Name: Lyra Rhapsody

Nicknames/Name meanings: Lyra

Gender: Female

Age: 17

Race: Human

Arts: Dancing, Stamina

Character looks: Lyra is a normal height for her age, being at five feet, six inches, but she is rather petite and elegant looking. She’s rather strong due to the training Delia put her through and her constant dancing, and she can move like a gentle breeze through the leaves of a tree. She has aquamarine hair that grew to its length when she was with Sweet Rhapsody and couldn’t bear to cut it after which. Her green eyes are hidden behind her thick bangs and faint freckles still adorn her nose and cheeks.

Alignment: Neutral to good

Personality: Lyra is a very self-relying and sensible person. She hates when things go wrong and always blames herself for it, even if it wasn’t her fault. Usually very quiet, Lyra is constantly in the background and never the center of attention, and she likes it that way.

History: Lyra was born as an only child in a happy family of her, her mother and her father until she was kidnapped by a band of thieves that lived beyond the mountains when she was eight years old. As she was only eight, she quickly warmed up to the band of thieves, called Sweet Rhapsody, as her new family. Sweet Rhapsody consisted of only females, and they occasionally kidnapped young girls from either side of the mountains to be feared and more importantly, to keep the band “eternally youthful”. Their leader, Delia, took Lyra under her wing and taught her everything she knew about combat and how to use her prized possessions; a pair of large, steel fans. For years, Lyra lived with the thieves and mimicked nearly everything Delia did until that day, the day Lyra hates to talk about, hates to remember.

Delia had sent Sweet Rhapsody down to the village of which Lyra’s parents lived to retrieve more girls when they were attacked by the law enforcers that protected the village. They killed all of the thieves who were sent and tracked Delia down in the base and promptly killed her. Lyra was only twelve at the time, so when they found her trembling behind a pile of stolen wares, they collected her and everything else – including Delia’s steel fans – and took everything back down the mountain and into town, where they reunited Lyra with her parents, but after four years of living with her mentor and a band of ‘reckless and ruthless thieves’, Lyra never really grew close to her parents in the next five years.

One day, as Lyra was contemplating going to the other side of the mountains to make a living there, she received a letter from Mirandal, and school that would accept her instead of shun her, as her village had. Taking up its offer, Lyra quickly packed away her meager possessions and Delia’s steel fans and ran away to Mirandal.

Weaponry/Armor: Two steel fans, smoke bombs, four steel knives

Items carrying: A bag full of her personal possessions from her village and Sweet Rhapsody, Two steel fans

Battle skills/Magic powers:
1-Dance of Blades- Lyra’s primary attack, Dance of blades is a rather simple move, but it’s also quite effective. It begins as Lyra opens her fans and holds them vertically at an arms length away. After whispering a few choice incantations into them, she takes a step forward and slices the air faster and faster until they’re a silver and blue blur. Any enemy that gets remotely near her fans will be sliced to pieces. The only flaw in this move is that it takes a while to start up.
2- Vaporial Evanesce- A defensive move, Lyra only uses this to escape from an enemy that she can’t handle. Lyra’s uses her fans to conceal her throwing her smoke bombs, she when she throws them, it looks as if they’re coming from her fan and not her hands.
3- Unnamed- A little something that Lyra made up one day while practicing, this attack begins with Lyra closing her fans and swinging them, using the steel to inflict damage to the enemy.

Character flaws: Lyra isn’t a very social person, and it seems she’s become even more withdrawn since Delia’s death. Lyra also has a few self-esteem issues that she refuses to get worked out.
