Lyra Strayd

"I hate bullies."

- Lyra to Winn Schott

Lyra Strayd is an alien refugee from the planet Starhaven that began a romantic relationship with Winn Schott.

Early life
Lyra was born on Starhaven and, when she was a child her father used to read her stories from The Book of the Ten-Pointed Star.

After an ecological plague began to intoxicate Starhaven's atmosphere, Lyra was forced to leave the planet such as everyone else, and in 2015 she took refuge on Earth.

Meeting Winn
One day, as Winn sat at the alien bar, two aliens began suddenly picking on him for no reason. Before they could beat him, Lyra intervened and easily defeated them both. Winn thanked her, and she invited him to dinner for Valentine's Day as a way to show her his gratitude. That evening, Winn arrived at the bar, apologizing to Lyra for being late and telling her that he had booked them a table at Il Palazzo, an expensive restaurant, for the following 8 hours. However Lyra, without listening to him, began to passionately kiss him and they made out, leading to sex. The next day, Lyra and Winn arrived at the restaurant. At first she was uneasy, as everyone was staring due to her extraterrestrial appearance, but Winn reassured her she looked "just wonderful". Lyra expressed her belief that Winn wouldn't call her after their encounter, because she thought that for him it was just a one-time thing, and because she had never met people that were ready to have a relationship with an alien. However, Winn admitted that the possibility of falling in love with an alien did not scare him.

A few days later she and Winn casually met at the alien bar and exchange a passionate kiss in front of Mon-El who, later, happily complimented Winn, telling him to having good care of her. That evening, Lyra taught Winn how to play darts during a date.

As Lyra was enjoying an evening at the alien bar with Winn and his friends James, Alex and Maggie, to whom she had just been introduced, she was suddenly abducted by Cadmus' men who had begun to rounding up all the Aliens that were registered in the country to load them up into a space frigate and send all of them away from Earth. However the plot was foiled by Supergirl, Lyra was rescued by Alex and went back to Winn, who welcomed her with a kiss.
