(alt-text has a little more context)
#LaylaFFXIV_lore #CielFFXIV_lore
Ciel hails from one of Sharlayanโs more famous families. Heโs known the Scions who lived in/come from Old Sharlayan and he has sought Matoya out for advice as heโs on the run.
Privately heโs worked with the Students of Baldesion as well. As of 7.4, heโs actively in the MSQ too.

Page 5: Ciel: ...No, master. He has become worse. I did not think that could be possible. Matoya: Though it seems you have not picked up any of his habits. Perhaps there is still hope. Ciel: I would not be so sure.
Page 6: Ciel: And this is why I have sought you out, Master Matoya. Ciel: I have found myself in a complex situation. And now my life is facing a disaster. Matoya: ...I doubt I can lend you a hand. But lending an ear? I can do that. Consider this a privilege, boy.

This is a gpose comic in which Ciel (a Hyuran man) seeks out Matoya (a Hyuran woman) out. Page 1: ???: Pardon my intrusion, Master Matoya. I see you are the perfect picture of health. This gladdens me! Matoya looking seriously into the distance Matoya turning to Ciel: I do not take kindly to intruders.
Page 2: Ciel, bowing: Ah, forgive me! Was I supposed to knock? The magick barrier you set up made it impossible for me to simply... knock. Matoya, whispering: The youth really do not have any manners... Matoya: If you made the effort to remove my carefully placed barrier, then you must have a weighty reason. State your business!
Page 3: Ciel smiles Ciel, pointing at himself: My name is Ciel. Ciel Heartfury. Ciel, in a serious tone: I have come to ask you for your sage advice.
Page 4: Matoya: The detached Heartfury family. One of the most storied families Sharlyan has. And one of the most abhorrent ones at that. I was hoping I would never hear from them ever again. Matoya: I remember you now boy. The eldest of three if I am not mistaken. Is your father still the same stubborn, hard-hearted man? Ciel, looking at Matoya and continues to smile

Do you see the vision
#LaylaFFXIV_lore #CielFFXIV_lore
His sister, however is very headstrong and does not hesitate to manipulate others to get what she wants. Thanks to that, it is she who is tasked with bringing Ciel back to Old Sharlayan...
#CielFFXIV_lore
Ciel is the oldest of 3 siblings (His sister being the middle child).
They are not close at all, though his younger brother is at least trying to get along with his family members (tragically he is the friendliest person in a family in which kindness is seen as a weakness).
#CielFFXIV_lore
A thread ๐งต:
The contrast between Layla and Ciel's childhoods couldn't have possibly been more different.
Layla grew up in a loving family where she was spoiled rotten, while Ciel was surrounded by caretakers and rarely seem to have spent much time with them.

Side note on how Ciel managed to get to Tuliyollal in the first place:

Layla is the wol in my universe. Her non-canon versions (the au ra & the lalafell) however are not. The only one whose story is interwoven with hers is Ciel.
The other OCs (like my Elezen Jeanne & my Viera Safiyah *might* exist but they won't interact with the msq.

Thanks to the FFT Remaster announcement, I have easily found a voice claim for Ciel ๐
Just like with Layla, I gave him a Japanese VA (Ono Yuki) and a British VA (Joe Pitts) and hilariously enough they both appear in FF games LOL

Layla and Asteria look practically the same but their personalities couldn't be more different.
Meanwhile Ciel's ancient, Hemera, is a woman, so she already looks a bit different. But she shares his natural haircolor and his temperament.
