Author's Note: This story takes place after Cress. Sybil isn't dead because I have a theory for Winter that she is still alive.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Lunar Chronicles, which is probably a good thing.

Sybil Elise Mira hadn't always been evil.

When she first became a thaumaturge, Queen Channary started her with doing little things such as interrogating people and cutting off fingers if people wouldn't give information.

Sybil Mira rose quickly through the ranks, and before she realized it, she was killing people without giving a thought to it.

She, Sybil Elise Mira, was a murderer.

And she was partly responsible for her brother's death.

Sybil Mira's brother was Sage Darnel.

And that made Cress her niece.

Author's Note: I'm sorry if this isn't very good because this is my first fanfic. Please review! Also, does anyone have any ideas for Cress's mother's name? Thank you!
