For record purposes, and keeping up with anything important with her character~

[hider=Lystra Kallas]
[b]Name:[/b] Lystra
[b]Age:[/b] 17
[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Appearance:[/b]
Overall, Lystra is about average in terms of looks. She stands at a fairly tall five foot eight, has short cut black often unkempt black hair that frames her face. She has a pale complexion with a slender frame with dull blue eyes, with modest assets that don't particularly draw the eyes of others. Often times, she can be seen wearing a small smile. Despite her small frame, it's obvious she at least has some muscle, either from working out or from constantly helping out around her home.

In terms of clothing, she wears what is fairly typical for the people of her nomadic clan. A thin white tunic covering her upper body with red triangle-shaped trimmings around the neck and arms. Around her waist she wears a belt where a small hunting knife that is hardly used is kept along with a few miscellaneous items. On her legs are brown leather pants, and on her feet thin sandals not particularly meant for traveling long distances. It's not exactly defensive or that warm, really.

Overall, her appearance isn't particularly all that special.

[b]Personality:[/b]
Lys, as she's mostly called by everyone in her little clan of nomads, is typically the one you'll find shirking work in favor of exploring the land surrounding the nomad clan. If there is one thing she likes, it's exploring and traveling. Perhaps its part of her nature growing up as a nomad, but she has an almost insatiable curiosity about almost everything. Land, the legends her clan tells, and well, anything. She's even surprisingly a pretty good learner if someone can get her attention and are able to get her to focus.

That said, she's often the one who'll often shirk work and duties if she can get out of it, and is often seen lazing about either eating or taking a nap someone. A driven and motivated individual she is not. If asked, she comments she doesn't see much of a need to do anything - someone else will take care of it in the long run. Of course, if pestered long enough she'll do something, though she'll probably give only about half her effort into it unless its something she's interested in.

However, she is incredibly friendly, and would be the first to try and make friends with someone and is a lot smarter than people would give her credit for. She can be surprisingly clever sometimes. Can often become somewhat playfully snarky and sarcastic towards people she likes and if forced to work will likely complain, but will do it anyways. Perhaps someone could direct her energy towards something more productive with the proper urging.


[b]Background[/b]
This world still holds many mysteries that await to be discovered. In fact, most of this worlds history is relatively unknown, aside from the various tales passed down by the races. This is something Lys wants to eventually be able to do - and that is explore the known world and discover its secrets. As told by the Elder, the world was formed from the endless black void when the forces of creation were set into motion by some being. Despite her love of learning, listening to the elder speak is pretty much the easiest way to lull her to sleep.

It should be noted, Lys wasn't actually born into the clan of nomads she was raised by. Rather, when she was still a child the nomads came across her parents who begged them to take them in. Her father of which, had been fatally wounded by some animal. Taking pity on them, the nomads did their best for her father but was unable to save them, and welcomed them into the people. She grew up rather normally as one could as a nomad. Moving from place to place - typically from plains, to the coast, and the forest was their typical pattern.

When she was fifteen though, her mom died of illness, leaving her in the care of the rest of the people. It was around this time she started getting into trouble by running off on her own, as well as when she started shirking work in favor of doing whatever it was she wanted too.

Really, much of her life has been completely average, and isn't much of anything special, and she [i]really[/i] doesn't want to be anything special.
