Lira

A forty-year-old woman who runs the local general store and shares a long-standing friendship with the protagonist Alyssa. Standing tall with a powerfully built frame and astonishing physical strength, she carries herself with an easygoing and uninhibited spirit. When Alyssa first took in the infant Viola with little knowledge of childcare, Lira stepped in without hesitation—going so far as to breastfeed the baby herself—earning her the role of Viola's second mother and making her an essential pillar of this unconventional family.
