---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strengths:
- Survivor - Cast out onto the streets at a young age, Lyra quickly learned that the world was not a beautiful place. No, it was filled with people. Learning to do what was required to stay alive, stay warm at night, stay fed... these were all things she was forced to learn at a young age. Because of her troubled beginnings, she has become quite resilient, able to take bumps and bruises and get dirty without any hesitation.
- Nimble - Scrambling between tightly packed crowds and fitting into industrial vents comes as second nature to the tawny teen, her slim figure and tenacity giving her an edge when it comes to fitting into small spaces and ducking between legs, Lyra is adept. Her agile and quick reflexes have gotten her out of a jam more than once.
- Committed - Extremely stubborn, once Lyra sets her mind on something she is not likely to let it go. Always striving to mean what she says, she is careful to promise but when she does there is little that will stop her from following through. As an orphan she's had her fair share of dust-ups and scraps with other street dwellers and she's learned how to fight, at least with her fists.
- Stubborn - In the same stroke that Lyra is committed, she is also stubborn. This can be a strength as it allows her to push past normal limits to achieve her goals but can also be a weakness as she is reluctant to give up, even if the odds are stacked against her. Only in the interest of survival is she willing to concede and even then it is only out of necessity.
- Distrustful - Due to her early life she has difficulty trusting anyone, even rarer does she truly call anyone a friend. Naturally suspicious of everyone she is cautious and unlikely to believe something without seeing it for herself. This keeps her from being conned but also influences her social life.
- Untrained - Because she has raised herself from childhood, her force sensitivity has not been utilized in any major way. She understands that she is different, and the basic concept of force sensitivity but beyond that he abilities choose to manifest themselves at their own whim and fancy. This can be helpful at times, almost as if the Force is intuitive, at other times this can be particularly dangerous. She has a much more practical understanding of the Force as opposed to an idealistic view at this time.
- Social Engineer - To her, people are typically assets, tools to be used to get what she wants or needs. As she is distrustful, Lyra does not find a particular interest in friends. She sees others as unreliable and unworthy of her trust. Despite that she is adept at observing people, seeing how they react to certain situations and able to talk her way into and out of situations that might leave others caught or exposed.
- Of low status - Of particularly low status, the illegitimate daughter of a streetwalker, she is looked down upon by most, if they look at all. This drives prices of goods up for her as merchants would rather not deal with her. Despite this, she is usually able to come up with the cost of the inflated goods.
- Reduced Physical Stature - Lyra is nimble and strong, but she could easily be physically outmatched, it's why her skills reside in being lightweight and quick. This makes her more susceptible to blunt force trauma than a person of larger frame might experience at the receiving end of a physical strike.
- Pyrophobia - Due to a galvanizing experience as a young child that left deep emotional and psychological scars, she is deathly afraid of fire. Over time the fear has subsided somewhat but if pressed into a situation where she occupies space close to open flame she can be overcome with fear and go into a panicked state.
Lyra is a tawny young brunette. Her fair skin is accented with light freckles, barely noticeable. Amber, almost orange eyes peer out from beneath locks of dark brown hair, usually worn down in addition to a braid. Generally she is covered in some form of dirt or grime due to her living conditions, easily marking her as an 'undesirable'. At seventeen years of age she is capable of appearing much younger, in part to her naturally youthful complexion but also in part to her behavior, a product of her self-upbringing.
BIOGRAPHY:
Lyra remembers little before the fire. A young girl of only eight at the time, Lyra distinctly remembers the day her life changed... but changed from what? It was as if her mind had cordoned off that part of her memory. Her earliest memories are of the week after the fire that consumed her life, the fire that killed her mother. Cold, wet, alone. She'd managed to escape the fire but she wasn't sure how. Minor burns on her arms and hands had healed within the first day. By the third day, hunger drove her from the small hidden alcove she'd curled up in near a small spaceport. Hiding in some of the maintenance areas she had her own little private place to sleep, away from the dangers of the night and inside from the cool night breeze. Living off of scraps at first, liberating leftover food from some of the larger trash compactors she was able to survive. Over the course of the next nine years she would not only survive, but flourish. Still a loner, but she knew people and people knew of her. Times have changed, now she roams the streets but not as the innocent little child she once was but as a wolf.
Lyra had been hesitant at first and tried befriending those who lived in the streets but that had proven a mistake. A mistake she hadn't made since. The streets were no place for a girl, especially one of her age but she survived and pushed forward. She still stayed to herself but life had become much easier after the first few years as she learned both her place and slowly grew into her abilities. Sometimes, in moments of silence she would wonder why she had been saved... whathad saved her but she knew. As she had grown older, strange things began happening around her, unexplained occurrences, she was able to almost see things before they happened as if everything was moving in slow motion. It wasn't consistent but she had learned to trust her instincts, if that's what they were. She had no doubt it had to do with her strange abilities but beyond that Lyra hadn't a clue. Still living on the streets at 17, she finally has saved enough money to buy herself a ticket to just about anywhere... where will she go? Who will she become?
