BIO / BACKGROUND HISTORY: Born to the Phoenix shortly after arriving on the Fire Isle, Hyacinthus was raised with stories of the old land. Their parents were craftspeople back then, their father a woodworker and their mother a weaver. Hyacinthus was most interested in the way his mother described working with camel’s fur and showed him sketchbooks filled with intricate designs for fabric, some of which she was able to bring with her to the new world.
As she grew older, Hyacinthus picked up her parents’ trades, teaching herself to make drop spindles and looms to make textiles like her mother. With age, their desire to experiment grew. He had begun to make his own clothes and work with the goat’s wool on the island but had wanted to branch out.
Her experimentation began with the various plants on the Isle, but as she ran out of material she learned about mana weaving. They studied and observed the weavers amongst the Phoenix and translated the techniques to fiber weaving, melding the skills. But even mana weaving let him wanting more.
It was when she had heard of Finnath’s rabbit farm that she felt that feeling of excitement. Hyacinthus dropped by his tent to collect some fur which, to their surprise, spun beautifully. While there, Hyacinthus had heard stories about the new continent north of his island home. Tales of diverse merchants and swamp camels piqued their curiosity and filled them with a desire to see outside their now seemingly tiny island. With the motivation of exploration and discovery, she’s decided to explore Mardrun to find more materials to make her art.
