Faye Azar Cinder

# *"Maybe it was curiousity or even stupidity. In fact, there's probably not a difference anymore." -Faye*

Did someone say Cipher?! Better watch out because you might have summoned Faye to your side.

Having a very stilted childhood, Faye grew up as a young child in feilds of Bralen, spending most of her time with her grandfather, Azar Cinder for whom she's named after. After his tragic death, Faye never quite recovered. Faye lives in Onin with her Auntie, Azar's sister. There she and her best friend, Reed Raimond Conway, spend lots of time together exploring Onin and cleaning the Pyer Inn. But the scar of Azar's death has left her never quite went away.

## Description

Faye Cinder has thick and wavy light brown hair that falls somwhere above her shoulders (though sometimes long enough to pull back into a loose bun.) Regardless of how she does her hair, it is always uncempt with flyaways everywhere. She has very ruddy skin especially on her face, fingers, and toes, a tell tale sign that she's a Fire Elemental. Faye has round facial features, a square face, a stout nose, and a weak jawline. Her eyes are round and steely grey.

Being a Fire Elemental, Faye wears lots of red and marrons. She likes to wear vests, heavy sweaters, long coats and fingerless gloves. She wears metal ear cuffs around the edges of her ears, wears many necklaces at one (of which she has a collection of), and similary she does the same with rings.

### Personality

Faye Cinder is known for her curiousity, imagination, and recklessness. She is known to be very oblivious and absent-minded. She's very eccentic and and goofy, often finding pride in making other confused. She loves puzzles, pointless adventures, long-winded speechess, and telling Barrow Everhart when she thinks he's wrong. Though dispite this, theres nothing she loves more than candid introspective conversations about life with Reed Raimond Conway.

Faye has an intense disconnect between her and society, which portays her as somewhat aloof and air-headed. She's never felt an attachment to society because she feels as though she doesn't belong. Her imagiative and isolated personality stems from the trauma of loosing her father figure, Azar Cinder, early in her childhood. She learned that its better to spend her life living in a fake fantasy world in her head rather than living in the cruel reality of the world. This causes her to live life in a fairly reckless manner. By refusing to see the reality of situations, she often doesn't recognize social cues and even danger. This results in her appearing reckless, impulsive, and insenstive.

*"A lot of my character stems from not knowing who I am, I don’t know where I can from, why Im here, what I’m doing, I just feel like I was put on the earth without a purpose, and I’m trying to find that purpose." -Me*

Though she dearly loves her friends, Faye Cinder perfers to spend the majority of her time alone. In her free time, Faye enjoys finding out new things through pointless expiraments, and playing with the Pyer Inn's cat Snatchers. She loves talking long walks at night and looking up at the stars.

## Background

Faye Cinder was born in Bralen in the Fire Territory to a mother and father that she never knew. In fact, she believed for her entire life that her parents ran off to join the circus. Now, in her young adulthood, something doesn't sit right regarding her parents. A large scar still sits in her heart having never known them. Still, that didn't stop her from having a wonderful childhood with her grandfather, Azar Cinder, and grandaunt (Auntie), Jorah Cinder. She spent the majority of her days running around the fields of Bralen looking into cool holes, learning candle tricks with her growing Fire Elemetal abilities, and talking to the shadow outside her window at night. She has strong memories of times when Azar would get back from his work, and they'd eat chocolate together and she'd ride on his back through the rolling hills of grass.

When Faye was 10 years old, things began changing for her family. Jorah had moved to the Capital to purse an impressive career as an Investigator for the Royals, and Azar was stationed in The Town of Onin for his job. Faye went with Azar, and for a few months they lived happily. One autumn day Azar dropped Faye off at The Pyer Inn where she would stay with the family for a few days. There she would meet Reed Conway for the first time. Azar never came back, and a few days later news of his death had come.

Faye then went under custody with her Auntie, where she would live in the Capital for a 2 years as Jorah continued her work. There Faye learned to cope with Azar's death through her imagination. She rarely left their apartment building and spent the majority of her time reading, drawing, thinking and trying to stay out of trouble. But as Jorah got older, it became harder and harder to balance work and taking care of Faye so the two of them moved back to Onin into Azar's old cabin where they would stay.

There Faye reunited with Reed, and the two quickly became unsepratable friends. And while the Pyers seemingly adopted her as their own child, Faye still feels detatched from it all. Believing that she will never truly belong somewhere. Sometimes Faye will see what she believes to be Azar's goldendaen apparation lingering around. It brings her some form of comfort knowing that he's still around her.

### Faye's Parents

(add the real story that might never come into play)

## Notable Relationships

### Reed Conway

(Edit)

Faye looks up to Reed heavily. In the beginning of the story at first its just pure admiration. Reed has big dreams, and Faye can't find meaning to her life, so she looks up to him and wants to be like him.

While Faye looks up to Reed because of his dreams and passions, Reed looks up to Faye because she isn’t tied down by the stresses of the world.

Theres such a large loneliness to Faye. And I think Reed knows this, and knows that it’s not something that can’t be easily fixed. But he still tries to be the best friend he can, and part of that was making new friends with Faye, so like making an effort to get to know Tori more with Faye, and making her feel super comfortable around his family.

In the beginning, Faye’s crush on Reed is less of a crush and just more of pure admiration, that almost manifested itself into a small crush. But more of a *platonic crush*.

Faye has the tendency to run away

Once when she was 15 Faye ran away to find her parents in the circus and Reed didn’t see her for so long. He was really hurt by this because Reed had tried to make Faye feel at home. And when she ran away it was almost as if he had failed. This was also when she started to doubt the stories that Jordah and Azar were telling her about her parents.

This wasn't the only time Faye would run away. There were also a few scattered times when Reed wouldn't see her for a week and he'd have no word from her at all or why she left or what she was doing. This has all left Reed slightly hurt. While they have talked about this before and Faye has apologized and never did it again. Reed still worries about her because he knows that she doesn't feel like she belongs even though his family--and even the entire town--has practically adopted her.

When the whole group turns on her in book 4 it hurts Faye hard because the Ruvenators had become her family and it was like she had lost her family again, which is why she ran away

Faye is intuitive in the way of fantasies and intense imagination.

Reed is more intuitive in the way of having dreams and being passionate and creative (poetry?, illustrations, art)
