Name: Zuri Aisha Pierce
Superhero Alias: Lady Lilith
Age: 19

Species: Cambion (half-human, half-incubus)
Looks:
Demon Form:
Personality: Zuri is a secretive, scandalous, roguish, and crafty jezebel with a very mischievous, flippant, saucy, presumptuous, and extremely nervy attitude. Often she subjugates villains through her many forms of manipulation, extortion, low blows, and dirt she's able to obtain on them. Unprincipled and unscrupulous, Zuri has a history of engaging in rather questionable activities and thuggish behaviors such as conning/robbing, being an escort/pimp and mistress, engaging in elaborate forms of blackmail, etc.
Zuri has a chameleon, street-smart nature that enables her to blend in with any crowd and she's excellent at reading and profiling people. This combined with her free-spirited and bold demeanor makes her invaluable when it comes to infiltration and going undercover. Zuri has no shame when it comes to her body or sexuality, being quite amoral and lusty and her open-mindedness knows little bounds.
Zuri has deep emotional scars from her childhood and early adult life which have turned her into an angry, vengeful woman. The main way she expresses her trauma is through her wrath. She's very choosy about her friends and associates and often appears as tough-minded, unemotional, and ruthless. Zuri actually has low self-esteem underneath her behavior and has a sense of secret shame and humiliation. She is full of secrets, pain, anger, and vengeance.
Despite being picky about who she allows to get close to her as well as her numerous flaws, Zuri is a person who is devoted to, loyal, and protective of her closest friends and will do anything to be there for them and support them, even to the point of being self-destructive and reckless. Judging isn't her style and she'll befriend people from all different walks of life thanks to her chameleon nature.

- Enthrallment/Mind Control: Zuri is considered a master of enthrallment/mind control to the point where she can control an entire army with just a snap of her fingers. However it can be broken either by holy magic or by strong will.
- Magic/Spell-casting: Similarly to Raven, Zuri is very skilled in magic and spells which is her main way of offense. However she's inferior to Raven in this category because Raven can use spells and magic that she can't.
- Superhuman Conditioning: Although nowhere near as superhuman as Starfire, Zuri is still a danger even without magic. She's quite skilled in hand-to-combat and knows how to use a sword and guns although she rarely uses them.
Hobbies: Zuri is a self-proclaimed gearhead, loving cars and motorcycles. It's not uncommon to see her racing and hanging out with other racers. Just like Beast Boy and Cyborg, Zuri is a gamer and has her own large collection that she shares with them whenever possible. She also has a secret affinity for dancing and rapping that she hasn't shared with anyone.
Addictions: Zuri is addicted to dilaudid.
Mental Illnesses: Zuri suffers from PTSD and depression, often exhibiting the following symptoms:

- Flashbacks: If triggered, Zuri will have vivid flashbacks which can have dangerous consequences for those around her due to her not being able to distinguish reality from fantasy and friends from enemies.
- Behavioral Issues: Zuri often exhibits agitation, irritability, hostility, and hyper-vigilance.
- Panic/Anxiety Attacks: Zuri will often have these much to her embarrassment and they can be triggered just like her flashbacks.

Father: James Pierce | CEO of Sweet Paradise Inc. | Alive
Older Brother: Benjamin Pierce | Owner of Benny's Towing | Alive
Son: Quincy Maxwell Jr. | Deceased (presumably)

Past: Zuri's human mother Layla met an incubus named James when she was 18 and despite the ten-year age difference between them, it was like love at first sight. But their romance had many bumps in the road due to Layla being a human and James' family not being very accepting of it. But James defied them and married Layla two years later, taking her away from her poor neighborhood in Detroit to his mansion in Jump City.
Zuri was born three years after her brother Benjamin and thanks to her father owning a large company, she was treated with the best that life could afford. When she was 5, Zuri began to experiment with her powers behind her parents' backs but she was eventually caught. Her father was delighted while her mother was worried and concerned for her safety. Despite Layla's protests, James had begun to teach Zuri how to control her powers but he was very adamant about her not using them while out in the general public.
One person that Zuri was very close to was her older cousin Steve who was a transvestite prostitute, robber, and conman who often went by Lady Diamond. After she turned 13, Steve began to show her the ropes but kept her out of the more adult activities. But Zuri would eventually lose her virginity at age 14 to a gangster named Quincy Maxwell who was 2 years her senior. But the relationship was rather abusive and Zuri was quite afraid of Quincy. When she was 15, Zuri gave birth to a son that she named Quincy Jr. In order to keep the relationship a secret from her parents, she lied to them and said that her son was the result of a one-night stand. Although they were disappointed in Zuri for having a wild lifestyle, they still embraced and loved their grandson with all their hearts.
When Zuri tried to leave Quincy with Quincy Jr in tow, Quincy beat her to within an inch of her life and took the boy, threatening to kill him if she didn't give him $50,000. Too injured to do anything, Zuri attempted to go after Quincy but passed out in the street, eventually being found by the Titans who tried to take her to a nearby hospital but she refused and broke her father's number one rule. Using her enthrallment abilities, Zuri kissed a nearby human in front of them, absorbing energy which made her heal. At her wit's end, Zuri completely broke down and revealed everything to Robin despite not knowing a single thing about him or the Titans in general.
After extensive searching, the Titans and Zuri eventually found Quincy but Quincy Jr wasn't with him. To their horror, Quincy revealed that he had taken the boy fishing and threw him over a bridge. He was arrested and thanks to Zuri's testimony, Quincy went to jail for multiple crimes and he would never see the light of day again.
Curious about her powers, Robin asked Zuri to join the Titans which made her begin to reflect on how she lived her life and how it resulted in the death of her son. Knowing that she had to change her life for the better, she reluctantly declined his offer and became an anti-hero instead, using whatever measures necessary to take down any bad guys.
