## History

### Before the Horde Invasion

As is common with Magicat females, C'yra was drafted into the royal army at age fifteen, where she quickly climbed the ranks, and even rivaled her superiors. As a reward for her strength, she was betrothed by the king and queen to their daughter, Princess Mel'endy. C'yra was ready to hate the princess so many had deemed a "weakling," but instead, she found herself falling in love with the princess's sweet but strong nature. Soon after their marriage, they had a daughter; Princess Cat'rina of Halfmoon.

When Cat'rina was only two years old, the Horde began to grow in power on Etheria. A suprise ambush on Halfmoon caused the entire kingdom to fall to ruin. During the attack, C'yra was leading an offence against the Horde, while Mel'endy was attempting to flee with Cat'rina. C'yra and her army were actually able to fight the soldiers off, but by then, over three quarters of the Magicat population had been wiped out. Thinking about what her wife would do, instead of sending out more warriors, C'yra called for a tactical retreat into the underground tunnels and caves beneath Halfmoon, where the remaining civilian population would stay until the Horde had been delt with. C'yra stayed above to oversee the evacuation efforts, and find her wife and daughter.

Unfortunately, C'yra only found the body of Mel'endy, near the border of the Whispering Woods, with Cat'rina vanished.

### Re-Building Halfmoon

Once most of the remaining Magicats were underground, the tunnels were sealed with magic, and only those with express permission from the queen could enter or leave. Castle Halfmoon was re-instated in the biggest cave, the surrounding caves were used for communal areas like the market, and the smaller, outer caves were used for housing.

C'yra took on a very strict style of ruling, with a curfew for citizens, mandated food rations, and weekly meetings for discussion among the civilians. Anyone who opposed these rules would be kindly told to leave and go see Hordak about a death sentence.

## Personality

C'yra is headstrong and tough. Due to the death of her wife and the perceived death of her daughter, C'yra becomes almost unreachable in her emotions, and never listens to anyone. She prefers to use brute force to solve problems, and has a collection of weapons that she cares greatly for.

## Relationships

**Mel'endy:** Despite their arranged marriage, C'yra and Mel'endy really did love each other. The two worked well as rulers and spouses together, evening each other out. While their personality differences sometimes caused them to argue, they always pulled together for the sake of their kingdom and their daughter.

**Catra:** As a child, Catra was C'yra's pride and joy. When Cat'rina was around, C'yra felt like she could be more than just a mindless soldier, that she had a reason to live for in her wife and daughter. Cat'rina's "death" very nearly destroyed her. After meeting Catra as an adult, the two don't get along at all. C'yra feels that Catra's way of viewing the world is flawed and incomplete; just like Mel'endy's.

## Trivia

* Her name comes from the 1985 show *She-Ra: Princess of Power,* as Catra's real name.
