Eun-byul

"All of life's a game. There's the winner, the losers, and those who aren't even playing."​

Name: Eun-byul Gender: Female Physical Age: 24 Date of Birth: January 18th Zodiac: Rat Element: Water Yin

Appearance: Eun-byul stands at 5'7" and is fairly petite, though not to the point where people call her slim, skinny, or wiry. She has round features and light brown hair, and she makes a point to keep herself decently dressed, clean, soft, and fragrant.

Personality: A rat looks out for herself. She doesn't make excuses, she doesn't beg forgiveness, and she does what she has to to come out on top. She doesn't consider herself evil for this, even though she knows what the other zodiacs think about her. What happened happened. It's not that she bears any sort of ill-will towards anyone else. If it does her good to help others, she does. If it is to her disadvantage to help, she doesn't. Everyone else is the same. They're just too far up on their high horses to acknowledge it. It's one hard lesson in life she's shared with all the (literal) street rats she's met: You take what the world gives you with a polite smile and you milk it for all its worth, and if that's not enough, you take what the world hasn't given you and do the same.

Unlike the conventional street rat, however, Eun-byul knows how to make herself more appealing to other people. It's not about being good-looking, though that can help. It's about being charming, and taking the genuinely good moments into good smiles in bad moments. It's about channeling the kindness you actually feel, and only using it when it benefits you. And it's about shutting off the truly negative feelings until no one else is watching.

"That's one of the things you learn over there. In the end you're all alone, and no one's coming to save you."​

Likes: Lilies, rain, rice, writing (mostly poetry not fiction), playing the piano. Dislikes: Glitter, cats, strong smells, self-righteous people.

Arsenal: Ceremonial knife - has a gold hilt with rat designs, and a curved blade with equally intricate designs.

Skills: Swimming, Singing

Abilities: Mental Manipulation - Perhaps more accurately labeled as the Power of Suggestion, this isn't really the ability to control minds directly, as it is to shift it subtly in the direction more favorable to her. When she speaks, she can lace her voice with just enough power to make her words more convincing or more difficult to shake as an idea. She can't directly change thoughts and definitely not emotions, but it's a simple matter to plant nagging thoughts and ideas, and if she really puts her full-force into it, she can convince someone to do something before they think better of it. This power includes mild illusions/hallucinations (faint voices, someone being a few paces to the right of their actual position, or something being a slightly different color) and alterations to memories.

Weaknesses: Physical strength - though she has very good reflexes and is nimble enough, physical ability is not her strong suit, as she's not the strongest nor has the greatest endurance. In a fight, she's going to lose. That doesn't mean she won't scratch and bite and slap back, but eventually she'll lose. As a result, or perhaps having caused the problem, Eun-byul isn't the sort to get into physical fights. Using her wits to remove a threat or obstacle is almost always the better choice.

Background: Eun-byul hasn't really left the heavens since she became a Zodiac, but she also hasn't interacted much with the other Zodiacs since then. As for the rumors around what she did to the cat, in her opinion it's no one's business but hers and the Jade Emperor's.

Why Do You Want to be a God?: Being in as high a position of power as possible is almost always the most advantageous place to be. It can be dangerous, but it's better than being powerless. Besides, scrambling her way to the top is what she does. This really isn't any different.

Character Description: Eun byul, the rat, gives off a sweet and kind appearance, fooling many upon first meetings. However, her cheerfulness is not fake, she genuinely seems to be a very happy person. But she is slicker than the snake and smarter than even the wisest Zodiacs. Kindness is something that she easily fakes, she is passive aggressive Zodiac who possesses the power to manipulate the minds of others. And you can bet she will use her tricks to win the race again this time too, no matter who gets hurts ... or even dies.

"I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way."
