Shiloh Seo

Shiloh is one of the next army surgeons in The Three Army Surgeons. Destined to cut their heart out and replace it with a pig's heart, it's pretty obvious to see why she's not too keen to wreck her health due to an innkeeper's bet and an incompetent employee.

Story
There's three surgeons coming home from war/are travellers when they arrive at an inn. They're dared to do something cool by the innkeeper who probably doesn't understand the actual benefits of travelling surgeons being in town. Anyways the surgeons have some sort of magical medicine that can reattach anything so each removes a body part- heart, eyes and hand- to reattach the next morning. The parts are put into a box and the box into the inn's cupboard.

The maid working at the inn has a boyfriend who comes in back so she goes to get him some food and leaves the cupboard open, allowing the cat to get in and eat the parts. Well the maid is in trouble so sends her bf to replace them before anyone notices. He kills a cat for it's eyes, gets a pig heart and cuts off the hand of a thief who was hanged at the gallows.

Next day, the surgeons reattach their parts and leave. While they're travelling, the pig-hearted surgeon keeps rooting about in dirt and the cat-eyed one can't see anything. At the next town, dr deadhand finds himself involuntarily pickpocketing and at night, the cat eyed man finds he has night vision. They go back to the inn, threaten to burn it down and get paid enough to retire (though they'd rather have their own parts instead)"It's about demanding compensation for a night time death."

Shiloh's role
After their story ended, the three surgeons pretty much shut down for a few years, buying a random house and doing nothing else as their fates had turned out much more horrific than their years at EAH would have implied. Dr Seo's health took a complete nosedive as magically attaching a heart into an incompatible body ends up creating a cycle of rejection and forced compatability which is... terrible. During this time they were helped by their schoolfriend, the inn maid who began working as their housemaid.

Eventually they used the money to start a transplant clinic. Their natural talents and years of study resurfaced, allowing them a modest amount of success and their clinic began to expand. Eventually Shiloh was adopted as an infant by Dr Seo. She pretty much grew up moving between the clinic and the oversized house.

Currently the surgeons run a rather large hospital with a highly specialised surgery ward and research unit, which develops many new half magical medicines in the same vein as that of the original ointment. Recently the surgeons have begun repurposing the entire first floor of their unnessecarily large mansion into laboratories, offices and an alternate clinic. They also have a number of boarders, the current longer term ones being law student Dinah Knightly, medical students Pearce Conway, Hiran Khan, Alvina Quillwitch and Wonderlandian entertainer Truce Caukeet. Basically Shiloh's family dynamic would be a family of six/seven that gradually expanded over the course of her life.

Destiny-wise, her father has amassed a large hatred of the story, leading him to create mountains of plans to trick the Storybook of Legends. From a young age Shiloh witnessed the drastic impact on his health and pretty much agrees that the destiny thing was a ridiculous concept and doesn't understand why she too must ruin her life for a story. However she generally kept silent about her negative sentiments, trying to avoid being seen as a problem student, which would mean she would be under closer observation by EAH staff making it more difficult to find loopholes to exploit in her story to avoid her fate. Now, despite not needing to follow her story, she still remains quiet about rebellious sentiments, finding it unnessecary to mention.

Family
Shiloh loves her father, Doctor Seo, and respects him as a great doctor as well as admiring his ability to get back on his feet after ruining his health so badly. She tends to worry about him and works hard to aid him in any way he might need it. She understands that his disorganised and slightly unhinged hog like tendencies are just a fact of life, but she frequently gets frustrated at the irregularity of his schedule and his constant lateness and disappearences, especially when it's at the expense of some semi important event.

Romance
Shiloh admires the law student rooming at her home, Dinah Knightly as an impressively competent and intelligent woman and yeah, has a large crush on her. She refuses to tell anyone about this and will murder Ty if they ever mention it. Unfortunately for her, she's fully aware it'll never happen.

Pet
Thanks to a worried Dr Seo, Shiloh recently received a golden retriever named Caleb. Caleb was originally trained as a hearing dog. He is generally kept in the dorms or outside, but she prefers to be accompanied by him when going out anywhere.

Trivia

 * Shiloh is a reference to the protagonist of Repo-the genetic opera (about a world where sugery is the norm and designer organs can be reclaimed by the dictatorial company GeneCo, to give a brief summary)
 * Seo- sew. Yup a pun.
 * The magical medicine is a variation of that used by Godfather Death's physician. Basically one of the previous surgeons was a (seventh) sibling of the physician who ended up using a sample of the herb to replicate the medicine. Over time it was modified into the current ointment. (The bloodlines are so divorced there's no relation between the stories anymore)
 * For a Thronecoming gift Shiloh received a letter with detailed instructions from her father. In it, the nuances of the medicine are illustrated along with multiple plans to switch her heart at various points of the story to preserve it. It also states that if all else failed, he has a proper donor heart in waiting.
 * Shiloh's birthday is August 17th.
 * Definitely a dog person.
 * Had a childhood phobia of inns, mostly due to a very abstract understanding of them derived from her tale. She gets annoyed if this is ever mentioned and will probably start criticising the inn as some sort of convoluted proof.
