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.

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!"

Evaluation
She can be very helpful in clearing out mobs in the Shiverpeaks when she is following you for the Wayward Monk quest. Just watch her health as the mobs may sometimes target her. Note that after you have accepted the Wayward Monk quest, and you leave Traveler's Vale, she will no longer spawn in Traveler's Vale but in Iron Horse Mine instead.

Behavior
She is not very intelligent when targeting mobs. Her area spells will soemtimes aggro several mobs if you're not careful.

Pros: Cons:
 * She is a potent damage dealer, and you will notice that your party dispatches groups significantly faster when she is on board.
 * Same issues with AoE spell targeting as Orion.
 * Tends to die easily if engaged in melee.

Tyria

 * "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."

Cantha
When spoken to in the Divine Path:
 * "I can't wait to return to the northlands. Mhenlo doesn't have quite as many "friends" there."

Tyria
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."

Battle quotes:
 * "Touch me and you'll be sorry."
 * "You hate me? I'll hate you right back!"
 * "You remind me of someone I hate."
 * "You wanna play? I'll show you how to play."

Cantha
Cynn will ramble when travelling outside towns and outposts:
 * "You got my dress dirty, now you pay!"
 * "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."

Battle quotes:
 * "Touch me and you'll be sorry." (same as in Tyria)
 * "You stink. My fire will wash you clean."
