We’ve got a special guest coming to celebrate the New Year! Here’s Lyre, a cat warrior from Gallia, and she’s wearing a special kimono for the celebrations!

You might remember her twin sister, Lethe, who previously came to celebrate the New Year in Askr. Lyre’s kimono is a lot like the one Lethe wore, but with a whole new color scheme!

That doll she’s brought with her is called a shishimai, and it’s used as part of a traditional New Year’s lion dance. That band around its head looks a little familiar… Is that supposed to be Ranulf?

Lyre has graced the start of the year with a truly gorgeous outfit, and seeing her vibrant look makes me think we’ll have a bright year ahead. Maybe this is the year she’ll finally catch Ranulf’s eye!
