Flaws: Eden has mild Homophobia and becomes squeamish when confronted with an extreme amount of blood. Having grown accustomed to the amounts usually covering the dead over the months since the end it takes a fair amount but when it happens chunks usually fly. Due to her upbringing Eden has a really bad habit of making everyones problems her problems, and while this would a be a good thing in moderation, she always puts others before herself, with everything.

Dreams/goals: Before the end Eden had dreams of going to business school, opening her own resturant, meeting a man and having four kids, Two daughter and two sons. Throughout school she had strived hard to put her on this path not knowing that it would all be for not as the dead would come to rule the world. After the end she dedicated herself to keeping the few people she managed to gather alive, offer them structure, a safe place, and a well rounded way of life.

Fears: Having everyone she cares about turn against her, Watching everything she's managed to build fall apart around her at the hands of the dead or bandits.

Overall Personality: Eden is the kind of girl you'd find staying late after every class just to keep herself on track, The person that would nearly always be a part of the debate club, the student council or any other form of management or thought focused area of school life. Growing up with a younger sister and two parents that worked long hours Eden grew to be very self sufficient, Very dedicated to helping others. But on the opposite side of coin she became further removed from herself, Taking care of her younger sister and the duties she felt she owed her student body she stopped paying as much attention to herself, her feelings fall to the wayside a lot and she keeps her feelings bottled up. When asked she'll generally shrug you off but secretly she craves someone to press further.



History: Eden grew up in the town of Coos Bay Oregon, a seaside town with lovely beaches and good people. The daughter of two executives business personnel her childhood was a somewhat lonely one, The most time she was able to spend with her mother early on being during the leave she took upon having her younger sister Athena, But during that time her mothers attention was in no way focused on her. As time passed and her parents returned to work the job of taking care of her sister fell to her, a job she took to with little trouble, but that's where the problem started. Having to dedicate all of her time and effort to taking care of her younger sister left little time for herself, a fact that in some ways helped her grow, but in others, stopped her in her tracks.

Getting into middle school Eden found herself on the student council. All those years taking care of her younger sister and being a leading figure to her had served to make the young girl into a natural born leader which didn't go unnoticed among her teachers. Talking her into joining the student council Eden dedicated herself to the job and had worked her way up to president before graduation. Getting through her first two years of high school in roughly the same fashion Eden had earned the nickname "Ice Leader." from the way she handled things and the way she acted. While she wasn't anti social and wasn't in any way outright mean she had come to shrug anyone off that tried to approach her, trying to make friends with her was probably one of the hardest things anyone could do during their time in school with her.

During summer of her junior year her family took a vacation to Maine, More specifically to Arcadia National Park.  For the first time in longer than Eden could remember she smiled while she was there. It had been years since she had felt like she was part of a family unit, since she had fun. The fun wasn't meant to last as the reports of the dead began to come through, Before the family knew it they were surrounded by the things and the next thing Athena and Eden knew they were orphaned. Lost..

Making their way south they found themselves among one group or another for a time, but non seemed to last, non seemed to fit. That was until they found Southwest Harbor High. Stumbling upon it by chance the two sisters were met by a small group of people around their age, like them they had been orphaned or separated from their parents in some way or another. Getting set up they elected her as the sudo leader of sorts. This fact didn't sit well with Eden at first so as a counter her first ruling was to set up a council of sorts, everything was a democracy, no dictatorship here.

As time went on the teens fortified a small portion of the highschool, The cafeteria as well as a number of classrooms and offices to act as rec rooms and bedrooms, Thankfully Maine was a very green state and they had power long after the power grids went out thanks to the solar panels on the roofs. Now, they survive. What comes next, they don't know. But what they do know is this. Stay together, Stay safe. Live to die another day.
