## Biography

### Early Life

In 5928 ASA, Cancris Pagosia was born on the planet Autumnia. She lived here for the majority of her childhood and adolescence. Born to a biological Penumbrian father and Human mother, Cancris was adopted by an Autumnian family as an infant. As a child, she was great friends with Asher Kardia, an Autumnian boy who often playfully combated Cancris's almost pessimistic and pragmatic worldviews. She stayed on Autumnia for most of her adolescence until she moved to Cassiopeia Prime to become a scholar.

### A Member of the Quartz Squadron

In 5946 ASA, Pagosia reunited with Asher Kardia for the first time since childhood, and so the two of them reconnected as friends.

In 5947 ASA, the Quartz Squadron was born. Titan was the leader of this group of privateers, and Cancris acted as the group's engineer and researcher. The other members of the group were Asher Kardia, Rodra Bal, and Detali Tur. The Quartz Squadron took on many different jobs throughout the galaxy together, from simple delivery missions to rescuing people in need. Cancris had rather mixed feelings from the start about joining the group, but she put this aside to be by Asher's side once more. These troubled feelings would persist until the group's end.

### Falling Out

As the group stayed together over the years, tensions between them arose. Asher's relationship with Titan was getting torn, and Cancris Pagosia greatly questioned Titan's leadership, finding it harsh and, at times, cruel. However, Rodra Bal and Detali Tur sometimes found Titan's leadership to be just. This clash of opinions among the crew led to their end as a group. Eventually, in early 5949 ASA, the Quartz Squadron disbanded. Pagosia severed connections with everyone from the group, save for one person. The only person Pagosia kept in touch with directly after the Quartz Squadron's disbandment was Asher Kardia, who eventually found became a member of the Dawns.

### Working Under the Lumin Crown

By the year 5957 ASA, Cancris had been working as a researcher under the Lumin Crown in the Etelan Worlds for several years. She was devoted to her job and respected by her peers and by her ultimate supervisor, the King South of Lumin himself.

## Personality and Traits

Cancris was a Penumbrian-Human woman with dull violet red skin, aubergine-colored eyes, and grape-colored hair. She often had her hair uniquely tied into two tails, in such a manner that gave off the imagery of ribbons and bows.

In contrast to her friend Asher, Cancris had a rather naturally pessimistic outlook on most things. She often found it difficult to hope for the best and wasn't able to let herself be blinded by idealism. She thought in a pragmatic and practical manner. Despite this attitude on life, Cancris was able to form strong connections with others and sometimes envied how optimistic some of her friends were. She thought warmly about the comfort she felt when in the presence of friends, but sometimes had difficulty showing this affection outwardly.

## Skills and Abilities

As a researcher, Cancris was well-versed in the scientific spheres of knowledge. She knew how to properly and safely conduct research. As a privateer, Cancris was trained to have some degree of skill in self defense and general combat, having been taught the basics on how to handle firearms.
