Don't cry, *craft*!

Cindy is the niece of the town carver Goana.

Holding a special talent for mask making, she accidentally produced a mask so beautiful that it attracted a psychopomp from the graveyard, who through a deal became her eidolon. with her new occult powers her aunt asked her to enter the university to learn how to use her new powers for the good of the city. Cindy's personality is very happy-go-lucky, cheerleader-like. She believes in the best in everyone, and is very used to being liked and admired. She prefers teamwork and cooperation over anything. However, she is also curious about her psychopomp's history, and about the origin of her abilities. Where will her new environment, and most importantly, her new friend, lead her?

Cindy's mask-making talent aligns well with the concept of psychopomps, who often wear elaborate masks. Her creation resembled a psychopomp mask from a forgotten legend, unknowingly imbued with magic. Cindy's mask might have tapped into a dormant ley line connected to the Boneyard (??). This could explain the psychopomp's sudden arrival. Psychopomps are lawful creatures, so their bargain with Cindy likely involves a mutual benefit. Cindy will later carry a smaller, non-magical version of her psychopomp-attracting mask as a good luck charm.

• Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (Antithesis: Go It Alone, Everyone's Out for Themselves) (DO: Be Independent But Appreciate Collaboration). Cindy thrives on cooperation and believes everyone's strengths can benefit the whole. She actively seeks out opportunities to work together.
• A Smile is Contagious, Spread It Around! (Antithesis: Dwell on Negativity) (DO: Practice Emotional Regulation and Positivity). Cindy believes a positive attitude can uplift others and create a better atmosphere. She uses her cheerfulness to inspire those around her.
• No Necromancy! (Antithesis: Goes Against the Order of Life and Death) (DO: Punish Necromancy and Heal the Living). Cindy's connection to the psychopomp makes it unlikely that she will breach their most holy rules.

Cindy's pact with the psychopomp makes her their new mask maker prodigy. She is to learn more both about psychopomps, life and death, necromancy and magic in order to express and cater to the psychopomps needs. She is also required to practice her mask-making on a daily level. When she becomes good enough, she will be required to fulfil each request that reaches her, and thereby she will gradually become more and more connected with the graveyard and its magic.

Psychopomps can access fragments of souls they've guided. Cindy experiences these memories in dreams, giving her glimpses into the Boneyard or past lives. Despite her optimism, Cindy has started to grow intrigued about death and the afterlife, fueled by her connection to the psychopomp.

Gunnhildr (old norse meaning: war-war) is Cindy's eidolon. It is of small stature (yet at level 1) and is kind of like the dog version of the Thestral in Harry Potter. Cindy has given Gunnhildr a pink bow that peaks up over the top of her mask.
