Sash Lilac, who is commonly known as Lilac, is a water dragon of unknown origins, believed to be the last in existence. She is known for her unique fighting style of cutting through foes with her twin ponytails. At a young age, she was trained by the Red Scarves, a underground guild of thieves and assassins. This is where she met Carol, who she became best friends with after having a brief rivalry with her. With Spade, another member of the Red Scarves, they participated in martial arts tournaments to earn the prize money. However, in order to find her place in life, Lilac, along with Carol, left the Scarves to live independently. Since then, they've been living in a treehouse hidden deep in the forests of Dragon Valley, stealing from the rich, since her past affiliations made it difficult to find any other means of survival. Although she has grown more reserved throughout her battles, she still has a big heart and will jump at the chance to help her friends.

Appearance
Lilac is a young Water Dragon, tall like a normal human. She has lilac skin, Purple/Crimson eyes, Violet Hair with twin ponytails that are hard like ropes, a small furry tail and two long horns with sharp tips. Lilac also possesses an athlectic build, having well toned up muscles for her age and species. She wears a Chinese vest consisting of a Blue leotard, a white yukata, a red sash with a golden string and a flower knot tied to it, Blue gloves, white bracers with red details and Blue boots with pegasus like details. Lilac's earpieces are hearing aids. She has fish fin-like ears underneath them, but a genetic defect renders them useless and she's extremely hard-of-hearing if not deaf without her earpieces. Lilac wears another outfits as well. See the Slideshow Gallery on the side to see some of them.

Personality
Lilac is a good-spirited, spunky dragon girl and is more then willing to help those in trouble or in need. She is very motivated and refuses to give up under any circumstances, even when the rest of the team doubts the success of their mission. She's also very confident about herself, but never underestimating or belittling the others. She cares deeply about the safety of everyone and the mission, putting herself "in the front lines" and her friends above herself. She also seem to have a strong chinese behavior. Lilac can get very angry, but only when pushed to the extreme. When very angry (though very rare), she's uncontrollable and won't stop until get what she wants, even revenge, giving a reason for why sometimes she refers herself as Dragon in the third person.

Besides all of that, she's kind, friendly and try to be always in a good mood to influence the others to smile as well, even being silly sometimes if necessary.

Innate Abilities
Dragon Physiology: Believed to be the last water type dragon, Lilac is a half-dragon and has the abilities and physiology of a pure-breed dragon.
 * Supernatural Speed: She can move, think, and re-act at supernatural speeds. Lilac can move faster than gunfire, out-pace Brevon's most powerful robots, and even dodge multiple blasts from enemy fighters. Lilac is well known for her speed, and reach half of the speed of sound with a single Dragon Boost. She is faster than Carol on her motorcycle and can even catch up to an enemy ship taking flight. However, she's not able to outpace 1.2 Ma (1468 Km/h the Super Sonic Speed) alone, being necessary an external impulse or a slingshot move to be super sonic.
 * Supernatural Strength: As result of her super speed, Lilac can use of it to crash through metal, wood and stone with relative ease. She can also physically overpower robots that could smash an ordinary creature, as well physically defeat Brevon.
 * Supernatural Endurance: For such speed, Lilac needs to be resistant, and her body is naturally adapted for such repetitive movements, intense physical activity and for longer time without fatigue herself. It's very difficult to defeat her by tiring her out.
 * Supernatural Durability: She is vastly resistant to physical damage. She can survive falls from great heights, intense pressure, strikes from beings with superhuman strength, energy blasts, and extreme heat without sustaining injury. However, she is not invulnerable, and sustained extreme damage while being tortured by Brevon.
 * Mid-Air Dash: Lilac can preform a high-speed dash in mid-air without the aid of a vehicle. She can use this for short-distance flight at high speeds.
 * Hair Manipulation: Lilac has the ability to utilize her hair in supernatural methods.
 * Hair Combat: Sash Lilac regularly utilizes her twin ponytails in combat for whip-like and slicing maneuvers.

Earpieces

 * Hearing Aid: Lilac has fish fin-like ears underneath the earpieces, but a genetic defect renders them useless and she's extremely hard-of-hearing if not deaf without her earpieces. Because of that, she depends on them to hear like a normal person.
 * Damp Loud Noises: Her earpieces respond instantly to dampen loud noises which would temporarily or permanently deafen normal people.

Skills

 * Indomitable Will: Lilac has a very strong force of will, completely free of evil or temptation. She can withstand extreme physical torture, and not have her will wavered. Even while being electrocuted with near-fatal voltage, she told Torque not to reveal anything to Brevon. Even Brevon himself said that he believe he could "Hack at her limbs all day" and she would "still find a way to bite back".


 * Master-Level Fighting Skills / Kung Fu: She is a master level fighter, being trained and operating with the Red-Scarves, and later with formal training on Shang Mu. Lilac has won multiple fighting tournaments, and is well-adept in hand-to-hand and super-powered combat. Her skills rival that of Spade's, and she was capable of defeating The Warlord Brevon himself in a one-on-one duel.
 * Traditional "Chinese" Medicine: Lilac seems to know a bit of the Millenaire Medicine from the Three Kingdoms, as she knows how to use herbal medicine in case of the red petals, and probably acupuncture, massage (tui na), exercise (qigong), and dietary therapy.
 * Ki/Ch'i usage: As result of her formal training, Lilac is studying ways of ch'i usage. She can donate her own ch'i to heal small injures, or bigger ones if done with someone else, donating their ch'i as well. But she has little to no proficiency with it.
 * Leadership: Lilac is a naturally born leader, able to inspire others with her charisma, adore, and idealism. She is even capable of turning total strangers, even enemies, into comrades with just her words alone.
 * Intelligence: Lilac seems to possess above average intelligence. She was capable of understanding Torque's techno-babble and explaining it.
 * Mental Discipline: Lilac also have an incredible mental discipline due to her formal training, though not perfect, being easily motivated to revenge if very angry. Her mental discipline came as necessity to endure the pressure of being seen as superstar after saving Avalice.
 * Swimming: As a Water Dragon, Lilac is a skilled swimmer. However, a genetic defect prevents her from breathing underwater. Though she can hold her breath underwater for a longer period of time than the others without faint, probably by the same way the whales hold their breath.

Attributes
Lilac has a strong set of close-range attacks that involve hitting enemies with either her boots, her twin ponytails or with martial arts maneuvers. Her signature move, the Dragon Boost, gives her an instant burst of speed, capable to reach Mach speed in a few seconds, and she has a number of extra abilities that help carry her momentum across a variety of different terrain types. Her main weakness is the lack of a ranged attack, being limited to melee attacks, although this is mitigated somewhat by the Dragon Boost granting her temporary invulnerability.

Before the Sequel
After the invasion, Lilac and her friends have undergone formal training to strengthen and refine their fighting abilities. She has graduated from coincidental world-saver into full-time hero, also reflecting on her public image, now being seen as a superstar by the avalician people.
