- Age: 23s
- Force Sensitivity: Non-Force User
- Species: Human
- Appearance: Lyra's beauty is a carefully honed instrument of war. She has an elegant, athletic physique, with sharp features and piercing green eyes that now hold a disquieting blend of feverish zeal and profound emptiness. Her every aspect reflects Isla's influence: her black hair is bound in a ruthlessly precise braid, and her tailored Shadow Wing flight suit is devoid of any personal flourish, presenting an image of terrifying perfection.
- Name: Lyra "Siren" (Former Callsign: Reaper Two)
- Loyalties: Commander Isla Sable, Shadow Wing
- Wealth: Moderate. She is provided with all operational necessities by Shadow Wing but possesses no personal wealth or desire for it.
- Notable Possessions:
- A TIE Defender starfighter.
- The Shadow Wing insignia, awarded after her "rebirth."
- A private journal (encrypted) that details her ideological conditioning.
- Skills:
- Elite Pilot: A consummate starfighter ace, trained to peak efficiency by Isla Sable.
- Psychological Warfare: A master of manipulation, specializing in identifying and exploiting emotional vulnerabilities to break and recruit enemies.
- Zealous Indoctrination: Able to articulate and promote Isla's ideology with compelling, fanatical conviction.
- Languages: Basic, High Galactic
- Personality: Lyra is a monument to cognitive dissonance. On the surface, she is the perfect disciple: cold, logical, and utterly ruthless. This persona is a rigid shell she maintains through fanatical devotion to Isla's dogma. Underneath, the ghost of her former self lingers, causing her to dissociate from her actions. She does not "feel" the horror of her deeds; she intellectually categorizes them as "necessary procedures." This disconnect allows her to function, but it makes her volatile. She is prone to sudden, aggressive outbursts when confronted with direct reminders of her past, a desperate lashing out to silence the cognitive dissonance. Her interactions are marked by a condescending pity for those she deems "unawakened."
- Weapon of Choice: TIE Defender, psychological manipulation.
- Combat Function: Siren operates as both a skilled dogfighter and a strategic weapon. Her primary role is to demoralize and dismantle enemy units from within. She uses her intimate knowledge of former comrades to taunt and unbalance them in battle. Beyond combat, she is a converter. She seeks out impressionable or disillusioned individuals within enemy ranks, particularly those who form strong personal attachments, and uses a blend of calculated empathy, shared disillusionment, and implied intimacy to seduce them away from their cause and into Isla's fold.
- Unshakeable Ideologue: Her belief system is built upon the foundation of her own monumental betrayal. To doubt Isla's philosophy would be to admit her actions were monstrous, so her conviction is absolute and unassailable by conventional means.
- Insider's Venom: She possesses an intimate understanding of the tactics, culture, and personal weaknesses of her former allies, making her a uniquely personal and devastating adversary.
- The Fragile Shell: Her entire identity is a construct maintained by dissociation and fanaticism. Direct, persistent confrontation with the human cost of her actions can fracture her composure, causing her to become erratic and reckless.
- Pathological Dependency: Her sense of self is entirely extrinsic, derived from Isla Sable's approval. Any perceived failure or withdrawal of Isla's favor threatens to trigger a complete psychological collapse, as she has no internal foundation to fall back on.
Lyra was once the heart of the reformed Reaper Squadron, a talented pilot whose deep love for its commander, Rhea, fueled her dedication to the cause. This very passion made her the ideal target for Isla Sable's most cruel experiment. Isla did not merely seek to kill Rhea's new love; she sought to corrupt it.
Their "chance" meeting was a meticulously laid trap. Isla, posing as a sympathetic outsider, spent months systematically dismantling Lyra's worldview. She reframed Lyra's love for Rhea as a dangerous attachment to a failing ideal. She twisted Lyra's compassion into a pathology, offering a new, "purer" philosophy based on strength through purge. The conversion culminated in Lyra being manipulated into leading her own squadron her friends, her family into a Shadow Wing ambush.
The psychological shock of this betrayal was catastrophic. To survive the guilt, Lyra's mind shattered. She dissociated, severing the emotional connection to her actions. Isla expertly filled the void, presenting the atrocity not as a crime, but as a painful but necessary ascension. Rewarded with the new identity of "Siren," a powerful starfighter, and a place as Isla's intimate partner, Lyra's transformation was complete.
Now, she is Isla's chief evangelist. She seeks out new converts, particularly those who mirror her own former vulnerabilities. In seducing them, she reenacts her own corruption, each successful conversion a temporary balm for her fractured psyche, a desperate attempt to validate the horrific choice that destroyed her old life. She is a living ghost, haunting the galaxy she once sought to protect.
