Cyra si Lamenis, known as the Locksmith, is a Terran woman whose expertise with biometric systems and locks makes her valuable in dangerous company. She moves between technical work and the sharp, everyday business of a new condo, often appearing stressed, rubbing at a headache, or dismissing a problem with a snort. Even when bruised and tired, she remains animated and capable, a practical presence amid the upheaval around her.
Description
Cyra is short, with a sizable paunch, and has a distinctly practical bearing. She wears a black bodysuit, sometimes with a thermal hood, and is often adorned with diamonds. Two metal crescents packed with hardware are embedded in her skull, stretching from her temples over her ears to the base of her cranium. Her expressive gestures and stressed face—sometimes marked by a large contusion—give her a vivid, unmistakable presence.
