## History

### Early Life

When Lyra was 14 years old, her parents kicked her out, leaving her homeless. A short time later, Lyra was recruited to her crime group by a 'Mr Shedo' in exchange for security. When she reached high school, she masqueraded as a Dutch exchange student 'Pippi Roseblaid'. She soon met Callum Nilson by saving him from a mugging. He'd then invite her to his debate club, as at the time he was scouted to be The Ultimate Debater. However, just before he would attend Hope's Peak Academy, he would go missing at the hands of Mr Shedo, so Lyra forged documents to take Callum's place at Hope's Peak. A few months in, her forgery was exposed, and she was forced to act as a double agent. She also met Sachiko and Takiko Ushina at some point during a drug deal, dating Sachiko soon after. However, her affection for the sisters got them targeted by Mr Shedo, who killed Sachiko and hired Takiko as a "little sister for hire" a year before the killing game.

### Killing Game

#### Prologue

Lyra wakes up in the same room as Rei Higashi, and the pair would presumably explore together before they're all called to the lecture hall. Along with Rei, Lyra bursts in while acting with Rei that they're parents by the names of "Jeremy" and "Stacy", acting out an argument and roping in Kotaro Chishiki and Emilia Carmine as their children. The pair soon break character and laugh before Lyra sees Takiko, running and giving her a hug. She then leans up against the wall and gestures to Shinku Kutsuki to join her, introducing herself and explaining that she'd met Rei in the laboratory, but she'd known Takiko from before as her babysitter.

Once Shinku's introductions are finished, Mononeko would come out from behind the stage and inform them of the nature of the killing game; that all but one of them had committed a crime without due punishment, their imprisonment acting as rehabilitation. Lyra would soon leave the lecture hall. Later that night, Mononeko broadcasts the first trio of crimes to Lyra and the others, namely Ismene Circe's, Kotaro's and Mint Byrne's.

#### Chapter 1

The next morning, Lyra and Rei head to Shinku's dorm room to invite him to a communal breakfast in the dining hall. They leave him no choice but to come with them, and the trio soon arrive at the dining hall. When Ismene walks in, she is met with hostile conversation regarding her crime, and Lyra stays behind in the dining hall when Ismene, Dracul Tremblay and Shinku leave.

The next morning, Ismene invites the rest of the girls and Kotaro to the sterilisation room to perform a sacrifice to appease a god to fulfill their wishes. Lyra's wish is to see the stars. After the gathering, Lyra receives a motive video depicting someone close to her as a hostage.

The next afternoon, Lyra and the others were called to the lecture hall to be informed of a party Yui Aoide was throwing in the biodome. Lyra agrees to attend. Once at the tea party, Lyra and the others hear the sound of Ismene screaming, and Dracul runs off to investigate it. Lyra stays at the party and socialises with Rei and Takiko before passing out.

An unknown amount of time later, Lyra wakes up to find Dracul's corpse on the giant cake Kotaro had prepared. The Body Discovery Announcement goes off, and Ismene, Alora Asami, and Kiyoshi Ainara join the others. During the investigation, Lyra inspects Dracul's body and make mental notes to herself.

During the trial, Lyra initially believes Ismene to be Dracul's killer, but eventually votes for Maiko Yuzuki.

Before Maiko's execution, Mononeko reveals the next trio of crimes, Taka Takahiro's, Kiyoshi's and Maiko's. Once the broadcast showing them ends, Lyra is quick to point out how creepy Kiyoshi's actions are due to his crime.
