Quick Summary
Cid is a force of barely contained energy — brilliant, enthusiastic, and genuinely interested in people and the problems she can solve for them. She doesn't cast spells; she channels raw sorcerous power through custom-built devices, arguing with her own tech mid-combat. Her prosthetic left arm — articulated brass and glowing arcane conduits, engineered after the original was vaporized in a workshop accident — pulses brighter the harder she's thinking. She now partners with Gearwhistle to fly and operate the Zephyr's Oath.
Backstory
Cidrella Vexweld was a travelling artificer making a name for herself when she was swept up in a Red Rein sting operation and thrown in jail for crimes that were, at best, tangentially hers. The crew found her there and broke her out — which she appreciated, once she stopped being annoyed that someone else had to do it.
Getting free was only step one. Her workshop held a critical arcane crystal and intelligence the crew needed, so they broke in — to her own shop — an experience she describes as "deeply personal." Then the convoy carrying her confiscated gear had to be ambushed before she was whole again. By the time she had her bandolier back, she'd decided the crew was worth staying for.
