History:

According to myth, there were three known Furies. Alecto, Magaera, and Tisiphone. The latter is Eryn's mother. The Furies were born from the blood of Ouranos (Heaven) when he was wounded by Cronus. Heraclitus refers to them as the "Ministers of Justice". 
Eryn was a very lonely child, practically living by herself in a small palace in the Underworld while her mom and aunties were constantly working. She always tried to steer clear of the places in the Underworld where the dead hung around, because she would always just end up frightening them. 
Besides the rare vacations to Colonus, a town in Greece dedicated to the Furies, she didn't get much practice with communication skills. Actually, she's pretty clueless about most Earthly customs. 
Starting school was her mother's idea, and Eryn agreed with her- but for different reasons. Tisiphone wants Eyrn to develop her skills and one day become a great and powerful deity of vengeance. Eryn, however, just wants to for once be able to make real friends and experience somewhat normal living and learn things like an actual student! (Being taught by great dead professors was ok for a while, though). But even with all that, she wouldn't mind becoming strong and powerful like her mother...

Misc. Information:
- Her hair is poisonous, so stay away if that scares you :')
- She's had a lot of time to herself, so she's fluent in several languages (but Greek is her favorite)
- She sometimes finds it hard to connect to people, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to.

Script Sample:
Eryn: *Crimson tears flow steadily down her cheeks as she tries to focus on the book in her lap. Droplets of blood fall from her face, and the wild serpents always on her head spring forth and fight with one another to catch them in their fanged mouths. She absentmindedly pets them as though to sooth their bloodlust, readjusting herself in her plush orange chair. The library is pretty dead (no pun intended) at this time of day, which both pleases and saddens her. No matter how much she wants to make friends, she is still more comfortable by herself. It was the snakes who first alert her to their company, suddenly becoming alert and joining together in a mutually unfriendly sounding hiss. She freezes in her seat and listens to the approaching footsteps until she sees a pair of shiny black boots pause in front of her. She immediately knows who it is, even before looking... She can never quite get an exact read on this person... and to be honest, it scares her.*

Paragraph Sample:
Eryn slams the pearls down on the dresser in rage. She is looking into a small saucer of what looks like black water that her mother had given her for communication purposes before she left, speaking rapidly in Greek. "{But you told me you would be able to visit this weekend!... I know you're busy, evil never rests, sinners must be punished, I get it! I just wish that for once it didn't have to be that way,}" Eryn remembers clearly the last time she had spoken to her mother using Styx water, how Tisiphone had so confidently promised that this weekend would be their first reunion since Eryn left home. But as usual, the plans always just fall through the cracks.
