Personal Style: Eudora doesn’t care much for fashion or style but she somehow always ends up dressing up in the Urban witch aesthetic.

From afar she might look like a homeless person, but up close she’s as chic as any modern witch. On certain days she might dress in something “normal” if she has to or if nothing else is left to wear; stuff like blue summer dresses that somehow fit her well and proper pants as well as keeping her hair in a bun.

Personality: Eudora is a kind old woman at heart. Her tone is gentle, her attitude forgiving, and her aura pleasant. Eudora since birth, whenever that was, always had a deep feeling of wanting to help people around her, to remove the stereotypes placed on her and to ensure the safety and happiness of everyone around her. The only reason she even opened a magic shop was to help people, and she adored serving every client with a problem. Eudora keeps her arms wide open, accepting anyone into her hut/shop who is in need of a fairy godmother, Eudora is even ready to lay her life down if it means that everyone shall be safe. In fact, that’s the only reason she didn’t escape from the city once the apocalypse hit.
However, Eudora isn’t perfect either. That kind and loving core is layered upon with emotions of desperation and hatred that cloud her true self. Years of witch hunts and burnings has embedded Eudora with a general feeling of distrust towards mortals, and while forgiving to certain accidents, crossing the line too far can prove deadly. Eudora, after all, is a witch. They are renowned for their deadly skills, skills which Eudora isn’t afraid to use. Eudora can be harsh, cold, and deadly if she wants to, and her lack of fear when doing so only adds to her destructive capabilities. Once she had deemed someone to be undeserving of her kindness, it can be very hard to get into her good books again.
Eudora also values her privacy. After centuries of living alone in her hut, Eudora has learned to appreciate the still and calm that comes with isolation. However, she isn’t totally asocial and will open up to one or two people, but she finds herself tense and wary in large groups. But, once surrounded by people she knows, Eudora quickly becomes very social and (attempts at being) humorous. Cackling over a cauldron and cracking jokes to no one in particular or the very nervous woman at the other side of the room, Eudora loves to keep the mood light-hearted and playful.
Habits: Mummering dead languages when tense, foot tapping, and etching sigils to remain entertained or calm.
Hobbies: Hexing, spell crafting, knitting, reading, and long walks in nature.

First Necromantic Encounter: Since as long as Eudora can care to remember, the supernatural has always been part of her life. Before even conception the supernatural has toyed with her life. Eudora barely remembers anything from her “old life” but part of the story is hidden somewhere in her mind, and it goes a little something like this.
Eudora was born to a single mother in a time as old as dirt, or so she thinks, it could’ve been in the dark ages or the dawn of man, whenever it was (~1690 in reality), Eudora would’ve most likely never been born. Her mother was sick and frail, the pregnancy was hard enough and the birth would be near impossible, she knew that one of them was going to die during it and she couldn’t just face that reality. She turned to God and prayed up and down, swearing to be a holy and good woman all her life but she only grew sicker and sicker. And understandably, she cracked. You could only pray for so long, and sometimes you had to take things in your hands.
She made a circle, poured a little blood and prayed to the only beings who really would listen. And so they came, one by one, and watched the pleading woman, hearing her case. To this day, both Eudora and her unnamed mother are unsure what those things were. Demons? Souls? Spirits? Gods? Whatever they were, they helped.
The beings approached her and each touched her stomach, and in an instant, all that pain, grief, and pressure vanished.
Shortly after, Eudora was born.
Life Before the Altsoba Massacre:Life for Eudora wasn’t anything special. Well, if you don’t count the fact she became a witch in her terrible twos, but that’s just a small detail.
Eudora naturally grew up an outcast, and that was something she was comfortable with. After growing up in a childhood she never cared to try to remember, she simply packed her bags and left her quaint little home town. She doesn’t remember much about her old home, the only thing she remembered was that it was bad, so leaving was inevitable. The town burned down soon after.
Little happened after that. Eudora built her home, she worked her craft in total isolation and very rarely ventured out. Days melded into the years and soon time was meaningless to her, the only thing that kept her alive was that daily grind of drawing sigils and casting growth spells on her little garden.
The little she did go out or meet people was when they crossed her path. But the most she’d do was give the occasional lost traveler a bowl of soup or the lost children candy and a map that lead them home, and the world just moved on without her. Besides, who ever needs an old hag like her?
But it was fate that she’d come out of her little hut sooner or later. To face the real world and all it’s wonders, and it only took the end of the world to crack open her shell.
Life Since the Altsoba Massacre:To say the apocalypse gave her an epiphany would be a little hyperbolic. Did it shake her to her core? Sure. But did it tell her something she didn’t already know? No.
After the events of the apocalypse, Eudora wanted to leave the not-so-quaint little town of Altsoba, she didn’t know where she was going to go or how, but what she did know was what she wanted to do. After packing her stuff and hightailing out, Eudora traveled in whatever direction until she found suitable housing in New Orleans. Settling down, she did what she always wanted to do, help. And so Eudora’s magic shop was born.
Eudora herself didn’t change much. She still was that mildly funny and mildly batty ancient woman who wanted to help, the only difference this time was that she wasn’t going to wait until the next century to actually start helping. She enjoyed every second of her work and never looked back at Altsoba, in fact in a couple years she might entirely forget there even was an apocalypse.
Character Quote: ”Screw the reed, everyone is deserving of a hex!”Deviances: Able to sense the supernatural around her, especially spells. While not able to guess what they exactly are, she is able to know if they’re good or bad.
Theme Song: Anything Else: Why, I don’t know what you could possibly want! But I did love the Goosebumps series as a kid.
