#virphyra

I want to say that would be when she decided that when she was old enough she would completely cut herself out of her parents' lives. And then followed through with it. She methodically did everything she could to get what important documents she needed, changed any and all money she had to a different bank... etc. Yra was determined that this was what she needed to do but she was still scared. And it was hard. She didn't have anyone to help her, no one to talk to, and she had to do everything on the down low. She'd had some experience doing this already, but this was so much bigger and so much more final than just hiding clothes and trinkets and music from her parents. She was also afraid that if she failed, she'd never get out from under her parents control.

And that led to her living on the streets for a while. That changed her too. Sleeping in trees or on ledges of houses where the rain wouldn't get to her in her tiny form until she found a job and was able to find a shelter she could stay at for the time being....

When people tip her employees. They deserve the extra cash on top of their nice salaries! When she get’s to kick out nasty patrons to her place! Walking along the beach at night and watching the lights of the city. Green olives.

People who don’t tip her employees! Rude customers! Slackers! People that start fights in her bar! Pickles!

Personality: Yra is generally pretty friendly and of course likes to have fun, but she is very driven in those things she wants to accomplish. She takes her job and business seriously. It’s her life. She has fun at it but it’s also the livelihood of her and her employees. Therefore she is more than willing to go the extra mile. No one disrespects her employees, if you break something after getting rowdy she will bill you for it. She feels no shame for any part of her life getting to the place she is now, except for how much of her childhood was wasted due to her parents controlling behavior.  

Back Story: Parents wanted her to be a lawyer a Doctor, a nurse, anything if it was prestigious. As a child she went along with it, not knowing any better. Spending all her time studying to make her parents proud. She wasn’t allowed to hang out with friends, go do fun things, or really play at all. The closest thing she had to fun was on her birthdays when she was given a special treat at dinner. But that was it. Everything was decided for her and she had no say in anything. Including what her interests were and what clothes she wore. She started developing a deep resentment towards her parents when she hit her teen years. And started hiding things from her parents. Including the fact that she didn’t want to be any of those things. Her parents made her apply to every fancy school they could but when she turned old enough she bounced. Left for Monstera City. Shrunk herself tiny and slept in trees till she could get on her feet. She worked all sorts of jobs. Including being a stripper for a long while. The money was good and people liked her long legs. Since she could change her appearance a bit she was able to hide as a deaths head moth faerie in case her parents came looking for her. She took a couple classes at the local college just to try out different things. She was a Model for a while as herself after some years. Which did indeed bring her Parents out of the woodworks to try and bring her back home. By then Yra had a nice flat she owned from the money she’d made as a stripper. Didn’t like the toxic atmosphere and how the clothing designers tended to treat the models. She worked part time at a local bar and realized she loved everything about it. She put in the work and after 15 years now owns one of the hottest bars in town. Which she considers to be the best thing because it’s a huge F-You to her parents who cut her off and then thought she’d come flying back to them the minute she failed at what she was trying to do. She’s created a workplace that is safe for both her patrons and her employees and is proud of herself.    

Skills: Light and sound manipulation, she can shrink herself down to only a few inches tall, like all Moth and Butterfly faeries she can match her colors to whatever she’s next to to blend in with the background and essentially disappear. Making fantastic mixed drinks! You know all those fancy bartending tricks? Yeah she can do those.

Job: Owner and Manager of the Larkspur Bar and Grill.

Quotes: “No Fighting in my Bar!” “ Buster!” “Hey! No banging on the glass!” “You’re cut off. Have a good night.” “I AM the Manager! Now Get out and don’t come back!”
