Lilac
AKA Lilac Blooming In Perfect Grace
Lilac, full name Lilac Blooming In Perfect Grace, is the great grandmother of
Evelyn Esendria Tarth and ruler of the Isle of Blossoming Joy, one of the Seventeen Families of the Sommerset Isles. She insists that people use her full name rather than just referring to her as Lilac - many people prefer instead to use her by titles such Matriarch. As head of the House of Joy, she controls the hospitality industry, with the exception of recreational drugs.
She is an Anthousai, or Flower Nymph, with ears that are vaguely elven, but are longer and come to more delicate points.
Lilac has ruled the Isle of Blossoming Joy for over 1,300 years, and has never named an heir, as she is perfectly willing to see the family descend into chaos and bloodshed if she dies. This is partially due to her soul being a composite woven from the energy of countless flowers created by her mother, and upon death her soul will dissipate into the surrounding mana, robbing her of any afterlife. The family's annual Advent Festival is a three-day festival celebrating her ascent to become head of the household. Lilac has made it clear that if she ever does name an heir, it will be someone present at the Fesitval.
Lilac Blooming In Perfect Grace has a deserved reputation for hedonism, having borne a child with a different partner every decade for as long as anyone can remember, and constantly having an extensive harem of men and women at her beck and call. She has around a hundred and thirty children, most of them half-mortal.
Despite her public persona of being a shameless, vapid hedonist, she is extremely intelligent, and plots and schemes extensively while using the spy network of the family ruthlessly. She knows the true identity of
Arbiter, and is on reasonable terms with him, though her attempts to seduce him failed, she settled for one of his grandsons instead.
SPOILER HERE:
Show spoiler
Lilac Blooming In Perfect Grace was killed during the Ascension Festival by twin assassins from the House of Vast Horizons. Evelyn called in her favor with the goddess Emadir to not only restore Lilac to life, but also to re-forge her soul so she'd have an afterlife. This means Lilac owes a truly priceless debt to Evelyn, and she is holding the twins ransom to extort as many concessions as possible from the House of Vast Horizons to help cover the debt.
