Lily Artemis II an engineer from the 5th Airborne Squad sent to Earth on an earlier expedition, Lily is separated from her unit during its descent to the planet’s surface.
She survives, lying low until she picks up EVE’s signal.
A loyal, skilled technician, Lily commits to helping EVE with her mission to destroy the Elder Naytiba, putting her talent to good use upgrading EVE’s equipment as she progresses deeper into her mission.
First debuted in the Stellar Blade Story Trailer, where she is seen working alongside EVE. She is a part of the same organization as EVE, given the identical logos and similar naming convention of a double-digit number with a leading zero being visible throughout both of their attire. She seems to be very devoted to Mother Sphere, as she is seen speaking out very vocally when one of the other newly introduced characters questions its validity.
Biography[]
"Lily Artemis II is an engineering supporter of the 5th Airborne Squad. Although she is a bit small, she is a fully grown individual, and an official member of the Airborne Squad. Due to inaccurate coordinates, she was dropped to an isolated place and was forced to wait for another squad to rescue her.
As her title suggests, she is skilled at maintaining bodies and equipment of Airborne Squads, and can use almost all Earth technology without any hassle. The perfect supporter, her only flaws are that she is a bit snobbish and speaks strangely sometimes.
Lily was trapped in Eidos 9 with her sister-in-arms, Iberis, who had sustained damage to her Body Cell and died. After revisiting the Atelier and retrieving Iberis' Memorystick, Lily became fully committed to the mission.
Equipped with the Providence, the Colony's combat exosuit, Lily enters the final battle with EVE. What does Lily's fate have in store for her?"
Lily arrived on the planet seemingly two years before EVE did and wandered the world aimlessly, separated from her Squad. About a year later, she discovers the crash site of Iberis, her fellow 5th Airborne Squad member. Unfortunately, the damage to Iberis' Body Cell was lethal and she died soon after being found. Lily then kept Iberis' body and Memorystick in Eidos 9's Atelier, where she established a workshop. It is unknown how or when Lily got trapped in the pod at the Crater, but she was most likely hiding from Gigas who was in the area while she was tracking EVE's signal, who was conveniently looking for the same Alpha Naytiba. Whether the pod at the Crater was Lily's, Iberis' or something else's is not explicitly stated.
Characteristics[]
Personality[]
Lily has a chipper, happy-go-lucky attitude and wears her heart on her sleeve. She tends to be the one to keep things positive and try to make other characters in the game feel better, whether it's by making jokes or just playing moral support. She bickers with Adam but looks up to EVE as somewhat of a sister figure. However, her somewhat naïve nature and devotion to Mother Sphere make the various truths that are revealed throughout the game hard for her to swallow, as she often goes through denial when confronted.
Due to Mother Sphere's influence and lies, Lily believes that the Andro-Eidos are humans because they are a perfect combination of organic and machinery, claiming that having just the former would make one incomplete. Still, she attempts to ask, even beg EVE, to affirm that she and all others from the Colony are humans. Denying that Mother Sphere was the cause of the Earth's devastation and blaming the Naytibas for it all. Having a grudge that because of the Naytiba, she and all the others were forced to live in space. While Lily still holds the belief that she is human, disregarding Raven's words alongside Adam's, the testimony of Orcal and the evidence has caused her to doubt Mother Sphere and hold questions to ask her.
Appearance[]
Lily is a young adult with brown hair in a short bob hairstyle, multi-colored eyes, and freckles. She has a gold and black color scheme and wears a bodycon-style leotard under cargo pants along with a cutout hoodie and a bra over the leotard.
Customizable options for her include a raincoat and oversized hoodie
Powers and Abilities[]
Unlike EVE and other Airborne Squad units, Lily does not have any notable physical strengths. Rather, her specialties lie with playing support, whether that's with manning and operating on machinery like drones, the Tetrapod, and Colony exoskeletons or fixing and maintaining her fellow Airborne Squad members' exospines.
Affinity[]
After finding Lily in Eidos 7 following the defeat of Gigas, EVE can gradually boost her affinity with her throughout the game. Affinity is increased by either finding Memorysticks that hold information regarding Mother Sphere, completing certain side missions that involve Lily, or by reaching certain points in the main story. Upon reaching 100% affinity with Lily, the secret area Eidos 9 will be unlocked, and will allow access to the “Making New Memories” ending.
Trivia[]
- Lily’s name could be a possible reference to Lilith, a figure in Mesopotamian and Jewish mythology who is theorized to be the first wife of Adam in the Bible. Her last name, Artemis, comes from the Greek goddess of the hunt and the wild.
- Her death is optional through achieving the "Cost of Lost Memories" ending. This happens if EVE fuses with Adam, but does not reach 100% affinity with Lily.
- Lily's appearance is likely inspired by Nagase Reiko from the Ridge Racer series.
