Her Personality: Sweet and caring, she is humble, loyal and shy. Though with most people she is quiet and reserved, she only holds a few friends which she may completely and wholeheartedly be herself with. It is with these people that her glorious personality truly shines. She has a good sense of humor but doesn't take well to crude humor. She is extremely reliable, and her friends know that they can depend on her if they need anything. Lyra is honest, though she does not want to hurt peoples feelings, she will always give them her honest opinions, though she aims to do so in a way that isn't considered rude. When she has decided on something, she will give it her all, picking herself up and dusting herself off as many times as it takes before she succeeds. It is rare that she gives up, in fact, failure only makes her want it even more. She feels that if she has to actually work for something, then in the end it will be all the sweeter when she finally receives or accomplishes her goal.
How They met: Lyra and Oliver met each other young, growing up in the same small town with so little to do and so few people whom one could actually meet before they had met them all. The two had been close even from a small age. Despite how Shy Lyra was, Oliver was always the one whom she seemed to be able to be most open with. They went to the same schools together and enjoyed summers together, very rarely drifting apart for long.
ExtrasThese are a series of letters exchanged between Lyra and Oliver during his deployment. It was due to the loss of Oliver and the fear of loosing him indefinitely that drove her to writing her final letter to him. (Below)

Dear Oliver,
I only just arrived home from waving you off, but I felt inclined to write a letter now, so that it may arrive soon after you reach your destination. It was only moments ago that I saw you, but I already miss you! I do hope you will be back by summer, otherwise this year will be far lonelier than any vacation should be. I will be going out tomorrow to try and apply for any work that I find. I think it will help to pass the time. No longer being able to talk with you will just make me depressed, so I decided to occupy myself with work. Since you should be getting my note when you arrive, please tell me how the ride was! I have never even left this tiny little town, I think it must be grand to see a different part of the world, even despite the war! What is it like where you are? It is still cold, here, even colder now that you are gone, though! I will miss you, my friend. I will make this letter short, since I am sure you will have a lot to do now that you arrived! Please be sure to write! I eagerly await your letter! I will be checking my mail every single day until I get it!
Be safe!
Your friend,
Lyra.

Dearest Oliver,
I had thought the letter lost in the mail! I never knew it could take so long to receive a letter! Every day I kept checking, and finally it arrived! Nothing has truly changed since you left, though I never found a job. I think I shall devote my time to something else...I have been considering what I will do in college. Originally I wanted to wait and see what you planned and what college you chose to go to. But now that you are away...I find myself a little lost at what I might do. I was thinking I could become a nurse...I could help people the same as you are. Though I do not face the same dangers as you do...I do not think reality truly set in until I read your letter. I hate to imagine it, and I still do not wish to. You are in a dangerous situation, and this worries me. There are things I wish to tell you, things I've always wanted to share but I haven't. Please promise me that you will come home. I've so much to share with you....and I miss my best friend! I will be watching the stars tonight, thinking of you and wishing you safely back home. Perhaps they will carry my wishes to you and protect you. I look forward to your next letter, stay safe!
Your friend always,
Lyra.

Dearest Oliver,
I saw a shooting star! I was sure to make a wish, too, but I shall not tell you what it was! Summer has come and gone, and you are still away. I got accepted into a school right here at home, so I wont have to travel or leave everyone behind. I truly wanted to stay here so that, in the case that you did come home, I would be here to see you. My classes start very soon and I will be very busy! I am excited! I've tried to write you several times since I got your letter...each time I gave up and left it for another day. The dangers you have faced terrify me, and I find myself crying when I think of it. I hope you come home soon, so that you may write your book. I would be ever so happy to read it, and I am sure that it would be wonderful! It has been almost a year since you have been away, yet I think of you every day. Perhaps it is as they say, 'Absence makes a heart grow fonder.' Your absence has made me realize may things, Oliver, and I hope to tell these things to you when I see you again. When you come home, I think I will tell you the wish I made upon that star...Yes. But only if you can come home soon!
Please be safe!
Lyra
Her Letter: (Coming)
Oliver,
I am so excited! It has been so very long! So many long nights worrying for you...I have cried myself to sleep multiple times for fear of loosing you. I never mentioned it, so as not to worry you, but my neighbors son, John, was killed in the war. I was petrified, and I cried for her, for him...and for you...
But now you are coming back, and I...find myself lost for words! My mind is a jumbled mess and I know that when I face you I will be unable to form a complete sentence. Instead, I chose to write a letter to you, one, last letter, which is to be given to you upon our meeting. Here we go...
The entire time you were gone, I wished you were here, but even more so, I wished for your safety. That wish I made, upon the star? It was to bring you safely home to me, so that I may tell you...I love you. Truly and deeply, with every fiber of my being. I always knew how much I cared for you, but the extent was not entirely noticed until you left and your life became in danger. I worried, I was so dreadfully scared, I prayed for you every night. I wished you safely home...Your letters gave me such comfort, and I hope that mine did the same for you. But I still wish you to know, as the idea of loosing you shocked my very core. I wish not to be away from you any longer. When you return...ah...now, since you will be reading this. I hope you will at least consider my feelings, and if you do not feel the same for me, please let me down easy, but don't leave me. I will be happy simply having you near me...
I'm so very happy you are home, dearest Oliver...I have missed you so. I love you, no matter what.
I will see you soon, dearest.
Love,
Lyra.
