Lilaena De'Ville, first known as Lady DeVille, has gone through a few different evolutions. Pre-reset she was a powerful Dark Jedi, conflicted by motherhood and a failed marriage, struggling to control her own life. Post-reset Lilaena is again a darksider, but without the soft edges provided by her maternal instinct.
Post-Reset
A'na Eldhil never told Lilaena that she was not a true Jedi. The girl grew up believing that she followed the Jedi ways, having been indoctrinated by her master that her new methods were a better way of reaching the Force. This confused attitude towards the Jedi teachings taints everything she does, as Lilaena uses the Dark Side of the Force, not the Light.
Expanded History
Pre-Reset
This bio is taken from the first ezboard account for the character Lady DeVille.
Born on the Imperial homeworld of Coruscant, my life started out fairly normal. Then my parents were executed for being Rebel sympathizers and I (with no living relatives) was taken to the Imperial Orphanage.
I was raised there under harsh rules and harsher discipline for seven years. When my fourteenth birthday rolled around I was lucky enough to find a way to escape - and so I did. Luck, however, had less to do with it than I thought. I escaped to the lower level of Coruscant where I lived for some time. I ate whatever I could find, and stayed away from the infrequent stormtrooper patrols. Travelling on the upper levels was very risky, so I didn't do it often. However, a raid on an illegal lower level sabbac bar brought unwelcome stormtrooper eye's on me. And I was conscripted into the Imperial Army at the age of sixteen.
They shaved off my waist length brown/red hair and burned my few possessions. Once again in the Empire's grasp, I despaired of living my own life, or being able to choose my own destiny. I was trained as a pilot and was soon capable of flying anything and everything: from freighters to TIES. Too soon, in fact. I caught the attention of my superiors because of the speed of my learning. There is no such thing as luck. I was found to be highly Force sensitive and was shipped out to a secret dark Jedi training facility - one of Palpatine's pet projects. There I was to be trained as a weapon for the Empire to use whenever and wherever they needed me. I hated being there, and my fellow students hated me for being there.
I was trained in telekinesis and a few other rudimentary Force abilities. I earned my master's trust after only a few months, and was assigned to pilot a fellow trainee to an orbiting Star Destroyer. I don't remember his name, but he had been at the facility for more than a year, and was very highly regarded among the others. Force adept or no, I slit his throat, ejected his body into space, and took off with the shuttle. I got as far as the scummy moon Nal Hutta before I was apprehended and a TIE Interceptor shot me down.
Stranded on the bounty hunters' moon, it was simple to hide. Hard to survive. It became much harder to survive once the Empire put a price on my head. They couldn't afford to let me live, I knew too much. But using the training from the Imperials and my unashamed good looks I was able to get a position as a notable Hutt's bodyguard. However, after a few months he double-crossed me, that frog-eating pile of steaming bantha dung! As soon as he found out there was a bounty on my head he tried to return me to the Empire.
A few dead stormtroopers (and one dead Hutt) later, I found myself in the pilot seat of a very badly damaged Headhunter, a parsec ahead of screaming TIES and fighting for hyperspace. I managed to get the ship into hyperspace, only to have the hyperdrive completely blow out a few minutes later. I lost hyperspace between stars - smack in the middle of nothing. With nothing but my pride and anger to feed on I was slowly starving to death when another ship dropped out of hyperspace nearly on top of me.
It was Sith Lordess Live Wire, and she saved my life. She also introduced me to the Sith Council, where my need for a family and a sense of belonging was satisfied. Be that as it may, soon after being apprenticed to Mistress Live Wire and starting my training, the Sith Council could no longer hold together. Mistress Live Wire defected to form the Sith Order with several other Sith Lords and Lordesses. I followed - I still have much to learn…
The biography explained how the character ended up at The Sith Council, though before she could become an active member TSC imploded and the remaining members re-named the group The Sith Order. However, in a later roleplay, In The Service Of, Lilaena maintained that the Hutt she had worked for on Nal Hutta had been a female, not male as it appears in this early bio. Hutts are asexual and can change their sex in order to procreate, so it is possible that both are true.
Expanded History
Together with fellow TSOers Live Wire and Lady Vader, the three Dark Side women became well known around the SWFans universe. If there was one thing that they had in common, besides their thirst for power and knowledge of the Help:Force, it was a knack for hopeless relationships. Lilaena became involved with an ImpIntel agent named Pierce Tondry. She also continued her training under the harsh Sith Jedah Lynch, hoping to become worthy of the title Sith Master.
Growing dissatisfied with the way things were run at The Sith Order, Lilaena decided that the best thing for the Order, and for herself, would be for Council system to be re-worked. Intending to set herself up as the head of a triumvirate, Lilaena gathered co-conspirators from the Order to back her daring plan. Dark Lord Dyzm, Lord Dagger, and Darth Roul seemed to agree with the Knight that changes needed to happen. They plotted to overthrow the Council, leaving a much smaller staff of three at the top: Lilaena De'Ville, Darth Roul, and Dark Lord Dyzm. Lord Dagger counseled her that she would most certainly have all the power, as Roul and Dyzm could never agree on anything. With the deciding vote, the fate of The Sith Order would be in her capable hands.
In a shocking turn of events, even as Lilaena announced to the Order that she was dissolving the Council, Lady Vader turned the tables on her. Darth Roul was twice a traitor, having sold out the conspirators to the Council. Dark Lord Dyzm was beheaded and Lord Dagger was also killed. Lilaena was exiled, left in the hands of the Dark Jedi Jeseth Cloak and a mysterious apprentice.
While in the custody of Jeseth Cloak, Lilaena underwent a painful miscarriage. Apparently her casual relationship with Pierce Tondry had born fruit, only to be aborted by the rough treatment she'd received when TSO banished her. Unbeknownst at the time, Lilaena was carrying twins... and the second child survived. Arriving on the harsh planet Vjun, Lilaena was inducted into The Black Hand.
Out of Character
Lilaena De'Ville is currently an adminstrator at SWFans. Her real name is Holly and she is from the United States. She found her way to SWFans on July 24, 2000, through the Crazy Ass Message Boards on ezboard, where her brother, Banestone, and Itala Marzullo were members. Convinced to join The Sith Council as a darkside character, she signed up as Lady DeVille. Incidentally the last name was a suggestion by the Emperor of TSC, Itala himself. She has always gone by the nickname LD.
Lilaena was promoted to roleplaying moderator on October 14, 2002, and then to board administrator in late 2005.
