Stood near the rail of the lift-ship, watching the rising walls with hungry caution. Stayed quiet through the Stillforge boarding — a guard ran a rapier blade through her hair to examine her, and she held still. On the dock, she introduced herself to Silas Briggs and extended her hand. The moment he shook it, he collapsed. Whether her touch or presence triggered the vision is not yet understood.

Cirrus was introduced to the party — star-bright and loyal, teeth bared when Lyra said "Stillforge." That night alone, she found the Lost Pup constellation in the sky — a story of a pup separated from its pack who chose a new family and was chosen in return. For the first time, she felt "the shape of something forming. Not just a party forced together by circumstance. A pack." Cirrus glowed brighter and curled beside her.

During the group's personal sharing, the air changed when it reached her. She wears "the stars like a secret" — her connection is unusual, not formally tied to any known druid circle. The table treated it with the respect it deserved.

Heard the stone strike Honeybrook's window before anyone else — her senses snapping awake in the dark. Helped sweep glass, helped disguise Brixton Ornatan.

Entered Blackmire Tannery with Brixton Ornatan and Silas Briggs as part of the front-room reconnaissance. Pretended to be prone to seasickness to distract Lessa. Noticed the real find — a draft at her feet, blood on brick, a space below. Caught Brixton Ornatan's eye and gave him the warning she could without breaking cover. When he cast Darkness, she stayed with Lessa, folding confusion into the performance. Cirrus then became critical — barking from the black, tugging at robes, guiding Bodrin Silentfist, Vael, and Prill Meadowmere through blindness and toward the cellar stairs.

Stepped fully into violence for the first time. Fear hit her first — then the stars answered. Light poured from the scar at her chest. She became less like a person and more like "a constellation learning how to walk." The Starry Archer form took shape over her. She fired a radiant shot clean through the bruiser standing over Brixton Ornatan. For a moment the whole cellar saw something older and stranger than a frightened young woman moving through her.

Was still wearing the stars after combat — her archery form hadn't dropped cleanly. When Brixton Ornatan touched her to reclaim his coat, his bracelet reacted violently to her astral state. Lyra panicked — she felt how little control she had over what had just happened. Brixton talked her through it: "Breathe. Slow down. Come back." When the starry shape receded, she knew she needed the observatory.

Saw the Lantern Shepherd constellation burning in the middle of the day, in entirely the wrong place in the sky. No one else could see it clearly. At the Starspire Observatory, she told Greenseer Rylenn everything — the falling star from childhood, the scar, the transformation in the cellar, the struggle to return to herself. Rylenn's central theory: the stars are not stars at all, but tears in The Barrier surrounding Eska. He believes Lyra carries a fragment of one such tear within her — explaining the scar, the transformation, the strange constellation sight. He gave her a written account of the nearest known parallel: an owlin in a far southern village enlightened by a fallen star. Not an answer — a lead.

Does not take an on-screen branch in the session. Her post-Starspire Observatory discoveries remain hanging over the party while the focus shifts to Brixton's call home and Vaelrik's return to the East Ring.

Opened the session by telling the party what Greenseer Rylenn had concluded at the Starspire Observatory — the stars as tears in The Barrier, her scar as a possible fragment of one. Brixton's half-remembered bar story from Calen Vara made her less alone in it.

In Crownseal Warehouse Nine, found dried blood in the grout on the north side of the lower floor — one of the first signs the place was not the ordinary civic warehouse it pretended to be. In the upstairs fight, her Starry Archer form cast too much light to hide by; Brixton covered her glow with his duster and his bracelet reacted again — the black pearls spinning with hungry recognition. She struck first, dropping the sleeping Stillforge guard before he could fully wake.

Woken in the small hours by Brixton, who told her The Three had their eyes on her — not for her own sake, but as a key to "the opening" behind The Barrier. She shared her origin in full: a childhood near-death, parents praying to the open sky, something that answered. For the first time the full shape of her situation arrived from outside: the Three, the barrier fragment, the world resisting her — all pointing at the same thing she had been trying to name alone.

Her star-mark resonated with Brixton's bracelet and the new Barrier Breaker gloves. She read the constellations after and found a good omen for the southward path. Agreed with Brixton to keep the door/key/lock framing private for now.
