Syr Cydonia
summary here
Appearance
Cyd holds the presence that many elves are known for - a willowy figure that moves with self-assured grace. The golden locks that frame her round face diffuse the sunlight in a warm way. Her ears are shorter than many other elves, though they still have the expected point to them. A spray of freckles across her cheeks interrupts her otherwise glowing complexion.
Skills and Abilities
Swordsmanship - While she has training in other forms of combat, she prefers a sword and shield.
Magic Catalyst - An anomaly of sorts, the magical energies that affect the world flow through Cydonia differently than others of her ilk. She has an almost bottomless well of mana, but an unknown condition prevents her from drawing upon the energy needed to cast magic herself. She can work neither spell nor enchantment on her own.
Instead, Cyd can transfer her mana to others, and bolster the spells and magical effects of her allies. She needs to be within shouting distance to do this, and it requires uninterrupted concentration. The deeper the personal connection she has with someone, the more of her magic she is able to give them. Complete strangers do not benefit much from her abilities.
A Little Guy - Cyd has what appears to be a pet baby dragon. Whether or not the creature in question is truly a juvenile dragon or merely a miniature subspecies is not known, even by Cyd herself. It can belch a bout of flame hot enough to ignite dry tinder, and anything as flammable as dry tinder.

Personality
More or less a model knight. Cydonia is accommodating and sociable, though whether this is because her powers rely on cooperation or whether she is a genuinely upbeat person, is not immediately clear.
Biography & Lore
Cydonia was raised in an elven settlement within the Valen Wilds. Her people are shepherds of the forests and friends to spirits. She was valued for her mana-sharing abilities, and lived a comfortable life for most of her young adulthood.
It was for love that she strayed away from her clan. She followed a Knight of Anathaeum through the woods out of curiosity one day, and found that she liked the view from Astenvale. Decades later, her beau is long gone, but she continues to carry out the will of the Order.
