Perdix Vaida is a kind hearted soul who resides on the side of Utopia, fighting for the God of Creation. She truly just wants to find her own peace in this world, but just unfortunately keeps getting dragged into wars, over and over again.

## Appearance

Perdix is a big lady, with a bit of a broader build. She has wavy, dark purple hair that she usually wears in a large braid, usually put up with a golden elastic or clip. She has dark red skin that is littered with white freckles, leading most people to often compare her to a strawberry. She has a decent amount of scarring from her time in The Coliseum, some on her stomach, chest, legs, but mostly, her face. This eventually led to her wearing a magenta mask that looks similar to a half faced gas mask, but instead of the usual circular canisters on the sides, there are large, golden tusks instead. This mask also has a pink strip going down the middle that splits off into a sort of fork after passing through the middle, which has a circle with a half black and half baby pink sort of wavy pattern. She also has large, black wings that look similar to that of an angel.

She is usually seen wearing a cropped, short sleeved grey shirt with quite a large ***boob window,*** the shirt being bordered with black and white stripes. She also has long, dark grey pants.

## Personality

Perdix is the type of person to look very scary and tough, but then in reality just be an absolute cinnamon roll. She’s quite nervous and unsure about a lot of things, and pretty stammery, especially if she doesn’t really know the person she’s talking to. She has a soft spot for animals and plants, and it isn’t uncommon to find her just sitting and looking at a flower, for like… A long time. She’ll do anything to keep the people she cares about safe, and as much as she hates killing, she is very capable of it. She also keeps journals of her experiences in order to keep track of everything and help her own mental health.

## Lore

### Pre-Eternity SMP

Perdix was born into and grew up in the nether, and where she was from, it was customary for everyone to know how to at least handle a sword. With silverfish, piglins, skeletons, and all sorts of creatures lingering, you could never be too sure of where it was safe. One day, Perdix was sparring with a dummy, and a man named Xander approached her, commenting on her remarkable swordsmanship. She was nervous, as one is, but thanked him. The two struck up a conversation, and one thing led to another. Eventually, Perdix found herself dating this man. Things seemed good.

But over time, things began to go a little downhill. Xander began to consistently point out Perdix’s flaws. Her anxiety, the way she got soft for nether plants and any sort of small creatures, and he eventually took advantage of these things, using them against her. Made her feel microscopic, like a stain under his boot.

It wasn’t until a year or two later that it got really bad. That he truly tricked her for everything she had ever had.

One day, some people approached Xander with an offer, while he was in their little village with Perdix, watching her spar. They stated something along the lines of, “The people in this village seem to have quite the talent when it comes to weaponry. We would like to recruit a few for our arena, The Coliseum. Fighters like these could make us a lot of money, and we certainly won’t let you miss out on any of the benefits. Do you know anyone who may be interested?”

Xander pondered this for a moment, then looked to Perdix with eyes of greed, stating in response, “I think I know JUST the person.”

After some forms were signed, Xander took Perdix to The Coliseum, telling her, “Just one fight, babe. It’ll make us so much money and you’ll be free to go afterwards.” Perdix, not knowing how to say no to people, reluctantly agreed.

She went in and fought a fight, which ended in bloodshed. Perdix did not quite realize that this was a ‘fight to the death’ situation, so she was a little traumatized, to say the least. After the battle ended, she was eager to go home and probably cry herself to sleep idk, only to be stopped by guards at the entrance. The guards told her she was here to stay, and Perdix found herself very confused. She looked to Xander, and by the sly grin on his face, she knew this was his plan all along.

She found herself unable to leave, and she was forced to fight every day. She wasn’t expected to last long, but she ended up besting almost every fighter there. However, since she was already on the bad side of the owners, they didn’t bother to try and get on her good side by treating her well, as they did with most of the upper classed fighters who brought in a good buck for them. They treated her like an unwanted, wild animal, and she was miserable. The crowds deemed her ‘Ghost’, due to her fast movements and the way she could slice through an opponent like a ghost going through a wall.

The conditions Perdix was kept in were awful. When she wasn’t fighting, she was kept in a cell that was similar to that of a jail cell, with a dirt floor, ratty notebooks that she was given every few months as a ‘reward’ (which she used as personal journals/diaries), a small cot, and a small toilet and sink to wash up in.

One day, after a long time of Perdix just being alone, a new fighter came in, and she was forced to share a cell with them. She ended up becoming quite close with them, the pair tending to each other’s wounds and bonding over crappy experiences. This new fighter’s name was Wither.

Wither learned of all the stuff Perdix had been through, and grew sympathetic for her. They came up with a plan with Perdix to escape The Coliseum, and Perdix was reluctant due to the dangers and risks of it all, but accepted.

Their plan executed late, after all the fighting had gone down for the day. Wither created a distraction by causing chaos in the middle of The Coliseum, causing all the guards to go flocking to them. Perdix used this opportunity to get to the door, remembering that Wither had promised they had a plan to escape with them shortly after.

However, upon getting to the door, Perdix turned to look at Wither, hoping to see them emerging and running after her. However, dhe only saw Wither struggling under the guards, but not fighting to escape. Perdix knew Wither well enough to know when they were actually trying or not. But by then, it was too late.

Perdix stared in wide eyed horror as Wither turned to her with a saddened smile, mouthing a simple ‘I love you’ before a guard punched them in the face. Perdix could only watch in horror as a guard took out a crossbow, and ended the life of the one person who had truly cared for her.

Despite her usual delusion, Perdix could see that Wither was gone, and that it was far too late to save them. So she turned and she ran, tears welling up in her eyes.

But then the moment she ran free, she was pulled in by a new deity, to fight in a new war…
