Early Life

320 years ago a woman crawled to a healer sibbing and heavily pregnant. she couldn’t give her name or her age, the woman could hardly speak. all she could do was ask for help. when her child was born, the ones there screamed as the baby girl opened her eyes. a dead mother and a cursed infant.  

cyrah came into the world with horizontal pupils of a goat and nubs on her head where as the child grew, the ram horns would grow with her. a demon they called her, a monster, ‘shayatin’. they left the baby on the foot of a holy place, someone or something would take the baby and do what had to be done. but they probably didn’t expect it to be a vampire who took in the small girl. 

as soon as bayram knew what the baby was as soon as he saw her, a warlock just as his long love azadeh was. they took the child in, azadeh trained her in magic and the ways of warlocks and the rest of the downworld. they raised them as if she were their own child for 12 years before it all fell apart.

tales of the haunted home in the hills were common, everyone spoke rumors. no one ever had proof but the stories kept growing, the tales of the dead walking, of dangerous magics and more. people in a village near by stormed their home, surprising cyrah who was outside past the wards.

the attack was meant to kill the young warlock who had monsters marks, but azadeh stepped in. stopping the attack from killing the girl but too many people to fight off and keep a confused cyrah safe. sunlight tore bayram apart, his wife's dying magic shaking their house.

it was too close to dawn, he was fighting, cyrah was trying to fight as they held their mother, trying to heal her. the sun started rising and there was nothing for bayram to do, not if he wanted cyrah to live. the people who took her in, who raised her and taught her, had given their lives to save her from an angry mob.

for years cyrah went place to place avoiding mundanes and trying to master necromancy. they knew better, they knew that nothing could truly bring the person back but it didn't stop their deluded mind, the desire to have their parents back. a hatred for mundane's and the desire for the power over the dead brought them in contact with a demon. giving them a job in taking mundanes for whatever reason the demon desired.

it took almost 170 years for cyrah to get out of that darkness, out of the demons deal. their love for mundanes hadn't increased but their age brought more wisdom, how could they blame all of them for the fear of the few.

More

50 years ago cyrah found themselves in the capital, living among all types of downworlders and mundanes alike. the royal mundane's there knowing the truth about the world. something cyrah finds concerning.

twenty years ago cyrah was named high warlock of valanya, their power and loyalty to the downworlders making her a prime and powerful candidate. they enjoy their position and the power that comes with it.

they're still working on being more accepting of mundane but the death of her parents and the years of hiding after is something that stings even centuries later.

she's also still trying to make up for working with a demon but it's not something that's widely known about outside of the warlock community.

on her horns she puts jewelry and bands that show off her wealth.

will take in and find a home for any downworld child that needs help. one of her purposes is making sure children are safe, and younger downworlders facing this world for the first time.

they take their job very seriously, to her this is her life.

Wanted Connections

protegee/child figure: someone who's younger than her, a downworlder who they took in. if another warlock they'd be a protegee and child figure if it's another downworlder then just a child figure!

person who knows all their secrets/ride or die: this person would be an immortal who pulled them out of the demon's service and keeps cyrah on the path she's on, a good one.

past lovers: good terms, bad terms, on again off again types, fwb, all that stuff. cyrah is over 300 years old okay

friends/enemies/anything really give her anything!!
