Eurydice Mephisto, a passionate traveling veterinarian and gunslinger.

*Note: Current information is old and un-updated, taken* *from Eurydice's Character Hub profile.*

## Description

### Appearance

Eurydice is a three foot anthropomorphic chihuahua dogfolk. She has mostly tan fur with a white underbelly and brown spots. She has a missing leg with a metal prosthetic in place of it, made up of scratched black metal and red cloth. She has several scars from her line of work and is missing a pinkie.

She wears a red shirt and has an orange bandana, usually worn as a mask during travel to avoid Sand Lung. Eurydice has black fingerless gloves and black pants, one leg rolled up and pinned in place. She has one brown cowboy boot, but doesn't necessarily need to wear shoes at all.

Eurydice carried a pistol in a holster at her hip, and also has a hunting rifle on her back, usually covered by a poncho. This poncho is dark red with an abstract coyote design on it.

### Personality

Eurydice is a stubborn but generally good-intentioned individual. She's very much of a "the regular-ass guy thrown into a main character" situation.

She is a gunslinger and veterinarian. Eurydice is friendly but can be a bit odd or socially awkward. She is a gunslinger and carries a revolver and rifle, ones she's certainly not afraid to use to defend herself. Working with dragons and dinosaurs, she has had a passion for these beasts ever since she was small.

She has two pets that she is very attached to. A Bounty, a furry jackal-like black wyvern with red gem accents and Coinflip, a coyote she raised from puphood after it was abandoned due to an injury.

## History

### Prior to Hourglass

As a pup, Eurydice got deathly ill, and had a very close brush with death. She was sick for years, only getting worse and worse. Suddenly, she seemed to recover, getting on the up and up. She lost her voice after her illness, unable to speak. Instead, she uses sign language and also uses magic to write text in the air and communicate that way. Not long after she was back on her feet, Lucile, her father, just up and left after uncharacteristic behavior, even returning home covered in blood on occassion.

Now on her own, she made due with what she had and picked herself up.

### Arc One

While working at a local town's roost, packing up and about to leave for the day, a young teenager approached her. Unknowingly, this would send Eurydice into a whole new chapter of her life. Through a turn of events, she was dragged into a party of herself, the teenager who was actually The King Of Hearts (The Kings’ Card), a moonshine smuggler cult leader, a pathetic middle-aged divorced sheriff, and a demigod sheriff with an odd moral compass. Clearly, quite the adventure awaits.

Through many challenges and struggles, Eurydice discovered the circumstances of her father's disappearance. The Doctor, an entity known for helping folks cheat fate or even Death, at a very steep cost. Lucile had turned into a sort of beast, a husk of who he was with a bloodlust. He gave up his heart to revive Eurydice, who had actually died in her sickness (and did not know she was undead). While he did get his daughter back, he did end up losing himself, losing everything.

At the end, the gunslinger ends up face to face with the Doctor alone in his office-warehouse, filled with organs and lives lost. And now, she has to get Lucile's heart to return to him and bring him back to his sanity. Terrified but determined, Eurydice ends up shooting The Doctor, grabbing the jar with her father's heart and managing to outrun him. She escaped, rejoining the party and taking off back to the last known location of her father. Lucile's heart held close, she managed to put it back in his chest, with the help of her medical experience and the arcane circumstances.

### Arc Two

Eurydice left after the end of Arc One, citing an intention to not risk losing her father again and wanting to return to the normal, or as close to normal, life she had. She has a lot of catching up to do. She kept in contact with Ephyra through occasional letters. She otherwise has not made any appearance in the main campaign since.

## Relationship

### Lucile Mephisto

> "My dad was a really good man. But he loved me. And apparently that cost him." - *Eurydice about Lucile, to Percy.*
>
>

Lucile is her father. She has a very close relationship with him once again and is very protective of him.  She speaks highly of him. He was a street musician as Eurydice grew up, teaching her how to play the Lyre, his instrument of choice. He always wanted what was best for her, even as a single dad. She was named after Lucile's wife, whom she never got to meet. They had to travel almost constantly, only staying in one town for at most a few weeks. Eurydice still did get an education, homeschooled with what Lucile could manage to get and taught other life skills that would serve her well. However, living like that did make her a bit socially awkward, but certainly passionate.

### Yellow Sun / Ephyra

> "Text." - *Text*
>
>

Ephyra is a sheriff of Corinth and a demigod of the Shining Sun, the sun goddess. She is Eurydice's best friend. Ephyra is a very dangerous woman but tries her best, wanting to make Eurydice proud. She has a habit of attacking or killing anyone she deems evil by an odd moral compass. She genuinely does want to try to be good though, wanting to please Eurydice by thinking before she draws a blade. Ephyra has a very strange moral compass and tends to see very black and white, wanting to erase evils.

### Percy

> "Maybe we'll get to be normal together, someday." - *Eurydice to Percy*
>
>

Percy is the king of hearts, part of the criminal group; The Kings' Cards. He keeps this a secret though, and is only 16 years old. His father, the previous king of hearts, died and now Percy takes his place. Eurydice knows him as a shy and odd teenager, and feels very protective of him. She views him as a little brother.

### Selene Nantucket

> "Yeah, I'm sure. I'm just your redemption arc." - *Eurydice to Selene.*
>
>

Eurydice hates Selene Nantucket. He hurt Percy at some point, was generally an asshole to everyone, caused a lot of problems, and other things. He is a moonshine smuggler and cult leader, following the moon. Eurydice doesn't like him and will try to avoid the man. They left on decent enough terms for her to consider their relationship fine and not needing to talk to one another again.

### Judith

> "Text." - *Text*
>
>

Judith was not a party member but still important. Judith is a snake oil salesmen and you can certainly trust all of her products no question. Please don't ask questions. She is an anthropomorphic snow leopard tabaxi who is a wanted criminal, not that Eurydice minds. They've only met once and had a positive interaction, the two of them having a pleasant conversation. Eurydice thinks very highly of him and has a crush on Judith, regardless if she admits it or not.

## Trivia

* Eurydice is a Jr. and is named after Eurydice Sr., her supposed-to-be mother.
* Eurydice's original concept had a ponytail. She was also lighter and had white spots, more like deer. It was changed in order to make her look closer to her father.
* Eurydice originally used It/Its pronouns along with She/Her but this changed later in Arc One.
