» Natural Feats:
-Aromatic Fluid: Lyra can secret an aromatic fluid from where her legs join her body. She can use this fluid to communicate and share her feelings with her fellow Ledyba (and Ledian) and anyone else who has learned what the different smells mean. For those who don't understand them, at the very least, the fluid can be used to mark her current or previous position.
-Swarm: Whenever Lyra is in trouble, her Bug-type moves increase in power as a self-defense measure.
» Personality: Lyra is a timid pushover with little personal drive. She’s the kind of Pokémon who would rather follow the crowd than be a leader, and she only thinks for herself when something seems really, really wrong or out of place. She’ll do just about anything she’s asked to do as long as it doesn’t put her or someone else in obvious danger. Because of this trait, although she is innately helpful, she’s also gullible and easily pushed into problematic situations if she can be convinced that they’re not dangerous. If she’s alone, Lyra will freeze up in terror until she’s around other people or is in danger. She’s gentle by nature and doesn’t like to get into fights, but she knows how to defend herself if necessary.
» Likes: Due to her nature and being raised in a large family, Lyra loves being around other Pokémon and helping them out. Her parents are naturally nocturnal, so Lyra has learned to love the twinkling stars at night and the gentle light of dawk and dusk. Living in the forest has exposed Lyra to many beautiful sights, but her favorites are the fields of flowers with their myriad of colors and smells. The forest is also home to Kricketot, Kricketune, and other Bug- and Flying-type Pokemon that naturally create their own music, cementing Lyra's love for natural tunes.
» Dislikes: Her nature and familial lifestyle have also made her afraid of being alone and taking the lead; she'd rather follow the crowd and take orders any day. Her naturally gentle and, frankly, weak nature have made her adverse to fighting unless necessary for defense... or unless she can be convinced to. On a few occasions, her family has had to take shelter in caves and other closed-in areas, and Lyra has hated every one of those, for they made her feel trapped without the sky to look to and room to spread her wings.
» History: Lyra is one of many Ledyba born to two Ledian parents in a peaceful flowery forest. Neither she nor her life was very remarkable. She spent most of her day with her siblings, doing just about anything they asked her to… even if it got her in trouble at the end. For a while, though, that wasn’t a problem since she could just go to her parents and beg for their forgiveness since her siblings had tricked her into doing whatever she was in trouble for. Besides, she didn’t always get in trouble. In fact, she was quite helpful whenever her family or other Pokémon asked for assistance, for she was always more than willing to comply with others’ requests.
After a while, though, her parents realized that Lyra was developing two dangerous traits: dependence and a lack of self-motivation, both of which they knew would come back to bite her when she grew up. They came up with a rather extreme way to help their daughter grow out of those traits: drop her off in Grassveil Town, where she’ll have to learn to live for herself without having her parents to fly back to the moment she gets in trouble. Of course, Lyra is only doing this because her parents told her to. She hasn’t really thought of the consequences of being on her own or the possibility of learning and growing from all of this. For now, she’s content to just continue doing what she’s asked, whatever that might be.
