Eranthis (Hideki)

## Appearance

As a changeling, Eranthis' true form looks gangly and skeletal. With hollow cheeks and featureless milk eyes, they look similar to a ghost of some kind. Due to their long standing self-loathing, it took months of knowing Diandra to allow her to see their true form. However during the infiltrator witch hunt, allowed themselves to be revealed under a moonbeam to prove their trustworthiness. They are never willingly seen in this form otherwise.

For the most part, despite Eranthis' curse affecting their changing, they at least keep one consistent base form to shift into after making a major change (the above scenarios). This being a young adult Elf with androgynous features. They keep their hair long reaching all the way to their lower back in a dark brown shade (if their curse doesn't affect the color much). Their eyes in this form are usually a warm honey-like gold, and their skin is a warm shade of tan.

In terms of height, they retain the same measurements from their true form, only changing the proportions of their appendages to seem less disproportionate and lanky. They also filled out most places that would otherwise give them a sickly look.

Currently, they retain silver hair from previously trying to prove their genuineness to Diandra, forgetting to change it back to brown since it was a bother to. Due to the moonbeam incident, their curse made it so that they have the following features:

* Genasi (Fire): Silver hair gradients to black smoky hair, arms and legs covered in charcoal skin, flickering orange eyes.

In terms of clothing Eranthis has been seen wearing:

* A faded green long-sleeve blouse with ruffles along the collar under their leather armor. Off white pants, leather boots, a darker green ribbon used to tie their hair in a low ponytail.
* A pastel pink silk top with 3/4 sleeves under a dark blue adamantine breastplate with ribcage motif with a similar material ribbon tied around the midsection. Tan silk pants, under knee length boots of sandstealth, same green ribbon used to tie their hair in a high ponytail.

### Past Appearances

Due to the nature of Eranthis' curse affecting their shifting, they have donned many additional features over their elven base.

* Tiefling: blue hair(heterogenous mix), dark sclera, patches of purple skin
* Half-orc: tusks, gray skin, black hair (homogenous mix with brown)
* Half-orc\*: Changed their black hair to silver, but with this caused stripes. (like tiefling blue)

Prior to joining Project Hex, Eranthis has taken the form of:

* A female tiefling: mixed with human features
* A male black dragonborn: with fur from a tabaxi
* On several different occasions: Orcs and Half-orcs while in their tribe while studying.

## Personality

[work in progress as i reevaluate era's longhouse and in game personalities :') ]

Noted to be very passive aggressive, a trait only showcased after the appearance of ?Karen? (Bread) to Eden, who instigated chaos when talking negatively about Deniase Heirlaen (Bread), and proceeded the following adventure to nearly ruin Shala and Vyn'synner (Abner).

## Belongings

### Trinkets

* **Midnight blue cloak** - decorated in intricate handmade embroidery of stars and flourishes. When Eranthis first obtained the cloak, it was half finished. Taking it upon themselves they did the rest of the cloak, giving it an uneven look from the slightly off thread they had used, but for the most part it is indistinguishable from afar. They added more twilight motifs, as the stars resonated in their heart more and more with each stitch.
* **Wedding ring from Farandia** - a simple gold wedding band given to Eranthis after officiating the wedding between two deceased lovers who had lived nearly 30 years apart despite being close by, anguishing over the lost chance to marry. Now it is in the hands of Diandra, as a keepsake and reminder (in place of a future ring they planned to have made.

### Mundane Items

* **Dren's Cooking Utensils** - after the minotaur passed during the battle with the spider queen, Eranthis took up the utensils seeing as no one else picked them up.

### Magical Items

* **Boots of Sandstealth**- granted by the Scorpion King after doing him a favor. (Taking his boots back from the giant constrictor living near his oasis)
* **Cloak of Many Fashions** - gifted by Diandra so that Eranthis may still wear their treasured cloak without treat of damaging it.
* **Breathing Bubble** - given by the Brazzinga women after helping them hold back a sahuagin invasion
* **Adamantine Armor** - found in the cave at 02, 03 within the sahuagin hatchery worn by who assumed to have been part of Captain Mizyf's crew. (Was **not** pleasant to be forced into)
* **Wand of Dragon Needles** - As thanks for helping the Scorpion King with his curse, saying it will help the adventuring party protect the land.
* **Amulet of Kumiho** - taken from Shidate after fighting the Kumiho maidens. Eranthis has mixed feelings about taking it after the damage they and their party did, but it is a very helpful item.
* **Viol of Illusions** - (Instrument of Illusions) gifted by Diandra as a mentoring gift, they usually use this Viol to pass the time.

## Relationships

Dren (Omac) - a minotaur fighter they had gone on their first expedition with. They did not talk often, but the boisterous mino will be missed.

Diandra Vali (Kurt) - Eranthis' lover and best friend. While still very secretive due to their discomfort remembering their past, they have confided a lot in her already.

Deniase Heirlaen (Bread) - Another close friend of Eranthis, one who made them feel welcomed into the new world. They have many regrets from his untimely demise, but live on regardless.
