Eden is an adult female Rainwing.

## Personality

First things first, Eden is a sweetheart. She’s very sensitive to the emotions of others and in her eyes, no one’s unimportant. Regardless of what you may think of it, Eden is, at her core, a ‘bleeding heart’ kind of person. Gentle-hearted and mellow, Eden does not usually come across as very intimidating, even if it may benefit her in certain situations. And, beyond that, Eden also has a tendency to speak in a more hushed, ‘whispery’ voice and tends to be quite dreamy, which often makes her come across as a bit of an airhead.

Which isn’t entirely wrong, even if Eden isn’t completely stupid or oblivious. Eden does indeed have the tendency to get caught up in hypotheticals, sometimes slow to really understand things, as well as being quite ‘exaggerated’ when it comes to expressing particularly strong emotions. She does have the tendency to tear up when she’s feeling something strongly, so Eden also gives off the impression of being a bit of a crybaby.

It’s also not so uncommon to think of Eden as childish and naive. She’s optimistic and always wants to believe in the good of people, so she’s easily forgiving and trusting…and this is also in part due to Eden’s low opinion of herself. She struggles with establishing her own boundaries, and even if Eden is still angry and hurt with someone, she often pushes herself to forgive them whether it’s deserved or whether or not she’s ready to do so. She tends to try to take on the role of being the ‘caretaker’ in a group, and as such Eden often neglects her own needs and wants. She always feels as if she’s wasting time if she’s not carrying some sort of burden that belongs to someone else. For all the love she has to give, Eden would always give that to other people before she thinks of giving it to herself.

She’s sensitive, and tends to believe too much of people. Eden is deeply sentimental and holds on to her childhood ideals and values, always trying to look for the silver lining somewhere even when she knows she has to admit there isn’t. She is prone to viewing the world and the people in it with a romanticized view, even if Eden knows and would acknowledge that it’s just not like that. Deep down, Eden’s really just afraid that everything she’s lived and stood for would mean nothing at all in the end.

Still, Eden has a deep, deep hatred for being infantilized and patronized by other people. She hates it when she feels like other people are being condescending to her, as if they’re underestimating what she could really do. Eden can be spiteful when it comes to this kind of thing, as Eden at least just wants people to take her seriously. Though Eden is patient and would not immediately harshly berate someone for treating her in such a way, Eden would do everything in her power to prove them wrong.

Regardless of what one may think of her, Eden is dedicated to her duties. She is reliable and faithful, and when Eden promises she’ll do something she would rather die than fail to go through with her promise. Eden is trustworthy and sincere. And beyond that, Eden is also a perceptive, fast thinker in dire situations and is often able to see solutions to a problem that may not be obvious right away.

There’s no doubt that Eden is a fast learner when given the incentive to learn. She’s passionate and cares deeply for what she does, and is determined to both prove and improve herself whenever possible, always pushing herself to surpass her own limits. And despite Eden’s tendency to let others off easily when they target her self-esteem, she is stubborn and loyal when it comes to her loved ones and her ideals. Eden refuses to ever turn her back on who or what she believes in.

She has a deep desire to connect with other people, to see if she could understand herself the way they may understand her. And, as such, perhaps Eden’s greatest and truest value to herself lies in the same traits that others may think less of her for: her compassion. Eden is a deeply loving person, nurturing and always willing to help bring out the best in others.
