Description
Lilia Helstea is a supporting character in The Beginning After The End. She is the only daughter of Vincent Helstea and Tabitha Helstea, a wealthy and respected family in Xyrus City. Her parents, both non-mages, harbor a strong desire for Lilia to awaken as a mage so she can attend Xyrus Academy, a prestigious school of magic. This expectation weighs heavily on her, as she feels pressure to fulfill their hopes and often sneaks away to the servants' quarters to escape the stress. She is initially envious of the immense talent displayed by Arthur Leywin, who lives with her family for a time, and wishes she could become a mage to make her parents proud.
Personality-wise, Lilia is shown as a kind and somewhat insecure girl. She struggles with feelings of inadequacy due to her lack of magical ability, leading to a sense of frustration and embarrassment when she is teased by other children. Her motivations are centered on gaining her parents' approval and proving her own worth, which drives her to accept help from Arthur when he offers to awaken her mana core.
Lilia's role in the story is primarily that of a childhood companion and a minor romantic interest. She develops a crush on Arthur, drawn to his maturity and strength. Arthur, aware of her feelings, does not reciprocate them romantically and gently places her in the category of a friend, attributing her affection to gratitude and admiration rather than genuine romantic connection. This dynamic highlights Arthur's careful navigation of his mental age versus his physical youth.
Her key relationship is with the Helstea family, particularly her parents, and with Arthur and his sister Ellie. She shares a warm friendship with Ellie and respects Arthur as a mentor figure. Her character development is limited; after awakening as a mage with Arthur's help, her future arc fades from the main narrative. She does not appear in later parts of the series, and her ultimate fate or further growth remains unexplored.
Notable abilities: Lilia does not possess innate magical talent. She is able to awaken her mana core only through Arthur's direct intervention, a rare and difficult process. After awakening, she becomes a mage, but no specific elemental affinity or combat abilities are highlighted, and she is not depicted as a powerful or prominent figure in magical conflicts.
