Lyrae Quick Info Race: Ethaefel, Daughter of Leth Gender: Female Physical Age: Early Twenties Date of Fall: Season of Spring, Day 23, 511 AV Fallplace: Lahvit Appearance During the day, in her Mortal Seeming, Lyrae's hair is a deep mocha brown shade, straight and thick which she keeps tame by two braids pulled to the sides of her face. Her skin is a light caramel hue with slight golden undertones, smooth and supple and bright. Her eyes are a soft shade of violet, framed by thick lashes that cast shadows on her cheeks. Her lips are fully formed and soft looking, her teeth straight and small and pearly white. Her four hands are dexterous and long fingered with nails she keeps short and neatly trimmed. Her 5' 9" body is slender and long limbed. She could be considered beautiful with more adornment but she keeps her appearance simple and her eyes downcast. During the night she changes as a Daughter of Leth, her skin lightens as if the sun was being drained out of it, a ethereal sheen taking the place of the golden undertones. Her eyes become a more voluminous shade of violet, glowing in the moonlight. Horns, 2 inches thick in diameter at the base, grow from her temples curling around her brows and framing her cheeks and taper to a point in front her ears and right along the back of her jaw. Her hair and horns change color depending on the season. In Spring, her hair is a dusky lavender gray, her horns a pure glowing white. In Summer, her hair is a deep rich black, her horns a lemony yellowish green. In Fall, her hair turns a pale shimmering gold and her horns a pale pastel yellow. And in Winter, her hair shines silver and her horns are a near match for her violet eyes. Character Concept Lyrae is a shy and mild mannered woman. She thinks before she speaks and she loathes conflict. She is quick to smile and very sociable, she makes friends easily. Due to her own plight she is very empathetic towards others suffering and will often offer help in any way she can. However when the sun sets, she becomes an introvert, preferring to hide her celestial form from others. She is an artist at heart, and revels in all things beautiful although she keeps herself simply adorned. She is especially talented in sculpting, sewing and painting and many of her pieces feature some allusion to Leth or Zintilla and maybe occasionally Syna. She spends most of her time and money on making one of a kind pieces which she sold mostly in the Azure Market before she found an official job in Tain's Studio. She has a tendency to give away a trinket or doll to a child or so, being very fond of children. She is enthusiastic about learning about different forms of expression, whether they be other forms of visual art or dance or poetry, and is willing to try anything. Whenever she is not sculpting, painting or sewing she is visiting the Library, looking for a good book to read. Due to being caught in the height of female fertility, in her Common Seeming, Lyrae as an Eypharian in a former life has an excessive amount of pheromones causing nearly extreme bouts of embarrassment when she is approached by the opposite sex. Character History Before Lyrae ascended as a chosen of Leth, she was an Eypharian, living on the outskirts of Ahnatep with her mother and father. Her family lived by the sea and were wealthy, her father being a successful trader to many ports across Mizahar. Her family wasn't expressly religious, minor acknowledgements to Syna and Makutsi were strewn throughout the house but Lyrae, her Eypharian name forgotten, was always fascinated by the moon. At night she would find herself staring up at it, reveling in its softer beauty and the way it looked rippled in the river. So devout was she in her love for Leth that she was chosen to live with him in his realm when she died. In the beginning of the Spring season of 512 AV, Lyrae slipped through the crack in Leth's realm and fell into the Western Sea, close to the west coast near Lahvit. She was confused and scared as she swam for shore. She ended up near the Cosmos Center where she was calmed and given clothes to hide her naked body. After some talking, she was set up the Shooting Star inn while she figured out her next move. That night Lyrae wept over her separation from Leth. Over the next few weeks Lyrae wandered the city, getting to know its customs and the people. She moved about during the day mostly, her Mortal Seeming more comfortable to her than her celestial one and she didn't feel the pain of separation as acutely. More often than not, she found herself drawn to Tain's Studio and the art being created there. Somewhere along the line, Lyrae learned she had a natural affinity in the arts and she poured her sorrow and reverence for Leth into paintings and sculpting which she became especially good at. Location Lyrae moved out of the inn in the last month of Spring, 513 AV and set herself up in the Solar Wind Apartments. Her room is simple, consisting of a low comfortable bed, a suitable couch, a sturdy wooden desk, a rounded chair, an armoire where she kept her possessions and a hearth. Possessions 1 Set of Clothing Lyrae wears a simple lavender dress of simple soft cloth that gathers at the shoulders and drapes down to tickle her ankles. Around her waist she wraps an intricately braided rope of different colored silks, the scraps of silks being a gift from a traveler seasons ago. On days when she decides not to go barefooted, she wears a simple sturdy sandal that is kept in place by soft rope.
