Eden Corionis

Edenazar Argenthos-Corionis, best known as simply Eden, is a twenty-two year-old Halfling who is constantly seeking mayhem through all kinds of outrageous antics. She is one of the mortal beholders of the Rubies, and her ability is turning back time by a small margin.

## Appearance

As a young adult, Eden is actually pretty plain in terms of physical features. She got shoulder-length, straight dark hair and almond shaped dark eyes. For a Halfling, she got pale skin, which is considered a 'noble trait' among the Halflings.

Described by her mother as 'nowhere near as pretty as her sisters' and 'possessor of a smile like a flower in bloom' by many of her suitors, it seems that Eden's fashionable regalia and overall playful and flirty demeanour won her plenty of hearts – or perhaps hearts that she has stolen, and would have better handed back.

After starting her life as an independent adult as a spy affiliated with the Guild of Thieves, she had received additional scars, the most notable being some strange markings across her ring fingers, her shoulders, and her thighs. She has a small scar running across her left eyebrow, that she mostly covers up by drawing it on in case of undercover ops.

Since the start of the campaign, Eden has mostly been seen sporting artisocratic shirts in neutral colors, ruffled skirts and thigh holsters, as well as short, soft leather trousers underneath that seem to have been enchanted with a very potent, but mostly unnoticeable charm. She always seems to have thief tools on her, though they are very cleverly hidden on her person, a small silver dagger with an Elven inscription that reads gibberish, a hairpin and a nail file.

## Personality

Flamboyant as she can be, Eden is boisterous and flirtatious around other people, especially around new people and Chrono (whom, against all appearances, she does not actually dislike). By carelessly stepping into their personal space and making liberal use of charm and persuasion, Eden aims at intimidating the other person not through size, but through intensity alone.

Around other people, such as Melithea or Zen, she is supportive, and is shown to be introspective and thoughtful after a particularly emotionally taxing encounter in a dungeon, after each member of the party has been shown their deepest fear.

Eden is wary of strangers, and has been shown to have a penchant for flirting with and seducing women or female presenting magical creatures. As a running gig, she keeps proclaiming that she wants to seduce dragons and all other unlikely (and highly unadvisable) magical beings. Although there are rumours towards a romantic entanglement with draconic deities, Eden has definitely kept her distance and preferred to watch from afar.

In her early life, as the youngest daughter, she quickly picked up ladylike skills, such as weaving, sewing, languages, managing and contability. She excelled at diplomacy, but that seemed to weigh her down after she refused to be bartered away by her mother, the Matriarch of her family, for an advantageous match, and instead negociating the trade herself, attracting the animosity of her female relatives.

It is unknown what happened after that point and until she was proclaimed 'missing' after three years, and resurfacing after two more as a familiar face in a scandal magazine for seducing a Dwarf Diplomat's wife, but many noted that her manners were stilted when there was talk of her father and her uncle, her face 'freezing, and showing signs of turmoil, visible only if you knew her well enough. No one knew her well enough, since no one would get close enough to her without an invitation to her bed', as mentioned by an anonymous acquaintance.

As a spy, her training with languages turned useful, and it appears that she has travelled quite a lot, both legally and ilegally. An accomplished dancer and conversationalist, she always keeps an eye on the happenings.

## Family

Her family descends from a very long line of nobility on her mother side, and a clever merchant empire on her father's. She has three older sisters, Ahrinazar, Bellephor and Christan, simply called Ahria, Bell and Christa.

Her mother, Ahrinazar Ahrianis-Corionis, has strong ties to the Court, as well as some undisclosed Master-binds to the Fae courts, explaining the Faerie origin of the servants in the Corionis household.

## Trivia

* She pretends to love red wine, but she actually really, really despises wine. If she has the possibility, she will always try to switch it for grape juice.

* She snores when she's really tired, but still pretend to have made the sounds willingly to annoy the other people, because she wakes up easily.
* Is adept at brewing sleepings draughts.
* Wishes she could have studied magic and become a sorcerer; she likes her current occupation, especially since she fell somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between her dream, and the most likely occupation if she had stayed home (either a housewife, or a priestess).
* Has a strangely easy time communicating with the gods, and though she is not necessarily reverent, she definitely is respectful.
* Likes cherries.
* Her birthday is in spring.
