Lyra the Sprite

Character Concept: Lyra the Sprite Species: Forest Sprite (a close cousin of elves, born from the essence of ancient trees) Appearance: Short, delicate frame, often mistaken for younger than they really are. Messy pale-green hair with streaks of gold that shimmer in sunlight. Long pointed ears tipped with glowing freckles that shift color with mood. Oversized cozy clothes (often sweaters or tunics that slip past their hands), preferring comfort over style. Barefoot most of the time, their footsteps leave behind faint glowing footprints that fade after a few seconds. Personality: Shy, awkward, and often flustered when put in unfamiliar situations. Extremely curious about human inventions and cities, but easily overwhelmed by crowds and noise. Has a mischievous side: when they feel comfortable, they love pranks, like making plants tangle around people’s ankles. Struggles with confidence—wants to be braver, but usually runs and hides when things get too intense. Abilities: Plant Whispering: Can make flowers bloom instantly, vines grow, and small roots entangle objects. Sprite Step: Quick, nimble movement that lets them slip through tight spaces or vanish into foliage. Lightburst: When frightened, their body glows brightly, blinding enemies for a few moments. Backstory: Lyra was born in an ancient forest where the trees raised them as their own. Curious about the outside world, they wandered into a nearby town one day, only to find themselves caught in situations they barely understood. Though naive, Lyra is determined to explore and learn, even if it means blushing, stumbling, and hiding half the time. Signature Outfit: A long pastel-green hoodie with a golden leaf emblem over the chest, always slightly too big for them. They keep a small pouch tied to their waist with seeds, herbs, and forest trinkets.
