User:Fire InThe Hole/Lyka Westwood

Info
Lyka Westwood is mostly known for being Delinius' girlfriend. She was born on Embla 26th, in -199 AEQ.

Personality
Lyka has a fairly outgoing personality and has no problem with being the center of the attention in a crowd. Despite facing difficulties early on during two periods of unrest, she tends to be quite optimistic about the future, and she is inclined to cheer up those around her when their spirits are down. She is a little and prone to misremember things, despite trying her best to keep everything straight. While Lyka is quite social, she does not necessarily entrust everyone she meets with all her thoughts, and generally gets an overall idea of someone before discussing more serious topics. Once she finds someone to be trustworthy enough, she'll gladly share more and befriend them more meaningfully.

Lyka has a fair amount of interest for technology of many kinds, despite her chaotic mind. Oddly enough, she is much more focused when dealing with related activities compared to other pursuits.

Appearance
She stands a little over five foot five tall, with blond hair that falls just over the shoulder.

[[HS 1952e5 (Alpha)]] Timeline
Lyka does not appear in any significant way on the Alpha timeline, though it's likely she does exist and is in a relationship with Delinius.

Early life
Lyka was born into the relatively wealthy Westwood family in -198 AEQ, though said wealth had decreased a fair bit due to poorly chosen purchases and other financial decisions around the time that she grew up. Much of her childhood was taken up by the invasion of the Nazcans, however, which also interrupted any learning there was for her to do, and in addition rendered her family's wealth useless. While some of them took up work afterwards to overcome this setback, others refused to change their lifestyle and soon fell into poverty. Lyka herself picked up whatever work she could for some time, despite lacking good education at first.

Monster plague
In -182 AEQ, large amounts of monsters arrived on Ludus from Separ, which displaced Lyka with her family again. This time, however, she ended up separated from them in the chaos of the fleeing crowd. For several years, she travelled across Ludus in search of safety until eventually finding a small group of travellers who had banded together around the ruins of a large church.

As it turned out, she had stumbled upon a small group of supposed 'evil magicians', users of magic who were believed to be the cause of the monsters that were spreading all across the planet. Despite these rumours, they turned out to have no relation to the monsters in question and were quite friendly.
