BASICS
NAME: Cendrillon Lansquenet
ALTERNATE TITLE:
AGE: 29
PRONOUNS: she/her
COMBAT STYLE
PARTY ROLE: All-Rounder
FAVORED CLASSES: Uses renamed DRK, SMN and SCH skills. As Tank, she uses a giant wind-up chimera (the kind seen in Dun Scaith), which she also rides around. As SCH, she has a wind-up pixie. And as SMN, she uses a page 63 and the wind-up primals.

BATTLE BEHAVIOR: The first time a mechanic is used, she and her mammet will hide behind the player, even if they're not standing in a safe spot. The second time onward, she'll drop everything to get the out of danger.

As tank, she pulls conservatively by default and complains if people pull ahead (but will pick up aggro sharpish). As healer, she's a nervous healer unless the tank has been above 70% for ten consecutive seconds, at which point she gets a little too ambitious with attacking and not healing. She prioritises sticking close to the player over staying still to fight, meaning that if they do pull ahead she's quick to join in fighting the new stuff they've pulled.

LIMIT BREAK?: She doesn't use LB immediately, but a little time after it's filled she'll give a combat bark to indicate that it's use-it-or-lose-it time. If you don't end the encounter or use the limit break yourself soon afterward, she'll use it. Yes, regardless of role.
ABOUT
BRIEF DESCRIPTION:
Cendrillon Lansquenet - ringleader, performer, puppetmaster, lead musician, non-lead musician, costume maker, script writer, poster designer, poster printer, bill poster and personal assistant to the ringleader of the Lansquenet Performance Company - at your service! The less questions you ask about the dolls, the better.

MOTIVATORS/INTERESTS: Despite a long-standing grudge against the Scions of the Seventh Dawn (who have no idea that she exists) for reasons that she will happily explain at length (but nobody ever asks), she is immensely protective of the Warrior of Light and desperately wants to make their life easier (which she somehow thinks this will achieve). Alternatively, this seemed like easy money.
