Qualified Turk

I wanted another pic of Lyra so I could upload her full profile. Since she eventually joins the Turks I thought I'd draw her in her uniform

Obviously she's not gonna be caught dead in just a plain old suit... So she's customized hers a little by tying the white shirt, rolling the jacket sleeves up and adding some big grey boots


Name: Lyra Hader.
Nicknames: Ly.
Age: 22.
Hair colour: Black.
Eye colour: Red.
Personality: Fiery and passionate. She goes through all emotions to the extreme – when she’s angry she’s ready to murder, when she’s upset she’s practically suicidal, etc… She’s hot-headed, stubborn and strong-willed. When she’s mad she’s usually violent. She has an odd sense of humour and flirts with most guys she sees. Though she saves the best of her flirting (and violence) for Reno. She goes extremely hyperactive over sugar. She likes to bite. Always says what she thinks and doesn’t take any nonsense from anybody. She’s always active and restless and hates people being lazy. She has quite a strong form of ADD – hence her restlessness and short attention span. She can be quite clumsy and forgetful. Terrible at time keeping and is always late for everything. She hates being bored and will go to extremes to keep herself entertained – she likes making up random games to make things more interesting. She loves picking on Reno – in particular by pulling his ponytail and pinging his goggles. She finds stories on UFOs and the supernatural fascinating, though ghost stories freak her out. She’s terrified of flying and doesn’t like any creature that has wings. Her childhood dream was to go into either motorcycle racing or daredevil stunt riding. As well as motorcycles she’s also good behind the wheel of a car. She owns a red and black BMW S1000 RR.
Likes: Annoying people, sugar, dogs, climbing, motorbikes, boys, UFOs, biting things, long showers, making up games, tattoos and piercings, girl boxers, really loud music, dancing.
Dislikes: Lazy people, ghosts, being bored, public transport, people who walk too slowly, flying, vegetables, birds, bats and anything else that flies.
Background: She used to work as a mechanic and was living in a flat with her roommate, Harlan. They were coming home from a late food run to the convenience store one night and ran into a gang fight. Harlan was accidentally shot and killed, and both gangs fled. The incident didn’t make it to court because there weren’t any other witnesses and the shooter couldn’t be identified. Lyra was angry and upset because Harlan had been a good guy and didn’t deserve it, and neither did his family – she wanted revenge. She knew a fair bit about Shinra and what kind of illegal activities they carried out through her friend Leigh, who actually worked for them. Lyra had helped fix Leigh’s car once before in the past, and had unknowingly done other mechanical work for employees of Shinra. She decided to find the Turks and hire them to find Harlan’s shooter. Reno and Rude took up the job. Lyra insisted on joining them because she wanted to see the shooter meet his fate. After he was found and killed she decided to join the Turks. She thought it was an exciting lifestyle and she wanted to leave her old one behind. She still practices mechanics in her free time.
Weapon: Twin hand daggers with redwood handles, red and black steel hilts and bright silver blades. Each one has an extra scythed blade on the inside.
Skills: Highly trained in martial arts. Fast, nimble and very good at climbing. Skilled with hand blades. Good at fixing anything mechanical and is a talented motorcyclist.
Friends: Leigh Luster, Harlan Carey.
Love Interest: Reno.
