The dark spheres that circle Syndra only appear when she is feeling anger, frustration or any other negative emotion. As often as that may be, they aren’t there all the time.
Syndra has a lot of trouble with emotional control. She doesn’t understand how to restrain herself and, these days, she doesn’t really try. She tried once and it led to a life of misery and being trapped in the dreaming pool for 60+ years. This leads to Syndra being easily irritable and aggressive.
Due to her neglect as a child, Syndra never really developed proper social skills. She becomes flustered easily in conversation which leads to dark spheres appearing. She has trouble expressing herself through words and, if she doesn’t cause some disaster, she’ll end up just going silent instead of trying. Communication is hard.
Syndra’s hair was originally jet black and her eyes were blue when she was a girl. Her eye color was abnormal and she would get teased for it as other children her age tended to have darker eyes. The blue was striking. Her brother would tell her that he had to make her cry so he could get all the water out of her eyes. When she could no longer control herself and her power erupted, her hair turned white in a flash. The blue in her eyes grew brighter and brighter until they glowed bright white. When Syndra isn’t doing anything inherently magical, her irises settle at a pale white color but when she gets upset or uses her power they tend to glow violet.
While Syndra’s magic mostly manifests in the form of the dark spheres, that isn’t the limit of her power. She has the ability to communicate with the very spirit of Ionia, but they aren’t on very good terms at the moment. Additionally, Syndra has telekinetic abilities, most of which came naturally. She can levitate, fly, manipulate objects and other people all with her mind. She can alter reality with the energy of her dark spheres in ways she doesn’t fully understand.
Syndra went into the dreaming pool when she was in her early twenties and was there for upwards of 60+ years making her technically around 100 years old give or take a few years.
Syndra is very skittish. She deals with major PTSD from not only the childhood trauma but having to relive it for years and years. Night terrors and sleep paralysis are frequent. She’ll wake up screaming with dark spheres crashing about some nights. Because of this, she has made it a habit to sleep as little as possible. After leaving the dreaming pool she didn’t sleep for 4 days straight.
Syndra doesn’t like Ionians but she isn’t hyper hostile toward them. She was the first few months after leaving the dreaming pool but she has calmed down since then. She won’t kill on sight but definitely wants nothing to do with them for the most part. Their presence usually causes dark spheres to arise.
Syndra is aware that she has become a local legend. She hated it at first but doesn’t much care these days. If anything, she wants people to fear her. That way she can be left alone.
The pieces of land that Syndra pulled up with the Fae’lor tower have cherry blossom trees on them and in late spring, sakura blooms and petals rain from the sky. She tends to them and also has plenty of flowers growing that she takes care of. They are no longer connected to the spirit of the land so she has to sustain them with her power. It’s no struggle but she has to be conscious of it to keep them alive.
Syndra keeps the fortress in the sky with her power. It isn’t something she has to upkeep, its more like an enchantment. It stays up because she wants it to. She can control where it flies as well but most of the time she lets it float where it may.
Syndra comes down for supplies maybe twice a month. She will land somewhere secluded and walk the distance to some small town or settlement where there is a market. She disguised herself and if anyone asks questions, she tends to use mind magic and steer them away. She steals what she needs and goes back home. Syndra doesn’t like leaving so she has taken to starting her own vegetable garden on her floating island.
Syndra’s hobby is painting. She paints to calm herself down, she paints to express herself. Her favorite canvas is her own body but the walls of her fortress are covered in murals. She used to steal the paints but she tends to blend them herself from her garden.
