With wits alone, this little girl survived, adapted and slowly learned. She learned not just how to survive, but also thrive, and in doing so, she was profoundly, physically changed by it. She became a demon succubus in every sense, body, mind and soul. Decades passed as she learned tremendous combat prowess, she developed powerful defenses and learned terrifying magicks. Always however her true pursuit eluded her, the ability to get back home, to a reality she now could barely remember, one that seemed like heaven in comparison.
She rose to great prominence in her hell, a demoness few now dared challenge, as many had and none survived. With her rise in prominence among the ranks of hell, she had access to new resources, new sources of even greater power, and there finally, she found what she was looking for, her way home. It would however require great sacrifice. A sacrifice no demon of her prominence had ever been willing to make before.
It was however for her, a price she was willing to pay. She gave up most of her power. She traded away almost everything to gain the ability to open the dimensional barriers so as to get back home. At the time, adapted to hell and it's twisted ethics, the fact that her opening would facilitate others from her dimension to do the same, was lost on her.
She was able to keep but a small semblance of her demonic form that she could summon in time of need. Most else would be lost. She did the deed. She brought down the barriers between dimensions and went home.
Time apparently is very different in the hell dimension she had spent decades in, for in her other world, mere weeks had passed. They were weeks of terror for her parents who had thought their daughter lost forever, but their confusion was drowned out by their relief and joy at getting their little girl back. Yes, their little girl. Somehow Lilith had not aged at all in her absence. She was a thirteen year old little girl, despite being for so long, a prime demon of her realm.
Unfortunately her mind had not fared so well, she croaked demon speak and could hardly remember English. She had forgotten her friends and could barely remember the names of her parents. She would have to relearn everything. Regular school was out. She relearned English from her parents and YouTube, but she speaks it with an accent no one can figure out, because it is accented from Enochian, the demonspeak of her hell dimension. She basically homeschooled herself, unschooled really.
Fate was not done with Lilith however. Her parents chanced upon a runaway hiding in an alley, a too young woman, clearly abused, who had run from a slave brothel run by gangsters. They took her in, gave her a refuge, and nursed her back to health. She and Lilith were of the same physical age and quickly became fast friends, Lilith learning every detail of the trial Wendy had been through. Then tragedy struck. Lilith returned home one day from some outing, to find Wendy and her parents gruesomely murdered! They had been found by the slavers and killed 'to make a point'.
That is when Hellbane made her first public appearance in the world. Lilith kept most of her demonic nature when she returned to earth, albeit much reduced, but she has learned that she can drop her seemingly human shell to reveal her true form, her demon self, Hellbane.
It took some time, but Lilith negotiated the streets, conversed with untold prostitutes, and one by one, slowly tracked down the gangsters responsible for the killing of her friend and parents. They met an even more horrifying end at the hands of Hellbane.
Lilith is not sure she got them all. In the course of her searches, her need for vengeance transformed into a vendetta versus all such slavers. She freed a lot of slaves, but many of them had nowhere to return to, and no means with which to support themselves. They turned of their own accord to prostitution as a trade they now knew anyway. However the moment they attempted to ply the streets, they were subject to all manner of predation.
To keep them safe, Lilith took them under her own protection. She became a madam running an escort service which she named, appropriately, 'Succubi'. As she wasn't in it to milk it for all the money she could get, nor did she need to pay for a lot of expensive enforcers, a job she could handle herself, she takes a much smaller cut of the earnings of her women than do any other such agencies. Accordingly all the best escorts in the city, those that could, flocked to her. She treats her ladies very well and is extremely protective of them.
Appearance
Physical Description
As a human, Lilith has long dark hair and a mulatto complexion, disturbingly beautiful, but somber and quiet. There is a very old soul in that young lady. Lilith dresses well, but she is not one for expensive clothing, this largely because if she invokes her Helbane form, any clothes she is wearing will be destroyed.
In her fighting form as Hellbane, she looks like a demon. She actually IS a demon in her fighting form, she'll even take extra damage from holy weapons. Hellbane is terrifyingly beautiful, a succubus, a creature of both nightmare and wet dreams. She has horns, fangs, cats eyes, long pointed ears, clawed nails, a barbed tail, and quite a resplendant pair of batlike wings with a span of over seven meters! Below the knees she has a backbend pair of cloved feet which significantly raises her height. She still has her long dark hair, but the rest of her skin adopts darker, more sinister hue. Helbane does not typically wear clothes, but her skin texture obscures her 'naughty' bits, much like Mystique.
Mentality
Personality
Motivation
She is a kind hearted soul who was subjected to a nightmare for a seeming eternity. Upon finally returning to a world that was not a nightmare, she has a deep loathing for those that would make this world, nightmarish, for villains who abuse people and work to make the world worse. While she will go after slavers with a vengeance, she will not hesitate to act against 'lesser' villains. She is quite rational and perfectly well aware that teaming up with other supers is by far the saner way of fighting evil. So despite her exceedingly dark origin, despite her appearance and the fear it might inspire in some, she most emphatically IS a hero. Whether others wish to team up with her is another story.

Honorary & Occupational Titles
Madam will do.
Wealth & Financial state
Yes, within reason. She does not take too much from her girls. She is however a shrewd business woman.
Family Ties
Sadly, no longer.
Religious Views
She has a hard time believing in an all powerful, benevolent god that would subject people to the horrors she witnesses, let alone what happened to her. That said, she is more than aware that there is good as well as evil, and that it is incumbent upon the good to act to make the world more so. That is where god lives, in such action.
