A former child prodigy, Cynn always had people catering to her every whim. Her family was among the nobility in the city of Surmia—until the Charr invasion and the Searing. When Ascalon was destroyed, Cynn got caught outside the Wall (Surmia was one of the first places to fall during the initial assault). A magical projectile fell directly upon her palatial home, killing her parents and trapping her under a broken table for several days. A Charr warband discovered her while looting the city. They dug her out, thinking to make a meal of her, but Cynn had other ideas. She single-handedly wiped out the entire warband, turning them and the remains of her home into little more than a smoldering pile of ash.

Cynn is a bit of a princess but with a decidedly dark streak. She's often cynical and flippant when dealing with authorities or situations that seem hopeless. She's highly intelligent, and magic comes easy to her. Because of her experiences during the Searing, Cynn has developed a rather cavalier attitude toward her own death. Consequently, she tends to bite off more than she can chew, and often gets herself and her friends into trouble.

[edit] Dialogue

[edit] Prophecies

Towns and outposts:

"I'm not going to lie, the stories you've heard about me are true. If you don't think I can take care of myself, just ask the Charr warband who tried to sack my home. Oh, what's that? They didn't live long enough to be asked. Guess that answers your question. Just see to it that you don't get in my way, and we'll get along just fine."

Pre-Searing Ascalon:

  • 'Everyone's talking about Ascalon City, but I like Surmia better.
    I can't be bothered right now. I'm waiting for my father.
  • 'I'm not in the mood to chat, so scram!
    If you see Captain Devona tell her... oh, never mind.
    What do I look like, the town herald? I'm busy.

Pockmark Flats:

Leave it to the Ascalon Guard, and it'll get left undone.

The Deserters: This isn't the best time to start a conversation. (bubble)

Lion's Gate:

"It's a good thing Mhenlo is back here in Tyria, where I can keep an eye on him! We lost many of our closest friends in Ascalon during the war with the Charr, and even more when we helped the refugees cross over the Shiverpeaks to settle in North Kryta Province. After everything we've been through, I'm not about to let some rotting corpses screw everything up!"

North Kryta Province: These White Mantle characters are nothing but ursurpers. The Royal Familiy of Kryta are the rightful rulers here. (bubble)

Skyward Reach:

"This isn't the best time to start a conversation."

Droknar's Forge (explorable area):

We did some good burning together, didn't we?

[edit] Factions

Kaineng City towns and outposts:

"What is it with this place? Every female around here seems to know Mhenlo...personally. Well, he better hope none of his little "friends" upset me too much, sometimes my spells miss...."

Echovald Forest town and outposts:

"I should ask Mhenlo if he has any "old acquaintances" among the Kurzicks.
What do you want?"

Raisu Palace (mission):

"We haven't seen this kind of trouble since the Fire Island chain."

Divine Path:

"I can't wait to return to the northlands. Mhenlo doesn't have quite as many "friends" there."

[edit] Nightfall

Towns and outposts:

"These Elonian Elementalists drive me crazy with their babble of peace. I learned better in Surmia, when the Charr came. Magic isn't something you hide and save like a secret. It's something to share... one fireball at a time."

Throne of Secrets:

"Good job, hero! I heard the Elders are planning a statue of you in Kamadan!"

[edit] Eye of the North

The Norn Fighting Tournament

I let you off easy. I'm saving my rage for someone else!

Far Shiverpeaks towns and outposts:

"Can you believe these Norn? I swear, some days I can't decide if they're the best allies we have... or the best tinder."

Charr Homelands towns and outposts:

"Here's an interesting Charr fact: though they like to play with fire, fur still burns."

Tarnished Coast towns and outposts:

"The Asura know what it's like to be displaced from their homeland. I say we help them. Why are you looking at me like that? I have a heart! I just don't always listen to it."

Central Transfer Chamber:

"I promise I'll be careful. I'm thinking long-term, here. If I don't blow anything up now, there will be more to blow up later."

Epilogue:

"Mhenlo is so sweet, isn't he? Makes me think he's covering for something. I keep remembering a time in Kaineng when we ran into his old "acquaintances." TWIN acquaintances. Just thinking about that makes me want to burn something."

[edit] Quotes

Shiverpeak Mountains:

"If you take away all the snow and the angry Dwarves, the Shiverpeaks might actually be a nice place to visit."
"The Stone Summit sure have a way of showing their hospitality."

Ring of Fire Islands:

"Kind of reminds me of Surmia... after the Searing."
"Looks like someone already beat me to the burn."
"Nothing like a scowling face made out of pumice to make you feel right at home."
"There's ash on everything, and now it's in my hair!"

[edit] Factions

Kaineng City:

"Is there a reason for all of this waiting, or are you just trying to make me angry?"
"It's best not to keep me waiting."
"It's not a good idea to let me get bored, just ask Mhenlo."

Echovald Forest:

"It is so quiet and eerie. No wonder Eve likes it here so much."
"It's nice to look up every once in a while. You never know what you might be missing."
"These trees won't burn. I tried."

[edit] Nightfall

"I don't have a bad attitude. I have an attention span problem. Luckily, most of my fights are short. Very short."
"I like Devona. She always lets me have the best violence."
"Mhenlo? He means well. But he just doesn't have the heart to really hurt people. Me, on the other hand..."
"Stupidity in battle is rewarded by two things: pain, and then, no pain."
"We're not in Ascalon any more."
"What's power for, if a girl can't have a little fun with it?"

[edit] Eye of the North

"I love Elona. It's so deliciously hot there. Although I did feel a tad overdressed..."
"Mhenlo wanted us to heat things up. Funny. Usually I'm the one fanning the flames."
"There were no children left after the Searing. They either grew up fast, or they didn't grow up at all."
"When are we going to find more Charr? My feet are getting cold."
"Why does every man run away screaming? Oh, right."

[edit] Nightfall

"Battle is a game. Shall I teach you?"
"Catch!"
"Fire from the sky!"
"First the spark and then the flame!"
"I bring you pain!"
"I should have worn black. Then the ash wouldn't show."
"I wouldn't wish you on my worst enemy. Hey..."
"I've seen your future. It's very short!"

"This is all you've got?"
"This is definitely going to hurt you more than me."

[edit] Eye of the North

"Do you smell that?"
"Everything burns. Trust me."
"Go ahead. Run around. Just makes the flames burn hotter."
"Here's a hot little trick I learned at the academy."
"Here's a little something I call "pain.""
"Hot foot, hot head, hot torso. It's all the same to me."
"If you think it's bad now, wait until you're on fire!"
"If you're cold, I can help!"
"It's about to get steamy."
"It's too cold here. Let's heat things up."
"Look at them burn. Warms my heart... and my hands."
"The next person to call me "hot lips" gets scorched."
"Yes, I have a fiery personality. Like I've never heard that before..."
"You burn, you learn!"

[edit] Trivia

  • Cynn is one of only five (the other four being Devona, Aidan, Eve and Mhenlo) characters to appear in all 3 campaigns and the expansion.
  • The quote "The next person to call me "hot lips" gets scorched." is a very likely reference to the t.v. show M*A*S*H
