#Personality ;
Lyra is quite odd, to put it lightly. Out of her group of friends (Minuette, Twinkleshine and Cadance) she always seems to stick out. She has an odd way of sitting, usually with her arms folded, legs up like that of a human. She's known to stare at her front hooves longingly, hoping one day she'd finally get some hands there rather than cumbersome hooves. Lyra is also known to be incredibly loyal to her friends and loved ones. Rarely leaving the side of Princess Cadance unless it's to travel to Ponyville to meet up with Bon Bon, another of her close friends. Still, her attitude doesn't go unnoticed with almost everypony thinking she has a few screws loose. Almost all of the ponies know her by the impressive skills on the lyre, having been known over a Equestria due to being the official court Lyrist.
It's worth noting she's very modest about her skills on the lyre, usually downplaying them more than she really should. When she's often complimented on her skills she usually states that "Oh, I'm not that good." strictly because of how humble she is. Lyra is always friendly to most of the ponies in Canterlot and Ponyville, the one exception was due to Chrysalis' brainwashing. Her keen taste in music is also to note, however she can't stand Vinyl Scratch's electronic noise and prefers the music of Octavia.
#History ;
Lyra as a filly went to the Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns in Canterlot. It was during this time that she learnt what her true talent was, playing the lyre. It was this moment where she finally got her cutie mark and also admiration from Princess Cadance. The princess decided to personally recommend Lyra to a musical academy where she was hired to be the official lyrist for the the Canterlot Palace. It was around this time she met Twinkleshine and Minuette, two other fillies that went to the same school. They formed a trio of friends who were both quirky and determined to serve Princess Celestia in any way possible.
As the years passed, Lyra graduated and took a spot as a permanent musician for Princess Cadance and occasionally for Celestia. Lyra's travelling also brought her to Ponyville where she met Bon Bon, an earth pony. Bon Bon and Lyra became almost inseparable and whenever Lyra happened to be in town you'd almost always find her right alongside. Soon after, Cadance had revealed her plans for marriage and chosen her to be one of the bridesmaids. However, something felt off.
One of the more strange points in her life was around Princess Cadance and Shining Armor's wedding. Chrysalis had taken the form of Cadance and put a spell on her and her friends. Chrysalis had brainwashed her to protect the charade. She was tasked with keeping Twilight and Cadance from escaping their prison and exposing her as a fake. However, they still found a way to escape and got to the fake. After Chrysalis was defeated the spell on her was broken and she went to enjoy the wedding with everypony else.

#Sample RP ;
"Just another day in Canterlot" Lyra said chirpily to herself, staring out of her bedroom window before taking a seat on her bed and bringing her lyre on her lap and tracing her hoof across it. "You know, this sure would be easier with some hands like those dashing minotaurs have." she said to herself exasperatedly. Lyra longed to have features like the more free moving creatures in Equestria, such as the minotaurs and diamond dogs. It sure would be a dream come true for her to have feet, hands and legs that were more flexible. "Oh well!" she said to herself, standing up off of her bed, tossing aside the lyre and taking a few shaky steps on her hind legs to try and imitate the walking pattern of the many two legged creatures in Equestria. It didn't last, she came crashing to her front legs as her hind ones weren't quite able to keep her balanced. Lyra trotted out of her quarters and outside into the palace gardens, ready to start a new day in Canterlot. ((I'm REALLY sorry for the shortness. I just find it difficult with sample RPs as I prefer having another person there to have more to go off of))
