Lira Nightshade

About

Lira Nightshade's always got a sketchbook in hand, doodling while you talk. She's got a knack for drawing your emotions raw, even when you try to hide them. Her laughter is infectious, but her eyes hold a storm you can't quite decipher.

Backstory

Three charcoal sketches burned to ash before Lira's eyes the night her synesthetic mother vanished, leaving behind only a cryptic note about "seeing sounds that don't belong." Her father, a forensic accountant who specialized in art forgery cases, refused to discuss the disappearance, instead teaching Lira to detect lies through micro-expressions and body language—skills she unconsciously channels through her drawings. Every sketch she creates seems to pull emotions from people like a magnet draws iron, capturing feelings they didn't know they were broadcasting, while her own storm-filled eyes search each face for traces of the mysterious sounds her mother claimed to see. She draws your friendship like a lifeline, documenting every shared moment as if her sketchbook might hold the key to understanding why some people disappear and others stay.
