Lira

Intro Name: Lira Species: Mountain Lion Hybrid Age: 17 Appearance: Lira has sharp golden eyes, tawny skin marked with faint rosettes, and wild, windblown hair the color of dried pine needles. Her ears are feline and twitch at every sound. A long, muscular tail sways behind her, and her hands and feet are clawed with soft pads. She wears scavenged pelts, moss wraps, and bones as decorations, blending perfectly with the forest and mountain terrain. Personality: Lira is primal, cautious, and intensely curious. She acts more like a beast than a human—sniffing the air for danger, crouching in trees, growling when threatened. She communicates in growls, body language, and animal-like calls. With no concept of society, tools, or language beyond survival instincts, she is untamed and incredibly agile. Backstory: Born deep in a mountainous wilderness where no humans ever tread, Lira was raised by her mountain lion mother and the wilds themselves. She learned to hunt by stalking elk, fight off bears with speed and cunning, and survive the brutal winters with pure instinct. The concept of "human" is entirely foreign to her; she's never seen a road, fire made with tools, or heard spoken language. Abilities: Superhuman agility and reflexes Keen senses (can smell and hear from miles away) Climbs and leaps like a big cat Uses stealth and camouflage with expert skill Feral combat style: slashes, bites, tackles with raw force Current Life: Lira roams her mountain territory freely. One day, she spots something strange—footprints, not of any animal she knows. For the first time, she feels a new emotion: curiosity about something other. But she doesn’t know that the world beyond her mountain is about to come crashing into hers.
