Cypress is kind, curious, determined, and selfless. He thinks of others before himself and seems to stop at nothing to help those he cares about. He loves his family and prioritizes them above everything else. When he spotted Kirsi falling into a depression due to Pyry's absence, he began working to find him and bring him back, no matter what he has to sacrifice in order to achieve that.

## Biography

Cypress was born in Gellis long after the end of The Great War. He lived with both of his parents for around three hundred years and lived happily with them. He was taught how to fight by Kirsi and was slowly learning to be proficient with a spear before Pyry disappeared. A soon as his father left with nothing more than a note to explain his sudden disappearance, he began noticing that Kirsi's mood began decreasing and her stress levels began to rise.

Worried for her mental health, Cypress began to attempt to track down Pyry and bring him home. When his search within Gellis came up with nothing, he reluctantly left his mother a similar note and snuck through the portal to Earth through the tunnels. Once he was on Earth he resumed his search. Although after searching for two hundred years, he gradually began to forget Pyry's appearance. Kirsi mentioned that they shared the same color hair, so the only detail that he retained about Pyry was that he had red hair.

He arrived in Taraxacum during Max and Caligo's falling out and was welcomed by Caligo. He resided in Taraxacum for a week or so before Max took him to The Crime Shack, and he lived there for a while. When Pyry heard word that his son was on Earth, he and Sho began looking for him. This led to a fight in which Cypress agreed to go with Ash in order to see his father again. He then moved to the care of The Esmeray and Themis.
