> Affectionate, free-spirited, childish, clingy, temperamental.
Eden is an extremely friendly individual. Even though she is a person of little words at first, her presence is most likely noticed by the chiming of her bells, she gets along with others easily. Although a bit unaware of her size and with a general lack of sense of personal space, it can be a bit much when she’s around. Loves to cuddle and will just.. cling on to people, especially friends.
Usually found roaming the forests of Themba, sticking close to her hometown though not staying in one place for long. A bit mischievous and loves to play tricks, nothing actually malicious but just enough to get a laugh out of the situation. Despite her sometimes child-like behavior she keeps a close eye on the woods and nature around her, with a knack for finding things or those that are lost.
Her mood can change like the weather though, easily upset by small things. Anger or sadness overtaking her quickly and heavily expressed. And her later more solitary life might leave her social manners lacking a bit but if you can deal with the whirlwind of emotions you have found a very loyal friend.
History
Childhood
Growing up in Xester is usually rather quiet and for this little canid creature it was no different, for the most part anyway. She grew up in a druid community which was very dedicated to The House of Roaring Tempest. Kids within the community would be raised pretty much by all the adults and someone with the assigned role of Teacher.
Eden was always a bit of a scrappy kid. She always had a curious nature and a habit for getting into trouble. Often found standing up to older kids who would pick on the younger ones, fighting back with her fists, which would result with bruises, bloody noses and her being scolded. It didn’t deter her though, believing very much that you had to stand up for those who couldn’t stand up for themselves. For Eden this brought her best friend, and adopted sibling, Neve. A much younger little snow owl/rabbit mix who always clung to her and she cared for greatly.
Teen/Young adulthood
In her teen years she grew out of bloody noses and scrapes. However it brought on a new challenge. Her family had always been rather in tune with spirits. Being able to communicate with them freely was considered quite the honor. So when she started being able to hear the voices you would expect her to be elated. Instead it overwhelmed her. Not being able to control the magic yet to communicate back, it would cloud her mind and cause severe anxiety. For years she tried to suppress and ignore it, pretending she couldn’t hear any of it at all and overtime it made her usually happy chatter turn into silence. The only place she would be able to find peace was away from the town, deeper into the forest. The feeling of the leaves under feet, wind through her hair and the general sounds of nature always help her regain a sense of self. If only it would help with completely keeping the voices out.
It wasn’t until Teacher confronted her. Running away from the problem wasn’t going to help her, so with a stern voice he reminded her that she should face her problems head on like she had in her childhood. Face the voices like you faced those bullies. Easier said than done. Bullies you could see and punch.. voices.. What was she supposed to do with voices she didn’t want to hear? But then it clicked. Listen. What she had to do was listen. It didn’t come easily or quickly but with much training over the years she was finally able to control the magic that allowed her to listen, and now speak in return, to these spirits.
Now
While her problems now seemed solved, the habits picked up through it stayed with her. With a big love for going wherever the wind would take her. Not to worry though, she always returns back to Xester, she couldn’t leave Never alone for too long now could she?
Combat Info
Autumnal Winds
House of Roaring Tempest
A flurry of multicolored leaves swirl around the user making them harder to target with spells. The strong winds can be controlled from a pleasant breeze to an oppressing storm. Physical attacks can still make their way through though anyone entering melee range takes minor damage. The damage is continued overtime as the leaves swirl around, cutting and harming the opponent unless they leave melee range again.
Path of The Mother
House of Roaring Tempest
Starting from the feet of the user, plants around them will start growing wildly beyond their natural size or speed. Depending on the plants around them it has a different effect, if multiple are around the user can choose to focus on just one but not multiple at once.
- Grass: Blooms in a circle even if there was none before, leaving a soft comfortable patch that keeps green for a long time.
- Flowers: Double in size, enhancing their scent. When plucked they wilt faster than they normally would.
- Weeds/Bramble: Makes the surrounding terrain hard to get through for anyone in the radius. Prickling and causing minor harm when walked through.
- Roots: Tree roots shoot up from underground, covering the feet of anyone nearby. Trapping them in place.
- Crops: Grow faster than usual, leaving them ready to harvest! Though not as tasty as if they would’ve grown naturally.
Voices of Lost Souls
Palace of Moonlit Memories
The user is able to communicate with the spirits of the area for a short period, linking their minds. Allowing the user to regain calm and gain knowledge. If spent too long communicating or with too many spirits at once the calming effect reverses, leaving the user with a panicked feeling instead. It does not work if there are no spirits nearby.
Relationships
Father
Biological Father - He/Him
Eden and their father are pretty close. She greatly respects his hardworking nature even in his older age now. While the Teacher took the main role in raising her, her father was still incredibly involved. She can still count on his council now, even though they don't see each other as often these days.
Teacher
Druid Community Parent - They/them
She looks up to them a lot, even though she is taller than them, and regards them like she would a parent. Strict but fair.
Druid Elder
Community Leader - She/Her
The main person who guides the druid community. Extremely wise and watchful. Eden used to fear them a little bit back when she was a kid and would get scolded but as she grew up she found it came from the intense love and care she feels for their community. Reports back to her whenever she finds anything concerning in the forest.
