Eira

Female

She/her

August 11th (Leo)

Asexual, but heteroromantic

Temperamental

Eira tends to be a hot or cold kind of friend. She swings between extremes in her emotions and tends to respond to others accordingly. Eira is quite stubborn and a bit difficult to get close to as she can be dismissive of others as "not worth her time." Once she has deemed someone worthy of her friendship, she can be quite intense and at times overwhelming. However, when she is in a good mood she will frequently be quite generous with her friends, lavishing them with gifts and attention. In spite of her tendency to push others away, she truly just wants to find someone that honestly loves her in spite of her flaws.

Eira enjoys exploring her creativity through fashion, creating bold, one-of-a-kind new styles for her (and occasionally her friends) to wear out into the world. As part of this, she has learned how to sew her own clothing. Eira frequently practices her sketching, mostly drafting designs but occasionally creating detailed portraits of herself and those close to her.

Eira feels the need to always be perfectly dressed for any occasion, and will spend hours picking out the proper outfits for new experiences. Eira also refuses to wear her hair in a natural color, as she believes this to be too plain of a style and not befitting of her colorful outfits.

Eira has a soft spot for romantic comedies! She likes to watch them at least once a week while eating strawberries and whipped cream.

Eira comes from a very restrictive household, one where self-expression was limited. When she tried to make her style a bit brighter, bored of her uninspired outfits and surroundings, her new clothes were taken from her. Eira felt stifled in her home and sought another outlet for her creativity. She learned to sketch so her ideas and colors could be kept safe. She filled page after page with styles she wished she could wear. In order to keep her true intentions for sketching hidden, she learned to draw portraits to show her family when they asked what she was doing. Eira eventually picked up a job in a fabric store when she was a teenager, finding an escape in all of the bright bolts and the friendly owner, Yessenia. When Yessenia once caught a glimpse of Eira's outfit sketches, she offered to teach Eira how to sew and gifted her some fabric. Yessenia nurtured Eira, helping her realize her dreams and providing Eira a safe space to learn and be herself. Together they worked out a plan for Eira to leave home and find a place she could belong. As soon as Eira turned 18, she left and never looked back. She first dyed her hair the day after she left home, and now continues to do so while wearing her unique clothing as a symbol of her freedom. Eira now views Yessenia as a mother figure as well as one of her closest friends, and often consults her for advice on anything and everything.

Eira owns a sun conure named Louis that she's kept for five years. Whenever Eira is stressed she plays with Louis and he is always quick to calm her down and make her smile.
