"Tell me something... when you make a terrible decision... why is it always somehow my fault?"

★ Meet Roo—better known by the title The Root of All Evil, a name she utterly despises. One of the oldest beings in all of existence, Roo is a primordial entity who has walked beside creation since life first took root upon the Earth. Feared by Heaven, respected by Hell, and misunderstood by nearly everyone in between, she has spent countless millennia carrying the blame for every act of cruelty, greed, betrayal, and violence committed by others. Yet the truth is far more complicated. Roo is not the creator of evil—she is merely its living embodiment, the possibility that exists within every soul. She cannot force anyone to choose darkness; she only proves that the choice exists. Eternity has left her with a razor-sharp wit, a painfully sarcastic tongue, an immature streak that belies her unimaginable age, and a quiet loneliness born from being judged by a title rather than the person behind it. ★

† Contrary to almost every myth ever told, Roo is not objectively evil. She possesses a surprisingly strong moral code, refuses to excuse her own mistakes, and absolutely despises people who blame their sins on her instead of accepting responsibility for themselves. She can freely walk the halls of both Heaven and Hell, though she loathes Purgatory, believing endless stagnation to be crueler than either judgment or damnation. Though unknowingly one of the most powerful beings in creation, Roo rarely flaunts her strength, preferring sarcasm, conversation, and exasperated eye-rolls over displays of overwhelming power. Beneath the smirk and endless teasing lies a girl burdened by impossible expectations, quietly wondering if she is anything more than the title the universe has forced upon her. †
