Name: Lira
Age: 18 (Depending on the setting, this may change.)
Nicknames: "Doll" "Ghost"
Height and weight: She is small, petite, appearing malnourished but not severely.
Appearance: Lira stands at 5'0 to 5'1 between her ages.
She stands with little confidence, in a world catering to beauty and strength, Lira has simply been left behind. She is pale, those who have seen her whisper about her likeness to a lively corpse, though her cheeks can blush. The scars on her face start at the cheek bone and work inwards towards her lips, and back along her chin creating precise "puzzle lines". There is a similar scar along her forehead starting from the hairline). In this way, Lira begins to resemble a patchwork doll.
Slight discoloration rests in her right eye, it is glass, due to the care of a sympathetic doctor she was able to receive one from a highly renowned doll maker.
Her hair is long, depending on light it goes from sea green to deep moss. She is unwilling to cut it despite how messy it is to care for. Her bangs often hang over her eyes, obscuring her patch on days she wears it.
Lira does not wear revealing clothes. She is often seen in over-sized tunics, in modern wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt and simple jeans.

Bio: Lira was a popular 13 year old girl, she had friends, the eye of boys just beginning to understand crushes and she was skilled in her classes. This didn't change the thoughts of her parents, with two younger siblings who they thought could be equally gifted. Lira was sold to a man for social experiment, to see how much appearances could take away in an area completely obsessed with looks. It was an instant ease for the middle class family. She was drugged with her dinner and carried out while she slept, waking in a dark room to a voice who promised her she would live, but that she would never be the same.
He was right. He placed the dismembered girl at the front of he school, a mass of blood and missing pieces for all to see.
His experiment was a success, Lira was untouchable. No one came to her bedside in the hospital, once she was home it became uncomfortable to be around her at family dinners. She started to spend more and more time in her room, for three days no meals were brought to her, and she felt too ashamed to leave. She was removed and placed in an asylum, until her adult years when her parents finally felt they had no more obligation towards her. She was placed on the streets, left to fend for herself. She was treated as a corpse, and met with disgust or completely ignored.
Lira felt her life was over, she failed at any attempt to beg and was forced to eat from the garbage once night fell. A man observing her removed her from this on her second night. He announced himself as an unlicensed doctor. His name, Sol. He had modest accommodations in this town but just enough that he could keep Lira with him. They stayed together in a motel, Lira never questioning his reasons for being there. He wanted to help her. While he could not fix her scars, or give her back her full sight, he could carefully work on her confidence. After witnessing a small breakdown over her appearance, he started treating Lira with genuine affection. He calls her Doll, referencing her stitched face. To prove she was not as monstrous as she felt, he gathered patchwork dolls, and indicated he found her beautiful. She had difficulty keeping herself separated, developing feelings for him. She has yet to tell him she has fallen in love, though he has hinted his own interest in her.
Currently she remains with the Sol, following him while he attempts to repair damage done to others by the man who destroyed her. Lira will take any chance to be out on her own, though she still tries to stay active at only nights or appear with her hood up.
Personality: Lira is mild and realistic. Subdued. She does not daydream often and is less likely to put thought into fantasy, or far reaching ideas. In most of her interactions with other people, she will assume actions based on previous experiences as opposed to the current persons personality.
She will put out a cheery and relaxed front. She has been described as hopeless when she behaves normally.
