Lyra's father is an Irish folk musician. He plays several instruments like the Banjo (his favorite, also his cutie mark), the Concertina, the Celtic harp and the Mandolin.Lyra's mother is from Equestria and a jazz musician. She plays the Saxophone as one of the best. She doesn't look and isn't very feminine, like her daughter.They met in an Equestrian Jazz club while Lyra's mother was playing a saxophone solo. I'm still not fully sure about how they fell in love. I know for sure it wasn't love at first sight. I do think that their interest for each other's music could have brought them together. At least Lyra's mom is the only mare who can handle her dad and his oddness. He tends to get a music instrument out of nothing and play a completely improvised song he think is fitting to the mood or situation.Lyra's father loves myths and old Irish tales. He told Lyra about the so called humans. He himself has been hunting down a leprechaun since forever for it's gold. Nobody else has seen it except him and supposedly Lyra.I thought about naming her father 'Liam' because it just really fits him, it's an Irish name and Liam and Lyra sound great.For her mother I thought about something like 'Jazz', 'Jazzy' or something like "Eva' or 'Ava'. For her it's way harder to find a fitting name...What Lyra inherited:Father:- his eye color (slightly duller)- part of his mane style (namely those tufts of hair, his are red, hers are white)- mix of his coat color- his music talent- being, well...oddMother:- her hair color (slightly darker however)- white streaks (different places)- mix of her coat color- her music talent- her horn- her tomboyish looksI'm not completely satisfied about their looks, but I keep them like this for now.Enjoy ♥If you would like to see them as separate pieces, comment.Questions about them, just ask c:
