Powers/Abilities: Psionic-Telepath-Memory projection/Psishield

Memory projection: Lyric has the ability to fool with memories.  She can erase memories, leaving a blank hole in their mind, or tamper with existing memories (how they remember it, she can make someone remember what normally would have been a pleasurable experience as a horrific experience).  She can do it from across the room, but the closer she is, the more precise she is. 

Psichield: Unable to be scanned telepathically.  She can extend her power to cover a room, making everyone in it unable to be scanned telepathically.

Psychological Background: Lyric is highly organized in everything she does.  She borders on obsessive compulsive with it all.  She doesn't get along with her parents, and hasn't spoken to them since she was sixteen.  Can multi task with the best of them.  She's perfected the bland, yet friendly face she often uses in meetings.  She's extremely hard to get to know, keeping everything under that bland, yet friendly expression.  The more she gets angry, the more she smiles.  She doesn't yell, ever, and pours her emotions into her gardens and plants.  She prefers to be outside, and takes that opportunity whenever she can.  When absolutely demanded of her, will dress business appropriate.  Otherwise, it's jeans, tank tops or band t-shirts for her.  Loves music and attends all the concerts she can.

Personality Quirks/Hobbies: Is constantly texting on her phone.  Is surrounded by plants in her area of the office, and in her apartment.  Even talks to her plants, convinced it makes them grow faster.  Hates wearing her long hair up, says it gives her a headache.  Loves to wear high heels, even if she almost six feet tall in bare feet, even in faded, worn jeans.

History:

Lyric's parents were the type that should never have gotten married.  But they did, because her mother was pregnant.  Lyric came into the world in the middle of a screaming match.  Her parents never hit each other, but there was a lot of screaming and yelling when she was growing up.  She learned quickly to watch where she stepped, lest she step on a broken glass or shards of a lamp.

When she was two years old, she came down with bacterial meningitis, that had the potential of killing her.  Her parents watched her go through seizure after seizure, convinced she'd become a vegetable from it all, and grasped the only straw offered to them, a special program to cure children.  Miraculously she recovered, but a chief side effect of the treatment would not be seen for years.

Her parents were either fighting like cats and dogs, or acting like teenagers first in love.  Because of this unpredictability and the fact that she never knew which way was up, she never invited friends home, and became almost a loner.  She had friends in school, but that's where they stayed, in school.  She couldn't risk bringing one home, and seeing her parents in the middle of one of their big fights.

It made for a lonely childhood, and her parents were too involved in each other to really notice, so she learned to be independent at an early age.  She was doing her laundry by the time she was nine, because her mother usually forgot.  She learned to cook, because she couldn't count on her parents, especially when one or both of them would go storming out of the house at any moment and not return for a day or so.

When she was fourteen, she discovered she had an amazing ability to fool with people's memories, and practiced on her parents, making them forget their stupid fights, only to learn that they'd just find something new to fight about.  But she still perfected her ability on them.

When she was sixteen, she had had enough.  She packed a bag and got into her car and left.  It took two months for her parents to find her, and when they did, she told them, quietly and calmly, exactly what she thought of them and their behavior.  They continued to pay her car insurance until she was eighteen, and respected her decision not to contact her.  Every once in a while she'll get a birthday card from them that she'll throw out after checking to see if there's money in it.

She got her GED two days before her eighteenth birthday, and enrolled in night school, learning about business and finance part time, while working at different offices and firms as a secretary.  She was also a waitress in a trendy bar at one point. 

She made her way to San Francisco, California, to work for an insurance firm, where she met Ryon Grey, who quickly stole her from the insurance firm, especially after learning she was a mutant.  She was tempted to erase his memory of her existence, but the pay was too good, especially as she still works toward her degree.
