Personality
Eden's countenance betrays little in regards to her thoughts or emotions; a steel wall, one might aptly compare it to. It is abundantly difficult to decipher anything past her constant, tight-lipped frown and unwavering expression. Truly, she presents herself as a cat of little words and a scarcer warmth - polite, but blunt. Always to the point with what she intends to convey. Although her disposition is one of unwavering stoicism, she carries about an air of awkwardness that presents itself in the face of unfamiliarity. Eden doesn't favor surprises - she sticks to what she knows; mental checklists, her thoughts filed and organized in the proper places. It is rather easy for her to become disheveled should those thoughts become disorganized. Although, her panic is never outright expressed or displayed, unless, of course, she is under the scrutiny of a well-trained eye. She is not one particularly looking to command, yet, oftentimes finds herself disgruntled when things fall out of her control. She does not favor taking orders and would prefer to stick to her own decisions; if she ends up down a bad path, hey, at least it was her fault and hers alone.
Her loyalty is something hard earned, but not at all a fickle thing. Eden views much of the world from a pessimistic lens; the notion of people doing any good for the mere sake of it is unfathomable to her. Everyone has an ulterior motive, everyone is looking to gain the upper-hand. Having lived most of her life as a loner, REDACTED, she has adopted this harsh ideology as a means of survival, protection and coping. Although always presenting stoic, she is REDACTED. Despite how logically inclined she seems, she is quick to make assumptions about the intentions of strangers, and even quicker to send them on their way if REDACTED. Her anger, should it arise, is something heavy in the air, like a miasma, and her cold eyes tell it all without her needing to utter a single word. She is intimidating, and not afraid to make one feel unwelcomed. Although she prefers to keep her appearance aloof, it isn’t necessarily a hard accomplishment to anger her. Should her buttons be pressed hard enough, Eden will snap - and if you get her to snap, watch out, she likely won’t hold back.
With her lack of faith and trust in the world, mixed with REDACTED, Eden keeps herself at an emotional berth from everyone. No one is privy to her feelings, especially not REDACTED. There is a caring cat underneath it all, or, rather, a cat who wants to be caring. But, deeper within, she is hurt; scared. She does not enjoy facing the unknown - so terrified is she of REDACTED; it has come at the price of her sense of self-expression and individuality. In her mind, she exists in a separate plane from those around her, merely meant to watch over - not to participate herself. Perhaps, in the end, this is only an excuse made to enable her mindset - to keep the aching emotions at bay, buried deep within the recesses of her soul. REDACTED. If she can view herself through the lens of being “less than ‘human,’” her existence won’t grant her as much suffering. So she thinks.

Strengths
Perceptual Prowess
Due to REDACTED, Eden has become quite alert to her surroundings. She proves to be quick when detecting anything suspicious or unusual - always vigilant, always watching. She hates surprises, so she’ll make certain none ever arise.
Cool in the Face of Danger
Eden’s stoicism is no farce - the threats she encounters are met with eyes of ice and daggers. She refuses to flinch or cower, any sparks of genuine fear are kept nice and bottled within her subconscious. In situations where one may panic, Eden remains level headed.
Mow ‘em Down
With a “no-holds-barred” style of fighting, Eden is a force to be reckoned with. If she wishes to engage in violence she will do so with all she has. Her bottled rage erupts in the moment with a ferocity and strength as magnificent as it is terrifying.
Weaknesses
Speluncaphobia
Eden’s “Achilles heel,” in terms of fears, happens to be caves. She isn’t sure why that is, but she can’t stand to be in them. If she finds herself within a cave, her typical stoicism cracks and she’ll become rather distracted.
Not-so-Prince Charming
Eden’s social skills leave a lot to be desired. Even if she wanted to portray herself in a more amicable or perky demeanor, it feels like an impossibility. Her attempts to socialize are awkward and, perhaps, just a bit off putting.
Double-Edged Sword
Although Eden’s fighting style is rather efficient, once she gets herself going she has difficulty knowing when to stop. Eden doesn’t find much value in herself, therefore, she doesn’t care if she sustains injuries. It’s not that she wishes to die, quite the contrary, but she won’t realize how bad her accumulated wounds are until after a skirmish has concluded.

Memories
Memory 1
Sacrilege
She finds herself shrouded in darkness - an interior that is clammy, narrow, labyrinthine. As familiar to her as the stars are to the skies - but something about the lavish stone formation ahead fills her with a sense of…disdain. Its smooth, gem-like surface reflects the countenance of a young, scared and dejected kitten. The younger version of herself touches her nose to the stone’s cool surface - there’s an expectation that something is supposed to transpire upon her doing so. Yet…nothing answers her touch - silence stretches through her mind and surroundings, something damning. The kitten remains quiet, unwilling to voice the lack of proper outcome - a dreadful, lingering shame prickles hotly at her pelt. She has been forsaken, rejected.. But…by what, exactly? Although it remains unclear, a certain hatred is born and begins its festering within her young mind. A hatred that would never once leave her side.
Memory 2
The Calm of the Storm
Eden wasn’t alone…or, she once wasn’t. Two cats lie nestled on either side of her, their presence calming in the cat whose heart was, otherwise, a never ending storm. She knows in the depths of her heart that they mean everything to her, yet the specifics of who they are elude her. It’s a tranquil moment, three bundles snuggled, purring, happy? Was Eden truly ever…happy? …Who are they? Who? The gaps in this memory frustrate her immensely.
She wants to remember.
She needs to find them.
Memory 3
Vengeful Tempest
Rage, pure and unadulterated, contorts Eden’s typically blank countenance into something monstrous. The cat pinned underneath her unleashed desperate words - she can’t remember what they were, nor who this cat was, but that hardly mattered. An amalgamation of ugly feelings - a remorse, a forced hatred, a longing, fury. It all accumulates as Eden slams her paw, claws unsheathed, down on the helpless individual. The metallic scent of blood fills the air - when her paw rises once more, it’s soaked in red. Eye for an eye.
She speaks, voice stone cold -
“You are nothing to us. If I see you again you will lose more than an eye."
As the other cat wisely chooses to flee, Eden watches. Her emotions, so all-consuming moments ago, have extinguished in their entirety, leaving her empty. Numb. The lasting image of pupils pinpricked in horror is all that’s left.
She wants to scream.
She wants to cry.
Eden remains stoic.
