(All credit goes to artist for Lyria's appearance)
Lyria is around seven inches above five feet.
Abilities: Lyria has a small affinity with Earth, which she mostly uses to grow the various herbs and plants in the garden that Queen Maeve had ordered to be built; some are used for food, others are used for healing, and a rare few are poisons, but they all have one thing in common: Every single one of them flourishes under Lyria’s care.
Maeve also ordered that Lyria be taught to defend herself; she now has a basic understanding of how to brandish a knife and fend off attackers with hand-to-hand combat.
History: When Lyria was a child, she fell in love with the little garden that her parents kept in their backyard. She tended to it with love and under her green thumb, it flourished - so much so that neighbors would come over to ask for some of Lyria’s vibrant flowers. As she grew into a young woman, Lyria realized that although she loved her little garden, she longed for more.
So she set out, tearfully saying goodbye to the parents that she loved so dearly, to find a place where she could have a garden of her own. Lyria arrived at Vanim, feeling a strange pull to the city of spiraling white buildings and a towering palace. There, she encountered Maeve, queen of the Vystrian Elves. Maeve asked Lyria if she had experience with growing plants, and when Lyria said yes, the queen’s expression morphed to one of delight. Instantly, Lyria found herself the large garden that she had been longing for her whole life and has been there ever since.
Personality: Lyria is very sweet, and she goes out of her way to help those in need no matter what. She also loves plants; learning about and growing new types of herbs, poisons, or flowers is her favorite hobby. Hybrids are common in her garden because of her love of experiments.
