Vega Lyrae

**Vega Lyrae** is one of the main characters of Proxima Luminous. She is the alpha-star of the Lyra constellation.

## Appearance

Vega takes appearance of a young petite girl; her skin has a blue hue and her round eyes are purple with pink and blue alpha marks in them. Her hair is a mix of dark blue and purple with light blue highlights, when down, reaches her shoulder blades. Usually it's ends are turned upwards on both sides, with the fringe covering Vega's forehead. The right side of her bangs holds the lyre hairpin.

Her normal outfit consists of a light blue dress with a white trim, purple waistband, neckline and shoulder straps. From the waist flairs a semi-transparent purple skirt layer that is trimmed with a purple ribbon. The off-shoulder straps are made from the same fabric, attached to the bodice, which holds her asterism mark. On the neckline are three gems - pink, green and yellow - with gold rings around each. On her feet Vega wears purple flats with two straps around her ankles.

Vega's true form is slightly taller, with longer hair that falls in waves down onto her shoulders. She also has longer legs and fuller chest in this form, noticeable due to her dress staying the same.

## Personality

Vega is an easygoing person, looking for fun to be had in every situation. Ever the optimist, she tries to find positives in everything and is friendly to (almost) everyone. However, she has very high standards for people she deems trustworthy enough to be her actual friends. Because of her carefree behavior, Vega can appear childish - and her petite physical form doesn't help ease those claims. However, this carefree attitude also leads to her being airheaded and forgetful. She has a relatively small attention span and can be easily distracted by her own fleeting thought. She can get exited over smallest of things, usually dragging her friends along (whether they want to or not doesn't matter). Despite that, she's very attuned to emotions of others and knows when she needs to slow down on her antics and give people space. She is a good listener and her age lets her give some wisdom to those in need of advice. Some say she is the embodiment of a big sister (or a mom).

She may come across as nice, innocent, and perfect, but when you piss her off, Vega unleashes that secret dark side that every mom has. She's also a master of the eyes in the back of her head. Angry Vega focuses only on her target and won't give up until her rage is quelled or until something more important/interesting distracts her. She becomes sarcastic and spiteful and will never forget those who have wronged her, bringing up the conflicts she has with those people as a bite-back. But even so, her appreciation for her friends is her weakness. Because of her past, Vega decides to stay out of most personal conflicts the others have (if it doesn't involve her), especially when it comes to relationships. Her main argument is that she can't give advice on something she doesn't understand herself.

## Relationships

#### Umi Astra

From their first meeting, Vega has shown herself as an older sister/mother type figure, fussing about Umi's wellbeing and wanting to get her home to warm up. She is friendly and patient, immediately trying to calm her down even though they were both shocked that Umi knew her name, and easing her into an interaction with boys. Further on Vega took on the role of Umi's caretaker.

#### Deneb Cygnus

Vega sees Deneb as her younger brother, only referring to him as "Dennie" (unless she is serious). She never misses an opportunity to poke fun or embarrass him, which often results in petty arguments. Vega usually comes out on top simply because of her age and experience, though Deneb is able to get some jabs at her sometimes. Their jokes can get a bit too far and into the "offensive" category or lead to dumb bets. Despite that, Vega is very protective of Deneb, always ready to throw hands if she hears any kind of slander going his way. However, she doesn't let herself get involved in his personal issues, opting to watch from the sidelines and simply offer advice as his former guardian. It should be noted, also, that she specifically chooses to speak in a way similar to his and unlike Altair's "fancy" patterns.

#### Altair Aquila

Vega and Altair have a close relationship and they have been friends for a very long time. They are polar opposites in personality - Vega's chipper attitude is in stark contrast to Altair's calm and serious vibe. However, they have shown to be completely comfortable around each other and are often together during their daily activities. Altair doesn't seem to mind Vega's happy-go-lucky attitude and in fact encourages it, choosing to flow with whatever crazy idea she has next. Vega trusts his judgement in return, but isn't above poking fun at his oddities. In Chapter 4 and 5 it is revealed that they used to be engaged for two days, which led to them being best friends after the arrangement was mutually called off. Neither seems to think much of it, as Vega explains the situation matter-of-factly.

### Lyrae family

#### Sheliak

Sheliak is Vega's younger brother as well as beta, and she heavily relies on him to keep their family running. Vega loves her brother, but is not above picking fights with him over petty things (like playing a harp even though they are lyres).

#### Dabi and Dabbi

Vega is close with her younger sisters. She supports them in their thrive to be stylists and uses their skills to her advantage, which they are happy to do. Vega usually calls them in by whistling. The Double-Double twins were formed out of stardust from Vega's cut hair.

## Trivia

-Vega had the biggest personality changes out of the main cast. She was originally supposed to literally be a 5 year old, who loves everyone and clings to Altair. \*shudders\* Good thing I changed *that* completely.

-Vega makes all of her outfits herself.

-She also had a hand in many outfits of other characters. The semi-transparent fabric is her signature, and if it's used - 97% chance the clothes were made by Vega.

-Vega's birthday - October 19th - is a national Harp Day
