Graelyn Scythes

Graelyn Scythes was a notable inhabitant of the 10,000 Dawns who was good friends with Archimedes Von Ahnerabe and, like him, a one-time companion of Lady Aesculapius as well as an agent of Dawn.

Early life and adventures
Scythes grew up in an abusive household in the late 25th century Moscow of her universe. She had a cat named Mr. Sprinkles and loved the book Head of State. (PROSE: Rachel Survived) After leaving Moscow, Graelyn lived "underwater" for a time. After meeting Archimedes Von Ahnerabe and beginning to work for Dawn, she and Archimedes once went on a mission to a moon chasing something and Archimedes was taken, leading Graelyn to rescue him from the past by infiltrating a World War II special operations mission. (PROSE: White Canvas)

Travels with Lady Aesculapius
Graelyn and Arch also travelled with Lady Aesculapius for a time (PROSE: White Canvas, Life After Death) in her Factory of Crystal. During this period, they once visited Rogeria City on the planet Mercury, where Graelyn bought a cheap Sherlock Holmes Halloween costume. When she eventually parted ways with Aesc, she left the costume behind in the Factory. (PROSE: Life After Death)

Involvement with the Totality
When the factions of the 10,000 Dawns began fighting over the Book of Books, Graelyn and Archimedes befriended Rachel Edwards and prevented the Book from being taken by anyone. (NOTVALID: Rachel Survived)

Graelyn later became a central figure in the masterplan of Auteur. (NOTVALID: White Canvas)

The funeral of Lady Aesculapius
After one of her incarnations was murdered by an unknown party using a booby-trapped parcel, Lady Aesculapius, reborn in a new body, chose to keep her survival a secret in order to find out who had sent the parcel, and organised a lavish funeral for herself in the Factory, inviting everyone she knew. Graelyn and Archimedes Von Ahnerabe were among the first names she scribbled down on her list. At the reception, Graelyn immediately recognised Aesc in her new body and casually greeted her as such, in part because she recognised her own Sherlock Holmes costume which Aesc had put on as a "disguise". Forced to improvise, Aesc unconvincingly claimed to be her own, imaginary cousin "Lady Raesculapius".

Later, after Aesculapius made her deductions about her murder public, Graelyn and Arch stopped the killer, Meistras, from slipping away quietly. She heard the subsequent interaction between Meistras and Aesc, and was perturbed to hear about the Utopia Dimension's universe-destroying weapon, which seemed to be the heart of the matter. She asked Aesc about it at greater length after Meistras escaped, "sombre for the first time since arriving at this funeral". (PROSE: Life After Death)
