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). 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. She has light purple scales, magenta-colored eyes, and her hair is colored in a darker shade of purple. 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.

As a hybrid, she has mammalian features such as a fluffy tail and nose. Lilac is a teenage female hybrid water dragon standing at 4'7' (140 cm) after the 3-year time skip. Inspired by the Virgin in a White Dress trope, where white represents emotional maturity, Strife incorporated the color into Lilac's design, citing Mega Man X as an example of this. The task of redesigning Lilac for Freedom Planet 2 was originally given to TheCHAMBA, then later passed to Tyson Tan, who added upon the existing design.Ī key element of Lilac's 2nd redesign would be the removal of her two-toned forehead, which is a prominent feature in Sonic character designs, as Strife believed that it was 'holding her design back from being considered original'. Lilac would be redesigned again for the sequel, but this time in the interest of maturing the character and separating her from her roots as a Sonic fan character. With this in mind, Strife redesigned her as a water dragon. This meant that Lilac could not remain a hedgehog due to her similarities to Sonic. During development, Strife decided to convert it from a fan game to a commercial property. This game would go on to become Freedom Planet.

First Redesignĭuring late 2011, Ziyo was approached by Strife, who requested and was permitted the use of Ziyo's characters for the Sonic fangame she was developing. Lilac was originally created by Ziyo Ling in 2001 as a Sonic the Hedgehog fan character, with her design being a hedgehog. 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.įollowing 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.Īfter the fall of Bakunawa, Lilac is currently searching for the whereabouts of Merga, wanting to ask her more questions on what happened to their kind, and possibly her parents. Along the way, she deals with distrust and deception of every party involved, but eventually unites them all for an all-out attack, resulting in Brevon's defeat. 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. 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.Īfter 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 affected Avalice as a whole. 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.

As a result, she was raised by the Red Scarves, where she underwent training in martial arts and thievery. She is a hybrid water dragon of unknown origins who is believed to be the last of her kind.īefore she hatched from her egg, Lilac was stolen from her parents by Spade. Sash Lilac ( サッシライラック, Sasshu Rairakku ?) is the main protagonist of the Freedom Planet series.
