Lyra (pronounced as Leerah) was born on 1752, she lived with her parents in the blessed moon glade until she was 21 (present). Her grandparents, Eli and Pascal Nyx lived through the destruction of Athera where they were forced to flee towards Vailor. They were able to settle down for a couple years despite the battles against the Warhawkes, until the volcano Khel’igne erupted. After this they finally were able to find a home in Arcas, where Lyra’s mother was adopted by Eli and Pascal as a little elf (they could not get pregnant due to the curse and Selene -Lyra’s mother- needed a home). Neither Eli, Pascal or Selene know why Selene didn’t have a home as a baby, therefore it’s simply an unknown factor, but unimportant as it didn’t affect her remaining life. Her mother Selene and her father Inge taught her swordplay since she was young (as it’s accustomed); Selene would usually dedicate her time to making swords for clients, while Inge would create beautiful granite and marble sculptures to sell to merchants and collectors. She decided to move to Renelia to stay closer to her friend Ember Austrum. She carries a pocket knife tied to a piece of cloth, her mother gave her and Ember the knives just in case any one tried to harm them they could defend themselves. She met Ember during a trip to Renelia, in the centre of the town where Ember was drawing figures in the ground with a piece of charcoal, she was intrigued with her skill and introduced herself; ever since then they’ve been close friends.
