She enjoys simple things and does not want for the material or the indulgent.

About

'I shall grant you Absolution, paid and repaid in blood.'

history

From an early age, Cygne exhibited a rare combination of pious devotion and a fierce determination to root out evil. Orphaned by the Plague of Beasts, she was taken in by the Healing Church and raised within the sacred walls of the Cathedral Ward. There, she was taught the doctrines of the Church and trained in the art of healing and faith.

Cygne's devout nature made her an ideal candidate for the convent, where she took her vows and donned the habit.

By day, she continued her duties as a healer and caretaker within the Cathedral Ward, her gentle demeanor a stark contrast to the terror she unleashed by night. Clad in armor beneath her habit and wielding a fearsome scythe, Cygne hunted the Vilebloods and other abominations with a relentless zeal.

Sister Cygne's dual life became a whispered legend among the faithful and the feared. To the pious, she was a symbol of the Church's mercy and compassion.
