Ea

"The only way for a woman to get a man to trust you is by fucking them...if they are not interested, you will have a hard time developing loyalty. Seducing helps a lot, as I try to do it as much as I can, especially over a bottle of cold mead."

- Ea describing her tactics.

Ea is the main character of the Ravenhorn series. She was the deuteragonist up until Sodoku’s death, and then became both the leading and leading female character.

Ea is a female tiefling who believes in the free-folk. She has both a dark side and a good side, but hides her true love and affection for anyone.

Background
It is very unclear what Ea was doing before the journey, but she grew up with both her parents and lived the life of middle-class.

Ea grew up with her mother and father in a religious household for many years. In secret, her mother ran the secret Cult of Myor (the god of lust). Her father was a man of music, specializing in the lute.

When Ea was in her teen years, she ventured into dangerous dungeons and caves, showing she can do whatever comes her way. Also around this time, Ea learned how to fly, using her wings. Venturing into the dungeons helped earn money for her family.

When she turned 20, Ea left home and started to travel the world in search for new places and things, and to hopefully learn new things, which is how she traveled to Ravenhorn.

Chapter 1: Southsea
In the early part of the story, Ea traveled to Ravenhorn by boat in search for new things. This is where she met Sodoku Jojo, Showqu, Jaeden Autumsnow, and Popper.

When departing from the boat, she and Sodoku ask the sailor if there are any nearby places they can stay. He points to the direction of the Southsea Inn, stating this is the closest safe place anyone can stay at.

When they arrive at the inn, Ea, before going up to her room, pays for a bottle of cold mead and chats with the Southsea Innkeeper in a flirting matter. She explains briefly how much she misses her home and mother. The innkeeper catches this and suggest she gets some rest. Ea accepts and heads off to bed.

When the four decide to group up and travel together to the next village, Ea notices how sneaky Sodoku is (after catching him stealing wine), and sees him as useful for the future. This is the start of their bond.

When they travel into the woods, Sodoku notices something shiny in the grass under a tree. Being furious, he does not pick it up, and after Jaeden’s attempt, Ea tries to. She succeeds and carries the ring for future reference.

As they continue, the group comes across a group of goblins, and Ea goes to seduce the leader. Unknowingly, she is knocked on conscious and is out for the rest of the battle.

When the group decides to head back to the inn, the innkeeper declines to help Ea and her injuries, so Sodoku sneaks and steals a mead kit which adds on to their friendship.

When Jaeden confronts the innkeeper for changing the prices, Ea pretends to put a curse on him, and he warns her not to do it again or he will kick her out. Jaeden notices Ea’s helping him and this adds onto his friendship and love for her.

Chapter 2: A Thief and Pride
When the group starts to rest out in the woods, Ea goes on her own to collect firewood. She later comes across and dark and tattered cave. Instead of exploring, she marks it on her map and keeps it a secret from the rest. This leads to Showqu confronting her in the next day as she clearly shows she is hiding something as he recalls Ea’s reaction from coming out of the woods the night before. This adds on to Showqu’s hate to Ea, and can see she‘s a liar.

When the group arrives at Raspbear City, two guards show up and explain tieflings (referring to Ea) are not allowed in the city, as she is knocked on concious from her fight with Showqu and being carried by Sodoku. Jaeden explains she is friendly and is apart of their group, so the guards leave her be. As Jaeden defended and saved her in this moment, he never told Ea after she recovered.

Chapter 3: The Elephant with a Soul
After the encounter with the wizard and his magical cherries, Ea and Sodoku conspire to kill Popper, as Jaeden might have been the cause for the thief showing up at Raspbear City after the counter at the Southsea Inn. They decide to call him over and start to attack Popper. Jaeden hesitates and they also start to attack him as well. The wizard and Showqu notice this, and the wizard decides to cast a shield over Jaeden. After the Ea yields, Jaeden screams at her and Sodoku. Because of this incident, Jaeden has lost all his love feelings for Ea.

When morning comes around, Ea notices Showqu helping an injured goblin (Jerry). To help him, she walks over and heals him quickly. The goblin is worried, and looks up at her and notices she is friendly. Because of her and Showqu’s actions, the goblin joins the group.

When the group comes across The Red Waterfall, Ea is curious, and, without thinking, she places her hand in and it starts to eat at her skin and burn it. This marks Ea as being not so careful with her decisions.

Chapter 4: Cult
Coming across The Red Waterfall, Ea comes up with the idea to levitate down there with an enchanted cloak, as Sodoku points out a door down below. Ea, Showqu, and Sodoku decide to head down under her cloak.

When the group arrives at Firewood Village, Ea and Showqu notice Jaeden going off on his own, and don’t say anything. In addition, Ea spots a dungeon and the three go scouting within.

Sodoku Jojo
Probably her closest friend and ally, Sodoku and Ea support each other throughout the journey and rely on each other for almost anything. They are a perfect duo and never let each other down and won’t do something unless the other agrees.

In Southsea, Ea meets Sodoku on the ship to Ravenhorn, and they may have not been instant friends, but they felt a close bond. When Ea injured herself during the goblin attack, Sodoku stole for her to help her recover and, since then, has always been in his debt.

In The Elephant with a Soul, Ea and Sodoku explain the means of Jaeden Autumsnow and conspire to kill Popper out of hate and right. As this was not justifiable (and they failed at their attempt), Ea and Sodoku still stick by each other’s sides and do anything they think is right.

Showqu
Ea has always had mixed feelings for Showqu, as he can not determine where his true loyalties lie.

Ea thinks of Showqu more as a friend rather than an enemy, but has trouble figuring him out, whether it’s his personality or his trust.

Popper
As Ea does not hate Popper, she has tried to kill him (Elephant with a Soul) with Sodoku as some form of revenge. This action may have not been justifiable, but Popper, even after Ea promised Jaeden she wouldn’t hurt him, has hated her since and will not go around her at all, as she scares him.

The Thief
As they have not interacted too much yet, Ea sees him as a skillful rogue who will do anything to kill Sodoku Jojo. Because of this, she despises him and does not trust him at all.
