Lyra Belacqua is a young girl who lives in a parallel universe in which a person's dæmon resides outside the body in the form of an animal. Her dæmon, is named Pantalaimon. The story begins depicting Lyra's interactions with local gyptian children and her friend, Roger. When her father, Lord Asriel, visits the college of which she is a ward. Lyra saves him from assassination by a representative of the Magisterium. She learns that the motive was to prevent Asriel from presenting evidence that particles called Dust were flowing from a parallel universe into the far North. In spite of the Magisterium's official insistence that Dust does not exist, Asriel obtains funding from the college to mount an expedition to explore the phenomenon.
