Mistress of Potions
Nationality:
Koranville
Lineage：
HumanKind / Palmerston
Personality:
Gentle without weakness, compassionate without naivety. Lillian possessed a rare ability to see beyond the masks people wore and recognize the wounds hidden beneath them. Though raised among minor nobility, she held little interest in status or privilege, believing that a person’s worth was measured by their actions rather than their bloodline.
Description:
Born into the noble House Hawthorne of Southern Koranville, Lillian enjoyed a life of comfort and privilege among the aristocracy. Unlike many of her peers, however, she held little interest in courtly politics. Instead, she found herself captivated by the natural world, ancient manuscripts, and the forgotten mysteries of magic.
For generations, House Hawthorne had maintained a delicate balance with the Church. They neither fully submitted to its authority nor openly challenged its influence. As a result, Lillian grew up in a world of contradictions—surrounded by a society that praised faith and order, while her family’s private library concealed forbidden texts and long-forgotten magical knowledge.
Her magical talent did not awaken until the age of seventeen, unusually late by the standards of the era. Determined to understand and master her newfound gift, her parents sought out a tutor for her: a young yet already renowned prodigy of the arcane arts.
That tutor was Weldon Crasis.
At first, theirs was merely a relationship between teacher and student. Lillian admired Weldon’s vast knowledge, while Weldon was surprised by the noble girl’s almost obsessive passion for magic.
Everything changed on a single night.
As Weldon poisoned his mentor Ray under the weight of misunderstanding and fled after being branded a heretic by the Church, a second tragedy unfolded elsewhere. Within the Church, radical factions had already begun another operation.
Under the cover of darkness, agents infiltrated Hawthorne Manor.
One member of the Hawthorne family and two household servants were murdered.
By dawn, every piece of evidence pointed toward the family’s only known practitioner of magic—Lillian herself.
For the first time in her life, she saw the true face of the order she had been raised to trust.
It was then that Weldon arrived at the manor.
Together, they made the decision to flee north.
By that time, Weldon’s name had already become infamous. He was accused of heresy, revolution, and crimes dark enough to eclipse any spell. Yet Lillian found little truth in the monster described by others. Beneath his silence, she discovered profound loneliness; beneath his paranoia, wounds that had never healed.
And in many ways, she realized she was just as alone.
Over the years, teacher and student became companions. Companionship slowly deepened into affection, and affection into love.
For the first time since Ray’s death, Weldon allowed another soul to enter the fortress he had built around his heart.
Together they traveled throughout Northern Koranville, using magic to improve harvests, heal the sick, and rebuild villages devastated by conflict. Many would later remember those years as a brief golden age—an era when the Arcane Arts served not power, but people.
Secret:
Lillian had quietly begun researching a form of immortality—not to escape death, but because she feared Weldon’s self-destructive nature more than her own mortality.
Her unfinished notes later became the foundation of the forbidden ritual Weldon used upon himself.
Even now, centuries later, fresh hawthorn flowers mysteriously appear beside her preserved belongings. No one has ever witnessed who places them there.
