If you blink, you might miss her in the adventure, but her image takes up most of a page in the book.
This is a very cute figure and quick to paint, especially with the cat familiar hanging out between her feet.
The sculpted facial expression is neutral, so you could paint her to look more pleasant than this. As I've painted her, Lyrie is a very unhappy wizard.
(Alison "Jubilee" Scheirman says it is dangerous to scratch one's head with a wand. Maybe Lyrie puts the safety catch on, to avoid zapping herself in the face, or maybe she's just that reckless.)
I sculpted a rock base (as I do on most figures that I paint), and then I decided it needed something for interest, so I came up with the idea of the live mouse, the piece of cheese, and the dead (wand-zapped) mouse between them. Did Lyrie put the cheese there out of malice, to lure hapless mice? Does this mouse punk feel lucky? Why isn't the cat the one hunting the mice? What do I have against mice or rats (see my rendition of halfling archer Dicarus Darksword), but not chipmunks or squirrels? You draw your own conclusions. The colors on Lyrie are very muted, so I had to make sure the cheese (yellow) and the dead mouse (red-pink) would be legible but not steal too much attention.
Enjoy,
Derek
