Lira (Roleplay canons)

**Lira** is the protagonist from the fantasy novel to Kill a Kingdom by Alexandra Christo. She has appeared in the Anyone want to Roleplay thread and has somehow managed to bond with the characters despite not understanding how to be a nice person a lot of the time. She is also known as the Prince's Bane in the book but in roleplay canons she hates the title as it reminds her of all the things she's done. She is the Queen of the Diavlo sea and the sirens and mermaids that live in it.

## **Personality**

Lira is always very serious and she doesn't understand a lot of the nice things good guys do, but even if she doesn't understand she still tries to. She does not believe it's possible for her to be fully redeemed as she is a siren and sirens are monsters. She's always ready for a fight with her staff and various other weapons hidden in her outfit just in case she needs to defend herself. She often acts a bit snobby and sometimes says harsh things without realizing they might be hurtful towards others. She also keeps a lot of her feelings to herself as she was raised to believe that they were useless.

## **Backstory**

**Lira's half of the book's summary**

Princess Lira is siren royalty and the most lethal of them all. With the hearts of seventeen princes in her collection, she is revered across the sea. Until a twist of fate forces her to kill one of her own. To punish her daughter, the Sea Queen transforms Lira into the one thing they loathe most—a human. Robbed of her song, Lira has until the winter solstice to deliver Prince Elian’s heart to the Sea Queen or remain a human forever.

**In the book**

Lira (aka The Princes' Bane) is the crown princess of Keto and a siren notorious for exclusively hunting princes of royal blood. When she kills a mermaid and fails to take Prince Elian's heart, she is punished by her mother, the Sea Queen, with the loss of her fins and her siren song. After the events at the end of the book, she openly becomes the Sea Queen and the Sea Diavolos is considered the hundred-one realm and has a romance with Elian showing him her aquatic realm. She is eighteen years old. (Credit for this paragraph goes to her page on the To Kill a Kingdom wiki)

**Roleplay Canons and meeting the Precure**

The version of Lira that is used in the roleplay is the version fresh from the end of the book. The book ended with Lira and Elian's crew sailing off on some adventure, in roleplay canons they somehow ended up in the world of Precure. She became friends with the cures and is now trying to keep those friends.
