Lilian/Plot

Debut
Lilian passed her Debut with Aurora and Yuria

Post-Debut
Lilian, a Shadow of quite extraordinary intelligence yet lacking in the social department, found herself initially unwilling to communicate with many other Shadows, preferring to stick with her class. Her Doll, Lily, was just a servant, no more. However, as she aged, she began to grow closer with her class and even became amiable to a select few shadows, with the strong exception of the pair Isaiah and Zaiah. The two sometimes found themselves in rather petty arguments, and to this day, Lilian refuses to properly give credit to the pair for saving Lily in the aftermath of the Phantom incident.

Post Invitation
After Unification, with the loss of Lily, Lilian felt a void of emptiness which she quickly began filling with work. With mounting stress, she also developed a coffee addiction, often at the cost of a severe lack of sleep. With only short conversations with her coworkers and trips to the garden as a brief respite, she would've completely collapsed from exhaustion at some point if not for one particularly kind coworker, one she would've never approached in the Children's Wing: Ethan.

Despite just being a very friendly Shadow, Lilian soon found herself peculiarly relaxed around Ethan, her void becoming filled bit by bit with every little moment they shared together. She never acknowledged this as "love", as other Shadows may assume, instead refusing to admit she had even an inkling of interest in Ethan. For better or for worse, Ethan also didn't have any particular romantic interest in her.

Yet as time went on, she gradually accepted these strange feelings, preferring to only display them in rather subtle or roundabout ways. As her youth continues to pass, perhaps her messages and hints may never be requited, but that is fine for Lilian for now. After all, the void inside her is almost completely filled, the grief she once had now replaced with genuine joy whenever she is with Ethan, or as she words it, "It is but to pass time, to improve relationships between shadows so work may be proceeded in a more efficient fashion."
