## Personality

Sybil is a witch and an astrologist who takes her passion seriously. She is very knowledgeable in this subject in part. She combines her astrology skills with hydromancy, which makes her a well-known prophetess. In part due to her astrology, Sybil can tell whether or not a person is lying, can sense their intentions from a single glance, being capable of seeing their fate and is able to accurately deduce a person's traits just from knowing what their constellation is. Her blunt nature has resulted in plummeting numbers of people coming to have their fortunes told. But Sybil isn't one to complain, for that just leaves her with more time for her personal research.

Her astrological readings are exceptionally precise, and she will neither lie nor hold anything back when revealing the results of her readings. The cold, hard truth is laid bare before people's eyes, complete with all the grisly details that they would rather remain buried. Sybil will make no exceptions to this, and as such she can seem completely lacking in human emotion.

She is particularly picky when it comes to eating, as she prefers simple dishes when eating out; when she cooks, she makes the most out of whatever she can buy. She does not tolerate those who disrespect her. She also makes a lot of denials when someone is pointing out what she doesn't have.

Having never studied the art of finance, Sybil is always hovering around the poverty line. In order to save on food expenses, she once ate mushrooms for an entire month straight. If not for some relief funds coming from time to time, she would have had trouble eking out a living. Sybil does in fact have some money set aside. Even though she must eventually run dry without an income, she can slow the bleeding by scrimping in the food department. So where does the rest of the money go? Well, if you've ever had a look inside her lab, then know that the big pile of astrology-related apparatus and tools in there didn't come out of thin air. Whenever she gets paid, Sybil will immediately shell out on more astrology-related resources, returning to a state of destitution once more. This process plays out every month.

During her apprenticeship, Sybil found that the subtle abstractions of her master's teachings could explain the laws that governed the existence of all things. Human hearts were guided by these laws, and if one had great enough powers of calculation, all the mysteries of the world could be understood. Sybil once believed this to be true. But when she had to strike out on her own and live day-to-day, she found herself doubting. Not everyone lived wealthy and comfortable lives. Some neither had food nor warm clothes, living no differently from beggars. And it was just such an adventurer who, when meeting Sybil while she was out looking for fruits and vegetables to fill her stomach, shared half their food with her. This was not something inscribed on these so-called principles of the world. And many other such things she encountered on her journey — the honesty of a thief, a robber's change of heart, a coward's courage, the good deeds of a wicked person — Sybil began to have some doubts, but she also felt like she finally had her feet on solid ground.
