Character Name: Lyon
Character Series: Suikoden V
Character Age: 17
Background: Gensopedia!
(I'll be taking Lyon from end-game, when she dies from exhaustive use of the Twilight Rune and is brought back to life by the Sun Rune shortly thereafter.)
Personality:
Most noteworthy is Lyon's dedication to her position as a Queen's Knight apprentice and the bodyguard of Freyjadour Falenas, the Prince of Falena. Her entire world revolves around this duty of hers; nearly everything she says and does is for the sake of the Prince. More often than not, this causes her to come off as overprotective and sometimes even a little overbearing, but she only ever has Frey's safety in mind. Even so, it's obvious that she has good intentions and only wishes to fulfill her duty as best as she can. Such is her dedication to her cause that she trains like mad despite serious injuries and doctor's orders to stay in bed, all so that she can be up and about as soon as possible.
Predictably, she is a plucky and brave little thing. If her Prince's life or honor needs to be defended, you can count on Lyon to be there to speak her piece or draw her blade when she deems it necessary. Insults to Frey's good name are more likely to get her riled up than any personal affronts, even. All the same, she'll defend herself just as staunchly, if only because of the intense pride she takes in her position. Her dedication to to the knights isn't solely a matter of duty and obligation, though. She does it out of loyalty to the royal family, and because of a personal debt she owes to Ferid, who saved her from Nether Gate.
Her past is a bit of a touchy subject with her; it's not something she likes to share openly, for obvious reasons. Had Ferid not taken her under his wing, she would have become a full-fledged assassin at eight years old. Ashamed of and disgusted with the fact that, if not for Ferid, she would be killing people without remorse right now instead of serving the Knights, she is forever grateful to her Commander for saving her. And it's for that reason that she believes she must give her all in her protection of the Prince. At the same time, however, she is very insecure about her dark past, and she believes that she is not worthy to serve the royal family. When the time comes for her to reveal the truth to the Prince and his companions, she is on the verge of tears, convinced that they will reject her because of her ties to the assassin guild.
She is polite, proper, and very formal; an image she believes she needs to uphold, for the sake of the Queen's Knights' honorable reputation. She even goes so far to remind Georg, a man much older and more experienced than her, to be "be polite and use the proper forms of address" when they're at court. As a result, she tends to come off as a very serious business, no nonsense kind of girl... which she is, but she is also incredibly naive. Being flirted with and hit on confuses her to the point of annoyance, and any suitors will receive a swift rejection. Similarly, she doesn't enjoy being teased or degraded, and she'll react negatively to either. In general, though, she's fairly outspoken and never hesitates to speak her mind when she has a strong opinion about something. This often leads to her coming off as rather bossy; Sialeeds even goes as far as to call her a "little tyrant" when she shuts down everyone's ideas for a castle name. (In Lyon's defense, Sindar Castle, Mohawk Head Castle, and Castle of the May Sigh Shimmering on the Pale Blue Water are all terrible names.)
Lyon is very kind and caring as well as well. She speaks out against the suffering of the village of Lordlake -- directly to Queen Arshtat herself, even, who could have obliterated her with the Sun Rune for her insolence at any given moment. And although she has no problem with drawing her weapon to defend the Prince, his allies, and his cause, she prefers a safe, peaceful resolution to any conflicts that may come up. If there is any way for her to avoid a pointless battle, she will gladly take that path. She is optimistic and hopeful; her belief in the fact that the Loyalist Army will prevail in the civil war never wavers, even at the very worst of times.
