"I'll get back up. I've got to, y'know? Someone with the proud Camry name can't let her friends down!"

Lera Camry is an exchange student enrolled in Infinity Institute's high school program. She plays the part of an American (though her acting skills are questionable), but she really comes from the alien world of Midchilda. She also maintains a secret identity as a magical girl. When she first came to Earth, she worked alone to recover Broken Ground, a stolen Intelligent Device that her mother made. Her mission was hard and took a toll on her, but with the help of her friends, her mother, and even some of her enemies, Lera learned to turn to others and have faith in herself. She is a skilled aerial mage who has partnered with Soaring Sky, a melee specialist Device originally repaired by her mother. Lera is a cheerful, sincere, and loyal girl who always tries to help others. She joined the Tuners Organization after they aided her and to support her friend who joined. Now that she has recovered Broken Ground and has no doubt of her mother's love and pride in her, Lera can live her dream of being a brave mage adventurer. She can discover what that dream really entails, while helping Soaring Sky discover his origins and find Broken Ground's chance for redemption.

Background and Timeline

Background

Lera was born on Midchilda to Meria and Frederick Camry. It was a happy family for the first four years of Lera's life.

Her father came from the Belkan Autonomous Region, where he worked as an archaeologist. While exploring some ancient Belkan ruins, he discovered a damaged Armed Device. It barely activated, but he took it home to his wife. Meria, being a stunningly talented Midchildan Meister, repaired the device and named it Soaring Sky. Frederick wouldn't live to see the restored Device. He died in an accident when she was only four, leaving her an only child. Meria poured her energy into her daughter, especially as Lera was really all that was left of the life that Meria expected for herself.

Lera thought herself a colossal disappointment to her mother. Lera tried to follow in her mother's footsteps, keep the family tradition alive, and eventually prove better than her mother. She grew up and immediately began being tutored in the magic needed to create Devices.

By the time that Lera turned twelve, everyone but Meria could see that her daughter was not destined to be a Meister. She didn't have the brain for magical engineering and the like; she could barely make a very basic Storage Device.

She showed much more skill at using Devices, truth be told. Her mother felt some dissatisfaction when she stopped learning how to create Devices and started learning to use them instead -- including combat applications. She considered a career with the TSAB, but decided a tour as a mage adventurer was more exciting. Her mother, naturally, was mortified at the idea that her daughter would put herself in such danger. She relented after some consideration and allowed Lera to practice.

Lera dove into it. In her mother's workshop, she found Soaring Sky. She started practicing with Sky; she developed a bond with the irritable, often arrogant Device. He pretended to think that she was an idiot, but a measure of mutual respect (or maybe mutual desire to annoy each other) developed.

Then, one day, her workshop was broken into and an Intelligent Device, Broken Ground, was stolen.

A tracking device on Broken Ground let her trace the weapon to Earth. Meria had no particular desire to admit that an Intelligent Device had been stolen and taken to another world with far more problems, especially to the TSAB. She reached a deal with her daughter: Lera was free to go to Earth, to be a mage adventurer, as long as she found and brought Broken Ground back. Lera readily agreed to this task and her mother permitted her to take Soaring Sky with her.

She enrolled in Infinity Institute as a transfer student at the beginning of September, as a third year middle school student. She has used her Intelligent Device a couple of times since then, adding to the magical girls moving about, to help deal with a couple of troublesome youma.

Fall 2013

Lera enrolls at Infinity Institute. She befriends Yukimi Amane when the two meet at the arcade.
She participates in the sports festival.
When the seven Star Shards appear, she helps to pursue them. While doing so, she first thinks up the name Magical Cheeseburger Propane-chan.
She also befriended Ren Aizawa and Endo Naoki, and would ultimately form a team with them. Yukimi gave her a necessary nudge.

Winter 2013

Like the rest of the Sister Schools students, Lera traveled to Hokkaido. She spent quality time with Minako Aino and Yukimi. She also encountered the final Star Shard (and a part of Mytho's heart).
She also joined the Sister Schools' play, meeting Usagi Tsukino... who she already knew as Sailor Moon. Lera was cast as Quincy Adams.
When monsters went on a rampage, trying to destroy landmarks in Tokyo, Lera also rushed out to help them! This included an encounter with Signum, the Cloud Knight for the first time.

Spring 2014

Yukimi discovered that Lera was pursuing Broken Ground after she read a message from her mother. The two decided to find him; they found a tracker in the sewers with the help of Sailor Moon and Kaitou Jeanne. They discovered that Broken Ground was stolen by her mother's former assistant, Jaren Zastava.
And not to soon, because Jaren ambushed Ren, Lera, and Kuniko Saito in the harbor!
Lera dueled Fate Testarossa for a Jewel Seed and lost; Fate, showing mercy on her, took her to the hospital to recuperate. Lera didn't forget that kindness. She began pursuing the Jewel Seeds, working with Ren, Endo, and Nanoha Takamachi for that purpose.
Lera graduated from middle school. A ghost tried to trap her, but Yukimi helped free her by showing her a text message from her mother: that she was very proud of her.
Lera celebrated her 16th birthday at the amusement park with her friends! After everything that happened, it was a necessary breather.
The attacks on landmarks came to a head, revealed as plot by the Ends of the World. At Tokyo Tower, Vita of the Wolkenritter unleashed a dragon which covered up an attack on the World Tree. Ultimately, they repelled these threats, and Lera thought she could breathe easy... but then Soular used his mirror Nakewameke to try to control the World Tree -- and destroy all life.
Lera fought Jaren with Lux Lapsa and lost. Lera didn't take it well.
The hunt for the Jewel Seeds led to a ploy by Fate to capture several, which led to a massive battle. Their competing wishes led to a massive explosion by the Jewel Seed, which left Lera, Fate, Ren, Endo, Nanoha, and many others injured.
Lera meets Setsuna Higashi outside of a store selling sunglasses. She forgets her wallet, but the two talk a little. Mysteriously, when she returns, the sunglasses are missing. When Setsuna later reads her fortune, the chances of getting those sunglasses look bleak.

Summer 2014

During Tanabata, Lera decides to protect her new friend Setsuna. She transforms in front of her. This prompts a frank discussion later, in which Lera tells Setsuna more about who she really is and what she is scared of.
The Jewel Seeds Incident reaches its climax! Fate and Nanoha duel, but the Seeds are stolen by Homura Akemi. In the confusion, Eas of Labyrinth knocks Lera away -- and the two have an explosive argument afterward. Lera sticks by Fate afterward, even after her mother rejects her.
After talking to Setsuna -- who gives her the sunglasses that Lera was looking for -- she goes with the rest into the Garden of Time. She fights Eas there. Fate appears to help them, and they all fight Precia together.
Afterward, Lera encounters a wounded Eas, who shouts at her for saving her in the Garden. There isn't much time to rest, though; Jaren begins pursuing Ren for his mysterious master, trying to seize her Device, and he soundly thrashes Lera. Fortunately, Lera and Sailor Moon find his apartment... but this prompts Jaren to pursue rather drastic action, as his employer grows impatient.
Lera, too, is getting desperate, becoming afraid of what her mother will think of her -- and that she may call her home. She runs into Eas one night at the shrine. The next day, she runs into Setsuna, who runs off in tears. Lera can't chase after, because Jaren found what he was looking for. He raises the Guardian of Ten-Thousand Points, a powerful Ancient Belkan Lost Logia. Better known as Citadel.
Lera takes off after Jaren when he flees and he breaks then steals Sky before he throws her to her death. Fortunately, Eas catches her, and takes her somewhere safe. Lera learns that her friend Setsuna and Eas are one and the same, then.
When Lera limps back to Lindy Harlaown's house, she talks to Fate about her mother. A few tears are shed. She never expected her mother to come to Earth, but that gave her the inspiration she need. And just in time, too, because when they encounter Citadel, they discover his goal: to return to Ancient Belka, and bring part of downtown Tokyo with him!
Working with Ren and Fate, a plan is hatched. Lera recovered Sky and, working with Ren, Endo, and other magical girls, managed to defeat Jaren and Citadel. Broken Ground is recovered, Soaring Sky restored, and Citadel learns that home is lost... but maybe he could have one on Earth. Sky, however, has the first of his strange flashbacks after being recovered.
While things are much better with Lera's mother and Sky, there are new complications. She tries to help Broken Ground recover and redeem herself. She also keeps running into Setsuna and they form a complicated friendship... which starts to involve deeper feelings than friendship.
When Lera goes to the North Pole, things come to a head. She runs into Eas while being shot through the multiverse due to Queen Beryl's curse. The two end up meeting in a cake world, where they talk and bond. Lera leaves in time to help Sailor Moon battle Metallia.
Eas decides to use the Nakisakebe card, to please Lord Mobius after what she feels is a betrayal. She proves powerful, but Lera reaches out. They fall in love despite everything, but that isn't enough to save Setsuna. It's ultimately because of her friends, Cure Peach, Cure Pine, and Cure Berry that she decides to stay on Earth.
The trip to Okinawa starts! Lera is happy to run into her girlfriend there, but things seem to go terribly when Northa kills Setsuna in front of everyone. However, thanks to a miracle, Setsuna is saved and brought back to life... as Cure Passion! Lera spends the rest of the Okinawa trip quite happy, even helping to save Mina and the Vermillion Bird.

Fall 2014

Lera settles into a new habit. She starts to use Broken Ground as a second Device, having first gotten to during an attack by Dark Fall. She fights against the Terribads, spends time with Setsuna, and does her best to help Fate adjust to life in Tokyo.
She meets Jad Werke with Fate. The Midchildan becomes a friend, though... he proves a pie thief, too.
Unfortunately, tragedy strikes during the sports festival dance when the Golden Age PMC invades! Lera ultimately joins the magical girl resistance, and fights off the PMC and Alyssa Searrs and Miyu Greer! In the end, they return to their families and friends, safe... but with questions.
The Protodaimons begin to appear! In one terrible case, one takes Setsuna's Pure Heart Crystal during an attack at the museum, where the Black Knight also appeared. Lera is left shaken by this -- and other events, as her girlfriend comes into contact with the powerful Pretty Cure Hunter, Phantom.
When the Keys appear, Lera tries to help secure them. This includes one that appears -- and then vanishes, only to whisk Lera, Fate, Setsuna, Ren, and Endo off to a secret space installation. They discover a little more of Souverain Heraut's true nature, which might explain why Jaren wanted to steal it -- and about Fallen Stern! Soaring Sky, in the meantime, has yet another strange flashback -- and nearly shuts. down. Nonetheless, she helps her friends to stop the drones sent after them, and safely return home.
Unfortunately, the pursuit of another Key ends in tragedy. Lera fails to recover the Key -- and a protodaimon kills five girls, despite Lera's and Sailor Moon's best efforts. Lera becomes depressed, but tries to hide it.
This culminates in Soaring Sky shutting down during another fight with Vita. Fate leaps to protect her, where she gets injured. Lera is left despondent, after Fate is injured, Bardiche is shattered, and Soaring Sky seems to have shut off entirely.

Powers and Abilities

Lera is a Midchildan mage. She can utilize magic through a Device; the partnership of this Device is critical to using her magic. She has two Devices: an Armed Device, named Soaring Sky, and an Intelligent Device, named Broken Ground. While using Sky, she activates her Perihelion mode; while using Ground, she activates her Aphelion mode.

Barrier Jacket Perihelion

Lera has been partners with Soaring Sky since she was thirteen. She has a close bond with Sky and he is, without a doubt, one of her closest friends and confidants. More than that, Lera is able to draw on Soaring Sky to cast powerful magic. Sky is a rebuilt Armed Device, turned into an Intelligent Device; he uses a customized Midchildan style for powerful magical melee attacks and some ranged blasts. Soaring Sky has since been upgraded into Soaring Sky Perihelion, which increases his flight spell capabilities and his melee components. He normally is called Soaring Sky.

She can also perform some basic magical tricks and spells. Soaring Sky is capable of broadcasting a two dimensional hologram of data that he scans. This can be used to display maps and the like. Lera can also make a light orb appear, levitate small items, and other basic magical tricks. These can be performed in Standby Mode, in which Soaring Sky takes the form of a dark red writing pen.

Lera can make Soaring Sky change into two different combat modes. Slasher Form is when Lera splits him into two swords. Striker Form is when Lera combines the two swords into a bastard sword-sized weapon. Both forms can emit fields of plasma and energy blasts. Her barrier jacket in these mode emphasizes speed and impact power over defensive capabilities. Her spells include:

Spell	System	Category	Type	Description
Aura Surge	Midchildan	Attack	Melee	Soaring Sky's blade flashes a brilliant white on impact.
Bind Break	Midchildan	Support	Decline	Anti-bind rings appear and disable any binds on Lera.
Inferno Slasher	Midchildan	Attack	Melee	Soaring Sky shoots a point-blank fire explosion off from his blade.
Jet Ignition	Midchildan	Attack	Melee	Lera creates a plasma aura around herself, then rams an enemy at supersonic speeds.
Rapid Skyfall	Midchildan	Attack	Melee	While in Gladiator Form, Lera does three quick strikes with Sky's twin blades.
Sentinel Flash	Midchildan	Defense	Shield	A bright cross-shaped flash appears in front of Sky, intercepting melee strikes.
Arc Breaker	Midchildan	Attack	Melee	Soaring Sky ignites with a massive plasma storm, then strikes twice before releasing the energy as an explosion.
Aurora Burst Ray	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	Soaring Sky splits in two, building a powerful charge, and releases a large purifying burst of energy.

Barrier Jacket Aphelion

Lera has worked with Broken Ground since the summer. She recovered him from Jaren Zastava. He wants to redeem himself after helping a dishonest man like that, but he also still wants to grow stronger. Unlike Sky, he tends to be terse and gruff, but he cares deep down. Their bond, however, is weaker, and inhibited by Ground's guilt over his past actions. His full name is Broken Ground Aphelion, because he was built to partner with Sky.

The two do not get along.

Ground has two combat modes. The first is Onager Mode, where he resembles a large clockwork hammer with a head split around a large yellow gem. This is primarily an energy blast-firing mode; his spells resemble magma and lava. The second is Lantern Mode, where he resembles a clockwork buckler that creates a field of energy on the inside to fill the gaps. Ground specializes in defensive spells in this form.

Spell	System	Category	Type	Description
Fault Siege	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	Broken Ground emits a powerful shockwave, which emanates out from him as a starting point.
Magma Bomb	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	A large ball of lava-like energy is thrown at an enemy, after which it explodes in a colossal fireball.
Mantle Heart	Midchildan	Defense	Shield	A dome of interlocking golden hexagons appears around Lera and blocks incoming damage.
Mountain Aegis	Midchildan	Support	Increase	Light imbues Ground's targets, removing their binds and reinforcing their defensive capabilities.
Sentinel Arc	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	While in Lantern Mode, Broken Ground flies like a discus at his enemy.
Bombadier Cascade	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	Broken Ground's hammerhead splits in two, emitting a swarm of tiny orbs of light, which converge on an enemy and then explode violently.
Strata Excelsior	Midchildan	Attack	Bombardment	A powerful shockwave erupts around Ground like a dome, then shoots in a direction of Lera's choosing.
