cyuris fryst

• the noble pirate •

Cyuris was much more… wily looking. There was something about her which clearly said she knew what was going on, whether it was her knowing eyes or her practised gait. She held herself with poise Frankie wouldn’t have attributed to a pirate, and spoke in an accent certainly not formed at sea, but she was clearly totally at home here, queen of her nautical domain. All her discordant parts summed together in a crooked smile that made Frankie ever so slightly uneasy.

cyuris is the quartermaster of the flightless pegasus, the pirate ship captained by ducat. an abnormally tall woman with an abnormally noble manner, she claims she and her captain have a lead to find the missing princess.

• cyuris is seven feet tall and a member of the rarest subspecies of fey — the translucents, whose skin is see-through in bright light to the point that you can make out the outlines of their bones.
• she and ducat are close. she calls him ducat instead of captain, and he’s past the point of trying to correct her.
• though intelligent, cyuris lacks wisdom. she can be very impulsive and headstrong, and tends to act on her own will if she thinks something is a good idea, even if everyone else is telling her it’s not.
• apart from impulsivity, pride and hubris can be major character flaws for her. it fits in with her tendency to do whatever she wants without thinking that she sometimes assumes things simply won’t have consequences, or that she’s untouchable.
