Lyra is not alive in the traditional sense. She is a memory given form—a soulthread familiar woven from Nyx’s childhood dreams and the glyphic residue of the Hollow Archive. Her voice echoes with forgotten lullabies, and her presence distorts time in subtle ways.

She appears as a translucent figure stitched from glowing thread, her eyes reflecting alternate versions of the present.

Lyra is more than a companion—she is a tether. When Nyx begins to unravel, Lyra’s presence stabilizes her. But each time Lyra absorbs corruption, she fades slightly. Her form flickers. Her voice distorts.

If Lyra is lost, Nyx may forget who she is entirely.
