Cynthia Silvers

== Appearance ==
Cynthia was born Scarlett Silverspinner, and resembled far more of a high elf in her younger years, appearing far more lithe and beautiful. Golden slate skin, a rich full head of goldenrod hair, overly emotive long ears, and deep blue eyes that resembled the deep waters of the Sorrows. As she got older, she exhibited less elven traits, but still healthy genetic promise, her bust size, hip size, and overall figure grew to be quite a curvaceous specimen by the time she was in her late teens. She filled out her frame and still kept the practiced poise and look of a half drow half hrow, with strong athletic features being smoothed out and curved by the figurine appearance of a high elf.
She looked as though she was destined for the perfect motherly role, wide birthing hips, a heavy chest for an elf, and such beautiful features with a naive and sweet attitude to match.
After a certain incident, and during recovery, Scarlett would lose most of what made her seem high elvish except for her ears. Her once enchanting blue spheres had become almost grey in their shade of silver, her goldenrod hair turned a stark drow white, Her skin lost its luster and became a pale shade of what it once was, and she even lost some functionality in the movement of her ears as a point of expression. Her proportions remained, but during this time she would lose much of the fat in her curves and would almost deflate.
When she became Cynthia Silvers her appearance reshaped yet again, she grew more muscular, and regained the curves and fat, but also they became superseded by her building out her frame with more packed in musculature. Her eyes were now glimmering green jewels, her hair had mellowed into a softer white gray coloration, and she resembled closer to an Obscuran than to any normal elf, even the luster of her skin had come back to some degree giving off faint golden coloration in the depths of a much deeper slate shade than before. This would be forever altered in a betrayal that would legitimately scar Cynthia for her entire life.
In the aftermath of the event, Cynthia had once more lost the luster underneath her flesh, this time for good, one half of her body was covered in burns and disfigurement. One breast developed heavy scar tissue, but managed to retain the most of its shape, Cynthia's right side has regrown limbs and heavy scarring that reaches close to the middle of her body laterally. The only areas free of damage are her privates and her face-except for around her right eye socket. Cynthia wears a green colored prosthetic eye and scarring can still be seen around the area where it had to be reconstructed.
The entirety of Cynthia's right arm was replaced, and holds a much, much paler shade of light grey as compared to her slate pigment for her undamaged half. She lost two thirds of her leg, with the remainder suffering heavy burns as did her right buttock, the replacement limb looks much the same as the arm, giving an uncanny appearance when fully nude. Cynthia has multiple scars not related to the incident: bullets, stabbings, a line across her stomach indicating surgery on her abdomen, and other miscellaneous marks that have forever reshaped her appearance. Beyond this, with her abuse of nerve tonic, she developed much larger musculature than before, but it remains covered in deep curves and an almost slendered affect to some degree which, when she is fully clothed, may come off somewhat as a muted motherly and buxom frame if she hides it correctly. It also increased her breast size to a degree making her far and away the most ell endowed full elf in Dul-Sansiska.
==Biography==
Cynthia was born as Scarlett Silverspinner in New Bastion City, as a healthy baby girl to Esmeralda Silverspinner and Saki Dul-Sansiska, both of whom were sixteen and fourteen at the time. Esmeralda did not wish to keep her own child, finding that a simple fling with a boy had turned into this entire mess somehow despite her never feeling she wanted children at this point. To make matters worse, Saki was the son of the head of a noble house, she was just a merchant girl he'd met, and she was getting pressure from her family to leverage the baby's birth to get standing with House Dul-Sansiska. Ultimately, Maria Dul-Sansiska personally paid Esmeralda a hefty bounty for the baby girl and facilitated her family becoming attached to Adsiks up north, satisfying the pressure on the newfound mother. Thus from the moment of her birth Scarlett was unwanted by at least one family she hadn't even yet known, but another one would take her in gladly.
Saki was not expected to be there for his child, he had not been there for the birth, wasn't even aware he had gotten a girl pregnant. He was off having adventures and being a dumb little boy who had just been 'fooling around' in a port town with some older girl who fancied his golden sheen. Instead, Scarlett was raised by Maria and Garin, taking responsibility for their boy's actions, Garin especially took a liking to Scarlett as she reminded him of when he took in Saki when he had been unwanted and a 'mistake'. She would live her life as any noble child would under the protection of one of the richest families in the world, she was given all that was needed, though it still was not the best time to grow up in such a position.

==== 1035-1046 ====
===== Scarlett's Romantics =====
Scarlett was set to marry Andrew Maun in 1035, after becoming pregnant at seventeen, as Scarlett had been an objective for Andrew and he had managed to get into her sheets within a year of their meeting when she had been sixteen and himself twenty. Upon their first acts in the bedroom, Scarlett, being a gullible and naive noble girl was smitten with Andrew and defended his namesake even as she got push back from the drowlords and her family members. Some of the critique was genuine and concerned, that he was grooming her and manipulating her, and the rest was classism bullshit that one of Scarlett's birthright should be taken by a backwoods swamp lordling. However, when it came down to it, for the sake of the happiness of her baby, Maria enforced a silence on the matter but began to look into everything. 
The pregnancy's announcement and the quick momentum of the Maun family happily pursuing an engagement right afterwards threw up some notable flags that had members of the drowlords concerned something was up. Yet, they still held their tongues as Maria demanded while she looked further into the matter. Garin Dul-Sansiska was none too happy with the arrangement, but seeing his baby girl so excited and alight with glee made him hesitant to rain on her parade and he simply held his objections in silence as he looked into Andrew Maun himself. The stir of a human dark elf wedding was starting to get more of the racial crowd moving as well, it was getting the entire ecosystem of the drowlords and the minor nobility up in a slow humming beehive of networked rumors and schemes. On the side of the mainstream nobility, it was a comedy, with many joking that the drow were starting to get desperate for people to fuck so they were now grabbing for bumpkins. 
What was unknown, even to the investigative strength of Maria's connections and Garin's attempts to pierce the veil, was how much of a chauvinist asshole Andrew actually was and the depths of his depraved mind in attempting to carry out this scheme. He'd been gunning for high profile young nobility for years, since he was at least sixteen, laying the charm on thick to try and secure himself a spot in the upper echelons. While this was not the worse, as it was a viable tactic for one to marry into higher status, the disgustingly manipulative way he played with young girls hearts was disturbing. Secondly, and much more severe, was the fact that he had been engaged in not only an incestuous relationship with his cousin Nora, but that their affairs had begun when he was sixteen and she was twelve, with Andrew plying his manipulations and tactics on her as a test subject and savoring the fruits of his younger cousin the entire time of it. 
Andrew not only was a horrid mongrel for his ideals of a woman's place to be entirely beneath him, no matter their status of prestige, but he was a depraved and twisted pervert who lusted for young girls to twist about his finger. It was all hidden behind sociopathic levels of masking and the willful cover-up by a family of lesser aristocrats who were banking on the idea that Andrew would ensure they were to become one of the most powerful families on Terros, and so utterly rich. The fact they were so beneath the usual political chess games of the superior upper classes made it easier to hide the true nature of it all. 
As the months drew on, and the wedding got closer and closer to fruition, Scarlett became plump with a growing new life in her and the ridicule and side eyes began to die off, soon enough it was normalcy and the Mauns were enjoying their spotlight. They were coming to the Azure often, being levied unwarranted respect, and though not especially well liked in the broadest senses, they were tolerated for the customs and the sanctity of an engagement. The Queen herself had married far below her pedigree and broken the status quo, Scarlett was simply following in her Majesty's footsteps, as the future heiress of all that was under the thumb of the former banking house, she was the next best thing to royalty in terms of the potential of power. Thus, her friends and peers went along with it and some even felt envious that Scarlett had seemed to bag such a charmer. 
===== The Maun Incident =====
This peaceful integration wouldn't last, as a month before the wedding, a party was held in the Dul-Sansiska's Tropical Villa, the entire slate of the drow nobility was there, as were many of the rest of the upper crust and some of the well to do common folk and merchants aligned with Dul-Sansiska. King Drake even sent regards from himself and Serenity and a notice that they'd attempt to make it into the wedding as time aligned. Saki had ended a trip early just to come and give support to the girl who was his daughter and make attempts at being something close to parental figure. Scarlett was over the moon and giddy, playing socialite and having a ball, the Maun were being integrated bit by bit and holding their own among the scrutiny of the more refined nobility. It was running so smoothly, but Andrew has disappeared along with Nora, Scarlett's own handmaiden, and a young merchant daughter. 
Scarlett went off to find her fiance, the sight she saw resulted in a scream so sharp and so piercing to shattered the calm din of the festivities within the rest of the Villa immediately. Her handmaiden was splayed out already dripping from the aftermath of a rousing game of peg pushing, and Andrew was bent over a squealing Nora while he had his grubby mitts on the merchant daughter's crotch. Not only was it a blatantly adulterous spectacle in Scarlett's own bedroom in her family Villa, but it was preposterously demented for the age of the merchant daughter was only thirteen herself. Scarlett ran from the sight screaming, crying, and swearing up a storm of profanities and egregious disgust to include loudly proclaiming him a cradle robber that bounced among the spacious walls and open aired areas of the villa. She was followed very quickly by Rivka Ludlow, Fang Kyn, and Amarika Holmes- the former two wanting to figure out what had happened, and the latter being upset that her sister was upset and going to console her, oblivious to the circumstances of the ordeal. 
Maria and several others instead went to check on the scene Scarlett had just ran from, while House Maun tried to intervene and give Andrew time to make himself presentable, however Maria was on the warpath the moment they attempted and she pushed past ferociously with all the strength of an enraged mother. Soon there was chaos, as Maria saw Andrew only just recovering enough to have strapped on some pants all while the spectacle was still fresh and on display. Lord Argus was arguing with Maria, Garin had to be restrained by the Lords Canis and Holdenhome lest he murder Andrew and his parentage right then and there, Lady Luna Maun was trying to quietly shuffled the cousins out from the scene but it was fruitless, everyone was shouting and chaos erupting, party goers were becoming very acutely aware that their suspicions were, fi nothing else, under presenting the depravity of the marshers. 
Scarlett had collapsed in the courtyard bawling and inconsolably wretching from the sights, her rage, and her utterly broken standpoint to be fooled and taken in by such a disgusting man. 'Auntie' Rivka soon joined her as did 'Unkie' Fang and held her still while she cried and gibbered out nonsense, with Amarika quickly hugging her big sister around the plump belly to make her feel better as if she had a tummyache, still unsure of what the whole thing was about but knowing she had to be there for her big sister. Saki, unable to control himself, spotted Andrew attempting to slink away and tackled the boy to the ground, and began to lay his fists hard into the younger man's face for what he did to his daughter. It was both parts the sparks of fatherly compassion, and the rage he felt that such a sick fucker would play with the heart of his family. Saki had to be pulled off of Andrew by the combined forces of Griff and Reynis holding the enraged father back and Claire telling Saki to stop and to not kill Andrew. 
Garin however was cheering Saki on and telling him to keep at it as he still tried to wrestle his way free of now being in a chokehold by Canis, who feared Garin would murder the entire damned lot of the marshers by this point of the incident. Soon the party filed out, naturally all wedding plans were called off then and there, and now the talking would begin. As Scarlett sat in the courtyard bawling like the child she absolutely was, surrounded by the people who cared so deeply for her, her peerage was beginning to gossip and delight int he insanity of the day and that their inklings had been right, if undervaluing the severity, and that Scarlett was simply too dumb to see it. 
Scarlett would sink into something of depressive malaise in the coming weeks, not quite broken, but unable to feel real amounts of joy and her only consolation was her baby, the fact her Pappy and her Father were there spending ample amounts of time, and that little Amy was allowed an extended stay in the Azure to 'look after' Scarlett. The gossip never stopped, it became enflamed, began to spread, and it got worse and nastier the most it passed around, the jubilant socialite was now crushed by her misfortunes and such weights were compounded by the cruelty of the upper class peers using it as a nice distraction. The only ones who never partook were members of the royalty, either they didn't care, or were simply too nice to engage in the smearing. 
===== Then It Got Worse =====
House Maun, now ruined socially and demoted to incestuous marshland hillbillies in status, below even the standard marsher insult, were enraged that the little harlot simply did not keep her mouth shut and know her place was beneath Andrew. That he was entitled to what he wanted, and that she simply had to understand it and not freak out as she had. They'd been given a kindness, Dul-Sansiska had let them off with a mere excommunication and sealed the doors shut on them for the rest of time to ever reach the heights of power within the Drowlords. This kindness was the most insulting, that some fucking mudskins were going to treat them this way was the height of arrogance, and so a plan was hatched, the marshes held a myriad of deadly items, and if they could distill a strong enough one, it would overwhelm the weak poison resistance of the drow girl and destroy her for what she had done.
What they did not understand at the time was Scarlett's true lineage was half high elven and half dark elven, she had the legendary tolerances of a high elf for poisons and was the progeny of one of the most resilient drow of a generation. Despite this lacking knowledge,t hey overcompensated wanting her to have a horrible and demeaning death in turmoil, and thus they unintentionally made a pseudo-effective mixture that could barrel through even the powers of a high elf's tolerances. It would do something at the very least, and the stage was set, and by some miracle they never got caught and were able to smuggle the mix in, they couldn't expect her to ingest it, so they had to go a different route.
Scarlett was being escorted by a new pair of bodyguard and handmaiden, trying to enjoy some peaceful times and get her mind off of the social turmoil and the strain of her failed betrothal, simply attempting to enjoy a quiet day in Bastion, but she was struck by the horrid winds of fate. Before anyone could do anything, a ruffian threw a noxious powder at Scarlett, who while upon reflex closed her eyes and shielded her face, but she inhaled the cloud, as did several others near them all, and naturally her escorts. The bystanders quickly collapsed, as Scarlett wheezed and coughed tremendously, and her handmaiden died on the spot, the guard tried to attack the ruffian but was so weak he could only stumble and fall dead shortly therein, and soon Bluejackets were swarming the area.
Scarlett was rushed home to be administered treatment on the double, while the Blues caught the attackers and began to cordon off the area, Scarlett would survive, in pain and suffering badly, but she'd live this, the danger was her baby might not and there were genuine fears as the poison moved rapidly and the drow attempted to administer antidotes but were unclear on what the mixture was and thus it was proving ineffective. Scarlett was unconscious, the sheer overwhelming dose she'd been assailed with had done fine work keeping her down. The poison was potent, and it seemed to be spreading fast through the body even as the body tried its best to fight back, it was attacking multiple areas of her body at once, seemingly seeping to saturate her entire body and destroy every last inch of her from the inside to the outside.
As Scarlett fought for her life, the Bluejackets did their work and the thug quickly gave the ghost on who hired him for the attack, before he was spirited off, never to make it to his own trial. House Maun, specifically Argus and Andrew had supposedly been the ones to approach and make the offer, this would be handled by the relevant authorities, and the Dul-Sansiska were warned not to carry out extra-judicial justice. Garin did not abide by this warning, and instead began tracking down one of the conspirators, Andrew Maun, who had stupidly decided to remain in the area in a tavern outside the city, waiting and hoping on hearing the news that Scarlett had succumbed to the poison. He was still far from being caught, but he was unknowingly signing his death warrant for his wish to find out if he plot had worked.
Scarlett's uterus began slough off flesh, as did her stomach, intestines, and her lungs, as she began coughing blood and viscera began to spill out from her two lower cavities as well. Sadly, what also began to come out was the disintegrating remains of her unborn child, having unconsciously saved their mother's life by acting as an obscene sponge for a dirth of the poison. If she lived this, it would be a long and horrible road to recovery, if she'd recover at all at this rate, though by now Ornia Dul-Sansiska had arrived and managed to begin arresting the symptoms and progression of the poison, also ensuring Scarlett's survival as well as the sacrifice of her unborn child.
The news of Scarlett's survival would reach Andrew in the evening of the attack, and he would swear and slam his fist down upon the revelation before decided ot down his mug and pack up to get home. The attempt had been a failure, but there would be more times, so he left the tavern and began to walk towards a waiting coach. As he walked he heard someone call him out by name, and turned to see Garin Dul-Sansiska standing there with a cold, almost animal, wide eyed look on his face. hanging from one hand, in the dusk's waning light, one could see a thin line of winded blonde hair knotted around two wooden handles.
A garrote, the tool assassins used on the nobility when they wanted to kill someone quiet and bloodless, realization sunk in Andrew then and he bolted for the coach, but Garin was faster, far faster and he caught the young man around the neck and pulled it tight. The younger man struggled tried to fight, to break free, to get a hold on the hair and pull, and Garin would wrestle him, loosen the grip, and re-tighten to keep letting the monster gasping for air and elongating his torment as the coach began to leave in front of them. The last thing Andrew saw was his ticket to safety booking it away from him, and the last thing he heard before he was swallowed by encroaching darkness was his own gasping and the struggle to get anything out, the scratching at this own throat for relief, and the sickening tightening sounds of the elven hair that was keeping the precious oxygen from his lungs.
===== The 'Death' of Scarlett Dul-Sansiska =====
Lord Argus Faun, her brother Leo Maun, the mens' collective four sons, and Nora, were all found to be part of the conspiracy to poison Scarlett Dul-Sansiska, and had prepared additional measures in the case she did not die to the poison powder. Justice was swift, and it was painful, Argus and Leo were sentenced to hang until death, a demeaning fate for the noble class who were meant to be treated with dignity and above the peasantry even in death. This was better than what the Drow had in store for them had the monarchy not gotten to them first, as the tales of drow vengeance would churn a weaker man's stomach to hear. Still, a humiliating end for the ringleaders of the conspiracy, and their sons, not including the now missing Andrew Maun who was seen leaving (insert tavern) the night of the attack but who was never found, were sentenced to thirty years of hard labor each for their part taken in the criminal scheme.
Nora Maun was sentenced to twenty five years of hard labor, but during transit, a pirate ship attacked the military vessel and managed to steal the prisoners aboard and strand the soldiers on the ship until they could be rescued a week later. All in all the Maun family was dealt a hefty blow, and in a time of greatest weakness, the now matriarch of the family, Luna Maun, swore that even if it took her entire family dying, she'd avenge her son and her husband and kill Scarlett along with the rest of her family. Scarlett was in recovery, sent to Ques Novich to receive additional treatment by Divankul Dul-Sansiska himself so he could treat the poisoning and possibly reverse some of the effects on Scarlett's body, she was suffering and in pain, her body ravaged and partially still shutting down even after all that had been done to treat the myriad of reactions. Had it not been for the circumstances, she would have surely died.
Divankul worked his wonders, filtering Scarlett's blood and beginning to repair her through his own esoteric treatment plans, he employed the usage of Tears of Aradia, enhanced magical theorems on healing, and his infernal capabilities. Scarlett would have deep running scarring in her body, but it was only in places Divankul could not prioritize to save, her womb was ravaged beyond capability and she was given a hysterectomy to remove the badly damaged organ, it was as if the poison had turned it into little more than grotesque confetti and streamers by the time it was removed. She lost massive amounts of muscle as they seemed to necroses within, and her once beautifully colored blue eyes had turned into an almost polished silver against their bloodshot sclera. Her once light blonde hair had been turned a stark and shimmering white, and her body was ashen and hazy now instead of the almost golden slate coloration she had been born with. 
===== The Birth of Cynthia Silvers =====
With Maun destroyed, utterly, and in totality, Scarlett was free of the wicked specter of their vengeance, but she still faced the humiliations of her peerage, the constant name calling and demeaning attitudes, and a crushing weight of depression and grief. Maria moved to have Scarlett live in Relic-Asgar, far from haughty snide bitches of Bastion to heal and to rest.

==Personality and Traits==
Cynthia has a entrenched loyalty complex, a big heart full of compassion and empathy, and the will to strive for more and to protect those she loves. She's got her problems, her hang ups, and she's even still got some level of body image problems and a need to constantly improve, but she's here and she tries to give everyone around her some level of care and compassion. She's a recovered addict, always fighting to steer herself from going back down the path, and she has her bad days, days when Drakken has to physically stop her from doing something monumentally dumb. 
There's damage, and a lot of emotional scarring from a lifetime of tragedies that have built up over time, nothing she can't handle, but even the toughest walls can develop cracks. She hides her vulnerabilities behind the mask of Cynthia, because Cynthia has the ability to push past it, she's not the weak little girl Scarlett, she's stronger and more fit for the challenges. When she's in a weak point she will seek out Zara and find solace in her friend's reassurances, and when Zara needs her, she is there all the same. Cynthia would give her life for Zara, Drakken, Mags, or Deadbolt in the same way she'd do it for Lydia or Amy; they're her family through and through and she's been helped so much for so many years by so many people, that she's happy to give it all back in spades if it comes down to it.
==Relationships==
===Familial===
Amy Holmes is Cynthia's younger sister, they have a very strong relationship that has stood strong over the years, and Cynthia is in near constant contact with her sister through letter writings and regular trips out to Homefast. Cynthia has a healthy relationship with Amy's husband, and is a sturdy aunt to her children, through they have now all outgrown their super affectionate days with her and she eagerly awaits Branwen for another baby to play with.
Lydia Morvala is Cynthia's other sister, her little baby sister that she gets to see only rarely, but she loves with all of her heart and makes the most any time the two are together. Cynthia advocates heavily on her behalf to ensure Saki is seeing her much more than he ever did her or Amy, and loves Lydia to pieces as her second little nerd sister after Amy.
Cynthia gets along with Saki Dul-Sansiska, she's come to terms that he's a shit parental figure, but is thankful he didn't interfere in her life growing up. Cynthia is aware Saki is not the parental type, and respects that, for her at least. But he has been hard on Saki to be the parent he needs to be for Lydia's sake. She seems him off and on, and generally enjoys social times with him.
Cynthia loves Maria, her Momma, the woman who made her who she is and ensured she had a home to be loved in, she had been groomed to be the successor of all that Dul-Sansiska was, but as life tore into her, those goals changed and Maria instead was there to be a bullwark to hold misfortune at bay while her baby recovered. Cynthia is forever thankful to her Momma, and without her figures she would've killed herself long ago, and she will slip back into Scarlett for Maria's sake so she can have some normalcy out of her baby girl. Maria is fully aware of the Barbed Quills, and gives Cynthia a regular allowance to fund the organization, it's simply her regular allowance that was never stopped really. She's happy to help the gang quietly, never outright, but supporting them with information, safety, and funding through Cynthia. Cynthia thinks it's partly about Pappy's influence, partly that Momma is a sneaky woman who thinks she can use it politically, and partly because she's a good person.
Garin Dul-Sansiska is Cynthia's Pappy. He's a knight, former pirate captain, revolutionary, and all around legendary figure who has been with Cynthia every step of the way in her life. Garin was the one who showed her seafaring, was her combat instructor, he taught her how to be stealthy, opened doors for her, and helped her make her original crew. He is without a doubt her daddy, he inspires her with the life he's led, and the fact he's a hero, despite the form it usually takes being less than heroic. Garin is the picture of the person Cynthia wants to be in a lot of ways, and Maria is the other, trimming their less than good traits off but holding to the idea of being a hero and a steadfast wall against the battering of the world.
====Children====
Deadbolt- Cynthia and Deadbolt are inseparable, Deadbolt was adopted by Cynthia as she previously believed him to be a housecat, and wished to have a pet after The Pirate War. Come to find out he was an abandoned Wild One Kyn, who had been caught, neutered, and dumped in the streets. Cynthia raised Deadbolt, and only after some time did she realize he was a Kyn, she and Deadbolt then had a more mother-son relationship than owner-pet from that day. Cynthia used her connections to help Deadbolt learn magic, and found he was a natural mage even in the age of waning magic. He was also a natural born sleuth, and he was already disguised as a housecat, and thus Cynthia groomed him to be a strong and sneaky mage cat.
In regards to how he treats Cynthia, she is his mother, she fed, cleaned, and raised him and has been there for him all his life. Cynthia, for her part, treats him as her only son and showers him with affection, though warns others not to treat him with disrespect or act as though he is a mere cat. The two are nearly inseparable and work nearly all their missions together, and Deadbolt is a welcomed child to the Dul-Sansiskas who use their servants as intermediaries to speak to him when he's brought over with Cynthia while she's acting as Scarlett at home.
====Siblings, Friends, and Other====
Zara Moon- Zara and Cynthia would meet under the harsh circumstances of The Pirate War in a special operations outfit known as the Maelstorms, under Garin Dul-Sansiska's command, the two would help the other in their own ways, and watch each other's backs as they hunted down Cynthia's old crew and took down the man who killed Zara's father. Zara would be poached after this to a different division, and Cynthia and her would remain in touch throughout the war and beyond. When Zara found she could not make it in normal civilian life, she contacted Cynthia and made her pitch about the Barbed Quills, Cynthia agreed and the two have been together ever since as solid friends.
Magnolia Holdenhome- Mags and Cynthia are close for a myriad of reasons, the biggest two are that she's known Magnolia since the lass was a baby as Scarlett, and that Cynthia is quite sweet on her and makes sure she gets alcohol. 
Drakken Mugflayer- This is a relationship worn on the sleeve, Cynthia has personally made a move on just about every male member of the Quills, outside of Lark for obvious reasons, but Drakken is the only one who didn't flat out reject her or came back for more. Cynthia being a built up female drow, she could be considered intimidating even for the typical male dark elves because of how much additional muscle she has over most of them. Drakken, however, doesn't seem to mind and actually finds the athletic and scarred dark elf to be quite beautiful. The two have a friends with benefits relationship, being professionals first, friends second, and then lovers last. Over time they seem to have drawn in slowly closer and closer to the possibility of being romantic towards each other but nothing definitive to the nature has cropped up. To be sure though, Drakken and Cynthia care deeply for one another beyond the physical aspects, they're as well lifelong friends.
==Skills and Abilities==
Cynthia is a mixed martial artist and wrestler utilizing her entire body in combat situations, relying on unnatural strength and speed, military training, and wind magic affinity through her equipment when engaging enemy combatants. Because of the side effects of nerve tonic doping, Cynthia is freakishly strong, to the point where she is comparable to an orc's power in times of stress, this also means that she's surprisingly fast even for an elf. When augmenting her physical prowess with her magical relic equipment, she is a deadly force, if a bit one note in that she can only fall back on wind magic and martial arts.
She uses a set of three silver rings on her pinky, middle finger, and her thumb, and golden chain bracelets all of which are mastercraft wind enchanted items passed down to her by her Pappy, there are also matching rings on her toes and anklets which gives her parity from any point on her body. Cynthia can utilize the magic in numerous ways but her favorites are to enhance her movements, hit opponents with a fist or knee before bursting them with compressed air strikes, or gliding along the ground. 
Cynthia is a trained soldier and uses the lessons as a former pirate hunter to operate as a devastatingly efficient stalker. Cynthia's Mystic Eye can detect magic signatures and read soul and spiritual frequencies, and since she was trained in special operations warfare, when you combine her knowledge of stealth with her capability to keep eyes on all her targets, she can become a deadly monster always a step behind you.
