Sketch commissions of Lyrha for @lookbluesoup
I'lyrha doodle to wind down with :3
“please remain calm”
Of all the places Lyrha could have been unmasked, the Shroud certainly wouldn't have been her bet. And yet, she'd walked past the Wailer patrol - well, not nonchalantly, you didn't grow up terrorizing the seas and just ignore armed guards - but without any real sense of dread.
Not five paces later the brunette Elezen leading them had yelled, "Wait. You there--!"
Words were exchanged. Denials made. Scoffed at.
And well, here she was. Fleeing blind through the woods.
It would have been easier to kill them. They weren't even in a town. No reinforcements to call. No witnesses. But Lyrha didn't do that sort of thing anymore.
Wailers knew the forest like she knew the seas, and evasion quickly became a mad scramble through the bracken.
She found a covered break in thick undergrowth by chance or providence, the reason hardly mattered. It was obscure enough she hoped her entry would go unnoticed by those in pursuit. At least long enough for her to be long gone.
What had looked to Lyrha's untrained eyes like a deer trail, though, opened to a homey little house and a field full of sheep. It was so idyllic it stopped her in her tracks for a dangerous second to blink at.
Then, seeing no immediate, obvious sign of a farmer, she decided hiding here to catch her breath might be a better option. Maybe borrow that chocobo in the stable, there. Steal a pie off the window. Fleeing the law worked up an appetite, after all.
Mind made up, Lyrha darted down the path, cleared the ledge of the stable, and ducked down out of sight in one of the currently unoccupied stalls. It had lower-set walls than the bird's. Probably for the sheep. She waved her hands at the chocobo, trying to shoo its interest away quietly.
And then she heard a growl. Her ear flicked slowly back, and she turned her head with equal caution until she could see a dog - blotchy black and grey - staring at her from over the side of the stable. Shit.
"Please uh, stay calm, boy...?"
Dogs and Miqo'te weren't exactly known for being the best of friends...
Some Lyrha practice doodles! She perplexes me.

Tagged by @ainyan @mimble-sparklepudding, and @briar-ffxiv, thank you! :D
I'm not sure who all has been tagged already so sorry if you get duplicated lol but I'll tagggg @seasaltandcopper @boggleoflight @sinus-lacrimarum @orime-stories @sayonaramidnight @blucifer08 @starscytheskies @thorstyr @adventuresofmeghatron @dragoon-mid-jump @ronqueesha aannnnd @fieryvoid-scout
Since I got tagged three times, I'll do three characters!
Pretty spot on for Lyrha actually! xD She has a huge symbolic connection to the wind in her story. I wanted to fit the pelican in but I think Gyarados and Mantine link her to the sea well enough, at least
Also a good fit! I just wish there were more birdlike electric types. She gets Zapdos bc the Elementals chose her ok take it up with them
If you really piss her off she'll pull out a party of all stunfisk instead and annihilate you
I did the quiz twice for Nahte bc there were a few questions I felt he could go either way on. It was between Psychic and Dragon, and I felt this description suited him a little better!
He gets solrock and lunatone bc he's half sunseeker/half moonkeeper. And bc i said so
Chingling and Inkay are there because they are cute. 100% in character. They're probably ridiculously strong too you laugh at the little squid guy and then it just latches onto your face
Also as a bonus, Nahte's team, if he was just a Guy instead of a gym leader:
Find out which type of gym you will lead HERE and then build your own Pokémon team HERE!
Little excerpt from a whump fic I’ve been poking at for Lyrha. Which will… presumably later have a comfort aspect but here it’s all bile 😱
———
Lyrha growled — but it came out bubbly and hot as a fizz of thick drool leaked from her mouth. Her claws dug into the earth, sticky with blood. She could not rise.
The woman sneered down at her with rounded pupils, tail swishing idly. This was a hunt and Lyrha was prey made docile.
“It hurts don't it?” V’mirrha sneered, mouth full of teeth filed sharklike. “My poison’s turning your insides to jelly about now. Right easier death than you deserve. But it’ll keep your face pretty when I turn you in for the bounty.”
Fire burned in Lyrha’s swollen throat. It was hard to breathe; her nose clogged with an iron tang. The searing throbs in her gut urged her to vomit, but she couldn’t muster the motion, everywhere felt too tight. Too sharp.
V’mirrha sat, eager to watch the process through to the end. Confident in her victory.
Fucking sadist. Lyrha thought. Anger felt more noble than panic.
Lyrha had long since been desensitized to the possibility of dying. She could fight. She could face horrors. Take risks in the name of reward. She would not hide and freeze when a way out remained open to her.
But no matter how accustomed to its closeness you became, fear of death was too instinctive to fully expunge.
Now, at the precipice with no obvious escape, she was seized with real terror. She remembered what it felt like to be a coward.
So Fourchenault was not super on board with Alisaie and the WoLs falling in love
He expected her to meet a nice rich Sharlayan Elezen scholar from a Good Family in their neighborhood
Not two hooligan Miqo'te from EORZEA living in a polycule
Doesn't matter they saved the world this is Highly Inappropriate one of them keeps hissing at him
He wants her to be happy
She's made up her mind
Which brings us to The Dinner
Most of the polycule and Leveilleurs are expected to attend so he can get to know them
So now there's Haurchefant, Alphinaud, Fourchenault, Ameliance, Alisaie, G’raha, Aymeric, Estinien, Nahte'to, A'mahl, Lyrha, and X'rhun Tia sitting around the table in roughly that order
Why are X'rhun and Lyrha there?
Lyrha was A'mahl's "+1." She's not in The Polycule but she's in his polycule so he figured it counted
X'rhun is Lyrha's "+1." X'rhun was not informed properly the nature of this dinner and is trying very hard to make the best of it.
Everyone else finds out about 10minutes before dinner that they're coming its a whole thing
Awkward conversation ensues. Nahte and Alphinaud and Aymeric are doing their best to keep things civil
Lyrha is doing her best to make Fourchenault's eye twitch because she's decided he needs to lighten up and he's too easy to tease
Food comes out. There's mushrooms "hidden" in the soup.
Lyrha hates mushrooms
Not realizing it's a mushroom she puts one in her mouth and takes a bite and
GAGS loudly the way cats coughing up hairballs do
Reaches into her mouth and pulls the half-chewed mushroom out
Dangles it
and drops it on the plate in front of everyone, nose wrinkled
Fourchenault stops talking to watch
Alphinaud is about to have an aneurysm
A'mahl scolds her for wasting good food and grabs her plate to eat the mushrooms himself
Including the half chewed one
Everyone at the table takes psychic damage
Lyrha makes a Remark to which he replies, and I quote,
"wHAT? my mouth has been on much worse parts of you, a little spit wont kill me"
A'mahl realizes immediately that was probably not a good thing to say at This Dinner in front of Papa Fourchenault
X'rhun Tia is about to have an aneurysm
Fourchenault is making a face like if Elrond was trying to strangle you with his mind
Alisaie launches herself across the table at A'mahl who's now at the top of her enmity list for ruining Meet-the-father-in-law-in-a-positive-not-apocalyptic-setting-so-he'll-accept-you-dinner
Anyway no Fourchenault does not like his two son-in-laws very much and Lyrha has never been re-invited to a formal dinner
Did you try too hard? Your mind too meager The whispers follow when you leave
You read it wrong A bold-face fever You’ve stolen everything you believe
