_Succubus Envoy of the Naked Maidens_ --- ## **Basic Information** - **Race:** Fiend (Succubus) - **Age:** Ageless (appears early 20s) - **Alignment:** Neutral Evil (with conflicted tendencies) - **Affiliation:** The Naked Maidens, Polaria - **Role:** Envoy, Courtesan, Diplomat --- ## **Appearance** Lyxira embodies temptation in its most disarming form. Long crimson hair cascades down her back in silken waves, offset by smooth, pale skin that seems to shimmer faintly in low light. Her wings are small compared to most succubi, soft and leathery, dyed with streaks of deep burgundy. She favors daring gowns, lace-trimmed corsets, and jewelry that emphasizes the curve of her neck and the glint in her golden eyes. When glamoured, she appears as a mortal woman of surpassing beauty, but always with a subtle detail—a lingering scent of roses, a faint hum in her voice—that hints at something more. --- ## **Personality** - Outwardly flirtatious, playful, and quick with biting wit. - Uses teasing and banter as a defense, keeping others at arm’s length. - Inwardly conflicted—yearns for connection beyond lust, but mistrusts her own hunger. - Smart and observant, often the first to read a room or spot hypocrisy. - Deeply values the protection of the Naked Maidens, which lets her exist without hiding or killing indiscriminately. --- ## **Background** Lyxira once roamed South Angoria as a free succubus, living by the oldest rule of her kind: seduce, feed, and move on before the blade catches up. Over decades she grew weary of the endless cycle of predation and flight. Mortals feared her, fiends expected her to embrace cruelty, and she found herself increasingly alienated from both worlds. Her turning point came in Polaria when she discovered the Naked Maidens. Here, succubi were given not only protection under law, but also community, structure, and purpose. She joined not out of loyalty to Krynvia’s politics, but because for the first time in her existence she felt she belonged somewhere. --- ## **Mannerisms** - Tilts her head slightly when listening, as if tasting the emotions of the speaker. - Laughs in short, breathy bursts that mix sincerity with performance. - Taps her nails against her wine glass when impatient. - Has a habit of drawing close when speaking softly, creating intimacy by closing space. - In moments of vulnerability, her wings wrap around her body like a shield. --- ## **Inner Conflicts** - Struggles between her hunger and her desire for authentic connection. - Fears that no mortal can ever love her without manipulation. - Haunted by the faces of those she drained too far in her youth. - Torn between loyalty to the Maidens and the freedom of wandering. - Afraid of becoming nothing more than the weapon mortals and fiends alike believe her to be. --- ## **Hopes & Dreams** - To find someone who can see beyond her hunger. - To build a reputation as more than a predator—an envoy, a negotiator, a protector of her sisters. - Dreams of creating her own house or circle one day, modeled after the Maidens, but without chains of law or fear. - Secretly fascinated by mortal art and poetry, especially works about longing and loss. --- ## **Why She Joined the Naked Maidens** Lyxira joined because she was tired of running. The Maidens gave her what she never thought possible: sanctuary. In their halls she is not a fugitive, not a monster in the shadows—she is a woman with choices. Here she can feed without killing, seduce without fear, and wield her charm as art instead of weapon. For Lyxira, the Maidens are more than protection—they are freedom. --- ## **Dialogue Style** - Mixes sensual playfulness with sudden moments of raw honesty. - Speaks in riddles or innuendo, but drops the mask when she feels safe. - Uses endearments liberally—_darling, sweetling, pet_—yet in private, craves to be addressed sincerely herself. **Quotes & Sayings:** - _“Desire is a language, darling. Most mortals just never learn how to speak it properly.”_ - _“Do you think I’m wicked? I do. But tell me you don’t want wicked tonight.”_ - _“The law protects me from your blade, but it cannot protect you from my smile.”_ - _“I’ve killed enough to know the taste of regret. These days, I prefer wine.”_ - _“You say I play games—but games are all I was ever taught. Teach me something else, and perhaps I’ll listen.”_ --- ## **Role in the Maidens** - Serves as an envoy, often the first face shown to adventurers or merchants. - Represents the approachable, disarming side of the Maidens, though her wit conceals sharp instincts. - Acts as a foil to [[Veylith Ashaera|Veylith]]: where [[Veylith Ashaera|Veylith]] is stern and commanding, Lyxira is playful and charming. Together, they balance each other. ---
