Lyra/Relationships

## Relationships

### Shon

As a child in middle school, Lyra grew feelings for her best friend's brother, Shon. Shon eventually tells her that he reciprocates her feelings - not yet knowing that they are reciprocated - after Lyra gets injured and they start dating. Shon is one of Lyra's most important friends (and new boyfriend), and he works with her at the shop she owns called *Carnation*. He is very protective of her, especially regarding things that involve Ian.

In Season 2, Lyra became heartbroken when she learned that Shon had kissed her to take up the curse and save her. She has promised to find some way to bring back the Shon that she loves. Even as a siren, Shon's heart glows green. The green heart is a remnant of the old Shon inside him that he's forgotten. Lyra and Shon split the curse, later on, bringing Lyra back to the state she was in, in season 1, and allowing her to find the old Shon in her dreams, promising him that she'll bring him back which Lyra's love for Shon counters the curse that almost took full effect on her.

In Season 2 Episode 134, Lyra gets into an quarrel with Shon for not following her orders of double-checking the place where Shon last saw Ian and compared him to the old Shon which annoyed siren Shon. She later apologizes to him when the trio reunited and got a hold of Frey's boat.

In Season 2 Episode 180, Shon turns into sea foam, caused by getting strangled by Ophelia ( Aleah ).

In the last two episodes of Season 2 (the episode before the Series Finale and the Series Finale) Shon is turned back into a human, with all of his memories recovered. He later proposes to Lyra with Ian's help, and she accepts.

### Unnamed Daughter (with Shon)

In the Webtoon *Rewriting Extinction, Episode: Hope to our planet,* there is an image created by **Instantmiso** of Lyra holding a female infant that has auburn hair and blue eyes.

### Ian

Ian is the siren who kissed Lyra underwater after an event that left her heartbroken over Shon. Lyra gives him the name of Ian after her deceased pet goldfish (among other things), but hides this fact by only referring to it as a 'masculine and popular' choice. Due to a mishap during the exchange of a siren's heart for a human's in Season 1, Lyra and Ian possessed traits of both species. They decided to work together to find out more about this unusual situation. Her relationship with him develops greatly through the series.

At the start of Season 2, it is shown that Ian has some form of feelings for her, with his heart being broken upon seeing her kiss Shon. At the end of episode 88, he talks to her, then says, "I'm only selfish enough to do this"; thereby proceeding to kiss her. In the next episode, Lyra's reaction is shown to be tired and somewhat upset. Even so, she cares for Ian throughout the series. Her relationship with him develops.

When she received the news that Ian is kissed by another siren, she becomes devastated and takes the risk to split the curse to find Ian. When Lyra, Shon and Ian reunited, she was happy but was curious of why he still has his memories, revealing (and concealing some information)￼ that the Poseidon returned his memories on the condition Lyra reveals her true self as the Poseidon's sister, which confuses her.

When she knew that the Poseidon can control the emotions of other sirens (that unknown to her the Poseidon put a spell on Ian to keep in touch with him) she vows to Ian that she will protect him and make her payback tenfold if the Poseidon hurts him.

Later, towards the end of the series, Ian asks Lyra for her thoughts on what she would feel if she ever met Emila, her mother. Lyra tells him that while she would love to meet her mother, she knows that there will never be a mother/daughter relationship between them. This is because of the siren's curse, and Emila, when returned to being human, would be Lyra's age. Lyra tells Ian that if she ever did meet Emila, she would just want to be friends with her.

### Kori

Kori is Lyra's best friend from childhood and both of them have always stuck up for one another. Over the years growing up, they told each other everything. This includes Lyra's crush on Kori's brother, Shon, as seen in Ep. 1 of the series. They have an opposite kind of relationship, Kori being energetic, loud, and dramatic and Lyra being shy and quiet.

Kori affectionately nicknames Lyra as "Lyly."

### Hona (Granny)

Although Lyra talks about her often, it was uncertain whether or not she was alive until Ep. 26. Hona may have had a significant other at one point in her life, but has never mentioned this to Lyra. Instead, she looks away solemnly whenever Lyra asks her about it.

### Aleah

At the beginning of the story Aleah use Shon as her source of immortality. Her speculation of Lyra being her sister's reincarnated self was because of Lyra's mysterious aura (which she probably inherit by being with Hona or because of the counter curse Hona put on her as a baby) and this only proved her speculation when Lyra accidentally took the Hestia's Heart, the yellow amulet, from Crim.

She was Ian's target to help turn him and Lyra back into humans, but Lyra didn't want Ian to do this unless she said to herself that she wanted a new life.

Lyra attempted to become friends with Aleah by asking her to go out shopping with her sometime, but Aleah declined, saying she doesn't want friends. Later on, it's revealed that Aleah is the Poseidon and is plotting to get revenge on Lyra, thinking she was her sister, who was really Hona.

### Emila

Although Lyra and Emila never formally met, a flashback from Hona's perspective demonstrates that Emila is indeed her birth mother despite the fact that she never wanted to have a baby. At the time of Lyra's birth, Emila was a siren; causing the latter to turn into sea foam after bringing her child into the world as she didn't have the ability to do so naturally. Unfortunately, this caused Emila to die before meeting her newborn daughter. She also spent a lot of time around Kai or who we now know as Ian when she was married to her somewhat abusive husband.

Later, towards the end of the series, Ian asks Lyra for her thoughts on what she would feel if she ever met Emila, her mother. Lyra tells him that while she would love to meet her mother, she knows that there will never be a mother/daughter relationship between them. This is because of the siren's curse, and Emila, when returned to being human, would be Lyra's age. Lyra tells Ian that if she ever did meet Emila, she would just want to be friends with her. This turns out to be true, after InstantMiso released some epilogue skits, which included Emila meeting Lyra (though Emila appears to call herself Amy now). Because of how similar they look, and how they appear to be the around the same age, Emila thinks Lyra is her sister. Lyra, although knowing Emila is her biological mother, goes along with it, and accepts Emila as her sister. Later, in another skit, Emila is shown to be hanging out with Lyra, Kori, and Pele.
