Name:

Nyra Valeris

Age:

17

Species:

Harpy-Hybrid

⸻

Appearance:

Nyra has striking golden eyes that often flicker with uncertainty, framed by long, wavy silver-white hair that cascades down her back in soft, untamed waves. Her slightly pointed ears twitch when she’s nervous, and her large brown-feathered wings, though powerful, are usually tucked close to her body as if trying to make herself smaller. Her skin has a warm, sun-kissed tone, and a soft blush often colors her cheeks when she feels flustered.

She wears a flowing, dark brown dress made from soft, lightweight fabric that moves like the wind. The dress is sleeveless, allowing her wings full movement, and is cinched at the waist with a gold-embroidered sash. The hem is asymmetrical—shorter in the front for easier movement, longer in the back where it trails just above her ankles, almost resembling a bird’s tail. The neckline is adorned with delicate feather-like embroidery, and she wears simple golden cuffs on her wrists as her only accessory.

Personality:

Despite her imposing appearance, Nyra is reserved and shy, often avoiding direct eye when flustered. She prefers to observe rather than engage, speaking softly and hesitantly when first meeting someone. Though she may appear timid, she has a quiet strength—once she grows comfortable around someone, she shows a warm, gentle side. She’s highly empathetic but struggles with expressing her emotions, often hiding behind nervous twitches of her wings.

She dislikes loud crowds and prefers quiet places, often perching on high tree branches or secluded rooftops where she can watch the world from afar. When startled, her feathers puff up slightly, making her embarrassment even more obvious.

Abilities:

Flight:

Nyra’s large wings allow her to soar effortlessly, though she sometimes hesitates to take off in front of others.

Enhanced Vision:

She can spot details from incredible distances, but she gets nervous when others stare at her too long.

Wind Manipulation:

She can summon small gusts of wind, but she only uses them when necessary, as she’s afraid of drawing attention.

Stealth & Agility:

Her natural light-footedness makes her adept at moving unnoticed.

Backstory:

Nyra was raised among a secluded harpy tribe deep in the mountains, where she often felt out of place due to her quiet, gentle nature. Unlike the more aggressive warriors of her kin, she preferred to fly alone at dawn, watching the world below rather than engaging in conflict. However, after being accused of betraying her people due to a misunderstanding, she was cast out and forced to wander the lands alone.

Now, she searches for a place where she belongs, torn between her harpy instincts and her longing for a peaceful life. Though hesitant to trust, she secretly yearns for someone who will accept her for who she is.
