Eurydice Joyce

Eurydice Joyce is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character. She is the daughter of Ārohirohi, goddess of mirages and shimmering heat, from Māori Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Roybel Side, since she isn't sure about following her destiny.

## Character

### **Personality**

Friendly. Amicable. Without a doubt, Eurydice Joyce is always open to conversation. Easy to approach, she'd rarely turn you away as she lends her ear -- and her own voice -- to you. She is loud, with a tendency of quick-fire questions and a desperate need to hold your attention. Her energy is that of a salesperson or a keynote speaker pitching to you: pretending to listen, pretending to get at your concerns, all the while only pushing for herself. It is fun, but only for a bit, because the line between fake and genuine feels jarring, and some people have stated that talking to Eurydice feels like a job interview where she's grilling you about your credentials. Nonetheless, most people, despite her villainous destiny, tend to give Yuri the benefit of the doubt and assume the best of her, treating her as yet another excitable technie who is looking forward to a bright, bright future. And of course she's energetic, she's a jing! More stamina than your average mortal, and hence, a skewed perception of what "working hard" is. Eurydice doesn't believe she's overworked. She believes in dedication. She believes she is a brilliant engineering mastermind that will change the world, and hey, didn't they tell you that innovation is 99% perspiration? Because of her supernatural stamina and increased energy, Eurydice believes she can always do more, and hence, does too much sometimes, ending up as a brash teenager who is easily jumpy and darts around issues. As a shapeshifter, Eurydice holds fast and tight to the importance of adapting, especially to the times, and fears obsolescence. This nature of hers to always push harder, to push for the best, to be the best, means that she believes strongly in the ideal that everything can be more perfect, can be more improved. While this can manifest as a keen engineering eye, she is also easily critical and judgemental, especially when she already operates on a skewed level of strength. Anyway, things are looking up, aren't they? Invest! INVEST! Eurydice is the embodiment of optimism and hope; she has a sunny disposition, easily gives second chances, and is always ready with a kind word of encouragement for anyone who needs it. She's bubbly, energetic, and caring to a fault, wanting everyone to get a happy ending simply because as people (or creatures) they deserve that chance. That being said, she is also determined, and often stubborn, and will fight like a mad hatter to get those happy endings. The first and most noticeable thing about Eurydice is her energetic personality.

She is truly lively and seems to have a never-ending enthusiasm, and it probably is quite a lot of energy for such a small body. Passionate about life and very excited to fully live every single second of her day, Eurydice's vivacious spirit never seems to cease. She is constantly dragging her friends on adventures with her; wandering around the Village of Book End and pulling people to dance with her and singing out loud as she excitedly greets everyone passing by. Her happiness is certainly endearing; it is usual for people to feel happy just by observing how joyful Eurydice is. Prone to act purely on impulse, Eurydice's spontaneity is both entertaining and sometimes a little stupid. She doesn't think much before acting and then lives to regret (momentarily) when things go wrong. Despite all her intelligence, the daughter of Ārohirohi can be quite careless sometimes, not giving sufficient attention to avoiding "bad consequences", constantly needing someone to be her impulse control and making decisions based exclusively on the moment. Eurydice will most likely rely on her heart rather than on her mind, and listens to her feelings to guide her actions. Due to her "live the moment" line of thought, the demigod isn't the type of person to get really attached to someone, and overall doesn't get sad if someone suddenly leaves her life. While she is an affectionate and tender friend, she probably isn't the type to fight for you to stay if you're willing to leave, something that can be both a good and a bad aspect of her personality. Many, many people have passed by Eurydice's life, but she can count those who have stayed longer than a year or two. As mentioned above, Eurydice isn't by any means a rancorous or resentful individual. In fact, it is extremely easy for her to forgive and forget. When someone does something she doesn't like, Eurydice's not the type of person who will hold something against them, and no one has ever ended a friendship with her due to that. Overall, the demigod is very, very friendly and easy to approach, being acquaintances with almost everyone she knows. However, to be considered her friend and to be close to her is another story. As she is someone carefree who doesn't get attached easily to people, it's not unusual for someone to not feel completely safe in forming a relationship with her, as they know she's not a girl to really insist on something or someone. Eurydice is always surrounded by people, spreading her happiness and jovial love, but in fact, she is rather lonely and is secretly a little afraid of not having someone to run to if she's not okay.

### **Appearance**

Eurydice is often described as a beautiful looking seventeen year old girl of Afro-Maori descent. She is described with smooth brown skin, shorty and kinky brown hair that has sun hair clips in it, and shining hazel eyes. Eurydice is often seen wearing a yellow shirt that says “The Summer's Shimmering Heat” in black writing, a jean skirt, and black converse high tops

### **Hobbies and Interests**

#### Robotics/Technology

Eurydice's field of engineering is Robotics, and she holds a steadfast fondness for quadrocopters and probes, especially hoping to work in the AI field of helping such robots intelligently navigate a space and carry out instructions, without a human driver. She is an fan of Battlebots, though if you asked her about any underground battle robot fighting leagues, she would gasp in horror at the assertion she would be aware or take part in any.
