OUT OF THE GAME Compassion and friendliness. Those are the first things that come from Lara. There is a small air of mystery about her, but mainly just to those who don't know her. As a teacher, she has to know how to talk to others, as well as help them. Lara isn't the kind of person to just let someone sit and suffer in silence, even if she feels like it might be deserved at some point, depending on what happened. Lara is a firm believer in karma, and believes that what comes around, goes around. She knows that nothing is guaranteed to set in stone. Lives change, as do experiences that someone goes through. Lara can be stern, and she knows when it is needed. She doesn't like it when someone disregards the rules, or does something dangerously for no reason. That's the worst way for someone to get hurt, and she knows this. When it comes to pokemon, it was always her outlet to be something that she wasn't. To hold more mystery in herself than she does in real life. To be able to train something to listen to her, as well as help them grow stronger and feel loved. She always knew that the pokemon were just AIs in a game, but that never stopped her from loving them all the same. Upon hearing about UNOVR, she knew that she wanted to be part of the game, because it was a new experience to what she loved to do in pokemon games normally. Now that she gets to play UNVOR, she knows that she is able to give pokemon a new form of love, and she's determined to rescue all the pokemon that she can, just to give them the love they deserve.

INSIDE THE GAME While Lara herself is compassionate and caring, Lyrei isn't. She's the mysterious part of Lara. Lyrei is the one who doesn't talk much, she'd rather let her body language speak for her. Lyrei seems to hold an air of mystery around her, allowing her to put someone off right away. Her face remains neutral at all times, and she talks more with her eyes and looks than anything. Lyrei seems to be the person who is the spitting image of if looks could kill, with the looks that she does give someone. Lyrei does talk, to her pokemon, and to those whom she trusts. Once Lyrei gets to know someone, and she knows that she can trust them, then she will happily talk to them. She won't completely open up right away, though, it will still take time for someone to learn about her. But, when it comes to pokemon, there will be no doubt of her love and trust in them. She will cherish each pokemon that she catches, or rescues, and she will treat them as if they were her own children. From afar, it looks like Lyrei is here more for the interactions with the pokemon, and that would be mostly correct. She is also here for the interaction with other players, but she is going to be cautious on who to trust. Lyrei will forever help those whom she trusts, and will explore with them. Just give her time to open up to a new person.
