Overall:; Lyra is a very strong person when it comes to taking the reins and leading quite anything. She is not at all shy and often tells people what she really think of them as why lie to people just to be nice as they'll find out the truth one day and hate you for it. She would rather be honest with them and if she didn't like what they said it was tough. She is also a very determinable person who can push herself beyonds limits to get things right or at least try. She shows this in her swordsmanship lesson as you can see who hard she tries but she just can't seem to get it right at all. When it comes down to pranks it not very often Lyra joins in as she prefers to be more of a spectator and only pranks when somebody has hurt her real bad and has it coming to them, as then it's payback time for her and they get very that comes to them.
Lyra is also a very love orientated person at times as she likes to watch lovey movies and loves those little romantic times that you have with somebody special. But she can't deal with heartbreak at all and is still recovering from her last break up which happened three months ago. She is what you could call a hopeless romantic at times but be warned if you do break her heart though she will weep she will seek her revenge as she truly embodies the saying 'hell has no fury like a women's scorn'. This is one of the times she will partake in pranks and will play trick on those who have hurt her so it's best not to get on her bad side. Though this side isn't generally seen to much and it is more of her stubbornness that shows though a first as she refuses to talk to or see them if they change their mind and this stubbornness goes for many a thing and not just heartbreakers.
HISTORY
Born:5th June
Homeland:Georgia
History:Lyra Emille James was born to her mother on the 5th June. Though her father sort of took of not long after her birth for unknown reasons to Lyra at the time. She was an only child with her mother never marrying so it was just her and her mother living in some apartment in Georgia. From a young age she had trouble learning in school and soon was found to have both dyslexia and ADHD, so she was given a helper at her school to help her in class when she was young to help her from falling behind in class. Some kids in the playground teased her as she found it harder to read and write. She was once pranked by some of the lads in her class when she was eight which hadn't pleased her at all and she did get her own back on them by doing the silly things that little kids did like putting bugs in people pants.
As she got older she was able to work well enough without any assistance and so any bullying eased and she was able to make friends more easily than before especially since they were all growing up. Though when she got into junior high she met a boy called Woody. He thought the fact that she had these disabilities made her special. At first Woody seemed a little funny and weird because he walked a little differently and a few other things but Lyra didn't mind that as he stopped other kids from bullying her for her dyslexia coming up with some good come backs at them which made her smile. But one day while they was walking home something strange happened. There was a beggar on the street who came up to them asking for money but Lyra didn't have any.
Though Woody started acting funny and told her to back away. Lyra didn't understand why until the women lifted her head. She jumped into the air and somehow grew some kind of wings and her feet turned into claws. The beggar was a actually a harpy. She chased them into an alley but somehow Woody fought her off pulling some sort of sword out of his pack back. Confused and baffled he rushed her home saying there was something he had to tell her. At home he sat both her and her mother down at first asking a few questions like if they knew why Lyra's father left or if anything else strange had happened. He then told them that he father was one of the Greek gods and that Lyra was a demigod. When they asked him how he knew her showed them his goatee legs which made Lyra's mother faint.
Once she came around she this time believed what he was saying as before she didn't want her daughter to leave her but Woody said for now she needed to learn to deal with monsters so that when school started in September she would be prepared if any more attacks happen and she would be able to go to high school when she returned home. So they packed Lyra some essentials that Woody told her she would need and her mother took them up to Long Island in New York. Once there she let them out of the car giving Lyra a teary eyed good bye before going to find a motel to spend the night in as it was evening when they arrived. She followed Woody down the road until they saw a blue farm house and headed for there. As she made her way there Lyra saw many things, a horse shoe of cabin children both younger and older than her running around with weapons and fighting.
This at first this worried Lyra a bit but what she saw when she got to the big blue farm house she saw something that made her faint just as her mother had done when she found out Woody had goat legs. Though when Lyra saw a centaur emerge from the old man in a wheelchair it tipped her over the edge. She woke an hour later in the infirmary. Woody was there as well as another demigod whose name was Jason Whitman. Once Woody was sure she was ok he asked Jason to take her to cabin eleven so she could find out where she would be staying for a while. They boy took her to the cabin explaining to her about the camp as they went, pointing out different parts as they passed them until they reach the cabin.
Once reaching the cabin she thanked him for showing her around. She also wanted to befriend him as she felt it would nice to have a friend of the same age. Upon entering cabin she was greeted by the Stoll brothers who where the cabins head counsellor's. They told her to find a spot while the cabin was quieter and claim it as her own before the summer rush came to camp. So she managed to get a bed since camp was quiet and settled in. She spent the rest of the spring and most of the summer in the cabin training and learning the ways of the demigod which she continued to try and learn when she when back home to her mother in Georgia.
Then two years later when she had just finished her sophomore year and had come first place with the rest of her cheerleading squad in the Georgia state national cheerleading competition she returned once again to camp half blood to reside in the Hermes cabin for another year two beads now on her camp necklace. She had heard some people trying to guess which her godly parent was as most people would have thought Aphrodite but then it couldn’t be as she had a mortal mother. So because of her archery skills they thought maybe Apollo but then doubted it as she hated early mornings wasn't a brilliant healer as they were. But when the war came around since quite a lot of the kids in the Hermes cabin weren't claim like herself they went with the cabin their fighting strengths lied with so she held up the archery with the Apollo cabin.
Though that year on her birthday she had found a small present addressed to her. She didn't know who exactly who it was from but had a feeling it was her dad's present to her. It was a butterfly hair clip which doubled as a spy camera so she used it in the war to help get a few enemy positions. Once Kronos was defeated Lyra hadn't gained any serious injuries just some cuts and bruise which the Apollo cabin healed for her after dealing with any major problems other campers had. And then since and agreement had been made that all camper where to be claimed by their thirteen birthday from now on and that minor gods also got a cabin of their own she was finally claimed by her father Anteros. She become the Anteros head counsellor being the only member of her cabin and is now attending camp with her friend Jason.

RP Sample:
Lyra had just finished her evening meal at the Anterous table. The meal had been rather loney only since there wasn't alot of Anterous campers around so her meals was eated in near silence. Though she did managed to catch a few words with Daniel and Kia as she left. Though after leaving the dinning pavilion she bade them farewell as they headed off back to their cabins to get ready for the night s campfire lead by the Apollo cabins as Lyra decided to go for a little walk around the campsite as the sun began to set casting a warming dusky glow over camp Halfblood.
As she walked her hands stuffed in her jean pockets with the sun gently illuminating the soft features of her face with it's evening light. Lyra liked to see the camp from an overview and look down upon it watch the little figures of people going in and out of the buildings doing various things as it was like she was part of something much bigger than she was and she was just watching it all happen before her very own eyes. It was sometimes just like watching her own little show as she watched many stories unravel before her eyes. Sometimes it was the Stoll Brother comedy as they got up to her usually tricks, sometimes it might be the romantic tales of one of the camps couples.
So as Lyra reached the crest of Halfblood hill that she had been strolling up she was met with the site of the golden fleece glittering gently in the breeze of the evening sun. Wrapped around the tree was the guardian of the fleece which was that of a dragon. Lyra couldn't quite remember his name but she knew he was friendly with the demigods on camp and with her being up on the hill quite often the dragon was used to her presence. She gently patted his gleaming head before settling herself down on the top of the hill a little bit away from the dragon to give him some peace. Settling herself she watched the many little silhouetted figures doing various things around the camp as she folded herself into a comfortable position. She brought her legs up to her chest before she wrapped her arms around them and rested her head top of her knees.
She let her eyes wonder over to the volleyball court where she could see satyrs enjoying a game of volleyball. She could imagine Woody running about with his small figure shoving other players out of the way for him to miss the ball and let the other team score a point. She missed the little goat and to think about four a years ago she thought him to be odd and goofy. Then she let her attention drift over the cabins which was a horse shoes and a smaller ring. The horse shoe maked up the twelve Olympian gods who where the council of Olympus. Then the smaller ring consisted of cabins for the minor gods that had been recently added to the camp and the circle was only half full each leaving room for more cabins to be built.
She wondered what other Gods and Goddess had children out there yet to be found or that just need to be claimed. She knew there where many Greek gods and goddess from reading about them in stories from the history class she took at high school and also from learning at camp. With her eyes now resting upon the many cabins of camp which had grown since she had fist arrived she watched as she saw a pair of figures holding hands as they slowly made there way over to the amphitheater for the campfire. Lyra did intend on attending the campfire that evening but the sun was still setting and the Apollo campers still had to set up so there was no point in waiting in the amphitheater when she watch the beautiful view of the campsite in sunset from the top of Halfblood hill.
