__________________IN-DEPTH STUFF

Physical Description
Lyssa's fae and Serenian heritage is quite evident in her soft teal skin, mint green eyes, and gently pointed ears. She keeps her wavy, deep maroon hair at a medium length that falls just below her shoulders. Her features are sharply defined, though her nose it perhaps a bit too long for conventional beauty, with high cheekbones and full lips.

She tends to dress a bit more liberally than would maybe be expected of a librarian, often wearing two-piece garments that expose the myriad of deep green-gray tattoos swirled across her stomach and back. The tattoos are actually one long, vining design that starts at the edge of her left eye and forehead, then trails down her neck and over her shoulders and arms to twine around the rest of her body, ending on her upper thighs.

A pair of gold wire rimmed spectacles are perpetually perched on the edge of her nose or tucked up into her hair- which is of course where they are when she can't find them.

Personality
Lyssa is a kindhearted and soft spoken young woman with an easy smile and always willing to lend a helping hand. A bit shy, if she can be coaxed out of her shell she enjoys lengthy discussions about- well, just about anything, as long as both participants are passionate about it.

She has a fondness for animals and small children, often leaving scraps for the strays that have learned to gather at the back door of the city library (both two- and four-legged).

Magic/Abilities
Lyssa has a rather odd magical ability that allows her to conjure anything into being- anything at all- as long as she writes it down (which is why she always carries around quill and parchment). How long her "conjures" last is dependent upon what they are; inanimate objects seem to be indefinite while living things will disappear eventually. The larger the life form (the more energy it requires), the sooner it will disappear.

Relationships
Family: Her parents, Akrian and Tiamet Alcherein, retired mages who live in a small cottage in the Riverlands.

Her paternal grandparents are dead, and while her maternal grandparents are still alive she has never met them; they are of reasonable nobility, and disowned Tiamet when she married a commoner.

History
Raised by parents who were powerful mages, Lyssa was disappointed as a child when it seemed she had no magical ability to speak of. That is, until she learned to read and write and her strange gift became apparent.

She calls her ability "Script Magic", and spent a majority of her teenage years trying to learn more about it. She never really socialized, always holed up in her room with her books. When she turned eighteen, her parents recommended she travel to Arca to perhaps search the larger libraries in the city (and hopefully meet some people).

Though at first she was overwhelmed by the city, she eventually got a job as a librarian, where she has been working peacefully and contentedly for several years.
