I disagree. It’s explained much more clearly in the novel but Lilith/Lyria is a genuine child who, when she concentrates, can recall memories of her past. She acts mostly her age through out and I would argue that even her intelligent moves don’t show her to be more mature than the other kids in the novel.
I will be honest its actually creepier to ship him with the ML than her teacher. ML is a child. And shes a literal grown ass adult in a childs body. I always find it unsettling when they do that
