Initially, Lyraa is perplexed by Byleth. They are alike in many ways, yet profoundly different. She admires Byleth’s confidence and strength, aspiring to carry herself with the same quiet certainty. Around them, Lyraa feels comfortable asking questions and expressing herself without fear of judgment or ridicule. When Jeralt dies, Lyraa becomes deeply concerned for Byleth, though she is uncertain how best to support them through their grief. Later, during the Imperial invasion, Byleth’s defeat causes Lyraa to lose faith. After the Death Knight reflects her spell back at her, causing long lasting damage, Lyraa panics and flees the battlefield. Lyraa is astonished to discover that Byleth survived the five year timeskip. After rekindling their friendship, she follows Byleth loyally in the war against the Empire, helping secure victory. Her trust in Byleth becomes unwavering, and she is willing to fight for them without hesitation. During peace time, Lyraa steps down from her duties to focus building her honey bee farm with Ferdinand. Despite their busy lives, Byleth often visits whenever they can, enjoying the honey Lyraa proudly produces.
Linhardt is the first person at the Academy Lyraa feels truly comfortable around, finding his blunt honesty refreshing and trustworthy. Despite this, she initially sees him as lazy and unreliable, often frustrated by his lack of effort and constant tardiness. The two frequently exchange snarky remarks and occasionally clash, but their conversations are engaging enough that neither takes the other’s insults too seriously. Lyraa is not afraid to openly call Linhardt out on his behaviour, and after his carelessness leads to her getting hurt during the mock battle, Linhardt genuinely apologises and begins putting more effort into helping others. Both Lyraa and Linhardt share a curiosity for unconventional applications of magic and enjoy experimenting with new ideas alongside Lysithea, despite her insistence that many of their projects are pointless wastes of time. Their shared creativity and willingness to think outside the box strengthens their friendship. After the time skip and upon Byleth’s return, Linhardt is one of the few students willing to defect from the Empire, greatly impressing Lyraa. The two quickly return to their familiar friendship and playful bickering as they fight together against the Empire, reclaiming friends such as Lysithea and Ferdinand as they go. When Lyraa realises Linhardt has feelings for Lysithea, she encourages him to confess. After the war, she helps Linhardt and Lysithea research a cure for Lysithea’s condition, and later attends their wedding alongside Ferdinand. In peace time, Lyraa and Linhardt continue meeting regularly to discuss magical research, inventions, and new applications for their spells.
