### **Personality**

Eerie has extreme social anxiety and she feels the need to appear perfect to others. Unfortunately, in reality she is clumsy and socially awkward; the type to say "you too" to a waiter that said "enjoy your meal". Consequently, Eerie has turned to occult magic to conceal her failures, no matter how insignificant they may be.

## **Biography**

### **Background**

*The following is a summary. The full backstory can be found here.*

Eerie, originally named *Mandy Menwell*, was born in an undetermined city. She attended a sanctioned school where she learned how to read. Mandy was shy, but her parents loved her and she was successful in her studies. One day, due to a minor blunder, Mandy's peers started to bully her harshly. Nothing seemed to subdue the bullying, so Mandy grew desperate. She ended up studying forbidden texts to learn how to erase other's memories. Mandy believed she had to prevent anyone from ever remembering any mistake she might make, or else her torment would grow even worse. Unfortunately, she got caught red handed by *Amanda Andrews*. Instead of exposing Mandy, Amanda decided to befriend Mandy and use her magical powers to commit petty mischief. Together, Amanda and Mandy committed progressively riskier crimes, until eventually they got caught. Amanda betrayed Mandy, but her parents managed to save her. Still, Mandy had to flee alone to Eden. There she was discovered by a mysterious man, who forced Mandy to become his adopted daughter. The man turned out to be a mad serial killer who cut off the faces of his victims and studied them like literature. He made Mandy wipe the memories of any witnesses, and eventually he wanted her to join in on the killing. Instead, Mandy stabbed the man, tried to wipe his memory and ran away. Although the man was strangely resistant to her magic, Mandy managed to escape and travel to Sideways. There she changed her name to *Eerie D. Essence* after *iridescence*, since she wanted her new name to represent something bright and colorful. Eerie began a new life and formed friendships with the locals, particularly with Liana. She kept regularly wiping the memories of her acquaintances to maintain a facade of faultlessness. She even tried to mindwipe the Redeemer, but much like her adoptive father he resisted it. Despite knowing Eerie's secret, the Redeemer didn't expose her or treat her differently, which lead her to develop a special fondness towards the Redeemer that few others in the village shared.

### **Fate of Sideways**

In Fate of Sideways, Eerie guided her party in their efforts to replace the Redeemer. Eerie's ingenuity and knowledge of the occult were particularly important in balancing the more impulsive members of the party. When the party encountered a decaying skeleton called Harald, Eerie was suddenly overtaken by bloodlust, and she killed the creature before the rest of the party could act. It turned out that Harald was the host of Death, and therefore the party and Jitters became the new carriers of the aspect. Eerie never submitted to Death's will, and eventually she came to terms with the guest in her mind. Eerie was shocked by the death of Emmi and Copernicus. In a desperate attempt to save the independence of Sideways, she delved into the books stored in the ossuary and discovered how to make a new Redeemer. None of the remaining party members were eligible for the position, since their minds were occupied by Death. Therefore Eerie decided to take Liana to the Far Left, where she was made the new Redeemer. Now Eerie helps Liana figure out her new responsibilities. Unfortunately, the many horrors Eerie faced and the death of her friends had a heavy toll on her sanity.
