Cydney 'The Boar' Trixter

Cydney "The Boar" Trixter is a Halfling Swashbuckler with a laugh that carries across taverns and a personality that refuses to be ignored. Boisterous, outgoing, and perpetually mid-celebration, Cydney is almost always found at the heart of the party, flask in one hand, buckler in the other, wielded less like a shield and more like a plate piled high with chips. They're beloved by nearly everyone they meet, save for the rare few who are far too uptight to appreciate a good time.

Despite their playful nature, Cydney is a skilled fighter and is not to be underestimated. They have a quick wit and even quicker reflexes, making them a formidable opponent in battle. However, they prefer to avoid violence whenever possible and would rather use their charm and wit to get out of a sticky situation. All in all, Cydney is a fun-loving and skilled adventurer who always knows how to have a good time.

The nickname earned its keep years back, in a bar fight nobody quite agrees on the details of anymore, except that Cydney put their head down and simply kept coming forward through it, unbothered, cheerful, immovable, the way a boar shoulders through underbrush without appearing to notice it's there. It stuck. Cydney seems to enjoy it more than their actual name.

They move through a crowded room the same way, shoulder-first and grinning, mid-sentence before you've finished deciding whether to talk to them, already flagging down a round you didn't order. Nobody's ever seen the buckler used to block a blow. Plenty of people have seen it used to settle a bet, win a dare, or carry an improbable number of chips across a room without spilling one.
