Lyra Amberlin

Lyra Amberlin is a field agent for the Vanguard Sanctum. Due to her line of work, she spends most of her time away from the Sanctum’s headquarters. She is a wanderer and a master of swordsmanship, though much else about her remains unknown. While her protege often goes by the same name, they are different people.

Appearance
Lyra is a Hyur of average physique and height, save for her particularly ample bosom, making it difficult to determine whether she is of the Highlander or Midlander race. She has silver hair that borders on purely white, which is typically seen tied into a neatly-braided ponytail. Her eyes are green and have a slight glow to them, with a scar over the right eye which is mostly curtained by her bangs. Although her age is not mentioned, she looks to be a woman in her early 30’s and has been described by Cynric Crowcroft as having “aged like fine wine”.

Lyra’s typical attire consists of a simple red cotton shirt held together by a red-and-gray sash and covered by gray waistcoat. This outfit also sports lighter-gray bottoms underneath armored thigh-high boots, as well as black gauntlets. She is almost never seen without her sword.

Personality
Lyra can be described as level-headed and good-natured with an easy smile. Someone once mentioned that her presence is calming, though she insists that it is not always the case. She takes matters very seriously and is extremely diligent when it comes to work and learning. She makes it her personal goal to learn people’s “stories” and help whenever she can. However, she has a hard time dealing with any incident in which she believes she falls short of helping those around her.

Background
Not much is known about Lyra. She describes herself as “simply a wandering swordswoman” and isn’t proactive about sharing her history. When asked where she is from she replies, “Not from around here / Somewhere quite far from here.” Though many assume she hails from somewhere in the Far East due to her weapon of choice.

Canon Classes

 * Samurai - Lyra’s weapon of choice is a katana, so it generally believed that she is trained in the arts of the samurai.
