Ranyu Lies, has brown curly hair that ends just past her shoulders and hazel eyes. Outside of robes, she prefers to wear sweaters with woodland motifs (mushrooms; rabbits; bugs) and long skirts. She stands at a reasonable 146 cm and weighs 82 lbs.

Being muggle-born, Lies enjoyed a relatively 'regular' life. She attended a muggle public school and had muggle friends and muggle enemies.

Her father passed early on due to illness so her mother and grandparents took care of her, all living under one roof out in Kerry. Her distant ancestors are supposedly from Germany. Her mother worked hard when she was growing up to give Lies a normal childhood. The Lies family have a close bond - her grandmother knits and embroiders her sweaters, her grandfather, being a mycologist, is her idol and encourages her passions.

While in primary, her closest friends were Cian Byrne and Holly Keevan (both muggles). Byrne lived a few doors down from her family so she got acquainted with him fast, while Keevan moved in there area at the age of 7.

In primary, Lies grades fluctuated between low average and average due to her being consumed by her hobbies. She's stubborn on her opinions, and while she is open to hearing people out, she often gets defensive if her views are challenged. She enjoys learning about her interests and finds it difficult to focus on things she cares little for. She enjoys receiving validation for her academic achievements.

Her FIOM occurred when she was 7 years old and had discovered an interesting mushroom in the backgarden. Excited and overjoyed she called for her family before reaching out to pick it only for it to explode. It frightened and upset her that she started crying, her family rushing out quicker to console her. They assumed she had squished it.
