Biography[]

"Amazon" Eve was an exceptionally tall woman who resided in Jupiter, Florida in the 1950s. With a height closing in at nearly seven feet, she was employed at Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities as a human oddity and musician. She performed piano during musical numbers at the show's various performances. She was very close to two other members of the troupe, Ethel Darling & Ma Petite.

A wealthy socialite named Dandy Mott purchased Fräulein Elsa's Cabinet of Curiosities and booked himself as the star attraction. When his abrasive personality cost him agency with the other performers, his true psychotic nature manifested and he began single-handedly murdering each member of the carnival in turn. Amazon Eve proved to be his toughest opponent, and was able to fight him off. Unfortunately for her, Dandy got the upper hand and shot her in the temple, killing her. [2]

  • Unarmed combat: Amazon Eve's prodigious height gave her a strength advantage over opponents. She sure could knock Dandy Mott's ass around when the need arose.

Notes & Trivia[]
