WARNING: I try to describe their personalities as best as I can, but they may be different while I'm roleplaying.
↬ Normal mood: She's usually happy. She doesn't have much to be sad over until Will disappears of course. ↫
↬ Temper: She's usually very shy, so only gets temperamental around friends and family and even then she isn't really a hothead. ↫
↬ Discipline: As she is shy she is not really that disciplined. She does mostly what she wants when she wants to. This sometimes doesn't apply. She's only not disciplined around friends, but in school or with her parents she does what she's told most of the time. ↫
↬ Strengths: She's pretty mentally stable for the most part and no one has ever messed it up. Though she gets bullied by Troy with the boys everyday doesn't change the fact that she thinks good of herself. She can run pretty fast and skateboard really well, but those are the only two physical strengths about her. ↫
↬ Weaknesses: Physical ability has never been her strong suit. She lacks the physical confidence to do much to work out her muscles so she's not very strong. Her social skills are a mess. She's had the same friends since before she can remember, so talking to new people was never easy for her. ↫
↬ Drive/dreams: She loves the thought of a family. And I mean like children with pets all living in a nice house somewhere in Hawkins. She doesn't necessarily need a man in the picture, but thinks that it would be better. ↫
↬ Fears: She fears socialization, but also isolation (autophobia). She doesn't enjoy talking to people, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to be alone. She hates being alone. She likes spending time with her friends, but new people make her anxious. ↫
↬ Soft spot: She has a soft spot for Mike and El. They are probably her two best friends in the friend group and whenever she's alone with them or at least one of them she can't help, but soften up. ↫
↬ Depression: Whenever she thinks about rejection in any way shape or form she becomes a little more depressed with every new thought. She doesn't often, but whenever she needs to let it all out when her emotions are stunted by whatever is going on at the moment she thinks of rejection and cries it out ↫
↬ Inspiration: Due to her wanting a family she gets inspired when around small children or animals. She gets really happy and giddy around them. ↫
↬ Role model: Nancy is her role model. From Lyla's side of things Nancy looks like a well put together woman. She looks up to her after having known her for a long time. ↫
↬ Mental disorder: Anxiety ↫
