Eden

***Click here to read her Recollections.***
**Eden** is another member of The Thirteen Flame-Chasers. She is ranked fourth amongst the thirteen, and was once "the brightest star" of the Previous Era. Her codename is "Gold."

## Appearance

Eden has long red hair, which she wears loose. Her eyes match her codename, being a deep yellow. She has a golden hairpin that goes from her left side to the back of her head; its golden chain leads to a brown bow. She also has an earring on that side.

Eden wears a dress akin to a stage costume: the sleeves resemble the Juliet style, it is ornamented with gold, and it has a long and billowy skirt (fit for a dramatic entrance). Her outfit is night brown, with red accents on her sleeves and pendant. The bottom of her skirt is also red. There are also patches of white at her torso and at the end of her sleeves. The latter extends into the shape of a flower, held down by another gold pin. Eden also wears black tights and a black glove on her right hand.

## Personality

Eden is quite calm most of the time. She speaks in soft and velvety tones, with matching kindness. Despite her subdued demeanor, she is confident in her skills. She says she was born a star, and that she's always believed that as long as she kept improving, people would see her brilliance. She is often seen drinking wine.

Being incredibly rich, Eden is able to be really generous. For her, it isn't a big deal to give out gems and gold to those she appreciates (including her fans). After the 7th Herrscher ravaged Australia, she was on the frontline of disaster relief. She even founded an organization for the cause. After this though, she felt her world was gone forever. The fragment of her memory in Elysian Realm still recites lines from her previous performances.

## History

Eden was born and raised in the lost continent of Mu. Not much is said about Eden's past other than her stardom and fall from the spotlight. As a novice, she was very determined to reach the top. Apparently, she was really picky about venues and bookings, which made people think she had a huge ego. She cut ties with the company that managed her and secured a performance on her own.

The first venue she got a spot on was a small one for charity. Some of the people who attended recorded her singing and posted it online, which garnered a lot of attention. Professionals praised her talent, and said she would rise to popularity at some point. There were also critics, of course.

Despite the challenges on her path, Eden did rise to the highest stage. Her generosity and talent brought in more and more fans until she was the biggest name of her time. She lived in extravagant homes, and drank the finest wine, all while improving with each performance. But Honkai ended that life.

She was performing in Sydney's Super Dome when the 7th Herrscher appeared. The fire engulfed the country and the venue. Only Eden and a few others survived. She did her best in the relief work, but deep inside she wished she had died. Her manifestation says as much when talking to Raiden Mei. Without the world of art, she felt there was no need for her existence. Nevertheless, she kept going.

When she was receiving treatment after the disaster, she got to know some MOTH soldiers: including Elysia. Elysia asked her to join them, and she did. Eden thought that even though she couldn't perform anymore, she could still shine bright as a soldier. She wanted to live her life to the fullest until it ended. She decided to participate in the MANTIS program, and asked Elysia to give her the most dazzling Honkai Beast. Normally, this wouldn't be possible, but Elysia said if multiple beasts were compatible with her she might get to choose.

After the fruitless battle against the Final Herrscher, Eden chose not to encapsulate herself in the cryo pods. She firmly believed that she belonged to this era and that she should die with it. She sang one last song as she headed out into the desolate wasteland alone.
