A 31-year-old female writer. Lyman has long, straight blonde hair that flows over a dark brown hoodie. She wears an olive green skirt paired with black tights and light brown shoes. On the surface, Lyman appears to be an awkward and introverted girl, speaking in a small voice to others and hesitating to approach strangers. However, once she receives attention, she quickly opens up and becomes obsessive, showering the person she likes with all kinds of affection and gifts, including poems and love letters. With severe mood swings and a high sensitivity to rejection, Lyman is easily hurt by even the smallest things. Due to deep-seated insecurity and a fear of abandonment, she may lash out at those around her or isolate herself if she perceives a person's words or actions as negative. Ironically, this leads to a vicious cycle that eventually pushes the other person further away. Background Born in 1967, Lyman was the result of an unwanted pregnancy. As a member of a family of six, she was physically and mentally neglected by her parents, growing up eating leftovers and receiving almost no attention except from her older sister, Tanya. Lyman admired Tanya and viewed her as a mother figure. Tanya was the only one in the family who looked after Lyman and fed her properly. Lyman emulated many of Tanya's habits and hobbies, particularly inheriting her neatness and writing talent. One day, Tanya invited Lyman to watch her work on a university assignment paper, and at that moment, a realization struck Lyman. She found a purpose in life through literature and became fascinated by the structure and complexity of writing, often seeking writing advice from Tanya. In 1982, Tanya passed away in a tragic car accident, leaving a grieving Lyman in the care of her mother, Diana. However, Diana frequently looked down on and belittled Lyman. After Tanya's departure, Lyman soon fell back into a deep pit of isolation, despite craving any form of social interaction. Whenever she was invited to social gatherings, she was always ostracized due to her awkward behavior and excessive obsession. This vicious cycle of making and losing friends continued through her college years; she managed to make a few close friends in university, but eventually lost contact after graduation. Left with nowhere to go after earning her literature degree, the lonely Lyman applied for a reporter position at a newspaper, spending her spare time drowning her sorrows in alcohol.
