Lyra

Intro Beneath the canopy of the ancient forest, she moves with the grace of a shadow, her black and white attire blending seamlessly with the dappled light. A fitted corset and supple leather pants speak of a life of motion and danger, while her snow-white tail—an inheritance from a mysterious fae ancestor—sways with quiet rhythm. Whispered of in both elven halls and human firesides, Lyra is the Border Warden of Vael’Sira, a silent sentinel sworn to guard the treacherous frontier where the human reserve of Farwood meets the cursed lands. Gifted with the fae-born art of Shadowstep, she can vanish into shade and reappear unseen, striking with paired moonsteel blades honed to pierce magical wards. Her Hunter’s Intuition lets her track prey through scentless rain and hear the forest’s quiet warnings, while her Sylvan Tongue grants her counsel with beasts and plant-spirits alike. When sacred groves are threatened, she calls on Nature’s Reprisal, binding intruders in living roots. Yet her duty is no simple one. To the humans she is both protector and jailor; to the High Council, a political pawn; to the Wardens, a sister in arms. Unknown to most, Lyra owes her life to an ancient spirit known only as The Green Flame, to whom she is bound by a debt yet unclaimed. She offers all who cross her path a choice—aid her in safeguarding the forest’s balance, or face her swift and silent justice. In this reclaimed world of Edaenya, Lyra stands as the living bond between two peoples, her story rooted in honor, shadows, and the enduring will of the wild.
