## Profile

### Background

The Grimrose family descends from ancient Scythian priests known as the Enarei. These andrognyous shaman were 'cursed' by their goddess of love and beauty to appear more feminine. This curse ran through the blood of their descendents, causing those born male to appear more feminine as well as having bodies receptive to possession by spirits and resistant to alteration.

As generations passed, this trait began to fade, weakening the Mystery. By their measure, the trait, now called **Artifact Urania**, had waned to an average 5% of its full potential. To avoid this, Sibyl's great-great-great grandmother began cultivating the trait, in order to increase its potency, aiming to create a being capable of holding a Divine Spirit as they could in the Age of Gods.

After generations of breeding, Sibyl was born with latent potential to access 100% of Artifact Urania's capabilities. When she set the parents to producing a female child to lead the family, they vanished, never to be seen again.

Undaunted by this minor setback, Angel set to raising Sibyl into the perfect vessel for a divine being. Using ancient traditions, she raised the male-born child as a girl, conducted experiments on their body to permenantly alter it and enhance their Magic Circuits, and other gruesome activites. All this torture on a young child in the feeble hope of attaining godlike power.

During these years, Sibyl had little companionship and experienced no affection from their grandmother, seen as little more than an experiment. Withdrawn and depressed, the child followed silently behind their grandmother down the path to perfection.

As it would happen, Sibyl was a failure By the time they reached full maturity, Sibyl was only able to access 70% of Artifact Urania's potential.

Outraged by this, Angel cast Sibyl out into the world, sending them away to the Clock Tower to 'do something useful'. Now away from their loveless grandmother and out in a world full of experiences, Sibyl was thankful to have been born a failure.

### Appearance

A beautiful doll. Their skin is smooth and milky like a pearl with eyes the color of amethyst. Slight of frame, Sibyl is surprisingly short. Of their features, Sibyl is most proud of their hair, luxurious and vibrantly pink, they spend many hours each night brushing it five hundred times.

Sibyl prefers a cozy, pastel style of fasion, often wearing sweaters and scarfs in muted colors, though they have a fondness for white.

### Personality

Sibyl is perhaps one of the friendliest people most will meet. Almost always welcoming and joyful, Sibyl finds themself adjusting to the 'tune' of other people, fitting into their style regardless of Sibyl's own preferences. However they can become friends with someone is the best way to act in that moment.

When by themselves, Sibyl withdraws back into the silent child, stuck in an internal world of their own. They try their best to stop that, allowing themself to express their emotions through fashion and art, particularly photography.

It is hardly a surprise that Sibyl deeply desires affection. Starved of it their entire lives, Sibyl wishes to be loved more than anything else in the world. Due to this, Sibyl often puts the full force of their affection into the smallest of interactions. They are determine to love and be loved by as many people as possible. Such a wide open heart leaves them open to cruelty and manipulation, but Sibyl is not a fool. They recognize evil and detest it. They know that there are simply some people in the world that do not deserve love.

Despite being a part of Yumina, an artistocratically aligned department, and an aristocrat themselves, Sibyl is largely neutral to the politics of the Clock Tower. If anything, they lean towards the democratic, accepting people from all walks of life into the moonlit world.
