Background
Cyril Alteridem is the daughter of Theo and Keiko Alteridem, and is Megan's twin sister. Beckett Alteridem is her older brother. Cyril grew up with her family in the Steel Canyon district, and while she lacked her father and siblings' Force of Will capabilities, Cyril began to show a great deal of talent for magic at an early age. This prompted Keiko to begin teaching her daughter the arcane arts, which made her a valuable fighter in the Rikti Invasion. Recently, Cyril aquired a pair of enchanted handguns named Eintracht and Unfriede, which have become her primary weapons.
Current Status
Her membership in the Alteridem Foundation is a given, but Cyril is also closely connected to MAGI and the Midnight Squad, and has ties to Vanguard, which she uses (some say abuses), to promote human/Traditionalist relations. Most often, Cyril is seen backing up Megan, Lorelei, and Beckett with her long-range attacks, and researching more manners of spellwork.
Personality
"Quiet" is a word that comes to mind when describing Cyril. "Withdrawn" works, too. Cyril doesn't talk much, but when she does speak up, it's usually to say something important. Even more than Lorelei Nachtigall, Cyril is antisocial, but she isn't mean about it the way Lorelei is. In social situations, Cyril is usually seen near her brother and sister, who she often relies on to do the talking.
Information is Cyril's main fixation, she seems to want to know everything there is, and as such, she spends a lot of time reading. Her desire for knowledge has led Cyril to experiment with a wide variety of magical arts, as well as learning a number of languages. Cyril's personal book collection grows constantly as she discovers more ancient tomes, modern technical manuals, biographies, or reference books.
Hats are Cyril's other obsession. She has a large and varied collection of hats, ranging from baseball caps to pirate hats, and she is almost always seen wearing one. The condition of these hats is a high priority for Cyril, so she usually puts protective enchantments on them to prevent damage. It's been said that stealing Cyril's hats is a very bad idea, but no one has tried so far, and so that claim remains unconfirmed.
Cyril Alteridem has another facet which is only seen by her family and closest friends, and that is her fondness for ironic and laconic humor.
Powers and Abilities
Cyril is a quick study with a highly analytical mind. Adding these to her innate magical talent gives Cyril the ability to quickly understand and implement multiple forms of spellwork. Because of this, Cyril is constantly experimenting with new forms of magic, though she has settled into a habit of using ice-related attacks. Most of Cyril's combat presence, however, is generated by her twin pistols, Eintracht and Unfriede. These pistols are semi-intelligent and capable of speech, although they are limited to fragments of German and English. In addition, Eintracht and Unfriede apparently never run out of ammunition, and are able to imbue their bullets with various unusual properties, such as making them toxic or causing them to arc in flight. Cyril backs up Eintracht and Unfriede with her ice magic.
In addition to her combat capabilities, Cyril is able to apply her magical talents to less violent spellwork, including an ability to locate spells and enchantments within a wide area, and a number of supernatural senses. She typically uses these forms of magic to improve her situational awareness.
Equipment
Eintracht and Unfriede
These fascinating objects are heavily enchanted, apparently quasi-sentient heavy pistols which Cyril has taken to using. They are capable of speaking German and English, though they are limited to single words and short sentence fragments, and have no apparent personalities. They normally speak only to confirm commands given to them by Cyril, such as changing the form of their ammunition, which is apparently infinite. The two are also capable of changing the coloration of their laser sights according to Cyril's will.
In addition to being Cyril's primary means of attack, Eintracht and Unfriede are the primary focus of Cyril's bottomless curiosity, and in fact her fascination with them was her original motivation for using them in combat. Cyril intends to find the upper limit of Eintracht and Unfriede's capabilities, as well as learning the functions and origins of their many enchantments.
Lorelei Nachtigall strongly dislikes and distrusts Eintracht and Unfriede, suspecting them of being much more intelligent than they seem, and of using sinister powers to influence Cyril for their own, malevolent reasons. There is no evidence to back this up, but due to the many unanswered questions surrounding the twin pistols, Cyril is unwilling to discount Lorelei's suspicions, and remains ever watchful for even subtle changes in her own behavior.
Other Items
As has been stated, Cyril owns a truly vast number of hats, and is virtually never seen without one on her head. Her only other noteworthy possession is her glasses, which, like her father's, are enchanted to stay on her face unless she willingly removes them.
