## Background

### 1985 - 2004: Eve Eden

Eve Eden grew up in an idyllic Kansas suburbs of Granville with her brother Larry & parents, Warren & Maureen. With their father as a politician, the family was held to a high standard & forced to keep up appearances at all times.

When she was young, her mother Maureen introduced her & her brother to the Land of the Nightshades. She revealed her true name of Magda & that she been the Queen of this mystical realm, but she was banished by a villain & her brother Incubus. After running from her brother, Magda ended up settling in the quiet town, hoping she could hide from her brother & eventually married Warren.

Their father was never told, as she believed who would not believe her story. When metahumans became public knowledge to the world, she decided to reveal her & their children's true nature. He reported this to the government, inadvertently alerting Incubus to their location. He killed Magda first then kidnapped her brother Larry, planning to use his body as a host.

Eve used her powers to become a living shadow & opened portals to rescue her brother. Unfortunately she was unable to save her brother but prevented Incubus from using his body. Upon returning home, things were not the same in the Eden household. Her father Warren was devastated by the loss of his wife & son, channeling his bitterness until he & Eve grew distant.

Eve eventually found solace in the form of a Catholic priest, who listened & comforted her. She soon became a devout Catholic in a search for inner strength to one day face the Incubus & save their dimension. Inspired by superheroes, Eve decided she needed experience to fight Incubus. She dropped out of college, using her status as the "capitol's darling" & became a notorious party girl to spite her indifferent father who was now a Senator.

### 2004 - 2007: Nightshade

Eventually, Eve was approached by King Faraday of the secretive organization called Checkmate. He offered to hire her as an unofficial agent & she worked for him as the costumed hero Nightshade. During this time she took down several super-villains but despite of her deeds, she loathed herself for never saving her brother. Nightshade was later introduced to Amanda Waller, the White Queen. After being with Checkmate for around two years, Waller asked her to join the Suicide Squad & Eve agreed, needing another distraction.

Her adventures in Task Force X were disasters to say the least. Her first mission was infiltrating the Qurac-based terrorist group Jihad. The group massacred a large group of civilians in their first demonstration, leaving Eve horrified at being an accessory to this crime. After she & the Suicide Squad destroyed the Jihad, she lashed out at Waller for putting her in that position.

Eve was disgusted at working with the Suicide Squad, which consisted of criminals. The only people that she found decent to work with were Nemesis & Rick Flag, both of whom she developed feelings for. Initially, she fell for Flag, having a very short relationship with him until Nemesis revealed that he had feelings for her as well.

### 2007 - 2012: Nightshade

She continued to participate in various missions, mostly undercover with the squad. After a mission to rescue the imprisoned author Zoya Trigorin, Nightshade's powers were stretched to the limit leaving them unable to escape. The group was then forced to make a bold helicopter extraction that not only led to Zoya's death but Nemesis' capture. Despite Waller's decision to not save Nemesis, the group went against her & saved Nemesis but both of them left the squad shortly after.

Nightshade returned to her duties with Checkmate, later being asked by King Faraday to monitor Captain Atom as he had severed his ties to the American government. The two soon developed a romance & even worked together in the field.

### 2012 - Present: Nightshade

After her time with Captain Atom, Nightshade kind of fell of the face of the Earth before emerging a couple years later as a member of the Oddfellows. Since then, she has served with them battling a host of magical villains while also acting as a magical consultant for the Department of Extranormal Operations.
