Eurydice

Carodyne Baros (a.k.a. Caro)

Caro is a brashur hailing from Ni'Avan , something not a lot of people know about or are aware of due to her preferring to keeping it secretive.
Her family, the Baros, have ties to the kingdom with what was assumed a prestigious line of servicemen and women, along with the possibility of being fully related to the throne. She lived an early life full of luxury, but her very humble nature and down-to-earth personality doesn't really show that, and she prefers it that way. She's very carefree, and loves to be around her friends. She carries with her a sweet grin that could melt the coldest heart, and while she's positive, she tries her best not to be obnoxious with it. Some have described her as being very innocent.
Usually, she's seen hanging out with Calamity, Hearken and some of the other women in the VANGUARD when she's not so busy with writing reports and studying history. Going for dessert crepes are her favorite thing to do with the girls, and her always to go to when she feels down. People report that her pouting when she's faking being upset is adorable, though. She's also known for having a beautiful, angelic voice. Rumors back in Ni'Avan claim that she made a future king weep from a song her mother had written for her.
On the other side of things that people don't expect, Eurydice also loves hunting using a bow and arrow, and sometimes she may leave for a few weeks to live out in a cabin and hunt game. She'll usually come back with the meat turned into sausages or steaks, and give them to Solstrale to make into a meal. She also adores void apples, a staple from Ni'Avan, due to her eating them a lot as a snack when she went hunting.
Eurydice is one out of the four protagonists to OTHER | SIDE, a sub story for VANGUARD detailing her plan to tear down the ruthless king of Ni'Avan, Thoriin.

Physical Description

Body Features

Like other brashur, Carodyne is very curvaceous and has a body almost like a sculpted Greek statue, as normal for most brashur. The amount of training she did when she was younger managed to keep her physiology well primed. While she's not muscular, she has a slight toned look to herself, with her body filled with a natural energy from her species as well.
Her long blond hair and striking orange eyes are the first thing people typically notice from her, with a lot of people usually asking her about how she's able to keep her hair shaved down on one side without her brashur physiology making the hair grow back overnight. This is usually responded with a giggle and informing them that brashur can keep their hair short or shaved down by using a special gel once, then needing to applying it every so often.
Besides her hair, Carodyne also has no scars due to the insane regenerative properties brashur naturally have as well. She's never had to fight a foe that's caused a lasting scar on her body (and frankly, she'd keep it that way.)

Special abilities

Carodyne has the ability to control a whopping 4 elements simultaneously - something even most brashur struggle to deal with as magic already has a strong grip on a person's psyche. She can manipulate light, fire, ice and water.
Caro's magical abilities were already pretty strong when she was a child but only continued to become stronger with both the training she had at Ironfalls, and the VANGUARD training once she was initiated into the organization. She can use her water magic as an extremely weak source of healing but its enough to give Kamion, Sorbet  or Mercy enough time to assist the person in getting proper treatment.

Specialized Equipment

For a weapon, she fights with a light sword that leaves after strikes with her swings, which can cause further slash damage. She can manifest it from any of her belts apart of her outfit, as most agents apart of VANGUARD can with their weapons. However, she is fully capable of using her magic with her own bare hands from all the intensive training and practice she had gotten. It's very common for agents to see her with one hand full of one element while the other has another if she doesn't want to use her light sword. She can also use a bow and arrow very well, and could be considered a bard with her singing inspiring her teammates or giving them brashur-levels of power and defense.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Carodyne Baros was born into the lap of luxury and wealth - at an early age, she had everything she wanted and could not wont for anything. Thks was fue to not only being the granddaughter of the prevoous king, but because her feather from the Jub-jub bird came out orange. This is a color that indicates an individual who is strong willed and will march the country in the right path.
Even though she grew up this rich, she never liked this life. She preferred going out to the woods and feeling mud between her toes, or drinking fresh water. Her father would take her out hunting and this was when she had her first kill for game. Sometimes, he would even have her sneak out during some of her home school lessons.
Her parents supported her very well, but when Carodyne was pushed into royalty, she was set to be in an arranged marriage with one of the Demosthenes' son: Cullen. She was prepared for this at the age of 10 years old, and she detested.
Carodyne didn't like Cullen. While she wanted to be apart of nature and live in wooded walls, Cullen's grandparent (specifically Ajax, his grandfather) spoiled him and fed into the full delusion that Brashur children are naturally born to be the true kings across all of Midgard. While she was dealing with him, she was enjoying herself being friends with Fell, with the two enjoying iced tea made by her mother, and sitting under their void tree on this hill that overlooked the city.
Fell didn't like the idea of an arranged marriage as well, which is what made him especially bond with Carodyne further. She would vent to him, and the both of them had been playmates for a long time. Carodyne's parents were happy their daughter at least had someone to turn to, but Cullen's family was irritated with the possibility of Carodyne falling in love with Fell instead. At some point, Carodyne and Cullen got into an argument and she rejected him, coming out that her heart was already taken. This event didn't change the course of their arranged marriage, which only upset her further. She only became closer to Fell by crying against his shoulder and sharing her woes with him.
10 days before her birthday and 5 days before her coronation and wedding, the Fall of Wingaard destroyed the capital, Carodyne and Fell's home. The attackers murdered most of Carodyne's family, including her older brother Vincent who was killed right in front of her. Realizing this was a personal strike to their family, Carodyne's parents ran away with her to Abilon in Helholtt. Carodyne's disappearance made Fell bitter and cold, the event forever changing him. Carodyne was none the wiser.
The event traumatized Carodyne, and she refused to live the same life she had in Ni'Avan. Once she was of age, she became fascinated with the Ironfalls Academy, and pursued to study there and pass the tests. She thought of it as a personal goal, and to make herself grow stronger so she could protect her family.
Carodyne passed the academy with flying colors during the ardous 5 years of studying. VANGUARD wasn't around just yet, so Carodyne took up hunting game and living in cabins for a quick buck. She took care of invasive species, and sold the meat for a good coin. It wouldn't be until several decades later, the VANGUARD was forming and needed people to join. She filed for an application, excited for putting her magical abilities to a test not too dissimilar with Ironfalls. She was easily accepted from the tests. Since then, Carodyne took on the name Eurydice, named after the famous myth of the elven maiden fading away out of her lover's hand when he looked back. She believes it to be a homage to losing Fell, whom she now realizes was her lover.

Sexuality

Carodyne identifies as straight, though some women can pique her interest.

Education

Caro was able to go through standard education with Ni'Avan - by learning to fight with a sword and even using a cane for magic and enchantments. She left Ni'Avan at the age of 15 and the arcane studies came to an end, and she began taking "normal" classes with hueme children and other species when her family relocated. The last 3 years of high school were relatively uninteresting, with no practice of magic, fighting, or any extreme classes Ni'Avan children are expected to take.

Employment

Carodyne currently works at the VANGUARD organization, quickly ascending from the ranks of a field agent to a Lieutenant Commander.
She has a lot of responsbilities as a Lieutenant Commander, with it being, but not limited to, talking to clients about the reports they're finding, arresting criminals and bringing them in, filing paperwork regarding incidents for both agents and for criminals, as well as reporting data she may be finding about Daevahs and Voidseeds alike. Because she's such a high ranking, and has been essentially apart of the organization since it had been created, she's very knowledgable about many areas of the organization and is even one of the people that helps welcome new people in with a warm handshake. What she excels at even better is being a hands on hunter for daevahs who may be elusive, and collecting the treasures they could drop when she kills them. This is also where she gets her interest in history. Keeping track of the kills and collecting all the information on them, while also comparing other historical events, and even studying previous daevah attacks that may not be related to her own hunts is so fascinated to her that she's been seen reading and writing notes for days straight, since brashurs don't require sleeping or eating after all.
Eurydice is also likened to be a talent advisor - the one to interview people for their interested position in the organization, due to her sweet nature and her unbiased views on individuals. She'll also seek out individuals if the organization needs more people to join either of the charters that need more agents.

Hobbies & Pets

Carodyne enjoys traveling and will go out of her way to go to new places - if she knows a place that has a cabin thats there for renting or even just climbing up to a place she can stay at, she will do just that. She enjoys the slower life however, as an opposite to Delta preferring the fast life.
Carodyne also loves collecting things from other countries and nations, usually bringing back trinkets to add to her cabinet of collection. She loves making sure she had fond memories of the things she's enjoyed, and has done so since the Fall has happened.
Magic collection is also something she enjoys in, with making sure that the VANGUARD as a constant collection of artifacts that are either from Eon/Midgard, or completely outside of it, not mattering if its from another realm or a different dimension entirely. Because of this, she assists Zenith  with holding and disposing of magical materials that may be posed as a danger to civilians on Eon, whether keeping them safe in a vault, or disposing them rather safely with her own magics use. Documenting them can be done by either or, but usually Carodyne will jump at the opportunity to do it.
