She was Carrionite daughter to Mother Bloodtide and Mother Doomfinger, and leader of the three aliens trying trying to create their Millennium Of Blood - a resurgence of the Carrionite Empire. Lilith was an expert in spellcasting via word-shaping, naming and the use of dolls laced with human hair.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">The Carrionites were a female dominated species which existed when the universe was young, based in the 14 stars of the Rexel Planetary Configuaration. As a species, they were cast into the Deep Darkness by the Eternals, who legend has it used the Rexel stars as a prison door.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Lilith and her mothers escaped back to 16th Century England through the words of a depondent William Shakespeare  - Carrionite science being based on sensing emotions such as grief and suffering and using them to manipulate matter via words, shapes, numbers and names.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">They had Peter Streete design a 14 sided amphitheatre that would channel their energies back into the Deep Darkness when the correct words were spoken aloud at the epicentre of the structure - a moment the Carrionites referred to as the Hour Of Woven Words. </span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">Their true form was more akin to a giant skeletal raven or crow but, by using words, the three Carrionites could reshape themselves into a more humanoid form. This required a lot of energy so, with the exception of Lilith who occasionally appeared as a pretty young woman, they often appeared aged and ugly.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"><br /></span><span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;"></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">When The Doctor and William Shakespeare turned their spellcasting back on them, Lilith and her mothers were trapped inside their crystal ball for eternity.</span><br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px; text-align: justify;">The Doctor kept their crystal ball in a box in the TARDIS and filed it under 'C' for Carrionites.</span></div><br />
