Cecilie Aster
Crystal Datacenter — Balmung• Studium Researcher
• Expert in the Aetherophysiological and Anatomic Sciences
• Somanouticist (Sage)
• Not Really an Adventurer
• Also Known As "Cici"Cecilie Aster is a native daughter of Sharlayan from a family of scholars, a former wunderkind now in her stride, a skeptic of adventurers, and a devoted researcher. A dedicated student from a young age (some might describe her as a nerd), Cecilie specializes in the field of health and healing, particularly treatments meant to avoid aether sickness.Among the Studium, Cecilie is known for her professional, occasionally anxious, and often meek personality. A few might mention her determination in asserting her expertise and an unwillingness to tolerate fools. Like many academics, she's confident in her knowledge and the work she's produced, but folds quickly when confronted with a superior.Short and especially overweight, Cecilie occasionally struggles under the label of "cute". Beyond ner natural curiosity, her work as a researcher is undoubtedly connected to a desire to prove herself among her peers and to her superiors.Cecilie can easily be described as (figuratively) soft. After striking out into the wider world, Cecilie's dislike of violence and appreciation for comfort has held strong. Still, mistaking her for lazy or disinterested in helping others would be a mistake. She's driven by a hunger for knowledge and a desire to improve the world around her, though she's hard-pressed to want to fight.

Hooks
• A Sharlayan researcher: Cecilie finds herself in far-flung, whether she likes it or not. Specializing in healing practices and alchemy, she studies the practices of different cultures. She's very interested in talking with different kinds of people, especially experts from other societies.• A doctor: While Cecilie often notes she's "not that kind of doctor", she is nonetheless a talented physician with a focus on therapies to treat and prevent aether sickness. With her research background, she is skilled with diagnosing rare ailments and identifying treatments.• Often needs a guard: Talented sage or not, Cecilie is a small, meek thing and generally afraid of violence. When forced to go out into the field, she rarely does so alone.• Shy but friendly: Despite her anxious (some might say "neurotic") nature, Cecilie is very friendly and eager to learn about others. She's just plain nice and gets along with most people who aren't immediately objectionable!
