Personality-
When people look at Eden they often see her how she wishes to be perceived, as she is very good at pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes. Most of the time Eden, likes to lead a quiet and private life. She likes to live fast and free but often prides herself on doing this alone. It’s not because she doesn’t like people but because she has far too many secrets she’d like to keep with her. People just complicate things.
Eden lives a somewhat double life (or several, if you want to get technical about it). She does what she has to do to get by, working several jobs from bar tending to being a Vegas showgirl. From the outside she looks like a regular working girl, but behind the scenes there is so much more to this woman that she lets on.
Quinn is a very judgemental person; she prides herself on her own opinions. If anyone disagrees with her she’s likely to either ignore them or simply overpower their thoughts. She is extremely harsh when it comes to the actions of others. If she doesn’t agree with something someone has done, she makes damn sure to point it out. In no way is Quinn as innocent as she’d like to think, which makes her a bit of a hypocrite. She tends to take the law into her own hands by handing out extrajudicial punishment to those whom she believes have done wrong.
She’s not a violent woman in most cases; in fact she’s quite the contrary. Most of the time Eden is able to socialise fairly well with others and in a very warm manner, though she is not the type of person to go out of her way to make conversation but will participate in conversation if it is brought toward her.
Eden is particularly hard faced, complex, and somewhat unreadable. She doesn’t allow people to get close to her. She finds its best to distance herself from people; work colleagues remain just that and she never really has any blossoming relationships outside of the work place. She is far too secretive and cautious to enable anyone to start emotionally invading her life.
All in all, Eden is forcefully anti social. The reason why it is forced is because, she is only human after all and every person needs someone in their life because being alone sucks. Unfortunately, she believes that relying on other people makes people weaker. She believes if you allow your heart to be open, it makes you vulnerable and that simply won’t do.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Photographic Reflexes
With this ability, Eden is able to flawlessly imitate any movement or series of movements (even skills such as fighting, artistry or musical talents), after seeing the movements performed by another person. To achieve this knowledge, Eden must align her body so that it physically matches the stance of the performer she is watching, in order to reproduce any motion, posture or action exactly. The motion or skill set is retained in the memory of the user after a short trance of motion memory.
Limits-
Photographic Reflexes
Eden is unable to imitate a movement or skill that she has not seen performed. For example, if Eden were to read a martial arts book, she would not be able to recreate an action that had been described within the text. She is only able to mimic a skill when seeing it with her eyes.
When Eden mimics an action she does not pick it up right away. It usually takes two, maybe three attempts before she can get a movement right. Sometimes it can take longer depending on how complex a routine is.
Appearance-
Eden stands at five feet and nine inches. Her hair comes to the mid section of her back and is of a dark auburn shade, closer to brown then red. Naturally her hair is blonde, but Eden prefers to colour it dark. She believes it suits her face better that way. She straightens her hair because she prefers that look to her naturally curly locks.
She has fiery red hair and emerald green shaded eyes, which complement her creamy but pale complexion. Eden has a fairly rounded face with a small button nose, prominent high cheek bones, and full, luscious lips.
When it comes to clothing, she will choose comfort over fashion any day. The only item of clothing that she swears by are her heels; she can’t stand to go without them. Eden often wears dark shades of clothing (depending on the occasion, of course) as she feels by doing so enables her to be somewhat stealthy in her movements.

History-
Eden Quinn is the eldest of two children, she was born in Las Vegas to parents Markus and Amber Quinn on October 14th, 1983.
Her father, a police officer, provided as best as he could for his family. They didn’t have much as he was the only one bringing money into the family home. With two babies on the scene, Amber had to stay and look after the girls, becoming a full time mother. Growing up, Eden and Evelyn were nothing alike. Where Evelyn excelled exquisitely in academics, Eden prided herself on her physical capabilities, taking up such activities as dance, gymnastics, and some forms of martial arts.
Because Eden was somewhat of a tomboy, she was closer to her father than she was to her mother. In her eyes, her father was her hero. He was a cop; he dedicated his life to fighting crime and stopping bad guys and one day, she hoped to be just like him.
One summer evening when Eden was sixteen years old, the family arrived home after a celebratory dinner. Earlier that day her father had gotten himself a bonus after catching one of the local and most notorious gang leaders. Unfortunately, the celebrations did not last. It seemed that the rest of the gang were not too happy about their leader being sent to the big house and they came looking for revenge.
Everything was so unexpected that the family had no time to react. Their house fell under siege. Markus tried his best to get his family out before any harm could come to them, ordering Amber and the two girls to leave while he took a good beat down. Amber did as she was told and fled with her two children, however Eden just couldn’t leave him there. Her father was a hero; he saved people everyday and no one was there to save him. She may have been a little girl but her father had always taught her to fight in for what she believed in.
With that, the sixteen year old went back into the house to rescue her father. It was unsurprising that Amber soon followed in suit, leaving a 13 year old Evelyn out in the car. Unfortunately, Eden’s sudden acts of bravery lead to her mother’s death. The thugs soon left the house with Amber’s blood on their hands and Markus in a very bad way. Eden took control of the situation, trying to stay calm and get the help for her father. After calling an ambulance, she headed back outside to retrieve Evelyn from the safety of their family car, however, when she got outside Evelyn was gone. She lost her mother and sister all in one night and only had herself to blame.
After his wife’s passing and the disappearance of his daughter, Markus became a shell of his former self. Markus lost his dignity, his job, and his life. Eden was overwrought with guilt. She blamed herself for all of this; she had destroyed her family. Though she carried such a burden, Eden’s pain had a reverse effect on her. of suffering the unbearable loss, she toughened up and sought revenge. Her sister was still out there, she was alive, and she knew it. She had to find her; she had to fix this mess.
Eden enrolled herself into some free martial arts classes. She wanted to be able to fight and hold her own back because right now she couldn’t depend on anyone else. It didn’t take long before the young blonde stood out from the crowd in her classes. Her instructor picked up on her passion and thirst for knowledge. She had potential; he just had to push her harder. Classes soon went from being once a week to four times a week, often sliding into weekends when she would do private lessons. She constantly pushed herself, urged to be pushed harder and harder because she wanted to be the best.
She had done all of this out of revenge, but after three years of training it appeared that Eden had become driven by more than just that. Eden had lost her life because of criminals, her father’s heroics just led to tragedy. The world she lived in was not right; people were able to do whatever they wanted and often only got a slap on the wrist for their wrongdoing. The criminal justice system was something she could not agree with. Something needed to change. She wanted to change things. It only took one person to do so and she prided herself to be that one person.
She did not abide by such methods and because of that she decided that she wasn’t going to play by the book anymore. If someone did something, they had to pay for what they had done, it was simple. If that meant she had to make them pay, so be it.
Anything else?- (any other important information we should know?)
Sample RP-
Each time that she opened her eyes to the dawn light and realized she had lived through another night was a surprise to her. After the astonishment wore off, her heart would start to race and her palms would sweat. It wasn’t that she had doubted herself, that she had believed her lack of techniques would somehow get her killed, but because the attestation remained that she was still waking up in this bed, her bed and not a hospital one. She was in way over her head, yet she would never adjure to such a thing. No, she was far too proud for that. She was far too good at what she did for that.
It took several moments for her to completely pluck herself out of her bed. Sitting up, she rubbed her tired eyes and lethargically pulled back the sheets that hugged against her body. She got to her feet and began to walk across the soft carpeted floor. Eden was without her father for the time being; he had decided to go on a trip in an effort to find himself again and regain a purpose in life. Of course, it went without saying that she took precautions to ensure he was safe at all times.
She was good like that; she had good ties to people with such technology that she was able to locate him at any time. Markus wasn’t aware of that, along with most of the things in her life that he had become oblivious too. She was leading a fast-paced double life and often had to stand back and realign before the two began to merge. She did well at keeping her secrets, such as the treasured weapon and surveillance room she had hidden within the house. It was funny how all of these things were there under her father’s nose yet he never suspected a thing. God, if he only knew.
All of this was for him. Well, it started off that way. Now she was more inclined to help, to be the voice for those who couldn’t speak. She wanted to defend those who couldn’t defend themselves. As far as she was concerned, she was above the law. When people did wrong they had to pay for their doings and she would not be merciful when she brought the justice to them.
