Lyra brushed her purple hair as she sat in from of her mirror, humming quietly to herself. She was pleased at how much it had grown since she had come to the academy though it made her homesick when she looked at it. This was her nightly routine so that her hair would grow long so she could be a proud Kirin like her parents would want. She couldn't think of having short hair like her brother, Nyx. He seemed to be sort of a rebel. She sighed, setting down her brush and staring at her reflection. A lot had been on her mind recently. She needed a day off. A day to relax and think about the future."The future..." She filled her lungs with a swift inhale, releasing it after a few minutes hoping that it would ease her mind a little. She wandered from her mirror to settle into her bed, holding a plushie close. She knew she wanted to be a healer. She wanted to use her healing magic like so many Kirin before her that done but.... Was she just being pressured into doing it?
She shook her head, falling back on to her bed. She didn't want to doubt such a big decision, but she could always change later, right? But changing was the thing she didn't want to do.
No, this is what she wanted. She wanted to be praised for her abilities in healing people. She wanted her friends and family to be proud of her. Nyx and Vega would be excited to see her go down that path. They were the ones who cheered her on from the beginning. And all the practice she was doing was just making her better. She could do it! She didn't need to doubt herself! She would help so many people and everyone will be so happy and they'd get all fixed up!
