Lyra Sierra-Aerin

Lyra Valerie-Eden, full name Lyra Valerie-Eden Hohenstaufen-Lumenox Belgrave-Aqule Monet Moskaviet, was former government official in Alfheim, and mayor of Selva. 'Lyra was originally adopted by Azazel Orpheus L. Hohenstaufen (the Angel of Death) and Zinsuie into the Hohenstaufen family, now Lumenox family, at the age of 20. Lyra would marry for the first time in July of 2022 to Venin Monet. They would both disappear a couple months later in search of Lyra's past and original family. She would find a family friend months later and get adopted for the second time by them. With Venin sparsely in the picture in August of 2023 Lyra would marry into the royal Valoore family.'

Early Life-- Pre 20's
While parts of it will always remain unknown as Lyra was abandoned at birth a few details remain. ''As a baby, Lyra was found abandoned by some pirates on the beach of a coastal town. The captain, who had a soft spot for children, took her in, teaching her the ways of the sea. The captain never let Lyra fight and kept her in a secluded life to ensure her safety. She would spend hours at the top of the ships sails singing to herself and drawing.''

''She traveled from port to port, watching the pirates stealing treasure and causing havoc wherever they went. However, as Lyra approached her 20s, she began to question her place with the pirates and longed for something more and to settle down. She had lost almost all sense of connection with the crew, it wasn't the same as when she was a young child.''

''One day, as the pirates were passing through a coastal town, Lyra secretly snuck off the ship and stumbled upon a group of prospering towns men. She seeked refugee leaving the pirate life behind. Unknown to her at the time she settled in the same coastal town where she was found as a baby.''

Starting a New Life
''She felt a sense of excitement. She had left the pirate life behind, and now she had a chance to start new. The town leader had been kind enough to gift her a little house in the center of the village. She felt grateful for this opportunity.''

''As Lyra walked through the town for the first time, she noticed a figure sitting by a campfire. She felt a strange pull towards them, but she couldn't quite place why. She decided to approach the person and strike up a conversation. As they talked, Lyra realized that they were someone she had seen before. She couldn't quite remember where, but they seemed familiar to her. They were kind and friendly, and Lyra felt at ease talking to her.''

''As the night settled in, Lyra made her way back to her new home. She couldn't stop thinking about the person by the campfire and the strange sense of familiarity she had felt. She dismissed it and focused on settling in.''

''Over the next few days, Lyra became more familiar with the town and its people. She started working at the local fishery and met a man who worked for the brewery. He was kind and supportive and helped her learn her way around, Lyra felt grateful to have found him. As the pair were talking the woman from the campfire approached.''

''So the two had in-fact met. Lyra didn't know where but clearly she was recognized. It had to be her shimmery golden brown eyes.''

''Lyra held her breath as the woman handed her a note clearly ripped from or fallen out of a diary. She opened it with trembling hands and read the words that would change her life forever. The note revealed that her birth parents were heirs to a royal crown who had been traveling and became lost at sea in a terrible storm. After the wrecking of her parents ship amidst a storm Lyra drifted on to the beach. She was the only survivor besides a mental chest that washed up beside her. The very woman at the camp fire had years ago found the chest and kept it. It kept a couple family heirlooms and a diary with mostly washed out pages.''

''Lyra was overwhelmed by the news and felt a sense of sadness and loss wash over her. But she also felt a sense of gratitude towards the pirates who had saved her life for she could have been swept out by the impending tides before anyone from the town found her. She realized that she had been given a second chance, and she was determined to make the most of it.''

''With her newfound knowledge, Lyra focused on building a new life for herself. She worked hard and developed a close friendship with the woman who had given her the note and chest. She became a mother figure to her, and Lyra felt grateful to have her in her life.''

''Only a couple weeks after starting her new life the woman approached Lyra and asked if she would like to be adopted. She had always felt close since she arrived, and she wanted to formalize their relationship. Lyra was touched by her offer, and she readily accepted.''

''Lyra knew that she had found her true family in the coastal town. She continued to work hard and eventually met a kind and loving man who would become her husband. She felt content and happy with her new life, and she knew that her continued success was in her hands. She would marry the man, Venin Monet, at the age of 21. For the first time she was making a name for herself. Lyra Valerie-Eden Hohenstaufen Monet.''

The Rise to Government
Fishing was how Lyra lived for a bit but she was a natural in government and made her way into government almost instantly upon arriving the the coastal town [Selva]. ''She started out as an ambitious Selva citizen ( town currently part of the Holy-Lautine Imperium) with a crazy story. A couple weeks after moving in, Selva was sold to a neighboring nation, Alfheim, and Lyra became Selva mayor after a good word was put in for her. From there she was able to get into parliament and Alfheim Ministry. Selva taught her everything she knew about government. She would listen in around the campfire and attend town meetings.''

After a stretch of inactivity in Alfheim she was selected to lead and was looking after the nation for a couple weeks under the supervision of GameOnFinn. After life became too overwhelming balancing school she made the decision to leave Stoneworks. Leaving for what she thought would be permanent. (explained in lore as Lyra and Venin going off looking for her past and family). She would return randomly in Summer of 2023 after around a year of being away.

While She was Gone
In late 2022, mid way through her break, Lyra would get adopted into the 5th generation of the Belgrave-Aqule family with her parents Elide Bolodrav-Belgrave Aqule and Prime Aqule-Belgrave-vynquist.

The Belgrave Aqule Family
''It had been known Lyra was of noble decent but with only the chest remaining from the ship wreck it wasn't clearly known which family crown she was from only a general idea. Lyra and Venin set off looking for anything that could help identify her family. While venturing nearby Alfheim they discovered a small quiet town of Agiasgach. Lyra met with Elide Bolodrav-Belgrave Aqule her only link to her family. Elide was the Duke of the Duchy of Dearman (where Agiasgach was located). While they quickly were able to debunk Elide and Lyra weren't related there was a connection and her parents had met on several occasions and knew each other!! Elide was devastated by the news of their passing years ago but overjoyed to hear they had a daughter who was now all grown up. They talked for awhile and the decision was made for Lyra to leave Selva and move into Agiasgach where she could be closer to Elide. While Lyra still owns a summer house in Selva and visits often Dearman is her main place of residence.''

A couple months later ''Elide Bolodrav-Belgrave Aqule and her husband Prime Aqule-Belgrave-vynquist would adopt Lyra. Lyra once having only the pirate crew now had two families and was starting to reconnect with her past. Lyra Valerie-Eden Hohenstaufen-Lumenox Belgrave-Aqule Monet.''

Lyra's Return
On the 8th of August 2023 Lyra would make a return no one really expected heading back into Alfheim community and fully joining Duchy of Dearman (where she currently resides). ''The once sparse town with a big field and a couple houses was now fully populated and thriving. Lyra had repairs done on her house and settled back in living peacefully starting her own coffee shop and making jam & cheese.''

''One day while working in her coffee shop she would meet a man, Micheal Moskaviet, who unbeknownst to her was the king of Valoore. They would get to know each other and with Venin sparsely in the picture any more Lyra would get married for the second time, marrying into the royal Valoore family to Micheal Moskaviet.'' (Lyra and Venin are still married in a separate lore line un mentioned)

Known now as Lyra Valerie-Eden Hohenstaufen-Lumenox Belgrave-Aqule Monet Moskaviet (keeping Venin's last name in honour), Lyra is currently the queen of Valoore. She married into the royal Moskaviet family in August of 2023.

Life Now
''Living your whole childhood on a boat you don't get to have the same experience as other kids and teens. Lyra adores nature and spends any chance she can under a tree or running through the flower fields of Axel. Her favourite flowers are red & pink tulips and lily of the valley. Lyra doesn't draw as much as she used to on the boat but she still loves music. Now she also loves to cook & brew drinks, and read. Libraries are like heaven for Lyra. Lyra has 9 cats, a dog, and 7 horses, animals are her therapy after having a traumatic childhood. Lyra is continuing to try and live a normal life unsure when the tides will pull her out again and take her away. She has never stopped looking for her bloodline siblings who she believes are still alive and out there somewhere.''
