The Riven Lands

A female Elf Blight-Hunter with a slender, heavily muscled frame marked by thick, ritualistic scars, cold amber eyes, and a jagged scowl. She wears salvaged, crudely reinforced leather and iron armor, embodying primal ferocity.

Lyra is a woman of primal, aggressive, and direct action. She mistrusts subtlety and deceit, seeing them as cowardly weaknesses that invite betrayal. She values raw strength and decisive action above all else. Her cruelty is open, brutal, and simple, and she finds a grim satisfaction in violent honesty. Her humor is a low, guttural laugh, always at the expense of a victim.

Lyra Grim-Paw rose from the streets, not the criminal underworld. She led a gang of juvenile raiders who preyed on weaker kin-bands, and she learned early on that the only way to survive was to be stronger, faster, and more ruthless than her enemies. She despised the political back-stabbing of Whispercove's elders, seeing it as weak and cowardly. She gained power not by conspiracy, but by publicly challenging and brutally defeating two previous council members in a "Trial by Blood." She now serves as the council's enforcer, a grim, powerful figure who keeps the other two council members in line through intimidation and the constant threat of open violence. Her brutality is a grim testament to her belief that all life is a form of combat.
