Lilia (リリア Riria?), alternatively Lili (リリ Riri?), is a character that appears in Dear My Living Dead. She is a female necromancer often associated with Cult, and takes great dedication to putting others first and knowing what's right or wrong. Just like her partner Cult, she is under the mentorship of Claid.
Towards the end of the one-shot, after she saves Cult from the Mother, he kills her and makes a contract with her, becoming a Living Dead bound to Cult via the Necromancer's Contract.
Appearance[]
She is a young girl whose seal had been fading, resulting in her having to go back to her family when she could no longer stay. She possesses bright, ruby eyes and pale pink hair styled into curly twin-tails. She also wore a black skirt, along with several ribbons sewed on her collar and waist. On her head was a small cap. She wore ankle-high boots.
Living Dead[]
After having been contracted to Cult, her body morphed into that of a living dead. A wooden thorn protruded through where her left eye used to be, in addition to small flowers and plants growing on her hair. Her right hand and fingers morphed into wood, but were still usable as hand. Her left leg turned into wood as well, and just like her hand, it still functions as leg.
Necromancer[]
She fought Living Dead as a necromancer, but her seal that allows to use her that power started to fade. Necromancers with their seals fading are supposed to go back to their family. Cult realizes this through Lilia telling him 'her seal is fading' and he kills Lilia with his revolver to make a contract. Afterwards he alters Lilia's memory in order to make her believe that she died in a fight.
Personality[]
Lilia has a very positive personality, with her leaping head-first into battle and fighting alongside Cult. However, at the sight of seeing horrific happen when the church punished a family who went against their rules, she adamantly persuades Cult into escaping with her. The church notes her having a rebellious attitude when it came to bringing Cult when attempting her escapades, and she was perceived to be naïve.
She is in love with Cult, and she initially wanted him to run away with her from the Church. Unfortunately for her, Cult chose to remain with the Church and he instead killed her and turned her into his Living Dead Familiar. Despite this however, she very grateful that "Cult revived her" in this she declares at the end of the manga that they will die together forever and also before Cult kills her so that she never leaves him or the church separate them, so they declare to each other.
Abilities[]
Amplification[]
The seal on her hand allows her to summon a dark axe used to fight against the living dead.
Unfortunately, her seal is temporary, and when it starts to fade, her dark axe will start to dissipate as well, putting her in great and mortal danger.
