GROUPWIDE, NOVEMBER 24 - The Riots
Eden grew up in a small town in Wisconsin. She knew what it was like to take care of chores and to put others before herself, always. Upon moving to California, the petite female was fully prepared for the cultural changes she may soon expect. Roslyn - as it was called at the time - was much larger than she was used to and harbored characters from far different backgrounds. Eden had always been an open person and fully embraced the differences she found in others. She thrived in Roslyn and worked had towards her medical science degree in hopes of one day becoming a general practitioner. Life was simple. She worked, went to school, and returned to work all in order to make ends meet. Despite her busy life, Eden could sense the changes that were to come. There was a tension in the air, thick and enough to choke her. Still, she ignored it, hoping that it was nothing but her anxiety acting up.
The moment the Riots hit, Eden found herself locked away in her home. She had never experienced such chaos before. Wisconsin had always been quiet, a state where people were often depicted as overly kind. It took everything in her being to remain calm while gunshots and screams ripped through the air just outside her door. Eden spent the entire while tucked at the far corner of her home, hugging her faithful furry companion Orion close to her chest. In that time, Eden had suffered more anxiety attacks than she could count and, one many occassions, was certain that the Riots would have spilled into her home and possibly take her life. She had no basic defensive skills, no gun or hope to protect herself even if the need were to call for it. Eden survived off the minimal amount of food and water she had, only venturing out once to grab an armful of goods from the closeby store. To this day she considers herself lucky to be alive... but with Lucy and his minions constantly running around, she isn't sure how much longer she may have.
