Lilith

"Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream. But, Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power."

- Charlie, reading the Story of Hell

Lilith is the Queen of Hell and a minor character in Hazbin Hotel. She is the mother of Charlie and the estranged wife of Lucifer Morningstar.

Lilith was the first human woman created by the angels and was cast into Hell along with Lucifer as punishment for corrupting humanity. Together, the two ruled Hell with Charlie until seven years prior to the events of the show, as revealed in "Overture". Lilith has been absent ever since, not responding to Charlie's calls.

In "The Show Must Go On", it is revealed that she somehow gained access to Heaven, but following Adam's death, Lute threatened to kick her out if she didn't stop Charlie's plans.

Appearance
Lilith is a tall, beautiful, hourglass-figured demon with very pale lilac skin. Her height exceeds both her husband and daughter, standing over 6-and-a-half feet tall. Her eyes have light violet irises and long thick eyelashes, and she sports sparkling-plum eyeshadow and dark magenta lipstick.

She has very long blonde hair with thick honey-colored streaks. Her hair perpetually flows in the air, even when she isn't moving. Lilith is seen with a pair of large, magenta-colored horns which noticeably differ depending on the scenario, due to her having the ability to change the shape of her horns at will.

In a family portrait, Lilith is seen wearing an extravagant golden tiara adorned with small red jewels, a white pearl choker around her neck, and a sparkling dark magenta mesh dress with a sweetheart neckline and a set of matching opera gloves covering most of her hands and arms.

Personality
While little is known about Lilith's personality, the story of Hell suggests that she is rebellious toward authority, as she rejected Adam's control and degradation. She can also be loving, as she fell in love with Lucifer Morningstar, together having a daughter, Charlie. She was depicted as being a loving mother to Charlie, deeply connected to her family.

However, the revelation that she had been staying in Heaven for the previous seven years has put her personality and true feelings towards her family and Hell itself into question, as she apparently made a deal with Adam to stay there, seemingly relaxing on her lonesome on a beach.

Trivia

 * The name "Lilith" translates to "night-bird", "screech owl", "night hag" or "night-spectre" from Hebrew text.
 * Lilith shares her name with the, who is cited as having been "banished" from the Garden of Eden for not complying and obeying Adam. "Overture" confirms that she is indeed the same figure.
 * When asked if the Eden family have some connection to the royal family as well, Vivziepop declined to answer one way or the other.
 * In mythology, Lilith is supposedly the primordial she-demon or the original succubus, however, it is unknown if this trait is canon in Hazbin Hotel. As Succubi are a species in the Hellaverse's depiction of Hell, it is not clear if Lilith herself is connected to them.
 * Faustisse briefly mentioned that Vivziepop was not planning for Charlie to be a succubus through her mother either way.
 * According to Faustisse, Lilith and Charlie, alongside Alastor, are fans of pineapple on pizza.
 * Faustisse has suggested that she is somewhat good with children.
 * Lilith disappeared seven years prior to the series for reasons unknown, never responding to any of her daughter's attempts to call her. Curiously, she was missing the same amount of years as Alastor.
 * Lilith was later revealed to be in Heaven in "The Show Must Go On". Although the exact reasons remain unknown, it was heavily alluded to that she had made a deal with Adam at some point.

Development

 * When asked about what Lilith was like, Faustisse has described Lilith as graceful, regal, and politically charged. Lilith is someone who is exceptionally equanimous.
 * Faustisse has suggested that Lilith is a former cabaret dancer. It was also mentioned that, like her family, Lilith loves music, as evidenced by her career as a singer in Hell, as well as the fact that Vivziepop's headcanon voice for her is Lady Gaga.
 * When asked about Lilith and Lucifer's dynamic, Faustisse believed their relationship could be summed up with the phrase, "Behind every man is a greater woman", and that they love each other very much. They describe Lilith and Lucifer as "passionate, cheesy lovers".
 * They are of the opinion that Lilith "wears the pants" in her family, but they think both Lilith and Lucifer are switches within their intimate life.
 * When asked about Lilith's powers, Faustisse declined to answer, citing possible spoilers for the main series. They did, however, state that they did not think Lilith had wings like Charlie and Lucifer, although saw no reason why she wouldn't be able to manifest them if she wished.
 * According to Faustisse, Lilith can change the shape of her horns, but it's unlikely this will be shown in practice in the series as it would apparently be difficult to show that kind of constant change over consecutive scenes. This has, however, been depicted in static illustrations shown in the background of the Hazbin Hotel pilot. On the walls of the Happy Hotel are some family portraits, as well as posters of Lilith, where she is featured possessing more ram-like horns, as opposed to the horns of her default model.
 * According to Vivziepop, Lilith is the "big, slow burn mystery" of the show, adding that we are going to slowly start getting answers over the course of the "next couple seasons", and that season two gives some more pieces to it.
 * Faustisse estimated her to be approximately 6 feet and 4-6 inches (193-198 centimeters) tall.
