space & aliens ;; they've always been interested about the rest of space because it's just .. so expansive and there's just so much to it. they've also always been fascinated by aliens; and it's been a dream of theirs to meet one !! so coming to earth and making friends was an absolute dream come true.
drinks ;; lyra just likes earth beverages. they're all just so delicious & refreshing. she rlly likes snapples with the facts on the caps ?? she's learning so much and she loves it. she could and would drink 17 snapples in an hour and collect the caps.
[ a few ] dislikes::
mushy food ;; it's just sorta gross man, they don't like things with that gooey .. squishy texture. they'd much just prefer solid food or drinks please.
birds ;; birds are terrifying creatures.

why::
lyra has always had a strong bond with her mother-- they were family. they had a strong connection and deeply cared for one another as family do. father gone, lyra an only child, and ancestors presumably dead; they were the only kalons left in their family, as far as they knew. warfare broke out on lyra's planet and gradually things worsened. there was more violence and the fighting was slowly destroying her home planet. transportation ships were being prepared to take citizens off the planet and bring them elsewhere. anywhere that was.. quieter, more peaceful.
lyra only a kit then.. naive, though knowledgeable enough to know what has basically happening. there was a rush to get into the transport ship-- lasers and guns blasting. the ship would have to leave soon; couldn't have too many people and the shots were getting closer. many people were injured, and of those people were lyra's mother. running towards the ship, carrying and protecting her child; she was shot. she kept running-- and they were able to make it onto the ship. though on the duration of the trip, lyra's mother had passed..
now, they've got to learn how to fly without their mama. they've been pushed out of the nest; alone in the world. life is hard and painful, and they often wish they didn't have to worry about ... everything. they're only a kid .. they're still young. it's just unfair.
they were left at earth with a group of other citizens which were scattered by family around the planet. earth is an interesting place for sure. they love it-- it's filled with so much wonder. a different life, blank slate, a fresh start on a new planet. they're happy on earth, they find good friends, they like the assortment of beverages earth has, and so much more.. but they can't help but feel a part of themself missing.
