II. PERSONA
Sia has a caring and compassionate heart filled with the need to help those less fortunate. This manifesting most often in her willingness and patience to help the work of others; from helping them with their research and reports all the way to sparring with those she worked with in Sanbreque.
Unlike most of the Undying she believes she had a responsibility to embody the nature of the Phoenix.Encuraged by her not suffering the curse and the sense of porpouse she found in working towards ensuring the flames of her phoenix remain bright and joyful forever.
This manifested most often as a forgiving and gentle nature to those around her. comforting and reassuring those she worked with in Sanbreque and offering a choice to anyone she saw potential in to serve her phoenix, no matter how missguided they were.
She has a hard time trusting others until she understands their nature in full and knows them to be trusthworthy and competent in keeping her trust. Trusting bearers comes significantly easier to her as she sympathizes with them.
In contrast to her behavior towards those she values she will gladly manipulate or harm others if it serves the interest of the Phoenix in the long term and there is no way to avoid cause suffering in pursuit of those interests. Pitying their choice to experience suffering and pain instead of listening to the flame within them and cooperating with her.

III. BACKGROUND
One to two paragraphs to describe their occupation and/or fighting style.
Thanks to the Undying training her as an assassin she learned to be profficent with a dagger.
She learned to use one-handed swords as well but she is not quite as skilled with them as she neglected maintaining her skill in favor of using her flames to solve any situation where a concealed dagger was not enough.
she explored many old ruins throught Rosaria and Sanbreque in search of manuscripts and relics to satisfly her coriosity about Eikons and the phoenix before leading an effort to infiltrate the Holy empire of Sanbreque in order to ensure they would favor any sort of cooperation Rosaria proposed. After which she Returned to Rosalith where the time she didn't spend on ensure Joshua and Clive's well being, was spent on researching the blight and exploring the northern territories as part of her research.
Her Fighting style involves a great deal of magic and the more Aether she uses the more taxing fighting becomes on her health in the short term due to her subcouncously casting *cure* throught her body and as a result not being effected by the curse, because of this she focuses on leveraging her agility to evade strikes if she can to conserve her strenght for offensive magic.
Her magic cosists of:
-fire,other non-lethal use of fire magic(She has great controll over this part of her magic as she used this most often. Ranging from simple things like reading by her flames and lighting her surroundings while traveling at night, using it to disarm inexperienced soldiers and bandits by casting fire precisely at their hands to make them drop their weapons. All the way to using it to present herself as more capable than she accually was, most often by conjuring in truth harmless orbs of fire that simply looked identical to more lethal spells.)
-cure(she is unaware of the fact she is capable of casting it and heal others.)
-fira(She has less controll over it as she didn't use it as much as fire, since it causes her discomfort even after casting a limited number what she doesn't like experiencing.
-Precise casting of barriers(She has great precision with her defensive magic even for the pain practicing it cost her as her teqnique requires a lot of Aether use in a short time what is especially draining on her health. )
-Firaga(With a crystal she is in theory able to cast it safely as far as she believes, otherwise she avoids the idea of casting it or anything what requires similar amount of Aether use since casting it requires her to bear great pain. Causing her to loose her ability to pay attention to her surroundings and defend herself until she recovers from it. even if she used no magic beforehand. )

IV. HISTORY
Five paragraphs minimum for history.
Born into the land of Valisthe 25 years before Phoenix gate in a small town to an ordinary family. Her childhood would be troubled by the secret she kept from those around her except her mother who witnessed the moment she awakened as a bearer a few weeks after her birth. Concealing it from everyone else, including Sia's father who hated those who could use magic for reasons Sia would never come to know.
At first her childhood was like any other's. Until she came to see for herself what her mother talked about when she explained what Sia was. One night after her 13th birthday as she awoke from a nightmare she saw the flames in her hand...her flames which faded as her panic did once she realized she was safe. After that night she would not only need to explain away why she took an interest in Eikons and magic suddenly to her father, but why was she spending so much time alone. The answer to both of these questions was the Phoenix. She found a kind of comfort in it. Both in her dreams and in guiding her every day, granting her confidence in standing up for herself when it was necessary.
On Her 17th birthday the life she knew would come to an end as she felt herself obligated to break up a fight between her father and a hooded figure who was peacefully writing a letter. She knew not why her father picked a fight in the Inn they planned to stay at for the night with such a peaceful soul, but then again he was not one to think much to begin with.For all she knew the color of the person’s hood annoyed him. Seeing the figure clearly start to lose made Sia realize she needed to interween lest her father tries to take a life be it by choice or accident. Not because she cared about the person beneath the hood or because her father ment enough to her to keep him from doing such an act, but because it was wrong to take his life and surely the Phoenix would agree its flames be used to protect the innocent. Even with the consequences it might. “In the name of the Phoenix you will stop this at once.” These words she spoke would change her life forever. And drastically changed Ariandel’s week from his usual duties to the Undying from what he usually did to sending a letter to Rosalith detailing what had taken place,besides his usual report.
Not a week from that day passed and she was in Rosalith.Taking the opportunity offered to her by Ariandel. At first the idea was met with some concern from the senior members,but she was already here,knew of the Undying and Ariandel said he would take responsibility for her. Ariandel was granted the chance to train her. Sia was granted a chance to do what she wished and she would soon prove to be devoted in every sense of the word. She would often be found fallen asleep in the midst of reading one of many books the Undying had access to. At first her quarters would remain empty for a while as she would sleep very little. Excited and full of joy as this was everithing she wished for. For the first time she felt like she and her flames were valued. Devoting herself to her training with Ariandel she became a member of the Undying in just 2 years of time.
With her training finished Ariandel had hoped she would at least take a break before she began her work. She however felt perfectly well and began immediately. She spent most of her time investigating fallen ruins others believed too dangerous to explore, be it because of the fallen guarding them or nearby bandits. Bringing Ariandel along to prove him that she would be fine. Later go alone to search for artifacts and manuscripts in both Rosaria and Sanbreque to satisfly her thirst for knowledge about Eikons and the phoenix.
Once she began experimenting with her flame's limits she strangely found it like she was not being effected by the curse. Instead as she found out thanks to the pain she experienced from casting Firaga. The cost seemed to be her short term well being for channeling too much aether at once. What manifesed rapidly once she reached a point what was too much. Not wishing to experience that again she Experimenting with crystals to limit the amount of Aether she was using while casting.
For the first time, much to Ariandel’s surprise Sia seemed to take a break and remain in Rosalith. However to Sia it was not. She had found her purpose: Ensure Clive and Joshua never feel sorrow or pain as long as she lives. And help the Undying in the meanwhile as she was a memeber by proof reading reports or helping Rosarian soldiers here and there with training.
The problem free and happy life Joshua and Clive seemed to live was something that brioght her great comfort and...even if she could never live such a happy life.
And it was for that reasion she proposed a plan to the Undying what involved sending her and Ariandel to Sanbreque to ensure the Undying were aware of the emperor's political intentions by covertly convincing those who might be preview to such information.
At first it seemed like an impossible task, but slowly with patience they found a few they could rely on to be their ears and eyes without revealing their affiliation to Rosaria.
Part of her became rather fond of figuring out what might make someone loyal to her or simply themself instead of Sanbreque be it wealth,personal success,care for their family and loved ones,or their morality. Her methods would surprisingly often simply exploit the fact they were at the end of the day selfish and contrast to her not bearers.To her it mattered little what method she used as it was nescessary to perform her duty to the Phoenix.
It took nearly 2 years to finish their work during wich she had gathered around herself quite a few who were aiding her plan. Either out of conviction in what her plan might bring once it was complete for Sanbreque and Rosaria,out of the feeling of porpuse she gave to those who had none before or simly for the pay she offered for such little work they had to do for a stranger. After which Sia took it upon herself to convince an astrologer on the fact The founder and Greagor wished for the two nations to prosper together. She could not exactly verify the product of her work directly, but being appointed to be present at the rememberence ceremony was more than enough proof for her.
At the rememberence ceremony things went better than she expected. Clive didn't feel the need to stand next to his brother all the time,Joshua and Dion seemed to get along well as far as she could tell. It brought her much needed comfort to know all was well finally and she could return to Rosalith.
She spent much of her time in Rosalith, Witnessing how much Clive's skills improved, to her surprise seeing the same joy of life from Jill she saw in Clive and Joshua. Her research into the Blight would see her explore the notheern territories.
Returning to Rosalith just in time to watch Clive finally win against Murdoch.
Once at Phonix gate she would fall asleep as she needed her strenght for the days to come.
That Night as well deserved sleep took her. She dreamt of herself, standing in the courtyard as she held what she believed to be a feather of the Phoenix. Standing up she would turning her head to looking upon the Eikon of the Phoenix and for but a split moment she felt valued...then it ended,but for that fleeting moment she felt truly content,happy,the phoenix was proud of her in that moment.
Instead of waking up in the morning and taking time to contemplate what was it she just dreamed about before talking to Clive finally. She awoke from her dream of the Phoenix to the sound of a Sanbreque soldier demanding to know where Joshua was.
Fighting her way through what Sanbreque soldiers she encountered she ran into a Rosarian soldier by the name of Alexander. Their search for Clive and Joshua would be quickly interrupted by a dragoon. Defeating them took much of Sia's strenght as she had no crystal and she was not exactly prepared to fight a dragoon that night. the biggest dissadvantage was not being unprepared or the liability Alexander was during the fight,but the ringing in her ears. What only intensified once the dragoon was defeated.
Exhausted she could do little to influence the two Eikons as she witnessed what was happening. beyond conjuring the feather from her dream and continuing to channel her flames to it in hope her dream was the guidance of the Phoenix and not simply her wish to fight alongside the Phoenix. And it would somehow help Joshua. Sending Alexander to find the lord commander.
Seeing the 2 Eikons reemerge, as the phoneix seemingly ended the fight she realized, What she felt in her dream. That beautiful moment was her being proud of Joshua as he seemed to be in controll of the Phoenix.
The happiest moment of her life soon became her worst as she watched the Phoenix die. She prayed to both The Founder and Greagor to not let him die...To wake her from this nightmare. She would recieve no answer from them and would continue channeling her either into the feather she conjured until she couldn't bear the pain of her loss anymore and gave into ethernal rest.

Rosalith the capital of Rosaria. As she walked towards the castle with a young soldier by her side wo she took interest in due to his sense of duty. Reading the report she wrote on her findings in the northern territories and the blight as the pair walked through the city towards the castle. Noticing the soldier looking over in an attempt to read it she didn't bother with hiding it from his corious mind as would random letters without knowing the keyword required to understanding it, and even than reading it on the fly would be challenging without practice. His coriosity was understandable considering the bandits they encountered 2 days prior as he proved to be rather corious about her nature after that.
"I'm listening if you have words for me Alexander." She said politely to alert him to the reality that she was aware of him trying to read it.
Once she was done she handed it over to him so he could examine it as much as he wished. His face would soon be host to a great number of emotions she enjoyed noticing. He wanted to know.
Reaching the training grounds he handed it back to her without saying a word. Looking at the report in his hand she turned to him before reaching for the report but stopping her hand before grabbing it. "You need not think yourself a failiure for not understanding such a complex way of keeping secrets from prying eyes. Your talents lie elsewhere." She reassured him as she knew very well he was dissapointed in himself for not finding out how to read it.
Taking the report from his hand she started walking off,letting him return to his usuall duties, but she looked back toward him to say one last thing. "If you have the patience to learn it,find me after Clive and the lord commander finished training. You will understand it by nightfall."
Once the two parted ways She made her way over to Ariander. Allready predicting his words about how clive will loose again. Walking up the stairs to the walkway which overlooked the training area she wondered why was he so negative about his swordsmanship when he was clearly a talented first shield...He was smarter than to think that. What was it than ? Looking over to him as she ascened the last steps she continued to ponder the question as she walked over to hand him the report.
"Here to see him loose again ?" After all this time he still found the words to make her blood boil. to test her resolve and self controll. She felt pity more than anything as she stood next to him, resting her hand on the railing once he began reading her report. Looked over the training ground in search of Clive and Rodney she pondered still on Ariander's lack of belief in Clive.
"If only you could see what i see Ariander. You would understand my faith in them." She explained. Perhaps he would understand once Clive wins finally. Or once she offers to train him further once Rodney looses to him finally. "Why i seek to guide and shield them all from pain and suffering. Help them have a life they deserve to live." She closed her eyes for but a few moments to imagine it. What the world she leaves might be like once her work is done: No wars,No Branded,A world where every life was as beautiful as theirs. It made her smile a little to know it was not impossible.
