"It's difficult to escape without remembering which way to go, hm?"
Name: Lyra (Lyre) Crescentia
Age: 240
Personality: Lyra is a level-headed Quincy. She speaks in a very calm tone and seldom troubles herself with the more hostile affairs of Bambietta and Candace.

She's similar to Jugram in that sense but can somewhat be seen 'taunting' her opponents.

Backstory: Lyra was one of the last surviving Quincy's along with Uryu. She took the occupation of a musician in Tokyo until Yhwach recruited her into the sternritters. Before their meeting however, she did not flaunt her abilities as a Quincy nor took pride in her background as one despite her ancestors being wiped out by the soul reapers. It was her personal belief that the quincies were fools and that was ultimately what led to their extinction. The family that raised her still made sure she kept in touch with her powers, however, they did not pay her any mind. She grew up in a wealthy family, her parents were too busy with business affairs that their servants practically raised her. She did everything she could to get their attention but eventually gave up and closed off her heart. She pursued music as a major in college despite her parents wanting her to major in something 'useful', she flourished in these talents, thus, becoming a well-known musician in Tokyo.
Abilities: Lyra's shrift allows her to erase certain memories from her opponents. They are granted 3 things to remember- oftentimes stuck in a loop due to the consistent drainage of their memory. During this state, they cannot remember Lyra's face- only her voice. To activate this ability, the bow Lyra possesses can be used as a harp, a melody being played and once it is heard, they are under her spell. It's a loop that can last quite a while, but one of the ways it can be bypassed is by remembering her face. To do so, her opponent must sacrifice an important memory to attempt to visualize her face if they are given something to etch it out.
Trivia:
-Lyra's powers were largely based off of Mew Mew's stand in Stone Ocean
-The blood ritual Yhwach made his army go through to gain their shrifts had almost caused Lyra to back down as she dislikes the very idea of drinking blood
-Lyra is stoic most of the time but her emotions are hard to read considering she either dons a smile or a poker face
-Lyra was previously part of Lilotto's squad before leaving due to Bambietta's bossy nature and the bickering between Candace. She also did not enjoy Giselle's presence but does hold Lilotto in high regard.
-After the war, Lyra managed to escape Mayuri's plans into turning the Quincy's into his own personal experiments. She returned to the human world and carried on with her work.
