Lyra

Lyra

*"There's nothing I love more than a quiet walk on the beach. Wait no that's not right, animals!."*

**Lyra** is a member of the Adventurer's Guild, played by @BlackJet.

## Appearance

Lyra is a 5'11 Avariel Elf with long pink hair streaked with cyan and bright yellow eyes. She has the typical pointed elf ears and high features and kind smile. Her most notable feature is the large pair of wings that jut from her back over specially made clothing to adapt them. The wings are tattooed with the eys of a giant eagle. She normally wears soft colored tunics under leather armor with floral designs.

## Personality

Lyra is extrememly friendly. She's always got a bubbly attitude that shines through even when things seem hopeless. She loves meeting new people and helping them rise in the guild. She has a soft spot for animals and is quick to jump to their defense. Only on the rare occasion has she ever been seen angry, as she's typically described as mellow and easy going. Her biggest flaw is despite her great wisdom, she's too quick to trust. Since she will be around for a very long time, she's developing a new passion for knoweldge and to learn as much as she can.

## History

### Backstory

Not much is known about Lyra's time before the guild. She claims to be from the plane of air but has never mentioned family.

### AG History

She arrived at the guild as a mid leveled silver mission, taking on a job in the sewers of Luskan to remove some slimes. While there, she discovered a rat named Randy who could speak but had memory loss and couldn't explain it's otherwise strange and non-bestial behaviors. Throughout her other missions to rise through the ranks, she made it her personal mission to help this man/rat who claimed to have been cursed. Eventually she and some other gold members found a way to break through his plight, using the help of the gith and a captured mindflayer vat to reach into his memories and determine what happened so many years ago.

After Randy left to return home, now a human again, she decided to focus her efforts on her home. Initially persuaded to get a home by Mesgrali, she found the stone and wooden walls lackluster. On the night Randy left for home, she found herself distraught and lonely, taking to the forest to find a new passion. and she did! Welcome to the Oasis. For the next several months Lyra spent her guild earning turning her home into a habitable animal sanctuary in the form of a giant hollowed out tree. Now it houses several animal species and is open to all who want to volunteer and share her love of helping animals.

As the tensions with sigil grew, surmounting in a temporary hold on visiting the city of doors, Lyra found herself at the center of a ruse of the archdevil Geryon. She was kidnapped by a set of bounty hunters, nearly killed and had her wings ripped off. She was rescued by her guildmates and friends but for a while the entire experience scarred her as her home had been destroyed. But with all things, time healed and she's back out there ready to give the devil some payback.

## Relationships

### Lilian Evergarden

Lilian Evergarden is a known friend of Cogz who Lyra was very eager to meet. She's a shy wizard with a deep passion for books, comparable to Lyra's own for animals. She enjoys the easy going chats the have about knowledge and hopes to spend more time chatting in her library. They grew closer after going on a shopping trip to sigil together! Lyra won't let Lily pay her back hehe.

### Cogz

Cogz was one of Lyra's first friends at the guild. He's a rambunctious little tinkerer who has always got a new project he's working on. After her mission with Randy she gave him a topaz anihilator, something he uses to great effectiveness. She enjoys spending time with him and is so happy now they can go on missions again. She's very protective of the goblin and admires his creativity greatly. He was instrumental in building her sanctuary.

After going on a mission together, she was pleased to see how much the little dude had grown into a very advanced fighter with all his ranged versatility. There was one mission where the enemy they fought was something Cogz had contributed to, which broke her heart. When she confronted him, they both shared teary appologies.

### **Krim**

Krim is another one of Lyra's friend, having met him only recently on a platinum mission. Still, she greatly admires his compassion for other creatures and invited him to her Oasis to play with some of the animals before it was destoryed. She knows he's incredibly smart and a skilled fighter, more than capable of holding his own in combat. She hopes one day to watch him fully achieve his goal of mastering his gems and keeps an eager ear out for word of the gem dragons of the high ice for him.

### **Verity**

When Lyra met Verity in the Phandalin tavern, she was instantly smitten. Drawn in by his handsome features and kind voice, what started off as a friendship turned into something not even the archdruid could have foreseen. She greatly admired his dedication to music and his passion for helping others. Always a gentleman, his mannerisms and jokes never failed to make her laugh. He has a kind and giving soul, helping her practice her music and inspiring her to play the flute. They spend several "dates" together, going shopping in Waterdeep, practicing magic in a park, visiting her home, rescuing birds out in the forest, and much more where they continued to grow closer and closer.

During one visit to her home to read in her library, they confessed to their growing feelings and shared their first kiss. Since then, they've only gotten closer. It was on their second date, on a vacation to the Dwarven city of Gauntlgrym, that they became official. Though their relationship has only just begun, she's quickly grown to care about him deeply.

### **Mesgrali**

Mesgrali was one of Lyra's first friends at the guild. Since she had been alone for so long, talking to people was dificult but Mes was nothing but kind to her. He inspired her to get her home which later turned into her sanctuary and has been a close friend ever since. Though they don't talk much, Lyra knows Mes is a good person with a penchant for seeing people smile. He's the best musician she's ever met even if he won't admit it.

### **Taro**

Taro is a more interesting character she's revently met. Though he's a quiet person, she's found he's a good and loyal friend, seeing as how he won't hunt birds anymore since she spooked him as her owl form. He's an expert marksman and a very speedy boi. She likes to pretend the giant tree home he admires from afar isn't hers, seeing how long she can hold that ruse.
