Cynder

Personality
Cynder was always forced to make decisions. Therefore, she is a natural leader and incredibly stubborn. Her positions have given her authority and she is not afraid to enforce it. She can, however, be caring.

Early Life
Cynder was born in Zanaris in the year 223 of the 4th Age. Her first few years were good as her father was a wealthy merchant, which allowed her to gain an excellent education. In 233, however, her father was ambushed and murdered; his goods were stolen. This left Cynder's pregnant mother to take care of her only daughter alone, and, because she didn't have an income, they became poor. When the second daughter, Flyme, was born, Cynder's mother died and she was left to take care of Flyme alone. She attempted to give Flyme the best education possible and constantly trained her.

The Destruction of Zanaris and the Aelwyd High Guard
When Cynder was 26 a group of Nocteran Assassins, lead by Ruttyr, attacked Zanaris. The city, although relatively large, was undefended and was destroyed. All the inhabitants, including Flyme and Cynder, were forced to flee the city.

After a month of travelling the sisters reached the Arandar Mountains, where they found the home of the Aelwyd. They decided to stay here, as they had gotten incredibly tired. Forced to take some sort of duty within the city, Flyme joined the Holy Order, while Cynder joined the High Guard.
