information
eden was born and spent the first ten years of her life in linz, austria. her father is an architect while her mother is a former housewife turned real estate agent.
the von holten last name was a distinguished surname back in the day as they were part of the austrian nobility. however, eden never really enjoyed the lavish life of being part of royalty as her part of her family is known as the descendants of ‘bastards’.
this meant that while her family could carry the von holten surname they didn’t have access to the family’s wealth, except for a trust fund to cover college expenses.
despite this, eden had a rather comfortable life as her father was a young promising architect that through his hard work managed to provide a good life to his family.
when eden was ten years old, her parents divorced and her father decided to leave austria to work in the england.
her father eventually remarried and eden would spend her time between england and austria.
many would think that eden had it easy, no event in her early life was enough to cause what would happen in the following years.
at sixteen, eden made the decision of finishing her schooling in new york, against her parents’ wishes, but being the supportive pair they were, they had no choice but let their daughter move to the big city.
tw eating disorder
something changed in those first weeks in new york, maybe it was being surrounded by the royalty of the city or the constant bombarding of slim models that prompted a switch in her.
at first it was not obvious, she reduced calories and signed up to the gym but as the months went by her obsession with calories and exercise only increased in an alarming way.
the teachers at school were the first to notice. and when they told her mother, she became very angry as she didn’t want to accept the fact that she had a serious illness and needed help.
the summer before starting at columbia, her parents took her to the doctor where she was given an ultimatum, either she gained weight during the summer or would be sent to an eating disorder clinic but that didn’t change anything and eventually was sent to the clinic, causing her to lose her first semester.
eden pushed herself to fight her anorexia, not wanting to be hospitalized and manage to be discharged before the start of the semester. despite her parents’ reluctance to let their child alone again, she started studying astrophysics at columbia.
for the next three years have been difficult for her, many times she has relapsed but on her own, she has managed to pull through but the increasing anxiety only gets worse, especially in finals time.
end of tw
at one point the stress got so high that her parents just made her drop out and go back to vienna. she did and spent a year working at her mother’s company before she made the decision to give university another chance.
she took the decision to attend seas because her step sister was here and this is her first semester
she’s doing a lot better now and she sees this as her chance to prove herself that she is healthy now.
headcanons
from a young age, eden has felt a fascination for stars and space. she never thought of studying anything related with that until she was interned in the clinic and spent most of her time reading books about the subject
speaks fluent german and she still has a slight austrian accent as she speaks in that language with her family
loves Pomeranians, and if you see her Instagram is filled with pomeranians blogs
she’s been to fourteen Elton John’s concerts, the last one a few days before her birthday. safe to say she is a fan
fan of any hgtv show
she has 'bought’ stars for herself since no one does it for her lmao
betelguese is her favorite star
actually believes in horoscope
favorite song: freaking tiny dancer ofc
has watched the theory of everything too many times
used to firmly believed she was anastasia as a child, now she is happy watching the movie or musical
connections
former best friend of cassidy silva
step-sister of student mack gallagher
childhood friend with minjun "micah" jin
wanted connections
best friend; if you are her best friend she’ll name a star on your behalf and also look what it could be: x or x
enemies: i mean she’s not one to create them but she cannot be liked by everyone and i need someone to get out her sassy side bc it’s probably rusty from being nice
roommates: self-explanatory
first love; maybe it happened during her first year, you know i’m a hoe for angst so we can make it angsty af
friends with benefits; but really they would be very good friends that ended up sleeping together because she would need that sort of emotional connection to do it
awkward date; they went on a date that was so awkward that now they avoid each other
unrequited love; she could either have a crush on your character or viceversa, but lemme tell you that my girl can be shy so she probably just suffer and admire your character’s perfection from afar
tutor or study buddies; someone that helps her in some of her classes or the other way around
