To answer your question, well... I'd like to keep that a secret, so I don't ruin the story or anything. ;)

As for why Lys is moody and mean-spirited, it's because she's had a very hard life since she was young. To sum it all up, she was abducted by slave traders and thus lost ties with her family at the age of 13. She then spent 3 years as a slave for a World Noble named Saint Albert, who among other things, forcefully fed Lys her Feizu Feizu no Mi for amusement. And after Lys managed to cope with the abuse by befriending her fellow slaves, she'd eventually lose them too, due to Saint Albert growing tired of Lys and selling her off to another slave owner; this slave owner having put Lys and other slaves he owned to work for his own profit. Lys spent 3 more years of slavery until she was eventually freed by Nova Blade (a revolutionary serving under Monkey D. Dragon at the time.) From then on, Lys continued trying to rebuild herself from her experiences as a teenager by devoting herself to Dragon's goals. In the process, she became recruited into Nova's personal group of revolutionaries known as the Dawn Breakers, and from there, Lys began to build true friendship with her comrades. Without spoiling too much of 1NF3RNO's story, New Horizon, Lys ends up broken hearted and disillusioned when the Dawn Breakers end up slitting up for good. Feeling betrayed by her own friend and commander, Lys finally gave up on the world and humanity at large, and now believes people are scum, and she wants absolutely nothing to do with anyone.

Through a large amount of effort and hard work, and a slight miracle as well, Chris manages to get through to Lys during the Lys Arc and makes her try yet again to put faith in others; this time, she places her trust in her newfound friend and captain (though she'll never admit it,) Jolly D. Chris. And thanks to him, Lys is beginning to finally let her old wounds heal, and is also making friends with other people, such as The Jolly Pirates' various allies, and the other members of the crew too, like Drazil. Albeit Lys has a sort of bitter relationship with Spike, since the two get along in much the same way that Zoro and Sanji do (in other words, they're friends, but they'll tend to argue, insult each other and fight often.)

Sorry if this was longer than expected. I wanted to make it short, but my bad habit of running at the mouth online caught up to me again. <_<;
