5'6". 114 lbs. Eden is thin and dainty, lacking in cleavage and womanly hips. She has little muscle and general bodily strength, but she has good poise despite this.
Eyes & Hair

Distinguishing Features
Eden suffers from dry skin and eczema. There's a patch of dry skin on her shoulder that never seems to clear up no matter what ointment she applies to it. It is often covered up, but when it becomes irritated and inflamed it is fairly noticeable.

Personality
As a general disposition, Eden is pleasant and very personable. Thanks to her empathy skills, she is careful before she acts and attentive when it comes to treating others as she would like to be treated; this often means she is comfortable to sit back and listen rather than talk, as it can become confusing when she is feeling what her partner is.
Eden will avoid conflict like the plague. She does not like to be dragged into arguments or fights and will escape from these situations as politely as she can. In fact, Miss Shaw is even opposed to becoming the mediator, which can be problematic as it is often presumed that she is the perfect person for this job. It is a difficult way to be, of course, as there is no such thing as a life without conflict.
Naïveté is Eden’s largest downfall. She trusts easily, and so is easy to hurt and manipulate. She’s as malleable as soft dough and becomes a cheap pawn in people’s games without much of a question.
In short, Eden Marie Shaw is a very insightful, emotionally intelligent but ultimately naïve girl. She could be your loyal best friend or an unknowing playing card in your big, manipulative game.

Family
James Shaw, 45; Caroline Shaw, 43 - both own a family orientated restaurant.
History
There is nothing incredibly remarkable about Eden’s past, only that it was a stable and happy one. She grew up in a cosy corner of Somerset, England, under the sheltered care of two very loving parents who owned a family-orientated restaurant. Her family were supportive of her choice to take an educational route through music, and she spent the majority of her teenage years honing a passion for music and people.
She is an only child, and so when quirks in her arose that became more intensely worrying for her parents as she grew older, their natural reaction was to put it down to mental instability. Eden's moods and sentiments would change erratically, especially depending on who she was around. Sometimes she would burst into hysterical tears, others she would be overcome with joy and obsession.
In fact, as she grew older and found herself more frequently in social situations with strangers, these manic episodes became more frequent. Little did she know then, that her condition was nothing more that a case of superhuman empathy, and that she was only tapping into the emotions of those around her.
Just before she was due to collect her diploma in music and ship herself off to university and the greater world, Eden's parents, despite how much they fought it for all those years, sent her away to The Lyle House in the hopes of restoring their beloved only child.
And now, she has arrived in The House bewildered, albeit accepting of her parents decision. She doesn't quite feel like she should belong here, though.

Abilities
Empathy. Just like a beautiful piece of music can hold more sentiment than any man could ever put into words, Eden has privy to the thoughts and feelings of others around her in a superhuman sense. It can be a confusing experience for her, as it is difficult to differentiate these sentiments from her own at the best of times. It can be extremely unpleasant for her to be around an angry or depressed person. However, her ability gives her an enhanced understanding of people's emotions and a heightened social intelligence and patience.
Diagnosed Disease
Bipolar Disorder
Connection
Though for the most part, Eden's mood stays unchanged by those around her anymore. However she will occasionally feel another's emotion at touch. Usually it won't have much affect on her unless she wills it into herself.
