Description

This is Syba, the one who rescued Spheira from near death in the Myriad Path. (as seen here --> [link] )

Here's her stats:

Name: Syba (once called Sybal)
Age: Unknown
Height: 4'11"
Weight: Next to nothing
Race: Subservient Poe
Weapon of choice: Double-headed Scythe
Employer: Abyss

Background

Sybal's mother died giving birth to her, leaving her in the care of her dad. Her father had severe mental issues fueled by depression that grew as Sybal grew older. His mind had warpeed his wife's death into it all being Sybal's fault and constantly reminded her of that fact each day. Sybal truely believed that she had really been the one to kill her mother, though she did not understand why she did it. Her father was extremely abusive towards her, and his violence steadily increased over the years. Finally Sybal had had enough and hung herself. Her soul, however, could not rest... always wanting a real family and to be truely loved. Her spirit was sent to roam the earth as a poe. Shortly after her birth as a poe, Abyss took her on as a subserviant poe, transforming her shape back into one that resembled her original body and renaming her "Syba". The markings on her cheek are a sign of her servitude to Abyss, and are specific only to him (Each of the Zalmunna would have different patterns for their servants... the markings act as a kind of brand to identify). Abyss never treated her poorly though. He clothed her, and cared for her. He was the first person to actually show kindness to her. From that moment on, she dedicated her life to him, enscribing the phrase Duty Before Life on each of the scythe blades. She doesn't like Ziven too much because he's one of the Siderians and he gives off light that hurts her, but she puts up with him because Abyss is much happier when he is around. When Abyss left, She was technically freed from his reign. Unable to accept that he was truely gone, Syba began to search for her master, the one she loved like a father. Many years later, she found Spheira's broken body on the Isle of Hail after Abyss, who was trapped by the seal inside of Spheira's soul, pushed as much power as he could through the crack in the seal to keep him alive. The pulse was felt by Syba, but when she saw only a hylian boy's body, she thought she had only imagined it. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it really was her master inside of that mortal shell. She poured her energy into him and transported them both to the inn, healing his wounds. shortly after exiting the inn, she vanished due to a major depletion of her magic, the only thing tethering her to the earth being her bond of servitude of Abyss. She now lies in a state of dormancy until her energy replenishes itself.

Interesting facts:

:bulletred:She still has the mark from the noose underneath her choker necklace.
:bulletgreen: Since Abyss was never very good at shadow healing, Syba learned so that she could help him in times of need.
:bulletblue: Subservient poes look like they did in the mortal realm but they take on many of that characteristics of their masters once they are taken into servitude. For Syba, she inherited the horns. X3
:bulletpurple: She can't bleed, being dead and all.

I hope to use her again someday, but for now.... 8D

She's beautiful! Very good work! I love her story, too! It's very tragic, kind of like mine really! Have you read it? It's about GANONDORF'S daughter, so how do you think she felt? Oh God, that sounds so stuck-up and mean, I'm sorry. Machines cannot express emotions in voices . . . wish they would. But even though I wrote it, I really recommend my story, because it is just really heart-warming and lets you know how lucky you are. Does YOUR father feast on your blood? (and if you are unfortunate enough to not have a father then I am sorry . . . if not, good!) And does the first person who gave you kindness get murdered in front of her own people - by your father? Ok, I'm gonna shut up now, if you want to know more, read the story. Please?
