- Part I -
Name: Lyka [ LIE-kuh ]
Race: Dragonette
Gender: Female
Age: Thirty-three
Basic Appearance: As a copper dragonette, her hair, eyes, and wings are all shades of coppery brown-gold, with her hair being slightly lighter than her wings. Her eyes are a clear blue with a few flecks and gradients of gold, and the tips of her wings are dappled with the same shade of blue. Her right wing is patterned with white scar lines from an injury when she was hatched.
She is vain and keeps her hair long, but usually pulled in front of her shoulders and clasped so as to not tangle with her wings.
Typical Outfit: Wears backless clothing for ease of wing folding. Her preference seems to be a sleeveless (and backless) turtleneck shirt, dark blue in color, along with white sleeves and a white sash around her waist. Lyka wears a black half-skirt that falls down to just below her knees, and pale blue leggings. She prefers to be barefoot, but when necessary will wear soft grey boots with clasps. When flying long distances, she wears goggles and a slightly different outfit to guard against the colder weather.
Personality: Speaks her mind in a blunt/honest fashion. However, she has the unfortunate tendency to understate most of her surroundings. Lyka is also very detail oriented and has a good memory for detail, so in that respect she does not understate everything.
She is random and acts upon her moods, often leaving conversations because her attention has been changed to a different focus. She also occasionally has a tendency to overcomplicate things, often simply to prove that her reasoning is naturally higher than another's. Lyka hates being ordered around, however, and will hiss at people she does not like.
She is solitary and neither leads nor follows others, and dislikes being belittled. Lyka's common sense is not worth noting, however, so in other words, her sense of danger is off-kilter from what it should be. She also has minor hypoesthesia, although the rest of her senses are extremely sharp. As a result of this hypoesthesia, Lyka does not tend to notice if it is hot or cold, or if she has hurt herself somehow.
Likes: Coins, sunlight, sleeping, puzzles, and inanimate objects that make noise
Dislikes: Onions, garlic, any other kinds of smelly things, bright lights.

Weapons (if applicable): Her claws often come in handy for touch-and-go situations, along with her slightly elongated canines. Both contain an acidic toxin that will temporary paralyze most other life forms if the dosage is high enough. However, Lyka has no conscious control over the toxin and it only will affect another if directly injected into their bloodstream. As a (benign?) side effect of this, Lyka can ingest (small) amounts of venom with no repercussions, and some larger amounts without fatal consequences.
Other than that, Lyka does not enjoy fighting and prefers to evade and dodge conflicts. She has been trained (rather reluctantly) in the usage of a hand crossbow, and can find her way around other crossbows.
Special Skills (if applicable): Appraisal ; due to several years of subliminal training, Lyka has grown quite skilled at appraising the identity and value of a mineral and can do so very quickly and easily.
Flight and Strength ; as a Dragonette, Lyka is capable of flying with her wings and possesses strength slightly greater than that of a human's.
Innate Magical Ability ; with training, she may be able to develop these innate abilities into actual magical capabilities, but at the moment she is only able to harness and use them to a very minor degree when she is completely relaxed.
Job/Class (if applicable): N/A
Family History (if applicable): Unknown.
General Biography: A sort of "test run," if you will, of how a Dragonette will grow if raised away from other Dragonettes. Lyka was left in the care of a Miner living in Voragimines as an egg, (and between you and the Miner, was almost cooked during a particularly hungry period. They were very, very hungry) and grew up in their household. In fact, when she hatched, one of her wings was damaged due to carelessness, and has a pattern of white scar lines running along it.
Raised in oblivion, it was only through heavy reading (or rather, picture perusal) that she learned of her race, of dragonettes, at around age five. (The Miner's wife was an avid reader from Maiorn who kept a small library in the house.) Prior to this, she had been rather afraid of the mutations growing off of her back, finding them uncomfortable and awkward to move around with. Even after she learned about dragonettes, Lyka spent quite a bit of time sulking around the library/house in her younger years.
She works as a liaison of sorts now, sorting precious gems and often handling the transportation of the gems to be sold. However, she occasionally will wander away when particularly bored, occasionally leaving a note. Lyka usually returns within a few days, however.
