"By Heka's grace, we prevail." - Ciri
Lady Ciri was born in 1164 BCE within the walls of the royal palace during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses III. As the daughter of one of the Pharaoh's esteemed consorts, she was raised under the protective wings of the temple of Heka. By the age of 28, she had ascended to the revered position of high priestess and gained the favor of Heka, the Egyptian god, who transformed her into a Sphinx to guard his temple.
Ciri embodies the oujodere archetype, characterized by her prim and proper demeanor and strict exterior. She is well-mannered and well-spoken, offering advice with a calm and reassuring presence.
As a Sphinx, Ciri possesses unique abilities. She has necromantic powers, allowing her to communicate with spirits, revive people within a day of their death, and create undead minions from animals and beasts. She can heal both minor and grievous wounds. Ciri can manipulate her size, naturally standing at 225ft, she is able to change her height to 16ft when needed.
Ciri's appearance is striking and otherworldly. Her eyes captivate with their intense, yellowish-orange sclera and sparkling burnt orange irises, complete with large, round pupils reminiscent of a lion's gaze. Her long, dark lashes and brows starkly contrast her lighter hair, adding to her mesmerizing look. Atop her head, she has lioness ears instead of human ones; fangs and lion's tail further accentuate her leonine nature.
As a rare female Egyptian Sphinx, Ciri is gifted with majestic eagle wings, an integral symbol in Egyptian culture, as the steppe eagle is Egypt’s national animal. Unlike most of her kin, who were often male, female sphinxes were typically reserved for female pharaohs, further highlighting her uniqueness. Her hands and feet exhibit a beautiful gradient from dark to light, and she adorns her forearms with intricate decorative henna, a nod to her Egyptian heritage.
In present times, Ciri seeks to revitalize the Cult of Heka, attracting new worshippers and continuing its legacy. She aims to provide a safe and familial place for her followers, offering them a sense of belonging and purpose.

In an age when the Nile flowed with the whispers of Gods and Pharaohs, Egypt stood unmatched, its grandeur kissed by the golden light of Rah. It was here, amidst the splendor of King Ramesses III’s reign, that Ciri first drew breath; the cherished child of one of his beloved consorts. Yet hers was a life fated to be draped in silken shadows, a golden prison of royal halls and veiled gazes. Her mother, wise beyond the trappings of courtly glitter, saw another destiny for her precious child. To shield Ciri from the gilded confines of the royal harem, she was placed within the sacred temple of Heka, the God of mysticism and medicine. It was within those ancient walls, far from the suffocating grandeur of the palace, that Ciri was nurtured. Among scrolls inked with forgotten wisdom and chants murmured through eternity, she grew. Knowledge, like the Nile's eternal flow, nourished her soul, and she drank deeply, her mind blooming like the rarest lotus unfurling beneath the moonlit sky.
Time, ever the artist, shaped her into a vision of beauty and spirit; graceful, unyielding, and radiant as the first light on the desert sands. This flame of devotion and strength caught the attention of Heka himself, a God often distant to mortal trifles. In Ciri, he beheld something wondrous. A mortal whose soul mirrored the luminescence of a divine gem. In her passion and reverence, she became more than a devotee, she became an embodiment of sacred purpose.
Thus, Heka bestowed upon her a gift as eternal as the stars themselves; the essence of life. With a touch, her fingertips mended wounds, turned back death’s cruel hand, and called forth whispers from the veil between worlds. A bridge she became, between life and afterlife, knowledge and power. To honor her spirit, Heka remade her a Sphinx, the eternal guardian, wisdom made flesh. Yet with such gifts came a price. And so, with heavy wisdom, Heka sealed her within a temple, suspending her in ageless slumber. A guardian awaiting a world yet to need her. The sands of time shifted. Empires bloomed and withered like lilies upon the Nile. Egypt’s glories fell to dust, its stories reduced to whispers carried on desert winds. Heka's temple lay forgotten, buried deep in the cradle of the dunes, an enigma hidden from mortal eyes.
Until now. A band of explorers, led by tales of myths, breached the temple’s sacred heart, shattering the seal that bound her. The slumbering Sphinx awoke, her eyes opening to a world reborn, one far removed from the age of her birth. The winds, now unfamiliar, still carried voices searching for solace, lost souls longing for sanctuary. And so, Ciri steps forth from the shadows of eternity, ready to guide those who seek her, keeper of secrets, guardian of the wayward, and a beacon for those wandering the modern sands.

One of the most prominent gods in Egyptian mythology is Heka, the god of magic and medicine. The etymology of Heka's name comes from the ancient Egyptian language. The word heka (or spelled as hike) meant magic and referred to the god, the practice, and the concept of magic. Heka was a neutral force regarded as neither good nor bad.
A Sphinx is a mythical creature from ancient lore, combining elements of human and beast. In Egyptian mythology, Sphinxes are typically shown as having the body of a lion and the head of a human, often depicted as male and wingless. This contrasts with the Greek tradition where the Sphinx might have wings and is often female.
The Greek Sphinx is an iconic figure rooted in the legendary tale of Oedipus. Depicted as a winged female with a reputation for mystery and dread, she is most famous for the riddle she presented to those who wished to enter the city of Thebes. The Greek Sphinx was a malevolent force, devouring anyone unable to answer her riddle correctly, symbolizing destruction and calamity.
The Egyptian Sphinx, distinct from its Greek counterpart, serves as a symbol of ancient Egyptian religious and royal ideology. Typically portrayed as a male with a lion's body and the head of a pharaoh, these sphinxes are wingless and embody strength and authority. Their primary role as guardians of temples and tombs positions them as protectors against evil, aligning them closely with pharaonic power and wisdom.
Meroë, the Chimera Cub, is the beloved mascot of Ciri’s Channel. Named after the ancient capital of the Kingdom of Kush, Meroë was discovered in the historic city following the tragic loss of his mother to a hunter. His name is pronounced "mur-ow-ee."
In ancient Egypt, priests, known as "Hem-netjer" and priestesses as "Hemet-netjer," served as servants of the gods, with high priests holding the title "Hem-netjer-tepy" or "First Servant of the God". Typically ascending to their roles later in life, these individuals were often from the elite or royal family, combining religious duties with significant political influence. Their responsibilities included maintaining temples, performing rituals, overseeing festivals, and conducting funerary rites essential for upholding ma'at, the cosmic order vital for the state and individual well-being.

Hello, I'm Skelly, the creative force behind Ciri. Born in the '80s and molded by the '90s, I first stepped into the public eye as a published alternative model and promotional model at conventions in the early 2000s. I've always found myself in the spotlight, albeit reluctantly. My journey into VTubing emerged from a desire to manage my anxiety while being able to entertain without the gaze of an audience, and yes, without having to wear pants!
Culinary arts is where my heart truly lies. I studied molecular gastronomy at Le Cordon Bleu and pursued a formal education in Food Science. Cooking is not just a skill for me; it's my ultimate expression of creativity and a way to share comfort and joy.
My quarter Egyptian heritage, inherited from my maternal grandmother, has deeply influenced my VTubing persona and inspired the design of my latest VTuber model.
