~ Eurydice Aurora Stone ~

< < Behind the face > >

Eurydice like most people is a woman built on layers. Humans tend to have a wide range of feelings, emotions and reactions. No human can truly say that they are simple. Anyone that was seemingly one dimensional would just boring. The different tiers within her was what shaped her being. Eurydice has had some rough times throughout her years yet here she still stood. Even with that which lays in her past or maybe even more in the path ahead of her, she still finds a way to be cheerful; to have some kind of fun. After all she can’t be serious, down or angry all the time; well technically she could but that would make her such a dull person to be around. She's often been described as brave and determined with a hint of recklessness. When she sets her mind upon a task she will work on it till completion through trial and error because she refuses to give up. Giving up is just not in her nature. She'll try her best to work through every angle that she could see till one of the seems to work. Though on the contrary if nothing works she ends up with no choice but to put it to rest. Most of the time she would try again at a later date because she it tends to weigh on her. Though this is all situational based. Eurydice is far more than aware that some things just aren't in her realm of control, but it doesn't make it hurt any less. That conviction often leads to her being a bit reckless mainly with herself. She often gets hurt because she doesn’t stop so easily. Sacrificial would be the proper term to describe that behavior.

Eurydice cares deeply for her friends and family. A strong sense of loyalty surrounds her. She doesn't like seeing those she cares about in any kind of pain or turmoil. Eurydice would do what she could in order to prevent it. Any threat to those she cares deeply and watches over is a threat to her personally. Eurydice is not the one to stand with injustice. She dislikes bullies in any form they take. There are so many that claim to be heroes yet in truth are merely glorified bullies. She's never one to jump into a situation without assessing it firstly. Even with her training for situational awareness jumping to conclusions without having a brief understanding is not idealistic for her. Everything is not always as they seem and she prefers to err on the side of caution in such cases. She doesn't claim to be the essence of a hero for Eurydice would do what she needs to preserve some form of order. She has a clear understanding that there is no shadow without light. No good without evil, yet all the same evil should not be allowed to flourish. She believes in a balance being maintained for the scales should never tip in the favor of one. She believes all it would cause is uncontrollable chaos. Though yes she may fight more on the side of justice Eurydice is more aware than most that justice is not always so righteous. Justice is not always blind and what it means to be a hero is a matter of perspective. Everyone has darker parts of themselves and she is no exception.

Contradicting to the fact that she is very loyal she does have a small trust issue. Regarding matters of herself she isn't incline to entrust someone with her heart or deepest secrets. In truth it's uncertain if it's really a trust issue or merely just the fear. The fear for falling for someone only to have them ripped away from you. The fear of caring so deeply only to have them betray you. And she has had those whom have betrayed her whether she fully trusted or not. It does appear to be strange for someone to be so loyal yet all the same be so wary all the same. Clearly it is not what it seems. It is possible the fear is her constant worry that any bad blood she created would come for those she cares for. With that it gives her greater reason to remain strong so that getting knocked down becomes much harder and standing gets easier. Eurydice has a tendency to be pretty straight forward though once in awhile might try to sugar coat things depending on the person and situation. She doesn't speak with the intentions to hurt anyone's feelings but she often believes that the truth is better than a lie. Contradicting to that maybe sometimes a little white lie is necessary. It is a safe bet that Eurydice takes her training rather seriously and is displeased with those that make a mockery out of it. If someone opted to train with her they would find themselves being pushed as far as she could take them. She might come off a bit harsh regarding it but she has the best intentions. The results would be rewarding in the end.

Overall Eurydice as a good heart and a strong will to do what she needs to. Initially because she isn't seen smiling right off the back some think she's unapproachable yet it seems to still draw people in even more. Once the conversation has begun people tend to realize how approachable she really is. When she really likes someone she tends to throw out joking teases a bit more than she usually does. It is clear her friends and family mean the most to her. She is a good person to have by ones side. Though once more there are darker parts of herself she may not be proud of but sometimes what is necessary must be done.

'Experience is a cruel teacher,
It gives you a test before presenting the lesson'

It is often spoken about the balance of the world. Yin and Yang. Light and dark. One cannot, does not exist without the other. So it could be safe to say that in most of us exists both light and shadow. But then there are those with no soul at all. There is no luminescence behind their blackened spirit. Some people are just purely callous, tyrannical. Then there's the luxury of the sweet innocence of the young. The melody of endless giggles, the smile that brightens the roughest of days. But purity always seems to get tainted. Stained with the black undertone of the world. We can pretend to be ignorant to it's existence but we would only be lying to ourselves. Denying the darkness that lies in the world is foolishness. Yet still we try. Still we fear it because it is our natural reaction to. Fear eventually envelops us all in it's own way. But I will not let it control me. I will not let it determine my fate. I will prove to myself that I am in control of it.

Life might not have always been kind to me. But life had granted me experiences to take along. It tested me long before showing me what the lesson could be. I had a family once. They weren't bad at first. Loving from what I remember for awhile at least. I had an older brother Caleb Cross and; fraternal twin sisters, Sasha and Lily Cross. Eight years went by before everything would change and my trials would begin, though that point in my life still feels a bit fuzzy. Some days I recall it completely other days it was a distant unobtainable memory. We had moved to Osaka, Japan regarding business with my father. Lily had gotten ill and Caleb and Sasha seemed a bit distant as they were hardly ever home. I never truly understood the change, especially the why, but my father had grown into a drunk and my mother a drug addict. Maybe it was traits already there prior but took this long to rear it's ugly head. Lily was mainly in the hospital and I was home alone when the abuse started. I was afraid then, I can admit that. Caleb and Sasha I noticed had disappeared and when I questioned I only got hit again. I wanted to search for them but I was so young. What could I do honestly? Nothing cause I was weak and without the proper means. Either way I tried a small search since my parents didn't care much to pay me much attention, I was practically free to roam about which led me to meeting someone who became a dear friend and a mentor for a short while Victor. He was sixteen but an impressive street fighter that I came across one of the days I roamed and he helped me out of a bad situation. Can't really say why but I gravitated towards him, asked him to help me get strong like him. Naturally he laughed at first but he soon understood how serious and determined I was.

There was no luck in finding anything on my missing sibling's, but again I say there wasn't much someone my age could remotely do. Home life had grown increasing more troublesome. My parents were too into themselves and their addictions I had to fend for myself. Grow up quicker than intended. The child always pays the price for their parents sins don't they? My father remained abusive and my mother absentee. One faithful night my father made an attempt to take it to a heightened level. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't remember the smell of the alcohol that came from him as if he had taken a swim in a pool full of it. I remember the pressure of his weight holding me down as I struggled. Why did I have to be so weak? Everything seemed so much like a blur sometimes I can't recall how I got off his grip to grab the switchblade Victor had given me. After that everything seems to turn into flashes. The memory faded in and out in twisted blurs. At the end of it all there was bloodshed. At the end both were dead; him and my mother. In the end there was just me a scared, shaken little girl with nowhere to go. In the pouring rain I ran unable to get to far away enough for I bumped into an individual whom I can honestly say became a saving grace. Kilik Stone was his name. Kilik would become the big brother I failed to have or rather lost once upon a time ago.

The many years under Kilik's wing had proved most fruitful. Skill sets I had acquired and my mind shaped and molded to maturity. Every now and again I had my moments where I just felt like letting loose and having fun. Once in awhile allowing a little mischievous way to peak out. I mean who could run through life being so serious all the time. My life was constantly on the move shifting from country to country, to state to state. I've had the pleasure to experience various cultures including various martial arts. I always wanted to continue to get stronger. Continue to better myself. Better prepare myself. Life was a constant challenge and it was never going to let up. I wanted to protect those I cared about even if I made the sacrifices to do so. I was always willing to go the mile maybe some others wouldn't. Sometimes to achieve one thing you had to go a route most often not walked. After all the traveling about I settled mainly in Hawaii. I always enjoyed the atmosphere and the people were a great pleasure. Aside from the work I occasionally did with Kilik, I had gotten into archaeology, and dove into the studies of various cultures. I had always been into art, culture and various other outlooks that interested me. While in Hawaii I spent most of my time exploring and chatting with the locals so much I occasionally teach the youth. Did I mention I had a daughter? A beautiful little five year old who was everything my princess. My heart. She too would join in on the classes despite most of the kids usually being older than her, but it matter not. All I wanted was her happiness. Her safety. My life was complicated still, and with that complication was impart as to why her father was absent. Not absent by choice, but fate wanted to select him into the afterlife much to my protest. Everything is not within my control. Life is precious and we have to make the best out of what we are given.
