Eutrope is a non-playable character in Final Fantasy XIV. Her fighter alias is Wicked Thunder, one of competitors in the heavyweight tier of the Ascension Arcadia Championship. Eutrope is the sister of Neyuni and Yaana.
History[]
Before Dawntrail[]
Eutrope was born to Turali Hhetsarro parents who were in Yyasulani when the dome appeared and became trapped there. They worked as hunters. One day, her parents went hunting but never returned. Unlike many others who were also trapped in the dome, Eutrope's parents refused to use soul regulators, which is why Eutrope and her sisters never forgot them. After their parents died, Eutrope insisted that the sisters start using soul regulators, if only to spare themselves from a similar fate.[1] She had a different birth name but adopted an Alexandrian one instead.
Eutrope mastered the use of electrope and, by using it in conjunction with Levinsteed's soul, made a name for herself as "Wicked Thunder" in the Ascension Arcadia Championship, fighting in the highest division, heavyweight. She taught Yaana how to fight, and Yaana's efforts allowed her to enter the Arcadia Championship in the light heavyweight division as a rookie.[1]
Eutrope began to notice symptoms of psychonekrosis in her body and attempted to seek counsel from the immortalized. However, when she snuck into the President's office, she discovered that those who were immortalized were taken away to a secret facility, where their regulators were removed, and they were kept in confinement until they died. Eutrope then disappeared to search for a cure for psychonekrosis, leaving Yaana and Neyuni alone.[2]
Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail[]
Eutrope threatening the Warrior of Light.
After the Warrior of Light faced and defeated the current champion of the division, the Brute Bomber, Metem held a coronation ceremony for the new champion. During the event, the Brute Bomber interrupted by storming the stage. He charged at the Warrior of Light, but before he could strike, he was knocked out by a bolt of lightning from Eutrope. Eutrope then threatened to take the Warrior of Light's soul, which Metem interpreted as a challenge. However, Metem had no authority to permit such a duel, as Wicked Thunder's license had been revoked after her disappearance. Conveniently, the voice of the President of Ascension Arcadia suddenly echoed through the stadium, sanctioning the confrontation.[3]
The Warrior of Light was able to defeat Eutrope, and she retreated. Yaana and the Warrior of Light returned to the gym to talk with Neyuni, but Eutrope soon came in after them, surprised to see the Warrior of Light there. However, Eutrope didn't come to fight; she came to talk to her sisters. Yaana demanded to know why Eutrope had left without saying anything. Eutrope was about to explain but first insisted that Yaana stop fighting in the Arcadion immediately if she wanted to live. Yaana didn't understand, but Eutrope explained that the excessive use of feral souls would eventually cause a disease called psychonekrosis, which causes a person's own soul to degrade, leading to eventual death.
Eutrope and her sisters.
Yaana didn't believe this, arguing that she could still remember all those who were immortalized. Eutrope responded that the life of comfort for the immortalized is a lie. She revealed what she had discovered about the immortalized and explained that she had left to search for a cure for her psychonekrosis. She had found a way but needed a new dense soul, like the Warrior of Light's. She swore that next time, she would have it. However, Yaana argued that it was wrong to take the Warrior of Light's soul, even if it could save her. Eutrope lashed out, saying it was easy for Yaana to say that since she didn't know what it felt like to have her soul eaten. Just then, Metem knocked on the door, and Eutrope fled.[2]
Characteristics[]
Appearance[]
Wicked Thunder's profile poster.
Eutrope is a tan-skinned Hhetsarro with light-pink hair with light-blue hairtips. She carries a electrope cube, that allows her to channel lightning energy.
In her Wicked Thunder form, where she channels the soul of a levinsteed, her body transforms to become more satyr-like, much like Ramuh appeared in 
Eden's Verse: Fulmination, but also showing characteristics of Ixion, the horse-like thunder-based creature from various Final Fantasy titles, that first appeared in Final Fantasy X. Her usage of machina in this Ixion-like state also evokes its appearance from Final Fantasy X-2. In the Savage mode of her fight, she fuses herself with electrope in desperation to defeat the Warrior of Light, unleashing another feral soul that causes her to become gigantic and sprouting two electrope tentacles and a giant arm out of her shoulder.
Personality[]
Eutrope cares for her sisters, as she insisted they wear soul regulators after the death of their parents. However, when she discovered she was suffering from psychonekrosis, she grew desperate to save herself, and didn't show much care about others, specifically the Warrior of Light. Even Yaana pointed out, how selfish it is to just take one's soul to save herself.
Gameplay[]

Eutrope is fought as the Wicked Thunder in the AAC Light-heavyweight M4 and its Savage mode, serving as the final boss of the Light-heavyweight tier of the Arcadion raid series in Dawntrail.
