Tyrra is the captain of the Dacardian Yooyuball Team, and plays as a defender. She was injured in the storm that hit Dacardia, and this caused her and the team to miss out on their planned 2022 debut at the Altador Cup while her leg healed.
Are you still sore about all that?
What?! No, that can’t—but we just made it to the Cup!
This is terrible. We’ve worked so hard to get where we are, and at every turn something’s stopped us, and then we finally make it and we...
You’re right, Jarek. They all came to our aid when we needed it, and with this Grey Curse...
We should try to help the other teams break it, or at least cheer them up if we can. Placing so low doesn’t matter – we don’t play Yooyuball to win, we play it because we want to be part of something bigger.
What do you think we should do, Jarek?
We could build something to help all the other teams get back on their paws! Now that, my friend, sounds like a game plan.
Get back here! I need those nails, you silly—Ah! Volgoth!
Psh! I told you you could call me by my first name, remember—wait a second. Not that we’re not happy to see you, but, um… why are we seeing you right now?
It will be. And it’s going to be able to travel all across Neopia. We wanted to show everyone that even if things look grey right now and the Altador Cup has been cancelled, the sporting spirit is still alive.
You do have a habit of taking your shots before checking the other team’s plays. But that’s something I like about you guys. And… not gonna lie, you were right. We were pretty disappointed to come in 17th. We know we’re new and all, but… I dunno, I guess we just thought we were better than that.
How did you deal with that? You guys seem so put-together and strong as a team, I just figured you were always good sports about everything.
What do you mean?
Oh my gosh, yeah, it’s been a long time coming! Sorry I’m so nervous. I keep thinking this is a dream, and that I’ll wake up and something else will have happened to keep us away. Two years in a row – please don’t be three!
It’s not a happy story… You’ve probably heard about the huge storm that destroyed Dacardia. That was the first thing that stopped us from coming to the Altador Cup; we decided to stay home and help rebuild. Friends and family were more important than fame and glory. Things were going well… There was still a lot to do but we were in a good enough position that my team and I felt confident going to the Altador Cup. But then…
Yeah. I’m a little bit embarrassed to admit it was me who got injured… I tripped and fell over a Crabby-bot when I was getting omelettes for my teammates. We had been hard at work building a new Neohome and I wanted to treat everyone to a nice lunch…
Well I can say we won’t be relying on my leg! But that’s okay, I’m a defender so I just need to stop the Yooyuball, not chase it. It’s still a bit of a damper on us as a whole though since our team has always relied on speed and agility. That’s why “Rowdy” Roo and Camila are our star players. But just because we’re fast doesn’t mean we’re fragile. You should see some of the dives Jarek’s done to keep the Yooyuball out of the net. I’m pretty sure that guy’s indestructible.
Tyrra participated as a member of the Dacardia Yooyuball team from 2022 to 2024, although she did not begin playing in the Altador Cup until 2024.
