~Descriptions~

*Physical*:

Lrya is coated with a shiny, well-groomed, honey brown pelt. There are darker maple shades of brown along her spine, leading down to the base of her tail, where a light, bony white takes over her tail tip. She has comprehensive, teal eyes, that are ready to absorb details that others are oblivious of. She is slightly dappled with (seldom noticeable) white freckles among her physique, and her left arm is completely white. She has notable dark maple blotches on both her ears, and one on her left eye.

She has a variety of "rings" on her paws, and she has dark brown tufts on her left forepaw, and white ones on her right forepaw. On the bottom of her eyes, the most distinctive feature is five white dots leading from her upper lacrimal punctum to her lower eyelid.  She has longish fur (never matted, she has a lot of hygiene).

The canidae's bodice is well built. Nothing bulky, but instead something lean and agile for hunting. She has strong hocks and elbows; making running a breeze. One could say Lyra is small, but according to her "research", she always corrects others, and says she's average. Due to her litheness, she has the ability to run far lengths at fast speeds, leap high, and use her long claws as grapplers for when latching onto prey. She's graceful, and despite her fairly petite build, she's an alarmingly daunting opponent, using never-ending strategy and wit to take down her larger and stockier built counterparts

Her sense of smell is very keen, and because of her sizable fangs, and sturdy maw, she has an unusually ferocious and unyielding bite. Her howl is among the most beautiful a wolf can hear, earning her the name "Lyra" as a pup.

*Mental State*:

Lyra will always appear like a perfectly normal wolf on the exterior. But due to a traumatic experience as a pup, she's constantly blaming herself for what happened, and is afraid of swimming in rushing water, or very deep water for long periods of time.

She has always had vast intellectuality and insight on things even as a young pup. She's very modest about it though, and enjoys sharing it with anyone open enough to hear it.

As she matured she had a knack for ranting a lot. Wolves would always dismiss her though, so she slowly began to silence herself. This is why, when you encounter Lyra, she'll always have this quiet, pensive aura around her. And unless you really want to listen to her, she won't open up.

She may have a resting b*tch face when thinking and immersed in her thoughts, but when face-to-face with someone or a group, she makes sure to smile, just in case someone is in need of one.

*Personality

Her sharp gaze is always among others; fixed on different things, and although very quiet, reserved, and observing, she's kind, and treats everyone as her equal, and expects the same from everyone (except for when alphas and higher positions come into the formula, for she will always acknowledge them as higher to herself). The canine is highly perceptive of her surroundings, absorbing many details at a time, putting things together like puzzle pieces, and keeping extensive knowledge she decides to gather on an individual, without even speaking once to the wolf. Due to that ability, it is near impossible to lie to her.

She can be depicted as aloof, but she's actually quite the opposite, and is always willing to listen to others. She can feel hurt though, because normally, she listens to others ramble about problems, themselves, etc., but they never allow her to speak about her feelings or situations. This had made her a mentally independent  wolf. A wolf that decides to feed on her own intuition, thoughts, and feelings, without having to expose them and speak to others about it. When there are too many bottled up feelings, she tends to simply "shut down" and act completely antisocial until she feels that her energy is "recharged". When she doesn't want anyone to worry about her, she normally smiles, and passes it off with an  "I'm okay".

Despite everything she has gone through, she always manages to keep a peaceful aura that encircles her, making wolves that may need help or want a receptive someone to listen to them, approach her with confidence. She despises it when wolves become flirtatious though, mainly because she reacts in an awfully awkward manner. She's tactful when speaking and you can always see her debating calmly about a topic, but if you threaten a moral or a dear friend, her rationality and diplomacy will be closed, and she will take swift action to get rid of the threat in the quickest and most effective way possible.

Ever since she was a pup, she has always been very wise for her age, so many have nicknamed her, "Old Soul". She has a unique knack for adventure, and her wanderlust will always be unquenchable, whether she's in a pack, or out and about as a loner. She uses her voice as a method to sooth, whether it be herself or others, so it's never a surprise if you hear her howling her sorrows away.
