Profile
Elysia "Red" Pendragon is the protagonist of Project Eden. She is the current wielder of the God Stone.
Appearance
Red is a young woman of short stature. She is built curvaceous, with an hourglass figure. She has the body that would make most people assume she gets around. What people notice the most about her is her bust. It is nearly impossible for her to escape cleavage unless she wears higher necklines. She is very much fit, however, despite the excess fat. However, post-fusion, her arm and belly fat is burned away due to her increased metabolism.
Red has straight black hair, that gains crimson streaks post-fusion. It's on the longer side, reaching down to the bottom of her shoulder blades. There is a high concentration of streaks in her bangs, which are parted to the side, almost getting into her eyes. She has a light complexion, but tans fairly easily. Her eyes are ocean blue, but post-fusion, her right eye has become red. On both of her ears she has lobe and two rim piercings. On her nose, she has a left nostril piercing she tends to wear studs in. She also has a variety of scars and is no stranger to stretch marks.
Red has a very punk/grunge fashion sense. You will only find her not wearing a leather jacket in the summer. She prefers dark and warm colors. Unsurprisingly, she mostly wears red and black. In the winter, she tends to wear flannels, t-shirts (especially band ones), skinny jeans, and combat boots. In the summer, she prefers tank tops, crop tops, shorts, and sneakers. For pajamas, she keeps it simple with tank tops and shorts. She always wears a sports bra to bed, as it's more comfortable for her.

Red is best described as intense. She is passionate about everything, which can give off an intimidating presence. She easily comes off as heartless to those who do not know her well, and her vengeful attitude does not help. She has a tendency to be apathetic, keeping her distance from others out of fear of becoming attached. She cares much more than she lets on. She is very emotional, which usually leads to mood swings and a tendency to brood. Due to her BPD, she experiences emotions intensely and often overreacts to situations because of it. She has a wicked temper, often becoming angry over things that should not trigger such a reaction. Her anger is one of her greatest weaknesses.
Even though she may be broody and distant, once she becomes attached to someone, Red is loyal to a fault. Her friends and family are her life. She will do anything to keep those she cares about safe, even if it means damning herself and the world. Personal loyalty is her fatal flaw—something she is very aware of. She is very self-aware in general, but she knows this is her greatest weakness, and that is why she tries to avoid forming bonds. But to those she does open up to, she shows her fondness through teasing and playful banter. She also loves simple displays such as hugs and hand holding. Red is surprisingly affectionate and likes to pamper her loved ones with gifts.
Despite how emotional she can be, Red is quite intelligent. She is more interested in hands-on learning and working with her hands rather than studying and attending classes. She does enjoy reading, even if she struggles to focus on it. She loves technology—especially computers. Most of the time, she doesn't seem all that smart, due to her recklessness and restlessness. She tries to use this to her advantage, as she often is underestimated. Though she may not be particularly book smart, she is street smart. She knows how to manipulate people through words alone, and how to dig out information she is searching for. She is pragmatic to a fault.
Red is very confident in herself, and tries not to be arrogant about it. She is very sure of her body image and identity. While she may believe herself to be an awful human being, she knows who she is and will stand by it. She has very conflicting views about herself, both loving and hating herself at the same time. She considers herself completely nonredeemable. Her appearance is very important to her, not out of vanity, but as her one way to express who she is and distance herself from her past. The only aspect of herself she isn't conflicted about is her sexuality. She is proud to love women and is not shy about expressing it.

Skills & Abilities
History
Eldest daughter of Xavier Pendragon and Diana Hyde. Elysia possesses a vast amount of potential. She has an IQ of 155, but has been held back due to ADHD and dyslexia.
Born shortly after her parents’ marriage, Elysia was both a prodigy and a problem. Records say that she was incredible active even for her age, and “literally could not sit still." She talked excessively, though her ramblings displayed her keen mind. She also was slow at developing skills such as reading and writing. Eventually, she would be diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, which explained her behavior and delay in development.
Despite her struggles, Elysia had a happy early childhood. As a baby, she spent all of her time with her mother. She even played her mother’s baby on her TV show. As a toddler, she was initially sent to daycare. However, the daycare workers could not handle her rambunctiousness. Instead, her father brought her to work with him. The employees grew to love her and took good care of her. It was an understatement to say she was spoiled. She did have her bratty moments, but she was an angel to people she liked.
In 1998, her father had to leave the country on a business trip. He asked his brother, Basile, to look after his wife and daughter. Basile moved into the mansion to do just that. Not long after, her mother discovered she was pregnant. Nine months later, Elysia’s baby sister Clarisse was born, five years after her. Elysia did not take well to losing her status as an only child, but as time went on, she grew attached to her sister. In 2000, her father returned from his two year long business trip. Her uncle left, and family life returned to normal.
In 2001, the Pendragons moved to Tokyo, Japan, to aid their family during a transitional time. Records say that Elysia struggled even more in Japanese schools and clashed with both her teacher and principal. The Pendragons returned to New York in 2004.
The holiday season of 2006, her parents invited her uncle over to celebrate with them. One day, when Elysia and her sister returned home from Christmas shopping with their mother, Elysia found her father dead. In the chaos that followed, her mother asked Basile to remain with them to help her handle the aftermath. He agreed.
In 2011, Diana married Basile. That same year, Elysia dropped out of high school and ran away from home. She was not present for the birth of her half-brother/cousin, Byron.
Not much else is recorded of Elysia's life after that. She formed a gang called the Dragon Girls and quickly grew in infamy to be known as the “Crimson Dragon”. She has multiple felonies on her record.
