With her blue eyes and hair, she gives off an air of mystery. True to her lineage, as a descendant of a clan that once stood against the Black Mage, she is highly capable in many fields. In particular, her skill at deciphering codes is said to be unmatched in Maple World.
She is known to have a somewhat cold and distant side, but considering who her older brother is, that may not be so surprising.
That brother, of course, is Neinheart, the strategist of Empress Cygnus, who is widely known for his formal personality.”
- ― Chronicler Ael
Lilin von Rubistein is a member of the Rien Clan and the younger sister of Neinheart.
Story
The Rien Clan
Lilin was a member of the Rien Clan, which had settled on Rien after the Black Mage was sealed away. Over the centuries, the Rien Clan continued passing down a prophecy of the Heroes' return, though many slowly began to lose faith. One by one, the clan began to , the clan settled on the icy island and awaited the return of the polearm hero. Over the centuries, the clan - known as the Rien Clan - continued passing down the prophecy of the Heroes' return, though many slowly began to lose faith. One by one, the clan began to leave Rien until only two siblings, Lilin and Neinheart von Rubistein, remained. Eventually, even Neinheart lost faith in the prophecy and decided that he would rather take fate into his own hands by finding the lost descendant of Empress Aria in order to have them become the next ruler of Maple World. Lilin and Neinheart got into an argument, with Lilin believing that he was simply running away like everyone else, though Neinheart insisted that he was merely finding another way, as he strongly believed that he could trace the Empress's descendants through research. Though Neinheart asked her to come with him, Lilin refused, claiming that she didn't need him, and that she would wait for the true hero, Aran. As Neinheart left, Lilin shouted that she would never call him brother again, leaving their relationship estranged.
Aran Awakens
After Neinheart left, Lilin eventually discovered Aran frozen in ice. Aran soon awoke to the sight of Lilin, who was thrilled to have finally found the lost hero. Aran quickly realized that she had no memories, which Lilin suspected was the result of the Black Mage's curse. She explained that the Black Mage was an evil Transcendent who had attacked Maple World hundreds of years ago until Aran and the other Heroes had stopped him, though she added that the Heroes had all been cursed by the Black Mage and frozen in ice. Lilin admitted that she had no idea why Aran had woken up in Rien, though she noted that the curse had changed the island's climate. She then introduced herself to Aran and explained that she was a member of the Rien Clan, which had awaited the lost hero's return for centuries. With Aran still unable to remember anything, Lilin escorted the hero to town and introduced her to the native penguins of Rien along the way. The penguins were awestruck to meet Aran and presented her with gifts to help her grow stronger after learning that her memories and strength had been taken by the curse. In town, Aran began feeling a strange sensation that something was calling to her as Lilin began telling her more about her past. She explained that after the Heroes and the Black Mage had disappeared, their legend had faded into obscurity, though the Rien Clan had passed down the stories and a prophecy of the Heroes' return, with Lilin being the last member of her clan who still believed in it. She added that now that Aran had finally returned, just as she had believed, it meant that the Heroes would finally stop the Black Mage once and for all, as rumors of his return were spreading across Maple World.
Having explained more about Aran's past, Lilin asked the hero whether she felt anything different. Aran explained that she had felt someone calling to her, to which Lilin wondered whether it was related to the large polearm in the middle of town. She explained that the polearm had been at the center of the island for centuries, and that the Rien Clan had settled around the polearm after learning that it had once belonged to one of the Heroes. Because Aran had awakened on Rien, Lilin suspected that Aran was the polearm hero and explained that the polearm hero was named ‘Aran'. After learning her name, Aran decided to train and recover some of her skills by fighting the native monsters on Rien. Though she felt a sense of familiarity while swinging her polearm, Aran was unable to recall more of her memories. Because of this, Lilin suggested that she touch the giant polearm at the center of town, believing that the weapon would recognize its owner if the stories were true. Upon touching the polearm, the spirit of Maha appeared before her, relieved to know that she could finally hear his voice. However, Maha was shocked to find that Aran had lost her memories and strength, which he realized was because of the Black Mage's curse. In order to help her return to her old self, Maha used his power to awaken some of Aran's dormant abilities and told her to keep training, as only regaining her strength would allow her to recover all of her missing memories.
Francis the Puppeteer
After speaking with Maha, Aran began to regain some of her confidence that she was indeed the polearm hero Aran, for which she resolved to regain her strength as fast as she could by training. She then spoke with Lilin, who was pleased to hear that Aran had regained some of her old strength. Though she noted that the road ahead would be difficult, she added that it was one that Aran had already walked before. She then told Aran that the only way to return to her old self was by training hard and diligently, which could only be done by leaving Rien and exploring Maple World. She explained that there was an information broker named Mr. Truth, better known as Tru, who could help her get stronger, and suggested that Aran meet with him in Lith Harbor. There, Tru helped Aran gain experience and strength by working as an informant. During Aran's missions, she came across Francis, a Black Wings officer, and learned that he was causing the monsters of Victoria Island to go berserk. Tru explained that he had heard of the Black Wings and told her that he had thought that they were merely a hoax. He began to grow concerned that the Black Mage truly was on the verge of resurrection and resolved to look into the Black Wings. He then told Aran to inform Lilin about this latest development, adding that the return of the Heroes, the followers of the Black Mage, and the prophecy were all connected. Given how much Lilin had researched and believed in the Heroes, Tru told Aran that Lilin had a right to know as much as anyone, especially since she might be able to help them with her knowledge.
Aran returned to Rien and explained the situation to Lilin, who noted that the rise of the Black Wings seemed to confirm that the Black Mage was still alive. When Aran asked Lilin if she was afraid, she replied that she had no fears, as she was certain that Aran would defeat the Black Mage. She reassured Aran that it was clear that her strength was returning since coming out of the ice, and that there was no way that Aran had endured so much suffering only to lose to the Black Mage. Lilin then told Aran to return to Tru, who asked her to continue with her investigation. After Aran defeated Francis, she took a document from his cave and brought it to Tru. He realized that the document was written in code and told Aran to bring it to Lilin, who was a master codebreaker since her youth, as many of the legends about the Heroes had been written in code that she had meticulously deciphered. Aran brought the document to Lilin, who solved the code and learned that Francis' mission was to recover the Seal Stone of Victoria Island, and that he had been using his puppets to control the monsters of Victoria Island in order to find it. The report also showed that due to unforeseen complications from external forces, the mission had been delayed, and Francis had requested reinforcements.
Lilin noted that the report had been written by Francis to his superior, and that he had been extremely obsequious in his wording, causing her to wonder who Francis was reporting to. Though Lilin was unsure what the Seal Stone was, she told Aran that since it seemed to be something that the Black Wings were searching desperately for, she believed that it had to be closely related to the Black Mage. Knowing that Aran was likely the external complication that Francis was referring to, Lilin advised Aran to exercise caution. Aran confidently replied that she would be able to handle the Black Wings, to which Lilin replied that though Aran was talking like a hero again, she still had a long way to go, for which she ordered Aran to start training again. Soon after, Tru was able to obtain the Seal Stone of Victoria Island and presented it to a surprised Aran. He explained that one of his business partners had been one step faster than us, and that their employer had managed to steal the Seal Stone first and deliver it to him, though the Black Wings had attacked his shop before he had gotten the chance to tell her and Lilin. As the Seal Stone wasn't safe with him, Tru asked Aran to bring it to Lilin for safekeeping, as Rien was home only to the Rien Clan, with many spells having been placed on it to keep it inaccessible to foreigners. Aran then brought the Seal Stone of Victoria Island to Lilin, who promised to keep it safe on Rien.
Mirror Cave
Soon after, Maha called to Aran through their mental link and told her that he could feel that she had grown much stronger. He called her back to Rien, where he asked her whether she had regained any more of her memories. Aran replied that she could only remember his name and a memory of fighting in a great battle, as well as the fact that she had fought beside her comrades. Maha explained that the reason why she had lost her memory was because she had been greatly weakened when the Black Mage had cursed her, and while she had instinctively protected herself against the physical shock, she had been unable to defend against the mental shock. Because of this, Maha believed that the fastest way for her to regain her strength was by regaining her memories. He explained that he had suspected that Aran wouldn't be the same after waking up from the curse, which was why he had made provisions long ago by bringing her to Rien, as the Black Mage's influence there was considerably weaker, making it the perfect place for him to cast a protective spell on. He revealed that he had used his magic to create a special place on Rien where she could regain her memories, though he couldn't remember exactly where it was after hundreds of years. Aran then met with Lillin, who explained that her clan had discovered an ice cave long ago, where they had discovered a special mirror which could reflect moments from one's past. Lilin realized that Maha must have created it for Aran to regain her memories and asked her to visit the Mirror Cave.
The Seal Stone of Orbis
During her mission to obtain the Seal Stone of Orbis, Aran was foiled by Orchid, who used her gravity powers to contain Aran while she stole the Seal Stone. Frustrated, she returned to Tru and told him what had happened in Orbis. Tru reassured Aran that it hadn't been her fault, as the Black Wings had been prepared, especially with their leader having special powers as well. He then suggested that she report to Lilin back in Rien. Just like Tru, Lilin told Aran not to feel bad, as they had managed to learn that there were multiple Seal Stones. She also noted that the Black Wings had been planning the operation for a long time, meaning that it was all the more impressive that Aran had managed to save the Seal Stone of Victoria Island. She then told Aran to keep focusing on getting stronger, promising that she and Tru would keep the Seal Stone of Victoria Island safe in the meantime.
The Seal Stone of Mu Lung
While attempting to recover the Seal Stone of Mu Lung, Aran was thwarted once again by the Black Wings, though she nevertheless managed to learn that the Heroes had been responsible for hiding the Seal Stones across Maple World. Aran shared what she had learned with Lilin, who was excited to learn that the Heroes had left behind the Seal Stones and told Aran that the information made up for losing the Seal Stone of Mu Lung. Aran was confused by how she had reached that conclusion, to which Lilin explained that by piecing together information on the Heroes, she could predict which places were likely to have the Seal Stones before the Black Wings found out. As always, she told Aran to focus on training while she researched the Heroes and Tru looked into the Black Wings.
The Seal Stone of Ereve
After the Time Control Room in Ludibrium broke down, a crack in time was opened that led to Ellin Forest. By analyzing reports of the time period, Lilin was able to conclude that the temporal rift led to a time when the Heroes had still been active. Lilin shared this information with Tru, who asked Aran to investigate the crack in time. In Ellin Forest, Aran met with Athena Pierce and learned that she had been safeguarding the Seal Stone of Ellin Forest. After the Black Wings stole the Seal Stone, however, Athena told Aran that the Heroes had given her a letter to safeguard. As the laws of time prevented Aran from taking it, Athena promised to give it to her in the present day. However, the Black Wings - who had overheard the conversation - attacked Athena and managed to read the letter before Aran drove them off. Aran then brought the letter to Tru, who found that it was completely unreadable. He realized that it was written in code, and that since Hiver had already read it, the Black Wings likely already knew the contents of the letter. Tru told Aran that Lilin would be able to decipher it, and so Aran went to Rien and showed the letter to her. Lilin realized that the code was extremely complicated, with several layers of encryption. After deciphering the letter, Lilin learned that it had been written by Aran to the former Empress and that the letter simply said to take care of the Seal Stone of Ereve. As the Black Wings had read the letter, Lilin realized that they likely knew of the Seal Stone's existence, and so she asked Aran to warn the people of Ereve and told her to bring the letter as proof. Soon after, Neinheart contacted Lilin and asked her to invite Aran to Ereve, where he personally thanked her for warning them about the Black Wings' plot.
Invasion of Rien
After the Black Wings learned that the Seal Stone of Victoria Island was being kept on Rien, Orchid led the Black Wings to invade the island. With Lilin having gone in hiding, Aran and Phantom - who had previously helped Tru recover the Seal Stone - worked together to drive the Black Wings away. Phantom then met with Lilin, who told him that Aran had taken care of most of the invasion herself, though she thanked him for his help. When Phantom asked whether the Seal Stone was safe, Lilin explained that she had locked it up in the Rien Library. Lilin then told Phantom that she wanted to ask him a question about the Heroes, which Aran couldn't answer because of her amnesia. She asked him if the people of Maple World from centuries ago had known about the Heroes and their actions in fighting the Black Mage. Phantom told her that the Heroes had been very well-known and asked Lilin why she wondered such a thing. Lilin told him that she knew that the Heroes had to have been well-known, but given that it was the case, she asked him why the Heroes had been forgotten. A surprised Phantom asked her to elaborate, and so Lilin explained that despite the Heroes having taken down one of the worst villains in Maple World, there wasn't a single record of their victory, which she found strange, even after taking into account that it had happened centuries ago. She told him that the Rien Clan had a record of every feat and accomplishment of the Heroes, but the rest of the world had no knowledge of both the Heroes and the Black Mage, as though they had all been wiped from the history book. Phantom decided to look into it, claiming that even if someone had been erasing the Heroes from history over centuries, there had to be a few clues that they couldn't have covered up. Before he left, he asked if she would be alright in Rien, to which Lilin explained that between Aran and the penguin warriors, Rien was one of the safest places in Maple World. She assured him that if things got too bad, she would give the Seal Stone of Victoria Island to someone trustworthy for safekeeping. Phantom then returned to the Lumiere and told Colette about what he had learned. Colette promised him that she would scour Maple World for any untampered record of the Heroes in order to find any leads.
After Phantom left, Lilin met with Aran, and explained that she had been able to flee to safety, and that someone else had come to help Rien as well. Lilin revealed that Phantom had arrived on Rien just before Aran had, explaining that he was one of the Heroes who had fought the Black Mage. Hearing Phantom's name caused Aran to vaguely remember him and to realize that he was the reinforcements that Tru had mentioned, as well as the employer of Tru's business partner. Lilin confirmed Aran's suspicions and explained that she had spoken with Phantom because she had been curious to know something that only he could answer, as someone who hadn't lost his memories. She told Aran that despite the Heroes being known by the common people, there were almost no records of their battle against the Black Mage, even though it ought to have been an extremely important historical event. She suspected that someone was deliberately erasing records of the Heroes and the Black Mage, adding that Phantom had decided to investigate the matter personally. She then told Aran that Phantom had confirmed that Orchid was the leader of the Black Wings and a Commander of the Black Mage centuries ago. Aran immediately realized that the person she had been fighting was Orchid, though she regretted being unable to defeat her. However, Lilin reassured her that she would get another chance, especially if Orchid was a Commander. Aran asked Lilin whether she would be okay, to which Lilin told her that she would strengthen the protective spells around Rien, and that she would give the Seal Stone to someone trusted in order to keep it safe. Following this, Lilin sent the Seal Stone of Victoria Island to Athena Pierce in order to keep it safe under the protection of the Explorers' Guild.
Crisis in Riena Strait
A traveler was contacted by Lilin, who explained that the water levels of Rien were rising and that all of Rien would soon be underwater. She told them that the Penguins, Malamutes, and Seals had all put aside their differences and had started working together to save Rien by studying the islands that were most affected. She added that they could use the traveler's help and told them to ask Puro the penguin to ferry them to the Glacial Observatory. After the traveler helped save Riena Strait, Lilin arrived at the observatory and thanked the traveler for his help. She told them that she had learned that even if people disagreed on things, working towards a common goal brought out the best in them, especially if it protected the ones they loved.[3]
Birth of an Alliance
After receiving a letter from the Cygnus Knights about the formation of a world-wide alliance, Lilin contacted Aran and asked her to return to Rien. There, she excitedly showed Aran the invitation to the conference that the Empress had arranged and explained that it was proof that Ereve had recognized Aran as a true hero. Believing it best that Aran go with someone who recognized her as a hero, Lilin suggested that she ask Athena Pierce to accompany her, as she was a well-respected figure in Maple World. Aran asked Lilin if she would also come to the conference, but Lilin was unsure about whether she ought to be there. Nevertheless, Lilin decided to accompany Lilin, Athena Pierce, and Mercedes to Ereve.
After receiving unanimous confirmations, the First Continental Conference took place, and the Maple Alliance was officially created.
Taming Maha
As Aran continued her training, Lilin reached out and asked her to return to Rien, as Maha was behaving strangely. Realizing that she couldn't hear Maha's voice in her head either, Aran rushed back to Rien and found that Maha was emanating dark energy. He explained that he had been frozen over the centuries, just as she had been, and that the absence from his master had been too much for him, which had caused seeds of darkness to be planted in his heart. Though he had initially believed that the darkness would have gone away after Aran returned, Maha realized that its hold was too strong on him. He then begged Aran to defeat him and return him to normal before he went berserk. Aran then fought Maha and managed to return him to his senses. Maha thanked her for her help and explained that their connection had now strengthened even further, enough so that she could now use his full power without having to wield him directly. He then bestowed all her old skills and explained that she would return to full power once she fully mastered them. Just then, Lilin rushed over in worry and asked Aran what had happened. Aran and Maha both laughed as they realized that Lilin hadn't been able to see Maha, prompting Aran to recount everything that had happened.
Regaining Lost Memories
While exploring the Temple of Time, Aran's memories were drained by Dodo. After being told by the Record Keeper to return to where her adventure began, Aran decided to seek out Lilin in Rien. Lilin explained that the whole process of seeing Aran having lost her memories but still keeping her spirit as a hero, as well as her gradually regaining her abilities, was a memory for her.
Black Heaven
The morning of the operation to face Black Heaven, Lilin began overseeing Aran's training exercises. She told Aran not to stop, noting that the battle was the perfect opportunity to see how well her training had paid off, as well as to impress others with her heroic character. Though Aran agreed with Lilin, she added that she was just planning to do what she had to do, as she had no intention of being a hero alone. Lilin then allowed Aran to stop practicing before adding that it was a shame that she couldn't come with Aran and watch her fight. She then told Aran not to wear herself out, as it was her first aerial fight. Aran asked Lilin why she was worried, to which Lilin admitted that she would hate it if Aran got hurt. Aran teasingly asked Lilin what she had said, joking that she hadn't been able to hear her. Lilin replied that it was nothing and that she merely wanted to tell Aran to go slow before heading towards the farewell crowd.
Aftermath
After the battle of Tenebris, Aran arrived to visit Lilin, who was surprised to see her, since Aran was supposed to be at a party. Aran told Lilin that she'd already had her fill of fun and had figured that Lilin could use the company, as Lilin didn't have a cat or any other pet. Lilin told Aran that she wasn't a lonely, doddering old woman and told Aran that just because she had helped defeat the Black Mage, it didn't mean that she could get lazy and fall out of shape, to which Aran laughed that she couldn't let her gorgeously sculpted muscles go to waste. Lilin asked if that meant that she had come to train, which Aran confirmed, adding that she wanted to thank Lilin as well, which took Lilin aback. Aran explained that even though everyone was giving her credit for defeating the Black Mage, her friends were the real reason why she had won, as their determination had given her the strength that she had needed. She told Lilin that she had always been her biggest supporter and explained that she couldn't have done any of it without her. Lilin was left speechless as she blinked back tears before telling Aran to get to training. Aran laughed and told Lilin not to pretend as though she wasn't touched, as she could plainly see her tears. However, Lilin told Aran that she was mistaken, claiming that the wind had merely blown a snowflake on her face. Aran smiled before heading out to train alone. After Aran left, Lilin spoke aloud that she would always need Aran, who had appeared to save the day just when she had been about to give up hope. She then added that she was grateful for every day that she got to spend with Aran.
Story (FriendStory)
Lilin's counterpart in Friends World is a student at Shinsoo International School.
Cassandra's Tales of Totally Shocking Stuff
While replaying the chapter, the player will meet Lilin on their way to see Oz at the infirmary. Aran gets exclusive dialogue during this scene, in which she notes that the girl, whose name she doesn't know, looks a lot like Lilin from Maple World. Lilin asks the player where the infirmary is. The player can either choose to ignore her, resulting in the normal ending, or offer to walk her there. If the player offers to walk her there, she'll decline and ask them to just tell her where it is. After the player tells her, she asks if they know the student president, Neinheart, and whether they're a friend of his. The player tells her that they're friends with Neinheart, although he'd probably say differently. She then tells them not to mention that she was here, after which she'll storm off, although the player still gets Lilin as a contact in their phone.
If the player talked to Lilin during the story replay, there is a bonus scene that plays at the end of the chapter. Cygnus will meet with Neinheart in the infirmary, where she'll ask him why he's still wearing his bandages when he's fully healed. Just then, Lilin - who had previously asked the player for directions to the infirmary - will arrive. Neinheart is glad to see his sister, although Lilin shuts down his attempts at being friendly and explains that she only came to see if his foot is healed yet. Neinheart tells her that it should be better soon before asking why she's here so early, sternly adding that he hopes that she didn't skip class. Lilin retorts that she's not here to talk about herself, as she's just here to check on him. She adds that he's had his bandages forever and tells him that he should go back to the doctor. Cygnus then hesitantly interrupts and introduces herself, to which Lilin replies that she knows who she is and calls Cygnus “Miss Shinsoo-moneybags-whatever”. Neinheart tells Lilin to mind herself, to which Lilin will tell her brother to mind himself, adding that she's not the one crushing on Cygnus. Neinheart will be shocked, and even Lilin is surprised that she let it slip, as it seems like she hadn't meant to. She then awkwardly decides to leave, hesitantly adding that it's nice that he has lots of friends now. After she leaves, Cygnus expresses her surprise at Lilin's personality, to which Neinheart explains that they've never gotten along. Cygnus then realizes that Neinheart had been wearing his bandages on purpose, to which Neinheart explains that Lilin wouldn't want to see him unless he had lied about still being injured. Nevertheless, Cygnus notes that Neinheart is grinning and asks him why. Neinheart replies that it's because it's been a while since Lilin had called him her brother.

She then notes that the fact that the people behind the melting glaciers had been dangerous enough to cause the sea levels to rise means that they can't just ignore it. She decides that she'll write a letter to someone who can help investigate, even though she doesn't want to speak to him. She then tells Aran that in order to help people come together and protect what they love, they need a hero like Aran. She explains that heroes are symbols of hope who have the power to bring people together, and that with Aran on their side, they all have that hope. Lilin then jokingly asks Aran if she's scared before laughing that there's no way that it could be true when she's Aran. Upon Aran pointing out that she had just smiled, Lilin asks in confusion why she's so surprised, noting that all humans laughed sometimes. She then asks Aran whether she's going to get back to training before adding that she won't disturb her as she gets to it.
