Also learned weaving from the Slyphs during her childhood.She often lags behind during longer excursions from a childhood injury to her left ankle. She also has scars all around her legs from the same incident so she always has them covered with long dresses and leggings/stockings.Voiceclaim: Xanthe Huynh☆Playlist☆

Cheerful, calm and gentle, with righteous virtues and well-meaning morals. Shy at first meetings but eventually very caring and invested in someone's well-being.

She strives to always do whats right, vying for non-violent methods however she also acknowledges that is not always an option. She'll lament a little. But she is also very insecure and worries about not doing a good job as a healer despite the contrary.

Cursed with an inability to recognize her conjury and appearance in a positive light, often shrinking away compliments and praise yet also seeking approval of her very existence due to a rough childhood.

She tries to keep up a happy front however, putting aside her feelings for the sake of others and not wanting to worry them.

Its only with close friends that she confides her troubles but even then feels guilty for doing so, always having the mindset her problems pale in comparison to others and are more deserving of a break from what life throws at them than she.

☼ History ☼

History

Too young to remember the specifics but she believes her parents abandoned her in Gridania when the reality was that her father, a fisherman and merchant, spirited her away from their home of Thavnair from her mother who was an alchemist that had been conducting questionable experiments with homunculus and then turned her sights to live subjects.Even though they were safe and accepted in the Twelveswood, her father could not in good conscience leave her mother to continue her twisted trials.Making the heartbreaking choice and that she would be much safer in Gridania, he left her in their care as he ventured out to put a stop to his partner's wicked wiles.It is unknown whether he is still fighting, captured or perished in his task.Despite being allowed sanctuary and being nurtured, she felt she was not welcomed growing up which led to her being closed off and doing her best to stay out of everyone's way. It was especially apparent from the other children as she was relentlessly bullied for her Auri features being called names such as lizard, demonchild or stoneface.Nonetheless, she never wished ill on them for she believed she was fated to never be accepted since her parents abandoned her.The feeling of abandonment increased a hundredfold during an educational venture in the East shroud that she was led astray by one supervising adult and her bullies, being pushed into a small pit in the Bramble Patch and left behind. Her legs were caught in the bramble, the more she struggled the more cuts she received but those paled in comparison to a large thorn impaling her left ankle betwixt skin and scale.Trapped in the rain, she had just about given up hope before a group of Slyphs found and rescued her. As she was receiving care, the conjurers stationed at Little Solace sent word to Gridania about the missing child. While Edenia told the Slyphs who was responsible, she was terrified of speaking to the elders seeing as it would only invite more conflict upon her.The Slyphs administered their own justice in their own whimsical ways.Since then, Edenia would spend more time with the Slyphs and Little Solace than Gridania proper, exception being when she joined the conjurers guild to become a healer so that she may help herself and others who are left to their hurts. She demonstrated an aptitude for conjury and became an accomplished healer as she grew. Yet despite her accomplishments, she still felt inferior.

It is her hope that by becoming an adventurer she could help and heal those she comes across but also to strengthen her resolve and general view of herself.
