**Cirro Jarrah** is a water genasi warlock and member of the Victims of Circumstance. While she was born human, she unwittingly entered a pact with an ancient titan known as Levitheus and was transformed into a cecelia. Then, during her adventures in the Feywild, she was possessed by the titan and her soul was ejected from her body. The archfey Zybilna crafted her a new body from water and became her new warlock patron.

A traumatic past and penchant for lying makes Cirro difficult to read, but her intentions are often in the right place. She regrets her past mistakes and often laments her relationship with Levitheus, but she works hard to repair the damage the titan has caused and build a new future for herself and her husband, Helmeak.

## Biography

### Backstory

Cirro grew up on Pearl Island, a small piece of land off the coast of Western Leshen. She was raised by abusive and neglectful parents, prompting her to venture beyond the island shores and frequent the island of Kirkos, the largest island in the surrounding archipelago. It was there she met Helmeak, a young dwarven shipbuilder, and Marzipa, a local tiefling baker.

Cirro got a job at Marzipa's bakery "The Cookie Cutter" and spent her adolescent years exploring the archipelago with Helmeak. Eventually, the two of them developed feelings for one another and danced around the idea of a relationship for a short while.

Before either of them could confess their feelings, however, Helmeak had a chance encounter with a squadron of Gilded Guard soldiers from Silverland. They inspired him to pursue knighthood and offered to sponsor his training, but it would require him to sail from Kirkos and leave Cirro behind.

Finally, Cirro and Helmeak confessed their feelings to one another and promised to build a life together once Helmeak had completed his training. Over the next few years, Cirro worked as a fisherman and saved her money while Helmeak pursued knighthood within the Gilded Guard.

Then, one day, a letter arrived and announced that Helmeak had been slain. His squadron had been attacked at sea by a red dragon and none had survived. Heartbroken and distraught, Cirro raced home to Pearl Island only to confront her mother and father in the middle of a heated argument. Her mother had been caught cheating and her father, in his rage, slammed her against the wall. Then he set the bridge on fire between Pearl Island and Kirkos, trapping Cirro on the island to wallow in her grief.

Cirro was then tempted to end it all. But as she stepped towards the edge of the island cliffs, she heard a voice and stopped. An entity she eventually named Rodrick promised to help her and give her purpose again if she helped restore his true form. She agreed, and the two of them fused into one being: a cecelia woman with tentacled legs and dark tattoos.

Cirro and Rodrick then left Kirkos and sought out information about Rodrick's imprisonment. They visited underwater cities, explored vast trenches, and even joined a pirate crew for a brief time. Eventually, Rodrick instructed Cirro to visit Silverland and find the Witchlight Carnival; he'd heard rumors of a powerful entity who could perform godlike feats. He planned to use this power to restore his form and promised Cirro he would return Helmeak to her once they had succeeded.

## Description

### Appearance

Originally, Cirro was a human girl with long black hair that easily tangled itself into knots. After making a pact with Levitheus, she transformed into a cecelia with yellowish-green skin, finned ears, eight tentacled legs, and a bald head. Long tattoos like octopus tentacles covered her body, often slithering beneath her skin as if alive. On her right hand was a dark stain that Levitheus sometimes manifested within.

After Levitheus fully possessed her body, the archfey Zybilna crafted her a new one from the water of a pool. Cirro then made a new pact with Zybilna and destroyed her old body in order to stop Levitheus' return to power. This new form is made entirely of water, with green skin and dynamic hair that cascades down her back like a waterfall. Tattoos cover her arms, chest, and legs from her time with Levitheus, but they no longer writhe and shift as they once did.

### Personality

Cirro is outwardly inquisitive and impulsive, but she is also extremely secretive and protective of her true thoughts. She often lies or redirects conversations that drift too close to her past, and is prone to changing topics abruptly or forcing a smile in an otherwise dark situation. Cirro has gotten into trouble more than once after touching, moving, or engaging with something before properly investigating, which has led to some hilarious and destructive outcomes.

Before Levitheus' betrayal, Cirro was especially closed off and fearful of revealing her true intentions. She feared angering Levitheus and often doubted her decision to aid him, especially after he started threatening her new friends. By the time she had rescued Zybilna and been offered the power to restore Levitheus, she had decided to betray him after all. Unfortunately, however, Levitheus had made traitorous plans of his own.

Now that Cirro has been reunited with both Helmeak and Marzipa, her hope for the future has strengthened. She is devoted to repairing the damage caused by Levitheus and seeks to find a new purpose alongside her friends, both old and new.

## Abilities

Cirro is a Water Genasi Archfey Patron Warlock. She focuses primarily on distance and ranged spellcasting, with the occasional use of her anchor as a melee weapon. Many of her spells are AoE, allowing her to manipulate the battlefield and better manage encounters with large groups of enemies.

As a Water Genasi, Cirro can breathe underwater and has an innate resistance to cold effects. Thanks to her arclight phoenix familiar Marzi, she also has resistance to lightning. Her pact with Zybilna has gifted her fey-like abilities that can charm, trick, or otherwise enchant her opponents, especially when backed into a corner.
