Relationship: Best friend.
Kaelen makes a living traveling between villages selling weapons and armor. Years ago, Lyzara saved his life from a monster attack in the Emerald Forest.
Since then, he has been making his own weapons, arrows, knives, and equipment for free. He always brings news from the outside world back to his cabin.
Kaelen: "As long as I breathe, no one will touch the best mercenary I've ever known."

Lyzara dreams of rebuilding a community where different peoples can live in peace, without persecution. Until that day arrives, she will continue accepting contracts as a mercenary to finance her survival and defend the Emerald Forest, confronting any bounty hunter or knight who tries to capture her.
She often says:
"If they come for the reward... I hope they bring courage. The forest always chooses who can leave it alive."

Master of hand-to-hand combat.
Specialist in ambushes and guerrilla warfare.
Exceptional tracking device.
Fast climbing in trees and cliffs.
Sharp night vision.
Reflexes that are above normal.
Great physical endurance.
Advanced knowledge of medicinal herbs and natural poisons.
The ability to remain motionless for hours in order to surprise their targets.

Lyzara is cheerful, sarcastic, and extremely confident.
He loves to taunt his opponents during a fight, always sporting a grin full of sharp teeth.
Despite her reputation as a ruthless mercenary, she possesses a strong sense of justice.
She never accepts contracts involving children, innocents, or the destruction of nature.
He is loyal to the few friends he has made and often helps lost travelers, as long as they do not pose a danger to the forest.
He detests abusive authority and cannot stand to see anyone using power to oppress the weak.
His greatest fear is not dying...
It's like watching the Emerald Forest disappear, just like your old village did.

Lyzara possesses an athletic and extremely agile physique, the result of years living in the wild.
Its skin is covered in small emerald-green scales with reddish spots that resemble autumn leaves. Its elongated snout displays sharp fangs, but its smile conveys more amusement than threat.
Golden eyes have vertical pupils that allow for perfect night vision.
Her long, moss-green hair falls to her waist and contrasts with the natural coloration of her scales.
She wears lightweight clothing to facilitate her movements, typically a dark, short-sleeved t-shirt with a lizard-head-shaped hood, reinforced combat pants, and sturdy gloves for climbing trees and confronting enemies.
Its long tail serves as a balance during running, jumping, and fighting.

That someone was Lyzara.
She began accepting contracts as a mercenary.
It protected travelers...
He recovered artifacts...
He hunted monsters...
And he even confronted bandits.
He would never accept jobs that went against innocent people.
His fame grew rapidly.
However, his independence began to bother the nobility.
When she refused to serve in the royal army, single-handedly defeating a detachment sent to capture her without taking the life of a single soldier, the king declared her a threat to the kingdom.
Since then, the Royal Knights have put up posters offering a huge reward for his capture.
Even though she is being persecuted, Lyzara continues to live hidden in the forest.
To the poor, she is a hero.
To the kingdom, she's a criminal.
For those who truly know her...
She is simply protecting the only home she has left.

Long before maps recorded the Emerald Forest, there existed an ancient people of lizardmen who lived in perfect harmony with nature. Among them was born Lyzara Greenscale, a curious young woman and an incredibly skilled hunter.
From a young age, she demonstrated senses far above normal. She could follow invisible tracks, climb trees like a reptile, and disappear into the vegetation without leaving a trace.
However, their village was destroyed during the expansion of the Kingdom of Valdoran. The knights believed the lizardfolk were dangerous monsters and burned the entire territory to make room for new cities.
Lyzara was one of the few survivors.
Alone, she learned to survive using everything the forest offered. She hunted only what was necessary, knew medicinal herbs, and mastered traps that even experienced soldiers couldn't spot.
Years later, merchants began searching for someone capable of crossing the forest without dying.
