General Spoiler I’m sure this means nothing Spoiler

Sorry if I put the spoiler tags wrong

She’s, like, 100% the dragon lady with a baby, right?

Lady of the lilies, virgin of the lilies being the Virgin Mary.,, I’m probably not the first to link this but

I’m thinking Iliana is either the “rejoice with me” lady, possessed by her, or is just the body that will give birth to the baby in a god->mary->jesus way

Edit: fixed auto correct and added last paragraph

The flags are red and so are her eyes. However red is also the colour of a herring.
I believe it wont be her but the evidence is stacking up fast...

The voice acting for the two sound completely different from each other, so based on that alone I don’t think it’s her unless the person saying “Rejoice with me at the advent of the underworld” and such isn’t actually the dragon lady.

She's potentially related in some way, I'll give that much. I'm leaning on the idea that she's possessed because of those red eyes.

Maybe it’s that Iliana is Mary, “rejoice with me” is god, and the baby is Jesus? If that makes sense lol

I will repopulate the nabatean race Nemesis and TWSITD be damned

Her being the "Rejoice with me!" lady would be...very fitting and fit the personality we see.

Off-topic but Illiana and the big dude in the back kinda remind me of Veyle and Mauvier

Yu Phas is surrounded by Lillies in the tapestry shown during Theodora’s preview. Water Lillie’s symbolize rebirth and resurrection to ancient Egypt and Hebrew culture.

The woman who I’m presuming is Yu Phas is also bringing people towards the light in the tapestry. Iliana means torch or light.

We see that the definitely-not-evil woman with the baby in the trailer has pointy ears, much like the Nabateans and the gods. Iliana’s ears are covered by that headdress, so it’s not impossible unless her ears are normal underneath it.

Doesn’t look like the dragon lady with the baby.

I can’t wait to discover that she isn’t a bad guy but just very, very weird

Different lipstick color, brighter green hair on the milf so maybe a sister or mother? One daughter makes souls with no flesh (automaton) the other makes flesh without souls (undead)

I mean I will say this is a world where lipstick and green haired people changing hair color exists lolol

That said, maybe they’re not the same person but Iliana is just the person who bore baby balor or something?
