Personality Confident, gregarious, and a little cocky, Cypress is a performer by nature who knows how to work a crowd. His specialties are up-close illusions, crafted with the involvement of his audience in mind. His stage of choice is the boardwalk at Caelestis Cove, but Cypress has his ambitions set much higher, and he jumps at the opportunity to show off his talent to folks in high places. He certainly looks the part, too - Cypress is rarely seen without his top hat and capelet, and he loves eccentric fashion.

While he certainly loves the thrill of the stage, Cypress' heart is always with his family. Being the oldest of three orphans instilled in him a fierce desire to protect and care for his younger siblings. Although Linden and Ash are perfectly capable of carving their own paths, Cypress pours every bit of his income into his family's well-being. He especially delights in being able to indulge in an expensive dessert for the three of them. He'd defend his siblings with his life, and feels extremely vulnerable if separated from them by any great distance.

Besides being apart from his family, Cypress' greatest fear is failure. A botched performance can ruin his day or even his week. Since the world is his stage, this applies to tripping, stubbing his toe, and all manner of other minor public blunders. When he's in a funk, he's very dramatic about it. His siblings find his woe-is-me melodrama extremely amusing, but they're gracious in letting him lick his wounds. Linden and Ash know that simple joy of a good cup of tea works wonders on a bruised ego.
