Lilith was born in Salem Massachusetts, she was more strange than most babies as she did not cry when she was born, in fact she was dead for 3 minutes before she just woke up, the other witches in the coven questioned her very existence . In how she was dead but then just woke up instead of crying to tell them she was alive.  Pain never really bothered Lilith as she grew, she wasn't scared of anything or anyone. Her grandmother thought of her as another abomination like her own daughter, she was fearful of what might happen once the girls magic came to be.

As Lilith grew she would whisper incantations under her breath to activate her magic, she wanted so badly to join the coven, but one night her mother came home and the coven was all dead. Lilith was to young to understand what that was at the time-at least that's what her mother thought- but Lilith had a good concept of death, she had already met death when she was born, she would always remember death.

. . .

Lilith was 7 when her magic came to be, she was angry at her mother for not believing she would channel any form of magic soon and the next second a fire had started, it was the first time Lilith was frightened, she didn't mean to start the fire, she just felt angry. Emotions are always connected to magic, Lilith learned to channel all of them, and she grew stronger. However one day her mother spoke of walking the witches road, and she never returned. Which left Lilith alone for a very long time, Lilith stayed in the same cottage for years after, she even once found love, but their family moved away talking her love with them, Salem was becoming to filled with the witchcraft and no amount of praying would save them from the sin. She was just shy away from her 20th birthday when her powers grew so intense that the people of Salem charged her for her witchcraft. Most people would believe that she would be crying and claiming her innocence. But she stood still faced and looked at every single member in the crowed and she started to chant she wanted to curse the people for trying to kill her. And as that rope hung her she felt no pain,in fact after 3 minutes everyone was dead and she stood. She was alive again, just like when she was born.

Lilith had no reason to stick around anymore so after 20 years she moved on. She would soon realize she never aged, it's like she was stuck in time, she never understood it. But who was she supposed to ask she was a witch with no coven. Lilith had no coven, she had no family, she was alone.

But she knew she had a connection with death, a connection not easily broken, death followed the girl everywhere even when she didn't want it to. She soon even learned the truth of what happened to her mother on the road, and Lilith grew hatred, a hatred she had never felt before.

As time went on Lilith learned her spells and became more powerful and every couple of years she would move to some new state and change her name, no one could know about who she truly was.  The witch who never died. She had gained a multitude of names, Lilith, Lillian, Liliyana, Lilia, Layla, Lily, all with different last names. It was more lonely than when her mother left and she killed everyone in the village.

. . .

Centuries went by and know Lily Gray stood in front of a red Hex, she felt magic she hand's felt in over a century and decided to investigate herself, she wanted answers, her life had been boring up till now. So here she stood in front of the Hex, what she didn't expect was the destruction of the Hex and she was right near it.

. . .

The next thing Lilith knew was she was in the hospital with no memory of what happened and she wouldn't learn what happened for a 3 years.

Lilith was walking the halls of the hospital when she saw a boy, it seemed awkward but for some reason Lilith was drawn to him, like if she lost him something bad would happen. So she waited for his parents to leave. Lilith stood before him introducing herself of as Lily Gray, turns out the boy had a sigil and the girl could not hear anything he had to say about his life. But that never stopped Lilith from making a friend.

3 years later Lilith ended up becoming a mentor to the boy especially when he started asking her about witchcraft, she told him she practiced in the arts but was not a master -of course that was a lie considering she was an over a century old witch- but he didn't need to know Lilith's truths, she would never open up to a person like that again.  But for the first time in centuries Lilith didn't feel alone anymore, she had someone even if she never knew the boys name.

But then everything changed when she got an urgent text in the middle of night saying he was going to westveiw to meet one Agatha Harkness, that name made Lilith freeze, especially when he started to talk about the witches road. OF course she lied about not knowing what the witches road was but getting answers from the lone survive of the road, now that was something that made Lilith's anxiety's grow.  After all she hadn't hear that name in a very long time, and even if it had been a long time she didn't know if she could handle seeing her again. But the boy as she called him convinced her to got with him, and know here she was locked away in a closet in Agatha's house.
