Operator Overview
"If I could find a cure for Schwarz, wouldn't that mean I could cure other infected too? Worry not, Doctor, I'm not that selfish. But please also know that Schwarz is dearest to my heart."
Ceylon prefers to go by “Miss” instead of “Professor” in order to avoid giving people the wrong impression of her work and status. However, there’s no mistaking her presence on the battlefield, where she acts as a 5★ Wide-Range Medic with an emphasis on Water stages and Debuff mitigation.
Wide-Range Medics are single-target healers who have a much larger range than a typical ST Medic. However, their healing becomes weaker when targeting distant allies. Ceylon works around this limitation with her Talent, Lake Walker – an ATK boost that is multiplied when there are Water tiles on the map – and her automatic Skill 1, Concentrated Hydrotherapy, which enhances her next heal and removes the distance penalty. However, her most impressive ability is her Skill 2, Water Blessing. This increases her ATK, allows her to heal 2 allies at a time, and gives all allies within range a rare buff that halves the duration of Stun, Chill, and Freeze, making it difficult for enemies to incapacitate your Operators (Annihilation 3, anyone?!)
As much as she might prefer otherwise, Ceylon is not perfect. While her increased range gives her opportunities that other Medics may lack, the conditionals on the rest of her kit limit her in other ways. Her stats (especially ATK) are noticeably lower than other ST Medics; her DP cost is quite high; the penalty she gets from distance healing can be a problem; and maps with water tiles are non-existent right now outside of Summer Events, hampering her Talent. If you’re counting on her Skill 2 to make up for her weaknesses, take a look at that SP cost. You won’t be using that Skill more than once in most battles – twice if you’re lucky. The rest of the time, Ceylon will be on her own.
As the first Wide-Range Medic in Arknights, Ceylon occupies a unique space in the game, both with her potent utility and her finicky conditionals. There are many wrinkles to her kit that Doctors must be aware of in order to leverage her powers successfully, but for a persistent Doctor, the benefits should well outweigh the cost.

Note: This unit does not have Mastery grades. This means the unit is generally not one worth spending the resources of Mastery on. However this write-up should help with skill selection, should you want to use the unit regardless.
Early units frequently suffered from cruel balancing decisions, and Ceylon suffered even worse as a welfare unit. Even before wide range Medics and Resist were common, Ceylon was an extremely off meta choice. She just doesn't heal for enough and her best skill has a mind boggling SP cost. You really shouldn't be using Ceylon at all. There's just too many good Medic options these days, many of which are free. If you insist, go with her S2, which is at least decently impactful while active. True Ceylon lovers might find use in S1 as well thanks to a more consistent application when S2’s SP is just too much.

Profile
A graduate of the Victorian National University who majored in Originium Research, she now works as an assistant researcher to Dr. Kal'tsit on her indoor research work.
She has a precocious level of master in water arts and can provide reliable treatment to allies on the battlefield.

Clinical Analysis
Increase Trust to 25.Imaging tests reveal clear, normal outlines of internal organs, and no abnormal shadows have been detected. Originium granules have not been detected in the circulatory system and there is no sign of infection. At this time, this operator is believed to be uninfected.
[Somatic Cell-Originium Fusion Rate] 0%
Although for occupational reasons, the patient must come into extended contact with Originium, the operator has taken the appropriate steps to protect herself. As a result, she shows no sign of infection.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.21u/L
The numbers are on the high side of normal, but Originium researchers do not yet believe there is anything to be concerned about.

Increase Trust to 50.She is a somewhat arrogant and spoiled young lady.
The reason why I say 'young lady' instead of 'researcher' is because she gives such a strong impression of a spoiled noble lady that any time she is mentioned, they will say 'Ah! That Lady!' even if they know the content of her work.
Of course, even though they'll ridicule her as 'the Lady,' there isn't anybody who actually dislikes her. This is because most of the time, she is right, and if she is wrong, she is not stingy with her apologies.

Increase Trust to 100.Ceylon's hometown, Siesta, is a rare independent city.
Its rareness lies not just in the fact that it's a non-nomadic city, but also that it's an independent city, and even more so in that it is currently in a state of rapid development.
In truth, on Terra, even though there are many long-established nations, nations are not a widespread concept. Independent city-states, however, are.
It should be said that in the context of the present day, the social collectives referred to by 'nation' were city-states in the past. The predecessors of several nations were independent cities gathered together. Additionally, even today, some nomadic cities that nominally belong to certain nations still to varying degrees retain the customs and traditions of the city as opposed to those of the nation.
However, it must be conceded that the concept of an independent city is falling by the wayside, although the old-fashioned and elderly might refuse to admit it. That is because the concept of a nation is more powerful.
Now, even though there is still a considerable number of independent cities on Terra, their leaders have already recognized that independent cities are no match for nations. In recent years, there have been many such independent cities that have surrendered to neighboring nations.
However, Siesta's special characteristics may be able to take them in a new direction.

Increase Trust to 150.In order to better facilitate understanding, Ceylon did not mention her specific area of study when introducing herself. In fact, the discipline of Originium Research has a large number of sub-categories, both in the applied area of the doctrine as well as the theoretical. Ceylon specializes in researching the history of applied development of Originium.
Before the modern academics managed to specialize the research, many precious historical materials on Originium were not well preserved. In fact, collecting clues from past historical data to infer the paths of development of the various Originium schools was also an important part of modern Originium research.
Although today, with the development of science and technology, the study of historical materials has gradually become less concerned with the development of theory and more the verification of it. Of course, the importance of recording history itself is self-evident for the meaning of a civilization.
Naturally, although Ceylon has only just graduated from university, her intellectual reserves and enthusiasm for the study of Originium is breath-taking, and one can clearly see how much effort Ceylon put into her studies. For Rhodes Island, the addition of such an outstanding talent is a most unexpected surprise.

Increase Trust to 200.The reason why Schwarz's presence is not mentioned in Ceylon's file is the same reason Ceylon was not mentioned in Schwarz's.
The reason is very simple, and that's becuase it's simply not necessary. Words cannot be used to sufficiently describe the depth of feeling they have for one another.
However, one point that may be worth recording is that while they regard one another as the most important thing in each other's lives, their worlds are not merely limited to one another.
Ceylon still eats with other researchers, works with them, and can argue theory until the wee hours of the morning. Schwarz can independently carry out her tasks as well as hit the taverns with other mercenary operators and engage in hand-to-hand combat with them in the practice area.
They both have their own independent lives, and after joining Rhodes Island, they expanded their horizons even more. We can intuit that they will become more accustomed to this life while still remaining as important to one another as they've always been.
This could be described as a 'profound mutual affection,' with emphasis put on 'profound.'

Description:
Ceylon's research had nothing to do with the battlefield to begin with, but it seems that because of her tendency to put herself in others' shoes, all she ever has on her mind is how to save and protect even more lives. She may have left her homeland a long time ago, but the Siestan tides yet surge in the words she writes in her thick notebook.
