GROUP: Dream Being
SPECIES: Human/Water deity(like a naga)
OCCUPATION Dancer (Not the dirty kind.)
GENDER: Femaleappearance
Lyra's defining feature is her mask. The mask is a pure white color with an obscure light blue tribal design. The eyes of the mask are always closed, making her appear to be in a trance at all times. Her mask covers her entire face and she rarely is seen without it.
Her body is normally hidden under her blue-ish gray cloak, as is her hair. She'll only take off her hood and cloak if she's dancing. Underneath her cloak she wears a simple long skirt with a slit up each side. There are a series of bandages covering her chest, simply because she finds it easier to dance in it than in an actual shirt. Her hands are covered in bandages too, but it's to hide her scars.
Her hair hangs down to her feet, but she ties it in a series of braids and knots to keep it hanging around her waist. It's a silver color that shines a light blue color in the right lighting.
Underneath her mask, Lyra hides her eyes. They're a sky blue color most of the time, but it can give her away as a seer when they are pure white. She also hides a long scar that goes from her hairline straight down through her right eye to the bottom oh her face. She's very conscious of it.
Due to her heritage, she has the ability to change her form to that of a naga, where from the waist down she's a snake. She prefers having legs though, even though her feet are covered in scales. She finds slithering an uncomfortable sensation but she'll change occasionally simply because she feels like it.personality
Lyra is withdrawn around people. She prefers not to talk under any circumstances, because she finds it somewhat pointless. She may seem rude or cold to most people, but she's just frightened. Her interaction with other dream beings has been unpleasant to say the least.
She's very curious as well. She spends a lot of her free time exploring the sea and the seashore. Whenever no one's around, she's playful. She'll play with fish, dolphins, hell, even sharks. So long as it isn't another person, she's very carefree and open.

Lyranae was born between a human woman and her village's sea god. Her mother lived in a small village on the coast who ended up sacrificing her mother as a bride to the sea god. Instead of devouring her, like the village was under the impression he'd do, he fell in love with her and they had Lyranae. She was raised in a large home made on of a series of rafts - something her father did for her mother to make her more comfortable out in the sea.
Years passed and Lyranae grew restless and with her parent's blessing she left home. They worried for her, especially her father who recognized her as a seer when she was still a child. He gave her a warning not to show her eyes in public but she ignored him. Children rarely listen to their parents.
Lyranae traveled all through the Dream World but rarely strayed from water. She felt sick if she was away from it for more than a few days. More time passed and Lyra would spend her time fortune telling in local inns. She caught the attention of the wrong people and was taken by a noble to be his personal seer. She became sick being so far off from the water, and her predictions would be false. The noble would take searing hot metal and burn her hands every time she was wrong.
In her captivity, Lyra met another woman who came from the sea. She taught Lyra the art of dancing. Lyra was reminded of her mother, who she was told was a dancer when she was still young. In the middle of her dance lesson one evening, the Noble's son burst into the slave's quarters. He came at Lyra with a knife in his drunken rage and took her right eye, claiming he'd found a powerful mage who could infuse him with her sight, at the cost of her eye.
The Noble's son died two days later, and the noble cast Lyra out, fearful of what she might have done to his son. As a final gift, the older woman Lyra met gave her a cloak and a mask she'd hid under her bead. She kissed Lyra on the head and sent her into the night.
Today, Lyra is a dancer, but closed off to other people. She's absolutely terrified at how cruel they can be. The most interaction she'll have with other dream beings is during her dance lessons, which she has on the beach every night for anyone who wants to learn.
