Lyra Grey
Physical Description:
Lyra has a petite frame for her age, with a light delicate build and a natural grace in her posture. She has grey eyes, wavy long black hair that falls past her shoulders, and a dusting of freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her expression is often serious or fierce, which often makes her seem more intimidating than she intends. Despite her small frame, he has a quiet confidence about her.

Mental Description:
Lyra is observant and thoughtful, but slow to trust new faces. Due to her very sheltered childhood, she can be quite cautious, but not cold. Once she feels safe, she shows a warm, steady loyalty and gentleness, especially toward those she considers family. She often can display more responsibility over recklessness, but she is brave and often thinks before she speaks.

Biography:'I want to be an incoming first-year'
Lyra and her younger brother Theo were raised in a very secluded pure-blood household in England. Their parents valued privacy to an unusual degree, preferring to keep their children away from society. They moved homes several times during Lyra's childhood, always choosing quiet, remote places where they would be undisturbed.
When Lyra was seven, both of her parents passed away due to dragon pox. With no relatives nearby and not wanting to be separated from Theo, Lyra contacted the Ministry of Magic herself. A half-blood family who was old friends of her parents offered to take in both children temporarily while arrangements were made. They gave Lyra and Theo safety, education and love where their parents could no longer. They also helped Lyra realize that muggles were not as dangerous or scary as she had been raised to believe. Most were kind, curious, or simply busy with their own lives. By the time she turned eleven and her Hogwarts letter arrived, Lyra was confident and ready to establish her place in the world.

First Instance of Magic:
Lyra's first instance of accidental underaged wandless magic happened when she was five years old. Lyra and Theo were playing outside near one of the remote cottages their family lived in. The ground was coated in mud and a three-year-old Theo slipped on the and tumbled headfirst toward a jagged rock. Before Lyra could reach for him, her magic caught him mid-air, hovering just above the ground before gently lowering him to a sitting position, as if invisible hands had set him down. Lyra's fear for her brother had caused her magic to protect him on instinct.
