Background: As her moveset would dictate, Lyra is a fan of dogs. Not just any dog, mind you, but a fan of Corgis. The furrier, pointier version of the dachshund has always made Lyra giddy beyond all belief. That was her first pet, and her only pet in her life. If one corgi ran away or passed away, she would beg her parents to get her another one, and they would. Now as an adult, she could buy more, but she needs enough money. This is where the EWF comes in. She could amass a corgi army with the money she receives from the EWF.
And she would get to share all of these cute corgis with the love of her life, Bon Bon. To Lyra, her name speaks for itself, as Bon Bon is as sweet as a carton of the candies alone. The two met during Lyra's biggest concert performance to date, at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Lyra was playing the lyre, which she had learned to play at age 11. Octavia was also there, playing the cello. Lyra and Octavia had become good friends through Band in high school. Anyway, Lyra noticed the beautiful woman in the crowd (Bon Bon) and started screwing up her notes. She could never recover. The New York lovelies booed Lyra, with tears in her eyes, off of the stage, Octavia following to console her.
After the dreadful show, Lyra was face to face with the lovely woman who had just inadvertently cost her her music career. Bon Bon complimented Lyra on her stellar performance, up until the incident. Lyra was stunned, and Bon Bon followed it up by asking if she could hear the rest of her set. Lyra stopped crying, and said yes.
Nowadays, Lyra lives with Bon Bon at her home in Loneyville, which also doubles over as her candy store. She had to give up music, as apparently her biggest performance at MSG ended up being her last. Nobody would book Lyra anymore on account of her colossal failure, though Octavia wound up becoming more successful in spite of it, so Lyra didn't really care all that much. She was proud of her friend, and she had Bon Bon to ease the pain. At the end of the day, she was the only one Lyra wanted to play for, anyway…
