## Biography

### Early Life

In 5937 ASA, Lemon Thystamel was born on the moon Pluvia, which orbited the planet Praelior. She was the first daughter of Auranti and Uma Thystamel, her mother Uma having worked as an archivist at Stark Pillar. Both of her parents eventually fled the planet to escape execution for crimes against the Praeliorian Empire, as the two of them fundamentally opposed the Empire's actions. They were forced to leave their daughter Lemon behind.

Left as an orphan at a young age, Lemon was taken in by the empire and trained to work as a dust spreader on Praelior. While her aunt Cirioma was made her legal guardian, her duties as an elite officer left Lemon in the care of other officials of the empire. Lemon was taught to scatter the dust of deceased Dremirians across the surface of Praelior in order to make the planet more lustrous.

It was not uncommon for other trainee dust spreaders around Lemon's age to harass her over her relatively lackluster performance as a dust spreader, as well as because of her parents' poor reputation in the eyes of the empire. Among her tormentors were the twins Jazzilia and Jazzula Bornitas, who later grew up to be elites.

This way of life was commonplace for Lemon for most of her childhood.

## Personality and Traits

Lemon was a young Praeliorian girl and, as such, had white skin, white hair, and white eyes completely devoid of irises and pupils. Upon becoming a Dawn, she gave herself yellow highlights to embrace her newfound individuality.

Growing up on Praelior, Lemon always hated being picked on and bullied for her upbringing and work inefficiency. While she was raised by the Praeliorian Empire to despise the Dremirians, she couldn't help but channel her frustrations and despair at the Empire itself. This made defecting from the Empire less rough of a journey than it could have been for Lemon. All she had ever wanted was to be happy and to live the way she wanted to, not dictated by people who despised her.

Outside from these wishes of freedom and choice in life, Lemon was naturally suspicious of others because of her poor treatment as a child. Slowly but surely, she grew to understand how there were, in fact, kind and genuine people throughout the galaxy. Some saw her as bratty in terms of attitude, but the ones closest to her understood how this demeanor came about from always being treated as lesser by her peers and superiors as a child.

## Skills and Abilities

Despite what her childhood peers told her, Lemon had a number of skills outside of the roles assigned to her while growing up. She was rather quick on her feet and could easily crawl into hard-to-fit places, which proved to be valuable during stealth missions. The other Dawns helped teach her a degree of self-defense and combat skills.
