About:

Lyra is the brilliant, detail-obsessed artisan behind Prism & Paw, the workshop where Starcaps and Comet Strikers can be upgraded with special finishes like holo, foil, shimmer, nebula gloss, and other dazzling effects. Where most people see a collectible, Lyra sees possibility: light angles, surface texture, rarity balance, sparkle density, and whether it needs just a little more cosmic drama.

Lyra comes from Lunaris Reach, a moonlit planet known for crater markets, silver cliffs, quiet observatories, and crafts that catch light in unusual ways. She grew up fascinated by reflection and color, collecting prism shards, old game pieces, broken charms, and discarded bits of polished shell from market stalls. While others tossed damaged trinkets aside, Lyra learned how to restore them, rework them, and make them shine brighter than before.

Her workshop, Prism & Paw, specializes in adding special CSS-like visual effects to Starcaps and Comet Strikers players already own. A simple Starlit Starcap might become Starlit - Holographic. A favorite Comet Striker might gain a shimmer, foil, or nebula finish. Lyra treats these upgrades as a form of personalization, not replacement. The original piece still matters. The effect just lets it tell a flashier story.

Lyra met Niblet while repairing a cracked prism lens in a Lunaris Reach market stall. Niblet had stolen one of her polishing cloths, dragged it beneath the table, and was using it as a nest for shiny scraps. Instead of being angry, Lyra noticed he had sorted the scraps by brightness. That was either genius or nonsense. Possibly both. She hired him immediately.

Now Lyra handles the careful upgrade work while Niblet “assists” by sorting tiny materials, pawing at glitter jars, and occasionally making artistic decisions by sitting on things. Together, they run Prism & Paw as a place for players who want their favorite collectibles to feel even more special.
