Eugenie Messier

Eugenie Messier (b. 3 March 1898) is a permanent resident within the Sunken Temple. Although she is not part of the Federal Bureau of Magical Affairs, she often assists the FBMA in its expeditions into the Deep Sector.

History
Eugenie Messier was born to the rather unimpressive Messier magical family as the fourth child and first daughter of Michael and Mirra Messier. Her family was not part of the Guild and was not known for strong or unique magical talents. There is little record of her childhood and early adulthood beyond a simple police report of her disappearance in 1922.

How she arrived in the Sunken Temple is unknown. The FBMA believes that her arrival must be shortly before her disappearance in 1922, but the circumstances around her disappearance are vague.

The first note of her presence within the Sunken Temple is dated to just after the arrival of the FBMA in 1962. A team of agents investigating the second sublevel of the Sunken Temple encountered her. She seemed confused at their presence, but she did not take any hostile action against them. Messier refused to engage in conversation with the agents beyond warning against continuing downwards into the Deep Sector.

Appearance
Messier is rarely seen by agents of the FBMA, since she spends most of her time in the Deep Sector. There have been photographs taken of her, though, enabling a concrete description.

Messier is a young woman approximately in her mid- to late 20s. She has light colored hair and pale skin. She lacks any discernable tattoos or marks. She stands slightly less than average height for a woman.

Her clothes can often be described as utilitarian, providing protection from the disparate climates of the various levels of the Sunken Temple. Her backpack is similar to ones used by hikers and carries much of her tools and supplies.

Characteristics
Messier has lived in the Sunken Temple for at least the past 57 years, though she has probably resided in the Sunken Temple for nearly 100 years.

As a resident of the Sunken Temple, Messier is immune to the effects of the high ether levels of the Deep Sector. She also features an increased resistance to the effects of magic as well, though powerful spells are able to affect her. Although she prefers to use generalized focuses, she seems to be able to use ether in addition to her own mana to fuel her magic.

Her body has adapted to the conditions in the Deep Sector and features higher capabilities than a regular human. She recovers more quickly than others, and her endurance is high above that of other humans. Messier displays an ability to go relatively long periods of time with food, water, or sleep, though she does require some amount of rest and nutrition for survival.
