I redesigned shaula . The worst Gorgon sister EVERR anyways my words about the process on this is under here if you care about that
HOLY SHIT I HATE HER ORIGINAL DESIGN SO MUCH . I hate soul eater not too she's the worst. I want to fix her entire personality but that requires watching it again and I'm not doing that yet. Anyways, Shaula, the youngest Gorgon. I wanted her to look more like Arachne to make Medusa stand out more as a middle sibling. Shaula's hair better represents the scorpion stinger, I also made her outfit match the other two in their black and dark design while still making it her own and not a fucking school girl uniform with ugly cuffs. Shaula's boots are supposed to look like the skin of a scorpion, as well as her earrings being stingers. Her disguised outfit was also upgraded. Girl thought putting on a hat would hide her.... Not with that bright hair sweetie. Anyways that's all I think I have to say for now. Soon I will fix her whole....thing she has character wise.

Sometimes I think about whether Shaula and Medusa met in Death City at some point and Shaula didn't recognize Medusa and Medusa was like, "And that's why I'm not sending you cards on your birthday."

I know this is not a request but, as a soul eater fan i wanna ask, have you ever been curious to know what the witches' backstories are? like eruka, kim, medusa, arachne shaula, etc. what are your thoughts? I'm just curious. you don't have to answer.
Oh 100%! Like, we do get a teeny tiny bit of background on Kim if you look at both the manga and at Soul Eater Not, but like, it's such a tiny amount I wish we would have been able to get more!
And I definitely would love to get a deeper background on Eruka! She's one of my favorites of the witches (I just really like frogs!)
It also would make a lot of sense to get more background on any or all of the Gorgon witches. Like, they end up being the big baddies but we only get tiny glimpses of their history. They have so much that could be explored!
Thanks for the question, Anon!

Gorgon Sisters Headcanons (if they ever get along as sisters)
when shaula created her first jewelry/s as a child, she gave them to her sisters as gifts. It was then she realized she enjoyed making jewelry.
I'm pretty sure the gorgon sisters had a really difficult time trying to master their magic. Like medusa had broke multiple bones and nearly died many many times, Arachne received alot of psychological damage and shaula accidentally killed many people with her mind control magic and nearly her sisters.
They love to roast or insult each other for fun. I can imagine it goes something like this. Arachne: MEDUSA! YOU DAUGHTER OF A SLUT!! Medusa: Let's not forget that we both came from the same mother, arachne. Shaula: *LAUGHS* Medusa: Shut up, Shaula! You're our sister too!
It's not uncommon for witches to die due to the fact that they cannot control their magic. The sisters were scared of learning magic in such as a young age but they did it anyways because they were forced to do so. Keep in mind, their magic is powerful as well as dangerous.
even though they barely know how to control their magic, they did the best they could to help each other. They even supervise each other to make sure no one gets hurt. sadly it fails miserably but they really tried. Arachne would try to stop medusa from flying all over the place and hurting herself and catch her sister with her webs. Sometimes she caught her, Other times she don't because it was too fast. Shaula tried to help catch her sister too but fails. She did help in patching her up. remember when i said that Arachne received alot of psychological damage from her magic? well Shaula and medusa would try to help their older sister snap out of it. There are times when Arachne got stuck or tangled in her webs. Her sisters helped her ofc but not without making fun of her. As for shaula, there are times when she accidentally got her sisters in her mind control. There was one time where she nearly unalived them. Shaula felt horrible but that didn't stop her older sisters from helping her as much as possible. It doesn't matter how many times they got hurt or nearly died due to her mind control, her older sisters WILL help her. No matter how many times their magic hurts each other or themselves, they will always apologize, cheer up and patch each other in the end.
Growing up, Arachne and Shaula would accidentally step on medusa's tail. Sometimes they would step on it on purpose either for fun, to wake their sister up, playful revenge, etc.
To medusa, having her tail being stepped on hurts as being kicked in the balls. That's why her sisters loves to step on it for fun. Medusa would be screaming at the top of her lungs whenever that happens.
Aside from using it as a weapon, Medusa's tail can actually show whatever she is feeling. like it wags when she's genuinely happy. Her sisters teased her about it. Using her tail as a weapon could mean that she can control her tail. Meaning she can hide her emotions. If you were one of her closest friend or sister, she would let her guard down and let her tail show her emotions for her.
For some reason, i have this cute headcanon that they use to call each other nicknames. Arachne - rane or arane Medusa - medy or medi Shaula - shauwi or shauy (idk how to spell)
Medusa was the first to learn hand to hand combat and taught her sisters about it.
If they would get along as sisters, not involved with dwma and not obsessed with madness, they would live "normal" or normal lives. As in they got sick of being discriminated alot. they would go out from time to time ofc.
I feel like their love language for each other is quality time. They'd be in separate areas and the next thing you know they are all hanging out in one room. Arachne would be doing her work, medusa would be reading a book or sleeping, and shaula would be working on her next jewelry. Sometimes they have deep conversations or small talks. There will be cursed conversations at times.
Sometimes they would all sleep in one bed and have a girls night. just like when they were kids.
Sometimes Shaula and arachne calls medusa "hair necklace" for fun.
they rarely fight. But when they do, its for petty reasons or no reason at all.
i feel like all three of them loves to be at home rather than going outside. Among the three of them, shaula goes outside more often. Medusa does it occasionally while arachne rarely goes outside. She only does it when necessary.
They rarely say "i love you" to each other. But when they do, it's because they are not confident that they can't live much longer. They used to say "i love you" to each other so often when they were kids.
they trust each other with their entire being and souls. Ofc. like if ever one of them got turn into a hostage, they'd just be chilling like they're at home. They know that one holding them hostage will die a gruesome death.
Shaula is a very expressive woman while her sisters are a bit reserved. She also loves to ramble about her interests and sometimes any random topic. (I'm sorry for grammatical errors)

Do you think Shaula was so disappointing that adding her as a "Gorgon Sister" puts a stain on the legacy of Medusa and Arachne? Like a restaurant that serves Lobster, Caviar and then like offbrand poptarts that are already stale
I don’t think Shaula puts a stain on the legacy of the other Gorgon sisters, for a few reasons. 
First, Shaula isn’t a bad character, just poorly and under utilized. It helps to see other artists do great work figuring out what to do with Shaula. For example, I really like this art from jume-pl, showing how much we were denied to see Medusa and Shaula interacting with each other in Death City, how that would affect each of their schemes against Lord Death. It’s a missed opportunity that the two never interacted in canon. 
Second, Shaula isn’t so bad that she somehow ruins what we get with Medusa and Arachne. (This isn’t like my ranting about how Fire Force diminishes Soul Eater.) 
Finally, Shaula is part of the NOT spinoff, which in itself is not strictly necessary to read to understand the story or themes or messages of the original manga. NOT is its own largely self-contained story, nothing Shaula or anyone else does in NOT strongly contradicts the story or themes or messages, so whatever Shaula does is at worst harmless. 
Now, as for comparing Shaula to off-brand Pop Tarts and Medusa and Arachne to fine cuisine: I think that’s a bit harsh--as I said, I have seen fan creators see the potential to Shaula and make her work well as a character. This isn’t about quality alone or taste alone--Shaula could have worked, and even if she was better written, that still wouldn’t suddenly make people like her if she still didn’t suit her tastes. You can have Pop Tarts be a secret ingredient for an episode of Iron Chef and have the contestants make the classiest meal possible--that still won’t change the fact that people may still dislike the meal just because they just don’t like Pop Tarts.

Death Vengeance ~ Origins of the Ink Demon Chapter 3 Pt.3
[Secret Altar - Hideaki Kobayashi]
Master Phanto : Today is the year 2003, this is a very big day for ahead of us, and I have one great task to go clean up that Shinra act of their's. So this is your first day of showing me your powers that I gifted to you and I'm aware to use it properly.
Moirai Albarn : Well, gladly we can do. I have so many questions to ask or for their, answer. My sister and I have been obtaining the souls from one of those heartlesses and we will do well on gathering magnificent energy. Sister?
Maka Albarn : So, much of you had bear the fact that I have the reason that there is a city in a foreign country on the planet.
Master Phanto : It's called the USA. It's probably home to that plumber who is the hero of the mushroom kingdom or eventually hero of Subcon or Muu, the place that we althought that me and people used to live in that world only connected by dreams. We heard that an enemy to witchkind is responsible for possesing people with the Poison Spear. There is one enemy that holds the Poison Enemy, and her name is Shaula Gorgon, one of witchkind's most renegades and that renegade is one pretty slick creature. But that's not the Shaula Gorgon they know, the one that the witches sent wasn't a member of the Majo Order. [a hologram of the Sand Scorpion from Sonic and the Secret Rings appears] This is the creature of the Poison Spear, Sand Scorpion. A monster that is usually some kind of scorpion with eyes and it could bring poisonous epidemic to the populace.
Moirai Albarn : We'll do! Even though, Witchkind was not really that smart enough to think that the witch Shaula they sent was really an imposter. But my suggestion that this girl wanted to defeat her so badly it's unbearable that it's only one doppelganger that is dumb enough to attack one country. I bet it's after making it's attempt to find Heartless Medusa and that Demon Spider Jorogumo as well in order to revive Shinra's grandson.
Master Phanto : Shinra's Grandson? Is that what they're after? Well you do have a point, that Shinra fella is always one heck of a hero. He always keeps his cool and has a hero complex for that matters. So I want you to do to find this Shaula Gorgon doppelganger and destroy it before it could spread chaos on the planet.
Moirai Albarn : Yes, father. We'll do.
Maka Albarn : We mustn't give up, we'll have what it takes for to have that challenge.
Phanto's Servant : Master, the transport to Earth is ready. I've just set up the coordinates to Nevada, USA.
Moirai Albarn : This is should be a piece of Cake!
Maka Albarn : Yeah!
Maka's Mother : Be careful when you are needed to get back.
Maka Albarn : Okay, mom.
Moirai Albarn : Let's get to it.
Master Phanto : Remember. We're a proud Phantonian race. The human race could not the bear fact that human-turning weapons made from the bones of Shotaro aren't that lucky to face the true evil itself. Our blood is capable of using magic as a weapon and it's advanced to our old civilization.
Moirai Albarn : We'll do and understood! Come on, sister! We got somewhere to be!
[the two leaves and the scene changes to Mai Thi Hoang at a bazaar in the real world version of Death City]
Mai Thi Hoang : Oh my, the place for this weird fictional city in a foreign country is really not satitisfying for a place to live in, not exactly what I'm capable for. (sighs) Dumb Shinra Kusakabe and his stupid legacy of his, always the bastard for being a hero of why did he chose this place for a home of the legacy. If the Men of his influence wouldn't suspect of handling the truth out of the public eye, then I would get the truth spread from the mother of Maka Albarn. I wish if there was a way that I could really spread truth to the people and would just live in the real world anyway.
Shaula Gorgon (?) : [in a creepy voice] PSST. Hey, buddy. Over here.
Mai Thi Hoang : Huh? Who said that?
Shaula Gorgon (?) : I got a surprise for you.
Mai Thi Hoang : Really? Say, you kinda look familiar than that the "Real" Shaula Gorgon who was hiding around the world, somewhere. Are you sure that I can really trust you?
Shaula Gorgon (?) : Sure you do. After all, I can't say "no" to a girl like you.
Mai Thi Hoang : Are you sure?
Shaula Gorgon : Does it look unsure that if I may lick you for a special treat.
Mai Thi Hoang : Oh, about that. Well I basically do and--Wait, did you say you are gonna lick me like a dog?
[JOJO SFX : Menacingly]
Shaula Gorgon (?) : [chuckles] And now you just become a traitor like the rest of them.
Moirai Albarn : Hold it right there, Heartless creep!
Maka Albarn : And where do you think you're going of licking that girl's face like a dog or something?
Shaula Gorgon (?) : What the-?! [turns and sees Moirai and Maka appearing behind them, wearing Phanto's mask] Huh? Who are you?
Moirai Albarn : We are the daughters of Phanto, and we are the sworn protectors of Earth!
Maka Albarn : And we come to destroy the evil that is the dark forces of Evil!
Moirai Albarn : We knew that a heartless Doppelganger like isn't getting away of destroying this planet!
Shaula Gorgon Doppelganger : Y-You! How did you know that I'm a heartless doppelganger of the "real" Shaula Gorgon?
Moirai Albarn : It's easy. We found out that your little licking maybe the poison spear and therefore, Heartless knows it's true form that is a living shell.
Maka Albarn : Yeah, a living shell.
Shaula Gorgon Doppelganger : DAAAAH! Now I know you two really are! You're the daughters of that mask enemy Phanto from weird alien race! He was Phanto, he was the guardian of the key! He is that badass who is a soul-eating monster!
[The Grudge - Jun Senoue]
Moirai Albarn : I've known your movements, your plan on resurrecting the Kusakabe's grandson was a plan to destroy the legacy that Shinra created! Now tell me, why would Witchkind ever sent a Heartless phony like you to attack this mysterious city built in a foreign country? or else I'll have my blood to destroy you and take your soul away for good. You won't be dealing of destroying the Kusakabe Legacy anymore, you heartless moron!
Shaula Gorgon Doppelganger : Okay! Okay! You got me! I was expelled from Shaula Gorgon's heart and we heartlesses wanted to destroy the whole planet! We're on a path to genocide and it's all that demon spider's fault! The one who stole Shotaro's creations the demon weapons that are actually made from his bones and of course, Alchemy! But all that Death and Destruction made us realize how brainless we are! Thought that Ansem might be at the highest stake to have the whereabouts of opening the door to Darkness, so it turns out that this was all a tricky trap orchestrated by him to lure the heroes out! But more importantly, the Arachne Gorgon I know that stole the bones of Shotaro or a witch, isn't her at all. It's Jorogumo, the demon spider who wanted to feast on Shinra's Grandson. That spider was so stupid that it's attraction to Demon Vibe's power is so incredible, no witch on the planet would able to resist!
Moirai Albarn : So what's it going to be? Facing the light, facing truth, or facing my powers of blood magic?
Shaula Gorgon Doppelganger : Okay, I'll tell you who wanted to destroy the devil's legacy! It was Demon V-
[DBZ SFX : Energy Blast]
Moirai & Maka : [in shocked]
[Shaula yells and reverts to it's true form, which turns out to be a Neo Shadow heartless]
Moirai Albarn : That energy of light. Was it Keyblade Magic?
Maka Albarn : Could be.
Mai Thi Hoang : That stray beam of light. So this strange witch that tried to possess me was a Heartless Imposter all along? I...didn't see that clearly.
Maka Albarn : Hey, sis. That weird "Thing" that the stray beam of light hit it's back, was this a "Heartless" that father talked us about?
Moirai Albarn : Yeah, it could be. But this one over here is just bigger heartless. It's called a "Neoshadow", an adult-sized form of a heartless that way big and super strong. These heartlesses that have the ability to change one's appearance and become it's doppelganger. Luckily, this witch Shaula Gorgon that everyone mentioned about and known, is actually a Heartless doppelganger disguising itself as a witch using with dark evil magic. Not only that it fool the humans easily that much, but everyone in the real world had no idea she was a heartless herself.
Maka Albarn : So, it's just a Heartless Doppelganger. Why in the world would anyone think that Heartless Doppelgangers would easily fool the human race that easily?
Moirai Albarn : Apparently, this isn't the work of Witchkind, it was probably someone else that has been pulling the plug. Nobodies made by Xemnas, or the Shadows their selves.
Mai Thi Hoang : I see...Technically, thing that has been poisoning every human being the tongue of a Poison Spear. I get it, there was something fishy with the witches on this planet. They were hiding something superstitious about the Kusakabe Legacy that has been connecting to Soul World for a long time. The world of Smash knows that half of the Ohkuboverse was destroyed by the powers of the Time Eater, and now there is hope to finding out the answer of why are these heartlesses attack Soul World and what is their demands of destroying a hero's legacy?
??? [voice heard] : It was I, who sent the Gorgon Sisters' doppelgangers to destroy the devil's legacy and had it plans that the Ohkuboverse will soon be gone into nothingness. It was a simple plan to bring the true forces of evil that is me and I will have my puppet to dispose of you and conjure this planet for myself, wether will be me or the Time Eater gets it.
Moirai Albarn : Ngh! Who is this?!
??? : This is the ruler of Shadow Realm, and I'm putting everything on tight schedule. Although I did say that the so-called "Madness" is all nothing but a wordplay. But to me, It should be the fate of others.
Moirai Albarn : Fate of others? What are you talking?
[images flashing]
Moirai Albarn : Aaah! [holds head in pain] *painting* Fate of others, just what are their demands of destroying the legacy, and what's this silly fantasy world of theirs have to do with ending it with darkness or the time eater will destroy it?

Living with your Yandere Gorgon Sisters (2)
Tumblr media
It’s my own personal headcannon that their childhood if you could call it that is a heartless hunt for power
The hierarchy topped by their mother is one of ultimate submission 
A constant cap on their power and watered-down respect in the witch’s order
Not to mention their mother, if bothered enough, will happily feast on her offspring
Not only as a quick meal but a way to boost her own magic
Needless to say, it's a constant battle for the three sisters against her
Which makes your birth a crucial moment 
Your mother is weakened nursing you but something is different
She can hold your swaddled form and not even have the desire to eat 
It makes your sisters all the more eager to target you
Its Arachne who strikes first distracting her long enough to stand over your bassinet
“You…are so precious."
Unfortunately, your mother returns before she can snatch you away
But that will do it for her
Next is Medusa and then Shaula  who have similar moments when greeted with your infant form 
Ultimately how they treat you when they have you are indicative of their first meetings with you:
Tumblr media
Arachne Gorgon
Falling in love with you during her first successful fight marks the beginning of a dangerous jealousy
One being fed by her long stalking of your mother and you in private 
Nursing, speaking, and over all caring for you makes her so jealous
Jealous of your mother’s love? Not in the slightest
its of your mother’s privilege to love you
She wants to be her so bad
But she urged her sisters off of you two for a little while
Only until you finished nursing
So now when she demands you cuddle up to her its her…payback of sorts
For all that time her mother got to hog you for herself 
now she does the hogging
She loves when she punishes you
Taking you away from your lake or pool to rest in her bosom
“This it the way it should be. You, relying on me.”
Tumblr media
Medusa Gorgon
Meets you on a less opportunistic situation
Taking advantage of a fight between Arachne and their mother
She comes with no intentions to spare you
Hand and undeveloped snake magic prepared to strike you
Cursing herself when she can’t bring her hand down
She eventually does bring a hand down only for the snake to wrap around your body as you giggle relentlessly
She holds you a little awkwardly relishing in the soft nuzzling into her undeveloped chest
She eventually puts you back nearly losing her eye at your mother’s vicious attack
If there had been a grave for her she would have held you close while spitting on the grave
But she doesn’t have one she doesn’t even have a body to bury
Medusa prefers the tank, watching you swim around listening to her
She believes she gives you freedom like none of the others
And you should be grateful
Grateful enough to forever stay by her side while she plunges the world into madness
“Good baby. You’re seeing it from my perspective now! A world full of madness! I can’t wait to set you free in it.”
Tumblr media
Shaula Gorgon
Was annoyed with the exclusion that Arachne and Medusa had begun to do in regards to fighting their mother over you
So she attempts to fight their mother on her own 
failing miserably she’s practically only saved by you
Sitting silently until what would be her final blow you somehow need something 
Not to be sated easily your mother retreats sneering at her all the while
Coincidence, that’s what she chalks it up to
But truly was it destiny?
So she tries again
this time bullied into not harming a hair on your head by her sisters
Piggy backing off of them attacking their mother to sneak her way to you
All according to plan
Its Shaula who eventually sneaks away with a sleeping you
Lulled to sleep in her hiding place she finds that she’s never slept more peacefully than with you by her side
She doesn’t even wake when your mother lets out the eardrum shattering death scream
She hated having to leave your side to aid her sisters when you so cutely coo as she leaves
Now when she keeps you, she has to tell you all about what she’s accomplished
She so badly wants to show you how cool she is
“See. See. Its all about control (Y/n) if you have that there can be no one to stop you.”

Soul Overture: Chapter 1
Read on Ao3.
Chapter 1 (You Are Here) | Chapter 2 | Chapter 3 | Chapter 4 | Chapter 5 | Chapter 6 | Chapter 7 | Chapter 8 | Chapter 9 | Chapter 10
Darkness loomed over Patchwork Laboratory, the yellowed moon laughing overhead at all the little people down below. The moonlight painted everything in soft tones, illuminating the form of a woman standing near a dead tree in the front lawn. She was small in stature with blonde hair and bright eyes that matched the brightness of the stars that dotted the night sky.
A massive being darted through the opening in the stone fence that surrounded the stitched building, meeting with the slender woman. The being’s fur was dark and its clothing darker. A dark colored scarf moved like a cape behind the creature—a wolfman.
The woman moved closer to the wolfman. “Conri, what has you so worried?” she asked in a soft tone. Her brow was furrowed in her worry. “Why meet with me in the middle of the night in Death City? You know the meister’s would hunt you—will hunt you—as soon as they find out.”
“Eula,” the being—Conri—started, his Irish accent thick. He held a worn scroll in his clawed hands, the paper weathered by time. He seemed concerned about something. “I came across a prophecy that concerns little Julian.”
Eula’s eyes narrowed, her posture becoming tense. Anything concerning her son was important to her. “Show it to me.”
The wolfman held the scroll out to the woman, placing it in her outstretched hands. She gingerly unrolled it, her gaze scanning the words scrawled across it.
In the shadows of night, where moonlight meets the dark,
An owl witch shall rise with an unwavering spark.
A great evil looms, casting its malevolent shroud,
But the owl with wisdom will make the darkness cower and bow.
Feathers as soft as velvet, eyes piercing and keen,
A guardian of secrets, a force rarely seen.
With incantations whispered in the language of the stars,
He'll summon his magic, removing evil's bars.
The night shall be his ally, the stars his guiding light,
As he soars on silent wings, ready to fight.
With talons sharp as daggers and a heart pure and bold,
The owl witch's tale of triumph shall forever be told.
For in the end, his courage and wisdom will prevail,
A timeless prophecy fulfilled, as darkness turns pale.
The great evil shall crumble, and the land will rejoice,
Thanks to the owl witch's power, the people's unwavering choice.
Eula’s hands began to shake, nearly dropping the scroll in the process. Her skin paled. “A great evil… No,” she whispered. “He was never supposed to meet her, Conri,” she said softly. Her voice was full of fear about something only the two knew.
“I wish I never found this, Eula,” he agreed, his expression grim. “The pup doesn’t need to face an evil like hers. Maybe you can find a way around it, though. The prophecy does speak of an owl, like you.”
She chuckled humorlessly, her own expression dark. “The last time I tried to divert a prophecy, I inadvertently awoke Shaula and three NOT students had to kill her. I don’t want him dealing with any of my family, but look at how things are turning out. I still haven’t let Franken know about any of them.”
His eyes softened, knowing the woman’s worries well. “Maybe it’s time to let him know,” Conri said. “You can’t hide it forever, Eula. Medusa is still out there and Arachne could wake up at any moment. Not to mention her.”
Eula was the one to sigh next, running a hand through her long hair. “I know, it’s just… I guess I’m afraid.” She let out a soft laugh. “I know he won’t judge me, but if Julian were to find out…”
“He deserves to know, Eula.”
She closed her eyes, her shoulders sagging in defeat. “I’m going to tell him. Tonight. About my sisters, about Athena, about the prophecy.”
“Would you like me with you while you do?” He sounded concerned for his friend.
Eula nodded. “He’s in his lab still.”
Knocking on the door to the lab, Eula opened it slowly. “Franken, we need to talk about something. Conri is here as well,” she said, keeping her voice soft. She didn’t want to wake Julian, the infant had a hard enough time falling asleep as it was. “It’s… about Julian.”
A head of silver hair looked up from their computer. Turning his chair, green eyes bore into Eula’s blue. “What’s wrong?” Stein asked. She could hear the concern in his voice, even though he tried to hide it. Even though he was new at being a father, she knew that he felt the same way about their son.
“It’s… There’s a lot about this, and we need to start at my mother.” Eula pulled out another chair, sitting down in front of him. “You’re not going to like any of this.”
Conri held the scroll once more and held it out for Stein to take. He was now in his human form, his soul protected by Eula’s magic. “This concerns the pup in general.”
“My mother, Franken, was not a nice woman. She was… She is a great old one, currently sealed in Mount Fuji. Her specific madness is destruction. Her name is Athena Gorgon.”
“The Gorgon sisters,” he said as he opened the scroll.
Eula nodded, she knew that he knew where this was going. “Athena created Arachne, Medusa, Shaula, and myself. I…” She sighed. “I never subscribed to her beliefs, her desire to create a world of chaos and destruction. My sisters did, in their own ways.” Threading her fingers together, she continued. “Lord Death and I sealed her in Mount Fuji. Arachne was reduced to spiders and sealed in Europe, Medusa ran off, and Shaula was sealed within the body of a scorpion.” She sighed, shaking her head. “I inadvertently unsealed her while trying to divert a prophecy about Athena waking up, but it seems she is destined to regardless of what we do.”
“And Julian is the one to end her,” he said bluntly. He threaded his fingers together, resting them and his chin on the back of his swivel chair.
“It seems that way,” Conri answered with a short nod. “Trying to go around this prophecy could make things worse. We could very well end with Athena taking down Lord Death, in a worst case scenario.”
His gaze became determined. “Then we’ll make sure to prepare Julian as much as we can.”
Eula nodded. “Of course. I’ll also let Lord Death know myself. Maybe he can find a suitable partner for Julian when he comes of age. He needs to be trained in combat by the school as well.”
Stein put a hand over Eula’s in a sort of comforting gesture. “Thank you for telling me, Eula.”
She closed her eyes, leaning closer to her husband. “I wish you never had to find out about my family this way. I was waiting for the right moment, but it seems that wasn’t in life’s plans.”
A piercing wail was heard from another room of the lab and Eula gave a tired chuckle, moving to get up. “It seems someone is awake. Don’t worry, Stitches, I’ll get him.”
Stein shook his head. “You need to go to sleep, Eula. I’ll get him, I don’t plan on sleeping for a while yet.”
She smiled softly. “I don’t deserve you.”
Putting a hand on Eula’s shoulder as he stood, the scientist smiled. “I could say the same about you.”

Soul Eater OC Tip #2: Use a punny name
Using a punny name will make an OC fit well into the Soul Eater universe because there are hardly any characters in Soul Eater who don’t have a punny name. A punny name does not mean it is limited to including puns or wordplay. The names of Soul Eater characters will often have a name that references to Greek mythology, weaponry, animals, monsters, music artists, or even famous criminals.
The following is a list of canon characters and their name origins.
Tumblr media
Maka Albarn
“Maka” is a wordplay of the Japanese word, kama, which means scythe. It is popularly known that Albarn is a reference to Damon Albarn, the creators of Gorillaz, an English virtual band formed in 1998. This is the most popular guess due to the creator of Soul Eater, Atsushi Ohkubu, being well known to be a big fan of pop music.
Tumblr media
Black Star
The name may be a reference to the color and shape of a shuriken, a throwing weapon popularly associated with ninjas. It may also be a reference to the Radiohead song, Black Star. The lyrics to the song also mention a “falling sky,” while Black Star makes the pun about a falling star in his debut episode.
Tumblr media
Death the Kid
Other than the fact that is the “son” of Lord Death, a Grim Reaper, or death god, Death the Kid’s name references the famous outlaw, Billy the Kid(1859-1881). Billy the Kid was active in the American Old West. He killed eight people before being shot and killed when he was 21. Death the Kid’s name referring to an infamous figure of the Old West may also be connected with his double pistol slinging. Many Western films depicted cowboys or criminals wielding two guns for dramatic effect.
Tumblr media
Liz and Patty Thompson
Thompson is a reference to the Thompson Submachine Gun M1921, or more popularly known as the “Tommy Gun.”
Tumblr media
Franken Stein
The name is a reference to the 1818 novel written by Mary Shelley, Frankenstein. The book depicts a scientist named Victor Frankenstein who discovers the secret of life and creates his own creature, or Frankenstein’s monster. On one hand, Stein’s occupation as a scientist and his ability to make Sid into a zombie is a reference to Frankenstein. On the other hand, Stein’s appearance with the screw in his head and stitches on his skin reference to Frankenstein’s monster.
Tumblr media
Medusa Gorgon
In Greek mythology, Medusa is one of the three Gorgons, often described as winged women with snakes for hair. Out of the three Gorgon sisters in Soul Eater, Medusa is the most faithful to the Gorgon reference because of her snake theme. Arachne is a reference to the story in Greek mythology about a weaver who was turned into a hideous creature we now call spiders. Shaula is the Arabic name of the second brightest object in the constellation Scorpius.
Tumblr media
Ox Ford
The name is a reference to Oxford University in England.
Tumblr media
Harvar D. Éclair
The name comes from Harvard University in the United States. The last name, Éclair, comes from the French word for lightning.
Tumblr media
Jacqueline O’Lantern Dupré
The name is a reference to Jack-O-Lanterns, as Jacqueline’s weapon form is a lantern with holes in the shape of a scary face. Jacqueline du Pré(1945-1987) was a British cellist.
As seen from the examples above, many Soul Eater characters have punny names with references to various popular figures and objects. Keeping these examples in mind will be useful when naming a Soul Eater OC!
If the name origins of some characters were not discussed in the post, please share them!

I had an idea to do a quirk based one of the Gorgon sisters from soul eater and wanted to know if that was possible to even do
I've already done Medusa's Vector Arrows before, so let’s focus on the other two.
It really depends on which sister and power you are trying to cover. If you want to do each of their unique abilities, I don't think that the major abilities of Arachne or Shaula. Requiem of Madness is beyond broken, making the user next to invincible since they are made out of smoke and making them a giant monster. Shaula's brainwashing abilities are too easy to use and are too absolute to reasonably be balanced. However, they do have other abilities that could be used. For Arachne, there is her mind attack, letting her mentally mess with her opponents, which I’ve done with both "Delusion" and "Headspace”. Then there are Shaula’s various poison-related abilities revolving around her scorpion stings, which I have done with "Tritoxin". All that is left is the madness inducement, which can’t exactly work as is given how serious of an effect it has on people. Though something like "Riot", which only induces anger, would be close enough to the effect.
