Miyako Lyria

Background
Miyako Lyria ライリアー 宮古 is a Japanese-American penseel, born in Okinawa. Her English dad died when she was 9 years old, which caused a huge impact on her life, until she met Mizuki Hoshimiya 星宮 水木--her new stepsister, when her mom re-married. They became very good friends and decided to start a band together--because Miyako's dad used to just love music. They named it Rockin' Sakura--after her dad's favorite type of music, rock--and her mom's favorite flower, Sakura. That was her 'extremely touching origin' of her band, a story she loved to tell and mention in her songs.

Personality
Miyako's personality is quite braggy and stubborn; however she is caring as she always reminds Yurika to "bring her guitar" (Yurika is in the school's rock band) which Yurika never forgets, but will respond with a smile. She also tells Mizuki bedtime stories, however she sometimes accidentally scares her with some quite gory and unescessary details. She has been known to sign her name on very random places, such as Sho's dictation book, on Mizuki's phone cover, and one of her own jackets, saying that those would be very valuable once she was famous.

Talents or Hobbies
Miyako is talented in singing and, surprisingly, poetry. She locks all her poetic trophies and certificates in a safe in her room, as she feels embarrassed about them. However, both Mizuki and Yurika urge her not to do so. It was stated that she also liked reading horror stories, although once she had regretted telling one when Mizuki had been so scared that she screamed and broke the light, which caused her to scream even louder.

Lifestyle
Miyako lives in a quite cheap, but elegant and spacious Japanese house with Miyako and two other band members, Yurika Tamaki 玉木 優里香 (her cousin on her mom's side), and Sho Tamaki 玉木 翔(Yurika's older brother).
