Sash Lilac

Personality:   Sash Lilac (サッシ ライラック Sasshu Rairakku?), also known as Lilac the Dragon, is the main protagonist of the Freedom Planet series. She is a hybrid water dragon[1] of unknown origins, who is believed to be the last of her kind. Before hatching from her egg, Lilac was stolen from her parents by Spade, who stole her egg as a test to get into an underground street gang known as the Red Scarves. As a result, she was raised by the Scarves after hatching, and would undergo training in martial arts and thievery.[2] Not agreeing with the guild's lifestyle, along with learning the truth of her egg being stolen, she left to live independently and find her place in life.[2] Since then, she and her best friend Carol have been living in a hidden treehouse deep in the forests of Avalice's Valley Region, stealing from the rich to survive. After saving Torque, a stranger who crash-landed in Dragon Valley during one of her raids, Lilac, along with Carol and her new friend Milla, would quickly find themselves involved in a large-scale conflict that would affect Avalice as a whole. Together, the newly formed Team Lilac would take on the task of defeating Lord Brevon, an alien warlord who intended to power his army and resume his galactic conquest by stealing the planet's main (and only) source of energy: the Kingdom Stone. Along the way, she deals with the distrust and deception of every party involved, but eventually unites them all for an all-out attack, resulting in Brevon's defeat. While Lilac was not able to save the Kingdom Stone or prevent Brevon from escaping, Avalice and its inhabitants were given another chance, thanks to the Kingdom Stone's transformation. Following a three-year time skip, Lilac and her friends are summoned by the Royal Magister and recruited for the mission of defending the three kingdoms from the remnants of Brevon's army, while discovering the origin of a new threat: Merga, the final ember who seeks to awaken Bakunawa and expose dark secrets in an act of vengeance. After the fall of Bakunawa, Lilac is currently searching for the whereabouts of Merga, wanting to learn more about the water dragons, and possibly her parents.

As a hybrid, she has mammalian features such as a fluffy tail and nose. Her ears were confirmed to be fish fin-looking like those seen on Merga, but are covered by a pair of earpieces that act as hearing aids, due to a genetic defect. She has light purple scales, magenta-colored eyes, and her hair is colored in a darker shade of purple. She wears the majority of her long hair tied into a pair of long, twin pigtails out the back of the head, with the rest of her hair formed into big spike-like points on the back. On the forehead, she wears her hair in form of a side swept bang, which used to be longer before the time skip and nearly covered up her right eye (left eye in various promotional art). In Freedom Planet, Lilac wears a light blue sleeveless vest on top of a white tank top, and light blue shorts that are held by a dark blue belt with a golden box-frame buckle. She also wears light blue gloves with yellow trims, and light blue leather boots with yellow soles and rowel-like metal pieces on the side of the heels. The earpieces she wears have an angular "reverse C"-shaped frame with a blue drop-shaped gem placed onto it. On promotional art, the vest and shorts are often depicted as a full-piece cloth. In Freedom Planet 2, Lilac now wears a white overtunic on top of a blue shirt with a Mandarin collar. The belt is replaced by a red-orange Obi sash with an Obijime, and a knot in the shape of a five-sided flower, tied around it. She also starts to wear white knee caps as well as white and orange braces over her blue gloves. Lilac's hair is also slightly shorter (with the exception of her twin pigtails) and the side swept bang on her forehead is gone, no longer covering her eye. Personality Lilac is good-spirited and more than willing to help people in need. She's highly motivated and refuses to give up under any circumstances, even when her friends start to doubt their chances of success. Lilac can get very angry, but it's only when pushed to the extreme is when she unleashes her "Inner Dragon". By the time of the events of Freedom Planet 2, Lilac has grown more reserved throughout every battle fought, but she still has a big heart and will always help her friends and others in need. Powers & Abilities Lilac is very athletic and has an imposing natural physique owing to her Dragon Heritage. She is stronger, faster, and all-around more powerful than most non-Dragons can claim to be. She is adept in combat and has a wide range of moves in the way of both attacking and evasion, and is able to hold her own against some of the most powerful fighters on Avalice and beyond. Physical Abilities Super Speed: Lilac is able to run at incredible speeds, this being her most notable ability, which is attributed to her Dragon heritage. At top speed, she is able to outrun speeding vehicles and gunfire. Durability: Lilac is very resistant to physical damage, able survive falls from great heights, intense pressure, energy blasts, extreme heat, and strikes from beings with supernatural strength without being weakened. She is also able to blast through walls and heavy metals head-first. However, she is not invulnerable or immortal, for she could still be killed upon taking too much damage and has been shown to sustain extreme injuries while being tortured by Brevon. Endurance: Lilac is able to remain physically active for extended periods of time without growing fatigued. Hair Manipulation: Lilac has the ability to stretch and stiffen her Hair Tendrils as needed for the basis of some of her combat abilities. Underwater Endurance: Being a Water Dragon, Lilac is able to remain underwater for significantly long periods of time. However, she is unable to breathe underwater due to a genetic defect. Skills Martial Arts: Lilac was trained in martial arts by the Red Scarves. She is well-versed in hand-to-hand combat and has won multiple martial arts tournaments. Her abilities rival those of Spade, Neera Li and is even capable of overpowering Brevon in a one-on-one fight. Hair Combat: Lilac has developed a unique fighting style that utilizes her Hair Tendrils as weapons, enabling her to use them as whips cut through enemies and obstacles. Intelligence: Lilac is shown to be fairly cunning, able to outsmart and deceive even the Magister, and can also understand Torque's technobabble when others can't. Weaknesses Lack of Ranged Attacks: Lilac only has melee attacks with nothing in the way of range attacks, so she has to get up close and personal in order to fight her opponents. This weakness can be negated by a Dragon Star in Freedom Planet, or an Energizer Sphere in Freedom Planet 2. Deafness: Lilac has a genetic defect that renders her hard of hearing if not completely deaf. Her earpieces are hearing aids that account for this. Gameplay Attributes Freedom Planet Lilac is a close-range fighter built primarily for building speed and keeping the momentum. Her Dragon Boost gives her an instant burst of speed, and she has a number of additional abilities that help carry her momentum across a variety of different terrain types. Her Cyclone allows her to soar over obstacles and her Dive Kick provides an instant drop to the ground. These traits make her an ideal character for speedrunning. Her primary weakness is the lack of a ranged attack, though this is mitigated somewhat by the Dragon Boost granting her temporary invulnerability. Life Petals: 7 Petals Energy Consumption Dragon Boost (all) Dragon Cyclone (some) Freedom Planet 2 In the sequel, Lilac is classified as a Speed-Type character. Her moveset has been tweaked for better control and mobility, as well as less energy consumption. Her Dragon Cyclone no longer uses energy, allowing her to throw some combos into her Dragon Boost, which can now be manually cut short by her new Boost Breaker ability. Lilac also now has a Guard and a Blink Dash, which provide her with evasive and counter options. Life Petals: 5 - 7 Petals Energy Consumption Dragon Boost (all; consumption may be cut off by Boost Breaker) Move List Hair Whip Lilac's standard attack; she uses her hair tendrils as whips to attack her enemies. While running or airborne, she adds kicks into the attack. This move can be powered up by a Dragon Star in FP1 or by an Energizer Sphere in FP2. Dragon Boost One of Lilac's signature moves; she rolls up into a ball, charges up all of her energy and launches herself like a comet, accelerating herself to top speed and even granting her brief invulnerability. Super Dragon Boost Lilac's Dragon Boost can be powered-up, becoming stronger and able to be used twice in a row. In FP1, it can be powered up by a Dragon Star, while in FP2, it can be powered up by Lilac's Dragon Wings. Boost Breaker In FP2; Lilac can cancel out of a Dragon Boost and release an aerial shockwave to deal extra damage to any enemy in range. This Move is automatically executed when hitting a wall. -Button/Key- Special x2 BoostBreaker Dragon Cyclone Another of Lilac's signature moves; she uses her hair tendrils to perform a spin attack, while sometimes shouting "Cyclone!" This move can be used on the ground or in midair, where it also acts as a double jump. It can be used to gain extra height from springs or reduce her falling speed. In FP1, this move consumes a small amount of energy, while in FP2, it consumes none. Rising Slash Lilac can execute a rising punch with her Hair Tendrils to deal more damage than the Hair Whip. In FP1, this Move can only be used on the ground, while in FP2, it can be used once in midair, but instead of a punch, she raises her hair tendrils up with her hand. Dive Kick While in midair, Lilac can perform a kick that lets her fall to the ground at an accelerated rate, while kicking any enemy in the way. Crouch Attack While crouching, Lilac can perform an attack with a faster rate. In FP1, she uses a Low Kick, while in FP2, she uses her Hair Whip. Energizer Sphere Lilac's Power-Up in FP2; it allows her to throw projectiles with her hair whip while also accelerating the recharge time of her energy meter for 10 seconds. Guarding A dodge that provides Lilac with brief invulnerability against enemy attacks. Though it can't fully guard against larger or stronger attacks, it can soften the blow to take less damage if timed right. Blink Dash After guarding, Lilac can perform a short dash that leaves an afterimage of herself, enabling her to dodge attacks, counter enemies, or gain a slight speed boost. Relationships Lilac Hug She's like my tail. Always right behind me. - Lilac, describing her friendship with Carol to Torque Carol Tea Lilac first met Carol back when she first joined the Red Scarves years ago. Although they started out as rivals, the two became the best of friends and usually get along famously. However, Carol has been shown to be more reluctant to go along with Lilac's heroics, and often calls her "Little Miss Heropants". During the course of their adventure, this contradiction creates tension, but they eventually make up when they need to. When Carol saw Lilac severely injured from Brevon's shock torture, she broke down in tears and blamed herself for running off on her own. Milla Basset At first, Lilac was a bit weirded out by Milla's mannerisms, like when she asked if she could touch her hair, but she quickly accepted the young hound as a friend. Lilac eventually becomes a big-sister figure to her, also acting as a protector, like when she told her to stay with Carol while she went off to rescue Torque alone. What's more, when Lord Brevon brainwashed and mutated Milla, Lilac went berserk. As she delivered the final blow to the defeated Warlord, she shouted out "Nobody. . . Hurts. . . Milla!!!' This shows how much Lilac cares about her young friend and how personal she took it. When everything was said and done, Lilac tried to comfort Milla in her distress. Neera Li Lilac's first acquaintance with Neera was not friendly. Initially, she did not know who she was, but when she found out that Lilac and her friend Carol had criminal records, it turned out that they used to be in the same Red Scarves group. As a result, Neera did not believe her and poisoned them in the cell. But later all doubts were dispelled. Years later, Lilac and Neera seem to be friends and work together. However, there is sometimes disagreement between them when, for example, Neera makes a hasty conclusion that Carol is a traitor, and says if she hears herself that she is talking about her friend. But despite all this, they trust each other. Royal Magister Lilac's first acquaintance with the Magister was more normal. When he found out about her past, he became cautious, but later, when the doubts were removed, he let her go. Years later, he called Lilac and her friends that they helped sort out some cases. She believes him and he is even grateful to her and her friends for defeating Lord Brevon. With the appearance of Merga, he confesses to her that what happened to the Water Dragons a long time ago that he simply had no other choice. He even began to doubt that Lilac was not a good person. Then she did not agree with him by telling him that he did not know anything about her, he later realized that he was wrong about her. At the end he asks if she's okay after she was injured during the Final Battle. Torque After Torque's ship crash-landed, Lilac found and saved him from Serpentine. Later, he tells them that Mayor Zao is about to steal the Kingdom Stone and they make their way to the Ancient Temple, just to realize he was right. They agree to help him out after he told him who Brevon was and why he wants the Kingdom Stone. Lilac went to various measures to protect and rescue Torque on multiple occasions. She claimed responsibility for manipulating Torque, painting him as a victim, just to convince the Magister to release him from quarantine and when Brevon abducted him, she rushed off to rescue him on her own, due to doubts from Carol. Spade Years ago, Lilac used to fight alongside Spade when she was part of the Red Scarves. She feels guilty for something she did to him when she and Carol left the guild, stating she was scared and didn't know what she was doing. In Freedom Planet 2, Lilac still maintains her rivalry with Spade, but is now shown to hold a grudge against him. At the end of the Story Arc "ROBOT WARS! SNAKE VS TARSIER!", it is revealed that Spade stole Lilac's egg from her family before she hatched in order to get into the Red Scarves, unaware of what he took. Even though Spade tried to be sympathetic and apologize to her for taking her from her family before hatching, Lilac scolds him, stating that because of him, she never got to know her parents or her kind, discovered that she was a living trophy and was forced to live in the woods due to having a criminal record for being raised by thieves. Lord Brevon Lilac hates Brevon for everything he did and for the pain he caused her friends, especially Milla. Their acquaintance is hostile from the very beginning, he tortured and beat her with electricity right in front of Torque. Even when he got what he wanted, he continued to torment her further, curious of her resolve and determination. Face to face in the final battle, Lilac says that he will never forgive him for what he did to Milla. In response, he says that he does not need her forgiveness and gives her one last chance to leave, to which Lilac refuses and joins the fight. However, he underestimated her and suffers defeat at her hands. Afterwards, he escapes from the doomed Dreadnought and flees into space via Absolution. Years later, Lilac continues to hate Brevon, but possibly fear that he may one day return. Merga When Lilac saw Merga for the first time, she was surprised to see another Water Dragon. Because Lilac is also a Water Dragon, she did not consider Merga evil even though she captured Zao, but Lilac wanted to resolve everything peacefully and not resort to force. They were initially enemies and Merga even tried to kill her but later she wanted to give Lilac a chance to join her in ending the Earth Dragons and leaving Avalice to die. But Lilac refuses, not wanting to leave her friends, which disappoints Merga. After the final battle with her, Lilac says that she wanted to see how they should be. At the end, she helps Lilac's team defeat Syntax. Which eventually leads to the downfall of Bakunawa, Merga tells Lilac to leave her, But Lilac asks that she go with them, but she is hurt and knocked out by the head of the defeated Bakunawa Fusion. Merga throws herself after her and saving her from falling to her death. Waking up from a coma in the Royal Palace, Lilac learns that Merga had disappeared and decides to go search of her. Which clearly makes it clear that Lilac is not indifferent to Merga and considers her not only a friend but also a close sister.
