Lila is Junior's attractive, middle-aged wife. She has long brown hair and she wears a blue dress. She and Junior live in a cabin in the woods with her three sisters, Mae, Dolly, and Shyla. On the night that Junior brings Inman and Veasey home and lets them hide from the Confederate Home Guard, Lila cooks dinner for them and her family. After dinner, Junior grabs his shotgun and leaves the house while Veasey goes out to the smokehouse to have sex with Mae. Lila stops Shyla and Dolly from seducing a drunk, semi-conscious Inman and makes them leave the room, saying that Inman is hers. She then sits on a table and puts her leg on Inman's crotch when he is trying to pass by her. Inman rubs on her foot and she unbuttons and pulls down her top, revealing her bare breasts. When she asks him if he like it, he just stares nervously. She then lifts her gown above her waist and bends over on the table, revealing her buttocks and offering him anal sex. Inman touches her buttocks and hesitates. She gets down on her knees and goes for his pants, trying to stimulate him by way of oral sex,. They are then interrupted as Junior bursts in with the Home Guard, having betrayed Inman and Veasey for the reward money. He strikes both Lila and Inman in the face with his shotgun. He yells at Lila for cheating on him. Lila is last seen when she opens the smokehouse door and she has a bruised face from when Junior hit her.
