History
Fillers
The Dragon Prince: Xadia
Sent from Soren, an adventurer arrives before Bon Bon Night. Lira asks them to bring back a shower flower from the woods for her decorations. She then leaves to help watch the kids for Ethari at his request. When the adventurer returns with the shower flower, she excitedly runs off to show everyone her flower.[2] During the festival, everyone shares scary stories with each other and Lira ends up eating too many sweets.[3]
The next day, Lira tells Ethari that the Blood Moon has risen again and leaves to prepare for the Second Bon Bon Night.[4] At some point during the festival, Maggs sends Lira on an errand to the woods when Ethari shows up to convince their new friend to do it instead.[5]
After encountering mischievous Rootsnoots, Lira gives the adventurer a matching flower crown she had weaved.[6]
At some point, she goes outside of the village on a dare and returns to find a Mistform Trickster blocking her path. She is then saved by the adventurer and begs them not to tell Ethari but assures them that Maggs would have a good laugh.[7]
Book Seven: Dark
Sticky Fingers
Lira is one of the three Moonshadow Elf children that Ethari watches over as his pride of "Moon Cubs". During his stay in the Silvergrove, Callum volunteers to watch over the Moon Cubs alongside Sneezles while Ethari, Runaan, Rayla, and Stella scour the Moonshadow Forest to gather ingredients for a Forage Feast.
Lira playfully calls Callum a liar when he claims that his hair is not greasy since Sneezles sneezes every time he denies the Moon Cubs' statements. She is also fascinated when Callum somehow makes himself tickle-proof to the Moon Cubs.
As Callum and the Moon Cubs rest together, Lira prods into his relationship with Rayla before asking how would human and elven babies turn out. When Ethari, Runaan, Rayla, and Stella return to the Silvergrove with the ingredients they gathered, Lira loudly proclaims to Rayla that Callum wants to have ten babies with her, embarrassing him.
