Personality
===[Personal Preferences]===
Favorite foods: While Lykta does not have one favorite food, she greatly enjoys grains, starches, and food that is generally dry.
Taste in clothing: For casual clothing, Lykta tends to wear more gender-neutral clothing, as well as clothing that is for practical use. For formal events, however, Lykta will wear more femenine clothing, as in dresses, skirts, blouses, jewelry, etc.
Social behavior: Lykta is more of an Introvert, but she is one intentionally. She is not afraid/nervous at all in front of others, she just dislikes being in the center of attention.
Sexual Orientation: Lykta is not the most sexually driven of people, but she is not Asexual, romance is just not one of her biggest priorities.
Personal Views: She is very lethargic on most issues, but occasionally, has a very strong view on something, and can be irritatingly stubborn about it. (Her age, weight, and gender are all things she will valiantly defend. She will guard her age and weight to the death, but her gender is a little different. She will very closely guard her true gender, but she won't make a big deal about it. She will just insist that she is female, and change the subject.)
Equipment
======[Spirit Lantern]======
This is Lykta's most important possession, and it is near-impossible to separate the two.
When turned on, she is aware of everything that is happening nearby (roughly a 10 yard radius)
If Lykta is aware of something via the Spirit Lantern, she can dash to said object very quickly, navigating any terrain between them with ease. This makes fighting near Lykta's Lantern a risky -and deadly- proposition.
=====[General Equipment]=====
=Clothing: Always has a heavy coat (refer to picture). Current wardrobe varies (refer to "Taste in clothing" for an idea on what she wears)
=Spirit Flask: A flask of oil (only usable in the Spirit Lantern, does not ignite otherwise). If the cap is closed, and it remains in darkness, it can refill itself. (Takes roughly 6 hours to fully refill)
=Satchel: Holds her belongings. http://www.photo-dictionary.com/photofiles/list/5660/7414hunting_bag.jpg
=====[Combat info]=====
Fighting style: Unarmed/Martial Arts
Martial Art: Muay Thai (Fighting style that is focused on using elbows, knees, kicks, punches, and is very effective at disabling the opponent. Muay Thai fighters are also very skilled at blocking attacks.)
Weapons: N/A (Cloth tightly wrapped around the fists, shins, and elbows is the only form of armor or weapons that Lykta has.)
Extra info: Lykta is extremely dangerous at close range, and even more so with her Spirit Lantern. She is a physical powerhouse (Strong, fast, maneuverable, tough, etc.) but is susceptible to magic, and attacks from a distance.
Note: Excorcism magics, as well as demonic magic/creatures, are even more potent against Lykta than other magics.
History
There are a few theories to who, or what, Lykta is.
Theory #1:
Lykta was the daughter of a travelling merchant. Her father was with her, on the road, when bandits attacked, killed the father, and stole everything, except a lantern, and left the daughter alive. Then, fueled by revenge, she trained in solitude, to find the bandits, and slaughter every last one of them.
Theory #2:
Lykta was a collector of curious objects, and had a vast collection of enchanted items, ancient artifacts, and special creations. One day, a lantern showed up at her door, and, just by looking at it, she could tell that there was something horribly wrong with this lantern. Later that night, screaming and crashing noises were heard from inside the house. The next morning, when neighbors investigated the home, the whole place was in chaos. Furniture was ravaged, books were strewn everywhere, and many things were either damaged beyond repair, or just barely intact. Everything was still there, however, with the exception of Lykta, and the Lantern. Nobody has seen either since.
Theory #3:
Lykta was an eccentric aristocrat that had the obsession of being a female. He would be constantly devising ways to make himself appear as a woman, or to just convince them that he was a lady. He eventually delved into madness, and was ridiculed even more. Eventually, he lit himself aflame with an oil lantern, and leapt from a balcony. He was buried alongside the lantern, and was forgotten. One day, a servant of the family had noticed that the grave was dug up, and the body and lantern were gone. Soon later, there were stories of houses being burned down, and the owners of the home were found on the doorstep, in women's clothing.
