Sinmara

**Sinmara** is a Phoenix of Darkness, Salaark and Leegaain's daughter, and Surtr's twin sister. She is Salaark's right-hand and one of the few Awakened who managed to reach the white core. She defeated the cursed object, Bright Day (Dawn), before entrusting her to the Rezar Werefolk tribe.

## Appearance

### Human Form

Sinmara's human form has the appearance of a stunning redhead about 1.83 meters (6') tall with emerald green eyes. She has cute little freckles under her eyes, on her nose, and on her pale shoulders.

### Hybrid Form

Sinmara stands as a 40 meters (132 feet) tall creature that resembles a hybrid between a human and a pitch-black feathered Phoenix. She takes this as her work form to be able to use her tools without magic while also retaining all of her bloodline abilities. She wears a white overall, heavy working gloves, and a thick work apron all made of pure-white scales.

### Phoenix Form

Sinmara's Phoenix form is that of a huge black bird that resembles an eagle, about 40 meters (131 feet) tall with a wingspan over twice as wide. Unlike an eagle, however, the feathers on her tail resemble those of a peacock and form a long tress engulfed by black flames that extends for a dozen of meters.

## Sinmara's Home

Sinmara lives in a volcano in one of the Blood Desert's Mountain ranges, a mountain that looks stumpy compared to its neighbors and has a column of black smoke coming out of it. Everything is the size of its master. The corridors, the ceiling, and the rooms can all easily accommodate a creature 40 meters (132 feet) tall. Unlike Faluel's lair, however, Sinmara had decorated her place like a home. Every room has a soft carpet giving warmth to the place and muffling their footsteps. Otherwise, each step of a creature as big as Lith would produce a thunder that the echo of the halls would make deafening. The walls, ceiling, and the ground are polished to the point that the red light that comes from the heart of the volcano is reflected to perfection. It illuminates each room with a soft white light thanks to the lack of doors and the walls changing its color.

The air is clean and the temperature no higher than that of the outside Desert. The Phoenix has no trouble with heat, but the same can't be said for her furniture. Enchanting the home arrays to keep the temperature stable is much easier than crafting everything to be heat-resistant. Paintings are hung on the walls, depicting not only the most important moments in Sinmara's life, but also those of the people of the Desert and of Salaark's nest. Many Phoenixes of various colors are portrayed but Sinmara is the only one so black that she resembles an Abomination hybrid. On top of that, her twin brother Surtr is always depicted next to her as a Dragon shining with a silvery-white radiance.

Despite growing up and progressing towards the violet first then the white core together, Sinmara and her brother split so that they could each have their own volcano, doubling their resources and getting personal space.

## Background

Sinmara and her twin Surtr were born from Leegaain and Salaark, though neither of them managed to merge the two bloodlines. They ended up becoming respectively a Phoenix and a Dragon. They picked different life forces, but they always stuck together. Their bond is so deep that they worked their way up to the white core without anyone's help but each other's. They didn't rely on Leegaain's help nor Salaark's.

Sinmara hung out with Elphyn Menadion in the past, though Salaark disapproved because she felt Elphyn's workaholic life was a bad influence on Sinmara.

Surtr becomes happily married to Rethia the Wind Griffon and rubs it in Sinmara's face whenever he can, sending pictures of his kids, grandkids, and even grand-grandkids. Every time the twins talk, Surtr mocks his sister by asking her to give a hug to her hammers for him. He occasionally drops his kids with her and goes on vacations with Rethia whenever he gets angry with Sinmara.

A couple centuries before Lith was born, Dawn encountered Sinmara. Sinmara barely defeated Dawn but failed to destroy her so she approached the Beast Council, who entrusted the imprisonment of Dawn to the Rezar Werefolk Tribe.

Sinmara along with all other Guardians and white cores are summoned to witness Lith's world tribulation in the Lost City of Kolga and Scarlett's final tribulation against Xedros in the Eclipsed Lands.

Sinmara attends Lith's formal introduction visit to the Council. When Lith reveals War and it speaks, Salaark orders Sinmara to investigate its creator Orion Ernas. During Qisal the Wyvern's Spirit Duel against Lith, Sinmara and the other Phoenixes cheer for Lith when the Blood Imprint manifests his dormant Phoenix blood. When Xedros attempts to claim foul play, Sinmara and several others admonish him, tired of his rants and inferiority complex. Lith soundly wins the duel to a standing ovation from his beast kin, with Xedros leaving in disgrace.

When Vareen the Plaguespreader attacks the fake city of Urgamakka that is hosting the Council test, the Yggdrasill contacts Salaark, who asks the First Lich Aylen Nagaar to fill in for Sinmara and deal with the Eldritch in exchange for a pardon to keep her pets out of the international list of most wanted creatures. Sinmara in turn secretly observes the battle and Aylen's Mirror Magic and learns to defend against it for their next encounter.

During the Verhen family's visit to Salaark in the Blood Desert, Sinmara meets with her half-sister Xenagrosh and Lith in her volcano home. Sinmara compliments Lith's ice cream invention and his performance during the Urgamakka trial, whose results she examined. They share a meal and a drink, and after the two sisters warn Lith away from practicing Chaos magic, Sinmara promises to bring the pair along her next mission.

Xenagrosh and Lith meet with Sinmara, who talks with Solus and explains that they hung out together in the past. She reveals that she had sent Aylen Nagaar to rescue them during the Urgamakka trial in order to observe the First Lich's abilities and equipment. Sinmar confronts Aylen, who is stealing from an undiscovered mine, and summons members of the nest to capture her Emperor Beast pets. Lith participates, summoning his Origin Demons to counter Aylen's golem army, after which they both gain insights on golem crafting. Aylen escapes shortly after.

## Quotes

* *"Our race, instead, respects growth over seniority. Age is meaningless if you learn nothing despite the passing of time. Power without change leads to staleness, like it happened to your bloodline. Life is meant to break us down. It's up to us to rise again and be better for it."* (Sinmara to Xedros, Chapter 1359)
* *"Do you bathe clothed? I'm flattered by your feelings, but I have no interest in anyone younger than 300...Good gods. A powerful creature that's good with children and even knows how to cook. You definitely are a full package. If I'm still single in 300 years you have to call me."* (Sinmara to Lith, Chapter 1548)
