## Appearance

Sib is quite slight, with lean muscle from years on the move out in the wilderness, living and working with animals. They are 5'6". They have short, dark black hair and grey skin, covered in white tattoos in a grid-like formation all over their body. Depending on the season, these tattoos glow into constellations and connect with each other, snaking and moving around them, especially when casting spells. When Sib enters their Starry Forms, the tattoos all glow brightly and will fold out from them, enveloping them in constellations evocative of the form they are taking (for example, when in Dragon form, constellations in the shape of wings appear behind their back. They have white eyes with small pupils from years underground and living nocturnally, with purple irises - when they enter their Starry Form, the pupils disappear completely and only the purple irises and glowing white eyes remain.

Their clothes are fairly minimal and function first due to their wilderness life and antisocial tendencies - this means they rarely need clothes for an occasion other than simply living. They mostly wear black robes with purple and white accents, as well as dyed black linen trousers and over shirts. These are always accompanied by thick boots. Most of these clothes are quite dirty, though they do have official, more clean and quality robes for official or formal business, which is rare.

Colour palette: black, purple, silver, white

## Personality

Sib is mostly quiet and unassuming on the outside, but has a fiery conviction in their aims and will not put their strictly held morality on the back burner under any circumstance. While they are stubborn in this sense, they are not necessarily a stubborn person in most other cases, and will be happy to let other people get on with whatever they want to do as long as it doesn't hinder them. They are also not selfish, and will happily work alongside people that have aligning goals or goals that will help them achieve what they want in the long run (as seen with True Light). Mostly, they can be described as dogmatic and idealistic.

Due to everything they have seen and studied, they are also quite nihilistic. They have seen lots of suffering and studied much more, and being a child living in a role meant for adults has put a significant amount of strain on their life, causing them often to want to leave everything behind and start on new projects, because they never see any way to make things better if they don't work the first time. This is not helped by their young age and naivety, and belief that things that are good work first time, and don't need all the work put into them. When they have support and guidance from people that they trust, they can achieve great things (as seen with their time working directly with other Nightwalkers).

They are intensely analytical, and unless something enrages them or goes against their morals completely, they will hang back and analyse and theorise about issues before tackling them directly. They are working on trying to work better with others.

## Backstory

Sib was originally named Sibyl and AFAB by their society - in some Star Kingdom areas, babies are raised communally due to uncertainty that parents will live under the rule of the Dark Elves. This means that children often have more freedom, and so when they were very small, they began to reject all societal structures, including gender, choosing to spend their time with spirits and magical creatures. Sib related with these creatures greatly due to their quiet, calm nature, uncomplicated lives, and lack of oppressive societal structures.

Living underground, they loved stories of the stars and began trying to learn as much as they could about the working of the heavens above them and the power that they gave to their people. Eventually, by age 10, they had exhausted all of the folk stories, science, and literature available to them, but still wanted more. As such, they resorted to far more drastic measures to better understand the stars, and began formulating plans to break into libraries and offices controlled by Dark Elves. For some time, this worked, and they snuck out books and star maps from restricted areas, gradually becoming almost encyclopaedic in their knowledge. One night, they snuck into the office of [Powerful Officer of Dark Kingdom Military], and were caught.

Set to be executed, they turned to the stars one last time to protect them from death. From inside their cell, the air around them seemed to glow with stars, and in a spectacular and violent breakout, they were saved by the Nightwalkers, on the grounds that they must join the Order. They accepted, and immediately their training in Star Magic and Druidic skills began. They got their tattoos and summoned Luxo, a glowhawk, to be their familiar. This training continued for two years, as they worked behind the scenes in dismantling the iron grip of the Dark Elves on the Star Elves, often travelling to the surface under the cover of night, bolstered by the stars.

It was during these two years that Sib began to notice something strange. Their power as an order was diminishing despite their numbers growing by the day. As an avid academic and student of the stars, they got to plotting out the changing stars and noticed something horrifying: *The stars were disappearing.* Where there were constellations, there were now dark spots in the sky. It was happening slowly, but looking upon a map of the sky before the Star Elves were subjugated to the Dark Elves' tyranny, it was clear that the sky was changed massively, to the point where if the problem was left unchecked, soon there would be no stars left, and the Star Elves would never be able to escape their bondage.

With the permission of the Nightwalkers, Sib began to travel through Impruena to find information, consulting old spirits and creatures to determine what anyone knows. So far the answer is clear: nobody knows anything. Now, Sib has joined True Light, an Anti-Sun Kingdom organisation, hoping to see what the Sun Kingdom (also in a sense star worshippers) know about why this is happening.
