Lyra Harper

Lyra Harper is a main character in Glee: NDNG. They're a sophomore, at the start of Season One, who spends most of their time with childhood friend Sky Duffy, and they're one of very few openly nonbinary kids at McKinley. As of the end of Coming Out of My Cage, they were a member of the New Directions.

Early Life
Lyra was born to 'two hippy Pagans', as they put it, so they've always led a somewhat unusual life. They never really fit in, anywhere. From the moment they started kindergarten, they were convinced they were meant to be a loner. Until elementary school, at least, where they met Sky. Lyra dedicated weeks to learning ASL, to converse with him, properly. They came out as nonbinary at age 13.

Season 1
Lyra's first seen in Pilot, when Quentin Talley's trying to convince Viola James to join the Glee Club. Quentin's visibly distracted, but Lyra doesn't seem to notice him.

Later, Lyra and Sky are singing and signing along to music, in a practice room, with an earphone each, when Quentin sees them. Lyra waves, and agrees with Sky that he's cute.

Lyra's next seen in Coming Out of My Cage, in Math class. They softly sing Sweet Caroline, as Quentin watches, until Sky interrupts, having heard none of the class. Lyra explains everything, and mentions the singing. After a brief debate, Sky tells Quentin to convince Lyra they can sing. After class, Quentin asks Lyra to audition for the Glee Club. Lyra says they'll go if Sky does, but he's reluctant.

Lyra catches Sky singing Your Song, and after an exchange of banter, drags him to the choir room, where they audition with Seventeen.

They join the performance of My Junk. watching Quentin, and dancing with him in the dream sequence. Later, they join the girls in Love Myself.

Personality
Lyra is strong-willed, fiery, and loves nothing more than teasing their friends, though they would die for them, without hesitation.

Style/Appearance
Lyra's style varies from day to day, but generally, it's androgynous, t-shirts and jeans. On occasion, they'll wear dresses, and full, outlandish makeup, and enjoy the attention it attracts.
