Cynndia

Appearance
Cynndia is seemingly of a young age. She is quite fragile in her appearance: her skin is very pale, giving the impression she has never met sunlight in her life; her arms are thin and lack strength, even though there is a slight hint of muscle on them. Her hair is long, straight and ginger. She is slightly short in size and the robes she tends to wear are sometimes lightly dragged on the ground in her wake. A look of curiousity can often be seen in her deep brown eyes, and her expression is usually quite naive. She speaks with a loud, educated accent.

Affiliation:
The Alliance

Theramore

The Kirin Tor

Guild
Starlight

Brief summary of her background
Born in Andorhal after the end of the First War, Cynndia had sort of a happy childhood. Having survived the war events of the Second War with her family, she enjoyed the short time of peace that followed and grew up with the stories of defeated orcs, no longer a threat to humanity. Eventually she left for Dalaran to study and master the arcane, as her potential in the arts was noticed by a traveling wizard who passed through her home town. Since then, she hasn't had any further contact with her family and past friends.

She grew up there, quickly getting used to the arts of magic, learning them and mastering new spells. The halls of the Violet Citadel became her new home and it wasn't once that she spent whole nights in the rich libraries of Dalaran. It was her curiosity and intellect that helped her in her studies, and she had the tendency to learn anything she wanted to know.

As the Third War came and the undead laid siege to Dalaran, she stood back. She was no warrior, thus making the choice to flee rather than stand and fight with the more powerful mages. It was in that flight to Kalimdor that she first met Alrandath - a Lordaeronian knight who would later in her life become her mentor.

Post-war background
Cynndia left Dalaran before the siege, joining the fleeing human forces led by Jaina Proudmoore. Having taken part in the battle of Mount Hyjal, she remained a loyal follower to Jaina Proudmoore, later on making a new home in the newly built city of Theramore. In the years of the Burning Crusade she joined the local military, serving the new human nation as a spellguard in the Theramore Task Force. She refused to return to the Kirin Tor after its relocation in Northrend in the campaign against the Scourge, as its neutral position clashed with her loyalty to the Alliance, so she joined a mercenary company instead - the Northwind Free Company. She returned to Theramore after the events of the cataclysm, signing up once again for her previous duty as a Spellguard.

Family Background
Julius Marlow - Father - went missing during the Third War; supposedly headed to Gilneas before the fall of Andorhal.

Lucila Marlow - Mother. Slain during the Scourge invasion in Lordaeron.

Davius - Her uncle. Although once a noble man, he was turned into a minion of the Scourge. When he returned to Cynndia, she saw him for the first time in many years. Although she was shocked by his appearance, she accepted him as her relative, not even suspecting the schemes he had planned and the traps he eventually led her into.

Cynndia's family originates from Andorhal, and she hasn't seen any of them since she left for Dalaran as a child, to study for a sorceress. She lost any contact with them even before the town was taken over by the Scourge. Alrandath is the only real connection to her family, as he was a good friend and a brother-in-arms to her father from past wars. What is currently known is that her father's fate is uncertain, and Alrandath is in a way taking that role.

Criminal Record
Various casts of a permanent polymorph spell on people who had angered her.

Powers
Cynndia's true power lies within the Arcane. Her combat style is based on defensive water spells, mostly imbued by frost. She can conjure various cyclones, summon a blizzard, send a cone of arctic wind aganst her opponent or simply freeze them and shatter them together with their icy prison. She can also call forth her Water Elemental guardian, which is her best choice when outnumbered by her enemies.

Her methods are elusive - she would shield herself in arcane, turn invisible, or just teleport away and avoid any battle.
