**Eileen Howells** aka **Trisha** is an alternate universe counterpart to the main universe's Eileen, she lives a life that is similar to Martha Crawford's but has switched between two different identities in her universe.

She has made appearances in four HydroVerse mini-comics and was created by Deviant Art user TimeWaster98.

## Appearance

Eileen bares an almost exact resemblance to the main universe counterpart, but this version sports green eyes as opposed to brown.

Her temporary reptilian alter-ego Trisha sports a brownish gold colour scheme with yellow eyes, and sometimes lets her torn clothing remain on her body.

## History

### Early Life

As an 8-year old girl Eileen Howells' parents would die in a car accident, prompting her aunt Harleen to take her in and raise her. Growing up, Eileen would develop an interest in science and biology and she strived to work in the field.

Eileen believed that she could improve human senses, and began experimenting with lizard DNA over the years with the help of her friend Angella Craige. Eileen would eventually develop a serum that she believed was the key to enhanced human senses, she took the serum as a test but nothing happened which lead to her writing the serum off as a failure.

### *Eileen's First Trouble*

After the serum had failed to have any kind of effect, Eileen would grab a bite to eat at a local restaurant until she began experiencing a severe headache. The pain became so severe that she got up from her table and entered the restroom and began sweating from the agony. In the restroom, Eileen underwent a painful transformation into a reptilian creature that called itself Trisha.

### *Eileen's Shoe Trouble*

Eileen has just reverted back into human and has found herself in the dark, rainy alleys of her city home. She ponders to herself about how she worries about the people Trisha had possibly attacked. She also recalls the CCTV footage of Trisha jumping out of a window during the night.

Walking on the nearby street, Eileen makes it to the front steps of her apartment complex and sits down. She continues complaining about how her feet hurt from walking around barefoot and sarcastically wonders where all her shoes went. Eileen enters her apartment and rests her legs on her table, however she suddenly transforms back into Trisha and the lizard recalls to herself how a couple of security guards took a liking to her the previous night.

### *Eileen's Date Trouble*

Eileen prepares to go on a date with her boyfriend David on Halloween night but fears that her reptilian alter-ego may ruin it, so she takes a dose of a serum to keep Trisha at bay. As she gets in the car, Eileen's feet begin to change which causes her to panic and a concerned David to question her behaviour.

Whilst out to dinner Eileen and David have a casual chat, David then drops his fork and bends down to retrieve it. He then notices Eileen's clawed barefeet under the table, he asks her about this. Eileen covers it up by telling him that she was forced into wearing "lizard slippers" after her younger brother hid all of her footwear. As the night goes on, Trisha begins to seep through Eileen's mind.

The two then begin walking down the street holding hands, but David notices a change in the texture of Eileen's skin. Eileen looks at her hand and sees that it is now covered in scales with black claws on her fingertips. Eileen continues covering it up by stating how she slipped on "lizard gloves" to go with her "slippers". The couple come to a park to cap off the night, the two then sit beside one another on a nearby bench.

David looks at Eileen and points out her "contacts" when in reality Eileen's eyes have shifted into that of a reptile. Eileen keeps her composure and mentions how they were expensive. Eileen then becomes more seductive towards David as her teeth have now sharpened, she notices her behaviour and runs off into the nearby bushes. Worried, David tries to follow.

Eileen warns him not to come any closer as she fully transforms into Trisha, she then leaps out of the bushes and onto David. The two land on the bench with Trisha on top, she then asks David if he likes her "costume" to which David suggests showing this side more often. Trisha answers by assuring him that he'll be seeing a lot more of her from now on.

### *Losing Control*

Eileen's good friend Angella would eventually develop a watch-like device that helped keep Trisha's mind at bay. Trisha would manage to break through and cause Eileen to transform after she accidently steps on a rock but this would prove to be futile as Eileen's mind stayed intact while she possessed Trisha's body and abilities.

### Later Life

At some point Eileen would begin her search for proper cure to the Trisha curse she had suffered under for so long, she had heard rumours of a temple holding a fountain of pure cleansing. Eileen sought to find this fountain, and travelled afar to find it.

Eileen would eventually find a cave near where the fountain was spoken of, she entered the cave and discovered depictions of a female entity on the walls inside what looked like the ruins of an ancient temple. Eileen would eventually discover the legendary fountain, with glistening water surrounding it. As she stepped into the water to get a closer look at the design of the fountain, a spirit would slowly transfer from the water into Eileen.

This would lead to Trisha's personality being completely evaporated, and replaced with a newer and more benevolent being called Hurihiko, whom Eileen teamed with to fight crime and protect the innocent under the public-given name of Hydro-Girl.
