Lyra Elswood, a feylost changeling, was orphaned as a newborn within the brooding darkness of an obsidian dragon's den, her tiny form swathed in the shadows of the cavern's walls. Her skin bore the inky scales of the black dragon, a testament to her unique origin. Discovered amidst the peril, she was taken in and raised by an elven dragon rider, Elarion, and his family, who embraced her as one of their own. To blend in with her adoptive kin, Lyra masked her true changeling nature, adopting the guise of a long-haired elf with fiery red locks and piercing, yet hollow, green eyes that seemed to harbor ancient secrets. She had three older elven brothers, each bonded to their own dragons, fostering a sense of belonging and camaraderie within her heart.
Lyra's life took a tragic turn when war descended upon their land, claiming the lives of her adoptive parents and their majestic dragons. In the chaos, her brothers were captured, leaving Lyra alone with her newly bonded obsidian dragon, whom she named Onyx. Despite her deep connection with Onyx, the war robbed her of the chance to undergo formal dragon training, a void that filled her with a yearning to reclaim what was lost. Driven by a fierce desire to rescue her brothers and restore her family's honor, Lyra embarked on a perilous journey, navigating the realms with Onyx by her side.
Her path was fraught with challenges, from navigating treacherous landscapes to confronting the lingering trauma of her past. Yet, Lyra's resilience and cunning, honed by her unique heritage, propelled her forward. Her unique quirk, a habit of whispering to the shadows as if conversing with unseen allies, not only reflected her feylost nature but also served as a source of comfort and guidance. Through trials and tribulations, Lyra's bond with Onyx deepened, their partnership becoming the key to overcoming the obstacles that stood between her and her goal.
Ultimately, Lyra's journey led her to confront the forces that had torn her family apart, her determination and the strength of her bond with Onyx proving instrumental in her quest. The conflicts in her life, from her struggle with identity to the fight for her family's freedom, shaped her into a formidable figure, ready to face whatever the future held.
At twenty-four years of age, Lyra stands tall and lithe, her elven guise perfect save for the occasional glimpse of her dragon scales when emotions run high. Clad in leather armor adorned with dragon motifs, she carries a staff that channels her innate feylost magic, her eyes ever vigilant, searching for the next step in her journey to reunite her family and reclaim her destiny.
