Hello,
this is a "Vidal Jarbeaux" question, so maybe it has been answered before ...

Since I could find nothing on "traits" in the Rulings Sections, I will take the following definition for them.

Now my question: If "X" is a trait, is "non-X" also a trait?
For example: Can Vidal benefit twice from "Lilith's Blessing"? First time being non-Bahari, second time emulating non-Bahari (being actually Bahari)?

Lilith's Blessing has no requirement when played, so Vidal's text doesn't interact with Lilith's Blessing - Vidal can only fake a trait to have a card played, and not when it would be used.
So, short answer: Vidal can get 3 blood from Lilith's Blessing only once per Vidal.
