+**Patrice Eastaughffe** (11 June 1882 - 23 December 1952) was a scientist and founder of [[The Ring]]. Named by many as one of the most influential people of the XX century, Patrice Eastaughffe led a group of scientists who discovered [[dimension_types|other dimensions]] and developed [[Normal Portal]].
-Today Eastaughffe is also known for her extremely private way of life, so much so that after her death it was realized that there are no public records about even the most basic facts of her life. Several biographers have attempted to write the story of her life, but quickly gave up due to not being able to find enough information. The infamous biographer [[Frank Dupeaux]] has published a story of her life entitled [[When the Bough Breaks|When the Bough Breaks: What we don't know about Patrice Eastaughffe]], where he speculated about what her life could have been like. His book has received praise from both readers and critics, however the consensus was that Dupeaux has written a touching story, but it most definitely has nothing to do with reality.

 ===== Early days =====
@@ Line 23: / Line 23: @@
 By 1905 Eastaughffe and Rogers had produced results with such lasting implications for physics that they were able to open their own lab, which they named [[The Ring]] due to the shape of the facility, which was built in a form of a donut, with a huge circular corridor. The architecture looked very impressive at the time, but The Ring was criticized for wasting too much space on the corridor. A lot of the equipment, however, is hosted underground, and the main labs B and C are underground as well.
 It is at The Ring that Eastaughffe and Rogers have completed the seeker design which allowed to lock the connection between our Universe and other realms, thus securing an interdimensional link (a funnel). The Normal Portal was born. It took 15 more years to be able to develop a saving system, that would reliably re-connect with a given dimension.
+===== Founding of The Ring =====
+Although most of the administrative work was done by Rogers, Eastaughffe was the one who originally pushed for creating a separate facility. It was quickly recognized by the scientific community that the discoveries of the group are bound to open a large area of investigation, and The Ring was not a controversial project.
+What became controversial was the architecture of the building. Conceived by [[Eleanor Leontes]], The Ring is built in a form of a donut, with a spacious corridor dominating the structure. While the building looks impressive, it is frequently criticized as wasting space. Although most of the laboratories are underground, the underground part was not part of the original concept and was added only later, which raises questions as to the practicality of Leontes' design.
+Nevertheless, The Ring became the global center of interdimensional travel and remains in this capacity to this day. The only Normal Portal in the world is located at The Ring, in its underground premises.
+===== Personality =====
+Eastaughffe was reported to be a strong, yet very flexible leader, a talented negotiator, able to masterfully resolve conflicts.
+Known to be private to the extreme, Eastaughffe kept her personal life a complete secret. Not only did no one know anything about her family status, her home address has been a mystery and all correspondence arrived to The Ring.
+Rumors circulated that she was married to Rogers, but Rogers always denied that, and public records show that Rogers never married. He also lived in an apartment across the street from The Ring, and Eastaughffe was never seen there.
+One time, two lab assistants, [[Dory and Lory]], tried to follow Eastaughffe from work, but she probably noticed them, since they reported a convoluted path across the city to Tillie's. They lost her there.
+On another occasion, Nick "Nicolas" Pacth, an engineer from lab B, tried following her too, but she noticed him and told him to go home.
+Several journalists, most notably [[Rob and Dean]], managed to put a GSP tracker on Eastaughffe's coat, but she must have found out, since its readings made little sense and send the signal roaming the whole of New York for days, as if all Eastaughffe did was walk around town.
