Cringe is Dead

Cygnus is from a small town in the north near Taruna, but they avoid talking about that since they know how people feel about Taruna (and agree). They were planning on going back there after graduation though, knowing full well that Taruna needs more menders.

Because of that, Cygnus doesn't care about their grade that much, but strives to do well to prove people doubting them wrong. They have a tendency to act too nonchalant sometimes, which makes them butt heads with Elias often.

They suffer from chronic migraines so they've ended up as a really good alchemist from so many years trying to the perfect headache medicine. Soren also made them a compression ice pack for their head and they cried when he gave it to them.

They're very good with wards and healing wounds thanks to their roommate being prone to blowing up.

Most of their classmates find they generally annoying since they're stubborn and can be short-tempered, but they have a good reputation with the younger students. Cygnus will go to bat for their patients, even against the teachers.

Tornkvist thinks they're a very talented mender, but wishes they would stop getting into fights with people...

Cygnus has the same taste in music as Soren, much to poor Nina's chagrin.

Despite being much shorter, Cygnus borrows Nina's clothes sometimes because they love her style.

Once Elias gets his sword they spend several weeks trying to convince him to give them his needles... He does not, and that is the correct choice.

There are a couple of things i wanted to keep in mind across all the outfits:

A special fact about their Gala outfit: I kept it pretty close to canon, but added the tie on their wrist as a nod to Soren since the bracelet in the canon design reminds me of the ones Nina wears. They also romance Kim so I gave them the triangle necklace.

Main fits:

They wear the same shoes all the time -- its important to have good shoes as a Mender!

Seeing as their grade is printed on their wrist, that needs to be coverable even in hot weather!

They don't get to shop much so they reuse outfit pieces where they can !

Cygnus always has their pouch of headache medicine and Mender supplies on them, so its a matter of figuring out where it's going to go.

Cygnus is confident in their body and generally prefers flow-y clothes, but they have to work in a medical ward so it does need to be practical enough for that!
