-
Cynthia is a beautiful but cold, young luminary. Though she is no child of beauty, the daughter of Maleficent possesses sharp features, accentuating the beauty she possesses. The dark haired girl is never seen with makeup nor does she go over the top when it comes to her appearance. Cynthia is most often seen with her hair down, falling over her shoulder. Her straight dark hair is known to reach mid-back length. She stands at a height of 5’7” and weighs around 125 pounds. Her eyebrows are dark and elegantly shaped. Other than that, her eyebrows along with other facial expressions play a huge part in her moods. In accordance with her sharp features, her nose and eyes are perhaps the sharpest that clearly stands out.
A tiny pair of rosy but full lips sit under a straight but small nose; her small, pierced ears hide behind the voluminous thick hair of hers. The girl’s eyes however, are her most striking feature: they're dark-blue irises that rest in her almond shaped eyes. Cynthia’s figure is flat out slim. She has some muscles throughout her body, but one would overlook it given her lithe frame. The expression that’s most commonly upon her face is a disinterested and dismissive one, with underlying hints of spite. Her lips are often pursed into a thin line which quickly then morphs into a scowl; unfortunately, it is one of her most common expressions she chooses to hold. The teenager has never been one for flashy or bright clothes, preferring dark colored clothes - a comfortable attire. Wearing revealing clothing and “flaunting” body parts, is something she doesn't like to do at all. Other than that, the sixteen year old’s choice in fashion usually represents whatever she’s in the mood for.
02 — Personality
Cynthia is a complex character marked by contradictions. On one hand, she is confident, ambitious, fiercely independent, and has a sharp sense of humor. She is adventurous, intelligent, determined, and displays a strong loyalty to her friends, often willing to break rules for their happiness or dreams. Cynthia is also protective, even to the point of risking collateral damage to achieve her goals or protect her loved ones.
However, beneath her tough exterior, Cynthia harbors insecurities stemming from a challenging childhood and a lack of validation from her father, leading to feelings of bitterness and resentment from everyone alike. These insecurities manifest in a cynical worldview, trust issues, and a tendency to bottle up her feelings. Her emotions and anger tend to get the best of her at times, nor does she take lightly being attatched to stereotypes. Although she struggles to make friends being a longer and can be quick to judge, Cynthia is also capable of introspection, taking responsibility for her actions, and offering forgiveness and second chances to those who show genuine remorse, depending on the severity of their actions.

03 — Background
The beginning . . .
Elias Adelram, a Massachusetts native and child of esteemed scientists, pursued a career in astronomy inspired by his family's background. Excelling in his studies, he aimed to work for NASA, achieving a master's degree from Cornell and progressing into a PhD program. His dedication and research in physics and astronomy, coupled with part-time work at a research facility, built a solid foundation for his career. His efforts led to an opportunity at NASA, where he gradually advanced to more significant projects. During his time at NASA, Elias collaborated with a disguised epic on a project, eventually falling in love with x. Unexpectedly and with reluctance, Elias became the sole guardian of his daughter, navigating the challenges of parenthood alone. He soon became resentful, spiteful, and bitter because of his split attention.
Cynthia grew up in Fairbanks, Alaska, with the deep disconnected feeling of the void left by her father's preoccupation with work over parenting. Despite Elias's belief in balancing work and family, his increasing commitments left Cynthia to fend for herself, supported occasionally by neighbors and friends. This neglect fostered a sense of responsibility in Cynthia but also sowed seeds of bitterness towards her father. Throughout her childhood & earlier teenage years, Cynthia's character was molded by her challenging circumstances, swinging between acts of rebellion, acting out, and raising herself with the early developed independence that came with being self-reliant since she could ever remember. Arguments between Cynthia & her father became a routine, centered around his absence and her average school performance, deteriorating their relationship further. Elias's harsh words, including claims that Cynthia was a distraction and never meant to be born, deeply wounded her, leaving lasting mental health scars and a fractured father-daughter relationship. Cynthia sought refuge with friends during conflicts, distancing herself further from Elias, who remained unapologetic and disconnected, culminating in Cynthia's resolution to sever ties with him entirely.
It would be a year later that things would take a turn for the worse for the unclaimed luminary. Or for the better. On June 5, 2023 -- Cynthia decided to leave what was once her home, a place that she numbly resided in. With nothing to her name, she walked out of her house and tossed her pair of the house keys behind, as a testement to her resolve to leave it all behind her. Just as she did so, the unclaimed bumped into a young son of Aurora & Philip who transported her to Grimm Academy.
Grimm Academy
Coming to the academy in a total whirlwind, the unclaimed had taken more than a little while to become acustomed to the lifestyle & the world that was 'disney characters being real'. Believing it to be a mistake, and wishing to be taken back to Alaska, unfortunately there was no way to return back to the mortal world. And so her mundane life at grimm academy continued, residing in the confines of the unclaimed cottage for almost a year now.
Cynthia quickly develped a daily routine at the academy, making the most of her time as an unclaimed. Keeping herself busy and out of public eye was her ideal, and frankly something she enjoyed. Here and there she bumped into familiar faces, but for the most part ones that she wouldn't come back in contact with much later. Or at all really. Haven taken some sort of liking to the dragon pits, Cynthia often spends her time there with the adult dragons and the dragonets, observing them. The third time she was there, she was accompanied with a bag of meats. It was here where she finally got claimed by Maleficent, mistress of the moors, and bonded with a dragonet who manifested to be her familiar.
After her claiming, Cynthia and her familiar moved into the Aurora cottage and into Maleficent's quarters. It is spacious and ideal for Cynthia's aesthetics. There are a few aquaintences that she has come across with, one even to get revenge on for a particular petty use of magic...

04 — Abilities
-
Dark Fey [Passive] — Maleficent is a dark fey, able to perform magic. Her children, too, are able to do the same. Those descending from Maleficent are able to practice magic, which mostly consists of spell-casting. This magic takes different forms depending on what it is used for, much like how their own mother’s magic manifested in either gold or green - gold for good intentions, and green for evil intentions. Although this is an ability every child of Maleficent has, it can take months, even years to master this ability to its full potential.
-
Grow With Grace [Passive] — As a descendant of the Phoenix, Maleficent herself possesses immortality. Sadly, her children do not possess this same trait. However, descendants of Maleficent do not age like other children of the Epics. Instead, following their claiming, they possess a certain youthfulness to their looks, though do not necessarily cease to age until they reach maturity.
-
Descendant of Fey [Passive] — Within the Maleficent movies, Maleficent was shown to have the ability to heal herself. However, her only weakness was metal. Children of Maleficent possess this same accelerated healing and are able to heal themselves from any minor injury. However, these luminaries cannot heal themselves from any wound that was inflicted by a metal object. These wounds, more often than not, will leave behind scars once they have healed, and when they are wounded with such objects, the child will feel like they have been burnt.
-
Forest of Thorns [Common] — Although children of Maleficent are not able to manipulate briars to the extent of their mother, they are able to summon briars and control them to their will. Unlike the spawn of Aurora and Philip, children of Maleficent can control and manipulate these briars to their behest, regardless of the natural environment. These briars can be used for a variety of things, including forming a wall around themselves or to lash out at others.
-
Diaval [Common] — Although Diablo is better known as Diaval during the Maleficent movies, it is still a fact that Maleficent cared for him. Evident enough by her shock when he was turned into stone and when she expressed that she missed him during the ending of Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, not to mention her love for Aurora, Maleficent was not completely evil. Like their mother and children of the Witch, descendants of the Mistress of Evil are able to take on an animal familiar and can communicate telepathically with them.
-
Protector of the Moors [Rare] — Maleficent’s wings allowed her to quickly travel the Moors, and to protect the land. On rare occasions, her children inherit these same large wings, although they are not always black, like their mother’s. These wings are a part of them, and appear immediately following their claiming. With these wings, they are able to fly at incredible speeds and are even able to be used to generate air currents. These wings are more of a physical trait than an ability. However, if one is feeling particularly cruel, these wings can be removed with iron and separated from their owner, albeit temporarily.
05 — Relationships
(Ex) Father
Cynthia harbors deep-seated resentment towards her father, a man who has been lavished with praise throughout his life, making him oblivious to the struggles and efforts she has had to endure. Despite her hard work in academics, seizing opportunities, and participating in public events, she constantly finds herself overshadowed by her father's legacy, subjected to relentless comparisons by everyone around her. This dynamic reaches a peak when her father blames Cynthia for being a distraction, holds a bitter view towards her existence, regretting how her birth seemingly derailed his career and opportunities during his prime. This sentiment has poisoned their relationship, casting her as an unwanted reminder of the life and potential he believes he sacrificed.
In a cruel twist, her father actively undermines her chances at new opportunities back in the mortal world, insisting she remain tied down to assist with his endeavors, a spiteful act to ensure she experiences the same sense of lost opportunities he perceives himself to have suffered. This cycle of resentment and bitterness defines their relationship, with Cynthia painfully aware of the disparity between her father's celebrated past and her own thwarted aspirations.
Epic Parent
There isn't much to say at the moment. Cynthia is indifferent to her epic parent and feels that her claiming after a year is a waste. Being told by the future version of her familiar that Maleficent was too 'busy' to come in person is an understatement of the century.
Familiar
Upon Cynthia's third time in the dragon pits, it was here where she had bonded with this dragon. Upon her claiming, the dragonet manifested to be her familiar. [name] is protective and playful. The daughter of Maleficent adores the dragonet.
Accquaintence
The son of Facilier, and legacy of Lady Tremaine and the Fairy Godmother is a lil shit.
