-Lilith is a character in Abrahamic folklore who is interesting for having been poofed into existence due to a misunderstanding.\\  Since that misunderstanding, though, Lilith has become quite popular((:fn:>Especially among feminists, but I'm not gonna get too into that...at least I hope so.)) and has had a habit of popping up all over the place.\\  It really isn't hard to see why Lilith is so popular. Even ignoring the //very// loose adaptations...well, there's a lot of mystique surrounding her in the Biblical narrative: What's the deal with her and Adam? What about her and Eve? Why did she leave? Did she leave of her own will? Is there some drama? Etc.\\  It should be noted that Lilith isn't really 'canon' to any major/mainstream [[playground:Christianity|Christian]] beliefs...which is completely reasonable.((:fn:>Though I should note that the original demon/monster that Lilith is derived from may still be considered canon.)) Among the other Abrahamic faiths...well, Jews don't really //do// 'canon' in a Christian sense, so she's either taken seriously or not...I can't really comment on how much each position is believed however. Islam and the others appear to not know what a Lilith is.+Since that misunderstanding, though, Lilith has become quite popular((:fn:>Especially among feminists, but I'm not gonna get too into that...at least I hope so.)) and has had a habit of popping up all over the place.
