______________[Personality]_______________­_
One major point to note when it comes to Lois's personality is that it has been severed into two due to reasons that will be revealed. This other half of Lois's person calls itself Eht Hcil (pronunciation: Et (H)sēēl), also referred to as έδαφος (Édafos), or Soil.

• Lois is a shy and reserved person at times, and usually tries to spend time reading books, mostly novels and from time to time poetry. She is extremely gentle and appears to try to be optimistic most of the time. She is a self-contained and good-natured individual that isn't too fond of violence, but understands when it is needed. Being that she's constantly in a situation in which she wants as little confrontation as possible, she tries to avoid contact with people if it's unnecessary. But when she does, she's kind and tries to give respect where it's due.
With that being said, this does not mean she isn't capable of being assertive, and sometimes holds quite the wit.
However, there is much more beneath the surface, for underneath the surface of each gentle smile lies chaos and struggle, and through her veins flows cursed and wicked blood. Knowing this, she is fearful and can result in anxiousness when around too much hostility.

•έδαφος (Édafos) is the result of torture, the dark arts, and failed human transmutation manifesting itself as a curse. Édafos is what brings stress to Lois as she almost constantly has to be enough on guard to keep her split personality in check, though Eht Hcil has been known to overcome her attempts when times are dire.
Eht Hcil is typically almost a completely different entity that is capable of possessing Lois through bonds of blood, and reflects all of Lois's negative emotions. She is brutal, arrogant, disrespectful, and overall feral. She specializes in carnage and is more liable to use brute force in barbaric fashions. Her intentions are to take control over Lois's body and become the dominant personality due to her refusal to put up with Lois's softness of constantly fleeing while being pursued instead of slaughtering their pursuers, which she believes will eventually result in them both being killed. She also occasionally makes attempts at tempting Lois to "let her out" to deal with confliction based situations by means of violence. Eht is also fond of discouraging Lois every chance she gets, trying to further break her mentally.
But there are also times where Eht tells Lois what needs to be heard no matter how harsh, not that she would care to any greater extent.
Note: When Eht is able to seize control, the dark magic that her freedom emits causes alterations in Lois's appearance, such as pale shade of decaying blue flesh and exposed teeth.

_______________[Background]______________:

Entry 56 of Cedric Hoffliaer's Journal 24 years ago:

March 5th

"There has been a halting difficulty in our work, for the catalyst of our research and experimentation has given us profound results. Instead of producing the initial one offspring as planned, we've managed to receive three candidates for the heir, two in which are female and one male. The preparations for the traditional ritual can now commence and carry on as planned. Word of this news will surely bode well with Lord Beustachian."

On March 5th (of year whatever xD), three unnamed children were born into the world. Triplets. Though it was rather unexpected, all three were deemed candidates to a forgotten bloodline of royalty that was casted from it's kingdom due to their rather disturbing affairs in black magic. But I don't think that it would be appropriate to continue without giving insight on who the Beustachians are exactly.

From the origins of their bloodline lies a curse inflicted onto the head of a family of nobles many many years ago, where it began. Ellias Beustachian, the great great great grandfather of who would become Lois Beustachian later on down the blood line and son of Alphine Beustachian and Lillica Beustachian. Ellias was a married man of fortune and questionnaire on of the meaning of life and death. A philosopher, a mage, and a scholar in alchemy, Ellias's curiosity led him into experimenting with the likes of his knowledge which furthered into an obsession, which lead to a distancing within his marriage to his wife, Beatrice.
He soon came to the belief that one would only be able to answer the questions of life and death if they experienced both. And he had questions. Many many questions. And so he sought out the art of Necromancy. It took him years upon years in order to learn as much as he needed in order to start his research using both Alchemy and Necromancy as key factors. At first he started simple, using animals and corpses as his subjects. But each time he was only met with results of major external bleeding, rapidly skin decaying abominations, some of the subjects even ended up exploding due to not being able to handle the stress of magic being forced into them. Failure. Failure, failure, FAILURE. That was his result each and every time. He received nothing more than gags and groans from them all, sometimes not even that. But just as he was on the brink of insanity, he came across the path of a dying Lich. One that tempted the anxious scholar with promises of answers he could not refuse.
It spoke to him in a ghastly wheeze, an ashen mist of cold escaping through the cracks of it's jagged teeth. "The strip... that separates the...breathing from the deceased...is not within the bounds of your comprehension....for you are merely mortal...but I....I can give you all that you desire....answers. Answers that lie....only within.... Immortality "
The Lich promised the man that he could supply all the answers. All he would need is a spell and the Lich's blood. Ellias followed through with the Lich's request, only to come to the realization that it sought to deceive him at the last minute, ending the ritual halfway. And so he left it to die. But the Lich's voice lived on within his head. When he returned home from his journey, he found that his wife child by another man. Already distraught by his failures after years of work, Ellias was finally driven to madness. He returned to where he had left the Lich to die and finished the ritual, later being possessed by the Lich after consuming it's blood.
The Lich returned to Ellias's wife in the form of Ellias, slaughtering her secret lover and taking her captive. It then twisted Beatrice's mind with it's magic and corrupted the child within her womb with it's blood. Years later when the offspring of the Lich and Beatrice was born, Ellias Beustachian the 2nd, the Lich devoured Beatrice and disappeared, only reappearing throughout the years to devour the wives of his corrupted bloodline. And so the Cursed Blood of the Beustachians were born, and the ritual continued. However, as it continued, it considerably began to weaken.

Which leads us back to the birth of the triplets many years later. Lois's father continued the Lich's legacy, being driven mad all the same. Except that he later met death.
The triplets were the latest of the bloodline, but only those who were compatible with the Lich's essence would be deemed worthy enough to live. The three infants were injected with the Lich's essence, the ritual itself being overseen by the loyalist to the Lich's dark essence Cedric Hoffliaer while Ellias himself had left to supposedly meet the Lich. One by one, the ritual was performed on the infants. Two of them died in the process and deemed as sacrifices. The third, however, had a different outcome. Just as the ritual seemed to be heading towards success, the mother of the triplets, Elizabeth Beustachian, played a significant role in disrupting the ritual after she found out the true intentions of both Cedric and Ellias, deeming the ritual a failure. She managed to barely escape and ended up leaving the child in the care of a cathedral in a different kingdom, staying long enough to give the child a name. However she fell I'll due to her condition and passed not long afterwards. And there, Lois Beustachian grew.

Living under the watchful eye of the grand cathedral's head, Sister Abigail, who taught and raised her as her own, Lois grew up as decent as one could. She how to speak properly, be polite to others when they're polite to you, how to clean and cook, and to some degree even defend herself. And though she was rather satisfied with this, Lois never felt right around the Cathedral or holy objects. In fact, she was often kept away from things of the sort. And when she was 10 she found out why.

For as long as she could remember, she would always hear a strange, eery voice speak to her in her head, luring but faint. Around the age of 10 was when this starting, and one day she was kidnapped by two individuals that seemed to be more familiar with her than she with them. What came after is what she is only able to explain now as hell. The individuals tortured her ruthlessly by order of the Lich while constantly attempting to draw out what laid in dormant within the child. Week after week, she suffered through this, being forced to eat, forced to speak. Forced to endure for six long years. Until finally, it happened. Lou's snapped, her mental state severing into two and allow her second conscious to enter existence. Unable to control the sudden rush of black magic surging through her veins, her mind collapsed into a deep darkness. When she woke up, she found a massacre around her place of torment, and the wounds inflicted onto her body now healed, yet she could still feel the agony of all of them.
Disoriented and in agony, Lois escaped captivity to the best of her abilities, mind disoriented and on the brink of madness.
Arriving back at the gates of the cathedral took weeks, for she would fall unconscious from a sickening nausea and a unbearable headache. She arrived at the gates in a torn white gown, covered in dried blood, some of it oddly being fresher, and hints of vomit.
When she did, she was instantly ​brought to the attention of Sister Abigail. Beyond released to see such a face brought Lois to tears, but as soon as she stepped on the holy grounds, she was met with agony. Agony that triggered the wickedness within her veins once more, causing her to black again, and that wickedness to possess her body.
Within this frame of time, the darkness within her revealed itself as Eht Hcil. It lashed out at the Sister, and fought until it was able to be subdued, for it hadn't been strong enough due to the already fragile state of Lois's body.
By the time knights arrived to the seen, Lois had returned to normal and was unconscious, and had to be taken away from the cathedral. In turn, the knights had already been sent on Lois's trail prior to the discovery of the two men that had been torn apart. Not only that, but it was stated that she had already attacked and killed other knights. This lead to conflict, and a heated confrontation between the knights, who wanted to kill Lois for what she was and had done without knowing the truth, and Sister Abigail, who sought to protect the child despite what had happened.
Sister Abigail fought to explain who the girl was exactly, as well as the fact that she was the one who they had been looking for for the passed six years.
The knights, hearing none of this, threatened to kill the woman. However, it all came down to going to see what the king would have to say about it in the end.
But before this could happen, Eht Hcil was able to possess Lois's body once more. A battle broke out between she and the knights, Lois managing to fatally wound one of them before escaping.

Ever since then, Lois has been on the run, constantly being hunted and relocating herself while having to deal with keeping Eht Hcil at bay. As she matured and her body became more capable, Eht Hcil's been voice became clearer within her mind, sometimes seeming as if she's right at her side. It has gotten to the point that she would often see her on reflective surfaces, in mirrors. The decaying version of herself, slowly becoming stronger. Somewhere along the line, Lois became depressed, and Eht Hcil started referring to herself as έδαφος (Édafos). She has learned that Eht won't allow her to kill herself, and she's learned that the hard way. So now she wonders, searching for answers as well as a way to kill herself. She's gotten to be able to be more successful at keeping Eht Hcil at bay in dire situations and multitask to keep her mind occupied. She's​ even become fearful of sleeping due to all too vivid nightmares, and therefore remains awake for multiple days, though she's gotten use to doing so and finds that she doesn't necessarily need to sleep. But in times when she finds it absolutely necessary, she finds herself falling into reoccurring nightmares. She has gotten use to staying away from people, fearing that she might harm them.
