Warning: SPOILERS for Lucifer Season 6.
Lucifer season 6 debuts a major new character, Rory Morningstar played by Brianna Hildebrand, and the actress is a familiar face to fans of Fox and Marvel's Deadpool movies. Lucifer season 6 picks up a few weeks from season 5's cliffhanger after Lucifer Morningstar (Tom Ellis) became God. However, the Devil is stalling from fully ascending to become the Almighty, and his life is thrown a curveball when Rory Morningstar - the Devil's daughter - arrives from the future to kill him.
Aurora "Rory" Morningstar is the daughter of Lucifer and Chloe Decker (Lauren German) and she's the half-sister of Trixie Espinoza (Scarlett Estevez), Chloe's daughter with her ex-husband Dan Espinoza (Kevin Alejandro). However, Rory grew up hating her father because Lucifer mysteriously vanished before she was born. Rory, who is half-angel and has black and red wings made of razor-sharp feathers, self-actualized the ability to time travel and she returned to Lucifer's 2020 present to kill her father. But unlike Lucifer's evil twin brother Michael, Rory didn't play deceitful games and she immediately confronted her father. Lucifer uncovering the reason why he abandoned his only child and disappeared takes up the bulk of the Devil's attention in Lucifer season 6, as both he and Chloe try to build a relationship with their adult daughter from the future.
Brianna Hildebrand is best known for playing Negasonic Teenage Warhead in Deadpool and Deadpool 2. Hildebrand's other credits include playing Brynn in the 2019 comedy film Playing With Fire starring John Cena, Keegan-Michael Key, and Dennis Haysbert, who played God in Lucifer season 5. Brianna is also known for her role as Verity in The Exorcist TV series on Fox. Ideally cast as Lucifer's rebellious daughter, Hildebrand brings a similar burn-it-all-down attitude but Rory also guards a sensitive side against her father, the Devil, who has to earn her trust. In the Deadpool films, Briana Hildebrand's Negasonic Teenage Warhead was the first openly gay X-Men movie character, and Rory is also attracted to women on Lucifer, which reflects the actress' real-life sexual orientation.
A chip off Lucifer's block, Rory Morningstar is a powerful half-angel with a unique set of wings that homage her father's status as the Devil, and her personality is more reflective of Lucifer's than Rory would care to admit. However, Rory was raised as a human by Chloe, who was forced to become a single parent when Lucifer disappeared. Lucifer season 5 introduced a host of angels who are the siblings of Lucifer and Amenadiel (D.B. Woodside) and who took sides between Lucifer and Michael over who should become the new God. Lucifer season 6 pulled back from Lucifer's angel brothers and sisters and smartly focuses on Rory's uniqueness and her volatile relationship with her father and mother.
Like other celestial beings, Rory also possesses the ability to self-actualize based on their innate desires or self-image; in the case of Lucifer's daughter, she was so consumed with the desire to get revenge on her father that Rory manifested the ability to time travel so she could confront (and kill) the Devil. Rory also grew up with Mazikeen (Lesley-Ann Brandt) as her aunt so she picked up some of the demon bounty hunter's attitude as well. The fact that Rory has wings as a half-human/half-angel but Charlie, the infant son of Amenadiel and Dr. Linda Martin (Rachael Harris) is a mortal is another conundrum that Lucifer season 6 wisely addresses.
Lucifer's final season introducing a brand-new angel who is also a pivotal character as the adult offspring of Lucifer and Chloe was a major gamble, but it paid off thanks to smart writing and the charismatic performance of Brianna Hildebrand, who instantly gelled with Tom Ellis, Lauren German, and the rest of Lucifer's cast so that there's never a doubt that Rory Morningstar is, indeed, the daughter of the Devil and his beloved detective.
Lucifer Season 6 is streaming on Netflix.
