Her natural hair is a beige brown seen in her lashes. Call her pigtails childish and she’ll deck you. Her favorite colors are pink and orange. She like orange flavored things!

"Dividing the planes of reality, I claim one for my own." Spirit Realm Split: Cynthia's unique magic that can place objects in a separate plane that only she can access. It doesn't work like a game inventory system. Instead, the objects float around in her vicinity, invisible and untouchable to others. Number of objects that can be switched to the plane varies with size (10 small objects at most), and it can only stay there for 24 hours, with a cooldown of 1 hour. The bigger and longer the object stays, the more blot accumulates. It's unknown if this power can used on a person, but Cynthia's not against trying if she finds viable candidates.

More of her story and author’s notes under cut!

Backstory:

Cynthia grew up in the Shaftlands with only her mother. Neighbors to a decently wealthy family, Cynthia frequently spent time at their household while her mother went out to work. The neighbors, the Ordelia family, had two daughters. A girl named Adeline (who Cynthia calls Adelia), the younger of the two, was about to become Cynthia’s lifelong friend.

To help her mother and also be able to follow her dreams of entering the law field, Cynthia received Adelia’s help with her studies to try to get into the two most prestigious schools on Sage Island. Through Adelia’s crazily strict yet admittedly useful studying regime, she was able to proudly show off the two acceptance letters, a sign that she had truly worked as hard as she could.

Cynthia spent days mulling over which school she would enter. She even did a mandatory coin toss just in case she still hadn’t decided by the due date. Adelia wouldn’t say a single word on where she would go, but since Cynthia knew of Adelia’s competence, she believed Adelia would be able follow Cynthia, no matter which school she would choose.

Oh, so how tragic the betrayal is~! How traitorous for Adelia to abandon Cynthia and enter her school’s ultimate rival. The pain, the misery—

“Cynthia, stop being dramatic. Just because I could follow you never meant I would have. And didn’t you say being rivals was, quote, ‘actually pretty fun’ last week?”

A silky voice with an certain sharpness arrives from her phone. Cynthia laughs at the vivid annoyance she can imagine on her best friend’s face.

“Alright, fine! Sometimes it’s fun to complain for the sake of it, you know.”

“You’re not doing it for the sake of it, you’re doing it to annoy me—“

“Well, keep me updated on any NRC drama! Such as the one with your Dormleader… which is frankly cu-ray-zee!! A Spelldrive Tournament between our schools is coming up soon, apparently, so maybe we can meet up then. I’ll tell you what I’ve learned about overblots, and then you—“

“Oh my, class is about to start, I’ll talk to you later.”

“Wait, huh? I’m not done talkin—“

*Beeep*

A/N: It’s my daughter! Cynthia!! She’s actually from an OC story I made with my friend @kathxrat-01 called Your Artificial Image. We have an entire webnovel about it (in progress, we’re rewriting and editing it right now), and it’s what i used to be fixated on before i got into twst. But i missed her SOOOOOO BAD that i just. i just had to add her in. I MISS HER. I MISS HER AND HER TRAGEDY OF A STORY. I WANT TO BE FIXATED ON HER AGAIN UUUEUUEUUE but i like talking ab Kiyuu so idk man.

She’s so beloved to me actually!! I’ve made several edits of her bc i have enough art to edit her to some 4/4 beat music. Tmi, you don’t know what I’m talking about probably. THE POINT IS THAT I LOVE HER. Sometimes I forget that she’s actually smart though because she acts like someone who gets straight Bs and possibly Cs, but she’s a straight A student!! Say thanks to Adelia who taught her studying methods that actually suited her!!!

Her role in twst is. It’s mostly based around as a sort of helper to Adelia, who’s trying to piece together everything wrong with NRC (because justice. Cynthia just wants to know because she likes knowing things). Her best friend in RSA is Che’nya, who she just followed out of RSA for funsies and realized it was a good way to talk to Adelia and actually experience the weird NRC experience. Usually, though, most information comes from phone calls to each other, which they do nearly every day.

Below are some non-YAI spoiler doodles I drew of her. I do have some others but they have Adelia in it, so I can’t drop them just yet. IF U WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT YAI!! General gist is it has imaginary friend-like beings called spirits (what TWST!Cynthia’s unique magic is based on) and isekai/going back in time and it’s ALSO about going back home vs adapting here (like most otome isekais are). We have a tumblr blog called @dek0rin. So go check it out. (We haven’t rlly posted anything yet. BUT WE WILL.)
