Syr Cydonia
| Age 170-ish |
| Gender Female |
| Origin sun elf |
| Occupation Knight Sworn of Anathaeum |
Cydonia was raised in an elven settlement within the Vayd Wilds. Her people are shepherds of the forests and friends to spirits. She was valued for her shroud-sharing abilities, and lived a comfortable life for most of her young adulthood.
It was for love that she strayed away from her clan. She followed a Knight of Anathaeum through the woods out of curiosity one day, and found that she liked the view from Astenvale. Decades later, her beau is long gone, but she continues to carry out the will of the Order.

Appearance
| Height 5'10" |
| Hair golden |
| Eyes grey |
Cyd holds the presence that many elves are known for - a willowy figure that moves with self-assured grace. The golden locks that frame her round face diffuse the sunlight in a warm way. Her ears are shorter than many other elves, though they still have the expected point to them. A spray of freckles across her cheeks interrupts her otherwise glowing complexion.
Personality
More or less a model knight. Cydonia is accommodating and sociable, though whether this is because her powers rely on cooperation or whether she is a genuinely upbeat person, is not immediately clear.
Skills
Swordsmanship - While she has training in other forms of combat, she prefers a sword and shield.
Magic Catalyst - An anomaly of sorts, magic flows through Cydonia differently than others of her ilk. She has an almost bottomless well of Shroud, but an unknown condition prevents her from drawing upon the energy needed to weave it herself. She can work neither spell nor enchantment on her own.
Instead, Cyd can transfer her power to others, and bolster the weaving of her allies. She needs to be within shouting distance to do this, and it requires uninterrupted concentration. The deeper the personal connection she has with someone, the more of her magic she is able to give them. Complete strangers do not benefit much from her abilities.
A Little Guy - Cyd has what appears to be a pet baby dragon. Whether or not the creature in question is truly a juvenile dragon or merely a miniature subspecies is not known, even by Cyd herself. It can belch a bout of flame hot enough to ignite dry tinder, and anything as flammable as dry tinder.
