Who is Cynis Senactari?

Is she a beautiful courtesan, issuing her favors to the decadent nobility? In a dusky evening glow, a voluptuous woman giggles airily on one of her patron's knees. She swats his shoulder playfully, and he enjoys the aroma of her neck. He is an old member of the Dragonblooded host, and this evening his wealth has ensured her bedtime companionship. But he will not wake to find her next to him...

Could she be a shrewd merchant princess, ruling a silk and drug empire with an iron fist? She came from out of nowhere just a year before, and has swept the Realm's merchant empire onto its toes with her competitive practices in both legal and illicit trades. Now she has withdrawn to her chambers indefinately, and emerges only occasionally to issue another brilliantly calculated mandate to one of her devoted employees...

Is she a splendid musician, performing memorable shows that have changed the Realm? Her voice is golden honey, and her hypnotic dances captivate everyone with their seductive intensity. Rumors say she composes her own performances, calculating each note to an excellently articulated refinement. Her words have swayed satrapies, and her reavealing white silk dresses are above legendary. Also legendary is her love for privacy between shows...

Maybe a beautiful oracle, dancing on the spider-webs of the Heavenly Bureaucracy? She has appeared to many Dragonbloods, her blue eyes afire above mystic sigils painted on her porcelain cheeks. They do not know her function, but her authority is infallibly confirmed. It can be unfortunate to cross her, but none seeking to curry her favor have been able to trace her arcane path...

Or is she simply a fortunate unExalted Cynis, gifted by one of her family's more prestigious bathhouses? Raised in Cynis and attending primary school, it was soon evident that the young Dynast would not Exalt. Instead of succumbing to her shame, she revelled in it, and built a reputation for insight and skill almost unknown amongst unExalted mortals. Far more trusted than her peers, her only limitation to promotion seems to be her occasional irretrievable absence...
