PB: Paprika from… Paprika
Appearance: Eileen is a rather plain girl. She has pasty white skin, messy, short fire red hair, chocolate eyes, and freckles. Lots and lots of freckles. She despises her freckles and often covers them up with whatever is available. Her lips are a rather soft pink color, and her nose angular and pointed. Her parents are unable to afford for her to get haircuts, so she mainly does her hair herself, leaving it looking patchy and uneven. However, she sort of likes this look, as she feels it adds some flair and personality to her otherwise bland appearance.

Physically speaking, everything about her body screams ‘average’. Standing at a fair 5’6”, she is a bit lanky and has almost no fat. A good bit of her mass is made of muscle, considering she does a lot of physical labor, but it is a bit hindered because her parents can’t afford 3 meals a day. As such it balances out a bit. She weighs around 120 lbs.

Clothing wise, she wears whatever is available, which isn’t much. She gets most of her clothes from secondhand stores. She does have an affinity for reds and greens, however, so usually you’ll catch her in those colors. Style wise, she just likes to wear shirts, slacks, and gauchos, and is very happy that women wearing less feminine clothes are at least moderately socially acceptable in America, as in Ireland it was not.

Her uniform is very simple. She wears a cheap, cotton, white shirt and often wears a similar sweater over it. Her skirt goes just past her knees, and she wears long grey socks.

Personality: Eileen is a simple girl. Very humble, she is modest almost to a fault, to where she will blatantly deny compliments given to her, almost as if they offend her. She was born to work. She takes nothing but joy from doing anything asked of her.

Very aloof when it comes to people, she tends to ignore them and would rather spend her time doing… anything other than socializing. People just fly by her head, really. She doesn’t even pay attention to them.

She’s also honest. She will tell you her opinion if you ask for it, even if you want to be let down easy. It’s just in her nature; something that she does. Lying feels wrong to her, and she does not like feeling immoral.

Though she is not a smart girl, by far, she is very much insightful and perceptive. She seems to have life all figured out at this point, and tends to be very philosophical in her approach at life.

Another reason Eileen doesn’t tend to gravitate towards others is because she doesn’t understand people. They’re so weird, and are just way too odd for her to deal with, along with having too much emotional baggage that she simply doesn’t care for. She much rather spend her time with nature, and with animals, who are much more simple and easy to understand. Humans are just too emotional for her. She, herself, is not able to really express these emotions as fluidly as others. She is not aware of how some of these emotions feel; such as sadness, and anger, and depression. If these feelings do come to her, she will not know them as such. She gets very confused when it comes to how she feels about things.

Speaking of nature, she loves it. Technology confuses her. She barely knows how to work a telephone. She will spend most of her free time outside, and have a lovely herb garden in her yard that she spends more time tending to then she does studying.

Family is also very important to Eileen. She and her parents are very close, and she is very traditional when it comes to family life. Her father, of course, is the ‘man' of the house, and often sits in his armchair while her and her mother prepare dinner. This is fine by her though; this is how it’s supposed to be, in her eyes. Children are supposed to be subservient to their father.

If you manage to befriend her, she is actually very warm and friendly, and very much so a good friend. She is quick to invite you to her home, to meet her parents, and you really feel like she’s a genuine friend. She’s a person you can trust. In fact, ‘deceit’ isn’t even in her vocabulary. How could she possibly do something to someone she cares for?

History: Eileen is not originally from America. Instead, she hails from Ireland, where her family has been rooted for generations. She is full-blooded Irish, hence the average Irish redheaded appearance she has.

She lived on a small ranch during her time in Ireland. In fact, her ranch was so cut off from civilization, she wasn’t even born in a hospital. Instead, her mother gave birth to her out in the barn, and her aunt functioned as her midwife. It was a lengthy, painful process, but it couldn’t be helped. They hadn’t the time or money to go to a hospital.

Eileen has worked all her life. This is a fact. From her 4th birthday on, she assisted on the ranch to help make ends meet. If she hadn’t helped, then they simply wouldn’t even be able to eat. As such, Eileen has outstanding work ethic and is very diligent.

Since they had a very destitute life, her parents decided it best for them to pursue better opportunities in good Ol’ America. So, a few months after her 15th birthday, they set sail for America. She was not originally intended to attend Adessi. The prestigious school had much too high of a tuition for her poor family. Instead, a wealthy Irish businessman donated money to her family, enough to pay for tuition for her schooling. She was recommended by the nuns who taught her back in Ireland, as the businessman attended the same school Eileen had previously. In return, however, Eileen must function as the man's house sitter, free of charge, as he often is elsewhere. So, Eileen stays and watches his house and weekends and Wednesdays.

There was a great deal of resentment for her, of course. People often threw mean and evil words at her, because she was of a lower class. They made fun of her raggy, hand me down clothes, her disheveled hair, her unkempt body, and her gauche body language and mannerisms. This made Eileen a bit distant from humans. She hadn't much experience with humans, other than her parents and aunt, so this definitely put her off from them a great amount.
