[ samantha logan | female | she/her | twenty-five ] ââ itâs just another typical week in hawkins i guess â isnât that right, eden bingham? huh, guess they canât hear me over shout at the devil by motley crue playing on their walkman, but it looks like theyâre headed to work as a radio host. did you know eden has been in hawkins for 9 months? yeah, theyâve been described as a bit moody, but i suppose them also being a maverick outweighs the negative. iâve also heard people say they remind them of smoke moving through the sun rays on lazy days, hard rock records laid about on the floor, sneaking out to a party on a friday night⌠however, that could just be this weeks newest rumor.

                       bio //
Eden was adopted at the age of five by the Binghams. They were family friends and when her parents passed from a car accident, they took her in and made the adoption legal on her fifth birthday.
She never felt like she wasnât part of the family and as the oldest, it was her job to take care of the younger ones and make sure they werenât getting in the way of their dad working in his office and that they wouldnât be burning the house down; which some days, was almost the case.
She started questioning her faith around the age of fourteen. There were things she was being told she didnât understand and was even hearing differently at school from her peers. Whenever she would ask questions, she would be shot down and told to not question things, which drove her crazy. While she still went to church, she hated every moment of it. She also felt that if there was a god, why would he take her parents away.
She started rebelling more when she was sixteen. She started sneaking out, going to parties, and smoking weed as well as drinking with her friends. She discovered rock music and started playing those and dressing more like Joan Jett than the church going daughter her father wanted her to be.Â
At eighteen, Eden went out and got her first tattoo, the crescent moon behind her ear. She hid them from her father, but during the summer, it was hard and he spotted them. There was a lot of yelling that day and eventually, Eden moved out with a friend. She would still come over to help with her siblings, but on days she didnât need to be, she wasnât at her childhood home anymore.
While wanting to be an artist, her father wouldnât pay for schooling for that, thinking she should go into something more practical. So, she did it on the side while she did odd jobs here and there. She has worked the front desk of a hotel until she got too many tattoos that they fired her, a waitress, a bartender, and a clerk at a grocery store while continuing to be there for her younger siblings as much as she could be while her father worked as she loved them and felt like she owed it to the Binghams.
This is how it was for years until after the boys that were friends with Suzieâs boyfriend showed up. She didnât see why they had come all that way for whatever it was they were there for and then not long after, she heard from her mother that Suzie up and left to Indiana. Unsure about all this, Eden packed a bag and went out there as well to get her sister back.
However, things didnât go as planned. Suzie wasnât going to leave and she wasnât just going to let her sister be there on her own. With her younger siblings fine at home, she ended up getting a place in Hawkins and staying in town herself; getting a job as a radio host.
