Cynn

Cynn, NPC
Nation: Ascalon Born in: Surmia Age: 20

Cynn is a bright, brash, and spoiled young elementalist who is a member of the Heroes of Ascalon group. Cynn originally appears in Ascalon City, near Prince Rurik. She was a student of magic in the academy at Surmia and survived the destruction of that city, though it made her bitter. After the searing, she can be found in the Eastern Frontier. She makes a few appearances throughout the journey through the Shiverpeaks and into Kryta. Finally, she appears at Thunderhead Keep, replacing Orion as the elementalist Henchman.

In the Prophecies Campaign there are many indications of a strong bond hinting at romance between Cynn and Mhenlo, as shown in The Wayward Monk and in the lore of the Guild Wars manual and official website. In the Factions Campaign, Cynn has publicly declared her feelings; best expressed by the quote: "Listen lady, he may not be much, but that Monk is mine!"

Behavior

 * Is not very intelligent, like the other NPCs, and will aggravate mobs if you're not careful.

Dialogue

 * "I'm not going to lie, the stories you've heard about me are true. If you don't think I can take care of myself, just ask the Charr warband who tried to sack my home. Oh, what's that? They didn't live long enough to be asked. Guess that answers your question. Just see to it that you don't get in my way, and we'll get along just fine."

Quotes
Idle quotes in the Ring of Fire Islands:
 * "Kind of reminds me of Surmia… after the Searing."
 * "Looks like someone already beat me to the burn."
 * "Nothing like a scowling face made out of pumice to make you feel right at home."

 * "Don't run from me, this is getting fun!"
 * "Burn baby burn."
 * (This one may be a reference to the song of the same name by Ash)


 * (in the Echovald Forest) "These trees won't burn. I tried."
