Tonight, Death — Eden Bellamorte (Patreon)

This emotion’s an ocean that can’t be confinedTo three words or one line or one breath or one lifetimeI’ll love you ‘til the last star in the sky goes outThen we’ll dance in the dark

Neoni — Tombstone

The dutiful daughter. The dreamer. The light of your life, however cheesy that sounds.

Eden is the third child of a local family that wields significant influence in the region and maintains a stable reputation. She grew up with loving parents and two older siblings who adore her.

Charming, but somehow distant. Attentive, but often with her head in the clouds. Eccentric in her own way, though she always hides it from everyone else.

Eden is a painter. Her works adorn the halls of human art galleries and the mansions of mages-collectors. If you examine her paintings, it would be hard to guess that she is their creator. People consider Eden to be more down-to-earth, easygoing, and ordinary than her paintings suggest. Many of them are unsettling, sometimes provocative. She has spent her entire life playing the role of a sensible child and mediator in family matters, so her restless mind confuses even her parents.

You met her seven years ago, when you came to the House Astarte. It seemed to you that she saw right through you. At the very least, she noticed something that no one else had, and she helped you before leaving without asking for anything, unlike others. Over the course of several years, you grew closer in a casual, natural way. Neither of you expected that your random encounter would lead to such a strong bond.

Blood doesn’t tie you together, but she is like a sister to you, and you didn’t give her that title lightly. You know her better than anyone else, and she can say the same about you. She shared with you the secrets she wouldn’t share with others, and you told her what you would never confess to anyone else.

Her family treats you well. You’re a frequent guest at their house, and they’re always happy to see you. However, the past year has put up a wall between you, though it is mainly your fault. You were afraid they would figure out your plans, so you avoided them. What will they think they find out you stole the body of their deceased daughter to perform a forbidden ritual?

Whatever they say, you will accept it.

You just want Eden to come back.

Eden is 32 years old.

She has long blond hair, green eyes, and warm beige skin. Her height is 172 cm.

She’s aroace and has minimal interest in romantic or physical relationships, though it took her a while to figure that out.

She always wanted to travel, but she could never leave her family, so she loved listening to the MC’s stories of their journeys.

She uses magic in her paintings to imbue them with emotions.
