Dear Diary,
Hello. My name is Lyra Belacqua, and I am twelve. I live in Oxford, England, at Jordan College. My two best friends are Roger, the cook's son, and Billy Costa. Billy is a gyptian and his family's boat comes to our town every fall and spring. My daemon's name is Pantalaimon.
I en't very smart, cause I only ever learn things from a Scholar when they try to teach me. I know a bit o' geometry and biology, things like that. I always tell about what I'm learning when my Uncle Asriel comes to visit. He is an explorer! He goes to the North on exciting adventures. When I was in the Retiring Room Listening to them, I heard them talking about Dust. Boy I wish I could go to the North someday... He takes care of me, cuz my parents died in a dirigible accident when I was real little. He got me this diary in Loza Kremble.
Signed,
Lyra
