## Characteristics

### Mindset

After waking up and seeing that she has a second chance at life, her mindset is that she can honestly do whatever she likes (within reason). Every day is a gift to her and she want's to make the most of what she has left. Since she's not supposed to be alive right now she tends to say and do what drifts into her mind. Effie was initially with the group out of survival as she saw the "Empty" and does not want to get caught up with those on her own. However, this has shifted as she has spent more time and had more moments with her party. She also hates clothes.

As her party comes across more and more terrible things on Conflux, she is 100% wanting to go back to Kalkatesh. She doesn't remember life being as horrible there and is sick of being attacked by new things daily.

### Fighting Style

Effie is a true rogue. She likes to get in, stab, and get the hell out. However, she will stay and either offhand or Analyze if she thinks it is best for the fight. Also, she knows her acrobatics is off the chain. If it seem's like a good play she will ninja flip her way onto enemies to "mount" them which gives her advantage on her attacks. She knows what her job is in the group, even though the group tends to forget they have a rogue.

## Story

### Previous Life

Effie Prentice was a changling who was born on Kalkatesh. Effie was an extremely talented thief who would take commissions or jobs from whomever had the most coin. She has stolen countless artifacts, gems, gold and other magical items with much success. Effie did tend to share her wealth with those less fortunate than her. She attributed part of her success to her relationship with Sekelcuse and felt that he tended to look over her.

On one big job, she was forced to work with another rogue (named Daryl) to get the job done. She tended to be a lone wolf as she felt that other rogues tended to get in her way. She hated having to fix other peoples mistakes. However, this "co-worker" was different. Daryl was sharp and extremely talented and they worked extremely in-sync with each other. They both decided to begin a partnership where they were able to accomplish even larger jobs with each others help.

After a few years of working together, Daryl proposed to Effie. Effie accepted and made Daryl promise they would do one last big job before settling down and starting a family. Daryl agreed and quickly they both got called in to do their biggest heist with the biggest payout yet. This job was easily accomplished by both parties. Once they secured the artifact, Effie went in to give Daryl a kiss where she was met with a dagger to the stomach. Daryl had wanted the whole payout to himself and wanted Effie out of the picture.

### Awakening Arc

The world belongs to Effie. She wants to make most of every day and feels she has a sense of being pretty carefree. If she dies, she dies. If she lives, she lives. Effie also has had a spiritual awakening thanks to Challa and his Chi magic. She believes that doing to chi ritual made her "lucky" and helped her find her Divers Dagger in the river and become an olympic level swimmer. Effie also has a weird mindset when it comes to her sexuality within her vessel. It isn't "her" body and thus doesn't really care too much about anything, especially when it comes to clothing. She also enjoys making Irha uncomfortable and feels exposure therapy will help him.

Ultimately, she feels a kinship with "Goo Guy" (Namalos) as she feels the Taladoni may be the bad guys in the situation. She also want's to restore the dream and help Oun as he shares the same pantheon as Sekelcuse.

During the fight with Labros the Spider, she realized that she actually cares about her traveling companions and made a mental swap from just being with the group out of survival to having a kinship with them.

Effie tries to defuse situations that make her group uncomfortable, without burning bridges with the other party. In a recent situation with a skin grafting salesmen, she went to shake his hand in respect and ended up able to see his true form which caused Fate Eaters to come after the group. Due to Challa tailing the salesmen, he found out that Effie was Fateless and that creatures was after her due to that. After a major battle with the Fate Eaters, Effie was able to see the Primordial Essense for what it truly was. She was able to see the threads of the tapestry of fate and decided to unravel them. This caused a thread to be connected from Effie to the dream and ultimately her god Sekelcuse.
