Idrieus Eternity is a member of Salsola, currently ranked as the Paladin, the Elite Fighter of the Shield Tier.
Idrieus is the daughter of Mausolus and an unknown wolf dog male. She lived alone with her mother for a few months before getting separated from her. After wandering around looking for her mother, she was discovered by the Big Five, a group responsible for the murder of females outside Salsola and leaving their corpses within the packlands. She remained with them before being rescued by Artemisia Eternity along with her bear, Cirsium. Although Artemisia wasn't keen about bringing her back to Salsola, Cirsium insisted, and the three returned to the Thistle Kingdom. Idrieus presented one of the Big Five's coins as a gift to the Lord Commander, making herself a proper member of Salsola.
Starting out as a brat, Idrieus laid around for the most part with Artemisia trying to push her towards doing something more productive. She had been forced really to help with the upkeep of the library, a large collection of books Artemisia kept in her residential wing. Idrieus eventually took up a path in combat, mostly to follow after Artemisia. This all came to a sharp stop during the Second Boreas Conflict, where during a fight with the Boreas, Loki Helsi, and herself, Artemisia was killed. This forced her to grow up, and take responsibility to many of the things that were left behind. In her mourning, Idrieus took Artemisia's family name as her own in honor of her and all that she did.
Since taking her work to a much more serious tone, Idrieus continued to thrive in Salsola. When Lokr Revlis was called out and labeled as a Pentiti, he left to parts unknown, but asked her to look after his daughter, Elphaba Revlis. This was a simple task, though took a turn when Elphaba took over the throne of the Boss. This shifted Idrieus to fully hold onto her morals and her own conclusions rather than what others tell her, making her wary of Salsola, even though she would never abandon it as her home.
When sent into battle, Idrieus was often paired up with the former Paladin's son, Grievous Eternity. The two worked well with one another, and grew to have a mutual respect for one another. She finally felt like she had someone she could come to when wanting to speak her mind without being judged for it. Their relationship came to a head when Nickodemus caught Grievous' leaving Idrieus' home after staying for the night. After confronting Grievous, the pair vented their frustrations before Grievous asked her to be his wife, to which she agreed.
Since taking her mate, Idrieus has continued to expand on her skills in combat, holding her position of the Paladin with other members of the Shield Tier. She has taken up the jobs of Libro Guardiana (Librarian) and Historiador (Historian). In June 2020, she gave birth to three daughters, and her husband has welcomed a servant into their home. She continues to balance her work with the Library, the Shield, and her new home life.

Appearance
BasicsEven though Idrieus is a wolfdog, she looks more dog than anything else, from the way her ears are flopped over to the natural curl of her tail. Inheriting her mother's features, her muzzle is much more rounded than it is angular, though it does have a bit longer length than a normal dog, with the tops of her lips hanging down a bit further over her jaw. She has some toned muscles in her arms and legs from her constant practice, building her body more towards speed than strength. Her height is average size for a hybrid like her, with most of her bulk coming from her fur. It would be much longer if it wasn't for her, thankfully, shorter wolf fur. The longest strands are along her tail. 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 this form, she sports long, curly golden locks that at their longest length fall about half way behind her back. She uses these to cover the scar along her chest when outside of Salsola. There are many times when her hair can be a total mess, but generally works to keep it clean and straight aside from its natural curls. Idrieus' pelt pattern is a clear representation of the dog in her genes. Her pelt is uneven, sharing many shades of white to light tan, tan, and darker brown to nearly black spots covering her. These colors do not change much in winter, just that her fur gets longer with the changing season. Her eyes are a bright blue, ones that seem to contrast her serious nature. They are usually narrowed at anyone that comes in her path, and only softer to a select few people.
Clothing & OtherThough Idrieus lives in a hgihly humanized pack, she's not one to dress to the norm. If she is wearing anything at all, it will be small piece of leather armor, such as the leather bracers that were gifted to her by Duncan. She will almost always have a leather waist-belt hanging around her hips with her rapier attached to it. The exception to this is if there is ever a special event going on in Salsola. For gatherings, like the Last Supper, she will wear clothing, usually golden dresses with some design patterns on them. When she was married, she wore an outfit that was a combination of armor and cloth. She will not wear this for anything unless it is very special. Though Idriues doesn't decorate herself with accessories, she is always wearing an old, worn golden key from her neck by a leather "chain." |

Personality
PersonalityIn her youth, Idrieus was someone that came off as a bit of a brat. She would come across as rude, especially to those like Artemisia. Not one for wanting to do any work, she was a bit on the lazy side, looking to take a break with Cirsium rather than doing something, or would be one to vocally complain when she did have to do something. She took a lot of things for granted and didn't provide all that much to Salsola on the whole. She was much more risky, not too concerned with any consequences for her own actions. A lot of her changed in the wake of Artemisia's passing, but one thing that didn't was her often coming across as rude, sometimes to an extreme extent. Idrieus is a very serious person, and can tend to be on the grumpy side if there is something serious going on or she is not in a good mood. Another cause that could bring this to the subject are either with subjects she has disdain for or people she is not very fond of. It is not always her intention to come across this way, but doesn't always feel sorry for anyone on the opposing end when it does. Sometimes they just deserve it. She has been getting better since life has calmed down, but it is still there. Idrieus matured a lot when she grew up, and the final nail to enhance this change in her was the death of the woman she viewed as her adoptive mother. She stopped taking advantage of everything that was given to her in life, looking more to preserve it and honor things. She stopped being a brat, opening up a bit more to allow for more tolerable and polite conversations with others. She's more open to working with others than she would have been before and doesn't complain about anything involving work (unless it is a differing opinion and will only share this with those she trusts). She can be a very open person, but isn't publicly, as she knows many of her opinions can clash with those of others or with Salsola. She can sometimes be a bit of a workaholic, especially when it comes to her duties to the Shield. When there is something big going on, she will push everything else to the side. It can create a lot of strain, but it's hard for her to break this habit. Idrieus doesn't often allow herself to be vulnerable very often, and usually keeps this behind private doors. She can be gentle, tender, and even caring to the right kind of people. There have been times in her life where she shut herself in due to a state of mourning, but only those close to her will get the chance to see her in a state like this. If there are others that she either gets to see a new vulnerable side to, or have been in a state like she once was, she will often lower her own guard, looking to seek them out and try to ease the slump, just as some others would do for her. |

SexualityEven though Idrieus has taken a man for her husband, she still is homosexual. She does not find men attractive, and outside of Grievous, never will. He is the only man that she loves and will allow to touch her in any sort of romantic way. The most important thing to Idrieus in any relationship, especially in a romantic setting is trust and an ability to be open with whomever she settles with. She views this in high regard due to her own personal morals and views on Salsola and its people. She is not one to be overly public with displays of affection, rather saving that for the privacy of her home, or for certain special occasions. Can be loving and tender, but sometimes will lack on her end if duties take her over her partner. |
Spirituality & SubstancesIdrieus has had no interest in dealing with anything spiritual from the time she had first arrived in Salsola to the present day. She is aware of the kingdom's dedication to practice, and follows along with their set culture and traditions, but nothing beyond that. Since the Curse of 2019, she has felt more bitter about anything spiritual, as not only did it put a great strain on her and Grievous, but everyone on the whole. She doesn't see how spirituality can help much over practical skills and logic. Idrieus does not partake in any sort of smoking substances or drugs, but she does have an affinity for certain kinds of wine. Often providing bottles for Salsola's special events, she keeps her own stash at home for when others come over and for special dinners. She sinks in her inheritance towards this to ensure good product. |

Skills
|
Key: Dabbler --> Apprentice --> Journeyman --> Master | |
Main Focus: Warrior, Combat
Since coming to Salsola and taking interest in combat, the rapier had been Idrieus' choice weapon. It was something that worked well with her body type and built for speed rather than strength. Though she is well skilled with this weapon, she is constantly keeping on top of her skill set with this weapon.
Weapons similar to rapiers have been added to Idrieus' list of skills, being different kinds of swords, daggers, and knives. The basics of these weapons vary, but have close similarities with one another. Along with her rapier, Idrieus keeps her skills with these weapons up to code, as they are more commonly used and can be taught to those in Salsola more effectively. She has also taken to picking up hand to hand combat, as it wouldn't be smart to just rely on her weapon to protect her. It was taken up in her skill set as a necessity on the off chance that she loses her weapon or can combine it with her own weapon to get the advantage.
Being part of the Shield, it seems only fitting that Idrieus know some stealth skills. Idrieus has a solid set of skills in stealth, scouting, and observing, especially when out on a mission or in battle. Her skills are not as good as those in the Shield, especially when compared to the Striker and Emissary.
To keep her skill set as expansive as she can, Idrieus has taken some time to learn feral combat and staves, but this is more so to be able to teach it to Salsola members that might have interest in these skills. Idrieus does not often shift forms, so she has little use for feral fighting. Leaning more towards deadlier weapons, she has only taught staves, Elphaba being her most important student in this skill.
Since being gifted Dama, Idrieus has taken up to learn riding. She is no where near as good of a rider as other members of Salsola, she knows enough of the basics. Upon Grievous' encouragement, the two of them have worked together to expand her skills with mounted combat. Again, she knows the basics and has yet to use this skill in battle. She continues to work with her husband to hone her skills in both these fields.

Auxiliary Skills and Hobbies
Idrieus has grown up using the common tongue, but since living with Artemisia and Grievous, she has been picking up on learning German as well. She doesn't use this language often, usually only with her husband, but finds it is good to have just in case she needs to understand German or pass a message on to someone else.
Since coming to Salsola, Idrieus had been helping with the upkeep of the library that was started by Artemisia. Because of her assistance in taking care of this, she had learned how to read and write well. This comes in handy when teaching others and when the library needed to be overhauled.
Since coming to Salsola, Idrieus had been helping with the upkeep of the library that was started by Artemisia. What started out as a chore that Idrieus hated became a necessary skill within her set. She handles the upkeep of the library and her home on her down time. With the addition of a servant to her family, she leaves much of the cleaning to her, but still handles the upkeep of the library.
Idrieus has never been the greatest cook, but has learned enough of the basics to feed herself. Since inviting Grievous into her home, she has expanded her skills a bit so that the two of them can enjoy something special from time to time, though it is still no where as good as what he can make.
Idrieus had minimal skills in animal care, as Cirsium could take care of himself for the most part. Since offering her home to Dama, Ursula, and Eloise, she has taken to learning more about their care. She has taken care of both animals, and thanks to Grievous, keeps learning more about horse care to make sure she stays in Dama's good graces.

Residence
- The Royal Library
- Castle Wing, The Ruins, Salsola
- Also occupied by: Grievous Eternity, Azalea Eternity, Lilium Eternity, Whisper Eternity, Heulwen Chatham, and animal companions Dama, Cirsium, Eloise and Ursula
A stretch of ruins attached to the western side of the Throne Room, but a small gap between living spaces. The wing in one story, save for the tower at the western end. The doorway at the western end of the residence leads to the main hallway of the wing, and although the tower is also attached to this hallway, there is another wall and door separating it off from the rest of the wing. The main wing is separated into spare rooms, most of which are taken up by Salsola's collection of books, all organized and looked after by Idrieus and her aids. One of these rooms is Grievous' personal room, a room where he is usually growing his own plants. The tower is two floors, with the first floor being Idrieus and Grievous' living space and the second floor being their bedroom. Outside of the tower, there is a small pasture for the horses to free roam in. There is a small separate storage building for their equipment and other storage items.- The Royal Library

Skills & Abilities:
Description: Dama is a strong chested and sturdily built painted horse. His fur is a mix of black and white, with the former of the two colors covering the front half of his body. His mane and tail is a midnight black. The lower half of his body is white, with a few speckling between black and white where the two colors mix against one another. His socks are all white. His hooves are all pale, and his eyes are dark.
Personality: Dama is a very spirited horse, and has his own little quirks. He has a nasty habit of stealing things and will often prance around in his movement rather than just walking. Despite this, he can be a very good natured horse so long as he has a knowledgeable rider taking care of him. He loves apples, and will do just about anything for one (he will only pull carts when he is given an apple). He is a very smart horse, and fearless. It is this part of his personality that makes him a great war horse.
Likes: Like working, cool weather, being brushed
Dislikes: Dislikes coyotes, flies and buzzing insects
History: Dama was brought to Salsola by Bane D'Angelo when she left Khalif. He remained in her care while she lived within Salsola. When her, and her family, left the kingdom, Dama came into the responsibility of her son, Grievous Eternity. He took care of Dama along with his other horse Ursula. When he decided to leave for a time to go to the Outpost, the stallion was gifted to Idrieus, and has been in her care ever since. She has taken over for his care and worked to expand on his skills as a war horse to use for mounted combat.

Around Salsola:

Skills & Abilities:
Personality: Although an adult bear, Cirsium can act like an oversided cub. He can be rambunctious, and very full of energy. At other times though, the bear can come across as lazy. He will often lounge around when he is not doing anything. He loved to lounge with Idrieus when she was younger, and will still do this on rare occasions. He is very protective of Idrieus, being the one that vouched for her when Artemisia first saved her. He keeps her safety on the rare times when he needs to a priority.
History: Cirsium was gifted to Artemisia Eternity by Loki Helsi, where he had begun his battle training. When Artemisia was slain during the second Boreas Conflict, his responsibility was passed along to Idrieus. She has continued her mother's plan to train the bear in combat.

When she is moving, she likes to strut about, showing off her longer fur compared to other felines. She's proud of her look. Eloise is an intelligent feline, and very aware of her surroundings and how people are feeling. Whenever someone is feeling down, she will often make herself known to cheer them up.
History: Eloise is one of the daughters of Brocade Valentine's feline companion, Adelia. She was gifted to Idrieus as an early wedding gift when the Shield had gathered together for their first meeting among themselves.
