Celestial Form As a daughter of Syna, Alyra appears bright and beautiful during the day. Warmth flows through the waves of her hair, flourishing around her spiraled horns. Most days she lets these locks hang freely down to her shoulder blades, preferring not to deal with pain that came from untangling the thick curls. Her eyes are a solid steel blue, with a coloring so consistent that it looks as though her eyes were filled in with a bucket of paint. She stands at 6 feet 2 inches, and weighs roughly 150 pounds. Alyra thru the Seasons : Mortal Seeming When Syna leaves the sky and night falls, Alyra looks like any other human being. The glints of sunshine fall from her features, leaving her hair a darker shade of brunette and her eyes a deep brown. She is shorter, standing at 5 feet 6 inches, and much lighter, weighing in at around 115 pounds. Her skin looks slightly tighter on the bones than normal, giving her a somewhat malnourished appearance.

Concept Alyra, unlike many of her Ethaefal kin, has a pleasant view when it comes to her descent. She believes that she was sent back for a purpose, that her goddess had put her into the mortal world in order to make some positive change. To Alyra, this positive change comes in the form of knowledge. Alyra loves to learn; be it fishing or singing, drawing or hunting...the skill itself doesn't matter. It is the process of learning itself that intrigues her. And though her appetite for knowledge is unappeasable, Alyra's desire to teach and help others is even more demanding. Alyra will always, without a doubt, put the happiness of others above herself; she views it as helping others get to the same level of peace that she herself was at when in the spirit state. She is, consequently, naïve, often choosing to see only the good side of things rather than the whole picture. Even after someone's darkest side has revealed itself to her, Alyra still will hold onto optimism. Though many Ethaefal choose to worship solely Syna or Leth, Alyra has chosen to also worship Eyris, the goddess of knowledge. This is not hindering her worship of Syna. Rather, it is enhancing her love for the goddess by allowing her so enlighten others through the spread of knowledge.

What is your height? Tallish. 5. What is your weight Averageish. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. Tallish, with long hair. Light haired during the day, dark haried at night. When in my earthbound form, I think I'm a bit too thin...I look starved. I think my eyes are always wide, sort of like an owl. Then there's the horns...yeah. They're there. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. "Wow, you have horns . . ." Basically, that's it. 3. What is your favorite body feature? --- 4. How physically fit are you? I mean, I can easily run to work when I'm late. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style?
