META INFORMATION DISCLAIMER: This timeline is presented for context and continuity, but much of this information isn't something Cyrelle would willingly discuss with most. This is for the curiosity of the audience and my own consistency — not Cyrelle being an open book.
• Born in a village on the Zeirchelle river floodplains in 1523 in the Golmore Jungle near the river's confluence.• Cyrelle's mother is distant at best, negligent mostly. The mothers of her village raised children communally, except unlike most mothers, she had as little to do as possible with her daughter - this is where Cyrelle's disgust at the thought of motherhood or having children comes from.• Her peers take note of this forsaken child, and Cyrelle becomes an easy target for ridicule. This continues into adolesence, and is the genesis of her distaste for children.• Cyrelle has one friend during her younger years: Rune. Unfortunately for them both, he manifests as a young man and is taken off to be trained as a Warder as is Golmorran tradition.• Garleans conscript her entire village at gunblade-point in 1547 shortly before the invasion of Dalmasca begins in earnest. Dalmasca falls within 3 years.• By 1550, Cyrelle and her people are brought near the border of Doma to build Castrum Fluminis as conscripted labor.• In 1552, Cyrelle and her people are freed by a Doman Liberation Front action & escapes with the rest of her village.Though she doesn't know it, her old friend played an important part in the village's liberation. Unfortunately for the pair, Cyrelle slinks off to Doma and attempts to make her way across the Ruby Sea during the initial invasion whilst the Empires attention is elsewhere.• Arrives in Kugane in 1553 after a rough year spent trying to cross the Ruby Sea. She eventually finds work in the Bokairo Inn despite only having broken Garlean to communicate with - Nobody spoke Vieran or her people's specific dialect of Ravan.• When initial construction begins on Shirogane, Cyrelle finds work as an Engineers Apprentice for the man responsible for building the landing docks. She stays through half of the subdivision's development.• In 1562, the Battle of Silvertear Lake & the Bozja Incident draw Cyrelle to Eorzea, hoping to make a difference somehow.• Cyrelle finds work in La Noscea with Naldiq & Vymelli's, continuing her training in Engineering. Notable projects she helped on include the Sea Wall in Limsa Lominas, & the Pharos Sirius lighthouse on Umbra Isle.• The reformation of the Eorzean Grand Companies takes Naldiq & Vymelli to Lower La Noscea, expanding the Moraby Drydocks in preparation for renewed hostilities with the Garlean Empire.• Cyrelle never joins battle, and is in Moraby during the Battle of Cartenau. Thanks to where she is, Cyrelle is spared the brunt of Calamity's destruction & survives.• With the defeat of Gaius van Baelsar at Castrum Meridianum, Ishgard opens it's gates & with it, Cyrelle learns of the Machinist tradition at the Skysteel Manufactory. She takes advantage of the Grand Tourney which inducts the Ishgardianstudies & assists them as she's able, as the shipbuilding trade slows with the end of immediate hostilities.• As Gyr Abania regains its independence, Cyrelle joins many other craftsmen in rebuilding Ala Mhigo city.• As the war between the Eorzean Alliance & the Garlean Empire comes to a head, Cyrelle turns her experience in fortifications to the Eorzean Alliance, working to reinforce Ala Mhigo.• As many experienced during the Seventh Umbral Calamity & the time period thereafter, the Final Days were a blur for Cyrelle. Thankfully, she came out the otherside relatively unscathed.• As the new dawn settled upon Eitherys and the people rejoiced at their star renewed, many sought to fulfill their heart's desire. In Cyrelle's case, this fell to seeing her homeland restored. Thanks to a chance encounter with a Dalmascan Resistance contact, Cyrelle finds herself working to rebuild the land once taken by the IVth Legion. Though much remains to be done as skirmishes still dot the lands of Dalmasca Inferior & Superior, Cyrelle hopes to rekindle some of the culture she's been removed from for so long.

💜 Mina Angura
One of the first people Mina met in Eorzea who made an effort to get to know her. Then an engineer's apprentice working around the various docks in La Noscea, their paths crossed frequently during Mina's prize fighter training. As they spoke more, Cyrelle quickly realized that she was dealing with a deeply broken person, and resolved to help however she could, as a friend or otherwise.
During a fight late in Mina's career, a group of drunks were harassing Cyrelle, and Mina realized that she cared what happened to the determined Viera and abandoned the match to get involved. They officially became a couple shortly after, and beginning to consider each other their wives a year after their mutual confessions, and only recently became legally married for practical reasons. However, Cyrelle's home culture of the Rava, much like Mina's with Tribe Angura, don't practice monogamy, leading to what, by Eorzean standards, is a less than traditional marriage.


🍃 Artemis Fauconol
These two first crossed paths at a hunting guild in Gridania, and despite her jokes at his expense, Artemis stuck around & has become her dearest friend. Both hailing for Golmore Jungle, these two travelled halfway across the star before they met, and coudn't have had more opposite experiences. As such, Cyrelle has taken it upon herself to expand Artemis' cultural horizons & encourages him explore his own boundaries, and in the process, Artemis is doing the something similar for Cyrelle.
