Zyra
Demonlord of Thorns
Born in an ancient, sorcerous catastrophe, Zyra is the wrath of nature given form—an alluring hybrid of plant and Human, kindling new life with every step. She views the many mortals of Toriel as little more than prey for her seeded progeny, and thinks nothing of slaying them with flurries of deadly spines.
Zyra emerged from the cocoon, not fully plant nor fully human. She struggled to understand her new existence and came to be curious of the new world she was able to explore.
she—called herself Zyra, without quite understanding why.
As she ventured out into the wildlands beyond her birthplace, Zyra knew she was different from other creatures she encountered. Mortals were fearful and unpleasant things, while more ethereal entities tended to be capricious, or arrogant. None of them seemed to respect the realms they inhabited, despoiling everything with their mere presence, and that filled Zyra with rage and contempt. Almost unbidden, new life sprang up in her footsteps—voracious plant forms that changed and evolved beneath her gaze, hurling poisonous barbs or sprouting fresh tendrils at an alarming rate.
Unrooted and free to wander, Zyra and her deadly progeny feed, and grow, strangling all other life from the world. She has blighted farmland, overrun entire settlements, and crushed those warriors brave or foolish enough to confront her, always leaving a menagerie of botanical horrors in her wake.
A group of warriors, The Seekers, confronted Zyra, knowing she was a demon from another plane, and a terrible fight ensued, Zyra was defeated but not wounded, only banished to the abyss where she came from. Burning with anger, she now wishes to be back on the material plane and to cover it with her thorns

Zyra is a vicious, predatory creature. In spite of gaining human intelligence, Zyra still has the natural instinct of consuming and devouring of a vicious predator. Her ultimate goal is to envelop the world with her plants, making it beautiful and ridding it of all that isn't her.History
Early Life
Zyra existed thousands of years ago as a collective hive-mind of carnivorous plants that lived together in a layer of the Abyss. Sometime during the War of the Ancients, a party of soldiers accompanied by an ambitious sorceress visited the garden and were attacked by the plants. In an act of fear, the sorceress unleashed a magical attack that ignited the fumes of the swamp, causing a magical explosion that destroyed everything in its path. The gardens remained lifeless for hundreds of years after.Contemporary history
A group of adventurers, exploring the abyss, managed to find a flower among the lifeless land, and brought it back to the material plane. Selling the flower to a flower shop. The owner watered one of the flowers and placed it in her study. From the flower bloomed a large mass of vines and flowers that covered the entire study and wrapped the shop owner into a cocoon, killing her. As the woman died, she saw visions of a world covered in Zyra's plants with nothing else in sight.Zyra emerged from the cocoon, not fully plant nor fully human.
