It looks like[hider=this][img]https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51K%2BmDcmKML._SX425_.jpg[/img][/hider] She wears a bandage over her left eye at all times to help hide her true race, her left eye is colored a burning red. Eris also always hides her feet as they are another give away to her true identity. She stands at a short 5'2". Due to her secretiveness and desire to hide herself she almost always has a cloak on, fastened tightly to hide her horns under the baggy hood. That or a scarf wrapped around her head to hide her horns. [/indent] [color=ec7474][b][u]Likes[/u][/b][/color] [list][*] The night - she loves the night sky and just the overall peace of the night [*] Books - it is her escape from reality and her way of learning new things [*] Rain - she enjoys the cool feel of the drops of water on her skin and the scent of the world just before a rain and just after it. She also enjoys the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground or roofs [*] Sweets - they are a rare thing for her and she has come to cherish and enjoy any time she gets to have them [*] Parkour/Gymnastics - it is her way of getting around and if need be, escaping if she is caught stealing. She's learned to enjoy it as a pastime as well, something to do in order to keep her mind off other things [/list] [color=ec7474][b][u]Dislikes[/u][/b][/color] [list][*] Water - more so big bodies of water or those that would involve swimming. She can't swim so thus she fears the water and what would most likely be death for her [*] Judgers - people who judge others too easily along with those who look down on anyone lower than them [*] Herself - mainly just what she was born as, the blood that runs through her and the different parts of her that make it obvious what type of monster she is. [*] Being Alone - though this is her normal, she doesn't actually enjoy it [*] Holy Beings - the few she has met so far have ended up trying to kill her [/list] [color=ec7474][b][u]Personality[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Eris is not a people person. If one has the opportunity to get to talk with her, it will be quickly seen that she doesn't wish to speak to most people. She holds a cold exterior for protection. All that she has gotten in the past from openly being nice was eventual ridicule and even people using her. That or people get too close and then find out her heritage and that never ends well. Those who are lucky enough to get past her cold exterior or happen to catch her off guard and see her interacting with homeless or orphans, they will see a compassionate girl. Eris truly cares for people, especially those who also seem to be having a tough time in life. Though she doesn't seem like a good person due to her making a living off being a thief, she makes sure to steal only from those who are obviously greedy as her primary targets. When necessary she will steal from other people only if it won't have a negative impact on the person she is stealing from. Eris will often then take money or stolen food to the homeless or orphans to help them out. She has even stolen medicine for a few poorer families who couldn't afford it for their loved ones. Eris is caring and loyal to those she finds deserves such treatment. Being on Eris' good side is rare outside of the already stated types of people. Even those groups can meet a cold shoulder if trying to get to close or if they pry too much. Eris is secretive of her life and of what she is, thus why she has her cloak and bandage. [/indent] [color=ec7474][b][u]Biggest Fear[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Eris dreads dying before being able to show and teach some people that not all Half-Devils are bad. [/indent] [color=ec7474][b][u]Greatest Dream[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Being accepted for what she is, despite societies view on her kind. [/indent] [color=ec7474][b][u]Background[/u][/b][/color] [indent] Eris was born to Fiona Martel and a devil whom she never learned the name of. Her father wasn't ever around but Fiona didn't need help raising Eris. Despite having to hide her daughter's presence, Fiona was a good mother to Eris. She made sure the girl was well fed, well dressed, taught manners, and well educated. Eris loved her mother dearly and her mother loved her. It wasn't until one tough winter that things went wrong for the mother and daughter. The winter lasted longer than expected and the food began to run out for the two. Thinking that maybe he would offer a bit of help after eating only scraps for a week, Fiona called upon Eris' father. The devil was not a good being to begin with and hated the fact he had ended up with a daughter after a chance one night stand one of the few times he left Rakhan, well Fiona calling upon him for help angered him greatly. He took all his pent up anger out on the woman and ended up killing her. He then just left Eris to die. At only 8, Eris lost her mother. Luckily for her, what was left of the food lasted the last of the winter. After the winter she tried to go get help in the nearby town but that only resorted in her being chased away from the town and being blamed for her mother's death. It was at that point that Eris began to hate half of who she was. She scavenged a cloak from the next town over and hid her horns, using her hair to hide her left eye. She was able to get some help in the form of a little money, some food, and some clothes from an older woman who took pity on her. She didn't stay there long. As soon as she left that town, Eris began a journey of loneliness and growing self-hatred and some growth. Over time as Eris grew up on the streets, she taught herself to become skilled in stealing, sleight of hand, gymnastics, bartering, and parkour. All things to help her survive. She learned how to scout out abandon places to set up base in and how to survive in the woods as well, though her survival in the city is much better. One of the main things she taught herself was fighting, though it is mainly self-defense and disarming/distracting in order to escape. This is due to Eris having been homeless and living on the streets for thirteen years. Over those thirteen years she has met a few holy beings all of which ended up finding out what she was and trying to kill her, claiming she shouldn't exist. She has also attempted to find a place to call home only for someone to find out what she was and either try to kill her or just chase her off. Its reasons like that which make her believe she will never truly settle down anywhere and make her wary of everyone and everything. [hider=Half-Devil History] Half-Devil's are a rare race. Mainly they are seen in Rakhan as they are typically killed upon birth outside of it, though they are not regarded highly in Rakhan and as such are hidden away. Half-Devil's lucky enough to not be killed upon being born outside of Rakhan are always hidden away. Kept secret from the rest of the world to keep them alive. If the Half-Devil is lucky, they didn't gain traits that give away what they are too easily and allow them to be integrated into society and allow them to adapt to said society. Unfortunately, most are not lucky and have some trait that gives them away. Most Half-Devils don't live long enough to mature, often being found out before hand. When Half-Devils are found out most of society reacts one of two way. They either chase the Half-Devil off or they kill the Half-Devil. Rarely do people tend to not care or react in other ways to Half-Devils. It is simply the curse of being born. Half-Devils are feared simply for what they partly are, Devils barely leave Rakhan and having a being with even half the blood of a Devil scares people. It doesn't help that there have been cases of Half-Devils that have caused death and destruction due to the way they were treated. Thus making the race seen in an even worse light.
