Personality:
Lyra is a sweetheart who's a bit too attached to her books and works as hard as she can. She's willing to help people she cares for out however she can, even if it means she's going to be up all night working.
While she doesn't mind being around people she's not too loud, her voice is quiet and she doesn't talk too much, she talks just enough.
She's been known to stay up for two days at a time just to get ahead of schedule or to help someone out.
She has a long fuse that most people really don't seem to touch, but if she's stressed out and tired it can be easy to make her flip.

Likes:
-Reading
-Stargazing on her roof
-Coffee
-Getting her work done on time
-Helping people out
-Dancing (not that she'll admit to it)

-Rainy Days

Dislikes:
-When she's so overloaded with work she stays up a few days and nearly passes out
-When people purposely try to push her buttons
-When she spills her coffee (happens very rarely )
-Cold days
-Thunder

Powers:
The ability to play with shadows.
A few examples of this unique ability:

Lyra can cause a shadow of herself or another person to rise up from the ground or come out from the wall and wrap it around her skin almost like a snake.
She can use this ability to attack people if she wishes, or even hold things in place. (however, ot puts great strain on her body to use it in this way)
So often Lyra just uses it to make her shadow dance in front of her or on her skin.

Phobias:
(Gosh I can't remember the actual name for the phobia...)
Fear of thunder

backstory:
Lyra had a pretty normal and peaceful childhood. Her mother was single when she was born due to her father leaving but her mother always managed to keep them fed and clothed so she was happy.
Her mother was a bookworm and so she would often read to Lyra, even when she was too young to understand what she was reading. This eventually led to Lyra's love of books and her mother buying her books whenever she could.
Lyra's mother still lives to this day as a happy bookworm who runs a small cafe-library in town where Lyra sometimes works to help out or just hangs out there for a break or to speak with her mother.

Other:
When nervous she tends to try and hide her face with a book or her hair.
She traces her lips with her thumb when thinking or focused.

Quotes:
-Books are my world
-...huh? Oh! did you say something? Sorry I was reading...
-Coffee? Can I have some?
-someone asks her if she's listening
"Maybe?"
