Lila "Ember" Morrick

Name: Lila Morrick
Alias: "Ember"

Lila Morrick grew up in Ashen, the daughter of factory workers who toiled under the oppressive weight of Celis’s control. Her fiery hair was as vivid as her personality—a spark of defiance in a world of smog and decay. She watched her parents struggle, enduring back-breaking work while Celis reaped the rewards. When her father died in an industrial accident—one Celis blamed on "human error" to avoid accountability—Lila’s resentment turned into action.

Lila joined The Rebellion as a teenager, quickly rising through its ranks with her fearless determination and ability to inspire others. Though she lacks the magical powers or advanced technology of others, her quick thinking, tactical mind, and unwavering resolve make her indispensable. She’s a skilled infiltrator, specializing in gathering intelligence from Neo-Osiris facilities and sabotaging their operations. Her passion for the fight and loyalty to her friends have made her a beacon of hope in Ashen.

Lila’s life changed when she met Selene Vaelis ("Vow"), who had fled her privileged life in Celis. At first, Lila distrusted Selene, viewing her as a symbol of everything wrong with the world. But Selene’s commitment to exposing the truth won Lila over, and the two formed an unbreakable bond. Lila became Selene’s anchor, grounding her in moments when her anti-hero tendencies threatened to take her too far.

As "Ember," Lila burns bright in The Rebellion, fighting to ignite change in Nivra. She may not have Vow's resources or magic, but her courage and dedication make her a force the Government and Neo-Osiris cannot ignore.
