"*Jesus christ. I can't do it. I can't take it anymore. I can't go back home. I can't go into my mines. I can't do anything anymore but slowly try and build something under the frozen ocean. And it's all because of two little pixels. TWO PIXELS. TWO WHITE PIXELS.*"
— The mad ramblings of the first person to have photographed White Eyes in the 21st century.

"*I sense much potential in you, young one. I can feel it. Your hatred, anger... vengeance. I know that same desire. When I gaze on the scum of this earth, I look into their eyes before their life flows into me, and feel nothing... but contempt. (she'd turn around and start to scuttle away) Come with me, my child. If you wish to settle your blight with humanity, you have much to learn.*"
— White Eyes motivating Herobrine into accepting who he is and to let her teach him.

**White Eyes** is a minor antagonist in the *Universal Rift* series, serving as the tritagonist of *His Legend Untold - The Tragic Tale of Herobrine*.

She is an immortal, skeletal-spider-like abomination created centuries ago by an ambitious evoker as the product of an experiment to control life and death, becoming an urban legend that roams dark caves, using it as her hunting grounds to stalk, mentally break and kill humans to devour their souls for sustenance. In the present day, White Eyes befriended and mentored the newly-resurrected Herobrine by teaching him how to be an adept and efficient stalker and killer, helping establish him as the fearsome ghost he's remembered as.

## Biography

### Background

White Eyes' origins can be traced back to the year 1875 in North America. During this time period, an evoker named Endorphine had been experimenting with the power of life and death by conducting experiments utilising rituals and dark magic, much like their colleagues. Compared to the other evokers, Endorphine was far more focussed, determined and smug, preferring to isolate themselves in caves to conduct their experiments as they believed themselves to be brimming with more potential. Similar to how the Ancient Builders had utilised soul sand to create the Wither, Endorphine utilised the charred bones of deceased humans for their newest creation, merging the bones with the essence of spiders they had captured.

Through magical rituals involving powerful dark magic and a totem of undying to bring their experiment to life, Endorphine successfully managed to give life to their creation as it emerged from the darkness of the cave; a charred, soot-covered, black, six-legged skeletal monstrosity with the body of a spider and the torso and head of a human skeleton with an exposed ribcage and glowing white eyes. As Endorphine admired their creation stepping out from the shadows, the creature hungered for life and after a few seconds of analysing its surroundings, turned its attention to its creator. Without a second thought, the entity menacingly approached Endorphine as their expression morphed from excitement to dread, before the creature pounced on Endorphine and ripped its creator to shreds before devouring their soul, giving it the sustenance it needed and the carnal satisfaction it desired. The creature quickly dashed from the cave, leaving its creators' corpse to rot in the cave from whence it was created.

Following its consumption of its creator, the skeletal spider continued to seek out humans as prey to devour, primarily hunting through dark caves and foggy forests to locate humans to stalk from the trees and dark areas of the caves. Within time, it grew a reputation as people began photographing the figure within caves and trees, dubbing it "The Forest Abomination" and later "White Eyes"; a name the creature grew to like. For reasons unknown, many people who knew of the creature referred to it as a female. As the decades passed, White Eyes would gradually become forgotten, but her bloodthirsty legacy, penchant for violence and devouring humans persisted. On July 30th, 2010, White Eyes' glowing eyes were spotted by a miner and photographed, but the photograph would unfortunately never get true recognition besides from a small following.

### His Legend Untold - The Tragic Tale of Herobrine

On August 7th, White Eyes was peacefully sleeping in a dark cave when her senses caused her to wake up, sensing movement and an unnatural presence. Somewhat frustrated from being woken up, she climbed to her feet and began scuttling across the cave, crawling on the walls and ceiling to remain undetected from a bright light that lit up the cave. Before she could pounce, the source of the light revealed itself as he walked below her; a human with bright white eyes that glowed in the dark and lit up the cave. The arachnid abomination was taken aback by the sight of this entity and silently crawled around to spectate the being. The man looked around, hearing the unnatural sound of something crawling. Realising that he could somehow sense something was in the cave with him, White Eyes echoed a faint, haunting "hello" as she turned to face the figure with her glowing eyes. The figure leaned back in surprise as White Eyes revealed herself as she crawled on the ceiling. In a calm, soothing voice, the creature asked for the entity's name, to which he responded with "Herobrine".

Intrigued that he didn't seem panicked or planning on running away, White Eyes stared into Herobrine's soul and sensed something unnatural about him, deciding to enquire further by asking if he was "like them", referring to humans, to which Herobrine responded by stating that he wasn't sure, as he had died but was somehow back from the dead. White Eyes continued staring at the ghostly being, sensing a burning hatred just from looking into his eyes; a hatred that longed for revenge and one that was aimed at humanity. White Eyes stated her findings through sensing his emotions, to which Herobrine confirmed. The ghost elaborated by stating that he wanted to get back at humanity for how they treated him, but was unsure where to start. Seeing that this lost soul was in need of some sort of guidance, an idea formed in White Eyes' bony head. The spider-hybrid jumped to the floor and revealed her full body to Herobrine, telling the young spirit that she sensed great potential in him and had similar feelings regarding humans, commenting on the sadistic process of gazing into their eyes before killing them and feeling nothing but contempt. She turned to face away from Herobrine and began walking away, asking him to come with her and stating that if he wished to even the score with the human race, he had a lot to learn before he could start his path to revenge. Herobrine pondered for several silent seconds before following White Eyes into the darkness of the caves.

For the next week, White Eyes would begin training Herobrine and teach him how to stalk and kill. She taught Herobrine how to blend into the darkness and fog to remain hidden, and how to properly retreat or go in for the kill if spotted. Subsequently, she taught Herobrine several murder methods and how to kill people, which, combined with Herobrine's knowledge of forensic pathology, made it easy to teach. After explaining Herobrine the basics, she took him out for his first proper test. As Herobrine watched, White Eyes stalked a miner and progressively increased his paranoia before cornering and killing them before devouring their soul. After a few more demonstrations, both in the caves and in the fog, White Eyes observed Herobrine's first stalking and murder as he similarly stalked, chased and cornered a miner before killing them by breaking their neck. On August 13th, 2009, White Eyes spoke with Herobrine for the final time, expressing her pride in the young ghost and telling him to make the world his, and for humanity to pay for what was done to him. Herobrine promised to do well by her before leaving her cave and entering the fog-engulfed forest, fading into the mist as she looked on proudly.

A few weeks following Herobrine going out on his own, White Eyes was stalking a miner and pounced at them, ripping their throat out and devouring their soul. As White Eyes finished her meal, she glanced over to an item the miner had dropped. Curious, she picked up the item; a mobile phone, which had been open on an online article showing a photograph of Herobrine in the fog. As the skeletal abomination stared in awe, she looked at the article with pride and quietly commented to herself that Herobrine was going to become a star, before putting the phone down and scuttling into the darkness of the cave, leaving the miner's corpse behind to rot.

It's unknown where White Eyes is nowadays, but Herobrine has mentioned that she's still killing and consuming the souls of humans, albeit, not to the extent as she had previously, nowadays preferring to reside in her cave quietly and sleep.

## Personality

"*i heard a hushed laugh coming from the cave
thats when i ran
something is down there and it wont leave my head
the nightmares dont stop. all i see are those piercing white eyes staring into my soul, beckoning me to come back to the caves*"
— A forum post documenting their encounter with White Eyes.

Ferocious, terrifying, monstrous and sadistic, White Eyes is an extremely deadly, dangerous and cunning predator that oozes malevolence and sadism, only hungering for the souls of humans. Only concerned with sustaining herself by consuming human souls, the skeletal monstrosity is a meticulous and homicidal entity that leaves a trail of death and despair everywhere she goes to satisfy her bloodthirsty appetite for humans. Although she appears to just be a mindless predator looking for food in the form of human souls, White Eyes is far from dull-witted and foolish, being a very intelligent and calculating creature capable of luring humans to her caves by tapping into their curiosity and subsequently sending them to their doom.

Vicious, unrelenting, inhumane and utterly brutal, White Eyes possesses a particularly sadistic streak and loves to toy with her prey before leading them to their deaths and slowly killing them, preferring to look her victims in the eyes to derive pleasure from their fear and sadness at the thought of dying before consuming their essence. Her relationship and view of life is also complex, as she detests humans and only views them as a form of sustenance, but also craves life, likely due to her nature as a monstrous abomination created from meddling with the boundaries of life and death, seeking only to claim the former and inflict the latter. White Eyes lacks any overarching goals and is solely motivated by sustaining herself via the souls of humans and inflicting pain on them while she's at it because it amuses and delights her.

White Eyes is also a hateful misanthrope who despises humanity and takes pleasure in tormenting her prey before killing them and devouring their souls. While making alliances with the creature are slim, she's willing to hear out those with gripes against humanity if it allows her to keep killing them. Despite hating the human race, she also recognises their importance in the world and how their importance serves her, as without humans to dine on, she will end up starving and dying without a food source.

Regardless of her misanthropy, White Eyes can appreciate the impact of human nature and how it's lead to the birth of many things she enjoys about the world, such as the caves that humans mine out for precious resources she can hibernate and reside in, and that of many delicious foods that, while not sustaining her, are found by her to be particularly delectable, such as cake.

Despite everything, White Eyes is surprisingly capable of showing decent qualities. Shockingly, White Eyes shows the capacity to genuinely care about others, and no one is more of a prime example than Herobrine. White Eyes sensed the hatred that burned within the young man's ghostly soul and that he was not only hurting, but vengeful, and that anger was directed at humanity. Sensing this, White Eyes surprisingly took pity on Herobrine and acknowledged his pain and similar hatred she held for the human race before telling him of the potential he held. Afterwards, she willingly invited the future Ghost of Minecraftia to come and train with her to become a stalker and killer. When Herobrine was ready to leave and go out on his own, White Eyes expressed pride in him for the progress he had made, knowing that he was destined for great things. Her pride in the Ghost of Minecraftia strengthened when she was made aware of news articles and stories of Herobrine spreading across the internet, commenting that he was going to become a star. Even nowdays, the two still share a genuine friendship, with the skeletal abomination always expressing eagerness to learn about Herobrine's current activities and how far he's progressed. Additionally, White Eyes draws the line at harming children, preferring to either scare or usher them away from her caves and wait until they become adults, only then will she begin to hunt and kill them for food.

## Appearance

White Eyes is an abomination created as a hybrid between a skeleton and a spider comprised entirely of charred, black bones. She is completely black and appears as having a spider-like lower body, but with an armless skeletal upper body and head, as well as an exposed ribcage. She possesses six thin skeletal legs and two small, empty, glowing white eyes, hence her namesake.

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* **Hybrid/skeleton/spider physiology**: White Eyes is a hybrid creature between a skeleton and a spider, possessing the lower body of a spider and the upper body of an armless skeleton. As a product of necromancy and an experiment involving a totem of undying, White Eyes possesses numerous supernatural and unnatural qualities.
	+ **Anatomical liberation**: White Eyes can magically detach her limbs instantaneously and telekinetically control them to reassemble into her normal form. If someone were to slice off one of her legs, her head or her body, she would simply telekinetically reattach it to her.
	+ **Emotion detection**: White Eyes has a particular ability to sense peoples' emotions. While she can do it just by sensing the aura around her when people are nearby, she can better concentrate this ability when staring directly at people, specifically into their eyes. When she looked into Herobrine's eyes when she first met him, he could sense his intense hatred and lust for revenge against humanity.
	+ **Enhanced durability**: As a supernatural being, White Eyes is very durable, mainly due to her being made entirely out of bones. Swords and other weapons do little damage to her shell and even her bony limbs aren't able to be punctured easily by sharp objects, weapons and tools, only leaving scratches and chips on her body. White Eyes is even durable enough to survive falling massive heights even without landing on her feet.
	+ **Enhanced strength**: White Eyes is incredibly strong, making her characteristics and capabilities as a predator more impressive and dangerous. White Eyes can stab through flesh with her limbs and even crack skulls just by hitting her head hard against someone else's. Having been alive for decades, White Eyes has learned to hone her skills and grow stronger with every soul she claims. White Eyes is so strong that just by jumping on someone and crawling on their body, she can keep them completely pinned down and render them immobile, allowing her to easily kill and consume her prey.
	+ **Increased speed**: White Eyes is quite fast and can easily scuttle around and canvas entire cave systems in minutes, as well as allowing her to easily catch up to a victim running away from her.
	+ **Nigh-immortality**: White Eyes is an immortal creature created many decades ago via necromancy and dark magic experiments. As an artificial creation, she is eternal and cannot die through old age, diseases and regular wounds that would be fatal to most humans. The only known things that can potentially cause White Eyes to die is if she starves, as she feeds on human souls, and if she were to be wounded by enchanted weaponry, which would cancel out her regenerative capabilities.
		- **Regeneration**: In addition to her immortality, White Eyes can regenerate wounds, lost appendages and body parts if she is injured. Most weapons that aren't enchanted only leave scratches and chips on the bones she's composed of, making it easy for her to naturally heal these injuries.
	+ **Wallcrawling**: As a half-spider hybrid, White Eyes can use her six spider-like legs to crawl on any surface, scale walls and crawl on ceilings with ease. If someone were to hit White Eyes while attached to a wall or ceiling, she wouldn't budge an inch.

### Abilities

* **Amazing stamina**: White Eyes is a supernatural entity and thus, is immune to exhaustion and getting tired. With her great speed and lack of being able to become tired, she can run for an endless amount of time without exhausting in the slightest.
* **High intellect**: For an entity that most would perceive as a mindless predator, White Eyes is extremely intelligent and very smart. Having lived for many decades, she retains an large amount of knowledge of the world she inhabits and how to use her surroundings to further her nature as a predator to ensnare prey. She is also capable of leaning into peoples' desires and using them to motivate them, as was the case with Herobrine, whom she sensed hateful emotions from and sought to help him adjust to his feelings of anger.
* **Master of hunting**: As a predator, White Eyes is a master at hunting victims, utilising her environment to remain hidden and get a judge of the character of her victims. Victims she knows also have a proclivity for hunting and are skilled with weapons, she takes more seriously, but also has more fun toying with by playing into their confidence.
* **Ocular illumination**: White Eyes' eyes are naturally able to glow in the dark and illuminate dark areas, although not to the extent of entities such as Herobrine due to her eyes being smaller.
* **Stealth mastery**: As a pitch black entity who relies on stalking to ensnare her prey, White Eyes can effortlessly blend into dark areas such as caves and even the open world of the night sky, even areas that aren't dark such as foggy/misty weather in the daylight. Within these dark and foggy areas, she can easily scuttle from place-to-place to locate areas that are good to scout for prey and remain hidden from humans.

### Weaknesses

* **Diet**: White Eyes is a predator that consumes human souls to sustain herself. As such, if she were to ever run out of souls to consume, she would slowly starve to death. However, because of her supernatural qualities, she can survive for years without having to feast on human souls, although those years spent without feasting would result in her growing weaker.
* **Enchanted weaponry**: While White Eyes is unable to be truly harmed by regular weapons, enchanted weapons are able to deal significant damage to her, such as cutting off appendages completely, and because of the magical nature of enchanted weapons, lost appendages and body parts that are cut off don't grow back or are able to be telekinetically reattached.

## Relationships

### Allies

#### Herobrine

"*Oh, what a star you'll become, my child...*"
— White Eyes upon looking at a forum post about Herobrine on the phone of a victim she had just killed.

Herobrine is White Eyes' first and only friend, and the only entity in the universe that White Eyes possess a level of genuine care and admiration towards, which is especially surprising considering her contempt for humans. White Eyes initially decided to simply kill and consume the young man upon sensing someone in her cave and believing the light brightening up the cave to be a torch, but upon further inspection and seeing the ghost for the first time, she became fascinated and awe-struck by the prospect of another supernatural entity with white eyes similar to her. Realising that he wasn't normal, she communicated with the spectre and sensed the hatred in his heart for humanity, as well as his longing for revenge. For the first time in her immortal life, White Eyes felt a degree of care and empathy for someone, and decided to take Herobrine under his wing and help him take his revenge on humanity by training him to become a stalker and killer.

In the aftermath of Herobrine's week-long training, White Eyes admitted to Herobrine that he had become the only person she cared about, expressing how proud she was in the young man for honing his newfound skills and watching as he went out into the world to start his quest of revenge. Upon finding out that Herobrine had been getting his name in the headlines as a newly-discovered urban legend, White Eyes' pride in the Ghost of Minecraftia only strengthened. Even now, White Eyes still interacts with Herobrine whenever he comes to find her and admires how far he's come.

It's something else... something **wicked.** (she'd stare deep into Herobrine's eyes, sensing his raw emotions before looking back at him) You're hurting, aren't you?

**White Eyes**: I expect nothing less from the only human--the only being in this world I respect. That I... care about. (she'd look at Herobrine) You're going to do great out there, my child. Now, go out there and make the world yours. Take revenge on those who wronged you.
**Herobrine**: I promise, **no one** will walk over me again. I will deliver death a thousand times painful than what any mortal would expect. (he'd start to walk out of the cave and into the fog) Goodbye, White Eyes. And thank you.

## Trivia

* The in-universe creator of White Eyes, the evoker named Endorphine, is the creator/first discoverer of the White Eyes character from August of 2010, with the character in question predating Herobrine by approximately two weeks at the earliest possible date.
* White Eyes smells like ashes, likely attributed to her being made out of charred bones.
* Even though she's covered in soot, brushing White Eyes would show her bones to still be black, with the soot being a by-product of living in the dark, dusty caves for decades.
* Since White Eyes only consumes the souls of humans, she never feasts on the bodies of her victims. Instead, she hides them under piles of rocks and waits until their flesh rots off to scatter their skulls and bones around the caves to frighten anyone who comes inside as a sick display of her work.
* White Eyes dislikes snow and rain due to how it feels when falling on her body. She prefers to remain dusty and covered in the black soot of caves.
* White Eyes dislikes bears and often tries to steer clear of them whenever scouting a forest. While she isn't at all scared of bears, she considers them annoying due to how aggressive they are and normally manages to indirectly attract one or two to attack her.
