Character
Syrress Detilderan is a Midlander Hyur from Gridania. She spends most of her free time in study when time permits, and can often be seen at Apkallu Falls when returning to Gridania to visit her father or seek council. After nearly a cycle as a member of the Phoenix Rose, where she offered her healing services to the Free Company and ran the clinic, recent events have forced her to flee the Goblet, out of safety and concern for herself, as well as for her friends that she was forced to leave behind.

Personality
Syrress is a compassionate individual, with a strong will and equally strong desire to help those in need. She is generally very approachable, always greeting strangers and friends alike with a warm smile and pleasant demeanor. Despite her strong beliefs in the divine Twelve, she is very open and accepting of most, despite their sharing her faith and ideals, regardless of what they might be. She does have a tendency to shy up when in the company of large groups, retreating to silence, though listening intently to all around her.
Combat
Melee: Syrress has no formal training in physical combatives, knowing little more than how to swing her stave should the need arise. There was a time in her past where she had hoped to learn the use of sword and shield, though those desires faded away, along with the one whom was to teach her.
Ranged: No formal training in the use of ranged devices, be it bow and arrow or any other form of projectile firing weapon. Her only experience with such a weapon resulted in an accidental discharge of a crudely crafted firearm one eve while staying at the inn in Limsa Lominsa. Damage to the wall was payed for in full.
Magic: Syrress has a strong affinity for white magic and aether manipulation pertaining to arcanic magic and healing. She has studied the art of conjureing since her seventh name day in Gridania, and continued to do so on a daily basis until her eighteenth name day, though to this day she frequently makes return trips to her home in Gridania to seek the wisdom and counsel of E-Sumi-Yan, head of the Conjurer's Guild, when ever the chance presents itself. She began her scholarly studies shortly after her twentieth name day, and continues to hone and practices her skills in this art to this day.
Tendencies
Likes

Religious Beliefs & Philosophy
- Syrress is a devout follower of the Twelve, and favors the teachings of Thaliak, the Scholar. She still firmly believes in the twelve benevolent deities of Eorzea, despite their decline in popularity among the population. She is an avid scholar and reader of any and all scriptures she can find having anything to do with the Twelve. Though a devout believer and follower, she is not one to push her beliefs on others, or judge those whom do not share the same ideals and beliefs as she. A prior student of the Seedseer, E-Sumi-Yan, leader of the Conjurer's Guild, she has learned much from her mentor and his siblings, mostly from Kan-E-Senna, the spiritual leader of her city state, and has the utmost faith and confidence in her wisdom and teachings.
Fears
- Failing those she cares for
- Again, anything possessing more than six legs
- The thought of dying old and alone disturbs her greatly, despite having developed close bonds with others through out her life
Flaws
- Very weak when it comes to physical confrontations, perhaps relying a bit too heavily on her aetheric training.
- Has a hard time admitting when she is wrong, convinced that this be a seldom occurrence when pertaining to subjects and topics she feels rather well versed in.
- Her accepting and trusting nature has resulted in her being lied to as well as betrayed,and her generosity has opened the door on a few occasions to be taken advantage of.
- Despite her many cycles at the Conjurer's Guild, Syrress has yet to fully grasp the offensive skills and practices associated with white magic. Her studies and training have always been so intent on healing and mastering the art, that simple tasks, like taking control of elements such as earth, water, and air are something she must focus intently on to succeed at. To this day, she has only successfully cast the powerful spell, Holy, on one occasion, and she firmly believes that the only reason she was successful was due to the severe and immediate threat that faced her and her companions.

Friends
Beasley: Her Chocobo, and most frequent companion for the past 5 cycles. When travelling outside the city-states, he is most likely to always be at her side
E-Sumi-Yan: Mostly a mentor in her studies, she does consider the Padjal a friend, greatly admiring his knowledge and wisdom
Angora Khilo: Angora is perhaps the one she has grown closest to during her time at the Phoenix Rose. She's cared for the young Miqo'te a great deal due to sustained injuries, and over time has grown close enough with her to consider her a true friend. They've spent many a night in her office speaking of personal matters and hopes for things to come. The recent loss of two of the Rose's members has been devastating, prompting that much more desire to help keep her friend safe.
