Eileen Howells

"I... thank you sir. I can't wait, this is an honour! Oh no, I wasn't prepared for that, how nerve-racking." -Eileen Howells after being chosen by Dr. Newman to step into the portal to Aqua-Irava.

Eileen Howells is a character who appears in the HydroVerse series of comics, she was a scientist working with portal-based technology within the Sigma Research Facility which was also part of the Sigma Research Division.

Growing up in Downpour City, Eileen always had an interest in science due to her uncle being an accomplished scientist at Sigma Research, so Eileen followed in his footsteps and so on.

This all ended after Eileen's body became possessed by the Aqua-Iravian demigoddess known as Hydro-Girl after the scientist entered her world in the name of research.

Appearance
Eileen Howells appears as a Caucasian female with brown eyes and blondish hair, she possesses a healthy figure and mostly has her hair tied up into a ponytail.

Eileen also wears black thick-framed glasses, but she discards them after Hydro-Girl's possession of her body enhanced her once blurred vision.

Early Life
Growing up in Downpour City, Eileen Howells was born to a factory worker father and a psychologist mother. These combinations resulted in Eileen often being ignored by her parents as they were far too busy to pay her any attention, her uncle would be the one to watch over her.

Eileen Howells developed an interest in science as she had spent a lot of time with her uncle who was working at the world-renowned Sigma Research Facility, especially when Eileen was brought to the facility and became amazed and the numerous wonders that the facility housed.

Eileen made it her mission to study hard within Downpour University, and eventually became highly skilled in the science field which eventually gained her access into Sigma Research. Along with gaining a bright future, Eileen managed to purchase an apartment complex within Downpour City.

Into Another World
For three years, Eileen Howells had worked in the portal sector of the Sigma Research Division under the supervision of the brash Dr. Newman. Eileen made friends with another scientist nicknamed Slick, who often pointed out Dr. Newman's frequent unfairness towards other workers.

One morning Eileen was running late to Sigma Research and once she enters into her sector, Eileen realises that a portal has successfully been opened to what they believe is another world. Due to being late, Dr. Newman nominates Eileen Howells and she is joined by Slick. After jumping into protection suits, Eileen and Slick walk into the portal and end up in a cave covered with glowing crystals

At first the two scientists suspect that the cave is just another location on Earth, but a nearby lake suddenly comes alive and blows Eileen and Slick back with tremendous force. The resulting impact knocks both scientists out cold and also causes Eileen to die from blunt force trauma to her skull.

Changes
In the medical bay of Sigma Research, Eileen's vital signs appeared to be gone which garnered a very relaxed reaction from Dr. Newman. He was shocked when Eileen's vital signs started up again, she was later escorted to her apartment complex to rest. Later that evening, Eileen wakes up in a daze and manages to stumble to the bathroom to splash her face with water.

Eileen suddenly notices that her skin is changing to a blue tone, causing her to freak out as her entire body begins growing uncontrollably as her skin tone became more and more blue. Stumbling out of the bathroom, Eileen's transformation quickly finished as a different entity stood where Eileen once stood and proceeded to exit the complex.

Later on, Eileen wakes up naked in her apartment complex with no recollection of what happened the other night. She then turns on the TV after hearing from her friend Layla about strange noises and sightings in town. Eileen changes to the news channel and watches as the reporter speaks about an unknown blue woman who was spotted naked by an unknown child.

At first Eileen berates the nude woman before quickly remembering what happened the other night with her skin, bringing her to the horrifying conclusion that she was the blue woman. Feeling incredibly guilty for possibly traumatising the young boy who took the photo, Eileen heads out into the night to find him and ends up doing so at an abandoned warehouse.

Eileen and the boy, named Kevin, speak to each other. Kevin reveals that he had followed his sister in running away from home, and that his sister died from starvation afterwards. Feeling completely sympathetic for Kevin, Eileen decides to hug him as well as stay with him. The two are then confronted by members of the Downpour Crime Syndicate who believe that Kevin had stole a water bottle from them.
