History
Date of Birth: March 14th, 1960
Home: Freeport, Long Island, New York, United States
Family: Charles and Leanne Carter (parents), Brett (younger brother)
Death: Personal Tragedy (modest upbringing, went to City College, got her degree in accounting, began a fairly humdrum life as a moderately successful accountant for several major firms in the city; grew so disillusioned with her life that began to zone out all the time, and accidentally walked in front of a city bus), 1999
Mentor: Silas Percival
The Test: Trial by Knowledge (Reaped by Stygian troops, who brought her back to the Citadel for processing, and her life skills and obedience to the Dictum Mortuus made her a feasible addition to the local Restless bureaucracy)
Comrades: Darlene Lennox, Edith Carter, Giada Crosby, Jasmyn Hart, Elsey Nashart, Steven Dancy, Tenney Tenley, Tiffany Hurst, Valentina Ingrammar
Key Event #1: Personal Tragedy (of course, the Underworld was brutal and horrifying, so she played mouse as well as she always knew how, hiding in the background as a minor processing bureaucrat in the citadel)
Transition: Reassignment (her natural talents for Usury brought her undesired attention from the Anacreon, who promoted her and gave her more power through her accounting than she liked, but she began to turn it to her advantage, skillfully skimming off the top, saving up a hoard of oboli so one day she could escape)
Relics
Soul-Counter
Appearance: A small classic abacus about the size of a clipboard
Origin: Inherent
Effects: Improves Usury
Activation: She must take the time to count out the calculations using the threaded beads.
The Shadow
Appearance: Her Shadow very much reflects her personality: the bashful, co-dependent, lonely secretary syndrome. Her Psyche's will to make life better for herself at least now, in death, is her main dodge to the Shadow's misery and self-denigration.
Trigger: Whenever she's leading others or others are acutely dependent on her.
Significant Other
Name: Tenney Tenley, 2007
Nature: Volatile
Tenney
Weakness
Yes, sir
Edith is compliant, quiet, passive, and too sweet for such a dismal place like the Underworld.
Likelihood of Corruption
Low.
She may be very bashful but she's a good person and has a stronger will than she seems to show.
