## Character

### **Personality**

Echo is extremely charming and affable, and sweet in a way that endears herself to others. She is kind and considerate, and has a gentleness that gives her a healing presence. That said, this kindness belies her internal strength and determination. While usually an amenable girl, Echo is determined when it comes to her core beliefs and is stubborn with the sort of persistence that wears a boulder down to a river stone. After interacting with Echo for an extended period of time, one would come to the realization that yes, this is the kind of girl who would someday travel across Italy under immense stress for her loved one, even if she has to undergo all sorts of trials and scale over insurmountable tasks. Echo is able to overcome such trials because she doesn't go through them alone. On her own, Echo is a capable girl able to face her challenges, but her greatest strength is her love and faith in people around her. This ability allows her to draw strength from her community and find motivation to continue striving forward. Furthermore, Echo is a girl who is willing to ask for, and accept help from people around her. She knows that the journey she faces is fraught and that people are greater when they help each other. Growing up in Tegucigalpa meant that Echo values the importance of her small community. At home, Echo easily helps others and just as readily accepts the help returned. This is why Echo finds it hard to adjust to Ever After High. Not only is high school already intimidating to any teen, Ever After High is also a whole new world of legacies and destinies. But most importantly, Echo's countries away from everyone at home. School is an overwhelming amount of things to get used to, especially coming from a story where her cousins are “royalty”. Echo is best known for her air of confidence and optimism. The majority of the time, Echo comes off as a quiet and tranquil soul. When paired with other people, she's the one who tends to fade into the background, being far less vocal in large conversations.

Being left out of conversations isn't something she minds much since her attention tends to wander. She will only be half-listening most of the time, leading to her frequently missing key information. Very chill, but easily distracted. She likes to make jewelry, especially out of natural things. She's pretty gullible, but is social, flitting from friend group to friend group. However she's not one to make many personal connections, and is bad at remembering names so you'll be lucky if she does. She gives gifts freely to anyone, home-made crafts in particular. She cannot imagine why anyone would dislike autumn ever. Echo is a very shy and polite girl. She is very eager to try and make friends. She's initially portrayed as insecure, doubting her ability to help her allies, however Echo has become more confident and brave as time goes on, and she always tries to be of help wherever she can. Echo has a love of riddles and learning the unknown⎯quite mysterious herself, and tends to use her favorite Disney character's signature quote a lot, "Curiouser and curiouser!". She is highly intelligent and has a very honest personality, is "direct and open with her emotions", and is easily swayed by the people around her. She can be spontaneous and "very ditzy", possibly mad. Echo can also be quite carefree and reckless, she seems to be indifferent to certain things. Often daydreaming during class. Though playful, she can be quite serious at times. When it came to winning the different types of games, Echo cast aside her smile, adopting a serious persona in which she stated she would lead her team to victory, taking charge and giving out orders. Echo was once given the epithet Mad Tactician, as she led her team to many victories thanks to her exceptional skill in making strategies during battles. However, Echo can miscalculate a strategy every now and then, and upon learning one was a failure, she usually doesn't take it well. She is described to act timid and shy to those who don't know her personally but becomes quite eccentric once comfortable. Echo is somewhat insecure about her skin, having been bullied for having vitiligo by kids in her old school, but she is learning to become more confident about her body

### **Appearance**

Echo is often described as a young seventeen year old girl of Afro-Honduran and Bolivian descent with vitiligo patches on her skin, green eyes like grass and blonde hair in an afro held up by a headband with a floral design. Echo is often seen wearing a white shirt, pink overalls, and brown boots
