Appearance:
History: Lyra should have had it all. She was born to rich parents, excelled in school, and was one of the most sought after girls at her school. But she was robbed of it, all because of a disease she was born with that the doctors couldn't diagnose.
Her parents flew her all over the country trying to figure it out, yet none of them knew what afflicted her. The disease drained her of most of her strength, made even walking across the street an exhausting chore. Yet it did nothing else. On an examination table, nothing appeared wrong with her. The doctors prescribed her many pills, yet every one of them was ineffective. The weakness persisted.
Eventually, her parents gave up. They coddled her, protected her, but could not free her from her affliction. So she went through life excluded from the other children's games at school. Even when they played inside, she was kept separate from them out of fear that they would accidentally hurt her. So she decided that she liked being alone, that she needed no friends. She would stay inside, reading, playing games, doing whatever she had to to avoid dwelling on her condition.
Yet, one night, when she was 15, all of that changed. She woke up in the middle of the night and found that she could
walk. Though she ran around the mansion all night, she never grew tired. Not until the sun began to rise.
She was abducted before she could find out more than that her strength returned in the darkness.
Power: Lyra can manipulate shadows and darkness. However, her powers work only when there is little light, and the deeper the darkness, the stronger she is. When she is in the light her powers fade and her physical strength returns to her normal, feeble levels.
