=== Visvalker ===
=== Visvalker ===
Lycia is a [[Visvalker]], meaning she has a subconscious connection to the spirits of other Mundi. This has led to her developing an ability to communicate with animals, especially magical creatures, on an intuitive level. She has also quickly learned to perform simple [[spells]] without a wand, or even just by willing it, and to bind the magic within her to her body. Lycia being a Visvalker is especially unusual as not only is she not the only Visvalker currently alive, but she actually has befriended Kathrin Summerdale, who is another Visvalker.

=== History ===
=== History ===
Lycia is the daughter of Amelia and Bernard Wintergale. After her birth, her biological parents decided to give her away to allow her a happy childhood rather than growing up in exile. They wove a [[spell]] around her to hide her from magical eyes and left her at the doorstep of Jannet and Brenton Millwright.

The Millwrights, who had recently lost their child as it was stillborn, decided to adopt the girl and raise her as their own daughter. The basket contained a letter which stated Lycia's first name. There was also a necklace in the shape of a silver moon with a blue opal, and a strange snowflake-shaped piece of jewelry, which later turned out to be a Niviculum. The letter instructed the Millwrights to sell the necklace if they needed money but to give the Niviculum to Lycia when she came of age. However, the Millwrights kept the necklace and gave it to Lycia.

Brenton Millwright worked from home as a financial consultant, and her mother was a teacher. When Lycia was 4 years old, her mother received an offer for a position at Kielder Elementary School, and they moved from their home in Nottingham to the sleepy village of Kielder. Later, Brenton accepted a job in the nearby town of Hexham, where he commuted daily. When Lycia switched from elementary to middle school, she traveled there with him every day and returned with a family friend.
