Physical Description: Eden is a small, slight girl. At 5’ exactly she’s really hoping she has some growing left to do. She’s been trying to “fatten up” for as long as she can remember but no matter what she eats she’s still classed as underweight. She has an awkward body, with jutting bones and boyish figure. She has no hips or breasts to speak of and with her closely cropped hair is often mistaken for a boy, which she prefers. Boys get less hassle anyway. Eden’s face is rounded, with pale skin and a dusting of very faint freckles. In the past it has been assumed she is as young as 12 years old. Her shoulders are permanently honey coloured from the sun but the rest of her skin stubbornly refuses to take in any sort of colour. Her eyes are dark and her lips are full and almost cherubic in appearance. Her style is rather androgynous, with a leaning towards tank tops and boy’s jeans. In fact, Eden doesn’t think there is a single instance in her life where she has worn anything close to a dress, skirt or high heeled shoe. She has no piercings or tattoos (piercings could prove painful in a contact sport like Quodpot!). Her accent is distinctly Southern and she has a habit of talking out of one side of her mouth.

Personality:
Likes: Quodpot, drinking beer, porches, rain, girls, college girls, a challenge, flying, her father, slamming into people on her broom, tacos, chinos, paddling pools in the summer.
Dislikes: Cats, skirts (unless someone else is wearing them), her mother, weak people, being so light in the air (it’s not good when there’s a strong wind!), soggy fries, not having a driver’s licence despite being able to drive.
Quirks: Really good at bird calls, prefers warm beer to cold, has never been on a boat before
Secrets: - Eden’s father is in Wizarding prison for conspiring to bring down the Statue of Wizarding Secrecy in Florida when she was seven years old.
- Eden’s mother died of a heroin overdose when she was fourteen. Eden witnessed the whole thing and as a result she can see thestrals, though she would never let on that she can see them occasionally flying over the grounds.
- Did nothing to help her mother as she lay dying.
Amortentia smells like:  Cigarettes, cherry lip gloss and sawdust.
Strengths: Streetwise, tough, able to hold her own ground, a good flyer, bright
Weaknesses: Angry, jaded, pessimistic, cruel, scheming, bitter, a pretty face.
Detailed personality: Eden is a tough talking girl who is always looking for an opportunity to make people as miserable as herself. She can spot an opportunity to burst someone’s bubble from a mile off and make it her mission to see that person crumble. It doesn’t exactly make her feel happy to upset others, but it makes her feel glad to know that someone else in the world has had their eyes opened to how cruel the world can really be. If Eden was a man, she may be classed as having ‘small man syndrome’, like a tiny dog who takes on the bigger ones without much regard to the outcome. Countless times she has had to have been dragged off of other students and is notoriously angry at the world. If only she could harness that rage into something productive instead of taking it out on the people around her, she could probably be a very successful witch. Unsurprisingly, Eden is a bit of a loner. She has a limited supply of friends and prefers to push people away than open up to them. However she is close to her cousin Toni.

Personal History
From the get go, Eden’s life was chaotic. It should have been a sure fire sign that she was going to be a handful when she was born a month and a half early. Her stunned parents were hardly prepared for her sudden arrival and since their little girl was whisked off to intensive care straight away, the crucial moments of bonding between parents and child never came. When Eden was let out from hospital her parents went through the motions but still in shock, were unable to give the baby all the love she needed. Always small for her age, and usually with a sullen expression, Eden wasn’t fussed over the way most little girls are. That suited her just fine, she hated being dressed up. She regarded the little girls at the playground with a mixture of disgust and fascination, one moment wanting to hold their hands and the next trying to push them off of the monkey bars (and not a lot has changed since).

However normal Eden’s life had been, all was to change as she turned seven. She had grown used to her father disappearing for days, or locking himself in the bedroom and refusing to let anyone in, but when the door to their home was blasted off its hinges in a haze of red sparks and her father was taken away, her life would never be this pleasant again. Apparently Tyler Ray  had big plans for the wizarding community, plans not well received by the wizards in charge. He was quietly tried and sent to prison, dutifully sending Eden a hand made birthday card every year. With Tyler gone, her mother Charlotte fell apart. Relocating to South Carolina, the pair ended up in a unremarkable trailer park where the stigma of living as a “redneck” followed Eden everywhere. Being bullied at school was one thing, but coming home to a unstable mother was worse. Eden quickly took on the role of mother to her own, and by the time she was ten her mother was a fully fledged alcoholic.

Though the offer to study at Blue Ridge was welcome, Eden felt massively guilty at leaving behind her dependant mother and as such was moody and withdrawn in Blue Ridge, refusing to make friends in her crucial early years at the school. She did however discover a knack for flying, where her small stature proved both a pro and a con in the game of quodpot.

Upon returning home for the summer when she was fourteen, Eden found her mother was now abusing heroin constantly, had barely eaten or washed and seemed to have given up on living. Within a week of being home, Charlotte Lee was dead off of a bad batch of heroin. Eden carried on with life for three days, refusing to look at the corpse of her mother and it wasn’t until he trailer park owner came to collect overdue rent and found Charlotte that her death was even discovered. The police would remark on how calm and indifferent Eden was to the whole business, refusing to move out of the trailer her mother had died in and returning to school right on time at the end of summer.

In fact, Eden hasn’t even told anyone at school that her mother has passed. The teachers know, but they are the only ones. She has shrugged off any offer of counselling, preferring to vent her rage on the Quodpot field or on the other students. One things for sure, and that is that no matter how ‘together’ someone may seem, what lies beneath will always rear its ugly head eventually.
