Lyssia's page

Lyssia is a 22 year old woman whose parents work for a lord of their town, Justice Asher Ironbriar in Magnimar. She didn't have a bad childhood, but it was never easy. Sometimes she went hungry for days, and sometimes her parents were so busy in the manor that they overlooked her completely. She learned to fend for herself well.
She gained her talents and skills after she left home at age 13, because of the hard work she had to do on her own to survive. Luckily, her father (a falconer) had one falcon in particular she bonded with, so she has had a companion in the bird Akos for years.
After a terrifying experience in the dark with a mysterious creature at age 12, she became the talk (and laughing stock) of her family and the surrounding area. Between that, being so independant already, and aching for something more, She decided to cast out on her own. She felt more at home when out on her own, and found the city stuffy, boring, and overly cruel and crowded.
So Lyssia drifts through the wilderness, relying on her skill and her companion to keep her alive. She has few true friends but many acquaintances. On the rare occasion that she yearns for human company, she has plenty of options. In Magnimar, she managed to befriend Allen Foxglove and his wife, Iesha. She stays with them sometimes, if she is in the city.
If Lyssia is in Sandpoint, she usually stays with or at least visits her cousin and close friend, Katherine Vinder. Even the sheriff of Sandpoint, being suspicious of the drifter, warmed up to her after she repeatedly showed good faith by informing him of any behavior of the game or tribes in the area.

Lyssia is a pretty little human woman. Dark, long hair. A bright smile. Small and slender, people find the longbow she uses comical- until she uses it. Her laughter is heard often, even when she is by herself. Despite all odds, she's quirky and peppy with almost everyone she meets. Her dark eyes are constantly lit up, and though she rarely goes looking to cause mischief, sometimes it happens upon her just because of her hesitance to accept no as an answer, or balk at the threat of danger.
