Lilla, a striptease dancer, was born in Colombia but works in Budapest clubs to secure her future financially and retire early. Using her crafted persona, Lilac Cherry, she consciously works toward her goal of finding a true home and peace.

She was born in Colombia, into a dysfunctional family, where the father was abusing her. She left Colombia and moved to Europe, to Budapest, where she continued her studies. The talented girl got accepted to the Hungarian Highschool of Fine Arts.

Later, influenced by her psychologist, she told her mom, that her dad was abusing her. Her mom didn't believe her, told her that the man is not even her real father, and excluded her from the family. With the help of her grandfather, she found her German-Hungarian father, who helped her with learning Hungarian. She was 19 when she got introduced to the world of striptease by her friend. Thanks to her ballet dancer past, she was immediately successful. Her long term plan is to spend around 8 years in this industry, and with her collected wealth retire, and move back to Colombia by the time she is 30.
