Cyprim Shukra, known by her title as The Exemplar, is the ancestor to Albion Shukra who lived during the Renaissance. She was a spiritual leader at the time, and the twelfth and final of the Star Children.
The name Cyprim is likely derived from the word 'cyprium', meaning 'copper', in reference to her and her descendant's sigils. Her surname, Shukra, is a Sanskrit word that means "lucid, clear, bright". It is also the name of an ancient sage who counseled Asuras in Vedic mythology, and the term for Venus in Hindu astrology.
When she was about the same age as Albion, Cyprim was brought into the Static and approached by White Noise. Without revealing his identity, he told her about Albion and her friends and enlisted Cyprim's help in shaping their future. White Noise then gave her a part of the Green Sun which allowed her to see into the future.
Soon after White Noise became her mentor, Cyprim met Zekura Raines and entered into a pale relationship with her, working together to bring about the conditions for The Game's fruition. She eventually gave up her position as the pure oneself, as she believed that she was to carry the curse by blood alongside Zekura, bound to Repiton until their descendants were born. However, on the night Cyprim was to receive the blood curse, Zekura came across the hanged corpse of Thesal Voorat and passed the curse onto him instead, resurrecting him. Cyprim was extremely upset by this, losing control of her emotions for the first time in her life. By the time she recovered, both Zekura and Thesal were gone.
She was eventually found by the Fomenter and entered into a matespritship with him. By the time they decided to seek out Zekura and Thesal, an unknown war broke out and the Fomenter was killed in battle. Soon after his death, the Renaissance ended and Cyprim used her remaining power to contact Albion through The Cell where she gave her visions of the past and future, a warning not to trust White Noise, and a final warning to keep Ellsee out of the game. As Albion's emotions turned violent, Cyprim was killed by her ex-followers for unknown reasons.
