Character Meme - Lilith

[livejournal.com profile] cacao_mocha_soy  tagged me with this and I have to say it was fun. I didn't know I knew this much about Lilith.

Rules:
1. Post 10 facts about your character.
2. Tag 5 other characters.
3. Post their names with the creators' user-names.
4. You can tag back!

I cheated, there is a Fact 10.5. It was needed because otherwise that one thing was just kind of hanging there giving an impression I wasn't comfortable with.


 


I had to include this one as well because it is not only just so her, it is so them. Hanging out in her room with her boys.
She, Ripp and Damon are babbling away while Dirk kind of hangs off to the side.


1) Lilith is terrified of turning into her mother. It hasn’t escaped her notice that she is much more like their mother, while Angela is much more like their father. This has been known to keep her awake at night.

2) Her biggest fear is that one day someone will really need her and she won’t be able to help them.

3) She doesn’t actually hate Angela, she hates being compared to Angela. Even when they were small and their mother still dressed them in matching clothes she hated it. She just wants to be her own person and doesn’t understand why no one else sees that.

4) Yes, she does have a crush on Winston. She will, and does, deny this vehemently.

5) Lilith wishes she knew Rein better and feels guilty that she never makes the effort to do so. This is not helped by Rein always being busy with work, school or Fen.

7) She does have a bitchy side that occasionally comes out. This is a defense mechanism much like her apathy when dealing with authority figures.

8) Her fashion choices are much less about her own personal taste and much more about wearing exactly the opposite of what Angela would. Eventually you will get to see more of the real Lilith in this regard.

9) Lilith’s purse is like her security blanket. She would prefer to never be without it and the times she is she feels anxious and stressed. Except when she is out with her friends at FM or clubbing, her friends are her security then.

10) Lilith’s purse contains: Winston’s cell number, her cell phone, a pack of strawberry kiwi gum, 9 blue band-aids with yellow smiley faces on them, her wallet (which has $280, her ATM card, driver’s license and pictures of her friends), a small note book, a pen, a chocolate flavoured energy bar, the “lucky penny” her grandfather gave her when she was 4 years old, a bottle of green nail polish she has never used and only bought because green is Winston’s favourite colour, 3 black eyeliner pencils, a tube of black lipstick, a tube of pink glitter strawberry flavoured lip gloss, spare socks, a key-chain flashlight, a small packet of individually wrapped moist towelettes, a packet of tissue, travel size cotton swabs,  a hair brush, the movie ticket stub from her first date with Dirk, a small bottle of Tylenol and 2 condoms.

10.5) The condoms are not because she might need them at some point (she hasn't found the right person and sees no reason to sleep with the wrong person), but because her friends might. Yes, they all know she has them.

Tagging  (please do not feel obligated! I know you are busy but I really wanna know!)

Oooh, I'm glad to learn more about Lilith :D

I totally used to have a friend who wasn't sexually active, but carried condoms lest the rest of us need them XD And Lilith's crush on Winston is adorable! Not quite as adorable as keeping the movie ticket stub, though.

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Everyone needs that friend!

The ticket stub surprised me actually. I know she's sentimental as evidenced by the penny, but I wasn't expecting that ticket stub.

I like Lilith. I also like her intuition on purses, the bigger the better!

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

[identity profile] amochan8878.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I love that a lot of the items in her purse are "mom" sort of things. And that pink glitter lip gloss really sticks out to me for some reason XD.
And poor Lilith...I think the majority of us has that fear of turning into our mothers.


Ok, and LOL at Basil (after much deliberation) XD.

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
They are aren't they? It makes sense though, and now is when I shut up. lol.

The lip gloss, is probably the one thing she has related to style/fashion that doesn't relate to #8 or Winston. I worry about turning into my mother, and my mom is awesome, still worries me though. For Lilith, I can see that being so much worse.

You almost got Morgan, but ... :( evil bastard ... I have a thing for the evil bastards.

[identity profile] amochan8878.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Honestly? I'm glad you picked Basil. Morgan's still a bit of a mystery and I have this fear that he's generic. It's not my fault, really. Basil and a few other characters have stronger personalities and they practically SHOUT at me who they are XD.

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 06:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oooh, I should have gone with Morgan. Lilith was my dreaded character for if I ever got tagged with this thing. She has had the least development and when I need her to react in character she just does. This was a very helpful exercise in that regard.

I love your Lilith. I'm so fond of people taking Maxis Sims and making them more realistic, if not with the world around them but with their personalities. You get her (and everyone else, to be honest) to make sense in the world she lives in. It's interesting that she dresses the way she does to be anti-Angela, and fearing becoming her mom... yep that's me too. LOL.

Hah, you tagged Sibyll! This will be actually interesting because I've kept a lot of her a mystery and a lot will continue to be a mystery. But I think I can find 10 facts about her that won't be spoilers. I'll probably post it after this week's update if that's okay. ;)

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! Coming from you I am taking that as a huge compliment since that is one of the things I like most about Simtopi. The motivations make sense. :)

I think it is that mystery that drew me to Sibyll. She intrigues me and there is so much we don't know. I completely understand that it needs to remain a mystery though :D and yes, take your time. I'm just glad you are considering it at all.

[identity profile] cacao-mocha-soy.livejournal.com 2010-07-14 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I actually really the characterization of not wanting to be compared to her sister and not wanting to become her mother to the point where she unknowingly does things to not be them. I guess I can relate to it? xD;; (My brother's been arrested for battery against me and my dad believes in corporal punishment to the point where I was almost put in a temporary home, but I still love them and they're not, like, felons, blah blah blah emo story blah blah blah, and I go, eww... that's my brother's color, or ugh... that's my dad's food, sometimes, and I dunno, I really thought of that when you said that.) I find it really sweet that she always wants to help people to the point where she keeps condoms for her friends, she feels really tight with them, and she keeps mementos.

Sorry for the long comment!

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
She does like to help, but sometimes, you can help too much, and once more I am going to stop talking before I say too much! lol

I adore your take on Lilith.
The contents of a woman's handbag often tell a lot about the owner, and she strikes me as conflicted. I love how you've given such thought to details like that. I must say, I share your Lilith's need to have a handbag. I feel weird if I go out without one.

[identity profile] genlisae.livejournal.com 2010-07-15 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes! Conflicted! Thank you! That is the word I have been looking for to describe her. (I am on an endless quest for words sometimes I think and they are always on the tip of my tongue and so obvious once someone points them out to me!)

I can't say I share her need for a purse/handbag and mine is barely big enough to hold my ID and my phone and I have been known to forget it in the oddest places but I do have similar items. When I did (years ago) carry a large handbag though it had enough space in it to serve as an emergency overnight bag should I need it to.

Hello! I'm slowly making my way through the more recent chapters of Pleasantries, but I had to make a pit stop at this post. I really really like this characterization of Lilith! I especially like that you let us have a glimpse into her mighty purse. You can really tell a lot about a person by what kind of bag they carry and what kind of stuff is in that bag.
