rules brief.  please do not use heavy additional spacing between words / characters or gradient-coloured text when writing with me. in general, heavy formatting is hard for me to read. blog will contain nsft and is therefore exclusively 18+. all triggers are tagged with #trigger /. minors will be blocked. mutuals only, all mutuals are welcome / invited to im me or ask for discord. if i don’t like you / the things you post, i will soft/hard block as i see fit.

character info.  edith (eddie) joan kye, born oct 17th 1970 in gering, nebraska. she/her, femme lesbian. 24-46 years old (verse dependent). only daughter of melissa kye, father unknown. medium height, slight but soft build, long medium-to-dark brown hair, pale blue eyes. grew up on her grandparents farm from the age of five, mother frequently absent. left high school at 17 and later left gering a few months after turning 18. currently travels and works seasonal jobs in food service or retail / general light labor. usually stays with coworkers or in short-term housing, sometimes lives out of her old volvo. always dreamed of being a singer—plays some guitar that her grandmother taught her and occasionally plays open mics or songwriter nights but lacks any outstanding musical talent.

aesthetic / storybuilding sideblog is at @nebraksa

notable features.  wears her hair long to mid-back, keeps her nails painted or with short acrylics when she can afford to keep them up (which isn’t often). nervous and bright, somewhat frenetic energy. generally perceived as shy but quick to laugh/smile. eager to please, warm despite a faint apparent brittleness. likes to dress up when she’s feeling brave—dark berry lipsticks, slip dresses and breezy short skirts, cowboy boots and chunky heels. tends towards casual but heavily feminine/stylized dress—stylish second hand but rarely very trendy.

eddie has worked multiple jobs where she had no fucking idea what she was doing OR business doing it—pharmacist’s assistant, pet groomer, various assistant roles in hair salons, bartender, several factory jobs, salesperson at an appliance store, real estate trainee, etc etc—she’s never been licensed for anything and even if she says ‘sure i’ll get licensed’ when she takes a job she never actually works at one place for more than a few months, it’s long enough to pick up skills / get a feel for it and her experience is so broad that nothing really intimidates her and she gets almost all of her jobs either by heresay from old jobs (so and so’s aunt in sarasota is looking for an insert worker here) or walking in off the street when she sees a help wanted sign in the window so there’s no real application process she just smiles and says ‘sure i can do that’ and then she does

no one is going to save the day.

      not with that attitude they won't,  is what eddie thinks. doesn't say it, though—she's too busy trying to come to a decision. there's a lot of ways to walk into a situation. there's just as many ways to walk out of one. all she feels is a helpless rush of disappointment in tess over those words and the same-old stupid streetwise bitterness behind them. eddie doesn't like that. she's never liked that, even before she knew anything about the way the world worked. likes it even less now that she does.

      that disappointment shows on her face, mouth twisting down into a frown. eddie isn't very good at schooling her face. at cards, she'd lose every time—but eddie doesn't play cards and she doesn't care if tess can see that she's made her unhappy.

      "you don't have to be smart about it,"  is all eddie says, that frown so deep that it's in her eyes now. mouth pressed, brows knit. jaw set. she pops her bottle down onto the table and it's loud enough that a few people turn around to stare as she's standing up. eddie knows who she is, what she is. she knows nobody is likely to be scared of her or to stop what they're doing just because she shows up—to most people she's just a secondhand sundress and a set of pale blue painted fingernails. a waitress or somebody's date. but there's a lot of ways to walk into a situation and eddie's pretty good at finding one that'll work.

      eddie almost tells tess to wait in the car, then, if that's how she's going to be—but she usually has to store her bite up, saving it for the right moment. right now, tess isn't the one who needs it most.

      she's only a few steps away when she hears the legs of tess' chair dragging on the ground as she gets up, too, and the sound raises goosebumps on her arms. eddie's good enough in a bind to keep from smiling but it's a near miss.
