Lilim

Lilim is the personified form of the grimoire known as the "Hermes Apocrypha," written by the progenitor of Outer Alchemic, the Grand Paladin Master Hohenheim.

This grimoire absorbed Arata Kasuga’s magic power and transformed into a human-like girl with her own will and emotions.

She affectionately calls Arata “Papa,” Lilith Asami “Mama,” and refers to the demonized Hohenheim—now known as Livic—as “Master.”

Despite being born from a book, she behaves like a young, earnest daughter within this unusual “family.”

In the light novel’s second volume, once the central incident is resolved, Lilim prepares to accept her complete disappearance.

She is willing to vanish as a grimoire-born existence, fully aware that her life depends on magic and circumstance.

However, Lilim does not want to lose the consciousness and individuality she has just discovered.

Moved by this desire to continue existing, Sora and Lieselotte Sherlock intervene on her behalf.

Through the cost of using a high-level magic law, Lieselotte becomes trapped in a world where time has stopped.

Within this frozen realm, Lilim is isolated and preserved, securing the possibility of her eventual revival rather than an immediate end.

As the human-form embodiment of the "Hermes Apocrypha," Lilim possesses the knowledge and functions of a powerful grimoire.

Her magic is closely tied to Outer Alchemic, inherited from its founder, Master Hohenheim.

Even when Livic attempts to steal Lilith Asami’s magic power, causing Lilim emotional pain, she still chooses to assist Lilith as a grimoire.

She supports their battle by acting as a conduit and stabilizer for difficult magic.

When Arata is on the verge of being consumed by the power of pride, Lilim helps pull him back from that corruption.

She also aids Arata in wielding the magic power that Livic once possessed in his era as the Grand Paladin, allowing Arata to tap into that tremendous might.

Lilim’s relationship with Arata Kasuga is that of a doting daughter to a slightly overwhelmed father.

Her calling him “Papa” is not just a joke; she genuinely views him as the source of her existence and her emotional anchor.

She sees Lilith Asami as “Mama,” giving Lilith an unexpected maternal role.

This dynamic softens Lilith’s usual strict demeanor and brings out a more caring side in her.

Lilim’s connection to Livic is complicated.

On one hand, Livic is the original Grand Paladin Master Hohenheim, author of the "Hermes Apocrypha" and thus her creator, which earns him the title “Master” in her eyes.

On the other hand, Livic has become a demonized being whose actions endanger Lilith and others, causing Lilim inner conflict.

Despite that pain, she chooses to stand with Arata and Lilith, using her powers to counteract Livic’s ambitions.

When the Demon Lord Abyss Trinity returns in a temporary form, he shows a ruthless attitude, willing to discard his own grimoires as mere tools.

Lilim fiercely opposes this mindset, refusing to accept being treated as expendable.

Although she is the youngest consciousness among the grimoires, Lilim displays a stronger will than anyone expects.

Her determination and defiance impress Abyss Trinity enough that he chooses to delay a full-scale confrontation.

Because of Lilim’s resolve, Abyss Trinity grants a three-day grace period instead of launching an immediate all-out battle.

This brief reprieve becomes crucial for Arata and the others to prepare for the coming conflict.
