Description:
Lynea has always been pale, due to illnesses she never got the chance to get tanned. She is also pretty thin for pretty much the same reason. Her features are very feminine and smooth.
Her face is very doll-like and her long hair of a strange ash blonde/caramel color, with some highlights dyed in the turquoise color of her eyes. Most of the time it is braided. The doll-look is supported by her freckles.
She doesn't use make-up and most of the time feels bad for it, but she tried and everything caused some kind of allergic reaction.
She also feels bad for wearing her very simple dresses, most of them self-made, as she is of the strong believe that she is an eyesore to everyone like that.

Personality:
Lynea always was a very cheery and happy person, even though she was the only child around, lost her parents early in her life and spent most of her time in bed or generally inside. She always believed in the good in the world, and thus is easy to trick into believing even the most ridiculous lies.
There is only one thing Lynea really hates: being alone. On the farm she always had numerous animals around to protect her, so without anyone she is horrified, fearing a sudden attack of mistlings. It also reminds her of the evening her parents didn't come home, even though she can't remember that too clearly.
Lynea really cares about others, most of the time even more than about herself. She'd probably die for a friend, even if they were not that close.
Another thing to note about Lynea is her insecurity. She didn't deal with many people in her life on the farm, so she is scared of doing something wrong and thus really shy.

History:
Lynea lost her parents in a cave-in (they both were miners) when she was only 3 and was thus raised by a friend of her father, Wolfgang, who used to be a traveling merchant, but settled to start a farm, just so Lynea could grow up 'safely'. The farm is located on the Outskirts, so it wasn't as safe as it could have been, but all that Wolfgang could afford. She spent most of her time inside, not only because of the mistlings but also because of her weak immune system. When she got out though, Lynea helped her adoptive father a lot, be it with the crops or the animals. She always had a special connection to the animals, but no connection was as strong as the connection to a newborn Sprite she found hurt in the field. Even though Wolfgang tried to talk her out of it, Lynea persisted on caring for it and raising it. She named it 'Sparkle'(she was only 9, okay...) and they became friends, but as they both grew older Lynea set Sparkle free, because the other animals were too scared of the little Sprite. Of course she was sad to loose a friend like that, but she knew it was for the best. Still, people had heard of the little girl and her tame Sprite and soon word reached the Academy. She was offered a scholarship but could not take it until now, because of different illnesses that made it impossible for her to move to Atlantis. Now that her health improved, she finally is able to start her studies.

Other: She learned a bit of earth magic from Sparkle, just minor things like moving a pebble around in the air.

Relationships: None as of yet.
