Pull Point: post-A route

Background Info:
History: Eater's history is vague. They claim to be Eater the Minstrel, traveling the world in search of strong men to write songs about. She's certainly not faking the appetite for strong men to drool over, but her true objectives lie in mystery. How long have they been wandering? How old are they really? Where exactly have they been? Where is she planning to go besides inside some handsome guy's pants?

Things that are facts: they're a fallen angel of some kind. They have indeed been wandering the world for a while and hear tales of bold and brave men. They also have a split personality that turns from a woman during the day into a man during the night. Is this natural? If not, how do you get a split personality like that? None of this makes any sense.

During the game, she joins up with the main characters' army after the girls rescue her from some men she was pissing off by telling them that they smelled. Also they mentioned that there were strong men in their army and she was hooked. And then night fell, they learned of her split personality, and another weird person was added to the cast of characters.
Personality: Eater's personality has a major split between the female side and the male side.

Female Eater is a romantic, or at least attempts to be one. She wanders the world searching for wonderful gentlemen, and when she even hears about them she starts literally drooling. This is apparently her major goal in life. She's also more than a bit of a ditz. Many people would not tell a group of increasingly angry men that they smell bad. Eater would and did, either oblivious to the fact that they were going to attack her for it or just that badly needing to say that they were smelly.

Male Eater is more careless and rough than that. He doesn't care about any fine gentlemen - he just wants a fight, good food, and the basics of fun living. He wears the same pretty clothing female Eater does because she's the one who gets dressed in the morning, so why bother changing? He's a bit rude and impatient, and can make fun of people for being slow or forgetting that he's a guy during fanservice situations.

Notably, he lacks finesse enough to be the only character in the game unable to use skills. He makes up for it by being really friggin' strong. Female Eater uses her harp to cast magic spells. Male Eater beats enemies to death with it.

Game Specific:
Arcana: Lovers
Justification: What better arcana is there for two personalities in one? Although they have their differences and petty bickerings, male and female Eater are unltimately the same person. They take the same path in life and make choices that the other will accept. Their dual nature is something that they've long since worked out if it was ever a problem, and now it is simply a part of them.


Samples:

First Person Sample: I see you have all been well since I left you last~ Tell me what great deeds have occurred in my absence. There must surely have been a few. After all, we do fight ferocious monsters every night! In the trials of combat, heroes rise to glory. Ah, I can only just imagine how brave they must have been~

...and I suppose I should ask now, to save time, if the bar still has that bartender my other half dislikes.
Third Person Sample: The one thing Eater can count on is that as the sun sets, her mind will fade into the background as his mind takes control. It's impossible for them not to notice, and it's impossible for others around them not to notice, as well. Eater's posture shifts from good to poor in an instant, a sentence began kindly will end with a 'screw you', and something about the gleam in his eyes doesn't feel like it should belong to her.

Because, of course, it doesn't.

It's a bit of an unnerving change to watch, and when Eater is more thoughtful, she will avoid being around others at sunset. She rarely is that thoughtful. For something that's happened for over a thousand years, it often slips her mind.
