Ceyla Westlake

Ceyla Westlake is a mage from Aturia, and is out to explore the surrounding lands of Ascanthus.

Biography
Born and raised in Aturia, Ceyla’s early life was relatively uneventful. Coming from a respected but not particularly famous line of mages, she initially knew practically nothing of the world outside of Aturia. For Ceyla, the very things that made her region wondrous and exotic to outsiders were still of value but nonetheless routine to her. As she gradually learned more about the other states through whatever she could read, however, “the grass is greener on the other side” soon began to apply to her as well, inspiring her to seek a change of pace by venturing to other parts of Ascanthus without any set goal in mind beyond the journey itself.

Toward this end, Ceyla chose to set out for Cantaras City, whose status as the largest city in all of Ascanthus first piqued her interest. As such, she had since concluded that Alexshire would serve as a suitable resting point.

Physical Appearance
Standing at 5’7” and weighing in at around 113 lbs., Ceyla could be said to be reasonably tall for a girl, her slender but healthy build displayed by measurements of B34”/W22”/H35”. Of a fair complexion, her eyes are a cool turquoise color. Distinguished by long, light brown hair that extends to her lower back, it’s styled so as to frame her face.

Her manner of dress somewhat elaborate, she wears a white, sleeveless gown that extends into a skirt that covers her outer thighs, yet stops a third of the way above her knees in the front and in the back. Underneath the gown, she wears a close-fitting, one-piece garment made of thin, royal blue leather that cuts off a fourth of the way above her knees, a view of the garment afforded through the collar of her gown and occasionally through the front or back of her skirt. On her arms, she wears detached sleeves of the same color and material as the one-piece garment that stop at her biceps, a pair of wrist-length, white leather gloves worn on her hands. Rounded out with a pair of ankle-length, white leather boots, her only accessory is a tan-colored, leather choker fastened with a silver buckle worn to the left of her neck.

Personality and Traits
Fairly even-tempered, Ceyla generally finds it easy to adjust to new social settings. Kindhearted, her regard for the welfare of others makes her well-suited to serving as a mediator for internal conflicts, or in the worst-case scenario, an attentive healer. However, her preoccupation with those around her can just as well lead to chiding a companion in the event the individual neglects to take proper care in respect to day-to-day activities. More likely to be incensed rather than intimidated by direct threats, particularly ones made against those closest to her.

Combat Style
As one might expect of someone hailing from Aturia, Ceyla’s focus in battle centers on her abilities as a mage. Primarily specializing in holy magic, this usually involves displays such as conjuring eddies of light to engulf enemies, calling forth rays to burn through targets, or temporarily blinding foes with a flash. Other than this, she’s also capable of supporting allies with an acquired knowledge of healing magic.

While quite effective as a mage, Ceyla’s abilities in close-quarters combat leave something to be desired. Though having at least enough upper-body strength to make using her staff to bludgeon enemies feasible, she primarily relies upon kicks when resorting to melee.
