Cyliane

## Cyliane "Cylia" Astridsdottir "Wanes"

Cyliane is one of Kiur's companions and was previously a forced labourer in the Reiszer Nations but escaped with Kiur, Aleksandre and many others to Navarre.

## Personality

Unconventional can describe her character well. She does things in a way no one predicts and is able to surprise others. She has a stern and cold approach on things, thinking less emotional and more calculative. Cyliane often prefers to be silent and observative earning her a keen eye for perspective.

A strong hatred for the Reiszer can sometimes cloud her judgement, acting impulsive. She wishes to go back home but with the current situation over there and her position as a forced labourer she is unable to.

Her tone can shift to become worried about her family like her mother who worked with her as a forced labourer or her father who she was separated with since a child. She's not a person to interact with others on a casual basis except for Kiur who makes it easy to talk with and Alexandre who she argues a lot with.

## Appearance

Cyliane previously had very long hair which is ash-black and always unkempt. After her escape from the Reiszer with Kiur and Alexandre she cut it shorter and tied it up in a messy bun which sometimes looks silly.

She mostly wears silver coloured robes with green ligning to fit into Navarre. With a belt tied firmly around her hips she likes to keep around a crossbow or other useful weapons on hands like knives. A habit from her work where unpredictable things were a basis for her paranoia. She wears sturdy footwear to be mobile regardless of terrain to be prepared for any encounter.

## History

Cyliane was born in a small town called Avaldsnes and lived happily with her parents. After the invasion of the Reiszer Nations that came from the west she and her mother were taken as forced labourers. With each year Cyliane and her mother were moved from the most northern part of their home country to the southern edges where the sea was. Beyond it were the Western Human Nations where they hoped to flee to at a given chance.

The both of them did every odd job and task they were given. Cooking, cleaning, serving, almost anything except for prostitution. They got lucky when her mother got a task on a ship and could take her daughter with her by hiding her in the storage areas. However, the ship captain was killed for working in a traficking ring which they weren't aware of and got separated forcefully for smuggling.

Having been driven further east she had not seen her mother for years. With the invasion plans further east and the attacks against nearby cities and towns Cyliane was tasked to help with logistics. In the desert and savannes she was working near the prisoner carriages of the kidnapped people where she met Archil, the older brother of Kiur, who sneaked in with other scouts to free everyone. Agreeing to help she was part in supporting each carriage in their escape and giving around orders for helpful labourers and prisoners so they could all escape. On one such occasion she was asked to find a blonde man named Kiur as he was able to fluently communicate with each prisoner and labourer where she also met Alexandre.

In the desert she, Alexandre and Kiur worked together to escape their pursuers and fled to Navarre. Having nowhere to go she was willing to stay with her two new companions and hopes to one day return back home.
