Personal history

Lyria was born into the tumultuous world of demons, where power and brutality often dictated one’s place in society. Despite her demonic heritage, Lyria always felt a deep connection to a higher moral purpose, something that set her apart from many of her kin. She served in the demon lord's army during the early years of her life, using her skills in shadow magic and healing to aid her comrades. However, when Rexus seized power, Lyria began to see a disturbing shift towards greater cruelty and chaos among her people. This change deeply troubled her, as she struggled to reconcile her demonic nature with her growing sense of empathy and compassion. One fateful night, Lyria received an oracle from the true goddess Nyx, who revealed to her a vision of a catastrophic future where the return of the age of gods would bring untold suffering. This vision also showed her the arrival of a summoned hero, Noxarion, whom she was destined to aid. With this knowledge, Lyria chose to leave the demon realm, dedicating herself to helping Noxarion on his journey, all while remaining hidden from those who might judge her purely based on her demonic appearance.

Lyria is introspective and prefers solitude, but when she does engage with others, she can be charmingly persuasive, using her wisdom and understanding of emotions to build trust slowly and carefully. Her tendency to hum ancient lullabies when nervous or deep in thought is a habit that adds to her ethereal and calming presence.
