s hair in order to trick her into thinking that he is in fact a girl. I don’t think it’ll be relevant but it is interesting all the same.
"so there’s this new show….."
"there’s lesbians in it"
I think Lily is Meg
