Character

"Our procession was halfway between Falcon's Nest and The Convictory when the accursed heretic vermin ambushed us, the primitivity of their weapons outdone only by the primitivity of their ideas. The bishop and his guards were prepared, and we all fought like tigers against the relentless numbers of the hated foe. Yet, they were an unending tide, about to break and swallow us. When all seemed lost, a brief glimmer rose on the horizon, and by the Fury, what a welcome sight it was. A single dragoon dived down on the heretics with a spiked halberd and slashed the heads off of a trio in the first second. Her armour was metallic black, with a battle-skirt and a long tabard involved, which kept thrashing almost as wildly as the howling wounded of the enemy. Soon enough, a stray spell flung her visored helm off, which the knight underneath took with a silent scowl, revealing a porcelain face of sharp and noble features, adorned by a set of plump ruby lips and steel-blue eyes of ruthless determination. Yet, even in the heat of battle, when beset by a dozen foes, there was a cold and stoic calm on the dragoon, one that doubtlessly put more fear into the hearts of the wretched dogs than any war cry could have. Her tall and lithe form bolted across the battlefield with deceptive speed and precise strikes, and before we could blink twice, the battle was already over, the last accord being the sickening crunch of a heretic throat crushed underneath her boot."

                          Inquisitor Thierry Dubois, disclosing the events of a night like many others amidst the turmoil of the Dragonsong War.

Tendencies

Dislikes

• Despite recent events, she yet remains wary of dragons of any kind. Having been taught and raised to show them no less than hatred her entire life, this is something that will take time to change. If ever.
• Those that would diminish and/or insult the gods. Particularly Halone, whom she worships faithfully.

Strengths

• She shows great promise with the arms of a Dragoon; Lances and halberds. She does not quite yet wield these weapons of war with perfection, but she is determined to get there.
• Her devoted loyalty to those she holds dear. Her nation included.
• Cecile is of a courageous nature, she'll be hard pressed to flee when trouble is afoot. Lest it be for tactical reasons.

Weaknesses

• Competently mingling with fellow Ishgardian nobles; This is an art she never quite mastered, and she doubts she ever will. She feels much more comfortable and at home with fellow soldiers. No matter their social class.
• Scholarly pursuits, particularly those magical in nature. Whilst she has a decent grasp on how to wield the aether for martial purpose, magic is yet something that eludes her understanding.
• At times, she has been known to be stubborn and reckless.
• Cecile has an immense fear of large bodies of water where she lacks footing. Originating from a traumatic event she went through during childhood, where she very nearly drowned. As a result, she never was able to learn how to swim.

Relationships

Family

• Ser Michael Callaway, cousin on her father's side. Ser Callaway is the owner of Callaway Holdings and a Knight of some renown from the Holy See.

Friends

• Comrades among the Order of the Knights Dragoon.
• Her Griffin, Foudre. She considers the beast a remarkably loyal companion and an invaluable asset when facing enormous foes.

Enemies

• Any and all that would see harm brought upon Ishgard and its regions. She is a patriot, for good or ill. Pledged to its defence till her final breath be drawn.
• The Garlean Empire and its never-ceasing desire for expansion.
