Adelaide

Notes:
- Adopted daughter of Arien
- As straight as a rainbow and my self-insert
- Has a massive crush on the weapons dealer, Aesara, despite knowing of her relationship with Raven
- She has difficult self-esteem issues and is often left to her own devices in her room unless she goes to her father and asks for a hug
- Determined with a strong will, she hopes to avenge her mother
- Still grieving over her mother's death and blames herself from time to time for not saving Aella, her younger and non-adopted sister
- A writer who enjoys sitting on the beach from time to time and letting the sound of the sea snag her imagination
- She misses feeling in love and often feels an ache in her heart whenever Valentine's Day rolls around
- She sometimes has a "down day" where she'd much rather be left alone than talk to someone about it, even though it's not good for her

Official Lore Notes:

Part one:
- Daydreaming in the market, beside the fountain
- Coincidentally staring at her crush, who's tending to a customer and insulting him for being so rude to her
- Niko scares her from behind and she ends up splashing him with water (and not apologising)
- They wander through the market for a present for his girlfriend and he talks to her about why she was staring at Aesara
- She reluctantly tells him and he teases her about it until she mentions that Aesara already has a girlfriend
- Once they've found Sky a present, they begin to wander back when Aesara stops them in her usual chaotic manner
- Cyra has to make up an excuse to get back so that she doesn't die from embarrassment and she leaves, blushing big time and hating herself for it

Part two:
- It's Valentine's Day for Ilaindran City and Cyra's in her room, wallowing in her own pity
- She's alone in the house; Niko and Sky went out for a special dinner for couples at the Clawing Post and Arien went out to the medic's for a check up on his condition
- Totem, Senu, Poppet and Ammon are with her down to Arien's request so that she doesn't feel too lonely and so they can all comfort her (the latter being something he didn't tell Niko or Sky)
- Senu and Ammon are playfighting in a corner and Poppet is sat in her crossed arms, licking her cheek with Totem playing an abstract tune on the desk she's sat at to cheer her up
- Cyra keep staring down into the centre, where she can see couples of all ages, breeds, colour and more dancing to a tune
- She notices Aesara and Raven talking to Niko and Sky and decides to close the curtains, shutting herself away in darkness
- Poppet begins to glow as a Trick of the Light and talks to her about her sadness
> Poppet is the source of Arien's "Aegis" guise, having inherited an ancient Deity's soul into her own as a messenger for the younger generations
- Cyra ends up cursing herself out for "being so foolish" and heads to bed
- The four familiars follow her and practically pile onto her when she lays down, cheering her up slightly before she drifts off into a deep, dreamless sleep

Part three:
- She's tending to Aesara, who was involved in another fight with soldiers but got badly injured
- Aesara's under the influence of a medication vial and so she thinks that Cyra is Raven
- Cyra tells her repeatedly that she isn't until Aesara recognises her and says that "it's just you, I thought Ravan got hurt too"
- Cyra finishes up and Raven comes bursting through the doors to the main room, tears streaming
- She has to look away and clean up the items she used when they kiss and embrace, hating herself for her feelings
- She tells them both that she'll heal up by tomorrow and so she can go back to the stall as early as lunchtime before leaving them to laugh and cry amongst themselves
- Sitting outside and alone--as Aella is cleaning up the mess that was made in the market by the guards--she lets herself cry for whatever loss she feels until Poppet appears out of nowhere
- Just as Poppet tells her that Arien needs her upstairs as Niko and Sky both "sort of broke in" to her mother's chest, she notices that she's been crying and transforms into the young Deity often trapped within the tiny figure of the fox
- The Deity (formally known as Erytheia) asks what's wrong but catches on easily when Cyra's head feathers flatten against her head at Raven and Aesara's laughter
- She stands up to open the door but Cyra tells her to stop as "Aesara's happy with Raven, so just leave them be"
- Erytheia gives her a hug and tells her this;
"You'll find your Princess one day, poppet. She'll be just what you imagined and more, and she'll be worth the wait, forever and always. You've just got to hold on for her, okay? She can't love you if you lock yourself away, and she certainly can't love you if you're not around anymore, for she won't know you had existed."
- Cyra gives her an excuse like "How could anyone love someone like myself, though? I barely tolerate my own existence" which makes Erytheia laugh and tell her;
"Well, there has to be something to love about you, for I've seen her and she loves you, perhaps more than you ever would be able to with yourself."
- Cyra heads inside soon after, disbelieving everything that Erytheia told her as something to make her feel better even though she hopes it's true, and goes upstairs up to her father
