Ciardite

Biography
Cia, the ever careful self-proclaimed scientist of The Miners Guild of Vanhoover claiming to do experiments on ways to help its members improve their magic skills with new ideas and applications. While generally kind-hearted, Cia is known to be mentally unstable in terms of PTSD of what happened to her last hive, having developed a colder crueler alternate personality as a result. Cia was taken into her current home by Queeen Cryostasis and given her role among the hive,. Now spending most of her time mining for gemstones for her ever growing collection.

Personality
In general, Cia is kind and sweet, if not a little overly professional. doing well under any kind of pressure with concise calculations. However wheneevr pushed too far or triggered by her PTSD, her other personality will take over a much colder... even hurtful personality takes over, wanting nothing to do with anyone and more often than not ends up in fights, to which she battles with deadly precision.

Skills and Abilities
NOTE: Unlike other changelings Cia does not have the innate ability to disguise herself due to her excessive studying with rock magic.

Rock Magic (Master)
Like her now deceased Hive's ability, Cia naturally was born with the ability to manipulate the earth to her will.. within reason. But soon, she became so adept she was elected as head researcher to find ways to improve hive function with their ability. Her new ideas have allowed her to utilize this magic for various needs including offensive attacks; such as projectiles or even more...creative moves. Defensive magic such as temporary rock armor, or summoning rock walls to block attacks., and also other things such as mining and being able to move freely underground, or even terraform caves as needed. Though she is limited on how much she can do at one time, she may have studied... but the cost is always different than theory.

Geology (Master)
Ciardite's studies may have lead her to become... obsessed with rocks. particularly of the Gemstone variety. Developing hoarding tendencies that put dragons to shame, if Cia sees something shiny, it's hers. While having a rather intimate grasp on gemstones alone, CIa has been able to point out spiritual uses for gemstones as well as studied enough of the school of rocks to be able to even guess age, she did live under one for almost her entire life.

Science and Reseach (Adept)
While some may accuse her of malpractice, Cia is a scientist, running experiments in her own personal lab for the good of the hive. Even if the reasons may be... questionable at best. She does it for protection, and to help expand the minds of those she calls her friends, hoping to help them realize their fullest potential with just a bit of tinkering, anything can be done!
