Overview
Darrow's first wife, whose execution for singing a forbidden song sparked the flame of revolution. Though she appears only briefly, Eo's dream of freedom for the lowColors drives Darrow throughout the series.
Background
Eo grew up alongside Darrow in the mines of Lykos. She was a dreamer who believed in something more than their underground existence. When she discovered the truth about Mars—that the surface was already terraformed and Reds were kept as slaves—she chose to die rather than live in chains, trusting Darrow to fight for her dream.
Personality
Eo was idealistic, brave, and willing to sacrifice everything for a cause greater than herself. She saw potential in Darrow that he couldn't see in himself. Her spirit lives on through the revolution she inspired, even though she died before it truly began.
