Name: Cynis Falen Talia<br/>Aspect: Wood<br/>Concept: Unfortunate Cynis Dilettante<br/>Talia is well-known for...actually, not much of anything.  Like most of her house, her time tends to be spent unproductively.  She was originally married off to the young Ragara Latef, but the marriage was annulled for reasons few outside House Cynis care to speak of.<br/>Talia stands a few inches over five feet, and has an unfortunate habit of dropping jaws and breaking hearts whenever she looks at someone the wrong way (or the right way, depending largely on perspective).  Her hair is a rich chestnut brown, worn straight to slightly past her shoulders, and contrasting neatly with her light green skin.  Her eyes are a piercing emerald, set off to good effect by her necklace of intertwined red and green jade.  She usually prefers to dress in red and gold (and not much of it); she occasionally wears her reaper daiklave, Sunlit Field, strapped to her back.  (Whether she actually knows how to do more than look pretty with it is another question.)<br/>Cynis that she is, Talia is normally accompanied by a pair of slaves.  Her bodyguard, Swift Elk, is a broad-shouldered Southern man, clad (oddly enough) in armor of black jade inlaid with green, and carrying a matching grimcleaver.  Her maidservant, Tranquil Breeze, is a lovely young girl (although she pales next to her mistress) with long black hair, normally wearing only a simple white shift.
