Eve

Eve- General (Head of both the Warriors and the Guards)- The Loyal Shadow

Theme Song

Mate: N/A, Formerly Shredder, Unrequited love for Hallow

Quirk: Invades personal space by accidentally getting too close. She tries to control this.

Eve is quiet, cold, and fairly ruthless. Eve is cool and collected when dealing with others, really only enjoying the presence of Hallow and Aka. She does, however, have a soft spot for Diamond, Magnus, and hatchlings she finds, showing a rather motherly side to the Ridgeback. Eve had a connection with Shredder that worried Hallow, but since the Bringer War, this apparent relation has dissolved.

In a dark corner of the Tangled Wood, Eve was born. She was confident and charismatic, having ambitious plans for her future. A powerful brawler ever since she was a young girl, she had a tendency to bully her siblings to keep them in line. Eve's strength grew more and more and she eventually left her home to see the world. However, she was a bit careless and was attacked by a few members of the Serthis Beastclan. Eve was brutally beaten down, and for every injury she gave, she received two more. It was looking grim for her, but out of the darkness came another Ridgeback. He was sleek and as dark as her, and managed to take down the remaining stragglers.

Shredder was his name. He was charming and calm, asking if Eve was okay in honeyed tones. The attraction was almost immediate, but Eve was not that easy to catch. Eve thanked him for his assistance and was ready to head on her way. Shredder followed, noting that he was going in the same direction. Eve allowed him to tag along. The two Ridgebacks continued on.

Hunting in the darkness and watching the moon was most of their days. Shredder learned of Eve's desire to be a great warrior queen. Shredder revealed that he wanted to lead a Clan one day. They grew to be a powerful couple- they had a fearsome reputation as far as mates went. Still, neither of the Ridgebacks were particularly good at organizing. Building a Clan from scratch was difficult. This was a problem, but it was soon answered. When a young Tundra journeyed through the Tangled Wood, spreading his word of a Clan near the edge of the world, Eve answered the call with Shredder in tow. They spoke with the Tundra, along with the clever Fae and old Imperial that accompanied him. Shredder agreed to join without hesitation, and so did Eve. They had a plan: use the Tundra to gather the dragons, and then usurp the power from him and take it for themselves. Borrowing was a tradition among Ridgebacks- the would simply borrow his services.

The Clan settled in the harsh Icefield, but Eve noted the general warmth of Hallow and his dragons. As they roamed the planet looking for more and more dragons to join, Eve came across a young injured Ridgeback. Lost and homeless, Eve took her in and named her Diamond. Diamond became the first dragon to join other than the founders. Over time, the Clan grew more and more popular- slowly, but surely. Eve had settled down as the head of the guards, while Shredder was the general, leading all warriors under his ruthless command. Eve noted that Aka always looked at her with interest, but his eyes would grow cold when watching Shredder. Eve became comfortable with her position. In addition, Hallow was always very understanding of her and always willing to help her. It hit Eve hard when Shredder approached her- the day of the coup was coming soon.

Eve had hit a conflict- Hallow was a fine leader. He had always been kind to them. Hesitantly, Eve approached her mate and asked him to reconsider. Shredder was adamant that they had the military force and influence to overthrow Hallow. Eve argued that it was unnecessary and that their lives were perfectly fine the way they are. Though it took a while, Shredder finally relented, deciding to call off his plans for a revolt. Eve was relieved, thinking that she had convinced him.

She was wrong.

Shredder launched an attack, his band of hired rogues and help from within the Clan easily overcoming the Azeryx Clan's defenses. The battle was brutal, bloody, and short. Eve finally turned on Shredder in the middle of the battle, saying how it was wrong to destroy a peaceful group of dragons. Shredder hissed in fury at Eve's betrayal, before lashing out with his claws. Since that day, Eve's shoulder has remained scarred. But her wishes were answered- Shredder was defeated by Hallow and exiled. The cost? Flow's mind had been destroyed during the fight.

Eve settled back into her place in the Clan. Hallow had forgiven her for remaining quiet, accepting that it was a difficult decision. But she had never forgotten what her mistake had costed. As she continued her service as the general, taking Shredder's place, she continued to watch and report to Hallow about anything relating to Shredder. She also watched her son Zeryx very closely. When asked on who is more important to her, she always answers that Hallow, her son, and her clan will always come before Shredder.

When the Bringer War finally reared its ugly head, Eve took to the battlefield like a storm. When Zeryx was locked in battle with his father, she intervened, taking the traitorous leader to fight for herself. Eve engaged Shredder in a powerful battle, with neither one winning or losing. Eventually, however, Eve got the upper hand, wounding one of Shredder's legs. Shredder, bitter and angry, decided to tactfully retreat and unleash Project Bringer. Eve joined forces with everyone else to fight off the monstrous threat.

Post War, she remains the General of the clan, and has decided to accept Xyzer has her adoptive son. She and Zeryx keep a close eye on him to make sure he remains loyal. She has not spoken to Shredder.

There are whispers through the Clan that Eve is in love with Hallow, but not even her own son Zeryx has an answer to this.

She is close with Hallow, Zeryx, Aka, and Diamond. She fears Shredder, and dislikes Vivid.

"Her strength is terrifying and devastating. I'm glad she's on our side." -Diamond.

"A fine replacement for the traitor who last held that position." -Magnus

"I am a general for a reason. Care to find out the hard way?" -Eve
