Lilith Hikawa’s nativity was the byproduct of a failed marriage between an enamoured casino manager and a gold-digging showgirl in Las Vegas, Nevada. Despite her mother’s lust for wealth and common disregard for others, her father was convinced that she’d grow to love him instead of his money over time. Of course, this was rarely the case and it only took a few months for the foundation of their marriage to deteriorate and crumble. Having a child was their last attempt to save the sinking marriage and shortly thereafter, Lilith was born. Her birth brought nothing more than further turmoil and an increasingly potent hatred between her parents. Eventually, they took to their own vices to drown out the unhappiness festering within their souls; her father retreating to work and further submerging himself into the vile nightlife of Vegas while her mother took up drugs and various lovers.

Growing up within the Strip itself, it wasn’t long before Lilith was exposed to all the glitz, glamour and scandal of Las Vegas. Her teen years lacked supervision from both parents, resulting in a substantial amount of freedom that bordered on neglect. Often sneaking into the casino her dad ran, she became infatuated with the city and the nightlife that accompanied it. It wasn’t long before she took to substance abuse and gambling, two expensive addictions that she lacked the funds to support. Borrowing from dangerous individuals till she was buried in debt, it was her father who ultimately bailed her out of death. Her life would be spared if she disappeared from Vegas, leaving her father to pay back what she owed. And so she left, kicking and screaming with nothing more than some luggage and her own vices.

Thus, came her arrival to Hathian.
