APPEARANCE
Lyra has amethyst mainscales. They don't have any of the dots or stripes a normal SilkWing has. Lyra's claws, horns, and talons are all dark violet, while their antennae are teal. Their underbelly is beau blue, kind of a muted periwinkle-cyan. Their glowsclaes are a light wisteria, and they are only on their underbelly and legs. Lyra's eyes are celeste blue. Their ears droop a little due to almost always wearing heavy earrings. 
For some unknown reason, Lyra never spun their cocoon. They're left with two wingbuds. Nevertheless, Lyra is a good climber, using their curved sharp claws to cling onto the treestuff in the Hives. It's somewhat easier being a thief with no wings- it's much easier to hide from passing guards and finding disguises is also not hard. 
Lyra has a pretty slim and short build, being skinny as to never having enough to eat. Their silk-spinning abilities were not affected during their odd Metamorphosis, and they spin normal silk. Like any other SeaWing, Lyra can brighten and dim their glowscales. Lyra loves dressing up and wears many different disguises in order to avoid being caught. 
PERSONALITY
Lyra is mischevious and is naturally a troublemaker. Even when she was working for Termite, she would always stick lemons in Termite's pillow and put pepper in his wine. Lyra is incredibly stealthy and is pretty smug and arrogant. Lyra's moods change very quickly, sometimes she can be arrogant and bratty and the next second she can be kind and accepting. Brimstone somehow lives with this. 
She doesn't know much about kindness. Lyra immediately becomes suspicious of dragonets when they start being kind to her, and generally sticks to herself. The only dragon she really trusts is Brimstone. 
RELATIONSHIPS
Parents: Lyra tries not to think about his parents but can't help feeling a little bit bitter. Why did they leave him? Was he not good enough? 
Termite: Termite was not kind to Lyra at all; he failed miserably at being a father figure to him. Lyra doesn't regret killing Termite. 
Brimstone: Lyra thinks of Brimstone as a brother and is the only dragon he actually trusts and values. He's deeply grateful to him for breaking him out of jail and enjoys his company. Lyra would do anything to protect Brimstone.
Glasswing: Lyra sometimes chats with Glasswing when he passes by his shop. Lyra really likes Glasswings' wings. Lyra sometimes brings Glasswing food as he can see how bored Glasswing is, standing the entire day. Overall, their relationship is positive.

BACKSTORY
Lyra was born. They existed. Whoever their parents were, they weren't very good ones as they left Lyra's egg on a the top of a cliff. A HiveWing scouting patrol found them, and they sold them to Termite, a wealthy HiveWing noble living in Jewel Hive. 
From the first moment Lyra laid eyes on Termite, they hated him. He was fat, and old, and ugly, and had terrible personal hygiene. Lyra worked for Termite as his treasurer for five years before they had enough and killed him. 
After killing Termite, Lyra was constantly chased by Queen Wasp's guards. They were small for a five-year old dragonet, which was perfect for darting in and out of stalls and squeezing into places where the burly HiveWings guards couldn't get into. Lyra didn't have a home anymore, so for the first year or so he slept on the streets, stealing things to eat. So one fateful day Lyra decided to spin their cocoon. 
Falling into a trance and feeling faint, they bumped into Brimstone, a dragonet a year older than Lyra. Brimstone flew Lyra as fast as he could to his small little house- which was actually an abandoned stall- and Lyra started their Metamorphosis. 
When Lyra came out of their cocoon, they were quite confused. Everything was blurry and fuzzy. First they saw a dark space with old rolls of cloth laying around. A small flamesilk lamp stood near them, its embers dying out. 
Lyra glanced back to look at their new beautiful wings- but there weren't any. Lyra's wingbuds stayed, but at least they had silk. They wanted to cry, but they caught themselves before the tears could fall. Lyra had to toughen up. 
Then, a dark blue male SilkWing with misshapen wings entered the room. Lyra realized that this was probably the other SilkWing's house. Brimstone introduced himself to Lyra. He told them that he had flown Lyra to his house because he didn't want something to go wrong during Lyra's Metamorphosis and he didn't want Lyra to be found by HiveWings. He also told Lyra why his wings were so ugly- Brimstone had entered his Metamorphosis on the streets, and that was obviously unsanitary, and something went wrong. 
Lyra started to walk to the door before he realized he had nowhere to go. Brimstone noticed this and told Lyra that they could stay with him. Lyra agreed, and that started a close bond that would last a lifetime. 
At first they mainly stayed at the abandoned stall, trading some old cloth for whatever food they could get. But one day, while Lyra was out in the Glitterbazaar, he noticed something glinting in the sunlight. It was a necklace. A golden one, to be exact. And in seconds, a small, malnourished SilkWing talon snatched the necklace. 
Lyra had realized that... maybe stealing would get them and Brimstone more money. 
So Lyra took this as a job. Lyra was a good thief. Due to their small and skinny appearance, it was easy for them to blend in with other poor SilkWings. While Brimstone initially didn't approve of Lyra stealing, he understood that Lyra was doing it for the best of them and soon Brimstone started pickpocketing and doing other crimes. 
Brimstone and Lyra would steal things and then either sell them on the black market, exchange them for food, or keep them. If they had extra things that they stole, they would give some much-needed supplies to the Chrysalis, and would also sometimes act as a spies, listening to what the guards were saying. Even though they were helping the Chrysalis, Lightmoon, the leader of the Chrysalis, didn't like the fact that the supplies were stolen and doesn't like the two dragonets. Lyra especially. 
Lyra eventually got caught and was put in jail for murder and theft. Luckily, Brimstone was able to shorten Lyra's prison stay by bribing the authorities with most of Lyra and Brimstone's possessions. Brimstone later broke Lyra out of jail anyway. 
Right now, Lyra is having the time of their life, stealing and living with Brimstone. They've met many useful contacts over the years, two of them being Violet and Viridian. 
TRIVIA
- At first, Lyra had a lot more gold in her and wasn't part SeaWing, but I redid her design for Grey's OC palette contest. She apparently won me second place for it wow
- Lyra looks pretty much nothing like a SeaWing but is still part SeaWing B).
- Lyra's design is a little based off of Whiptail, my very very old Sea/Silk OC.
- Lyra is based off of characters such as Han Solo, Aladdin, and Flynn.
