Which came first? Lyra's name and aesthetic or her lore?

oh definitely her name and aesthetic, her design and name are both based on the galaxy/night sky + greek influence (actaea is a moon of a planet, as well as a greek nymph; lyra the constellation is orpheus' lyre; athene is an alternative spelling of athena, goddess of wisdom); she has her starry silver eyes, and blue hair like the night. then i found that everything somehow tied up well with the lore i would later come to form!
