♠Blood colour: Purpleblood #5d3ba5
♠Gender: Female
♠Symbol: Spade ♠
♠Personality:
Eridia has a strong need to know how things work. She sees herself as an independent and as a creative thinker, with the ability to seize the perfect opportunity and seek details in Alternia that most tend to ignore. She loves to analyze a situation and figure out a solution that is both simple and innovative. This troll is not influenced by those beneath her-- As she's a refined purpleblood, she believes she's better than most. Whenever others follow her along, it boosts up her ego; however, she loathes criticism and constantly ignores it as she considers herself the best. This clouds her judgment, making her dismissive towards those who try to share their ideas with her.
Eridia thinks she's perfect in every aspect. "Flawless" as she wants to be, she thinks she's incapable of doing anything wrong. For her to partially recognize her wrongdoings, Eridia watches someone else make a mess of things-- even if the events are completely different.
Smart and energetic yet terribly naïve, Eridia is a child with a large amount of energy. She tends to look at the world with curious eyes and rather avoid situations that bore her-- What is the point of doing something you won't like? She is also quite the prankster, even if a troll of her background should carry herself differently. Eridia's playfulness makes her passionate about her pranks. She does this behind her lusus’s back, knowing well he would scold her for behaving as a ruffian. Sometimes she doesn't realize when the joke has gone too far, thus she humiliates those around her. She enjoys the fact that she's pestering those who are easy to pick on; and she would continue push their limits until they shamelessly beg her to stop. Most of the time, her lusus would step in and punish her for acting in such a way.
According to her lusus, all trolls should act according to their blood color and never step out of line. Because of this, she has a strong belief in the caste system. Yet, she still has a lot to learn as if provoked, she might stand up to those above her, even if her lusus is against it.
Eridia is the type to step up in a difficult situation. She always has an opinion for everything, and will make such standpoint noticeable. She constantly discards others ideas, because she doesn't like anything that is not done her way and, if another idea was better than hers, Eridia would undoubtedly take credit for it. Riri believes that in order to accomplish your goals, one must do whatever it takes, no matter the consequences. If she ever needs help, Eridia wouldn't be past getting it through abusing her bloodrank. She feels the need to prove herself superior and stand out from the rest. Whenever she starts feeling insecure, she will analyze those near her and look for details that she can embarrass them with. When her confidence gets threatened, she gets angry and throws a tantrum, sometimes getting physically violent with others. She cannot bear to look weak.
She is confident in her judgment and even she is not as sophisticated as her lusus wants her to be, she doesn’t swear at all. (If she does, she would be rather pleased and bubbly because of it.) Eridia dares to be different, cultured and even a little educated. Although she sometimes excludes and gossips about other trolls, she is confident and assertive. Eridia is aware that she handles her own decisions. She is respectful to those above her, their wisdom is, in fact, invaluable. Petty insults will not get her down, since she appreciates when others are direct with her, at some extent of course. For her, it is quite disappointing to see when they prove themselves otherwise. Eridia has her own view of things and she usually sticks to her own conjured ideals. However, she doesn’t take the time to examine whether or not they make sense. This purpleblood is most likely to argue with others just so that they change their views, but trolls who actually analyze her may notice that she, at times, contradicts herself, as she doesn't put a great deal of logical thought into them. Others must follow the rules, obey the laws… everyone except her. Subconsciously, rules are made to be broken only by her.
Life isn't always about work, making the life of every troll, if possible, miserable, and survival. It is common for a refined troll to have several hobbies and skills. Eridia loves to draw and color, even if she isn't good at it yet. Creativity flows through her veins. Having a vivid imagination aids her to plan out different strategies. Eridia may shift between her daydreams and reality while she thinks of them. Her motivation to devise and create helps her please her lusus' everyday wishes. At times, she even paints her lusus’s dull white feathers with colorful paint. For her, a monochromatic world with limited colors is plain depressive. She likes playing outdoor games like croquet, and definitely enjoys a good tea party. This kid enjoys rough games that require her to get dirty. Because of her lusus's high standards, she is urged against showing such side. The types of games she adores the most are card games. She cannot go through 24 hours without touching a deck of cards.
♠Strengths:
Observant:
Despite being silly, Eridia is smart. Analyzing everyday aspects to remain entertained is tiring. Since this troll is observant to the bone, her attention is directed to everything around her. Picking up body language requires skills, observing skills. Eridia trains to read others's emotions and attempts to make sense of the way they feel. She is emotionally and sensorially overexcitable and is also very sensitive to smells. Not only that, Eridia likes making generalizations of those around her based on what she sees. Precisely those same generalizations make up a story that helps her remember every detail about others, what they looked like, wore, and how they acted. Everything based on that small moment she glanced at them. Another thing she likes is making deductions. Something about finding out the truth really gets her pumped up. She relies solely on her intuition as well as the present information and tries hard not to underestimate nor overlook things. If she does fail to put the picture together, she sticks to her hunches, no matter how absurd they might sound. There is nothing more deceptive than an obvious fact. The validity of her intuition varies directly with how she interprets the situation.
Ambitious:
Eridia always strives towards her goal-- You can't expect her to sit around and wait for her goals to just happen! This kid will get up and will even chase after her target if necessary. It’s almost like she posses an inner clock that never stops ticking, always pushing her to move forward. Eridia powers through any mishaps she may have and will fight against setbacks with grit teeth. Unlike the average troll who'd quit when the going gets tough, she perseveres utill the end. Settling for an alternative outcome is simply not in her genes. Eridia can't put up with those who are easily satisfied as she believes they don't dream of a better future. Whenever she hits a goal, Eridia sets another right way. Always working towards a higher level, she feels empty if she doesn’t have another target.
Decisive:
To live or not to live? That is the question. In life there will come a time to choose between two horrible options. By being decisive, Eridia can make up her mind, staying two steps ahead. Making wild and relatively rational choices keeps her highly entertained. Whether to do something horribly reckless, or just follow Lovedad's orders are some of the things she must decide on a nightly basis. Eridia thinks that being decisive will not only bring her power, but it will also make her one step closer to achieving her only wish: to become the leader of her own life. Eridia fears that relying too much on her lusus will make her grow into a indecisive oaf that will be obliged to depend on others. She hates her lusus's overprotective nature, as it only proves her point. Dependency comes from relying on those who are closer to you. Therefore, Eridia pushes him away, making him resort to observe her at a safe distance. Eridia becomes a bit paranoid as she expects him to appear whenever she's done something potentially wrong.
♠Flaws:
Blunt:
Most realest troll you'll ever meet. Despise the fact that she's a lover of sweets, Eridia doesn't tend to sugarcoat her opinion. She would give no honey, but only hatchet if asked what she thinks. She isn't afraid of any confrontation, or how trolls would react if she asked certain questions. Eridia tends to be totally honest, knowing well that she might hurt those who are exposed to the bitter truth. Beating around the bush will get you nowhere, and indirect approaches are useless. Many find her abrasive. Her lusus always advises her to be gentle when speaking to others. Since many dislike hearing the harsh truth about themselves, Eridia takes this as an excuse to be rude to almost everyone. She can notice the difference between an actual insult and a comeback composed of hurt feelings. She will let all words out before thinking twice it and she wouldn't be even sorry, even if she should’ve. One of the situations in which Eridia shows this trait is when she's about to get in the way of someone's relationship.
Stubborn:
She is an ambitious one, she has a need to prove her worth to everyone, including her own lusus. Her persistence feeds her stubborn nature. She will drown in obsession, making her choose risky decisions. Eridia would do whatever it takes to achieve her goals. Her focus, if she's into it, is incredible. Once she makes a decision, it is impossible for anyone to change her mind. Eridia resists to any form of change. When forced to do something, she throws a fit. She thinks she's always right, and never admits when she's wrong. Because she's single-minded, Eridia is often consumed by her ambitions. When she's out doing a task that entertains her, everything else turns secondary. She becomes so focused on her objectives that she throws everything else aside. Even when she knows she has failed a task, the purpleblood refuses to give up even when her hunt of her goal becomes destructive. She won't listen to anyone's advice, sacrificing her common sense to obsession. Once she makes a decision, it is impossible for her to change her mind.
Selfish:
Her goals, priorities and needs are always put first before everyone else, even to those who are in need. Eridia feels uneasy when she gives her efforts to other’s, fearing the consequences that may arise. She fears that others will distract her for her work and waste her time. She gets irritated when such distractions gets in the middle of a task, and might wonder if she'll get a chance to finish it. Another one of her selfish quirks would be that she is one fancy hoarder. This grave tendency of hers, makes the young troll keep things to herself. It is difficult for her to part with even the most simplest things. In times of crisis, Eridia would indeed hoard all resources for her own survival. Not considering sharing them, even if they’d go to waste.
♠Weapon: Her weapon of choice would be emei daggers, which are short-range stabbing weapons. They are easy to conceal in one's sleeves because of their short length. ♠
♠Appearance:
Spade troll from Quadrant's day Event.
♠
♠Home: Eridia lives in a mansion with spiraling rooms and staircases in the suburbs. Her hive is huge , so huge that she constantly gets lost in inside.
♠Lusus: The lusus that has taken Eridia under its wing is an avian-like lusus. He is a combination of a Lovebird, a paradise riflebird, a blue bird of paradise, as well as a Barn owl. This cutie is a picky creature, who opted for a troll that needs the appropriate instructions to grow. Eridia, being "all mighty" in her head, tries to satisfy his wishes, which are a bit tricky to fulfill. Eridia always makes an effort to aim high to meet Lovedad's expectations, even if it's something silly as a prank! Lovedad has a taste for anything sweet and colorful. If he's not pleased this fellow will indeed pester her until he gets through her thick head. (The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...) Eridia tries to comply Lovedad's wishes. Even though she doesn’t quite understand how his teachings will help her in the future. Yet whenever she fails, the purpleblood feels a bit ashamed. His white feathers are sometimes splattered with colors because of her love of coloring.
Lovedad feels attached to her, just like a teacher would love it's student. This bond makes it harder for him to punish her for the mischiefs she causes. He instead lectures her, hoping she learns. Despite the fact that she constantly pushes him away when she's in front of others, Eridia loves and respects her lusus. Her symbol more or less represents their relationship in a way. She loves him dearly yet sometimes he gets on her nerves by constantly scolding her. There are times Lovedad drags her back to their hive and isolates her in the dreaded room. Due to the social standards, they both avoid arguing in public-- leaving the drama for later. Nevertheless, she trusts him as she believes he will never betray that trust. The child thinks that they are both connected in someway-- even when they are apart.
He is a bizarre creature alright and his ideals prove so. Lovedad teachings involve proper refinement and equilibrium. A perfectly refined troll is one who knows their limits. One that is graceful and dignified, in tastes and habits. A troll with a high blood rank must be well-spoken, poised, mature, cultured and obedient towards those above them, and must never be trashy nor common. Being refined means adhering to the social standards, carrying oneself with an air of confidence and sophistication. He holds a bitter resentment towards those who are vulgar and crass; specially those who look at the caste system with disdain. Lovedad tries pacifying his little beast or at least set a limit. Knowing that Eridia herself is highly intrigued by those who are rather "unrefined". He fears his cultured child will get tainted and her potential will go to waste since, there is a slight change she may unintentionally adhere to others tasteless behaviours. Thus, he disillusions and lies to her-- taking away whatever interest she had in them. Pacifying her is another way to keep Eridia in check, although he only does that when it's truly necessary. In order to successfully "pacify" her, Lovedad extends his wings and fans them upward to his head, keeping his scary stare at her as if he was looking right through her soul. This terrifies her greatly. (Looks like this). He may begin uttering words to the child, attempting to make her yield to his logic and forcing her to act as the refined landed gentry she ought to be.
This lusus has a sharp beak, Eridia refers to his bite as a bloody slice of death because of the pain one must go through if bitten by this creature. His powerful talons scratch through a variety of surfaces, his long tails are used as whips and his wings serve as a shield.
(Will redraw him as soon as possible ^^)
♠Power: Non-applicable.
