You can drink a liter of water now.
 
Ah yes, a possible orphaned-since-fillyhood Lyra, before being under P-Celly’s wings.
 
Could LyraBon still be an ambiguous lesbian comic relief duo? The powers-that-be will only have the final say on this issue and its kin||, if the staff still have the gall and the gonads to fulfill their (and your) wishes||. Then again, this cartoon is for the general audience.
 
Why not yet a canon transvestite character?

Without that all she has is the humans thing.
I personally feel there’s a lot more to Lyra’s ‘character’, both in canon and within the fandom.
 
  • Bon Bon’s best friend/BEST FRIEND/lover  
  • Tends to be the ‘weirdo’ to Bon Bon’s ‘straight man’ (or is generally depicted as a bit strange and/or obsessed with something)  
  • Has other ships that include: Spike, Octavia, Noteworthy, Rainbow Dash, Cheerilee, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle, Big Mac, Rarity, Derpy Hooves, Fluttershy and Shoeshine  
  • Generally tomboyish or has some tomboyish tendencies  
  • Human obsessed  
  • Hand obsessed (doesn’t necessarily have to go hand-in-hand (olol) with ‘human obsessed’ from what I’ve seen)  
  • Sitting Lyra  
  • ‘Background Pony’ Lyra (and her characterisation therein)  
  • ‘Anthropology’ Lyra (may count as ‘human obsessed’)  
  • ‘Heartstrings’ Lyra  
  • Irrational exuberance Lyra  
  • One of Twilight’s old Canterlot friends  
  • ‘Excitable’ and ‘curious’ (from the My Little Pony Collectible Card Game)  
  • Human-in-Equestria/Anon’s waifu/lover  
  • Musician (I’m sure she doesn’t have that cutie mark for nothing!)  
  • High level of magical talent (since she canonically went to Princess Celestia’s School For Gifted Unicorns)  
  • Princess Cadance’s bridesmaid
     
    I’m probably (almost definitely) missing some. Some of what I listed here is mutually exclusive, but you’ll generally find a mix and match of those elements whenever Lyra is depicted (at least in my opinion).
     
    LyraBon is a popular shipping pair, so I understand that it may seem like that’s all there is to both ponies on the surface. I also understand I’m pretty biased in saying anything about Lyra (or even Bon Bon or the two as a shipping pair), yet I really believe there’s a lot more to Lyra than just ‘Bon Bon’s girlfriend’ and/or ‘human obsessed’ (and more to Bon Bon than ‘Lyra’s girlfriend’, ‘confectioner’, ‘grumpy and constantly unamused pony’ and/or ‘Secret Agent’, though I’ll admit she probably has a lot less characterisation, both in canon and in the fandom overall, than Lyra).
     
    There has definitely been a surge of LyraBon art over the past half-a-year or so with ‘Slice of Life’, ‘All’s Fair in Love and Friendship Games’, the startup of Season 5 (and all the cute little Lyra and Bon Bon moments) and even the USA’s Gay Marriage decision, so it’s probably saturated all the other depictions of Lyra as of late. Hell, I’m guilty of drawing (and consuming) a lot of LyraBon art myself. I enjoy shipping them, thus I enjoy drawing them and consuming any little morsel of it.
     
    PHANTOM RIDER, I SWEAR YOU’RE LIKE A MAGNET FOR ME CREATING GIANT WALLS OF TEXT! :D

Yup, she is…
 
about reducing Lyra’s relationships to a monotonous one with Bon2/S.D..
 
 
Can’t we all just experiment with her character more?
