She was well aware that she was not the official commander of the castle's garrison. Still, she strove every day to protect her home, which her beloved father had similarly cherished. Accompanying the newly appointed castle lord [[Thomas]] to [[Brass Castle]], she would be momentarily stunned when [[Salome Harras]] noted that Budehuc had no appointed garrison commander. | She was well aware that she was not the official commander of the castle's garrison.

This was not due to simple optimism or naivety. For Cecile, to protect the things important to her without backing down formed the core of what she truly believed in. Together, the people of Budehuc were able to prevent Thomas's removal as castle governor, securing the future of the castle further. She would continue to support Thomas when Budehuc Castle became the base of operations of the [[Fire Bringer]]. | This was not due to simple optimism or naivety.

Cecile did write letters to [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] on the dogs' behalf. She also wrote several letters on her own, mostly sharing how she got through the weather of the day, noting that being the guardskeeper in the rain was hard, but that she would try hard for the castle and that she didn't like cloudy days. | Cecile did write letters to [[Hugo (Suikoden III)|Hugo]] on the dogs' behalf.
