Character Concept
Lys is a kindhearted girl but not exactly one to hold her tongue about issues she is passionate about. She is hardy and good at looking after herself but is also good at being sociable, even if it is unlikely she would tell anyone something too personal about her self. While she isn't exactly one to trust easy, she can appreciate help and is very loyal to those she considers friends.

Character History

Lys was born from a mother who was 3/4 Drykas and a full Drykas father. Her father was killed in a storm before she was even born. Her mother lived secretly, in a land far from the grassy lands she grew up in, caring for and raising her only daughter on her own. Her mother was an oddity, choosing to move and live away from the usual area. Lys grew up with a mixture of human and Drykas traditions and beliefs. When she was a year old she began riding. Her mother's horse was old and gentle and always up for a slow trot across the fields and it was during these rides that Lys learned the most about herself. When she was eight her mother's horse passed away and her grief for the gentle mare turned her attention momentarily toward other activities. Her mother allowed her out on hunts and to trades with others. She learned the art of the bow and arrow and began memorizing and perfecting basic fighting maneuvers. She spent rainy days inside her tent learning to sew and count and read. None of which was her favorite activities. Her mother was a kind woman, but soft spoken and not easy to argue with. Despite her distant form of love she was good at teaching her daughter well. When she was twelve she found a new partner, a sandy colored mare. The horse was thin from the lack of adequate food that winter. Still she was a firey spirit. She wasn't much taller than 14.2 hands at most but she was strong and fast and had a sense of humor. Lys was captivated by the horse and spent hours sitting out under trees or on rocks, just watching her, whispering to her, listening to her. She loved the way the horse danced, prancing and snorting and pawing, tossing her golden head in play. Lys learned the mare's moves. Over the following year the pre-teen gained the horse's trust and they raced the lands together. She named the horse Tempo, for her quickness and dancing. For six years, she lived quietly with her mother, perfecting her skills and working with Tempo. Then, when the girl was nearly eighteen, her mother passed from a disease, giving her daughter instructions to find a place she could fit into.
