BEST MEMORY
the earliest memory of her mother she has; it's the first time she gets to go see the ocean, and the two of them spent the entire afternoon getting chased by salty sea-foam and laughing until their sides hurt. they stopped at one point to drink cucumber water and nibble on crackers, but that was the only time they rested from dipping into the water. it was also the last time she went to the beach with her mother.

WORST MEMORY
the morning that she woke up to the sound of sirens outside of her house. it was the morning that the police came to tell her father of her mother's death, and what the nature of it was. the day was inappropriately sunny, and she remembers very distinctly that she hated the sunshine and the birds singing while she was mourning the loss of her mother.

LONG-TERM GOAL
to follow in her father's footsteps and become a key player in politics. whether she wants to be an ambassador or not is still up for debate.

HISTORY
euphrosyne was born in johanessburg, south africa. her parents had met there - her father on political business (a hot-headed fire), and her mother (a thunder) spending time with her family there - and fell in love (almost instantly, her father claims). not long after they were married, euphrosyne was conceived and delivered, a precious little girl to add to their family. bliss lasted for four more years. euphrosyne was a child that, even in her younger years, was studious and most interested in finding out why things worked and the facts of life than playing with other children. she was much more absorbed in her own world and understanding and sating her thirst for knowledge than making friends.

the problem, however, was that euphrosyne's mother was a very troubled young woman. there was no doubt that she loved her husband and her daughter dearly; but for the longest time since euphrosyne's birth, dulcy voss had begun to suffer from depression. she thought at first that it would simply fade with time, as euphie grew into the lovely young woman dulcy knew her to be. but it didn't. it grew worse, and heavier, and eventually it came to the point where dulcy did not see a reason to get out of bed in the morning. not even euphie's tired pleadings at the side of her bed could rouse her sometimes. eventually, the pain of bearing that constant sorrow was too much for dulcy to bear.

four days before her birthday, euphrosyne was awakened by the sound of sirens outside of her home. the police had arrived to announce the identification of her mother's body, found washed up on the shore. as the police take it, she had left early that morning, when her father was dead asleep, and driven out to the sea and let it swallow her up until she couldn't breathe anymore.

the sea had been their sacred place, the place that euphie and her mother had gone when her father was busy with work. and now it was soiled, and her love for the salty air of the sea did not lessen except to remind her of the person that had left her behind.

the death of euphie's mother left her more rattled than she would ever let on to anybody. the fact that she had not been able to bring her mother a morsel of happiness was a bitter reality to her; she was losing control of her life fast, and only at the age of seven. she became quieter and more withdrawn; she was always a rather quiet child, but this was different. she would speak only the required minimal pleasantries to her father. she picked at her food and didn't want to eat. her sleeping suffered greatly, and she was, perhaps, the most somber child her father had ever seen. as much as her father struggled to get his finicky daughter to recover from the loss of her mother, he didn't know how.

when she was eight, her father remarried estella jane delacroix. not soon after, she gave birth to twin boys - aldric and emeric - and the five of them were sharing a house that was originally meant to be euphie, her father, and her mother. euphie showed estella only the utmost politeness, but she certainly did not want a new mother - or little brothers, for that matter - though she would never say it out loud.

she continued to be quiet, but as the years went by, she came bit by bit out of her shell. she was more engaging, more warm and welcoming to her family - though still directly solitary when it came to her private time. it wasn't until the age of thirteen that her father began to notice that she was rapidly losing a dangerous amount of weight. whenever he brought it up at the table, though, euphie would look at him with that matter-of-fact stare and say, maybe i'm just built that way, daddy. and while she wasn't, well, too thin, he still worried.

euphie's reasoning was if i am thin, i am strong because, after all, the media's idea of a beautiful woman was thin, wasn't it? she would be strong and beautiful and she would not end up like her mother. this progressed until she was cutting back on more than was necessary, until she was so thin that her body was beginning to reject her. desperate to save her, her father and step mother had her hospitalized and put into rehab until she was back to a good weight and functioning like a normal, healthy young lady. she returned to her family at the age of fourteen, and shortly after, her abilities began to come in - and when her father deemed fit, though he was reluctant to let her go so soon after her recovery, he shipped her off to the academy where she would be under good care.

the first year spent at the academy was quiet, clean-cut, and easy. she struggled with recovery, but kept it up, and she passed through her first year with good grades and an intent to become better. her family recently moved to the town nearby the academy in order to be closer to her, and to keep a better eye on her.
