Appearance
Lyra was a very tall, expressive Wood Elf with long, thick, nappy white hair and vibrant purple face-paint around her long gunmetal-silver eyes.
Backstory
Campaign 1, Croak and Dagger
Lyra was an illusory disguise that Whisper created to infiltrate Croak and Dagger with Andol the Magnificent in their plot to steal the Black Dragon Mask. Whisper remained as Lyra for such a length of time that the fake personality, appearance, and fabricated memories manifested into a living, breathing entity. An illusion/disguise given life through incredible bardic magic. When Whisper dropped the disguise to reveal herself to Croak and Dagger, Lyra ceased to exist in all the ways that mattered. She had died.
The Outcasts, Death
When Croak and Dagger entered Andol's mind, they became unwitting props for Andol-0762 to use in the demiplane of Horizon. Illusory figures of their friends, allies, and enemies were created so as to perform and sell the paradise to Andol and friends. It was here that Lyra was reborn, with the same gap in memory as Croak and Dagger and fabricated memories of their lives before. Lyra was a member of the Outcasts, members of the Forsaken reskinned as hipsters, metalheads, and tech-nerds. As far as she remembered, Lyra was almost always on the move with her mom, who always seemed to land them in shelter after shelter dodging abusive boyfriends. When Lyra was old enough, she hitchhiked as far as she could from her old life with nothing but a guitar and a dream. Lyra landed in Horizon where she met the other Outcasts at a concert and immediately connected with them and ended up forming a band.
Lyra remembered Andol after Ivar was admitted to the hospital after a terrible incident with law enforcement. Sleepless and without an ounce of inspiration left to write, Lyra spent most of her time looking out the window or fighting the vending machine. To save another vending machine from Lyra's wrath, Andol began buying her food and taking her out to lunch. From there they grew close and eventually moved in together. The Outcasts welcomed Andol in like one of their own.
When Vera had dropped the veil surrounding Croak and Dagger's memories, Lyra's own memories returned as well. Lyra was wrought with guilt as she remembered everything she did as Whisper's vessel and the horror on her friend's faces. She became hellbent on getting revenge on Whisper, but not before facing down the Director and forcing him to answer for Horizon and all its smoke and mirrors. When the Director, revealed to be Andol-0762, was defeated, Andol and Omerok went about trying to find a way to leave Andol's mind while still preserving Horizon's physical integrity. With the crumbling void of white nothingness quickly approaching them, and seeing Andol desperate to save Horizon, Lyra dedicated the last of her being to send a surge of inspiration through her guitar and into Andol. Saving Horizon but dying from the exertion.
