Regardless, the Heritor left behind becomes the actual hero who defeats Malxatra the Heritor who 'won' the duel ends up being controlled as one of the evil god's puppets during the final boss battle, alongside Ragnadaam and Riemsianne. Because she had found the first half of the sword, she was burdened with the destiny of stopping Malxatra the moment she acquired it in essence, she was trying to avoid following the same tragic path as the past Heritors.ĭepending on which hero the player chooses to come down to the dungeon where the duel is held, the outcome would be either Toma winning or Cyrille winning.

Like many things regarding the young mage, it is not known when she acquired her half of the legendary blade, but she had known all along about the destiny of two Heritors dueling to the death in fact, her only reason for traveling with Toma's team was to get the other half of Shining Force before he did so she wouldn't have to kill anyone. Before the duel started, Cyrille brought out her half of the Shining Force, which she had kept safely stored in her spell book. In order to fully conquer Malxatra, both Heritors were to fight to the death in order for one Heritor to acquire the other half of the sword, just as previous Heritors had done in the past, because the Shining Force will not leave a person's body unless they die. However, there was a problem: Toma and Cyrille were both Heritors and, as such, each of them wielded only half of the full power of Shining Force. The job of Heritors is to wield the Shining Force and use it to stop the evil god Malxatra. Toma managed to acquire it before she did at the very beginning of the story, and Cyrille remained with him to make sure he understood the responsibilities that came with wielding such a coveted item.Įventually, after many events and clashes with both Emperor Ragnadaam III of Noswald and Queen Riemsianne La Vaes of Fyrlandt, Cyrille revealed her long kept secret to everyone: she too was a Heritor just like Toma. She too was seeking it, but for a mysterious reason she kept from the rest of the party. It is also not known at what point Toma and Cyrille met before the events of their game began, but she teamed up with him when she learned Toma was seeking the legendary holy sword, Shining Force. Thanks to extensive researching and a gifted mind, she mastered the magic arts at a young age and can wield a variety of spells at once, making her quite formidable on the battlefield. Not much is known about her family other than her grandfather, but she received a highly prestigious education when she lived in the Noswald Empire, one of the two factions at war in Shining Force EXA. While Toma could be considered the 'temperamental barbarian boy', Cyrille is the 'calm educated girl'.

Cyrille is much the opposite of Toma in many ways.
