Lyrium

Lyrium is the youngest member of the crew, and often tries to use that fact to his advantage to get what he wants. It doesn't work. He continues to do it anyway.

Whenever someone not from the Red Tide is around, he talks in a thick "pirate" accent, even though literally none of the others talk that way. Sometimes he also does it randomly (or if he's trying to get on someone's nerves).

Being fairly young, Lyrium frequently switches between boundless energy and absolute exhaustion, and most of the crew know how to tucker him out and get him to take a nap if he's being particularly troublesome. He almost always sleeps curled around one of the bigger dragons in the crew, usually Pale or Cove, but if Despair isn't too busy, he'll cling to her as well. That's not to say he doesn't wrap himself around the other crew members as well, they just can't do much when he does, so that's usually reserved for when they're getting rest as well.

When Lyrium was really young, barely older than a hatchling, he snuck aboard the Red Tide as a stowaway. It took over a week for the crew (which was a little smaller than it is now) to find and catch him, and by the time they did, they had no idea where he'd come from. He refused to say, and eventually admitted he had nowhere to go anyway.

Despair allowed Lyrium to stay on the ship, provided he help out with some of the (easier) chores in exchange, which he took to like fire, ecstatic to be able to help. He quickly became part of the family, comfortably filling the role of annoying little brother (whom is dearly loved), or sometimes known as "the small boy we keep on the ship."
