Information

Lyra (ライラ) was an adventurer of the Astraea Familia. She was the reincarnation of the former deputy leader of the Fianna Knights, Helga.

Appearance[]

Lyra had medium length pink hair. Like all Pallums, she had an endearing and lovable look, and Ryuu mentions that she always had a sly smile.

Personality[]

Lyra was shown to have a contrary personality, along with a rough way of speaking, and she was blunt and unreserved. Despite being seemingly incompatible with Elves, she was the second person Ryuu usually visited to discuss her worries, and her opinion was held in high regard within the familia. She had a habit of saying "learn everything and use anything", believing that knowledge was a weapon that would help people, even if it was unnecessary knowledge, adding that it was better to know something than nothing at all.

She was proud of her dyed hair, stating it was awesome. She was openly vulgar, jokingly mentioning that it was Ryuu's "time of the month" when the latter was told off by Alise for not paying attention.

She taught Ryuu how to see through lies, negotiate by blackmailing, intimidation, how to win at gambling, and how to cheat, stating that one needed to know how the villains acted to catch them.

History[]

Lyra was born without a name to two Pallum inmates in a prison. She grew up without a family and had a difficult life. She named herself Lyra and received falna from a god there. Eventually she was able to leave the prison and sometime after she joined the Astraea Familia as their third member.

Although they suffered various hardships at first, Lyra and her familia were able to quickly rise and prosper, gaining fame and recognition. She reached Level 3 when she was 16 years old after defeating Alfia along with the rest of her familia during the Great Feud.

Five years ago the Astraea Familia was caught in a trap set inside the dungeon by the Rudra Familia. Although they managed to survive, the resulting damage caused the Juggernaut to spawn, which began killing everyone present. Lyra sacrificed herself along with Alise and Kaguya to finish off the monster and allow Ryuu to survive.

Abilities[]

Astuteness: Lyra was known for how cunning she was, being adept at strategizing by exploiting her opponent's weaknesses. Her strategies sometimes resorted to dirty tricks and cowardly tactics, even fleeing if the situation warranted it. She also had very good analytical skills, being able to decipher the characteristics of Alfia's magic.

Despite her lack of physical qualities, her resourcefulness made her an important part of her Familia. On top of that, she was recognized as someone with great potential, something that even Finn recognized was undeniable.

Enhanced Senses: After receiving her falna, Lyra's senses sharpened significantly, becoming better than those of a normal person. As a Pallum, her eyesight was particularly good, having been much better than most people even before obtaining her falna, to the point of allowing her to see even in the dark.
