She pledged to kneel to no man ever again, but they to her.
Embracing her power as an immortal and her position as a woman, she channeled her rage by overpowering and killing men she lured. Observing how society and its men mistreat and disregard women, her rage festered. Brona quickly deduced the circumstances of her resurrection, with Victor as her creator, yet kept that knowledge to herself. As Lily Frankenstein, she has been polite and courteous initially, and then a darker, more violent character began to surface. Since Brona's 'rebirth' as Lily at the hands of Victor Frankenstein, her personality has undergone a drastic change. Her beautiful appearance is stained by the marks of tuberculosis, an illness (known at the time as consumption) which is untreatable for the poor.
She forms a bond with Ethan Chandler, who will do anything for her. The Gaelic meaning of her name is 'sadness', yet she remains lovely, spirited, and erotically alive. Brona is a poor Irish immigrant in Victorian London, trying to escape a dark and sordid past.
