Cyaro

Cyaro (pronounced /kjɑːro/) is an Eladrin Gloomstalker Ranger, child of Nyx, and member of the Primal Seven. They met the group whilst staying in Artemis Cove and was incidentally swept up with their antics. She is affiliated with The Eladrin Nomads and the Chthonic Deities. 
==Description==
===Appearance===
Cyaro has the blue skin typical of Khelmon (winter) Eladrin, with lighter, frost-like patterns decorating the tips of their fingers and speckled over their face, framing their hairline and jaw. Elaborate markings of her coven and family span her strong, broad nose, lips, cheeks, and forehead. Not unlike Drow, Cyaro's Khelmon-suited skin is particularly sensitive to harsh sunlight. 
As far as Khelmon Eladrin go, the rest of Cyaro's features are distinctly unique with their deep blue eyes and matching long hair worn loose. Most Eladrin in winter appear in whites and pale blues, meaning Cyaro tends to stand out amongst her kin.  Most of the time they are seen wearing heavy tunics and furs with a sky-blue fur accented cape and are also adorned with light leather armour in places. Noticeably, the bracers on her arms seem to be crafted from wood with green adornments, and shimmer in an unnatural light. In warmer weather Cyaro keeps her skin covered in lighter materials and can be seen carrying a parasol to shade themselves. 
As of Sx37 Cyaro's left hand and arm became afflicted with a dark crystal freckled with star-like pinpricks. It emulated the bones of their hand and spread out into an almost armoured bracer over their wrist and forearm. After Leoven used Divine Sense, it was discovered part of a neutral celestial being resides in it, who later revealed themselves as Xunthas. Following these events, the only original items of clothing Cyaro will wear are her bracers and blue cloak which were not covered in dirt. 
Following their visit to the Chthonic temple and Mansion of Night, Cyaro reunited with a part of themselves they left behind in their previous attempt to visit. They are described to look more 'whole' and the underside of their hair shimmers with starlight. She has also been left with deep, dark scarring over her heart where she twice drove a knife into it. 
After the fight with Hyperion, burn-like scars decorate the right side of their shoulder and the lower part of their face after perishing to Meteor Swarm. Part of their right ear is also torn and scarred from the same incident. In addition to this, the coven markings upon her face have started to fade as a result of the conversation with her adoptive mother, the Coven Mother, and her informal banishment. Cyaro now wears their hair to somewhat hide this fact, likely out of shame. 
===Personality===
At first impression, Cyaro has an icy exterior and appears quite unemotional. They are polite but are very used to being in solitude and takes a while to open up and warm up to people. However, once her icy exterior is broken through she is steadfast and loyal, and will go to the ends of the earth to protect those they hold dear. This sometimes makes them quite impulsive and she has issues with authority figures.  
Because of their upbringing, they also struggle with feelings of inadequacy and rarely put themselves forward into the limelight if they can help it. They have unfortunately adopted a very black and white way of thinking but are working to see in more greys.
==Biography==
=== Childhood ===
Cyaro's childhood was quite comfortable by most standards. As the child of the Coven Mother, they began to be groomed for the role they will one day inherit, albeit very loosely - she was still a child after all. Her status as the heir to the Coven, and her unusual appearance somewhat set her apart from her peers, especially as they all grew older leading to her having quite an isolated childhood. As the Coven travelled across the continent, they spent a lot of their time with their father studying the different nocturnal creatures. Additionally, the coven predominantly changed appearance gradually to suit the seasons, however Cyaro's appearance seemed to be remaining winter year round and further isolating her from the rest of the Coven. 
During the migration from the winter mountains to spring, the Coven had one of their periods of sedentism and settled near the city of Dexicos. Young, impressionable, and lacking in any friendly connection with the other Eladrin children, Cyaro just seemed to easily slip away under the cover of night to go explore the new area. She was a curious child and the weight of her future responsibilities from her mother were starting to make itself known, much to her dislike.  And so, each night she snuck into the outer villages surrounding the city to go observe the people there, much like they did with their father when studying nocturnal fauna.
==== Crafting of the Bow ====
Upon Cyaro's 65th birthday, they were called up to partake in the Ceremony of the Bow in which they would be presented with the bow used by her mother - the Coven Bow. As her heir, this ceremony would show the continuing strength and prosperous future the coven would have under Cyaro's guidance whenever that time would occur.  Dressed in the ceremonial regalia of their coven, Cyaro began to actually feel like they were beginning to belong. Despite her differences from the rest of the Eladrin, as she prepared and the ceremony began the coven showed her only respect and kindness as they looked toward their future leader. This moment lasted only briefly. As Syliansan handed the Coven Bow to her adopted child, shadows enveloped their outstretched hand and the weapon and symbol fell straight through it; its clatter to the floor echoing in the dead silence within the grove. Murmurs started to rise from the coven and Syliansan ust stared at her heir in horror and a little bit of disgust. Suddenly feeling very small, Cyaro took in the shocked faces of the Eladrin and the fury upon her mother's and bolted from the area.  
Following the discarded ceremonial garb, Summildeth eventually happened upon his child deep in the forest in a circle of blackened, frozen grass. Their ceremonial markings were smudged by long-since-shed tears and they just sat crossed legged, stroking a crow perched upon their knee. When their father approached them, they did not speak but their question was written all over their face; 'why?'.  "I do not know." her father replied. "But this is not your fault. You couldn't have known, no one could have known this would happen." Yet Cyaro protested. After all, they were their mother's heir. The bow was meant to pass to them, it had to pass to them for the coven to survive. No one would have faith in her now, and especially when the time came for her to assume leadership. All Summildeth could do was ask her not to think of that at this moment, and just rest. As they sat together, under the tree, he realised that the tree species was a yew and a plan began to formulate in his mind. That night, he woke Cyaro from their sleep, and took them back to that very tree. There, he guided them through crafting their own bow from the old yew tree under the light of the moon. And thus, her own bow was carved in-keeping with at least some tradition.  
=== Teenage ===
==== Meeting Thaem ====
Cyaro's responsibilities continued to grow and as they did so did the fractures in their relationship with their mother as she pressed her more and more. She began to sneak away during the day too, just to escape the constant expectations. They didn't try and hide it either - somewhat in the 'rebellious' phase of their teen years, Cyaro deep down wanted to be caught so it would give Syliansan something to talk to her about other than grooming her for Head of the Coven. And this worked, but all it did was drive tension between the two of them.
The Eladrin nomads had entered another period of sendentism as a prophecy from Persephone reached the clan scryers telling of storms over the winter mountain range for the next few years. The Coven decided to settle in woodland beside the city of Delphi instead, experiencing the changing of the seasons along with the trees. This meant once again, the nomads were close to the cities of ordinary beings. Eager to avoid their mother and curious to explore, Cyaro ventured into the city, observing how the city way of life seemed to function from the shadows. Fearing the reparations of being caught and brought before the Coven in shame, Cyaro interacted as little as they could and swore sometimes in risky situations that shadows the colours of the night sky seemed to obscure her almost. Most of the time this was successful - aside from when she fell over someone hiding in an alleyway. After jumping up and dusting herself off, Cyaro made to scamper out of there but instead the stranger grabbed her hand and told her to run. The two of them ran through the streets of Delphi until tumbling into a river, dragging themselves out, sopping wet, but laughing. The stranger introduced himself as Thaem who was trying to become a bard/artificer adventurer in his spare time when not working as a dishwasher in a local tavern, and the two formed a fast friendship. Over the years, their relationship deepened into something a bit more and Cyaro would be away from the Coven's settlement for days at a time much to Syliansan's chagrin and Summildeth's worry). The two of them spent their days causing mischief, playing music and exchanging stories, or just exploring the city as much as they could. Cyaro was happier here, out of the watchful eye of their mother and weight of their responsibilities, and was able to spend time with someone they hadn't known for most of her life. Thaem mentioned more and more the idea of the two of them taking off and exploring the continent, visiting the cities he had only ever heard of and those Cyaro had always seen from a distance. And the more time they were together, the more Cyaro found herself agreeing with him. 
Unfortunately soon after, the storms over the mountains finally cleared and the Eladrin winter pass once again became clear. Cyaro began to make from the Coven settlement to go run to Thaem, intent on leaving the Coven behind. However, their route was blocked by the Coven Mother. She sat Cyaro down, and instead of being angry with her, she just expressed her utter disappointment in her and her actions. Cyaro sat and listened as their mother berated them for abandoning their duties to their people and fraternising with those who will only bring danger - is that how the heir of the Coven is supposed to act? What if the members found out? Do you really expect them to follow you if they knew of this betrayal? Thaem next found them, in one of their favourite spots outside the city, their demeanour had returned to an icy exterior as they told their love that they were leaving with the rest of the Coven and would likely never see them again. Thaem quite obviously did not take well to the news, begging her to stay. And yet Cyaro refused, insisting they had to leave as it was their duty. After much back and forth, their partner finally lost their patience, saying if they were truly set on abandoning them they would have to duel them for that right - it was only fair. Cyaro agreed, pouring her anger about her mother into her fighting and Thaem began to get scared. It got to a point where his life came into danger as Cyaro would not relent and he dropped his weapon attempting to run. Dark tendrils shot out from his partner's arrow, wrapping around his wrists and ankles and pinning him to the floor as Cyaro appeared over. Upon seeing his absolutely terrified expression, however, she was brought back to her senses, the shadows retreating as she herself collapsed to the floor crying. Thaem picked himself up and slowly approached them to hesitantly offer comfort but was stopped as Cyaro whirled round to face him, eyes pitch black, yelling at him to leave. And so he did, without a single look back. 
==== A Clue to Their Heritage ====
As Cyaro grew older, as did their responsibilities as the heir to the coven - especially after the fiasco with the bow which has not been forgotten after all those years. Syliansan pushed them harder and harder to mend their damaged reputation and the splendour Cyaro used to associate with their future position was beginning to fade ever so slightly.   They began to escape a lot more under the cover of the night, usually tracking the nocturnal animal her father was hyper focused on at the time. Their natural affinity with darkness and shadows masked them and so she was never caught by coven members keeping watch.
One night, the object of her father's attention was a moon frog - a frog that only surfaces above ground under a brand new moon in the season of Eiar (spring). After tracking it well out of the nomadic camp, Cyaro happened upon a small ruined open temple. The dark marble pillars and walls were adorned with carvings of crescent moons and constellations they did not recognise. Momentarily stunned by the beauty of the place, they pressed on through, determined not to lose sight of the frog. It hopped directly onto the cracked altar in the centre of the ruins and Cyaro made to grab it, the large shadows almost bending around her. Upon contact with the altar, however, Cyaro's vision went completely black. Confused, they began to yell out, their voice echoing in an expanse of darkness. They are met with silence. Screaming their lungs out they broke down, refusing to cry but called out for their father and they curled into themselves. Then suddenly, a voice spoke crisp and clear into her mind. it's tone was thunderous, crushing, and felt like it was squeezing her head, speaking "who dare enter this- oh..... oh". The voice changed as some realisation seemed to dawn on it and the oppressive blackness of the expanse surrounding Cyaro seemed to warm. "My dear I'm... I'm so sorry, I didn't realise I... Let's just... Let's just get you home." Cyaro awoke in their bed back at the nomadic camp, tears drying on their face and a crystalline moon frog clutched in their hand - an indicator that the entire sequence had not been a dream. Cyaro knew this for sure. Another thing they knew is that the presence they encountered last night felt uncomfortably similar to when they sneak around in the dark.
==== Might of the Coven ====
After traveling to the mountain pass and celebrating the Khelmon Solstice, Cyaro asked Syliansan if they could have some time to themselves. Taking pity on them she agreed, telling her to meet the Coven in late Eiar in the forests near Kalliae. Cyaro retreated to the mountains, feeling most comfortable in the snowy weather, and took the time to heal and reflect on the past few years of her life, and also figure out her position in the Coven. By the time came to start traveling to the forests of Kalliae, they found themselves more resolved and inclined to take their position as heir and eventual Coven leader and so set off with determination.
What they were met with, however, they could not have ever predicted. The Coven they returned to was one preparing for war. After soughting out her mother and father Cyaro was told that the city of Kalliae had declared an attack on their people for trespassing in a forest they had been visiting for centuries: the forest that held their Eiar tree and sacred place where they spent the Eiar solstice. And so the Coven were preparing to defend their own. The battle between the Coven and the Kalliaen troops lasted a few weeks. Cyaro witnessed their parents become worn from the near constant fighting, and the already low numbers of the Coven started to dwindle. And so Cyaro pushed for a final stand, to send a message to the forces trying to eradicate their Coven's sacred space. Surprisingly, the members of the Coven listened and rallied to back her despite this action going against Syliansan's plan. Cyaro's strategy seemed to work at first, with them and the Coven making significant progress to Kalliaen command. But unfortunately Kalliae would not be so easily trifled with. Another wave of forces appeared, pressing the small number of Coven fighters to their limit. Cyaro was quite literally fighting for her life, and even with a shadowy aura enveloping her mitigating some damage hitting her from the elements, she began to struggle. Discovering her foolish and dangerous play, Cyaro's mother and father finally joined the fray and the tide ever so slowly started to turn - but only for a moment. Exhausted, Cyaro was knocked clean out by a stray stone but just before they went down, their eyes flashed with thousands of stars. They spent the rest of the battle unconscious behind a boulder.
When they came to, parts of the forest were on fire. The ground was littered with bodies of both the enemy and the Coven, and Cyaro began to wander aimlessly looking for signs of life. It was during this she happened upon the bodies of her parents. Syliansan looked relatively unharmed, but Summildeth in front of her was barely recognisable, armour, clothes, and face torn, burnt, and bloodied. Cyaro collapsed next to them both with a loud cry. Syliansan, still alive, turned to face their child begging them to listen to her as she knew she didn't have much time left. She began muttering quietly so much so Cyaro had to lean in to hear her, choking back her tears. And it was here Syliansan revealed to them the circumstances of their birth and how they could not pass without at least telling her. She did not know who Cyaro's real mother was, even though she did not ask, and with one final apology the life left Syliansan's eyes. Cyaro cradled her parents close. They began to beg the seasons, the Gods, *anyone* to help save them, offering their life, their very being in return. As the sun began to set and dusk turned to twilight, stars seemed to almost pick themselves out of the night sky and form into a figure next to Cyaro's shaking body. It rested its hand of night on her shoulder and spoke clear in her mind. "No more tears my child. I can save one, though not the one I care for most. All I ask is you find me. Find me and help me." The spirit dissipated into Cyaro's chest and the frog charm pulsed ever so slightly. Cyaro barely noticed this, however, as Syliansan gave a weak cough, and began to draw a breath shakily. The two of them stared as a thread of stars began to slither over her body, closing her wounds and healing her.
With what remained of the Coven, a traditional Eladrin funeral was held for Summildeth. Cyaro stood at her mother's side, dressed in all the proper regalia and behaving the pristine image of the Coven heir. And then, after the merryments ended in the early hours of the next morning, they stole away, leaving their mother a small note as they wandered East following a small pulsating light from the crystalline moon frog.
=== Current Adulthood ===
==== Kidnyxing ====
With the knowledge that their birth mother was likely out there, and had asked for their help, Cyaro travelled from city to city to see where their crystal frog glowed brightest. This was few and far between, however, and so she had to take on hunting jobs to keep herself fed and on the road. Apart from a small altercation in Athens where Cyaro didn't understand that counterfeiting was in fact a criminal offense, she remained off the radar as she tried to follow the very few clues they had managed to get their hands on. Or so they thought.
One night during investigating a small temple dedicated to Hades, Cyaro allowed herself to become so engrossed in their research they didn't notice that they had become surrounded by a small group of cloaked individuals. She only realised something was wrong as a dizzying sleepy feeling came over her, and she collapsed to the ground. Cyaro came to in a small cell, the bars composed of strong woven vines. One of the cloaked figures stood guard outside and her weapons and items sat in a basket some way off. Panicking, Cyaro quickly checked her person for her frog and luckily it remained in the lining of her tunic and she breathed a sigh of relief. Turning their back to the guard, they withdrew it from its hiding place and found it to be pulsating quite rapidly. Confused about what it might mean, Cyaro turned back to the guard to try and retrieve some information on where she was being held. Unfortunately, all they could gather from a seemingly very nervous guard is that they had been arrested for unsanctioned research and taken to one of their bases in the Underdark. The only other piece of information they could get out of the guard, which she said mostly by accident, was the group that captured them went by the name 'Myth Enders'.
As the days went by, a member came by each morning with food and stayed in the cell to question Cyaro. He asked them various questions on the Gods they worshiped, who they were traveling with, what they were doing around the temple but Cyaro remained quiet. Because in the time she was alone she meditated with the frog crystal, and a feeling from both it and inside her urged her not to reveal anything about herself. And so they remained quiet. As their captors grew increasingly frustrated with their silence, they began to throw about the idea of just getting rid of them if they couldn't prove useful. Cyaro overheard this and began to panic. In between meditation and guard visits, they scoured the cell for any signs of an exit. All they could find, however, was the faded mark of a delta symbol in the corner of one of the walls and a feeling deep within her told her to stay well away. And so she doubled her efforts talking to her frog, asking and begging it for some sort of help. 'How am I supposed to find my mother if I can't get out of here?? I need to deliver on my promise to help her...' Yet the frog just continued to pulse. After a few weeks, Cyaro's meditation was disturbed my footsteps thundering above them and down toward their cell. The guard outside was also missing and they knew what this meant. The Myth Enders had reached their limit and were coming to dispose of her. Panicking, a strange but familiar presence started to build up inside of her, threatening to spill out of her like an overflowing cup. As soon as the door opposite their cell opened, Cyaro's world was swallowed by shadows. There was a brief moment of clarity where they seemed to be standing next to their belongings and they reached out to grab them before once again being completely swallowed by starry blackness.
Cyaro awoke in the middle of a wheat field, curled in on herself and her possessions in a neat pile beside her. The autumn sun beat down on her and she stumbled to a nearby village, weak, hungry, but alive. After staying to gather their strength, they moved on preparing to travel once again, checking their small frog crystal. Yet something about it was different. This time when it pulsed (only every so often now) it had the same feeling they had felt in the Underdark as they made their miraculous escape. Focusing on it, the same feeling began inside of her and her vision when dark. When it returned, she felt extremely weak but that wasn't the strangest thing. Cyaro was also somehow on the other side of the room they had taken temporary residence in.
==== Internship With a Tortle ====
Over the time of their travels, Cyaro began to practice this strange ability they discovered until they had some semblance of control over it. Following the frog's guidance, she turned further east, traveling over the mountain range to Artemis Cove. Walking through the city, the pulsing light of her crystal increased in frequency until it became a bright dazzle as she stood in front of a quaint bookshop. Upon entering, they met an aged tortle by the name of Petros, surrounded by far too many books that surely couldn't fit inside such a tiny shop. And yet the shop kept on going and going. Curiously, Cyaro's crystal had stopped its bright light and seemed strangely dormant. Unsure what it meant, they approached the bookshop owner almost sheepishly, offering their services in return for board and being able to stay and do some research in the store for a time.
==Relationships==
===Adrasteia===
Cyaro has a tumultuous relationship with Adrasteia. In the beginning, whether they got along or not seemed to be at the mercy of Adrasteia's mood at the time. However, after it was revealed what the cursed ring does to her, Cyaro has little faith in her sensibility. Whilst she does view her as foolish for keeping the ring to her self for so long (especially as it turns her into a monstrosity), Cyaro can clearly see Adrasteia is regretful of her actions and so takes some pity on her. The relationship has slowly been improving, with Cyaro trusting her enough to willing give over their own blood to feed Adrasteia's almond blood blossom. 
After Sx37, the two have become tied together through Cyaro being instructed by Gaia to protect her granddaughter - who turned out to be Adrasteia herself. Despite Adrasteia since being disowned from that line of heritage after her events in Hecate's Ravine, Cyaro still feels a lingering sense of protection over her - although it is sometimes unclear if it is just Adrasteia they fear for, or for the memory Xunthas... What they have noticed is Adrasteia taking on the worries of the group by herself and has offered to help her; as with everyone relying on her, Adrasteia has no one to share her problems with in return. 
===Khantos===
Khantos seems the most trustworthy to Cyaro. His brilliant and clever mind and wit fascinates them and their ideals seem to align most closely with his. Cyaro values his companionship and his readiness to lend a helping hand, and feels slightly indebted to him after he was the one to discover and reveal to Cyaro her true heritage as a child of Nyx. Aside from Oto he is the only other member of the party to take an interest in her personal well-being, providing support on multiple occasions with external issues or issues from the party themselves. 
The two have shared common lines of thinking throughout their time in Dexicos, with both entertaining ideas of leaving the city before it fell to war as well as disillusion with the gods. When Khantos told of his involvement with the sinister group known as The Twelve, Cyaro was one of the few members to offer understanding for the actions he was forced to take, and held no ill-will against him for his supposed 'betrayal'. Following the two both perishing and returning in the battle against Hyperion, Cyaro holds some sadness for him after learning his soul is condemned to Tartarus and wants to help the person have they have grown close to but is unsure how. The admission from Khantos that it a result of 'bad things' he has done did not seem to phase them in their concern either. After asking how to deal with dying and coming back, she is now, more than ever, committed to helping him and repaying the debt she owes him despite his many protests.
===Leoven===
Cyaro respects Leoven as a leader, reluctant to make any big decisions for the party without weighing in with her beforehand. The respect is also founded after Leoven put her life and possibly soul on the line in order to keep the party safe in a particularly difficult battle. However, the trust Cyaro once held with her has been severed after she forced a Zone of Truth spell upon her after being reluctant to speak of the events of Sx37. The further use of the Command spell during this interrogation has warped Cyaro's opinion of Leoven's character and they remain slightly wary around her. On Leoven's part, a heartfelt apology was given in the form of a letter but Cyaro feels slightly cheated that it wasn't offered in person.
They have recognised that Leoven is making a conscious effort to repair their relationship, and still finds a bit of kinship within Leoven. Her appearance reminds them of the members of the Coven during the season of Theros and is comforting sight especially within large bustling cities which Cyaro is still adjusting to. With the events of Dexicos, however, the relations between the two have once again taken on a sour twist. The repeated involvement of soldiers and war that inevitably came with the party's actions brought up well-buried (or perhaps ignored) trauma from Cyaro's past, and they are struggling to find the kind and protective elf they got to know in Artemis Cove within this venerated Taxiarhos, the Champion of Apollo.
=== Ghost ===
Cyaro's relations to Ghost are complicated - and that's not because they are technically related on their godly side. Initially they took to him with curiosity and excitement. He was a new person with vast knowledge of magic and the arcane arts, and so overtime Cyaro began to watch and enquire into his practices; both his own and that of his god's. It was Ghost who encouraged them to think of the world in more grey hues rather than black and white, which aided her in pursuits into their own innate magic. And it was Ghost who was the first to ask about her magic, prompting her to think about it properly for the first real time and come to accept being the child of Nyx a little more willingly.
This bond was then shattered after Ghost stole vials of their blood whilst they were unconscious after killing themselves in a Chthonic temple. After hearing his apology and reasoning Cyaro understands his actions - they are somewhat grateful he decided against willingly giving their blood over to Akhlys. But unfortunately the timing did not work in his favour. In their conversations of magic, Cyaro compared him to Oto in his approachability and thoughtfullness. Then after this and with Cyaro freshly awoken from discovering Akhlys had take over her mother's Mansion of the Night and held Xunthas trapped in the throne, Ghost confessed to nearly handing over her very essence to the enemy. This was further exacerbated by the Weapon of Anteus stealing their blood regardless. This caused Cyaro to feel very taken advantage of and betrayed once again by someone she was trying to grow close to, letting her boundaries down a little too low. 
Cyaro noted that in his apology Ghost, despite his many years, appears still very childish and has a lot to learn. He will earn his forgiveness once he puts all his effort into defeating whatever Akhlys sends after the party using their blood.
===Oto===
Despite the rocky start, Cyaro had grown to treasure Oto quite dearly as they offered a bit of fun within the group. A mutual love for books and knowledge as well as their shared connections to Petros had formed a fast and firm friendship, especially after he helped them reconnect with Petros after they lost their memories of him. They quickly overcame their apprehension of him when it was revealed he had a 'murder mode' and the two often spoke of returning to Artemis Cove to help Petros with his bookstore when everything was over. Their bond was shaken after Oto joined Leoven in her interrogation of Cyaro, forcibly using Detect Thoughts to find more about her personal life and past rather than letting Cyaro reveal these in due time. An effort was made on both parts to fix the tear, however.
The day of Oto's death, they told her of their life and time with the party - essentially making sure Cyaro got to know him as much as possible before he passed. Not realising it until he was gone, Cyaro had grown to view him as a sibling and was heartbroken at his passing, seeking comfort in Petros.
===Petros===
Upon their arrival in Artemis Cove, Cyaro happened upon Petros' humble bookshop. There, he offered her board and free range of his books in return for help around the store and she gladly obliged. Over the months they grew to view Petros as the father figure that had been absent since the death of their biological one. Whenever Cyaro is particularly troubled, he is always there on the end of an iris message and they are forever thankful. 
=== Xunthas ===
As a star once trapped in their arm by a being as old as the world itself, Cyaro and Xunthas have a very strange relationship. After they revealed they were being held against their will, Cyaro immediately tried to remedy the situation but unfortunately could not free them. Instead, after a few misunderstandings, she took it upon herself to teach the being how to exist on the mortal plain whilst still protecting Adrasteia. Whilst Xunthas may not comment on the matter, Cyaro considers the two of them friends after they expanded their knowledge of the working of the stars, granting them new abilities. Though Xunthas may not understand what friendship means, Cyaro will do everything they can to rescue them from their entrapment by Akhlys and finally return them to their constellation of Ara.

== Trivia ==
* Cyaro Melithaear roughly translates to "Onyx Summer" and "Mother of the Way" respectively in the language of the Eladrin Nomads.
** Their surname is inherited from their mother, the Coven's leader.
** Cyaro has yet to choose an adult name for themselves, despite being over 100 years old.
* Cyaro and the Coven speak an older form of elvish that is no longer recognisable to modern elvish speakers. This caused somewhat of a language barrier between her and Leoven in their initial meeting.
* In Sx44 Cyaro described themselves as "the worst one [Eladrin] [he] could have met" to Khantos. As far as the party have observed, Cyaro does not hold the ability to change seasons. They are also missing the benefits of 'Fey Ancestry' and the ability to access proficiencies from shared Eladrin memory. This is due to their demigod heritage.
*Like Neleous, Cyaro is inspired by the player's old Percy Jackson OC - a child of Nyx.
