Lilith is an angel empath, whose purpose is to guide young, developing empaths. She was created by Melanie Martinez for her film, K-12. She is portrayed by Kimesha Campbell.
Background[]
Lilith is first mentioned at the beginning of K-12, when Cry Baby remembers a vivid dream she had, where her teeth were being sucked out of their sockets and the gap between her front two teeth widened.
When the nurses attempt to keep Cry Baby and Angelita restrained and tied down, Lilith appears and frees them. She then attacks the nurses and Bunny Doctors. They beg to come with her when she is about to leave, however, she gently rejects them, explaining that everything is temporary and that they have a purpose for being there. Later, Cry Baby can be seen in a rose field laying down and begging Lilith to take her with her. Lilith begins telling her that her greatest power will be acceptance and everything will soon be better. After Cry Baby and Ben disintegrate the school, Lilith appears with a gate to an unknown location.
Personality[]
Lilith has a caring and supportive personality. Her role as a mentor or leader implies that she has strong emotional comprehension and more exceptional magical skills than most Empaths. Additionally, her desire to help others and make a positive impact suggests that she is compassionate and nurturing. Overall, Lilith's personality appears to be one of kindness, patience, and a willingness to support and guide others.
Powers and abilities[]
Main article: Empath
As a superior entity, Lilith is shown to have magical powers more significant than most Empaths. Below is a list of powers that Lilith has displayed thus far:
- Telekinesis: Like all Empaths, Lilith can influence and manipulate people and objects with the power of her mind. At the end of "Nurse's Office", Lilith raises her arms and makes the nurses and the Bunny Doctors faint, then frees Cry Baby and Angelita.
- Materialization: In all her appearances, Lilith appears coming out of a large portal shaped like a pink doorway. Nothing on the other side of the portal can be seen, as only a bright white light is shown. These doors can be raised randomly from the ground.
Trivia[]
- During the school dance scene in K-12 when Cry Baby is in the bathroom, a ghost's line is mislabeled under Lilith's name in the subtitles.
