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.
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 magic, 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 "Withdrawn" works, too.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, with ice-related attacks and weaponized sound being the current targets of her interest. Due to her semi-random experimentation, Cyril is unable to produce the kind of straightforward attacks with the kind of damage potential that many more specialized combat mages can use, but she is still a major threat due to the varied nature of her available powers.
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.
Equipment
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.
