Cioba Cantori de Riva

Cioba is ready for the Masquerade! The Sunshine of Salle chose a sun-themed half mask, but if not wearing the mask she would wear ornate ear cuffs to accentuate the elven point of her ears. She can't wait to dance the night away!

Cioba. Babygirl. Please. You're supposed to be the Sunshine of Salle. Stop trying to be angsty!!

I feel like in her head she's like, trauma trauma trauma--iiiit's a kitty I'm gonna pet it!

Cioba has always loved flowers. Growing up in Antiva City she always kept an eye on the ground, be it for the odd pop of color defying the odds to grow in the gutter or, more likely, forgotten stems fallen from bouquets or passing merchants. Back then she would weave them--when she had enough--into necklaces and crowns for the rest of the rag tag bunch that worked the streets.

When she is first taken by the Crows she is at first thrilled for the sheer amount of flora to be found at her disposal. After learning of Teia's favorite flower (Crystal Grace) she makes the most elaborate crown yet. A gift for the sister she never thought she'd see again. Some of the older fledglings mock her, though, so she stops out of shame.

She still periodically makes Viago a crown, however. And the bastard wears it, too.

Here's some fun games and questions below the cut. Reblog this post with your responses!

Cioba is probably the brightest, happiest, most bubbly Crow you'll meet. She definitely knows how to blend into the shadows, but sometimes that energy and charm can obscure just as much as anything else. Who would suspect her of being a cold-blooded assassin? (Yet assassin she is, though hardly cold-blooded.)

What other Factions do they trust? Which make them think twice?

Cioba probably trusts the Mourn Watch the most (her gf is an accomplished mage of the Necropolis, after all). She's wary of the Shadow Dragons. Tevinter has a reputation, after all, though she does know there are exceptions to every rule. The fact that she is an elf makes her innately distrustful of anyone from the Imperium, as well.

Quiz:

are we shocked? No. She's most definitely not broody, though. (Also sharing my favorite question from the quiz because its sooooo Cioba!)

🌻 How old is your Rook? How do they feel about celebrating their birthday? What gift has meant the most to them?

At the time of Veilguard Cioba is 28. She loves to celebrate her birthday because she didn't celebrate (nor know what date her birthday even was) until she reunited with Teia at 6. Her most cherished gift is the small stilettos she keeps hidden on her person at all times, one from Teia and one from Viago. They were gifted to her on her on her 20th birthday, the very same day she became a Master Assassin.

🌷If Rook needed to get away from their responsibilities for a moment, where would they go? Where is their safe space outside the Lighthouse?

The Cantori Diamond. Anywhere Teia is, is a safe space for her. If Teia is busy, she'd go to Rialto, to her bedroom overlooking the bay. There's a big picture window with a window seat where she likes to sit.

🌿 Does your Rook have any tattoos? What was the moment when they got them like? If they’re a Crow where is their de Riva brand located? What vallaslin do they have/how did they earn it if they’re Dalish?

Here's some fun games and questions below the cut. Reblog this post with your responses!

Cioba likes to press flowers and has multiple books of them. She picks a flower from each contract she goes on. Viago has even helped her add some poisonous and toxic flowers (aka Viago presses them FOR her). She has a flower for each important person in her life in a special book she never shows anyone, too. When she's feeling sad she looks through them to remember there's still beauty in the world.

What sort of games does your Rook enjoy?

Exciting and fun games. City-wide capture the flag, beach volleyball, competitve board game.

Take this quiz to find out what hobby your Rook should learn

Knitting You like doing things with ur hands and want to create something to cherish and love. I suggest starting with scarves until you develop proper yarn tension (don't let those terms scare u!) Even if ur yarn tension isn't very good, u should still knit! It's very rewarding and being able to wear something you've made is such a cool feeling. Also, don't let people rope u into making them things, knitting something for people is a labor-intensive job and if they won't pay for it, or understand what u mean, do not knit them something. It's also a great night time hobby to watch tv to and is wonderful time away from technology as well!

🥀 What figure from Rook’s personal past would be added to the regret prison?

Teia.

🪷 Does your Rook have an irrational phobia? (ie spiders or large man-made objects submerged underwater)

🌾 If there was a demon trying to trap/take over Rook, what kind would be the most successful? What would break their hold?

🍀 Has Rook had any near-death experiences? What went through their mind during what they thought was going to be their final moments?

Her only (thus far) near-death experience happened about a year after she went to de Riva. She'd been struggling to grasp the intricacies of poison-making, but really wanted to impress Viago. She was trying to craft something relatively simple involving poison hemlock, but she was terrible with plants (hence the issue overall). Instead of poison hemlock, she added water hemlock, drastically increasing the effect. Her only thoughts were how she'd failed him. Luckily Viago found her before it became fatal. She was banned for life from any poison-craft AS WELL AS his laboratory.

🌹 What’s the first genuine fight Rook got in with their love interest about? How was it resolved?

I have been trying to think on this for days now and my girl is being tight-lipped!! I know she's making eyes at Davrin, but there's been no romantic overtures there yet.

I guess all I needed to to was start to answer because I'm getting vibes now!

to take this quiz to find Cioba's color and the result is SOOOO Cioba. I've been lowkey calling her 'The Sunshine of Salle' in my head. As I've been filling out asks and taking quizzes her personality ahs been forming in my mind and the vibes are bubbly, happy, sunshine. Unsure yet if fit masks something darker or not.

I ALSO took this quiz that I found, What Does Your Soul Smell Like and it too furthers the fact that she's energy and cheer. She is so ready to make all the friends.
