Her wing span at max is appx. 14 to 16 feet. Bio: It was a normal day, but than everything changed when the demons attacked. They came without warning, and without mercy. They slaughtered many of the townspeople before they could take up arms, and the few that did couldn't fend off the horde. Lyris' father stayed back to hold off the demons just long enough to get her mother and Lyris out of the town. But as they fled, they were chased down by the demons. Lyris’ mother ran and flew as far as she could, but the demons did not give up. Soon she knew that she would be caught by the demons. But she wanted Lyris a chance to survive. Near the bottom of the mountain where their town resided, there was a cart of vegetables and other food supplies, it's owners killed not too far away. Lyris’ mother hide her child in the cart, and with a final good bye, pushed the cart away as she led the demons away from her child. The cart continued to roll down the hill, and eventually reached the bottom. There, another demon found the cart, unaware of the child inside. With only the gods watching over her, the cart was taken to the leader of the demons, for him to feast upon. When he came to reap his bounty, he found the child inside. For some reason, anger took over him. He took the child somewhere safe, and forced his demons to fall back. The town was left in ruins, much of it's people dead. The demons left the village without so much as looting the ashes by order of their leader. All the while, Lyris was carried away by the leader of the demons, protected in his arms. From that day forward, Lyris was adopted by the leader of the demons, raised by the him and his followers. The leader took time to visit her, but more often than not she was raised by the leader's Demons. She was sheltered, and in some ways, spoiled. Material pleasure was always given to her, but the only company she ever had where other demons. While they did take on more human forms for her convenience, as she grew older she was able to handle their more demonic appearances. Her adoptive father would sometimes arrive for visits, doting on her more than the other demons. But as Lyris grew up into a young woman, she wanted to see the world outside her home. Her adopted father was hesitant to allow it, and even when he did Lyris was always kept closely guarded, and only allowed to explore areas that her adopted father approved of. And those areas were frequently simply just places populated by more of his demons, who treated her just as well as the others did. It became monotonous. There were times when, against what was desired of her, she attempted to escape. Whether by trickery or pure running, she would be caught and returned back. While it was not anything hostile on her part, she just wanted to see the world. Occasionally, when she would sit down, some of the demons would tell her tales from places she's never been before, or bring her souvenirs and other objects of the outside world. Her desire to be outside the walls grew, until one day, she discovered something about herself. She learned that she was capable of magic. It was then that she started to hatch a plan. A plan to escape the demons that held her as a prisoner, and see the world. In some of her past attempts, due to lack of use over the years, her wings were weak and could barely keep up on their own. To counter this she practiced magic as secretly as she could until one day she jumped from the highest place she could and “flew” away with the wind and somehow stayed just out of grasp of her adoptive father’s minions looking for a place elsewhere in the world and later returning home. Good Attributes: Crafty- In her many prior attempts to escape her guardians/guards, she has developed a wit about things and a cunning that seemed to only help her “enemies” develop a better sense about things. Culinary Sense- Lyris, in her sheltered life, took a liking to cooking. It was something she could do herself, and was hardly ever bothered, though she disliked the feeling of having someone looking over her shoulder when she handled a knife. Winged Child- As a member of the Winged Child race, her wings give her the ability to glide and fly. (Even without Aeromancy) Bad Attributes: Unknowing of the World- While she wants to visit the outside, she doesn’t really understand too much about it. Her thought process is that things are handed too her. While food she did happen to make herself, the ingredients and other things of the sort were purely handed to her. Likes to do things on her own: While having demons help was nice, Lyris preferred and prefers to do things on her own. Even if she is struggling with something tedious, like a mountain of laundry, she will shove off anyone insisting to help. If she seriously cannot do something, she will ask for help, albeit begrudgingly. Dangerous situations don’t count though. Secret Word: Rebirth
