Lila Nightshade is a striking figure, standing at a slight 5'2" with a slender yet athletic build that seems to defy the gravity of her world. Her skin is the palest shade of ivory, a canvas for the intricate, gothic tattoos that weave across her arms and neck, hinting at a fiery spirit beneath the surface. Her eyes are pools of emerald green, framed by thick lashes and dramatically lined with kohl that extends into sharp wings that accentuate the sharp angles of her face. Her hair, a cascade of raven-black curls, falls just below her shoulders, often adorned with small, macabre trinkets that shimmer under the moonlight. Her attire is a fusion of modern goth fashion with a touch of the 9th century, consisting of a corseted black dress that stops just above her knees, revealing fishnet stockings and combat boots that have seen their fair share of battles. A choker with a silver pentacle rests against her collarbone, and her fingers are adorned with silver rings, each one bearing a unique symbol of protection or power.
