LILA BLOOM
Class: The Quiet Light Archetype
Origin Story (Bio):
Lila Bloom has lived with illness for most of her life—but you wouldn’t know it from the way she welcomes people. Her warmth isn’t performative. It’s practiced. Hard-won. She’s learned how to carry both pain and peace in the same breath, and her presence alone seems to make the room a little lighter.
Even on her hardest days, Lila shows up for others—writing letters, volunteering at the Ducktown Library, or just listening. She never asks for pity. Only understanding. And somehow, her gentleness isn’t fragile—it’s radiant.
Distortion can’t quite figure her out. It’s tried despair, bitterness, even isolation. But Lila meets it all with a steady smile and a cup of chamomile. Because she knows: even a quiet life can leave behind deep light.
