Lyra Nicholson

Lyra is Professor Theobald's number one apprentice. The one he values the most as she resembles an aspect of his old professor. Not in the kindness that she holds, but in her ruthlessness and desire for the future of humanity. Lyra took part in Thobalds research on blood magic and magic corruption. It is through this research that she created her thesis on the power of magic and how it can change people into their true selves.   Having had studied the philosphy of the two balances that the Presari and Deminor adher to. She felt that there was some truth to this belief. That those who dabble with magic will awaken to their true self. Though she wondered what would it take to alter somones true self. Is their a way to turn someone who embodied water, into a creature of flame. What does it take to make a kind man into a monster who desires to destroy all who stand in their way.

When she heard of Professor Theobald's class she knew she needed to get into it. Taking advantage of a potnential student for the class she manipulates him to allow her to take a his place.   Once in the class she proved her self dangerous in her pursuit for knowledge. Willing to experiment on others if it would both eliminate a threat and grow her place in the class.
