Lilith

In the novels, Kindred and Lilith’s Brood (originally titled Xenogenesis), Octavia illustrated humanity’s conflict with identity and hegemony. Dana and Lilith shared the task of mentoring and helping others while also carrying the burden of being perceived as traders amongst their own people.
