Cloudburn

## Cloudburn Gier

**Cloudburn** is Infinity's main romantic partner.

## BACKGROUND

Cloudburn is the son of Legionnaires Rain and Gust, and the younger brother of Cirrus. Cloudburn being the more abrasive one between the two brothers was often compared to and encourage to follow the example of Cirrus, which led to Cloudburn holding animosity towards his parents up until their disappearance during a mission. As a result Cloudburn was moved from region to region until he settled in Voxen Tin during his High School years where he met and eventually began a relationship with Infinity. He enlisted to become a Legionnaire, but for reasons that are not directly stated he was rejected by the end of his training. However in Ribbon Shorts, it’s revealed there were rumors of him flirting with higher ranking officials during his time at training.

## PERSONALITY

Extroverted and Rebellious, Cloudburn is very egotistical and rambunctious on the surface, spending most of his time either at parties or at college with Infinity. He’s well known around the area specifically because of his willingness to engage in social interaction and rambunctious nature. This can also lead to him acting out recklessly as seen when he pushes Infinity to a human made robot to prove it’s harmlessness. Underneath though, he’s a very insecure but also emotional person who cares deeply about the people closest to him, as shown when he opens up to Quence about his feelings about Infinity, as he worries that, had he been a better partner he wouldn’t have gone to Quence.
