History

An only child to a corporate executive and a dedicated housewife, Eurydice has been sheltered for most of her life because of her heart condition, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which she acquired from birth. Since her parents wanted to make sure she is safe, she was forced to stay at home, in which she immersed herself with hobbies such as writing about plants or sewing flowers on embroidery. Her body cannot deal with physical exhaustion, as such will cause her to have trouble breathing.

She was homeschooled until she was 15 years old. By this time, she had been exposed to Asian cultures, thanks to her private tutor who was Japanese, who told her of the many wonders of his country. It was also he who told her of Higashimori High School in Kirimori City, where he graduated himself, and knew that the school would be a perfect environment for her to immerse herself in the culture.

It was not easy to convince her parents to let her go, as she was overly-protected, but one sentence managed to change their mind:

"Life is short, and I want to be able to live it to the fullest. We never know if tomorrow will be the last day of our lives."

Trivia:

- Eurydice's name came from the Greek mythology figure, Eurydice. This reflects her mother's love for mythology.
- She goes around the school on her wheelchair, but she is not a cripple. Though injuries on her legs from constant tripping (from trying to walk) is hidden beneath her white leggings.
- Her wheelchair is powered with a big battery at the back, but if the power runs out, she can push her own wheelchair.
- Aside from her heart condition, she also has a selective case of albinism, which caused her hair and skin to be pale.
