Not only was this rendered AllForNothing since Belos revealed he had no intention of curing Eda's curse and was going to [[TakenForGranite petrify her instead]], but it is later revealed that Lilith had no idea about more important events happening while she was focused solely on her sister, like the true purpose behind the Day of Unity, or that several Coven Heads had been working against Belos. This is hilariously lampshaded by her when Steve asks her if she was aware of any of this when she was in charge.

Eda's older sister and another powerful witch. Lilith is the head of
"Agony of a Witch" reveals that Lilith was the one who cursed Eda in the first place, having originally thought it would merely weaken her for a short time so she would lose the competition for the last remaining place in the coven. Eda had unbeknownst to Lilith decided to forfeit the contest, and Lilith has been searching for a cure ever since out of guilt.
At the end of season 1, Lilith casts a spell that splits the curse between herself and Eda, cursing herself and greatly weakening her magic in the process. Having defected from the Emperor's Coven, she lives with Eda at the Owl House until she moves back home in "Keeping Up A-fear-ances". She returns in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", having been hired as the assistant curator of a local museum, and goes on an adventure to the past with her niece.
Changed line(s) 46,83 (click to see context) from:
* AffectionateNickname: She is sometimes called "Kiki", but whether or not it's affectionate depends on the person in question. Lilith used the nickname rather dismissively when we first hear it, which subverts the affectionate part. Later on, it's played straight when Belos refers to her as "Kiki" after reassuring her that [[spoiler:there will be no need to hunt Eda and co. down since Belos has the portal door now.]]
* AlienHair: Has what looks like clawed hands emulating hair; an open palm grasping her head for bangs and a clinched fist directly attached to it loosely resembling a bun. Unsurprisingly, they're revealed to be fully functional and can be used to activate spells like any other pair of hands.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Her promotion from "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" means that she gets to live, meaning that her going for it instead of making it to her family reunion means she's banned for life. Then comes "King's Tide" in which she makes one last attempt at impressing Belos to get back into his coven. Belos just tells her to go rot.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss: She couldn't care less about what happens to the coven guards under her command as long they serve to get her greater favor from Emperor Belos. Even when informed that the tunnels they were digging through were unstable, her response for them to dig faster while she stood at a safe distance. She even made poor Steve jump over a crevice just because.
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-ranked member of the Emperor's Coven, she's still ultimately barely a step above a henchman but acts as if she's his right hand agent. This is likely why she has such a vendetta against Hunter the Golden Guard, Belos's ''actual'' right hand man, to the point that she tries to kill him multiple times. In "Clouds on the Horizon", after she's been demoted and [[spoiler:Hunter has defected]], she even brags to his face about how Belos might make her the new Golden Guard after [[spoiler:she turns him in]], and outright asks Belos if he's in need of a new right hand when she [[spoiler:delivers Hunter (actually Luz in disguise) to him]].
** [[spoiler:She becomes a straight example of this trope in "For the Future", in which she poses as Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] and then betrays her in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by The Collector's takeover. She even rants about "starting [her] own empire". Of course, she's still absolutely nothing of a threat compared to the Collector or Belos.]]
* BodyMotifs: Hands. Her bangs resemble a clawed hand and her bun resembles a clenched fist, and she commands a dragon-centipede creature made up of hands and fingers. And of course, her primary motivation is to become Belos' [[StealthPun right hand man]].
* BosssUnfavoriteEmployee: "King's Tide" finally reveals what Belos thinks of her. [[spoiler:After delivering who she thinks is Hunter to him and asking to be his right hand, Belos insults her to her face and tells her to go wither and die. While Belos hates all witches and demons, clearly, he especially never liked her in the first place.]]
* ButtMonkey: Especially in Season 2 nothing seems to go right for her. She's suffering from SanitySlippage, gets defeated on a regular basis by Luz with or without help, and worse, in her most recent appearance, [[spoiler:not only does she get easily tricked by Terra Snapdragon due to being SuperGullible, but that also means that she's banished from her home of Palm Stings ''for life'' due to not attending a family reunion. Not to mention that she later got demoted for her repeated failures, leading the division of the Emperor's Coven that handles the transport of Abomatons. She does get a bone thrown when Odalia reveals the Abomatron, allowing her to overpower and kidnap Luz, but she initially thought that it was [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and was aiming for him specifically. Then in "King's Tide", Belos makes clear that he has no appreciation for her loyalty or work at all and tells her to go die in a hole.]]
* ChekhovsHobby: In "Hunting Palismen", she secretly listens in on Belos' private discussion with Hunter, which leads her to sabotage Hunter's mission. [[spoiler: "King's Tide" shows that listening to Belos' private meetings is a regular occurrence for her, meaning she knows about the Collector and is able to guide King to them.]]
* CorruptBureaucrat: Kikimora is more of a politician within the Emperor's Coven who handles all state affairs, but she feels threatened by the Emperor's favor towards the Golden Guard, [[spoiler:so much so that she attempts to assassinate him.]]
* CreativeSterility: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", Luz lampshades how what she's doing at Hexside is basically just the same as what Belos did; fearmongering to gain power, showing that she doesn't have the brains to bother to come up with an original plan.]]
* CuteIsEvil: Her small stature, high voice, mostly obscured face, and LaughablyEvil tendencies all combine to make Kikimora seem like a cute individual. Her adorable appearance contrasts with her ambitious and ruthless personality. Perhaps best seen in the opening credits of Season 2 where Lilith and the Golden Guard start off looking imposing while Kiki looks shy, only for the next images of them show Lilith and the Golden Guard looking more vulnerable while Kikimora [[NightmareFace looks deranged]].
* DefeatMeansMenialLabor: Possibly. [[spoiler:At the end of "Watching And Dreaming", she's seen helping with the construction of a new museum wing of the library with Matt and Lilith, though it's unknown if she's doing it as punishment or out of a change of heart.]]
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", no matter how much Matt's suggestions make sense, she just shoots them down, being more interested in her own power-base than forming a functioning community.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Attention isn't drawn to it but she seems to have a surprising amount of willpower as when the draining spell is activated, most of the other demons and witches are left completely incapacitated, including the coven heads, yet she's still able to move and talk enough to help King by leading him to the Collector's mirror so she can stick it to Belos]].
* DirtyCoward: When [[spoiler:Luz threatens her with a fire spell, she ''immediately'', without a second of hesitation, frees Eda, King, and Lilith.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Her loyalty to the Emperor finally expends itself when Belos tells him, upfront, that the best she could ever do to win his favor is to "find a hole to wither away in." After that, she helps King stop him, out of nothing more than an urge to see him paid back for his treachery.]]
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:In "For The Future", she takes the role of Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] in the ruins of Hexside, but her position as chief advisor essentially makes her the one in charge as she manipulates Boscha into consolidating power and vetoing efforts to reform their living conditions. It's made abundantly clear that Boscha is just a pawn, and Kikimora inevitably plans to double-cross her to start her own empire]].
* DragonRider: Thanks to her pet, [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After being cast aside by Belos despite everything she's done to earn his favor, Kikimora decides to help King release the Collector from his prison so he can stop the Draining Spell, all so she can get revenge on Belos.]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Kikimora is seen calling her mother during "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and it's clear she wants to please her, to the point of bawling her eyes out over her mother threatening her with banishment from her home of Palm Stings if Kikimora choose work over attending a family reunion. Luz is moved enough to see the similarities with her own mom. [[spoiler:Ultimately zigzagged as when given the choice between the family reunion and getting a promotion, she chooses the promotion and says, "Palm Stings can burn for all I care!"]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", she is crestfallen that she has to skip out on a family reunion to attend the parade and is brought to tears when she tells Luz her mother's threatened her with banishment if she doesn't come home. Downplayed by the end, as she deems her career to be be more important than her family, choosing not to go to the reunion when she hears she's getting a promotion. But, considering her reward from that was being allowed to live, she wonders if it was worth getting banished from her family.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", she takes particular pleasure in both mocking and attacking Luz, despite Luz barely doing anything to her at all.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Kikimora has always been walked all over by others. She finally proves everyone wrong about that in Season 3.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Even in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" she laments that she's been reduced from the Emperor's personal attendant to a "glorified party planner." As of "Clouds on the Horizon" [[spoiler:her constant failures have her demoted to a delivery driver for the Emperor's Coven.]] As of the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming" [[spoiler:her current job is now in construction and is seen working on the additions to the library.]]
* FamilyVersusCareer: Her conflict in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" is that her mother wants her at a reunion, but the Emperor's Coven wants her in the parade and she can't get out of it. [[spoiler:Despite Luz going through with a plan to fake her kidnapping so she'll be able to do both, she decides firmly on "career" when she hears Terra talking about a "promotion" for her, even attacking Luz. And of course, her "promotion" is just that she ''gets to live''.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Though her mouth is usually hidden, when she blows on a whistle to summon [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon]] it's revealed she sports boar-like tusks, though they come across more like CuteLittleFangs.
* FatalFlaw: [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] combined with {{ambition|is evil}}. She's super jealous of the Golden Guard and will do anything to become the Emperor's right hand woman. [[spoiler:She also jumps at the chance for a political promotion despite it being an obvious ruse showing how see-through her ambition is, which ends up costing her family's love. By the epilogue, Kikimora ends up as a lowly employee being bossed around by Matt Tholomule.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can speak in a calm and grandmotherly fashion, but it's usually laced with condescension, at best.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is starkly envious of the Golden Guard's closeness to the Emperor and she [[spoiler:arranges for him to be killed.]] Also seemed to be the case with Lilith as well.
* HateSink: Cowardly? Check. Sleazy? Check. Arrogant? Check. Self-righteous? Check. Petty? Check. [[spoiler:A backstabber who's perfectly willing to kill a child whether they're on her side or not? Check. Being aware of what the Day of Unity will actually entail and not caring one bit about others for her own gain out of a deluded belief that Belos would spare her?]] Check. From all of the aforementioned negative traits Kikimora has, it is safe to say we're not supposed to enjoy her screen time. After other villains get more positive traits or outright defect in Season 2 she comes to share this role with Odalia, [[spoiler:who not only willingly allows the Emperor's genocide to happen but thinks her family's social status will be elevated in exchange for her loyalty. Kikimora on the other hand is fairly humbler in her desires and thinking by comparison. She seems open to the possibility she will die in the process, so she'll at least take the satisfaction knowing she'll stick it to Hunter before the Day of Unity happens, and she thinks she'll be rewarded and enjoy it before she dies. On top of that, she’s at least willing to admit when she’s wrong, and accepted her punishment with dignity]].
* HeightAngst: It's implied her short stature may be a sore-spot for her given that she rides on Abomaton 2.0s to be literally above her underlings and her first reaction to [[spoiler:piloting the Abomatron]] is joy that "[she's] taller than everyone!"
* HighCollarOfDoom: A rare instance where the collar actually obscures most of her face, making her mouth rarely visible.
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Kikimora spent all of Season 2 trying to win the Emperor's favor, and kill Hunter. Between being disowned by her own family, and being told to go find a hole to wither in after failing ''again'', she's completely broken from all of it, but it has granted her enough perspective and is forced to accept Belos isn't the man she thought he was, and she's quite somber when spilling her secrets. For the first time, she’s willing to admit she’s wrong. After coming to terms with this, she gives King, the last Titan, the opportunity to release the Collector in order to give Belos the middle finger on his plans if he so chooses, her own life be damned since she's about to die anyways. Tellingly by the end of Season 3, Kikimora ends up accepting her punishment to serve in the library without protest]].
* AlienHair: Has what looks like clawed hands emulating hair; an open palm grasping her head for bangs and a clinched fist directly attached to it loosely resembling a bun. Unsurprisingly, they're revealed to be fully functional and can be used to activate spells like any other pair of hands.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Her promotion from "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" means that she gets to live, meaning that her going for it instead of making it to her family reunion means she's banned for life. Then comes "King's Tide" in which she makes one last attempt at impressing Belos to get back into his coven. Belos just tells her to go rot.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss: She couldn't care less about what happens to the coven guards under her command as long they serve to get her greater favor from Emperor Belos. Even when informed that the tunnels they were digging through were unstable, her response for them to dig faster while she stood at a safe distance. She even made poor Steve jump over a crevice just because.
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-ranked member of the Emperor's Coven, she's still ultimately barely a step above a henchman but acts as if she's his right hand agent. This is likely why she has such a vendetta against Hunter the Golden Guard, Belos's ''actual'' right hand man, to the point that she tries to kill him multiple times. In "Clouds on the Horizon", after she's been demoted and [[spoiler:Hunter has defected]], she even brags to his face about how Belos might make her the new Golden Guard after [[spoiler:she turns him in]], and outright asks Belos if he's in need of a new right hand when she [[spoiler:delivers Hunter (actually Luz in disguise) to him]].
** [[spoiler:She becomes a straight example of this trope in "For the Future", in which she poses as Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] and then betrays her in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by The Collector's takeover. She even rants about "starting [her] own empire". Of course, she's still absolutely nothing of a threat compared to the Collector or Belos.]]
* BodyMotifs: Hands. Her bangs resemble a clawed hand and her bun resembles a clenched fist, and she commands a dragon-centipede creature made up of hands and fingers. And of course, her primary motivation is to become Belos' [[StealthPun right hand man]].
* BosssUnfavoriteEmployee: "King's Tide" finally reveals what Belos thinks of her. [[spoiler:After delivering who she thinks is Hunter to him and asking to be his right hand, Belos insults her to her face and tells her to go wither and die. While Belos hates all witches and demons, clearly, he especially never liked her in the first place.]]

to:
* AffectionateNickname: She is sometimes called "Kiki", AcademicAthlete: During her years at Hexside. Not only was she a dedicated student, but whether or not she was also captain of the school's Grudgby team.
* AdoptedToTheHouse: Since Lilith is a traitor and an accessory to aiding and abetting enemies of state, she has no place to live, so Eda lets her crash at the Owl House, and she acts like the weird aunt trying to figure out her life. Later on, she leaves with her mother and moves back into her childhood home.
* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed. Despite being advertised as a major character in Season 2 and getting a PromotionToOpeningTitles, Lilith stays in the Owl House for the first four episodes before deciding to leave with her mother. However, she still returns for episodic appearances with relative frequency.
* AffectionateNickname:
** Played with a bit because anytime Eda calls her "Lily", it'saffectionate depends on the person in question. Lilith used either to belittle her or trick her; it does seem to be the nickname rather dismissively Eda called her as a child, though. PlayedStraight in Season 2 where Eda almost exclusively refers to Lilith by Lily.
** Hooty starts calling her "Lulu" whenwe first hear it, which subverts she moves into the affectionate part. Later on, Owl House, and she calls him "Hootsifer" in return.
* AllForNothing:
** Nearly all her years of loyal service to the throne is driven by the belief that if she can get Eda to join the Emperor's Coven (either willingly or by force), Emperor Belos will pardon all of Eda's crimes and lift Eda's curse. When she finally brings Eda in after forcing her to fully succumb to her curse, Belos reveals that he never intended to cure Eda.
** This even shows up in Lilith's backstory. A teenage Lilith cursed Eda to strip away her powers so that Lilith could beat Eda in a duel and gain a place in the Emperor's Coven, only for Eda to immediately forfeit. Worse still, she used the curse on Eda under the impression that it would only last for a day, only to realize after the fact that it was permanent and the effects would only get worse with time. This means that Lilith cursed her sister and ruined her life ''for no reason''.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Lilith's cursed Raven Beast form is ''much'' bigger than Eda's Owl Beast form and is considerably more dangerous.
* AlwaysSecondBest:
** She's a weaker magic user than Eda, at least in part due to her sister being a JackOfAllTrades CombatPragmatist. Notably, she's only able to keep up with Eda after she has a VillainousBreakdown and starts fighting dirty too, and even then she is only capable of stalling long enough for Eda's curse to kick in. Eda even lampshades this, saying that Lilith still can't beat Eda, even when Eda is at her worst.
** It's revealed in "Agony of a Witch" that she cursed Eda when they were teens. "Young Blood, Old Souls" goes into more detail regarding the reason: Lilith wanted to join the Emperor's Coven, but she and Eda were pitted against each other in a witch's duel to win the one open slot in the Coven. Lilith knew Eda was superior to her, so she cursed her to weaken her enough to beat her.
** She apparently did outperform Eda in sports as children however, winning a significantly larger grudgby trophy being one of the few accomplishments she smugly holds over Eda's head, and though Eda managed to beat her fair and square in their rematch as adults the competition was close enough that it could have gone either way.
** Somewhat {{Averted}} in "Escaping Expulsion", Lilith proves to actually be much better at glyph magic than Eda, this is mainly because glyphs are a much more academic approach to wielding magic compared to spell circles. Eda was always stronger than Lilith, but Lilith was the more studious of the two, so in a magic style that is entirely built on [[LanguageOfMagic academic understanding of runes]] Lilith comes out on top.
** Completely averted in "For the Future", where it'splayed shown that she's the superior potion brewer of the two due to being able to recreate the elixir from scratch, something that Eda had never been able to do in the 30 years she's lived with the curse despite having also studied the subject at Hexside and knowing the ingredients list.
* AmbiguousSituation: With the reveal that the Owl Beast is actually a separate entity inhabiting Eda due to the curse, it's currently unclear what this means for Lilith and her Raven Beast form. Whether the Raven Beast is part of the Owl Beast, a separate creature, or something else entirely remains to be seen.
* AmbitionIsEvil: The reason she cursed Eda, turning her into an outcast and sentencing her to a FateWorseThanDeath? So she could guarantee her spot at the Emperor's Coven. Granted, she didn't know the curse would be permanent, but cursing her own sister while she was asleep is still a rotten thing to do.
* AnimalMotifs: In contrast to Eda and owls, Lilith's theme is ravens, as seen with her spells and her staff.
* AnArmAndALeg: Taking on Eda's curse also affected Lilith with Eda's demonstrated ability to detach her limbs, as she discovers when her left hand falls off and Eda literally screws it back into position, advising she'll get used to it.
* AndIMustScream: After being restored to normal following her first transformation into her Raven Beast form, Lilith says she was aware of what was going on, but couldn't stop herself from trying to attack her family.
* AntiVillain: Lilith holds a lot of power in an ominously-dictatorial magic society, doesn't mind cheating just to upstage her sister, and isn't above responding to simple mockery with violence. On the other hand, she's generally a kind teacher to her students, desires a friendly relationship with her younger sister despite her jealousy, and truly believes that she's doing good by working for the Emperor.
* TheArchmage: Lilith approaches her sister in magical power and knowledge, and being part of the Emperor's Coven leaves her abilities likewise unrestricted. She fits the archetype much closer in social standing, being in a position of authority overseeing magical education and [[CourtMage working directly for the Emperor]]. She also turns out to be a natural at rune magic and manages to devise formulae for several spells on her own.
* ArcVillainess: She's the primary recurring antagonist in season 1, heading the effort to capture Eda. It's not until the season finale that Belos takes center stage.
* TheAtoner: She deeply regrets cursing Eda, and the main reason she was so adamant in capturing her was that she truly believed that Emperor Belos would cure her. At the end of the first season, she even transfers half of the effects of Eda’s curse to her, severely weakening her own powers and giving herself the curse but allowing Eda to regain her humanoid form. That being said, she decides to leave with her mother to research the curse to come up with a cure on her own.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: "Sense and Insensitivity" shows that despite being on opposite sides of the law the sisters do still care about each other. When Lilith is in danger, Eda saves her because she is TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou, and later Lilith expresses her wish for Eda to join the Emperor's Coven willingly rather than Lilith having to capture her. Even though Lilith put Luz in danger and revealed she cursed Eda, she was more than willing to betray Belos and share Eda's curse to start making amends.
* BeneathTheMask: Lilith tries her hardest to portray herself as a composed and mature witch, but often reveals herself to be a petty, childish, and bad-tempered woman. At the climax of "Agony of a Witch", the mask slips completely with her revealing to have cursed Eda when they were kids to gain a coveted spot in the Emperor's Coven, something that she [[MyGreatestFailure regrets to this day]], but never told Eda about.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: As a teen, all Lilith wanted was to join the Emperor's Coven. She did so, but only after cursing Eda and unintentionally ruining her life, which turned out to be pointless in the first place since Eda was willing to stand aside and let Lilith have the one available spot in the Coven.
* BlueIsHeroic: Subverted in that despite being rather amiable, she still supported Belos' reign while wearing a primarily blue outfit. Played straightwhen Belos refers to her as "Kiki" later on after reassuring her that [[spoiler:there will be no need HeelFaceTurn and defection from the Emperor's Coven.
* BoringButPractical: Lilith is able tohunt master the use of glyphs faster than Eda simply because she took the time and co. down since Belos has effort to actually study the portal door now.]]
* AlienHair: Hasbasics, gaining a better understanding of how they work and interact with each other, while the impatient Eda jumped straight to mashing up different glyphs without any idea of what looks like clawed hands emulating hair; an open palm grasping her she was doing to disastrous results.
* BreakTheHaughty: She's arrogant, and prone to misfortunes.
* BringMyBrownPants: As a child, she was so excited to see the Emperor's Coven, she "peed a little", as Eda told Lilith's students to embarrass her.
* BrokenAce: She's the famous headfor bangs of the Emperor's Coven and a clinched fist directly attached one of the most powerful witches on the Boiling Isles....but it doesn't take much to it loosely resembling break her composure, revealing a bun. Unsurprisingly, very flawed, troubled woman with a lot of issues stemming from both her deep-seated jealousy of her much more talented outlaw sister (whom she's more alike than she'd care to admit) and her immense guilt over cursing said sister when the two of them were teens.
* ByTheHair: She suffers from this in "Covention", when Eda has Owlbert pull at her hair to distract her, and again in "Young Blood, Old Souls", when Luz attacks her.
* ButtMonkey: For all of her confidence and pride as the emperor's right hand, she's very prone to humilitiating slapstick, whether it's Eda pulling pranks on her or being tossed around by Hooty. After being stripped of her magic and forced to live on the run, her misfortune becomes even worse.
* CainAndAbel: Her relationship with Eda is antagonistic and they're on opposite sides of the law. However, Lilith still has plenty of sympathy for her sister--[[UnscrupulousHero which Eda is all too quick to exploit]]. However she's shown to be more of a Cain upon revealing that she cursed her own sister.
* CelibateHeroine: Her VoiceoverLetter in the March 2022 charity stream has her admit to Hooty that while she's happy to hear about Luz and Amity's RelationshipUpgrade, she's never personally had any interest in pursuing romance herself. It's implied at the time (and later confirmed by her voice actress) that she's an aromantic asexual.
* CharacterDevelopment: After leaving the Emperor's Coven at the end of season one, Lilith slowly drops the strict, uptight persona she had as a Coven leader and begins to express a more happy, dorky side of herself as she moves past her insecurities and guilt over her past actions, forming new friendships with Hooty and Luz in the process. She also senses that Philip is flattering Luz to get what he wants because it's what Belos did for Lilith to capture Eda, and prepares appropriately for a betrayal though as Luz points out, most of the Boiling Isles is murderous and "weird".
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: At Hexside, she wore the yellow uniform of a potions student.
* CombatPragmatist: Deconstructed. While she claims that she "works smarter" to beat Eda, in actuality she just plays dirty, plain and simple. From cheating at a witch duel on Amity's behalf to using Luz as a literal HumanShield to get an advantage at her rematch to Eda to resorting to curse her own sister while she was ''asleep'' so she could beat her for sure.
* CommutingOnABus: After the first four episodes of season 2, Lilith leaves the Owl House to reconnect with her mother and find a job, but returns periodically to help out the heroes.
* CoolAunt: Of the surrogate variety, but by "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" Luz has come to view her as one, openly referring to her as "cool Aunt Lilith".
* CopCriminalFamily: Lilith is a major figure in the Boiling Isles' coven system, the very thing Eda rebels against, and is eventually tasked with bringing Eda in to the Emperor.
* CostumeEvolution: After her initial appearance in regal black, she regularily makes changes to her appearance reflecting her current state of mind;
** In her appearances in season 2a, she wears an old, patched skirt and a shirt with a low battery print, reflecting her loss of status and depression after leaving the Emperor's Coven.
** In her appearances in season 2b, she wears a neater and more colorful outfit consisting of a dark violet red skirt, green top, and brown vest, and she has started wearing her glasses again. Her hair has also started puffing out at the bottom. The outift is overall neater than her earlier outfit, but nowhere near the strict perfectionism of her original outfit, reflecting her getting her life in order while also embracing her dorkier, less dignified side.
** In season 3, she has switched to a more practical garb, lost her glasses, and her hair is cut short and back to its original color, reflecting that with the Collector having taken over the Boiling Isles, practicality is the priority above comfort and dignity.
* CourtMage: Is the leader of the Coven that answers directly to the Emperor of the Boiling Isles. Downplayed since the Emperor resides over a MageSpecies, and therefore ''every'' member in his court is a mage.
* DarkActionGirl: Is a very powerful witch and fighter who whose job is to enforce Belos' rule over the isles and acts as an [[ArcVillainess antagonist towards Eda throughout Season 1]].
* DarkSecret: For decades, she hid that ''she'' was the one responsible for cursing Eda due to the shame she felt for ruining her sister's life.
* DarkIsEvil: Is an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette who dresses in all black who works for EvilOverlord Emperor Belos and spends most of Season 1 trying to aprehend Eda so she could join the Emperor's Coven and is revealed to be responsible for giving Eda her curse as a kid. It's subverted in "Young Blood, Old Souls", where owns up to her mistakes and shares the curse with Eda, saving her.
* DealWithTheDevil: After cursing Eda, Lilith devoted herself to serving the Emperor, eventually becoming the leader of his personal coven. Lilith made a deal with the Emperor: in exchange for her loyalty and getting Eda to join the Emperor's Coven, Belos would pardon Eda's crimes and heal her of her curse. Unfortunately, Emperor Belos lied.
* DefectorFromDecadence: She betrays Belos after he reveals that he lied about his promise to her to cure Eda.
* DePower: After taking on half of Eda's curse, she is left severely weakened and is unable to use magic. The Season 2 premiere shows that, like Eda, she can do ''some'' magic, but it's extremely weak and unreliable; when she tries to use ice magic, she only succeeds in producing a single small ice cube.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Much of Lilith's season 2 character arc is centered on her trying to figure out a new direction in life without her magic and position as leader of the Emperor's Coven after spending so much time defining herself by both.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: In "Covention". Despite Luz having little to no chance at beating Amity in a fair witches' duel, Lilith still cheats by using a power glyph to make Amity stronger. She claims she knew Eda was going to cheat (which was true), but the end result is still turning what could have been a clear victory for Amity into a mutual loss.
* DirtyCoward: For all of her bravado, Lilith is quick to let her fear get the better of her when things get rough. Despite her immense guilt over cursing Eda, Lilith has kept the truth from her sister for decades instead of confessing what she did. When it becomes clear that Lilith can't beat Eda during their battle in "Agony of a Witch", Lilith decides to use Luz as a HumanShield to give herself an advantage. She even ''allows'' Eda to fullyfunctional succumb to the curse so that she’d be easier to capture. Post-HeelFaceTurn, Lilith develops out of this, becoming willing to rush in to save Luz from a Stone Sleeper despite not having any magic.
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Lilith wants Eda to joing the Emperor's Coven in part because the two sisters will then no longer be on opposing sides of the law.
* TheDragon: Lilith is the head of the Emperor's Coven and Belos' most recurring subordinate throughout the first season. However, ItsPersonalWithTheDragon due to her being Eda's sister and the one who cursed Eda in the first place.
* DrowningHerSorrows: A PG version. After finding out that her mother Gwendolyn [[ParentalNeglect didn't visit her once]] but did visit Eda regularly, she drowns her sorrows eating dozens of slime ice cream, which came from the Night Market.
* DualityMotif: After she saves Eda from being completely consumed by her curse at the price of infecting herself, Lilith's right eye turns permanently gray, similarly to the Owl Beast's monochrome palette.
* EasilyForgiven:
** Neither Eda nor Luz were quick to trust her after she revealed to have cursed her sister and nearly killed Luz in order to capture her sister, with Eda about to maul her in response to all that. But after it was revealed the curse was meant to be temporary, and that she not only chose to betray Emperor Belos after he [[ILied said he wouldn't heal her curse]] but also saved Eda from most of the curse's effect by sharing it with herself, the two warm up to her more, showing that forgiveness didn't come without some heavy sacrifices on her part. However it's worth noting that while Lilith apologises several times to Eda for cursing her and goes to great lengths to atone for it, her trying to kill Luz and then ordering her to leave the BI is swept under the carpet with nothing but the vaguest possible reference.
** In "Separate Tides" Luz says that she hopes everyone, including her canbe become friends, showing she does not see Lilith as a friend yet. Which is justified as Lilith tried to kill her before.
** Played straight with her mother Gwendolyn and her father Dell. After Lilith tells her parents that she gave Eda the curse, they don’t hold it against her in the slightest.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Her skin is as pale as Eda's, but her hair is very dark. However, she used toactivate be a redhead just like Eda before she dyed it.
* EmpathicHealer: She has a spell that can split injuries and curses between herself and another person, halving their effects by sharing them. This is how she ultimately saves Eda from the Owl Curse, or rather buys Eda more time.
* EntitledBastard: In "Young Blood, Old Souls"; she seems genuinely surprised when Luz attacks her on sight and refuses to listen to her, even after she held Luz captive, used her as a HumanShield, then captured Eda and taunted her over it.
* EpicFail: Despite being the head of the Emperor's Coven, most of her time was spent chasing after Eda and trying to capture her so that Belos would cure her curse and forcibly induct her into the coven. Not only was this rendered AllForNothing since Belos revealed he had no intention of curing Eda's curse and was going to [[TakenForGranite petrify her instead]], but it is later revealed that Lilith had no idea about more important events happening while she was focused solely on her sister, like the true purpose behind the Day of Unity, or that several Coven Heads had been working against Belos. This is hilariously lampshaded by her when Steve asks her if she was aware of any of this when she was in charge.
-->'''Lilith:''' I'm... starting to think I wasn't very good at my job.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about Eda and genuinely regrets cursing her. She even entered a DealWithTheDevil with Belos in hopes of curing her. However, it's [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]; while Lilith genuinely loves her sister, [[ForYourOwnGood she's willing to ignore Eda's wishes if it means accomplishing what Lilith thinks is best for Eda]]. In addition, Eda seems to be the ''only'' person Lilith cares about, so she's willing to hurt or endanger others (either emotionally, like with Amity, or physically, like with Luz) without any apparent remorse.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She and Eda became estranged because she wouldn't listen when Eda argued that the Emperor's system of covens is unfair to magic users. Lilith also seems unable to truly accept that Eda genuinely doesn't want anything to do with the Emperor's Coven; instead, she acts as though getting Eda to join (even if it's by force) will eventually lead to her coming around to Lilith's point of view.
* EvilCounterpart: To Eda. While Eda is something of a magical outlaw, she also opposes an oppressive magical system. Lilith is more openly straight-laced, but she willingly follows authority. Lilith is also willing to use a child (Luz) in her own schemes and to protect herself, while Eda was willing to sacrifice her magic to save her charge.
* EvilIsBurningHot: She's the ArcVillainess of season 1 and she can use fire magic.
* EvilIsNotAToy: As a teen, Lilith placed a curse on Eda that she thought would only take away her magic for a day so that she could win their duel. To her horror, the curse turned out to be permanent and would only get worse with time. As an adult, she made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with Emperor Belos, promising to bring Eda to him if he removed the curse in exchange. When she finally succeeds in that task, Belos reveals he had no intention of honoring his end of the deal and sentences Eda to be petrified instead.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange:
** An old photo of her during her time in Hexside shows that she used to have puffy and bright red hair. [[invoked]]WordOfGod reveals that she dyed it darker and styled it differently upon joining the Emperor's Coven because she thought it made her look more intimidating.
** In Season 2B, Lilith's hair is starting to revert to its original puffy state, which happens to coincide with her embracing her nerdier side as a "bad girl historian".
** "For the Future" shows that, in the wake of the Collector taking over and the Clawthorne sisters going underground, she's cut it short and stopped bothering to dye or straighten it, as she's instead spent the time trying to brew elixir to keep their curses at bay.
* FantasticRacism: Lilith refers to Luz as Eda's human pet rather than Eda's student or friend, and later she tells Luz to go back to her own world. This changes in season 2, however, as Lilith begins to see Luz as an equal as shown in "Escaping Expulsion", where she sees Luz as a teacher and becomes a teacher's pet towards her.
* FatalFlaw:
** '''[[DrivenByEnvy Envy.]]''' A big part of why the SiblingRivalry between Lilith and Eda is so easy for Eda to exploit is that Lilith hates getting outdone by her sister, and will agree to go along with ideas she really shouldn't just because it gives her a chance to best Eda at ''something''. All of Lilith's other flaws, while significant, stem from Lilith's envy of Eda being a better witch than she is. This envy got so bad when they were young that Lilith inflicted Eda with the Owl Beast curse. Even though Lilith badly underestimated the severity of the curse, the fact remains that Lilith's envy led to her greatest regret.
** '''[[HairTriggerTemper Wrath.]]''' It takes very little to set Lilith off, and when she loses it, [[BlindedByRage she starts getting sloppy]]. Eda is able to trip her up ''very'' easily because Lilith starts losing focus when she's mad. During their fight in "Agony of a Witch", Lilith gets so angry after one too many barbs from her sister that she snaps and reveals that she was the one who cursed Eda, after decades of keeping the secret.
* FemmeFatalons: Has sharp, black nails.
* FieryRedhead: Just like her sister, she also had bright red hair when she was younger. Later in the series she lets her hair go back to its original red, although it's not as vibrant as when she was younger.
* FireForgedFriends: Mostly one-sided on her part. Lilith initially finds Hooty to be just as annoying as the other inhabitants of the Owl House do--compounded by him having humiliated her on a number of occasions--and brushes off his attempts to befriend and help her with increasing vehemence. When she picks a fight with a hive of fire-bees and realizes she's in over her head, Hooty rescues her--leading to her warming up towards him and giving him the nickname "Hootcifer" in repayment for him nicknaming her "[[EmbarrassingNickname Lulu]]".
* {{Foil}}: She's one to the Blight twins, Edric and Emira. All three are magically gifted older siblings who have a conflicted relationship with their younger sister. But while [[BigBrotherBully Edric and Emira may be bullies]], they seem to do it out of ToughLove and are genuinely remorseful after their prank in "Lost In Language" puts Amity's life at risk. In their next appearance, [[BigBrotherInstinct they're shown doting on her,]] while still making playful jibes at her, and are nothing but [[BigBrotherMentor proud of her being a talented witch in her own right]]. Lilith insists to want nothing but Eda's good, but tries to impose her authority over her and make her bend to the coven system. Later, it's revealed that she is the one who cursed Eda to strip her powers away during their duel to secure her place in the Emperor's Coven. Which, ironically, Eda was already willing to forfeit for her sister's sake.
* FlashStep: One of her spellslike any other pair allows her to move short distances as a burst of hands.flame and reform.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She--"prim, proper Lilith" as Eda calls her--is the responsible sibling to Eda's foolish sibling. Or at least that's how it seems before we learn she enables a broken magical system. It's ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]: she cursed Eda out of fear of her taking the only spot in the Emperor's Coven at the time, and didn't expect Eda to be the responsible one and willingly give it up for her.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Due to her hairstyle, her forehead is very prominent.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten:
** Luz reluctantly allies with her to save Eda. While this action makes her part of the Owl House family, as does taking part of Eda's curse, Eda and Luz take her in but make it clear it was only because she sacrificed everything.
** In season 2, Eda seems to be much more at ease with her sister, but still reminds Lilith of the curse in a teasing manner from time to time.
* {{Forgiveness}}: After roasting her about the curse and nearly killing Luz for about a dozen episodes in season 2, the Owl House residents, sans Hooty who went EasilyForgiven, have forgiven Lilith for the terrible things she has done to them. In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen," Hooty invites them to a party to celebrate Lilith's new job, and Luz reaches out to her both to comfort Lilith about her DesperatelySeekingAPurposeInLife and to ask for help in getting more leads on rebuilding the portal. Eda trusts Lilith to take Luz on a journey that may lead them to more answers, albeit warning her not to let anyone hurt a single hair on her apprentice's head. Lilith shows that she has changed by warning Luz that Deadwardian Philip Wittenbane doesn't seem to be benevolent because his flattering manner seems familiar, and quickly leaps into action when Luz faces a Stone Sleeper to save them both after Philip leaves them to die. Lilith of season one wouldn't have said, "Eda is going to kill me!" before rescuing Luz, or attempting it since Luz found out how to tame the Stone Sleeper from Lilith's lecutres.
*AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Her promotion from "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" means that she gets to live, meaning that her going for it instead of making it to her family reunion means she's banned for life. Then comes "King's Tide" in which she makes one last attempt at impressing Belos to get back into his coven. Belos just tells her to go rot.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss:ForYourOwnGood: She couldn't care less about what happens takes this attitude towards forcing Eda to the coven guards under her command as long they serve to get her greater favor from Emperor Belos. Even when informed that the tunnels they were digging through were unstable, her response for them to dig faster while she stood at become a safe distance. She even made poor Steve jump over a crevice just because.
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-rankedmember of the Emperor's Coven, Coven. Lilith sees it as both her way of fulfilling Emperor Belos' order to bring Eda in and her chance to have Eda's curse lifted.
* FunTShirt: In Season 2A she wears a shirt with a low battery symbol, a commentary on her {{depower}}ed state. Hooty also bought her a shirt that said "I was sacrificed to the Grand Huntsman!" during his trip to Titan Trapper Island, though she's never seen wearing it.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: As part of her EC makeover, she ditched her round glasses to appear more "intimidating". She starts wearing them again later on after she defects, adopting a more scholarly appearance.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: After her HeelFaceTurn, she ditches her formal Emperor’s Coven attire for a more tattered dress and novelty shirt. She goes even further later on in season 2, when she starts wearing glasses again and her hair returns to its natural curliness.
* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Is a powerful witch and her black hair, pale skin, dark clothing and makeup give her a gothic appearence.
* GreenEyedMonster: Lilith was jealous that she could never beat Eda in magic, which is one of the reasons why she ended up cursing Eda. Even though Lilith regrets doing so and genuinely wants to cure Eda, she's stillultimately barely a step above a henchman but acts bitter over her feelings of inadequacy and desperately wants to outdo her sister. It's also literal as if she's his right hand agent. This is likely why she actually has such a vendetta against Hunter green eyes.
* GuestStarPartyMember: She briefly joins theGolden Guard, Belos's ''actual'' right hand man, to the point that she tries to kill him multiple times. In "Clouds on the Horizon", after she's been demoted and [[spoiler:Hunter has defected]], she even brags to his face about how Belos might make her the new Golden Guard after [[spoiler:she turns him in]], and outright asks Belos if he's in need of a new right hand when she [[spoiler:delivers Hunter (actually Luz in disguise) to him]].
** [[spoiler:She becomes a straight example of this trope in "For the Future", in which she poses as Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] and then betrays her in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by The Collector's takeover. She even rants about "starting [her] own empire". Of course, she's still absolutely nothing of a threat compared to the Collector or Belos.]]
* BodyMotifs: Hands. Her bangs resemble a clawed hand and her bun resembles a clenched fist, and she commands a dragon-centipede creature made up of hands and fingers. And of course, her primary motivation is to become Belos' [[StealthPun right hand man]].
* BosssUnfavoriteEmployee: "King's Tide" finally reveals what Belos thinks of her. [[spoiler:After delivering who she thinks is Hunter to him and asking to be his right hand, Belos insults her to her face and tells her to go wither and die. While Belos hates all witches and demons, clearly, he especially never liked her inmain cast for the first place.]]
* ButtMonkey: Especially infour episodes of Season 2 nothing seems before leaving with her mother to go right make up for her. She's suffering lost time.
* HarpingOnAboutHarpies: The epilogue shows her having achieved a transformation into a harpy form similar to Eda's.
* TheHeavy: Is effectively the main antagonist of the first season while still taking orders fromSanitySlippage, gets defeated on a regular basis by Luz with or without help, the distant Emperor.
* HeelFaceTurn: In "Young Blood, Old Souls", she betrays the Emperor’s Coven andworse, joins the Owl House, thus becoming a fugitive. She even transfers half of Eda’s curse into herself, which severely weakens her own magical powers, but in turn saves Eda from being trapped in her most recent appearance, [[spoiler:not only does she get easily tricked by Terra Snapdragon due to being SuperGullible, but cursed form.
* HeelRealization: She finally realizes thatalso means that she's banished from her home of Palm Stings ''for life'' due efforts to not attending a family reunion. Not get Eda to mention that she later got demoted for her repeated failures, leading the division of join the Emperor's Coven that handles the transport of Abomatons. She does get a bone thrown when Odalia were misguided after Emperor Belos [[ILied reveals that he never intended to honor his word and cure Eda]] and Luz calls her out for capturing Eda and making her suffer. Not helping matters is when Owl Beast Eda shields her from the Abomatron, petrification spell; Lilith has a horrified look as she's ForcedToWatch her sister's execution, knowing that it's all her fault.
* HeroicSacrifice: Non-lethal variation. She uses her magic to split the curse between herself and Eda, stripping herself of her magic but allowing Eda to return to her humanoid form.
* HonoraryAunt: She eventually becomes one tooverpower and kidnap Luz, who sees Eda as her surrogate mother. With King officially adopted by Eda, Lilith is now his adoptive aunt.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Fully believed that Belos would remove the curse afflicting Eda even though Eda ''repeatedly tells her'' not to trust the Emperor. It's only when Belos reveals that he's not going to cure Eda that Lilith finally realizes how right Eda was.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: In Season 2. Not only did taking half of Eda's curse [[DePower cost her her magic]], but sheinitially thought that it was [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and was aiming for him specifically. Then in "King's Tide", Belos makes clear that he has no appreciation for her loyalty or work at all and tells her to go die in a hole.]]
* ChekhovsHobby: In "Hunting Palismen", she secretly listens in on Belos' private discussion with Hunter, which leads her to sabotage Hunter's mission. [[spoiler: "King's Tide" shows that listening to Belos' private meetingsis now considered a regular occurrence for her, meaning she knows about the Collector and is able to guide King to them.]]
* CorruptBureaucrat: Kikimora is more of a politician within the Emperor's Coven who handles all state affairs, but she feels threatenedtraitor by the Emperor's favor towards the Golden Guard, [[spoiler:so much so that she attempts to assassinate him.]]
* CreativeSterility: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", Luz lampshades how what she's doing at Hexside is basically just the same as what Belos did; fearmongering to gain power, showing that she doesn't have the brains to bother to come up with an original plan.]]
* CuteIsEvil: Her small stature, high voice, mostly obscured face,coven, and LaughablyEvil tendencies all combine to make Kikimora seem like a cute individual. Her adorable appearance contrasts with her ambitious and ruthless personality. Perhaps best seen in the opening credits of Season 2 where Lilith and the Golden Guard start off looking imposing while Kiki looks shy, only for the next images of them show Lilith and the Golden Guard looking more vulnerable while Kikimora [[NightmareFace looks deranged]].
* DefeatMeansMenialLabor: Possibly. [[spoiler:At the end of "Watching And Dreaming", she's seen helping with the construction of a new museum wing of the library with Matt and Lilith, though it's unknown if she's doing it as punishment or out of a change of heart.]]
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", no matter how much Matt's suggestions make sense, she just shoots them down, being more interested in her own power-base than forming a functioning community.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Attention isn't drawn to it but she seems to have a surprising amount of willpower as when the draining spell is activated, most of the other demons and witches are left completely incapacitated, including the coven heads, yet she's still able to move and talk enough to help King by leading him to the Collector's mirror so she can stick it to Belos]].
* DirtyCoward: When [[spoiler:Luz threatens her with a fire spell, she ''immediately'', without a second of hesitation, frees Eda, King, and Lilith.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Her loyalty to the Emperor finally expends itself when Belos tells him, upfront, that the best she could ever do to win his favor is to "find a hole to wither away in." After that, she helps King stop him, out of nothing more than an urge to see him paid back for his treachery.]]
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:In "For The Future", she takes the role of Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] in the ruins of Hexside, but her position as chief advisor essentially makes her the one in charge as she manipulates Boscha into consolidating power and vetoing efforts to reform their living conditions. It's made abundantly clear that Boscha is just a pawn, and Kikimora inevitably plans to double-cross her to start her own empire]].
* DragonRider: Thanks to her pet, [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After being cast aside by Belos despite everything she's done to earn his favor, Kikimora decides to help King release the Collector from his prison so he can stop the Draining Spell, all so she can get revenge on Belos.]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Kikimora is seen calling her mother during "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and it's clear she wants to please her, to the point of bawling her eyes out over her mother threatening her with banishment from her home of Palm Stings if Kikimora choose work over attending a family reunion. Luz is moved enough to see the similarities with her own mom. [[spoiler:Ultimately zigzagged as when given the choice between the family reunion and getting a promotion, she chooses the promotion and says, "Palm Stings can burn for all I care!"]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", she is crestfallen that she has to skip out on a family reunion to attend the parade and is brought to tears when she tells Luz her mother's threatened her with banishment if she doesn't come home. Downplayed by the end, as she deems her career to be be more important than her family, choosing not to go to the reunion when she hears she's getting a promotion. But, considering her reward from that was being allowed to live, she wonders if it was worth getting banished from her family.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", she takes particular pleasure in both mocking and attacking Luz, despite Luz barely doing anything to her at all.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Kikimora has always been walked all over by others. She finally proves everyone wrong about that in Season 3.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Even in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" she laments that she's been reduced from the Emperor's personal attendant to a "glorified party planner." As of "Clouds on the Horizon" [[spoiler:her constant failures have her demoted to a delivery driver for the Emperor's Coven.]] As of the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming" [[spoiler:her current job is now in construction and is seen working on the additions to the library.]]
* FamilyVersusCareer: Her conflict in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" is that her mother wants her at a reunion, but the Emperor's Coven wants her in the parade and she can't get out of it. [[spoiler:Despite Luz going through with a plan to fake her kidnapping so she'll be able to do both, she decides firmly on "career" when she hears Terra talking about a "promotion" for her, even attacking Luz. And of course, her "promotion" is just that she ''gets to live''.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Though her mouth is usually hidden, when she blows on a whistle to summon [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon]] it's revealed she sports boar-like tusks, though they come across more like CuteLittleFangs.
* FatalFlaw: [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] combined with {{ambition|is evil}}. She's super jealous of the Golden Guard and will do anything to become the Emperor's right hand woman. [[spoiler:She also jumps at the chance for a political promotion despite it being an obvious ruse showing how see-through her ambition is, which ends up costing her family's love. By the epilogue, Kikimora ends up as a lowly employee being bossed around by Matt Tholomule.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can speak in a calm and grandmotherly fashion, but it's usually laced with condescension, at best.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is starkly envious of the Golden Guard's closeness to the Emperor and she [[spoiler:arranges for him to be killed.]] Also seemed to be the case with Lilith as well.
* HateSink: Cowardly? Check. Sleazy? Check. Arrogant? Check. Self-righteous? Check. Petty? Check. [[spoiler:A backstabber who's perfectly willing to kill a child whether they're on her side or not? Check. Being aware of what the Day of Unity will actually entail and not caring one bit about others for her own gain out of a deluded belief that Belos would spare her?]] Check. From all of the aforementioned negative traits Kikimora has, it is safe to say we're not supposed to enjoy her screen time. After other villains get more positive traits or outright defect in Season 2 she comes to share this role with Odalia, [[spoiler:who not only willingly allows the Emperor's genocide to happen but thinks her family's social status will be elevated in exchange for her loyalty. Kikimora on the other hand is fairly humbler in her desires and thinking by comparison. She seems open to the possibility she will die in the process, so she'll at least take the satisfaction knowing she'll stick it to Hunter before the Day of Unity happens, and she thinks she'll be rewarded and enjoy it before she dies. On top of that, she’s at least willing to admit when she’s wrong, and accepted her punishment with dignity]].
* HeightAngst: It's implied her short stature may be a sore-spot for her given that she rides on Abomaton 2.0s to be literally above her underlings and her first reaction to [[spoiler:piloting the Abomatron]] is joy that "[she's] taller than everyone!"
* HighCollarOfDoom: A rare instance where the collar actually obscures most of her face, making her mouth rarely visible.
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Kikimora spent all of Season 2 trying to win the Emperor's favor, and kill Hunter. Between being disowned by her own family, and being told to go find a hole to wither in after failing ''again'', she's completely broken from all of it, but it has granted her enough perspective and isforced to accept Belos isn't the man she thought he was, and she's quite somber when spilling her secrets. For the first time, she’s willing to admit she’s wrong. After coming to terms with this, she gives King, the last Titan, the opportunity to release the Collector in order to give Belos the middle finger on his plans if he so chooses, her own life be damned since she's about to die anyways. Tellingly by the end of Season 3, Kikimora ends up accepting her punishment to serve in the library without protest]].live as a fugitive.
* AdoptedToTheHouse: Since Lilith is a traitor and an accessory to aiding and abetting enemies of state, she has no place to live, so Eda lets her crash at the Owl House, and she acts like the weird aunt trying to figure out her life. Later on, she leaves with her mother and moves back into her childhood home.
* AdvertisedExtra: Downplayed. Despite being advertised as a major character in Season 2 and getting a PromotionToOpeningTitles, Lilith stays in the Owl House for the first four episodes before deciding to leave with her mother. However, she still returns for episodic appearances with relative frequency.
* AffectionateNickname:
** Played with a bit because anytime Eda calls her "Lily", it's
** Hooty starts calling her "Lulu" when
* AllForNothing:
** Nearly all her years of loyal service to the throne is driven by the belief that if she can get Eda to join the Emperor's Coven (either willingly or by force), Emperor Belos will pardon all of Eda's crimes and lift Eda's curse. When she finally brings Eda in after forcing her to fully succumb to her curse, Belos reveals that he never intended to cure Eda.
** This even shows up in Lilith's backstory. A teenage Lilith cursed Eda to strip away her powers so that Lilith could beat Eda in a duel and gain a place in the Emperor's Coven, only for Eda to immediately forfeit. Worse still, she used the curse on Eda under the impression that it would only last for a day, only to realize after the fact that it was permanent and the effects would only get worse with time. This means that Lilith cursed her sister and ruined her life ''for no reason''.
* AlwaysABiggerFish: Lilith's cursed Raven Beast form is ''much'' bigger than Eda's Owl Beast form and is considerably more dangerous.
* AlwaysSecondBest:
** She's a weaker magic user than Eda, at least in part due to her sister being a JackOfAllTrades CombatPragmatist. Notably, she's only able to keep up with Eda after she has a VillainousBreakdown and starts fighting dirty too, and even then she is only capable of stalling long enough for Eda's curse to kick in. Eda even lampshades this, saying that Lilith still can't beat Eda, even when Eda is at her worst.
** It's revealed in "Agony of a Witch" that she cursed Eda when they were teens. "Young Blood, Old Souls" goes into more detail regarding the reason: Lilith wanted to join the Emperor's Coven, but she and Eda were pitted against each other in a witch's duel to win the one open slot in the Coven. Lilith knew Eda was superior to her, so she cursed her to weaken her enough to beat her.
** She apparently did outperform Eda in sports as children however, winning a significantly larger grudgby trophy being one of the few accomplishments she smugly holds over Eda's head, and though Eda managed to beat her fair and square in their rematch as adults the competition was close enough that it could have gone either way.
** Somewhat {{Averted}} in "Escaping Expulsion", Lilith proves to actually be much better at glyph magic than Eda, this is mainly because glyphs are a much more academic approach to wielding magic compared to spell circles. Eda was always stronger than Lilith, but Lilith was the more studious of the two, so in a magic style that is entirely built on [[LanguageOfMagic academic understanding of runes]] Lilith comes out on top.
** Completely averted in "For the Future", where it's
* AmbiguousSituation: With the reveal that the Owl Beast is actually a separate entity inhabiting Eda due to the curse, it's currently unclear what this means for Lilith and her Raven Beast form. Whether the Raven Beast is part of the Owl Beast, a separate creature, or something else entirely remains to be seen.
* AmbitionIsEvil: The reason she cursed Eda, turning her into an outcast and sentencing her to a FateWorseThanDeath? So she could guarantee her spot at the Emperor's Coven. Granted, she didn't know the curse would be permanent, but cursing her own sister while she was asleep is still a rotten thing to do.
* AnimalMotifs: In contrast to Eda and owls, Lilith's theme is ravens, as seen with her spells and her staff.
* AnArmAndALeg: Taking on Eda's curse also affected Lilith with Eda's demonstrated ability to detach her limbs, as she discovers when her left hand falls off and Eda literally screws it back into position, advising she'll get used to it.
* AndIMustScream: After being restored to normal following her first transformation into her Raven Beast form, Lilith says she was aware of what was going on, but couldn't stop herself from trying to attack her family.
* AntiVillain: Lilith holds a lot of power in an ominously-dictatorial magic society, doesn't mind cheating just to upstage her sister, and isn't above responding to simple mockery with violence. On the other hand, she's generally a kind teacher to her students, desires a friendly relationship with her younger sister despite her jealousy, and truly believes that she's doing good by working for the Emperor.
* TheArchmage: Lilith approaches her sister in magical power and knowledge, and being part of the Emperor's Coven leaves her abilities likewise unrestricted. She fits the archetype much closer in social standing, being in a position of authority overseeing magical education and [[CourtMage working directly for the Emperor]]. She also turns out to be a natural at rune magic and manages to devise formulae for several spells on her own.
* ArcVillainess: She's the primary recurring antagonist in season 1, heading the effort to capture Eda. It's not until the season finale that Belos takes center stage.
* TheAtoner: She deeply regrets cursing Eda, and the main reason she was so adamant in capturing her was that she truly believed that Emperor Belos would cure her. At the end of the first season, she even transfers half of the effects of Eda’s curse to her, severely weakening her own powers and giving herself the curse but allowing Eda to regain her humanoid form. That being said, she decides to leave with her mother to research the curse to come up with a cure on her own.
* AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: "Sense and Insensitivity" shows that despite being on opposite sides of the law the sisters do still care about each other. When Lilith is in danger, Eda saves her because she is TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou, and later Lilith expresses her wish for Eda to join the Emperor's Coven willingly rather than Lilith having to capture her. Even though Lilith put Luz in danger and revealed she cursed Eda, she was more than willing to betray Belos and share Eda's curse to start making amends.
* BeneathTheMask: Lilith tries her hardest to portray herself as a composed and mature witch, but often reveals herself to be a petty, childish, and bad-tempered woman. At the climax of "Agony of a Witch", the mask slips completely with her revealing to have cursed Eda when they were kids to gain a coveted spot in the Emperor's Coven, something that she [[MyGreatestFailure regrets to this day]], but never told Eda about.
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: As a teen, all Lilith wanted was to join the Emperor's Coven. She did so, but only after cursing Eda and unintentionally ruining her life, which turned out to be pointless in the first place since Eda was willing to stand aside and let Lilith have the one available spot in the Coven.
* BlueIsHeroic: Subverted in that despite being rather amiable, she still supported Belos' reign while wearing a primarily blue outfit. Played straight
* BoringButPractical: Lilith is able to
* AlienHair: Has
* BreakTheHaughty: She's arrogant, and prone to misfortunes.
* BringMyBrownPants: As a child, she was so excited to see the Emperor's Coven, she "peed a little", as Eda told Lilith's students to embarrass her.
* BrokenAce: She's the famous head
* ByTheHair: She suffers from this in "Covention", when Eda has Owlbert pull at her hair to distract her, and again in "Young Blood, Old Souls", when Luz attacks her.
* ButtMonkey: For all of her confidence and pride as the emperor's right hand, she's very prone to humilitiating slapstick, whether it's Eda pulling pranks on her or being tossed around by Hooty. After being stripped of her magic and forced to live on the run, her misfortune becomes even worse.
* CainAndAbel: Her relationship with Eda is antagonistic and they're on opposite sides of the law. However, Lilith still has plenty of sympathy for her sister--[[UnscrupulousHero which Eda is all too quick to exploit]]. However she's shown to be more of a Cain upon revealing that she cursed her own sister.
* CelibateHeroine: Her VoiceoverLetter in the March 2022 charity stream has her admit to Hooty that while she's happy to hear about Luz and Amity's RelationshipUpgrade, she's never personally had any interest in pursuing romance herself. It's implied at the time (and later confirmed by her voice actress) that she's an aromantic asexual.
* CharacterDevelopment: After leaving the Emperor's Coven at the end of season one, Lilith slowly drops the strict, uptight persona she had as a Coven leader and begins to express a more happy, dorky side of herself as she moves past her insecurities and guilt over her past actions, forming new friendships with Hooty and Luz in the process. She also senses that Philip is flattering Luz to get what he wants because it's what Belos did for Lilith to capture Eda, and prepares appropriately for a betrayal though as Luz points out, most of the Boiling Isles is murderous and "weird".
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: At Hexside, she wore the yellow uniform of a potions student.
* CombatPragmatist: Deconstructed. While she claims that she "works smarter" to beat Eda, in actuality she just plays dirty, plain and simple. From cheating at a witch duel on Amity's behalf to using Luz as a literal HumanShield to get an advantage at her rematch to Eda to resorting to curse her own sister while she was ''asleep'' so she could beat her for sure.
* CommutingOnABus: After the first four episodes of season 2, Lilith leaves the Owl House to reconnect with her mother and find a job, but returns periodically to help out the heroes.
* CoolAunt: Of the surrogate variety, but by "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" Luz has come to view her as one, openly referring to her as "cool Aunt Lilith".
* CopCriminalFamily: Lilith is a major figure in the Boiling Isles' coven system, the very thing Eda rebels against, and is eventually tasked with bringing Eda in to the Emperor.
* CostumeEvolution: After her initial appearance in regal black, she regularily makes changes to her appearance reflecting her current state of mind;
** In her appearances in season 2a, she wears an old, patched skirt and a shirt with a low battery print, reflecting her loss of status and depression after leaving the Emperor's Coven.
** In her appearances in season 2b, she wears a neater and more colorful outfit consisting of a dark violet red skirt, green top, and brown vest, and she has started wearing her glasses again. Her hair has also started puffing out at the bottom. The outift is overall neater than her earlier outfit, but nowhere near the strict perfectionism of her original outfit, reflecting her getting her life in order while also embracing her dorkier, less dignified side.
** In season 3, she has switched to a more practical garb, lost her glasses, and her hair is cut short and back to its original color, reflecting that with the Collector having taken over the Boiling Isles, practicality is the priority above comfort and dignity.
* CourtMage: Is the leader of the Coven that answers directly to the Emperor of the Boiling Isles. Downplayed since the Emperor resides over a MageSpecies, and therefore ''every'' member in his court is a mage.
* DarkActionGirl: Is a very powerful witch and fighter who whose job is to enforce Belos' rule over the isles and acts as an [[ArcVillainess antagonist towards Eda throughout Season 1]].
* DarkSecret: For decades, she hid that ''she'' was the one responsible for cursing Eda due to the shame she felt for ruining her sister's life.
* DarkIsEvil: Is an EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette who dresses in all black who works for EvilOverlord Emperor Belos and spends most of Season 1 trying to aprehend Eda so she could join the Emperor's Coven and is revealed to be responsible for giving Eda her curse as a kid. It's subverted in "Young Blood, Old Souls", where owns up to her mistakes and shares the curse with Eda, saving her.
* DealWithTheDevil: After cursing Eda, Lilith devoted herself to serving the Emperor, eventually becoming the leader of his personal coven. Lilith made a deal with the Emperor: in exchange for her loyalty and getting Eda to join the Emperor's Coven, Belos would pardon Eda's crimes and heal her of her curse. Unfortunately, Emperor Belos lied.
* DefectorFromDecadence: She betrays Belos after he reveals that he lied about his promise to her to cure Eda.
* DePower: After taking on half of Eda's curse, she is left severely weakened and is unable to use magic. The Season 2 premiere shows that, like Eda, she can do ''some'' magic, but it's extremely weak and unreliable; when she tries to use ice magic, she only succeeds in producing a single small ice cube.
* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Much of Lilith's season 2 character arc is centered on her trying to figure out a new direction in life without her magic and position as leader of the Emperor's Coven after spending so much time defining herself by both.
* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: In "Covention". Despite Luz having little to no chance at beating Amity in a fair witches' duel, Lilith still cheats by using a power glyph to make Amity stronger. She claims she knew Eda was going to cheat (which was true), but the end result is still turning what could have been a clear victory for Amity into a mutual loss.
* DirtyCoward: For all of her bravado, Lilith is quick to let her fear get the better of her when things get rough. Despite her immense guilt over cursing Eda, Lilith has kept the truth from her sister for decades instead of confessing what she did. When it becomes clear that Lilith can't beat Eda during their battle in "Agony of a Witch", Lilith decides to use Luz as a HumanShield to give herself an advantage. She even ''allows'' Eda to fully
* DontMakeMeDestroyYou: Lilith wants Eda to joing the Emperor's Coven in part because the two sisters will then no longer be on opposing sides of the law.
* TheDragon: Lilith is the head of the Emperor's Coven and Belos' most recurring subordinate throughout the first season. However, ItsPersonalWithTheDragon due to her being Eda's sister and the one who cursed Eda in the first place.
* DrowningHerSorrows: A PG version. After finding out that her mother Gwendolyn [[ParentalNeglect didn't visit her once]] but did visit Eda regularly, she drowns her sorrows eating dozens of slime ice cream, which came from the Night Market.
* DualityMotif: After she saves Eda from being completely consumed by her curse at the price of infecting herself, Lilith's right eye turns permanently gray, similarly to the Owl Beast's monochrome palette.
* EasilyForgiven:
** Neither Eda nor Luz were quick to trust her after she revealed to have cursed her sister and nearly killed Luz in order to capture her sister, with Eda about to maul her in response to all that. But after it was revealed the curse was meant to be temporary, and that she not only chose to betray Emperor Belos after he [[ILied said he wouldn't heal her curse]] but also saved Eda from most of the curse's effect by sharing it with herself, the two warm up to her more, showing that forgiveness didn't come without some heavy sacrifices on her part. However it's worth noting that while Lilith apologises several times to Eda for cursing her and goes to great lengths to atone for it, her trying to kill Luz and then ordering her to leave the BI is swept under the carpet with nothing but the vaguest possible reference.
** In "Separate Tides" Luz says that she hopes everyone, including her can
** Played straight with her mother Gwendolyn and her father Dell. After Lilith tells her parents that she gave Eda the curse, they don’t hold it against her in the slightest.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Her skin is as pale as Eda's, but her hair is very dark. However, she used to
* EmpathicHealer: She has a spell that can split injuries and curses between herself and another person, halving their effects by sharing them. This is how she ultimately saves Eda from the Owl Curse, or rather buys Eda more time.
* EntitledBastard: In "Young Blood, Old Souls"; she seems genuinely surprised when Luz attacks her on sight and refuses to listen to her, even after she held Luz captive, used her as a HumanShield, then captured Eda and taunted her over it.
* EpicFail: Despite being the head of the Emperor's Coven, most of her time was spent chasing after Eda and trying to capture her so that Belos would cure her curse and forcibly induct her into the coven. Not only was this rendered AllForNothing since Belos revealed he had no intention of curing Eda's curse and was going to [[TakenForGranite petrify her instead]], but it is later revealed that Lilith had no idea about more important events happening while she was focused solely on her sister, like the true purpose behind the Day of Unity, or that several Coven Heads had been working against Belos. This is hilariously lampshaded by her when Steve asks her if she was aware of any of this when she was in charge.
-->'''Lilith:''' I'm... starting to think I wasn't very good at my job.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: She cares about Eda and genuinely regrets cursing her. She even entered a DealWithTheDevil with Belos in hopes of curing her. However, it's [[DeconstructedTrope deconstructed]]; while Lilith genuinely loves her sister, [[ForYourOwnGood she's willing to ignore Eda's wishes if it means accomplishing what Lilith thinks is best for Eda]]. In addition, Eda seems to be the ''only'' person Lilith cares about, so she's willing to hurt or endanger others (either emotionally, like with Amity, or physically, like with Luz) without any apparent remorse.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: She and Eda became estranged because she wouldn't listen when Eda argued that the Emperor's system of covens is unfair to magic users. Lilith also seems unable to truly accept that Eda genuinely doesn't want anything to do with the Emperor's Coven; instead, she acts as though getting Eda to join (even if it's by force) will eventually lead to her coming around to Lilith's point of view.
* EvilCounterpart: To Eda. While Eda is something of a magical outlaw, she also opposes an oppressive magical system. Lilith is more openly straight-laced, but she willingly follows authority. Lilith is also willing to use a child (Luz) in her own schemes and to protect herself, while Eda was willing to sacrifice her magic to save her charge.
* EvilIsBurningHot: She's the ArcVillainess of season 1 and she can use fire magic.
* EvilIsNotAToy: As a teen, Lilith placed a curse on Eda that she thought would only take away her magic for a day so that she could win their duel. To her horror, the curse turned out to be permanent and would only get worse with time. As an adult, she made a [[DealWithTheDevil deal]] with Emperor Belos, promising to bring Eda to him if he removed the curse in exchange. When she finally succeeds in that task, Belos reveals he had no intention of honoring his end of the deal and sentences Eda to be petrified instead.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange:
** An old photo of her during her time in Hexside shows that she used to have puffy and bright red hair. [[invoked]]WordOfGod reveals that she dyed it darker and styled it differently upon joining the Emperor's Coven because she thought it made her look more intimidating.
** In Season 2B, Lilith's hair is starting to revert to its original puffy state, which happens to coincide with her embracing her nerdier side as a "bad girl historian".
** "For the Future" shows that, in the wake of the Collector taking over and the Clawthorne sisters going underground, she's cut it short and stopped bothering to dye or straighten it, as she's instead spent the time trying to brew elixir to keep their curses at bay.
* FantasticRacism: Lilith refers to Luz as Eda's human pet rather than Eda's student or friend, and later she tells Luz to go back to her own world. This changes in season 2, however, as Lilith begins to see Luz as an equal as shown in "Escaping Expulsion", where she sees Luz as a teacher and becomes a teacher's pet towards her.
* FatalFlaw:
** '''[[DrivenByEnvy Envy.]]''' A big part of why the SiblingRivalry between Lilith and Eda is so easy for Eda to exploit is that Lilith hates getting outdone by her sister, and will agree to go along with ideas she really shouldn't just because it gives her a chance to best Eda at ''something''. All of Lilith's other flaws, while significant, stem from Lilith's envy of Eda being a better witch than she is. This envy got so bad when they were young that Lilith inflicted Eda with the Owl Beast curse. Even though Lilith badly underestimated the severity of the curse, the fact remains that Lilith's envy led to her greatest regret.
** '''[[HairTriggerTemper Wrath.]]''' It takes very little to set Lilith off, and when she loses it, [[BlindedByRage she starts getting sloppy]]. Eda is able to trip her up ''very'' easily because Lilith starts losing focus when she's mad. During their fight in "Agony of a Witch", Lilith gets so angry after one too many barbs from her sister that she snaps and reveals that she was the one who cursed Eda, after decades of keeping the secret.
* FemmeFatalons: Has sharp, black nails.
* FieryRedhead: Just like her sister, she also had bright red hair when she was younger. Later in the series she lets her hair go back to its original red, although it's not as vibrant as when she was younger.
* FireForgedFriends: Mostly one-sided on her part. Lilith initially finds Hooty to be just as annoying as the other inhabitants of the Owl House do--compounded by him having humiliated her on a number of occasions--and brushes off his attempts to befriend and help her with increasing vehemence. When she picks a fight with a hive of fire-bees and realizes she's in over her head, Hooty rescues her--leading to her warming up towards him and giving him the nickname "Hootcifer" in repayment for him nicknaming her "[[EmbarrassingNickname Lulu]]".
* {{Foil}}: She's one to the Blight twins, Edric and Emira. All three are magically gifted older siblings who have a conflicted relationship with their younger sister. But while [[BigBrotherBully Edric and Emira may be bullies]], they seem to do it out of ToughLove and are genuinely remorseful after their prank in "Lost In Language" puts Amity's life at risk. In their next appearance, [[BigBrotherInstinct they're shown doting on her,]] while still making playful jibes at her, and are nothing but [[BigBrotherMentor proud of her being a talented witch in her own right]]. Lilith insists to want nothing but Eda's good, but tries to impose her authority over her and make her bend to the coven system. Later, it's revealed that she is the one who cursed Eda to strip her powers away during their duel to secure her place in the Emperor's Coven. Which, ironically, Eda was already willing to forfeit for her sister's sake.
* FlashStep: One of her spells
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She--"prim, proper Lilith" as Eda calls her--is the responsible sibling to Eda's foolish sibling. Or at least that's how it seems before we learn she enables a broken magical system. It's ultimately [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]: she cursed Eda out of fear of her taking the only spot in the Emperor's Coven at the time, and didn't expect Eda to be the responsible one and willingly give it up for her.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Due to her hairstyle, her forehead is very prominent.
* ForgivenButNotForgotten:
** Luz reluctantly allies with her to save Eda. While this action makes her part of the Owl House family, as does taking part of Eda's curse, Eda and Luz take her in but make it clear it was only because she sacrificed everything.
** In season 2, Eda seems to be much more at ease with her sister, but still reminds Lilith of the curse in a teasing manner from time to time.
* {{Forgiveness}}: After roasting her about the curse and nearly killing Luz for about a dozen episodes in season 2, the Owl House residents, sans Hooty who went EasilyForgiven, have forgiven Lilith for the terrible things she has done to them. In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen," Hooty invites them to a party to celebrate Lilith's new job, and Luz reaches out to her both to comfort Lilith about her DesperatelySeekingAPurposeInLife and to ask for help in getting more leads on rebuilding the portal. Eda trusts Lilith to take Luz on a journey that may lead them to more answers, albeit warning her not to let anyone hurt a single hair on her apprentice's head. Lilith shows that she has changed by warning Luz that Deadwardian Philip Wittenbane doesn't seem to be benevolent because his flattering manner seems familiar, and quickly leaps into action when Luz faces a Stone Sleeper to save them both after Philip leaves them to die. Lilith of season one wouldn't have said, "Eda is going to kill me!" before rescuing Luz, or attempting it since Luz found out how to tame the Stone Sleeper from Lilith's lecutres.

* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss:
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-ranked
* FunTShirt: In Season 2A she wears a shirt with a low battery symbol, a commentary on her {{depower}}ed state. Hooty also bought her a shirt that said "I was sacrificed to the Grand Huntsman!" during his trip to Titan Trapper Island, though she's never seen wearing it.
* TheGlassesGottaGo: As part of her EC makeover, she ditched her round glasses to appear more "intimidating". She starts wearing them again later on after she defects, adopting a more scholarly appearance.
* GoodCostumeSwitch: After her HeelFaceTurn, she ditches her formal Emperor’s Coven attire for a more tattered dress and novelty shirt. She goes even further later on in season 2, when she starts wearing glasses again and her hair returns to its natural curliness.
* GothGirlsKnowMagic: Is a powerful witch and her black hair, pale skin, dark clothing and makeup give her a gothic appearence.

* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", she is crestfallen that she has to skip out on a family reunion to attend the parade and is brought to tears when she tells Luz her mother's threatened her with banishment if she doesn't come home. Downplayed by the end, as she deems her career to be be more important than her family, choosing not to go to the reunion when she hears she's getting a promotion. But, considering her reward from that was being allowed to live, she wonders if it was worth getting banished from her family.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", she takes particular pleasure in both mocking and attacking Luz, despite Luz barely doing anything to her at all.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Kikimora has always been walked all over by others. She finally proves everyone wrong about that in Season 3.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Even in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" she laments that she's been reduced from the Emperor's personal attendant to a "glorified party planner." As of "Clouds on the Horizon" [[spoiler:her constant failures have her demoted to a delivery driver for the Emperor's Coven.]] As of the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming" [[spoiler:her current job is now in construction and is seen working on the additions to the library.]]
* FamilyVersusCareer: Her conflict in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" is that her mother wants her at a reunion, but the Emperor's Coven wants her in the parade and she can't get out of it. [[spoiler:Despite Luz going through with a plan to fake her kidnapping so she'll be able to do both, she decides firmly on "career" when she hears Terra talking about a "promotion" for her, even attacking Luz. And of course, her "promotion" is just that she ''gets to live''.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Though her mouth is usually hidden, when she blows on a whistle to summon [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon]] it's revealed she sports boar-like tusks, though they come across more like CuteLittleFangs.
* FatalFlaw: [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] combined with {{ambition|is evil}}. She's super jealous of the Golden Guard and will do anything to become the Emperor's right hand woman. [[spoiler:She also jumps at the chance for a political promotion despite it being an obvious ruse showing how see-through her ambition is, which ends up costing her family's love. By the epilogue, Kikimora ends up as a lowly employee being bossed around by Matt Tholomule.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can speak in a calm and grandmotherly fashion, but it's usually laced with condescension, at best.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is starkly envious of the Golden Guard's closeness to the Emperor and she [[spoiler:arranges for him to be killed.]] Also seemed to be the case with Lilith as well.
* HateSink: Cowardly? Check. Sleazy? Check. Arrogant? Check. Self-righteous? Check. Petty? Check. [[spoiler:A backstabber who's perfectly willing to kill a child whether they're on her side or not? Check. Being aware of what the Day of Unity will actually entail and not caring one bit about others for her own gain out of a deluded belief that Belos would spare her?]] Check. From all of the aforementioned negative traits Kikimora has, it is safe to say we're not supposed to enjoy her screen time. After other villains get more positive traits or outright defect in Season 2 she comes to share this role with Odalia, [[spoiler:who not only willingly allows the Emperor's genocide to happen but thinks her family's social status will be elevated in exchange for her loyalty. Kikimora on the other hand is fairly humbler in her desires and thinking by comparison. She seems open to the possibility she will die in the process, so she'll at least take the satisfaction knowing she'll stick it to Hunter before the Day of Unity happens, and she thinks she'll be rewarded and enjoy it before she dies. On top of that, she’s at least willing to admit when she’s wrong, and accepted her punishment with dignity]].
* HeightAngst: It's implied her short stature may be a sore-spot for her given that she rides on Abomaton 2.0s to be literally above her underlings and her first reaction to [[spoiler:piloting the Abomatron]] is joy that "[she's] taller than everyone!"
* HighCollarOfDoom: A rare instance where the collar actually obscures most of her face, making her mouth rarely visible.
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Kikimora spent all of Season 2 trying to win the Emperor's favor, and kill Hunter. Between being disowned by her own family, and being told to go find a hole to wither in after failing ''again'', she's completely broken from all of it, but it has granted her enough perspective and is
Added DiffLines:
** In "Covention", her pupil Amity calls Luz out for cheating when Eda had planted booby traps in the playing field. Almost immediately afterwards, Eda discovers that Amity was unknowingly using a power glyph from the construction coven (which Lilith placed on Amity's neck without the young witch realizing it) to strengthen her abominations.
** In "Once Upon a Swap", she calls Eda a "horrible sister" despite the fact that she was the one who cursed Eda. While it was later clarified that she only intended to remove Eda's magic for a day and genuinely didn't realize how dangerous the spell was, it was still a rotten thing to do to her little sister.
** She constantly calls out Eda for acting like a child despite not being very mature herself.
** Lilith frequently taunts Eda over how the curse has rapidly aged her, despite showing concern over that very thing. It gets even more hypocritical when it's revealed that Lilith was the one who cursed her and desperately wants to cure her out of guilt.
** For someone who claims to want to heal her sister from the curse she placed on her, Lilith has the nerve to let Eda succumb to it, so she can capture her and save her own skin from the Emperor’s wrath.
** After capturing Eda, she tells Luz that she's with her "real family"... the same family who cursed her.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her reasons for staying with the Emperor's Coven are so that she could make a deal with Emperor Belos to remove Eda's curse in exchange for her being inducted into the coven.
* IShouldHaveDoneThisYearsAgo: Once she, Eda, King, and Luz escape from the Emperor's castle, Lilith magically takes half of Eda's curse upon herself. She admits that she should have done so a long time ago.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Her letter to Hooty in the March 2022 charity stream makes mention of being asked out by multiple suitors. Given that she's aromantic asexual, she ends up turning them all down.
* IncrediblyLameFun: Season 2 likes to demonstrate that Lilith has some rather skewed ideas of what constitutes "fun".
** In "Echoes of the Past", when experimenting with glyph combos, she finds that the best part is watching the ink dry.
** In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", she thinks the history of Deadwardian balusters would make for an exciting new museum exhibit, though she seems to quickly realize that she's the only one who finds it interesting. Still, after traveling back in time to the Deadwardian period with Luz and having some free time before going back, she takes the opportunity to excitedly watch a builder carve a baluster. Luz herself doesn't quite get it but she can relate to having weird interests.
** A FreezeFrameBonus in "Any Sport In A Storm" shows Lilith posting reviews of inks on penstagram, tagging it as "#Cool".
* IronicName: She's named after Lilith, the so-called first woman who rebelled against God because of how he made women second to man and then went on to sire countless children with demons. By contrast, she's aromantic asexual and has a recurring problem of sucking up to authority figures.
* {{Irony}}: Lilith has a lot of misgivings about being AlwaysSecondBest to her sister. However, the two types of magic Lilith ''does'' excel at above Eda are ones that one would expect Eda to be good at; Lilith is one of the three best glyph casters in the world, the epitome of wild magic, despite having spent her life working for the Coven system that seeks to eradicate wild magic, while Eda is a wild witch. She also proves more skilled than Eda in potions, being able to brew Eda's healing potion from scratch with limited supplies in just a few months, whereas Eda spent 30 years never figuring out how to make them herself, despite Eda's primary source of income having been potion selling.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In "Agony of a Witch", while waiting for Eda to come for Luz, she grumbles that Eda would be late when ''she'' really needs her.
* JerkassBall: In "Keeping Up A-fear-ances". After a depressed Lilith learns her mother visited Eda regularly but never did so with her in thirty years, she tells a very excited King that his dad was no father for not waiting around to see King hatch from his egg. Cue King joining her as they [[DrowningHerSorrows drown their sorrows]] with ice cream. Justified as she’s understandably bitter about her mother only paying attention to Eda, and karma soon hits her when the curse activates.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] between this and JerkWithAHeartOfJerk; Lilith ''is'' a part of a dictatorship and is trying to bring in her own sister, but she seems to genuinely believe in Emperor Belos and wants Eda to come in peacefully so he can lift her curse. Then it's revealed that she will go to dire lengths to hurt Luz and revealed herself to have cursed Eda, painting her more as a BitchInSheepsClothing. Then it gets subverted in "Young Blood, Old Souls" where it's revealed that Lilith deeply regretted cursing Eda and genuinely wanted to help her. When Belos refuses to cure her, she turned on him and helped Luz rescue Eda; afterwards, she takes on part of the curse as a way to start making amends.
* KickTheDog: While threatening to kill Luz to force Eda to succumb to her curse was something they thought necessary to get Eda cured, she was needlessly [[LackOfEmpathy callus and dismissive]] to Luz's anguish over it, stating Eda was with her "real" family despite the massive betrayal of such she just admitted to.
* KidFromTheFuture: She ends up doing this in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" when she interacts with Philip, since (while neither of them are aware of it) he's actually her great uncle many generations removed.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: As the head of the Emperor's Coven, Lilith wears a conservative and elegant black dress and carries herself with an air of properness and composure, in contrast with her HotBlooded wild witch sister Eda. [[SubvertedTrope However]], that composure goes out of the window the minute her buttons are pressed or when in situations of high stress and frustration.
* LateComingOut: She didn't even begin to suspect she was aromatic asexual until mid season 2 (by which point she's in her late 40s). Given that she spent most of her life either training to get into or serving in the Emperor's Coven, it's likely that she mistook her lack of interest as simply not having the time for it.
* LeanAndMean: A rather lean villainous witch in a black uniform who led the tyrannical Emperor’s Coven.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Lilith gains a streak of white in her hair when she magically shares Edith's curse; one of her eyes turns grey too.
* LossOfIdentity: In the season two premiere, losing her magic and position as head of the Emperor's Coven has Lilith feeling that she has no purpose and leaves her questioning of who she even is now. Fortunately, she manages to work through most of these issues with some unexpected help from Hooty.
* MagicStaff: Like her sister, Lilith uses a staff topped with a bird of prey. The bird can come to life and do her bidding just like the owl on Eda's staff.
* MamaBear:
** After turning sides and growing close with Luz in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" she grows protective of her and accepts her as her honorary niece as shown when the first thing she does upon reuniting with Philip Wittebane after betraying her and Luz to the Stonesleeper is to punch Philip in the face and breaks his nose as a result.
** When the Collector starts bending the Boiling Isles to his will, she doesn't hesitate to charge at him to rescue King, all while yelling at him to "stay away from [her] nephew". She is later the first to object to King's suggestion that he ask the Collector to revive Hooty. While she may want her best friend back, she won't let King risk himself to do it.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: After taking half of Eda's curse into herself, her right eye turns grey.
* MeaningfulName: The original Lilith is said to have been the first woman created by God and went on to give birth to demons, a rather appropriate name for an eldest child who cursed her sister to turn into a demon.
* MessyHair: Flashbacks to her childhood and teenage years shows her with frizzy red hair, though in the present day she's straightened it out and dyed it dark blue. By season 2B her hair has started to curl at the bottom again although she still keeps it dyed dark blue.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: She brought Eda in to Emperor Belos, hoping that Belos would remove the curse like he promised. Belos reveals that [[ILied not only does he have no intention of removing the curse]], but he's going to [[TakenForGranite have Eda turned to stone]] as [[MakeAnExampleOfThem an example to anyone who challenges his rule]]. This finally convinces Lilith to betray Belos and save her sister.
* MomentOfWeakness: During their battle at the Emperor's castle, Lilith accidentally reveals to Eda that she was the one who cursed her. After Eda is captured and Emperor Belos goes back on his deal with Lilith to cure the curse (instead planning to have Eda petrified permanently), Lilith teams up with Luz to rescue her. Lilith reveals to Luz what happened: when the two were teens, they were pitted against each other in a witch's duel to see which one of them got to enter the Emperor's Coven. Lilith knew that Eda was the superior witch and would win easily, so she went to the black market and got a curse that was supposed to weaken Eda's powers for one day. However, Eda forfeited the duel and let Lilith win; as Eda left, the curse took effect and transformed her into an Owl Beast in front of the assembled crowd, turning her into an instant pariah. What makes things worse is that the curse turned out to be permanent and would gradually get worse until Eda was fully turned into a mindless beast.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The curse that she put on Eda was only supposed to strip away her powers for a day so that Lilith could win their duel and earn a place in the Emperor's Coven. She was horrified when she realized that the curse was not only permanent, but that it would get progressively worse over time. She has been frantically trying to find a way to cure Eda since then. She ultimately turns against Belos when he reveals that [[ILied he has no intention of removing Eda's curse]], rendering her efforts AllForNothing.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: She's very guilty in season two about the fact that she nearly killed Luz and used her as bait to capture Eda, with even Luz not trusting her in "Separate Tides". When Luz risks her life to save them both from a Stone Sleeper, Lilith squeaks, "Eda's going to kill me!" before running to help. She later punches Philip in the face for attempting to bargain with Luz to do more dangerous tasks for him, telling him to shove off and they don't need him.
* MythicalMotifs: In the epilogue she gains a Harpy mode just like her sister, presumably working things out with her version of the curse.
* NerdGlasses: As a child, Lilith wore a pair of large, round glasses. Starting with Season 2B, she goes back to wearing them.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Played with. While Lilith has always been something of a nerd, it's only really revealed to the audience after her HeelFaceTurn. In a way, it's actually a heroic trait, as it's a sign of her no longer conforming to Belos's facist regime and just being herself.
* NeverMyFault:
** For most of the first season, she wants to go against Eda's wishes and force her to join the Emperor's Coven so that Emperor Belos can cure her curse. Even when she reveals that ''she'' caused the curse in the first place, Lilith aggravates it further to capture Eda in the Season 1 finale and acts like Eda is being bratty about not wanting the cure. It takes Belos revealing he's going to execute Eda instead of curing her and Luz calling her out on her actions for Lilith to admit how badly she messed up.
** She briefly regresses to this in "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" and it's zigzagged; both of the Clawthorne sisters acknowledge that Gwendolyn's favoritism is unfair, and Eda doesn't want to be the center of her mother's attention since it means receiving multiple scam cures. On the other hand, Lilith doesn't acknowledge that Gwendolyn's favoritism spiked after Lilith cursed Eda because any parent would be frantic on learning their child became chronically ill on a random day.
* NoLoveForTheWicked: PlayedWith. She was TheDragon in Season 1, and she's later confirmed to be aromantic asexual, although this was only revealed after her HeelFaceTurn and her [[TookALevelInKindness kindness upgrade]].
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** In "Covention", she cheats on Amity's behalf in the latter's duel with Luz, correctly assuming Eda would do the same for Luz. When Eda exposes this, she gloats that Lilith has stooped to her level.
** When she loses her temper, Lilith behaves just as childishly and recklessly as her sister. In "Young Blood, Old Souls", when Eda (in her Owl Beast form) ends up BlowingARaspberry at Lilith, Lilith retorts that she's above that... then promptly engages in an EyelidPullTaunt.
** In "Separate Tides", she watches Hooty's battle with the fire-bees with childlike glee.
* ObliviouslyEvil: She really thinks that serving the Emperor's Coven is a good idea and ignores Eda's protests that Lilith is little more than an overpowered attack dog. After it was revealed that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda, in "Young Blood, Old Souls" it is elaborated that it was only meant to be a temporary spell that would have sabotaged Eda during their duel for a chance to be in the Emperor's Coven. The fact that it would be a permanent affliction that ruined Eda's life was a ''complete accident''.
* OddFriendship: After betraying the Emperor and moving into the Owl House, Lilith becomes buddies with Hooty, complete with {{Affectionate Nickname}}s.
* OhCrap: Lilith has a silent, horrified reaction when she loses her temper and blurts out that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks and sounds like she could be in her twenties or thirties, but [[invoked]]WordOfGod has confirmed that she is in her mid-to-late forties. This contrasts her further with Edalyn, who is a couple of years her junior but [[YoungerThanSheLooks looks like she is at least well into her fifties]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Completely loses it when Eda scores the winning point in their grudgby match, thus winning their bet and costing Lilith the chance to bring Eda in peacefully. She lets out a BigNo when Eda is about to score, then breaks down (either in distress or outright ''fear'') at going back to Emperor Belos empty-handed, again. It got to the point Eda gave Lilith her ring so she could tell Belos she put up too much of a fight and hopefully be punished less severely.
* OutOfFocus: She's a main character for the first four episodes of Season 2 before leaving with her mother and vanishing for the rest of the season's first half--with "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty's Door" only having a voice over and a flashback. She returns in Season 2B, though.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The commander of the Emperor's Coven is a powerful, versatile, resourceful, and (when [[BlindedByRage her temper does not get the best of her]]) cunning sorceress by any reasonable measure. She... [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter just isn't Eda]], [[TheResenter and never got over that fact]].
* ParentalNeglect: Suffered from this growing up, it wasn't done out of malice or anything, but Gwendolyn was so busy trying to cure Eda, and Lilith seemed so self-sufficient, that Gwendolyn ended up neglecting her in a lot of ways.
* PenPals: Lilith tells Hooty she’ll write to him in "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" when she leaves with her mother to reconnect with her parents. As of "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty’s Door" one of these letters are shown, wherein Lilith gives him emotional support.
* PlayingWithFire: Like Eda, she's fond of fire magic, only [[TechnicolorFire blue instead of Eda's orange]].
* PragmaticVillainy: While she gladly puts Luz in danger to get Eda to transform into the Owl Beast, Lilith doesn't bother to attempt so again after the fight (though she does grab Owlbert, presumably for the Emperor to consume). She instead throws Luz to the other end of the bridge and tells her to go back to Earth.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: She's given a spot in Season 2's TitleSequence.
* PutOnABus: At the end of "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", she moves back in and leaves with her mother, Gwendolyn, in order to study the curse more as well as to finally do some much needed mother-daughter bonding.
* PsychologicalProjection: In "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", Lilith projects her issues with her mother onto King's absent father, telling King that he was no father for not being there when his son hatched, bumming King out.
* PungeonMaster: Develops a love for puns and similar wordplays in season 2, blaming it on Hooty's sense of humor affecting her.
-->'''Lilith:''' Whoever sent that letter was sending them on a wild ''Luz'' chase. ''[chuckles]''
* QueerColors: Post-curse, her eyes are green and grey, the colors of the aromantic flag.
* QueerEstablishingMoment: A VoiceoverLetter during the March 2022 charity livestream reveals that she's aromantic when she admits to Hooty that she's never felt attraction to anyone.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Lilith is the head of the prestigious Emperor's Coven and is able to go toe-to-toe with [[TheAce Eda]].
* RichesToRags: In season two, as a result of betraying Belos in the last season, Lilith has lost all of her former status, including her position as head of the Emperor's Coven, and now lives as a fugitive with her sister.
* SanitySlippage: It's implied that Emperor Belos is growing impatient with Lilith’s lack of progress while hunting her sister, and this is affecting her mentally. In "Wing it like Witches", her failure to win the Grudgby game (which would have resulted in Eda willingly turning herself in) has her suffer a massive break down, falling to her knees and striking the ground with her fists at the thought of going back to Emperor Belos empty-handed, again. Even after Eda gives her some "evidence" she put up too much a fight, the usually merciful Lilith who hoped Eda would willingly join the Emperor’s Coven says she’ll be returning with ''backup'', clearly making sure Eda knows she’s joining the Emperor's Coven, whether she wants to or not. The following episode has her lose it even more and it causes her to reveal that ''she'' cursed Eda.
* SapientEatSapient: In "Agony of a Witch", Lilith suffers a one-sided beatdown courtesy of Hooty that ends up with a tree falling on her. Disheveled and humiliated, she's recalled by Kikimora--who informs her that she has a bird on her head. The bird demon mockingly tells Lilith she's in trouble, and when next seen Lilith spits out a mouthful of feathers--implying she vented her anger on the bird demon by eating it. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since both owls and ravens are known to eat other ''birds''.
* SayingTooMuch: In "Agony of a Witch", after decades of keeping it secret, Lilith lets her temper get the better of her and blurts out that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda when the two of them were children.
* SelfMadeWoman: In her speech at the Covention, she says that she came from "humble beginnings" and is now the head of the Emperor's Coven. The thing is though, she attempted to ''cheat'' her way in, and she only got in when Eda gave up.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:
** As a member of the Emperor's Coven, she's free from the normal PowerLimiter restrictions a Coven puts on a witch that limits them to the magical specialty of said Coven.
** As the ''leader'' of her Coven, she temporarily suspends Eda's status as a wanted criminal in "Covention" so Luz and Amity can duel.
** When two officers tell her they're ordered to send Luz-as-Eda to the Conformatorium, she burns the order and says, "The order is changed."
* ShipperOnDeck: The 2022 charity livestream reveals she's been supporting Luz and Amity after Hooty wrote about them in a letter to her, and she was happy to hear they finally got together. This is quite a big deal given that Amity wanted nothing to do with Lilith after her cheating stint.
* SiblingRivalry: Even besides being a magic authority and renegade, respectively, Lilith and Eda trade petty barbs and make constant attempts to one-up each other. It takes a darker turn when it’s revealed that she’s the one who cursed Eda so she could win their duel and join the Emperor's Coven, though she genuinely didn't realize how dangerous it truly was.
* SignificantWardrobeShift:
** A picture in "Wing It Like Witches" shows that as a student she used to have unruly bright red hair and wear glasses with no makeup. She stopped wearing glasses and adopted her signature straight black hair and jet black lipstick after joining the Emperor's Coven.
** In the second season, after leaving the Emperor's Coven, she is seen wearing a graphic tee (supposedly from the Human World) of a "low battery" symbol.
** In Season 2B, she wears a slightly more formal outfit consisting of a vest over a dress. She also goes back to wearing glasses while her hair is starting to become curly again.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lilith and Eda resemble each other with their pale skin, narrow chins, and long hair with side bangs. It's also revealed that the two both have naturally red hair.
* SuperMode: In "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E3WatchingAndDreaming Watching and Dreaming]]", the DistantFinale reveals that Lilith managed to make a pact with her Raven-Beast, letting her transform into a Harpy form similar to Eda's.
* TeachersPet: Humorously turns out to be one when Luz starts teaching her rune magic, including getting excited when Luz praises her work and doing projects for "extra credit" in her free time. The fact that her teacher is a human teenager and her school is a shack in the woods doesn't seem to phase her.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: The technician compared to Eda's performer. Lilith is by far the more academic of the two sisters, but finds herself at a disadvantage in Season 1 because Eda has more raw power, and her intuitive style is less predictable. Being the technician has advantages in Season 2, however, because she takes the time to understand the basic principles of glyph magic, giving her a great deal more control over the results. While Eda comes up with the idea of combining glyphs to produce new effects, Lilith is the one who figures out how to actually make it work.
* TeenHater: In "Agony Of A Witch" when the Hexside students are visiting the Emperor’s Castle, she greets them by rolling her eyes and tells them "Good luck with puberty!" Plus, she hates the Golden Guard with a passion because he's such a brat.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: In "Separate Tides", Lilith insists on collecting the ingredients for the scrying potion herself even though her magic is too weak to do so because she wants to prove she can do it without help, and to make up for what she did to her sister.
* TookALevelInKindness: After turning on Belos and reconciling with her mother, Lilith becomes a rather endearing dork and an aunt figure for Luz.
* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Towards the end of Season 1, Luz was ''livid'' that Lilith betrayed her own sister and lied about it, and vows to let Lilith have it when she sees her again.
* TsurimeEyes: She has noticeably sharp eyes, giving her a refined and serious look in contrast to Eda. After mellowing out in season two, her eyes become more rounded.
* UnevenHybrid: It's implied that Caleb Wittebane was an ancestor of the Clawthorne family, therefore making her, her sister Eda, and their father Dell all part human (by a very small percentage, given that Caleb died around 300 years before either of the sisters were born). This is confirmed in the final Post Hoot.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Unlike every other member of the coven system, Lilith does not appear to have a coven sigil, being able to move and act freely immediately after the draining spell ends while everyone who ''were'' drained are still knocked out. [[invoked]][[WordOfGod According to Dana]], they had intended to include a line about Lilith's brand being removed as a result of her exile from the Emperor's Coven, but it slipped their mind and didn't make it in, making it ultimately unclear how Lilith avoided the fate of every other witch on the isles (though a castmember suggests that it might just be because [[EvilIsPetty Belos hates her]]).
* TheUnfavourite: Downplayed. Gwendolyn favored lavishing attention on Eda, a trait that intensified significantly after Eda was cursed, to the point of regularly visiting Eda for the last thirty years while never doing the same for Lilith. However, Gwendolyn fixates on Eda out of concern for her curse and legitimately thought Lilith was independent enough to not need the attention. By the end of "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", Gwendolyn makes it very clear that she loves and cares about both her daughters, and regrets not noticing how her distance hurt Lilith as well.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** Thanks to Lilith cursing Eda, she indirectly caused her family to become broken. Season 2 flashbacks reveal that a cursed Eda accidentally slashed out her father's eye and immobilized his dominant arm when he tried surprising the girls with fireworks, while their mother tried to find a cure for her younger daughter. Gwendolyn wanting to cut out Eda's bile sac and operate on it motivated Eda to run away and become estranged, as their mother kept chasing scam cures when a medical witch told them the elixir is a temporary remedy. Raine also broke up with Eda because Eda was scared to tell her about the curse after what she did to Mr. Clawthorne. In the present at least, both Lilith and Gwendolyn take the first step towards reconciliation.
** "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" also reveals that a good portion of Belos's hatred of wild magic came from Luz and Lilith outsmarting him, and that the shape of his nose came from Lilith punching him in the face as Philip Wittebane.
* VagueAge: She's Eda's similarly-aged sister, but looks like she's in her prime. "Sense and Insensitivity" reveals that Eda [[YoungerThanTheyLook seems older]] than her sister due to the effects of the curse she suffers from. [[invoked]]WordOfGod states that Lilith and Eda are in their mid-to-late forties, with Lilith a couple of years older.
* WalkingSpoiler: She is heavily tied to one of the biggest reveals in Season 1.
* WellDoneDaughterGal: "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" reveals that their mother Gwendolyn, particularly after Eda was cursed, spent all of her time with Eda instead of Lilith, and it seems highly likely that much of Lilith's drive to succeed was to try and get her mother's attention. When she learns that Gwendolyn has been visiting Eda regularly, when she didn't even attend Lilith being accepted into the Emperor's Coven, the negative emotions triggers her cursed form.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Where her season one actions ultimately fall, as she is determined to cure Eda's curse via getting Eda to join the Emperor's coven, by force if need be. She genuinely believes Emperor Belos' promise to cure Eda is the only possible way to do so, and truly wants to cure Eda of the curse that Lilith never intended to last more than a day before it becomes permanent. To achieve that goal, she bends the law she's supposed to uphold, nearly brands an innocent bystander who's just in Eda's body at the moment, leads an armed raid on her sister's home, and eventually threatened Luz to force Eda's hand.
* WhamLine: In "Agony of a Witch":
-->'''Lilith:''' ''"Then WHY were you so easy to curse?!"''
* WhatYouAreInTheDark:
** She failed this big time. When she and Eda were children, they were obligated to duel for the one open spot in the Emperor's Coven. Rather than talk with Eda about it, Lilith found a curse and cast it on her sister while she was sleeping. The next day, Eda immediately forfeited the duel so Lilith could fulfill her dream, only for the curse to activate and cause everyone to ostracize Eda. Rather than confessing and apologizing to Eda (and lacking the power to lift the curse herself), Lilith doubled down and became obsessed with ingratiating herself to Belos in hopes that he would cure Eda's curse. "Young Blood, Old Souls" has her finally overcoming this when she discovers that Belos [[ILied had no intention of lifting the curse]]. Realizing that her efforts to fully cure it were AllForNothing, she instead chooses to share Eda's curse, acknowledging that she ought to have done so years ago.
** To a lesser extent, while Gwendolyn was up to her ears trying to find a cure for Eda, Lilith never told her that the curse came from the Night Market, both out of resentment that Gwendolyn was more worried about her sick child than her healthy, seemingly self-sufficient older daughter and wallowing in guilt that it was her fault Eda's in this mess. When she finally does come clean, Gwendolyn takes it well if regretting that they both spent years barking up the wrong trees to find a solution for Eda's dilemma.
* {{Womanchild}}: Despite being the "older, responsible" sibling, she has various bouts of immaturity and would regularly [[NotSoAboveItAll throw tantrums, retaliate and act out]] whenever Eda gets one over her. While learning glyphs from Luz, Lilith acts like an excitable schoolchild, calling Luz "Miss Teacher" and generally behaving like a TeachersPet.
* WouldHurtAChild: She puts Luz in mortal danger in order to get Eda to exert her magical power and hasten her curse in "Agony of a Witch".
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She tells Hooty this via letter in "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", pointing that as the Owl House himself, he takes care of all those within him.

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MelaLee
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ms_kiki.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"You heard Terra. They want to promote me! ''Me''!"'']]
->''"This could be my last chance to show Belos what I can do, and I just know that brat Golden Guard will try to spoil it."''
The Emperor's personal attendant, making her a high-ranking member of his coven and a part of his inner circle.
----
* AffectionateNickname: She is sometimes called "Kiki", but whether or not it's affectionate depends on the person in question. Lilith used the nickname rather dismissively when we first hear it, which subverts the affectionate part. Later on, it's played straight when Belos refers to her as "Kiki" after reassuring her that [[spoiler:there will be no need to hunt Eda and co. down since Belos has the portal door now.]]
* AlienHair: Has what looks like clawed hands emulating hair; an open palm grasping her head for bangs and a clinched fist directly attached to it loosely resembling a bun. Unsurprisingly, they're revealed to be fully functional and can be used to activate spells like any other pair of hands.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Her promotion from "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" means that she gets to live, meaning that her going for it instead of making it to her family reunion means she's banned for life. Then comes "King's Tide" in which she makes one last attempt at impressing Belos to get back into his coven. Belos just tells her to go rot.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss: She couldn't care less about what happens to the coven guards under her command as long they serve to get her greater favor from Emperor Belos. Even when informed that the tunnels they were digging through were unstable, her response for them to dig faster while she stood at a safe distance. She even made poor Steve jump over a crevice just because.
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-ranked member of the Emperor's Coven, she's still ultimately barely a step above a henchman but acts as if she's his right hand agent. This is likely why she has such a vendetta against Hunter the Golden Guard, Belos's ''actual'' right hand man, to the point that she tries to kill him multiple times. In "Clouds on the Horizon", after she's been demoted and [[spoiler:Hunter has defected]], she even brags to his face about how Belos might make her the new Golden Guard after [[spoiler:she turns him in]], and outright asks Belos if he's in need of a new right hand when she [[spoiler:delivers Hunter (actually Luz in disguise) to him]].
** [[spoiler:She becomes a straight example of this trope in "For the Future", in which she poses as Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] and then betrays her in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by The Collector's takeover. She even rants about "starting [her] own empire". Of course, she's still absolutely nothing of a threat compared to the Collector or Belos.]]
* BodyMotifs: Hands. Her bangs resemble a clawed hand and her bun resembles a clenched fist, and she commands a dragon-centipede creature made up of hands and fingers. And of course, her primary motivation is to become Belos' [[StealthPun right hand man]].
* BosssUnfavoriteEmployee: "King's Tide" finally reveals what Belos thinks of her. [[spoiler:After delivering who she thinks is Hunter to him and asking to be his right hand, Belos insults her to her face and tells her to go wither and die. While Belos hates all witches and demons, clearly, he especially never liked her in the first place.]]
* ButtMonkey: Especially in Season 2 nothing seems to go right for her. She's suffering from SanitySlippage, gets defeated on a regular basis by Luz with or without help, and worse, in her most recent appearance, [[spoiler:not only does she get easily tricked by Terra Snapdragon due to being SuperGullible, but that also means that she's banished from her home of Palm Stings ''for life'' due to not attending a family reunion. Not to mention that she later got demoted for her repeated failures, leading the division of the Emperor's Coven that handles the transport of Abomatons. She does get a bone thrown when Odalia reveals the Abomatron, allowing her to overpower and kidnap Luz, but she initially thought that it was [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and was aiming for him specifically. Then in "King's Tide", Belos makes clear that he has no appreciation for her loyalty or work at all and tells her to go die in a hole.]]
* ChekhovsHobby: In "Hunting Palismen", she secretly listens in on Belos' private discussion with Hunter, which leads her to sabotage Hunter's mission. [[spoiler: "King's Tide" shows that listening to Belos' private meetings is a regular occurrence for her, meaning she knows about the Collector and is able to guide King to them.]]
* CorruptBureaucrat: Kikimora is more of a politician within the Emperor's Coven who handles all state affairs, but she feels threatened by the Emperor's favor towards the Golden Guard, [[spoiler:so much so that she attempts to assassinate him.]]
* CreativeSterility: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", Luz lampshades how what she's doing at Hexside is basically just the same as what Belos did; fearmongering to gain power, showing that she doesn't have the brains to bother to come up with an original plan.]]
* CuteIsEvil: Her small stature, high voice, mostly obscured face, and LaughablyEvil tendencies all combine to make Kikimora seem like a cute individual. Her adorable appearance contrasts with her ambitious and ruthless personality. Perhaps best seen in the opening credits of Season 2 where Lilith and the Golden Guard start off looking imposing while Kiki looks shy, only for the next images of them show Lilith and the Golden Guard looking more vulnerable while Kikimora [[NightmareFace looks deranged]].
* DefeatMeansMenialLabor: Possibly. [[spoiler:At the end of "Watching And Dreaming", she's seen helping with the construction of a new museum wing of the library with Matt and Lilith, though it's unknown if she's doing it as punishment or out of a change of heart.]]
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", no matter how much Matt's suggestions make sense, she just shoots them down, being more interested in her own power-base than forming a functioning community.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Attention isn't drawn to it but she seems to have a surprising amount of willpower as when the draining spell is activated, most of the other demons and witches are left completely incapacitated, including the coven heads, yet she's still able to move and talk enough to help King by leading him to the Collector's mirror so she can stick it to Belos]].
* DirtyCoward: When [[spoiler:Luz threatens her with a fire spell, she ''immediately'', without a second of hesitation, frees Eda, King, and Lilith.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Her loyalty to the Emperor finally expends itself when Belos tells him, upfront, that the best she could ever do to win his favor is to "find a hole to wither away in." After that, she helps King stop him, out of nothing more than an urge to see him paid back for his treachery.]]
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:In "For The Future", she takes the role of Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] in the ruins of Hexside, but her position as chief advisor essentially makes her the one in charge as she manipulates Boscha into consolidating power and vetoing efforts to reform their living conditions. It's made abundantly clear that Boscha is just a pawn, and Kikimora inevitably plans to double-cross her to start her own empire]].
* DragonRider: Thanks to her pet, [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After being cast aside by Belos despite everything she's done to earn his favor, Kikimora decides to help King release the Collector from his prison so he can stop the Draining Spell, all so she can get revenge on Belos.]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Kikimora is seen calling her mother during "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and it's clear she wants to please her, to the point of bawling her eyes out over her mother threatening her with banishment from her home of Palm Stings if Kikimora choose work over attending a family reunion. Luz is moved enough to see the similarities with her own mom. [[spoiler:Ultimately zigzagged as when given the choice between the family reunion and getting a promotion, she chooses the promotion and says, "Palm Stings can burn for all I care!"]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", she is crestfallen that she has to skip out on a family reunion to attend the parade and is brought to tears when she tells Luz her mother's threatened her with banishment if she doesn't come home. Downplayed by the end, as she deems her career to be be more important than her family, choosing not to go to the reunion when she hears she's getting a promotion. But, considering her reward from that was being allowed to live, she wonders if it was worth getting banished from her family.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", she takes particular pleasure in both mocking and attacking Luz, despite Luz barely doing anything to her at all.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Kikimora has always been walked all over by others. She finally proves everyone wrong about that in Season 3.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Even in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" she laments that she's been reduced from the Emperor's personal attendant to a "glorified party planner." As of "Clouds on the Horizon" [[spoiler:her constant failures have her demoted to a delivery driver for the Emperor's Coven.]] As of the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming" [[spoiler:her current job is now in construction and is seen working on the additions to the library.]]
* FamilyVersusCareer: Her conflict in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" is that her mother wants her at a reunion, but the Emperor's Coven wants her in the parade and she can't get out of it. [[spoiler:Despite Luz going through with a plan to fake her kidnapping so she'll be able to do both, she decides firmly on "career" when she hears Terra talking about a "promotion" for her, even attacking Luz. And of course, her "promotion" is just that she ''gets to live''.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Though her mouth is usually hidden, when she blows on a whistle to summon [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon]] it's revealed she sports boar-like tusks, though they come across more like CuteLittleFangs.
* FatalFlaw: [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] combined with {{ambition|is evil}}. She's super jealous of the Golden Guard and will do anything to become the Emperor's right hand woman. [[spoiler:She also jumps at the chance for a political promotion despite it being an obvious ruse showing how see-through her ambition is, which ends up costing her family's love. By the epilogue, Kikimora ends up as a lowly employee being bossed around by Matt Tholomule.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can speak in a calm and grandmotherly fashion, but it's usually laced with condescension, at best.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is starkly envious of the Golden Guard's closeness to the Emperor and she [[spoiler:arranges for him to be killed.]] Also seemed to be the case with Lilith as well.
* HateSink: Cowardly? Check. Sleazy? Check. Arrogant? Check. Self-righteous? Check. Petty? Check. [[spoiler:A backstabber who's perfectly willing to kill a child whether they're on her side or not? Check. Being aware of what the Day of Unity will actually entail and not caring one bit about others for her own gain out of a deluded belief that Belos would spare her?]] Check. From all of the aforementioned negative traits Kikimora has, it is safe to say we're not supposed to enjoy her screen time. After other villains get more positive traits or outright defect in Season 2 she comes to share this role with Odalia, [[spoiler:who not only willingly allows the Emperor's genocide to happen but thinks her family's social status will be elevated in exchange for her loyalty. Kikimora on the other hand is fairly humbler in her desires and thinking by comparison. She seems open to the possibility she will die in the process, so she'll at least take the satisfaction knowing she'll stick it to Hunter before the Day of Unity happens, and she thinks she'll be rewarded and enjoy it before she dies. On top of that, she’s at least willing to admit when she’s wrong, and accepted her punishment with dignity]].
* HeightAngst: It's implied her short stature may be a sore-spot for her given that she rides on Abomaton 2.0s to be literally above her underlings and her first reaction to [[spoiler:piloting the Abomatron]] is joy that "[she's] taller than everyone!"
* HighCollarOfDoom: A rare instance where the collar actually obscures most of her face, making her mouth rarely visible.
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Kikimora spent all of Season 2 trying to win the Emperor's favor, and kill Hunter. Between being disowned by her own family, and being told to go find a hole to wither in after failing ''again'', she's completely broken from all of it, but it has granted her enough perspective and is forced to accept Belos isn't the man she thought he was, and she's quite somber when spilling her secrets. For the first time, she’s willing to admit she’s wrong. After coming to terms with this, she gives King, the last Titan, the opportunity to release the Collector in order to give Belos the middle finger on his plans if he so chooses, her own life be damned since she's about to die anyways. Tellingly by the end of Season 3, Kikimora ends up accepting her punishment to serve in the library without protest]].
* {{Hypocrite}}:
** In "Once Upon a Swap", she calls Eda a "horrible sister" despite the fact that she was the one who cursed Eda. While it was later clarified that she only intended to remove Eda's magic for a day and genuinely didn't realize how dangerous the spell was, it was still a rotten thing to do to her little sister.
** She constantly calls out Eda for acting like a child despite not being very mature herself.
** Lilith frequently taunts Eda over how the curse has rapidly aged her, despite showing concern over that very thing. It gets even more hypocritical when it's revealed that Lilith was the one who cursed her and desperately wants to cure her out of guilt.
** For someone who claims to want to heal her sister from the curse she placed on her, Lilith has the nerve to let Eda succumb to it, so she can capture her and save her own skin from the Emperor’s wrath.
** After capturing Eda, she tells Luz that she's with her "real family"... the same family who cursed her.
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: Her reasons for staying with the Emperor's Coven are so that she could make a deal with Emperor Belos to remove Eda's curse in exchange for her being inducted into the coven.
* IShouldHaveDoneThisYearsAgo: Once she, Eda, King, and Luz escape from the Emperor's castle, Lilith magically takes half of Eda's curse upon herself. She admits that she should have done so a long time ago.
* IncompatibleOrientation: Her letter to Hooty in the March 2022 charity stream makes mention of being asked out by multiple suitors. Given that she's aromantic asexual, she ends up turning them all down.
* IncrediblyLameFun: Season 2 likes to demonstrate that Lilith has some rather skewed ideas of what constitutes "fun".
** In "Echoes of the Past", when experimenting with glyph combos, she finds that the best part is watching the ink dry.
** In "Elsewhere and Elsewhen", she thinks the history of Deadwardian balusters would make for an exciting new museum exhibit, though she seems to quickly realize that she's the only one who finds it interesting. Still, after traveling back in time to the Deadwardian period with Luz and having some free time before going back, she takes the opportunity to excitedly watch a builder carve a baluster. Luz herself doesn't quite get it but she can relate to having weird interests.
** A FreezeFrameBonus in "Any Sport In A Storm" shows Lilith posting reviews of inks on penstagram, tagging it as "#Cool".
* IronicName: She's named after Lilith, the so-called first woman who rebelled against God because of how he made women second to man and then went on to sire countless children with demons. By contrast, she's aromantic asexual and has a recurring problem of sucking up to authority figures.
* {{Irony}}: Lilith has a lot of misgivings about being AlwaysSecondBest to her sister. However, the two types of magic Lilith ''does'' excel at above Eda are ones that one would expect Eda to be good at; Lilith is one of the three best glyph casters in the world, the epitome of wild magic, despite having spent her life working for the Coven system that seeks to eradicate wild magic, while Eda is a wild witch. She also proves more skilled than Eda in potions, being able to brew Eda's healing potion from scratch with limited supplies in just a few months, whereas Eda spent 30 years never figuring out how to make them herself, despite Eda's primary source of income having been potion selling.
* ItsAllAboutMe: In "Agony of a Witch", while waiting for Eda to come for Luz, she grumbles that Eda would be late when ''she'' really needs her.
* JerkassBall: In "Keeping Up A-fear-ances". After a depressed Lilith learns her mother visited Eda regularly but never did so with her in thirty years, she tells a very excited King that his dad was no father for not waiting around to see King hatch from his egg. Cue King joining her as they [[DrowningHerSorrows drown their sorrows]] with ice cream. Justified as she’s understandably bitter about her mother only paying attention to Eda, and karma soon hits her when the curse activates.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-Zagged]] between this and JerkWithAHeartOfJerk; Lilith ''is'' a part of a dictatorship and is trying to bring in her own sister, but she seems to genuinely believe in Emperor Belos and wants Eda to come in peacefully so he can lift her curse. Then it's revealed that she will go to dire lengths to hurt Luz and revealed herself to have cursed Eda, painting her more as a BitchInSheepsClothing. Then it gets subverted in "Young Blood, Old Souls" where it's revealed that Lilith deeply regretted cursing Eda and genuinely wanted to help her. When Belos refuses to cure her, she turned on him and helped Luz rescue Eda; afterwards, she takes on part of the curse as a way to start making amends.
* KickTheDog: While threatening to kill Luz to force Eda to succumb to her curse was something they thought necessary to get Eda cured, she was needlessly [[LackOfEmpathy callus and dismissive]] to Luz's anguish over it, stating Eda was with her "real" family despite the massive betrayal of such she just admitted to.
* KidFromTheFuture: She ends up doing this in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" when she interacts with Philip, since (while neither of them are aware of it) he's actually her great uncle many generations removed.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: As the head of the Emperor's Coven, Lilith wears a conservative and elegant black dress and carries herself with an air of properness and composure, in contrast with her HotBlooded wild witch sister Eda. [[SubvertedTrope However]], that composure goes out of the window the minute her buttons are pressed or when in situations of high stress and frustration.
* LateComingOut: She didn't even begin to suspect she was aromatic asexual until mid season 2 (by which point she's in her late 40s). Given that she spent most of her life either training to get into or serving in the Emperor's Coven, it's likely that she mistook her lack of interest as simply not having the time for it.
* LeanAndMean: A rather lean villainous witch in a black uniform who led the tyrannical Emperor’s Coven.
* LockedIntoStrangeness: Lilith gains a streak of white in her hair when she magically shares Edith's curse; one of her eyes turns grey too.
* LossOfIdentity: In the season two premiere, losing her magic and position as head of the Emperor's Coven has Lilith feeling that she has no purpose and leaves her questioning of who she even is now. Fortunately, she manages to work through most of these issues with some unexpected help from Hooty.
* MagicStaff: Like her sister, Lilith uses a staff topped with a bird of prey. The bird can come to life and do her bidding just like the owl on Eda's staff.
* MamaBear:
** After turning sides and growing close with Luz in "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" she grows protective of her and accepts her as her honorary niece as shown when the first thing she does upon reuniting with Philip Wittebane after betraying her and Luz to the Stonesleeper is to punch Philip in the face and breaks his nose as a result.
** When the Collector starts bending the Boiling Isles to his will, she doesn't hesitate to charge at him to rescue King, all while yelling at him to "stay away from [her] nephew". She is later the first to object to King's suggestion that he ask the Collector to revive Hooty. While she may want her best friend back, she won't let King risk himself to do it.
* MarkOfTheSupernatural: After taking half of Eda's curse into herself, her right eye turns grey.
* MeaningfulName: The original Lilith is said to have been the first woman created by God and went on to give birth to demons, a rather appropriate name for an eldest child who cursed her sister to turn into a demon.
* MessyHair: Flashbacks to her childhood and teenage years shows her with frizzy red hair, though in the present day she's straightened it out and dyed it dark blue. By season 2B her hair has started to curl at the bottom again although she still keeps it dyed dark blue.
* MistreatmentInducedBetrayal: She brought Eda in to Emperor Belos, hoping that Belos would remove the curse like he promised. Belos reveals that [[ILied not only does he have no intention of removing the curse]], but he's going to [[TakenForGranite have Eda turned to stone]] as [[MakeAnExampleOfThem an example to anyone who challenges his rule]]. This finally convinces Lilith to betray Belos and save her sister.
* MomentOfWeakness: During their battle at the Emperor's castle, Lilith accidentally reveals to Eda that she was the one who cursed her. After Eda is captured and Emperor Belos goes back on his deal with Lilith to cure the curse (instead planning to have Eda petrified permanently), Lilith teams up with Luz to rescue her. Lilith reveals to Luz what happened: when the two were teens, they were pitted against each other in a witch's duel to see which one of them got to enter the Emperor's Coven. Lilith knew that Eda was the superior witch and would win easily, so she went to the black market and got a curse that was supposed to weaken Eda's powers for one day. However, Eda forfeited the duel and let Lilith win; as Eda left, the curse took effect and transformed her into an Owl Beast in front of the assembled crowd, turning her into an instant pariah. What makes things worse is that the curse turned out to be permanent and would gradually get worse until Eda was fully turned into a mindless beast.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The curse that she put on Eda was only supposed to strip away her powers for a day so that Lilith could win their duel and earn a place in the Emperor's Coven. She was horrified when she realized that the curse was not only permanent, but that it would get progressively worse over time. She has been frantically trying to find a way to cure Eda since then. She ultimately turns against Belos when he reveals that [[ILied he has no intention of removing Eda's curse]], rendering her efforts AllForNothing.
* MyGreatestSecondChance: She's very guilty in season two about the fact that she nearly killed Luz and used her as bait to capture Eda, with even Luz not trusting her in "Separate Tides". When Luz risks her life to save them both from a Stone Sleeper, Lilith squeaks, "Eda's going to kill me!" before running to help. She later punches Philip in the face for attempting to bargain with Luz to do more dangerous tasks for him, telling him to shove off and they don't need him.
* MythicalMotifs: In the epilogue she gains a Harpy mode just like her sister, presumably working things out with her version of the curse.
* NerdGlasses: As a child, Lilith wore a pair of large, round glasses. Starting with Season 2B, she goes back to wearing them.
* NerdInEvilsHelmet: Played with. While Lilith has always been something of a nerd, it's only really revealed to the audience after her HeelFaceTurn. In a way, it's actually a heroic trait, as it's a sign of her no longer conforming to Belos's facist regime and just being herself.
* NeverMyFault:
** For most of the first season, she wants to go against Eda's wishes and force her to join the Emperor's Coven so that Emperor Belos can cure her curse. Even when she reveals that ''she'' caused the curse in the first place, Lilith aggravates it further to capture Eda in the Season 1 finale and acts like Eda is being bratty about not wanting the cure. It takes Belos revealing he's going to execute Eda instead of curing her and Luz calling her out on her actions for Lilith to admit how badly she messed up.
** She briefly regresses to this in "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" and it's zigzagged; both of the Clawthorne sisters acknowledge that Gwendolyn's favoritism is unfair, and Eda doesn't want to be the center of her mother's attention since it means receiving multiple scam cures. On the other hand, Lilith doesn't acknowledge that Gwendolyn's favoritism spiked after Lilith cursed Eda because any parent would be frantic on learning their child became chronically ill on a random day.
* NoLoveForTheWicked: PlayedWith. She was TheDragon in Season 1, and she's later confirmed to be aromantic asexual, although this was only revealed after her HeelFaceTurn and her [[TookALevelInKindness kindness upgrade]].
* NotSoAboveItAll:
** In "Covention", she cheats on Amity's behalf in the latter's duel with Luz, correctly assuming Eda would do the same for Luz. When Eda exposes this, she gloats that Lilith has stooped to her level.
** When she loses her temper, Lilith behaves just as childishly and recklessly as her sister. In "Young Blood, Old Souls", when Eda (in her Owl Beast form) ends up BlowingARaspberry at Lilith, Lilith retorts that she's above that... then promptly engages in an EyelidPullTaunt.
** In "Separate Tides", she watches Hooty's battle with the fire-bees with childlike glee.
* ObliviouslyEvil: She really thinks that serving the Emperor's Coven is a good idea and ignores Eda's protests that Lilith is little more than an overpowered attack dog. After it was revealed that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda, in "Young Blood, Old Souls" it is elaborated that it was only meant to be a temporary spell that would have sabotaged Eda during their duel for a chance to be in the Emperor's Coven. The fact that it would be a permanent affliction that ruined Eda's life was a ''complete accident''.
* OddFriendship: After betraying the Emperor and moving into the Owl House, Lilith becomes buddies with Hooty, complete with {{Affectionate Nickname}}s.
* OhCrap: Lilith has a silent, horrified reaction when she loses her temper and blurts out that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda.
* OlderThanSheLooks: She looks and sounds like she could be in her twenties or thirties, but [[invoked]]WordOfGod has confirmed that she is in her mid-to-late forties. This contrasts her further with Edalyn, who is a couple of years her junior but [[YoungerThanSheLooks looks like she is at least well into her fifties]].
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Completely loses it when Eda scores the winning point in their grudgby match, thus winning their bet and costing Lilith the chance to bring Eda in peacefully. She lets out a BigNo when Eda is about to score, then breaks down (either in distress or outright ''fear'') at going back to Emperor Belos empty-handed, again. It got to the point Eda gave Lilith her ring so she could tell Belos she put up too much of a fight and hopefully be punished less severely.
* OutOfFocus: She's a main character for the first four episodes of Season 2 before leaving with her mother and vanishing for the rest of the season's first half--with "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty's Door" only having a voice over and a flashback. She returns in Season 2B, though.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: The commander of the Emperor's Coven is a powerful, versatile, resourceful, and (when [[BlindedByRage her temper does not get the best of her]]) cunning sorceress by any reasonable measure. She... [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter just isn't Eda]], [[TheResenter and never got over that fact]].
* ParentalNeglect: Suffered from this growing up, it wasn't done out of malice or anything, but Gwendolyn was so busy trying to cure Eda, and Lilith seemed so self-sufficient, that Gwendolyn ended up neglecting her in a lot of ways.
* PenPals: Lilith tells Hooty she’ll write to him in "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" when she leaves with her mother to reconnect with her parents. As of "Knock, Knock, Knocking on Hooty’s Door" one of these letters are shown, wherein Lilith gives him emotional support.
* PlayingWithFire: Like Eda, she's fond of fire magic, only [[TechnicolorFire blue instead of Eda's orange]].
* PragmaticVillainy: While she gladly puts Luz in danger to get Eda to transform into the Owl Beast, Lilith doesn't bother to attempt so again after the fight (though she does grab Owlbert, presumably for the Emperor to consume). She instead throws Luz to the other end of the bridge and tells her to go back to Earth.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: She's given a spot in Season 2's TitleSequence.
* PutOnABus: At the end of "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", she moves back in and leaves with her mother, Gwendolyn, in order to study the curse more as well as to finally do some much needed mother-daughter bonding.
* PsychologicalProjection: In "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", Lilith projects her issues with her mother onto King's absent father, telling King that he was no father for not being there when his son hatched, bumming King out.
* PungeonMaster: Develops a love for puns and similar wordplays in season 2, blaming it on Hooty's sense of humor affecting her.
-->'''Lilith:''' Whoever sent that letter was sending them on a wild ''Luz'' chase. ''[chuckles]''
* QueerColors: Post-curse, her eyes are green and grey, the colors of the aromantic flag.
* QueerEstablishingMoment: A VoiceoverLetter during the March 2022 charity livestream reveals that she's aromantic when she admits to Hooty that she's never felt attraction to anyone.
* RankScalesWithAsskicking: Lilith is the head of the prestigious Emperor's Coven and is able to go toe-to-toe with [[TheAce Eda]].
* RichesToRags: In season two, as a result of betraying Belos in the last season, Lilith has lost all of her former status, including her position as head of the Emperor's Coven, and now lives as a fugitive with her sister.
* SanitySlippage: It's implied that Emperor Belos is growing impatient with Lilith’s lack of progress while hunting her sister, and this is affecting her mentally. In "Wing it like Witches", her failure to win the Grudgby game (which would have resulted in Eda willingly turning herself in) has her suffer a massive break down, falling to her knees and striking the ground with her fists at the thought of going back to Emperor Belos empty-handed, again. Even after Eda gives her some "evidence" she put up too much a fight, the usually merciful Lilith who hoped Eda would willingly join the Emperor’s Coven says she’ll be returning with ''backup'', clearly making sure Eda knows she’s joining the Emperor's Coven, whether she wants to or not. The following episode has her lose it even more and it causes her to reveal that ''she'' cursed Eda.
* SapientEatSapient: In "Agony of a Witch", Lilith suffers a one-sided beatdown courtesy of Hooty that ends up with a tree falling on her. Disheveled and humiliated, she's recalled by Kikimora--who informs her that she has a bird on her head. The bird demon mockingly tells Lilith she's in trouble, and when next seen Lilith spits out a mouthful of feathers--implying she vented her anger on the bird demon by eating it. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]], since both owls and ravens are known to eat other ''birds''.
* SayingTooMuch: In "Agony of a Witch", after decades of keeping it secret, Lilith lets her temper get the better of her and blurts out that ''she'' was the one who cursed Eda when the two of them were children.
* SelfMadeWoman: In her speech at the Covention, she says that she came from "humble beginnings" and is now the head of the Emperor's Coven. The thing is though, she attempted to ''cheat'' her way in, and she only got in when Eda gave up.
* ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem:
** As a member of the Emperor's Coven, she's free from the normal PowerLimiter restrictions a Coven puts on a witch that limits them to the magical specialty of said Coven.
** As the ''leader'' of her Coven, she temporarily suspends Eda's status as a wanted criminal in "Covention" so Luz and Amity can duel.
** When two officers tell her they're ordered to send Luz-as-Eda to the Conformatorium, she burns the order and says, "The order is changed."
* ShipperOnDeck: The 2022 charity livestream reveals she's been supporting Luz and Amity after Hooty wrote about them in a letter to her, and she was happy to hear they finally got together. This is quite a big deal given that Amity wanted nothing to do with Lilith after her cheating stint.
* SiblingRivalry: Even besides being a magic authority and renegade, respectively, Lilith and Eda trade petty barbs and make constant attempts to one-up each other. It takes a darker turn when it’s revealed that she’s the one who cursed Eda so she could win their duel and join the Emperor's Coven, though she genuinely didn't realize how dangerous it truly was.
* SignificantWardrobeShift:
** A picture in "Wing It Like Witches" shows that as a student she used to have unruly bright red hair and wear glasses with no makeup. She stopped wearing glasses and adopted her signature straight black hair and jet black lipstick after joining the Emperor's Coven.
** In the second season, after leaving the Emperor's Coven, she is seen wearing a graphic tee (supposedly from the Human World) of a "low battery" symbol.
** In Season 2B, she wears a slightly more formal outfit consisting of a vest over a dress. She also goes back to wearing glasses while her hair is starting to become curly again.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lilith and Eda resemble each other with their pale skin, narrow chins, and long hair with side bangs. It's also revealed that the two both have naturally red hair.
* SuperMode: In "[[Recap/TheOwlHouseS3E3WatchingAndDreaming Watching and Dreaming]]", the DistantFinale reveals that Lilith managed to make a pact with her Raven-Beast, letting her transform into a Harpy form similar to Eda's.
* TeachersPet: Humorously turns out to be one when Luz starts teaching her rune magic, including getting excited when Luz praises her work and doing projects for "extra credit" in her free time. The fact that her teacher is a human teenager and her school is a shack in the woods doesn't seem to phase her.
* TechnicianVsPerformer: The technician compared to Eda's performer. Lilith is by far the more academic of the two sisters, but finds herself at a disadvantage in Season 1 because Eda has more raw power, and her intuitive style is less predictable. Being the technician has advantages in Season 2, however, because she takes the time to understand the basic principles of glyph magic, giving her a great deal more control over the results. While Eda comes up with the idea of combining glyphs to produce new effects, Lilith is the one who figures out how to actually make it work.
* TeenHater: In "Agony Of A Witch" when the Hexside students are visiting the Emperor’s Castle, she greets them by rolling her eyes and tells them "Good luck with puberty!" Plus, she hates the Golden Guard with a passion because he's such a brat.
* ThisIsSomethingHesGotToDoHimself: In "Separate Tides", Lilith insists on collecting the ingredients for the scrying potion herself even though her magic is too weak to do so because she wants to prove she can do it without help, and to make up for what she did to her sister.
* TookALevelInKindness: After turning on Belos and reconciling with her mother, Lilith becomes a rather endearing dork and an aunt figure for Luz.
* TreacheryIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Towards the end of Season 1, Luz was ''livid'' that Lilith betrayed her own sister and lied about it, and vows to let Lilith have it when she sees her again.
* TsurimeEyes: She has noticeably sharp eyes, giving her a refined and serious look in contrast to Eda. After mellowing out in season two, her eyes become more rounded.
* UnevenHybrid: It's implied that Caleb Wittebane was an ancestor of the Clawthorne family, therefore making her, her sister Eda, and their father Dell all part human (by a very small percentage, given that Caleb died around 300 years before either of the sisters were born). This is confirmed in the final Post Hoot.
* UnexplainedRecovery: Unlike every other member of the coven system, Lilith does not appear to have a coven sigil, being able to move and act freely immediately after the draining spell ends while everyone who ''were'' drained are still knocked out. [[invoked]][[WordOfGod According to Dana]], they had intended to include a line about Lilith's brand being removed as a result of her exile from the Emperor's Coven, but it slipped their mind and didn't make it in, making it ultimately unclear how Lilith avoided the fate of every other witch on the isles (though a castmember suggests that it might just be because [[EvilIsPetty Belos hates her]]).
* TheUnfavourite: Downplayed. Gwendolyn favored lavishing attention on Eda, a trait that intensified significantly after Eda was cursed, to the point of regularly visiting Eda for the last thirty years while never doing the same for Lilith. However, Gwendolyn fixates on Eda out of concern for her curse and legitimately thought Lilith was independent enough to not need the attention. By the end of "Keeping Up A-fear-ances", Gwendolyn makes it very clear that she loves and cares about both her daughters, and regrets not noticing how her distance hurt Lilith as well.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom:
** Thanks to Lilith cursing Eda, she indirectly caused her family to become broken. Season 2 flashbacks reveal that a cursed Eda accidentally slashed out her father's eye and immobilized his dominant arm when he tried surprising the girls with fireworks, while their mother tried to find a cure for her younger daughter. Gwendolyn wanting to cut out Eda's bile sac and operate on it motivated Eda to run away and become estranged, as their mother kept chasing scam cures when a medical witch told them the elixir is a temporary remedy. Raine also broke up with Eda because Eda was scared to tell her about the curse after what she did to Mr. Clawthorne. In the present at least, both Lilith and Gwendolyn take the first step towards reconciliation.
** "Elsewhere and Elsewhen" also reveals that a good portion of Belos's hatred of wild magic came from Luz and Lilith outsmarting him, and that the shape of his nose came from Lilith punching him in the face as Philip Wittebane.
* VagueAge: She's Eda's similarly-aged sister, but looks like she's in her prime. "Sense and Insensitivity" reveals that Eda [[YoungerThanTheyLook seems older]] than her sister due to the effects of the curse she suffers from. [[invoked]]WordOfGod states that Lilith and Eda are in their mid-to-late forties, with Lilith a couple of years older.
* WalkingSpoiler: She is heavily tied to one of the biggest reveals in Season 1.
* WellDoneDaughterGal: "Keeping Up A-fear-ances" reveals that their mother Gwendolyn, particularly after Eda was cursed, spent all of her time with Eda instead of Lilith, and it seems highly likely that much of Lilith's drive to succeed was to try and get her mother's attention. When she learns that Gwendolyn has been visiting Eda regularly, when she didn't even attend Lilith being accepted into the Emperor's Coven, the negative emotions triggers her cursed form.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Where her season one actions ultimately fall, as she is determined to cure Eda's curse via getting Eda to join the Emperor's coven, by force if need be. She genuinely believes Emperor Belos' promise to cure Eda is the only possible way to do so, and truly wants to cure Eda of the curse that Lilith never intended to last more than a day before it becomes permanent. To achieve that goal, she bends the law she's supposed to uphold, nearly brands an innocent bystander who's just in Eda's body at the moment, leads an armed raid on her sister's home, and eventually threatened Luz to force Eda's hand.
* WhamLine: In "Agony of a Witch":
-->'''Lilith:''' ''"Then WHY were you so easy to curse?!"''
* WhatYouAreInTheDark:
** She failed this big time. When she and Eda were children, they were obligated to duel for the one open spot in the Emperor's Coven. Rather than talk with Eda about it, Lilith found a curse and cast it on her sister while she was sleeping. The next day, Eda immediately forfeited the duel so Lilith could fulfill her dream, only for the curse to activate and cause everyone to ostracize Eda. Rather than confessing and apologizing to Eda (and lacking the power to lift the curse herself), Lilith doubled down and became obsessed with ingratiating herself to Belos in hopes that he would cure Eda's curse. "Young Blood, Old Souls" has her finally overcoming this when she discovers that Belos [[ILied had no intention of lifting the curse]]. Realizing that her efforts to fully cure it were AllForNothing, she instead chooses to share Eda's curse, acknowledging that she ought to have done so years ago.
** To a lesser extent, while Gwendolyn was up to her ears trying to find a cure for Eda, Lilith never told her that the curse came from the Night Market, both out of resentment that Gwendolyn was more worried about her sick child than her healthy, seemingly self-sufficient older daughter and wallowing in guilt that it was her fault Eda's in this mess. When she finally does come clean, Gwendolyn takes it well if regretting that they both spent years barking up the wrong trees to find a solution for Eda's dilemma.
* {{Womanchild}}: Despite being the "older, responsible" sibling, she has various bouts of immaturity and would regularly [[NotSoAboveItAll throw tantrums, retaliate and act out]] whenever Eda gets one over her. While learning glyphs from Luz, Lilith acts like an excitable schoolchild, calling Luz "Miss Teacher" and generally behaving like a TeachersPet.
* WouldHurtAChild: She puts Luz in mortal danger in order to get Eda to exert her magical power and hasten her curse in "Agony of a Witch".
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: She tells Hooty this via letter in "Knock, Knock, Knockin' on Hooty's Door", pointing that as the Owl House himself, he takes care of all those within him.

!!Kikimora
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MelaLee
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ms_kiki.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"You heard Terra. They want to promote me! ''Me''!"'']]
->''"This could be my last chance to show Belos what I can do, and I just know that brat Golden Guard will try to spoil it."''
The Emperor's personal attendant, making her a high-ranking member of his coven and a part of his inner circle.
----
* AffectionateNickname: She is sometimes called "Kiki", but whether or not it's affectionate depends on the person in question. Lilith used the nickname rather dismissively when we first hear it, which subverts the affectionate part. Later on, it's played straight when Belos refers to her as "Kiki" after reassuring her that [[spoiler:there will be no need to hunt Eda and co. down since Belos has the portal door now.]]
* AlienHair: Has what looks like clawed hands emulating hair; an open palm grasping her head for bangs and a clinched fist directly attached to it loosely resembling a bun. Unsurprisingly, they're revealed to be fully functional and can be used to activate spells like any other pair of hands.
* AllForNothing: [[spoiler:Her promotion from "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" means that she gets to live, meaning that her going for it instead of making it to her family reunion means she's banned for life. Then comes "King's Tide" in which she makes one last attempt at impressing Belos to get back into his coven. Belos just tells her to go rot.]]
* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: She's seen taking part in building an extension on Hexside under Matt Tholomule in the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue, but it's not made clear if its a case of DefeatMeansMenialLabor or if she had a legitimate change of heart in the intervening years]].
* BadBoss: She couldn't care less about what happens to the coven guards under her command as long they serve to get her greater favor from Emperor Belos. Even when informed that the tunnels they were digging through were unstable, her response for them to dig faster while she stood at a safe distance. She even made poor Steve jump over a crevice just because.
* TheBeastmaster: She'd shown some Beast Keeping talents as she owns and controls what can only be called a [[DraconicAbomination dragon made of hands]]! It seems she keeps it a secret from the rest of the Emperor's Coven as [[spoiler:the Golden Guard had no idea where it came from until Luz informed him Kikimora was the creature's master]].
* BigBadWannabe:
** More like TheDragon Wannabe. Kikimora is, above all else, wracked with delusions of being much more important to [[BigBad Emperor Belos]] and his schemes than she really is. While she's a modestly high-ranked member of the Emperor's Coven, she's still ultimately barely a step above a henchman but acts as if she's his right hand agent. This is likely why she has such a vendetta against Hunter the Golden Guard, Belos's ''actual'' right hand man, to the point that she tries to kill him multiple times. In "Clouds on the Horizon", after she's been demoted and [[spoiler:Hunter has defected]], she even brags to his face about how Belos might make her the new Golden Guard after [[spoiler:she turns him in]], and outright asks Belos if he's in need of a new right hand when she [[spoiler:delivers Hunter (actually Luz in disguise) to him]].
** [[spoiler:She becomes a straight example of this trope in "For the Future", in which she poses as Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] and then betrays her in an attempt to take advantage of the chaos caused by The Collector's takeover. She even rants about "starting [her] own empire". Of course, she's still absolutely nothing of a threat compared to the Collector or Belos.]]
* BodyMotifs: Hands. Her bangs resemble a clawed hand and her bun resembles a clenched fist, and she commands a dragon-centipede creature made up of hands and fingers. And of course, her primary motivation is to become Belos' [[StealthPun right hand man]].
* BosssUnfavoriteEmployee: "King's Tide" finally reveals what Belos thinks of her. [[spoiler:After delivering who she thinks is Hunter to him and asking to be his right hand, Belos insults her to her face and tells her to go wither and die. While Belos hates all witches and demons, clearly, he especially never liked her in the first place.]]
* ButtMonkey: Especially in Season 2 nothing seems to go right for her. She's suffering from SanitySlippage, gets defeated on a regular basis by Luz with or without help, and worse, in her most recent appearance, [[spoiler:not only does she get easily tricked by Terra Snapdragon due to being SuperGullible, but that also means that she's banished from her home of Palm Stings ''for life'' due to not attending a family reunion. Not to mention that she later got demoted for her repeated failures, leading the division of the Emperor's Coven that handles the transport of Abomatons. She does get a bone thrown when Odalia reveals the Abomatron, allowing her to overpower and kidnap Luz, but she initially thought that it was [[SitcomArchNemesis Hunter]] and was aiming for him specifically. Then in "King's Tide", Belos makes clear that he has no appreciation for her loyalty or work at all and tells her to go die in a hole.]]
* ChekhovsHobby: In "Hunting Palismen", she secretly listens in on Belos' private discussion with Hunter, which leads her to sabotage Hunter's mission. [[spoiler: "King's Tide" shows that listening to Belos' private meetings is a regular occurrence for her, meaning she knows about the Collector and is able to guide King to them.]]
* CorruptBureaucrat: Kikimora is more of a politician within the Emperor's Coven who handles all state affairs, but she feels threatened by the Emperor's favor towards the Golden Guard, [[spoiler:so much so that she attempts to assassinate him.]]
* CreativeSterility: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", Luz lampshades how what she's doing at Hexside is basically just the same as what Belos did; fearmongering to gain power, showing that she doesn't have the brains to bother to come up with an original plan.]]
* CuteIsEvil: Her small stature, high voice, mostly obscured face, and LaughablyEvil tendencies all combine to make Kikimora seem like a cute individual. Her adorable appearance contrasts with her ambitious and ruthless personality. Perhaps best seen in the opening credits of Season 2 where Lilith and the Golden Guard start off looking imposing while Kiki looks shy, only for the next images of them show Lilith and the Golden Guard looking more vulnerable while Kikimora [[NightmareFace looks deranged]].
* DefeatMeansMenialLabor: Possibly. [[spoiler:At the end of "Watching And Dreaming", she's seen helping with the construction of a new museum wing of the library with Matt and Lilith, though it's unknown if she's doing it as punishment or out of a change of heart.]]
* DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", no matter how much Matt's suggestions make sense, she just shoots them down, being more interested in her own power-base than forming a functioning community.]]
* {{Determinator}}: [[spoiler: Attention isn't drawn to it but she seems to have a surprising amount of willpower as when the draining spell is activated, most of the other demons and witches are left completely incapacitated, including the coven heads, yet she's still able to move and talk enough to help King by leading him to the Collector's mirror so she can stick it to Belos]].
* DirtyCoward: When [[spoiler:Luz threatens her with a fire spell, she ''immediately'', without a second of hesitation, frees Eda, King, and Lilith.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:Her loyalty to the Emperor finally expends itself when Belos tells him, upfront, that the best she could ever do to win his favor is to "find a hole to wither away in." After that, she helps King stop him, out of nothing more than an urge to see him paid back for his treachery.]]
* DragonInChief: [[spoiler:In "For The Future", she takes the role of Boscha's [[TheDragon dragon]] in the ruins of Hexside, but her position as chief advisor essentially makes her the one in charge as she manipulates Boscha into consolidating power and vetoing efforts to reform their living conditions. It's made abundantly clear that Boscha is just a pawn, and Kikimora inevitably plans to double-cross her to start her own empire]].
* DragonRider: Thanks to her pet, [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon.]]
* EnemyMine: [[spoiler:After being cast aside by Belos despite everything she's done to earn his favor, Kikimora decides to help King release the Collector from his prison so he can stop the Draining Spell, all so she can get revenge on Belos.]]
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Kikimora is seen calling her mother during "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" and it's clear she wants to please her, to the point of bawling her eyes out over her mother threatening her with banishment from her home of Palm Stings if Kikimora choose work over attending a family reunion. Luz is moved enough to see the similarities with her own mom. [[spoiler:Ultimately zigzagged as when given the choice between the family reunion and getting a promotion, she chooses the promotion and says, "Palm Stings can burn for all I care!"]]
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: In "Follies at the Coven Day Parade", she is crestfallen that she has to skip out on a family reunion to attend the parade and is brought to tears when she tells Luz her mother's threatened her with banishment if she doesn't come home. Downplayed by the end, as she deems her career to be be more important than her family, choosing not to go to the reunion when she hears she's getting a promotion. But, considering her reward from that was being allowed to live, she wonders if it was worth getting banished from her family.
* EvilIsPetty: [[spoiler:In "For the Future", she takes particular pleasure in both mocking and attacking Luz, despite Luz barely doing anything to her at all.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: Kikimora has always been walked all over by others. She finally proves everyone wrong about that in Season 3.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: Even in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" she laments that she's been reduced from the Emperor's personal attendant to a "glorified party planner." As of "Clouds on the Horizon" [[spoiler:her constant failures have her demoted to a delivery driver for the Emperor's Coven.]] As of the epilogue of "Watching and Dreaming" [[spoiler:her current job is now in construction and is seen working on the additions to the library.]]
* FamilyVersusCareer: Her conflict in "Follies at the Coven Day Parade" is that her mother wants her at a reunion, but the Emperor's Coven wants her in the parade and she can't get out of it. [[spoiler:Despite Luz going through with a plan to fake her kidnapping so she'll be able to do both, she decides firmly on "career" when she hears Terra talking about a "promotion" for her, even attacking Luz. And of course, her "promotion" is just that she ''gets to live''.]]
* FangsAreEvil: Though her mouth is usually hidden, when she blows on a whistle to summon [[spoiler:the Hand-Dragon]] it's revealed she sports boar-like tusks, though they come across more like CuteLittleFangs.
* FatalFlaw: [[GreenEyedMonster Envy]] combined with {{ambition|is evil}}. She's super jealous of the Golden Guard and will do anything to become the Emperor's right hand woman. [[spoiler:She also jumps at the chance for a political promotion despite it being an obvious ruse showing how see-through her ambition is, which ends up costing her family's love. By the epilogue, Kikimora ends up as a lowly employee being bossed around by Matt Tholomule.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Can speak in a calm and grandmotherly fashion, but it's usually laced with condescension, at best.
* GreenEyedMonster: She is starkly envious of the Golden Guard's closeness to the Emperor and she [[spoiler:arranges for him to be killed.]] Also seemed to be the case with Lilith as well.
* HateSink: Cowardly? Check. Sleazy? Check. Arrogant? Check. Self-righteous? Check. Petty? Check. [[spoiler:A backstabber who's perfectly willing to kill a child whether they're on her side or not? Check. Being aware of what the Day of Unity will actually entail and not caring one bit about others for her own gain out of a deluded belief that Belos would spare her?]] Check. From all of the aforementioned negative traits Kikimora has, it is safe to say we're not supposed to enjoy her screen time. After other villains get more positive traits or outright defect in Season 2 she comes to share this role with Odalia, [[spoiler:who not only willingly allows the Emperor's genocide to happen but thinks her family's social status will be elevated in exchange for her loyalty. Kikimora on the other hand is fairly humbler in her desires and thinking by comparison. She seems open to the possibility she will die in the process, so she'll at least take the satisfaction knowing she'll stick it to Hunter before the Day of Unity happens, and she thinks she'll be rewarded and enjoy it before she dies. On top of that, she’s at least willing to admit when she’s wrong, and accepted her punishment with dignity]].
* HeightAngst: It's implied her short stature may be a sore-spot for her given that she rides on Abomaton 2.0s to be literally above her underlings and her first reaction to [[spoiler:piloting the Abomatron]] is joy that "[she's] taller than everyone!"
* HighCollarOfDoom: A rare instance where the collar actually obscures most of her face, making her mouth rarely visible.
* HumblePie: [[spoiler:Kikimora spent all of Season 2 trying to win the Emperor's favor, and kill Hunter. Between being disowned by her own family, and being told to go find a hole to wither in after failing ''again'', she's completely broken from all of it, but it has granted her enough perspective and is forced to accept Belos isn't the man she thought he was, and she's quite somber when spilling her secrets. For the first time, she’s willing to admit she’s wrong. After coming to terms with this, she gives King, the last Titan, the opportunity to release the Collector in order to give Belos the middle finger on his plans if he so chooses, her own life be damned since she's about to die anyways. Tellingly by the end of Season 3, Kikimora ends up accepting her punishment to serve in the library without protest]].
