Quirks:
*Her dad is probably one of her favorite people on the planet

*She's very cautious about dating because she has this ridiculous idea that she's practically related to everyone through her step mother. Infamously known for saying "I have a million step brothers and sisters! How am I supposed to keep track of all of them?!"

*She loves miniature versions of things. So much so that she learned how to play the ukulele because in her opinion, it's a miniature guitar.

Secrets:
*She had a pregnancy scare when she was 16 and was terrified of telling her dad because he had always been so protective of her and very open about how hard it was to raise a kid while you were still in school. She was more ashamed than anything that she had let him down, the day before she was going to tell him she thought she might be, she got her period and had never been more relieved in her life.

*She absolutely can not have open and honest conversations with her dad about one thing; relationships. She goes to Aunt Marney for all serious relationship/sexual conversations with her aunt and takes it very seriously. When she first wanted to go on birth control, Marney was the one she went to. When she had her pregnancy scare? Marney. First boyfriend? First girlfriend? No matter what it was she always went to her aunt first. Even if Marney is a bit crazy, Eddie treasures and trusts this relationship. It's nice having a woman around whom she trusts.

*Eddie knows that her dad has a taste for drifters when it comes to women. She only has to look at his dating record to see that the women in his life are always drifting in and out, even Erica for a while had been a part of that. She sincerely believes that her dad deserves a woman who will stay true to him and one who will stand by his side no matter what. A part of her is also afraid that she will end up the same way so she tends to flit away from relationships before they even become real.

*She's had a threesome before.

Amortentia smells like: Old books, wood working, and pancakes

Strengths: Working with her hands, planning ahead, music, patient, excellent studier, intelligent, blunt and honest, initiative, creative

Weaknesses: Totally gets caught up in her work, holds grudges, she can be judgemental without even realizing it sometimes, she can be in her own head too much and not vocalizing outward when others are involved, she can get awkward in social situations

Detailed personality:
Eddie has always been a daddy's girl from the day she was born. She adores her dad and was always really well behaved in school so that she wouldn't disappoint. She loves to spend time with him in his shop and has always taken an active part in helping out around the house. She's extremely responsible and can be a little overprotective when it comes to the people in her family and her friends.

She is extremely cautious and exceptionally quiet considering her roots. She was always a bit rambunctious as a child but as she grew older she mellowed out and found her niche as creative genius, almost mad scientist. She is a hard worker, very bright, and insanely curious. Even though she is a bit of a dreamer, she's got the determination to see her projects through to the end.

Eddie has a sweet disposition but as can be expected, a bit of the Rivera Sykes bite when it comes to confrontation. She will not be told that she can not do something. Impossible is a word that is highly frowned upon in her vocabulary.
