Eden de le Ulrich (Ee-den day lay Ul-rich) is a member of Salsola, currently ranked as The Cleric. Eden is the Despite the weird circumstances to her family, Eden had a relatively normal childhood. She had a lot of arguments with her father over the subject of her mother, it still being a sore spot for him to talk about. This made her feel frustrated, and looked to get her information from whomever would be willing to share it with her. She got her first taste of her mother's past when she and her sister snuck out with their aunt without her knowing. They came to the grounds of The Cartel, and Dahlia spilled that she was not happy in Salsola. It all finally came to a head when Eden became old enough to partake in her Cueponi ritual. Prior to meeting with Elphaba, during her first shift, Faith finally made her presence known to her daughter, finally knowing the identity of the female that visited her in her dreams. When she got her riddle, she knew her mother had something to do with it, and finally got a long break down about Inferni from Andrew Winthrop. It was with this information that she was able to pass her Cueponi and begin her climb in the adult ranks. Early into adulthood, Eden had grown a fascination with plants, especially the flowers that come around Salsola every spring. When Grievous Eternity came across her, the two saw this as a good chance to get her into learning how to heal others. She was happy to finally find something she could use to help the other members of Salsola, taking Grievous as her mentor. She has also seen the experience she had with her mother as a chance to try and connect with other spirits. She often found herself at the Blackwoods a lot when she was younger, and will still visit there as an adult. She can feel strong presences there, but one seems to stand out, one that she doesn't know who or what is causing it. It makes her feel a bit on edge. Her mother had been the cause of a few bad experiences, and cause her emotions to go unchecked, but it is something she worked on. During the Curse of the Sanctum conflict, she helped to take care of members that returned to Salsola with injuries when they had killed the Outsiders, as well as brought home the prisoners. She lent a hand to Aani Aston-D'Noires when she was in a high amount of distress. She was the first person she became a sponsor for to Salsola. Though friendly at first, Aani had been making advances on her, ones that were not reciprocated, and aided by a fuel of jealousy of Lyra Salcedo caused her to take action. Eden's drink was drugged and she was tricked to sleeping with Aani, which resulted in her pregnancy. Although she had taken to avoiding the other woman, Elphaba eventually betrothed the two together at Aani's request. Duty filled, she agreed and was soon married to Aani sometime after their children, Deirdra de le Ulrich, Catalina de le Ulrich, Arius de le Ulrich, were born and grew up, though not without consequence. Eden believed her ignorance to be the cause of her eldest children's trauma, and blames herself. During the end of their marriage, Aani once more drugged Eden and fled under the cover of night, taking their unborn children with her. When Eden finally caught up to her, Harlow de le Ulrich, Iverness de le Ulrich, and Syrus de le Ulrich had been born, and returned to Salsola on the word that Eden would tell no one of Aani's location. With Aani in her past, a new crime came to be known about her son, truly being the child of Wrath. That doesn't stop her from claiming the boy forever as her own. Eden continues to faithfully serve the members of Salsola, curing them of their injuries and illnesses, but she is no longer the naïve person she once was. Forever kind to a fault, to those in the kingdom and Outsider alike, she has been fueled with a new determination to protect not only those she cares the most about, but her beloved family. No more 'outsiders in Salsolan skin' can get the better of her, and when the time calls for it, respect is to be given. |

Appearance
BasicsBeing a coyote-dominant hybrid, Eden holds many physical features to this part of her heritage. Her snout is a lot longer and thinner in terms of height. Her body is slimmer thanks to its more coyote like build. Despite this, her ears are a little shorter, more rounded around the top and has a slighter thicker tail in terms of fur length. She doesn't have much in terms of muscle, at least not when compared to other members. Her body is much more balanced in his weight. While closer to a larger size for one of her mix, she is a comfortable mix of her giant father and small mother. Eden's fur is shorter than most canines, another thing to come from her coyote features. She is rarely seen outside of her Optime form, seeing as this form serves her the most purpose in her day to day life. When in optime form, Eden gets long locks of hair, contrary to her gender. She loves her long hair. Sometimes, especially when she is working, she will have it tied, but even then it is tied up loosely and towards the bottom strands of her hair. Her hair falls down to her shoulders at its shortest points and part down her back at its longest. Eden's pelt pattern is a mix of her families and heritage. Her primary pelt colors, being shades of brown (especially darker browns) and white come from the combined mix of her families. She shares her mother's pelt pattern of having many places that are speckled with lighter browns, grays, and white. Her pattern does not change much when in her winter coat. An oddity among those in her family are her pink eyes. There is always an air of gentleness to them, and are good at conveying whatever emotion she is feeling.
Clothing & OtherEden lives in a highly humanized pack, and dresses to impress. There are very rare times when she isn't wearing anything, and even then she is always wearing her accessories. Since growing more comfortable in them, as well as getting new ones to wear, she is usually wearing dresses, long and short ones. She saves any fancier ones for special occasions, seeing to simple dresses for wearing everyday. She will still wear other outfits, usually ones with tank tops more than anything else. These tank tops are more on the feminine side in terms of design and style. Her usual outfit in this regard is a light olive tank top with tan straps and tan pants. She usually wears non-dress outfits when she has to do dirtier work or is taking care of herbs/plants. Eden has two main accessories that she always wears: a necklace with two brightly colored stones and a vine around her arm. The vine is decorated with bright fake flowers and fake buds. She wears this as a representation of real thorns from the Strafethorn punishment to forever wear the burden of her Inferni mother. In the spring and summer, Eden will often be wearing flowers, whether they be tied to her fur or as a crown. |

Personality
PersonalityIn her youth, Eden was a curious and overly emotional child. She was constantly seeking to learn more about her family, especially her mother, and would get very upset when she would not get any answers. She was a friendly face among those in Salsola, getting along with just about everyone she seemed to come across. She was a bit wary of people touching her when she was younger, but has since broken out of that habit. She grew excited over small things, and loved spending time with her family. Many of these traits carried over from her childhood into her adulthood. Eden is a person who wears her heart on her sleeve, finding it hard to hide many of her emotions. In high stress situations, or when around things she dislikes, she can still get overly emotional, though she does her best to dial them back once they have broken over the surface, apologizing for her behavior. A friendly face to anyone she comes across, be it in Salsola or an Outsider, though she is slightly wary of the latter due to Salsola's biases. She has a strong desire to help anyone that she comes across, especially if they are injured or hurt in some way. Unable to turn a blind eye, she will offer her best help to anyone while asking for nothing in return. She is still very curious about many things, and is always open to learning. That's not to say that there are not moments when Eden can raise her voice, or be stern with someone. This is a trait much more prominent when dealing with patients. If any of them start to get resistant or moody, she can grow a bit stern in order to help keep them in line, or make someone very aware of the situation they are in. It happens rarely, as many seem more than willing to work with her when being treated. Because of the nature of her skills, Eden can often go through stretches of time plagued by nightmares. When this happens, she tends to force herself to stay awake rather than sleep to sink back into them. When she runs on her lack of sleep, she can grow sluggish, levels of which vary on how much time has gone without sleep. There are slight changes to her personality when like this, one being that she can get a little irritable in day to day life, though she does her best not to. She will always have a look of tiredness, but she will sometimes deny things are wrong. If she has gotten to a particularly low point, she can break down completely, and seek to let out her plagues on those who will listen to her. Eden can be a little self-conscious about herself, especially when it comes to her decisions on how she looks. There are a few voices that will pop in her head that make her nervous about what others might think of her choices. She grows much more comfortable with her own choices when she gets the support of those around her. |
Traits
Interests
Biases

SexualityWith all the relationships in her home, and having grown up around them, Eden is pansexual and transgender. She knows there are others that are like her, and doesn't think that love should be relegated to just one gender or the other. If there are those like her, then she would be more than willing to accept their love just as she would anyone of their biological gender. Eden doesn't really favor one gender over the other, and looks for companionship than she does their physical looks. She can be a bit shy when it comes to that aspect of her. When she does find someone she likes, she is more than willing to work with her partner, or partners, to live a compatible life with them. She will not force anyone to do anything they don't want to, and will be as gentle with them as she possibly can. |
Spirituality & SubstancesAfter a particularly bad experience, Eden has tossed aside nearly all of her family's traditions, choosing to focus more on the ones that Salsola celebrates rather than the religion that had caused a rift between father and daughter. She worries that her family would disapprove of this notion, but it is not enough to make her sink into something that personally caused her pain at a young age. Her spirituality comes more from her involvement with spirits and paying her respects to them, as well as aiding them in moving on to the afterlife. She is open to other spiritual practices in Salsola, but not any that deal with live sacrifice. Eden doesn't partake in any substances or drinking unless it is for a special occasion. She will drink more than she will have any substances, as there are rarely times when such a thing would be necessary. If it required for some kind of ritual, then she would be willing to take/indulge in substances. |

Key: Dabbler --> Apprentice --> Journeyman --> Master | |
Main Focus: Spirituality, Healing, Mending
Since diving head first into dealing with spirits, it has been the best way that Eden has found to be a means of communicating with them. She can hold conversations with spirits, see events that took place during their lives, and learn what might be keeping them from moving on. This method can be achieved in both his dreams, as well as nightmares, though there is significantly less talking in those. In nightmares, she will usually take the place of the spirit in events, and suffer their pain and loss. These never end well for Eden before she wakes up. See this M.A.P for inspiration.
Realism Note: Eden can only see events that the spirit themselves have been around for to witness. She can not see things they did not see or hear. Same goes for when she is speaking to them or the rare times hearing conversations. This is taken with player consideration in mind. Eden will not know anything unless the player of a spirit character wishes her to. If you have any comments, questions, or concerns when using this skill, feel free to plot out the events with Salena.
Coming a long way since she first started learning about healing, but she knows there is still a lot that she can learn. Eden knows about a variety of healing methods, herbs and their uses, and how to do stitching. she has a little experience in assisting with child birth, but is more hesitant to help with this. In turn with healing, she knows how to prepare a variety of plants, and collections that can be made for teas. She has a bit of knowledge on plants used for rituals and their effects.
Because Eden has chosen to work with spirits, she offers herself up as a means for spirits to speak through her if they need to. Even in minor possession, they can have a serious affect on her. Most prominent examples come from when her mother's spirit takes hold of her, causing her emotions to go wild. When possessed, she will express the emotions of the one holding onto her, but hasn't have very many instances of possession happening.
Always looking out for the betterment of those in her home, Eden has been looking to offer herself as a counselor. Many have already helped her with her own issues, so it is her turn to do the same for others in Salsola, even if they just need someone to talk to when they aren't feeling their best.

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies
Eden had been learning to read and write since she was younger, but found a great use for it when she became an adult. She keeps a record of the plants that are used in Salsola as well as the ones she finds outside their borders so that she can refer to them if she forgets something or is teaching someone else. She has also developed a bit of an artistic skill to sketch out the plants that are in her field notes. She doesn't do much else with her skills, but is more than happy to teach others how to read and write if they need help.
What started out as nothing more than a hobby has become something much more to her. Learning from various members in Salsola, she has started a garden at home as well as keeping plants inside her home as decorations. She spends a fair amount of her day tending to her plants, and is always looking for better/more effective ways of taking care of them. She doesn't have as much knowledge about tending to them during the winter, but is sure to learn once the first frost comes, though she has gotten better at this with time.
Since bringing Clover home, Eden has needed to learn how to take care of animals. This only expanded when she had been requested by a couple of Salsola members to help the communal animals with injuries or some sort of pain. Since then, she has been taking notes on how the plants they have can not only be used for luperci, but animals as well. It is this primary field that she knows she needs to work on, and is looking to take more information on.
Eden hasn't seen much of a need for combat, since she does not actively volunteer herself to be put into situations like that. Even so, she looks to take up a bit only so that she can protect herself. She is one to help heal others of their pain rather than give it to someone else. She isn't really sure what kind of weapon would be good for someone like her, so resorts to hand to hand combat for the time being.

Residence
- The Doctor's Dwelling
- Eastern Watchtower, The Ruins, Salsola
- Also occupied by: Aani Aston-D'Noires, Deirdra De Le Ulrich, Arius De Le Ulrich, Lexus Whitlock, Faith de le Poer's Spirit, and animal companion Clover
The eastern most of the four watchtowers at the four points within the Ruins. It has a brick and stone exterior, especially to the tower itself with ivy growing along the eastern side. The tower itself is connected to a larger living space that has had part of it turned into a storage space. There is no need for the stable space as Eden does not own a horse. The interior of the tower is primarily wood, specifically cedar and teak, and uniquely constructed with a complex and intricate wood-only joinery system. The first floor of the tower contains a hearth and space for cooking as well as access to the living space and storage. The living space holds a strong scent of flowers and drying herbs. It contains a table and chairs, furs along the floor for a resting space, and a spot to the side for Clover. In addition to many potted flowers as decoration, there is an old skull from Inferni's borders with the Ulrich family symbol on it. The second floor of the tower has been made into Eden's bedroom with the third floor giving access to the roof. A straight and narrow staircase connects all the floors of the tower. The bedroom windows were fitted with wooden shutters.Just to the side of the tower along the exterior of the home is Eden's personal garden. She grows herbs that are not common around Salsola proper or are in low stock. She also grows a number of flowers here as well as berry plants. She is continually adding to this space, and tends to it every day.- The Doctor's Dwelling

Skills & Abilities:
Personality: Relatively friendly with anyone that she comes across. She is open to greeting those that come around the Watchtower, at least when she is not lounging around or enjoying a kill. She's often so proud of what she catches that she wants to show it off to the world, show how good she is. It earns her a lot of praise from Eden. She enjoys attention in all forms, especially from those in the Ulrich family and her own family of lynxes. When it comes to Eden's safety, there is no hesitation. If ever a time came up when she would need to protect him at his home, she would not hesitate. She doesn't talk in high speech to anyone unless they are close with Eden.
History: Clover is one of the daughters of Till Van Ulrich-Lykoi's feline companion, Mirjam. When her latest litter of kittens was born, one was given to each of Coaxoch's children, Eden getting a female one. It was gifted to him along with a couple of other gifts when he turned one year old, to which she was named after a plant/spice. She has been living with Eden at the Eastern Watchtower since then. Looking to put her skills as a feline to use, he sought to improve on her hunting skills, in order to keep his garden free of vermin as well as some scouting to make sure that his home stays a safe place.
