 It's really dark, isn't it? Let me light up the way...
 — Lahyt

**Lahyt** is the ghost of a moth girl who currently lives in the Rem Forest. She can often be seen hanging small lamps on the trees to light up the paths in order to keep travellers from getting lost during the night.

As a side hobby, if she happens to meet ghosts or other undead who wish to go into the Afterlife, she will guide those souls to Malice so he can send them away.

## **Appearance**

Lahyt is barely one meter tall and appears chubby due to her fur.

She's an oddity when it comes to ghosts, with her body being fully materialized, with the exception of her head which is a skull. Her skin appears to be dark brown and her fur is bright orange with dark brown exoskeleton fingers and toes.

She wears a furred dark brown dress with beige stripes, she has bright ghostly yellow wings and orange furry antennae.

Her heard is a literal skull and she has orange ectoplasm/fire hair in a bob cut, yellow eyes as well as orange neck fur.

## **Personality**

Despite her ghostly appearance, Lahyt is actually a very friendly and shy child. She worries about the well being of others and always tries to help travellers whenever she can, having the habit of following almost every stranger she meets, even if they are not the most trustworthy.

Although she can be naive, she also knows when it's time to leave those scary strangers alone.

She's very curious and enjoys striking conversation with others, but being a child, she finds it hard to get anyone to understand her. Despite a bit of a shy social butterfly personality, Lahyt is also easily spooked and tends to hide away when overwhelmed.

## **Abilities**

Unlike most ghosts, Lahyt is almost fully corporeal and doesn't seem to have much control over her material form. Being a moth, Lahyt is capable of flying and can often be seen doing a mix of frolic and flying.

In death, she gained the odd ability to summon small flames from her fingers. Fortunately, she only uses this to light up the lamps she carries, but she has no problem using those same abilities if she feels threatened.

## **Relationships**

Being a ghost who roams the forest, most inhabitants have encountered her at least once, so she knows pretty much everyone.

### **Malice**

Malice is Lahyt's closest friend and acts almost like her guardian.

He was the Reaper in charge of sending her to the Afterlife, but after she befriended him, he allowed her to stick around the living world for a while longer while adopting a protective role over her.

She started to follow him wherever he went, and the two ended up developing a cute friendship, with Malice usually looking out for her and keeping her out of trouble, as well as helping her with her little lamp project.

Lahyt sees him as this kind of big brother figure and trusts him a lot.

### **Root**

Lahyt hasn't encountered the large Tree Reaper all that often but can't help but to feel intimidated when she sees him. But... If Malice trusts him, so does she. Even if she feels scared of him.

### **Zelly**

Lahyt is quite fond of the funny girl with the weird living scarf. Zelly enjoys her company and often indulges Lahyt in conversation when seeing her.

Zelly often has her head in the clouds and is prone to getting lost, so Lahyt usually helps her out with finding her way back.

### **Iron**

Lahyt has encountered him a few times during his walks in the forest at night and has followed him to chat a few times. He's usually friendly and responsive, but she can tell he gets a bit spooked by her ghostly presence.

### **Blade**

She feels... Weirdly intimidated by him. He's easily spooked but in a more aggressive way, so she doesn't usually approach him as often. He does recognize her when she sees him, and will sometimes allow himself to be followed, but he isn't usually the chatty type.

She still follows him regardless, she can tell they both don't like the dark.

## **Backstory**

Lahyt was a young moth Drimare child who died in a tragic fire related accident. When she died, her spirit roamed the forest for a while but became extremely afraid of the darkness and solitude, and as such, she began hanging up lamps on the forest so she wouldn't be as afraid.

Her ghost was eventually found by Malice, one of the forest's Reapers, who intended to send her into the Afterlife. Lahyt wasn't quite ready to go yet because who else was going to light up the dark forest? She ended up befriending the Reaper instead, who allowed her to stick around until she felt ready to go.
## **Trivia**

	+ Despite not having a jaw, AND being a ghost, she is still able to eat. It's unknown how she does it.
		- Basically, if you look at her, she won't eat but the moment you turn your head away and look back at her, she just ate half the food on the plate.
* She is nocturnal and is rarely up during the day.
* Her skull thematic is a direct reference to the Death Head Hawk Moth which is known for having a marking on it's back resembling that of a human skull.
* Lahyt guiding the souls to Malice the Reaper is meant to be a reference to the expression *"Follow the light"*
