Backstory:
Born on the day of a solar eclipse, Eclipse became a special vampire. The power of the eclipse flowed through her, allowing her to summon weapons made of pure solar eclipse power. The vampires thought she would be the one to lead them to conquering Skylands.

She trained for that goal day in and day out. She became a fierce warrior, a one woman army. When it came time for battle, she charged in first and tore through the enemy. Only when the battle ended, she felt off. Looking down at the mabu she had slain, she felt bad. Her family told her that was weakness, and she should make it so she feels nothing.

That's when she made her cloak out of mist. It would wrap around her and block out all emotion. She would become a black void meant to fight. She rampaged through the Skylands decimating villages, until one day, she came upon one in the cloudbreak isles.

The Skylanders came to protect the village and she battled them all. She took on ten at a time and danced between them all, sending them one by one back to the academy. Portaled back to their portal master, unable to fight anymore. Ten Skylanders turned to twenty, twenty to forty. Soon she stood victorious over the last Skylander that had was left in this massive team. A small purple dragon.

She held her eclipse spear down to his throat and prepared to kill him when he spoke. What he said pierced her dark cloak and she felt it. She pitied the dragon. She pitied them all. She looked at the destruction she had caused throughout the village, the mabu cowering in fear.

She turned and ran. She returned home, questioning what the vampires had her doing. The world domination they sought. They didn't like her questioning and tried to control her. They pushed her and tried to force her away and she summoned her spears and killed them. She brought down the vampires and turned herself in to the Skylanders. All she wanted was a second chance. A chance to do good. And after years in Cloudcracker, that second chance finally came in the form of an offer to join a brand new team. The Shrink Squad.

Personality:
Eclipse is a bit of an outcast. She was viewed as one of the most deadly and ruthless villains in Skylands history before making her turn to good. She tries to fit in with the others, but struggles. She carries a weight of sadness on her shoulders, both from what she did to the world and to her family. She seeks to find happiness now. Happiness in the form of helping others.
