Lilia Vanrouge

Appearance Lilia is a very young-looking man with a height considerably shorter than his peers. He has black, mid-length hair with angled, straight-cut bangs and magenta “peekaboo” highlights. Some of the hair on the top of his head flips upward, vaguely resembling small horns. His eyes are deep red, with vertical-slit pupils and long eyelashes. He has pointed, elf-like ears, as well as small fangs. He usually has a wise, benevolent smile on his face.

Advertisement Dorm Uniform Despite only being vice housewarden, Lilia’s dorm uniform differs greatly from the rest of the Diasomnia students, even more so than the housewarden himself. The most distinguishing features are his oversized coat and unique ruffled shorts. Lilia also wears green eyeshadow while in his dorm uniform. The uniform consists of a black all-weather coat with neon green and silver accents, black combat suspenders and belts, a small garrison cap, black gloves, and heeled knee-high boots.

Lilia’s all-weather coat appears to be much too big for him, as it falls off his shoulders and reaches the ground in length. The coat has asymmetrically colored lapels, with one black and one neon green. Both lapels have silver straps and buttons on them. The underlining of the coat is neon green. Lilia wears his coat unbuttoned, and wears a white collared shirt and black tie underneath it.

Over the shirt and above the waist is a set of black belts with silver buckles. The lowest belt hangs at an angle, and connects to several silver spools of thread on his left hip. Between the belt and spools is a silver ornament, shaped like a spinning wheel. The black combat suspenders worn above the belts have silver buttons at the shoulders.

Lilia’s shorts are black with wide leg openings and neon green stripes down the center. Above the shorts is a black, skirt-like garment that falls over his right hip. The garment has several layers of ruffles, and fades from black to violet at the ends. The lowest layer appears to be made of torn-up sheer fabric. Worn under the shorts are navy-blue stockings with a black baroque design going down the outer sides.

The knee-high boots are black with neon green soles. Lilia’s heels are a bit taller than the average uniform’s. The garrison cap is black with neon green trim, and the sides fold up to resemble curved horns.

Advertisement Personality Lilia is easygoing and friendly with most of the students. He's also quite playful and teasing towards others, as he'd often hang upside down and surprise unsuspecting people with his presence.

Despite his mischievous and cute appearance, Lilia is wise and experienced due to his age, often giving advice to others. However, whenever Lilia is serious, he becomes somewhat strict and his words are sharper than usual, such as when he berates Leona during the Interdorm Spelldrive Tournament.[2]

Background Lilia served the lord of Briar Valley and was a former royal guard who repeatedly threw himself to the flames of the war, and has earned medals for it. He also earned the queen's trust due to his abilities and skills.[3]

Signature Spell As fast as the days pass by, take me there in the blink of an eye. Far Cry Cradle.

Lilia Vanrouge Lilia's signature spell is called "Far Cry Cradle". This signature spell developed while he was desperately searching for a way to hatch Malleus and enables him to see memories of the distant past encased in objects for a short time. [4]

Advertisement Trivia Lilia's given name is the Latin word for lily, a flower associated with beauty, love, adoration, purity and rebirth. Lilies are often used as funeral flowers. His surname "Vanrouge" appears to be a combination of the Dutch term "van" (of) and the French word "rouge" (red). According to Silver, Lilia is a terrible cook. Back when he was a general, Lilia did not care about how food tasted, seeing it solely as a means of survival. In the present, Lilia chooses to ignore recipes and experiments with ingredients, often resulting in questionable meals. He gave Malleus a virtual pet as a gift.[5] He plays video games under the handle Muscle Red, often with Gloomurai. Malleus mentions during history lessons that Lilia's portrait is in the textbook. Lilia has a talent for playing several instruments. He is also seen teaching others how to play multiple instruments.[6] According to Lilia himself, he's good at singing lullabies that can make a crying infant sleep in a fraction of a second.[6] Lilia has sharp eyesight as well as hearing. His bangs were burned before when Malleus breathed fire.[7] Lilia said that he likes the taste of potions that were said to taste rotten by others. He claims that he knew Sam's great great great grandfather. Lilia cuts his own hair. His natural hair color is black and he dyes it usually to pink, but sometimes changes it to other colors.[8] Sometimes, Lilia randomly picks his nose even when he's in public. Lilia likes sweets, but not marshmallows because they are not very filling and feel like eating air. He likes black licorice, but says it has such a strong odor that it's hard to believe it's edible. He once ate a burnt and ruined meal that Silver had tried to make as a child. He identifies medicinal herbs by eating them. Lilia's assignation as a bat fae might stem from the designer of Maleficent, Marc Davis, who stated that Maleficent "was designed like a giant vampire bat to create a feeling of menace." Additionally, when she casts her curse on Princess Aurora, a bat (among other things) can be seen flying forth from her staff during the incantation scene. Lilia states that he has difficulties finding things, which might be a nod to certain bat species who do not use echolocation to find food.
