Lyra Hardwick is a dark-haired young damsel with a pretty voice and a quiet demeanor. She's a poet and violinist off-screen, but a strong-willed adventurer who isn't afraid to speak her ideas and do what she feels is right.

Born to Randi Balian-Hardwick and Remington Hardwick on the 17th of January, Lyra was raised that knowledge is power and power is the key to success. She wants to make her parents proud, but she also has a heart, and one that isn't easily changed. Loyal to the core, and with a mind straight as a knife handled by a professional to a bull's eye, Lyra will spread her thoughts with honesty and will fight for what and who she believes, no matter the cost. But she isn't dumb. If she feels that it's not a battle to be one she'll stand down, but she'll make it known that she didn't do so without a fight. Lyra is relatively reserved and is more of a "watch and listen" person than "speak when it's not necessarily needed". Coming off as friendly to some and apathetic to others, Lyra is the type where you can immediately tell whether she likes you or not by her first impression, but she can change it, obviously, after a period of time.

Lyra has five brothers and sisters, two being a set of twins. They're Trenton, who's nineteen, Naomi, who's sixteen, Ferris, who's twelve, and the twins, Dillaine and Quincy, who're nine. All of her family members, except for her mother and two sisters, are dark haired, dark eyed, and bland expressioned, usually giving off the impression that they're sinister or prideful in such a way that they don't care for others who're well off. But those who get to know them discover how charming and amiable the Hardwick's could be, and also how generous. Mr. Hardwick is well known for his donations to wizard and muggle charities. The house that Lyra's family calls home in Old Hunstanton, near the coast, is actually a gift from an ocean preservation charity that thanked them for their kindness.

Besides having short dark brown hair that comes off as jet black, Lyra has similarly dark eyes and an ovalish face. Her eyes are almond shaped, most likely due to her distant Asian descent. Below her neck her pale, milky white skin is riddled with scars and blemishes from exploring the woods and rough playing with her siblings. Some say her style is more of a tomboyish emo, since she likes to wear masculine clothing in all black and some grey, hiding her feminine figure (she hit puberty a little early). She's almost five foot but just stops at 5'10" and she weighs 84 lbs.
