Distinguishing features (piercing, scars, birthmarks, etc): one regular peircing in each ear and one peircing on the top of her right ear. There's a teenytiny white dot in the center of each of her pupils - hardly anyone notices it unless she points it out or they look deep into her eyes.
Physical imperfections/would like most to change: Nothing much. She's happy with the way she is.
Physical illnesses or afflictions: Catches sneezes easily, but that's just 'cause the library is still so dusty.

Powers/special abilities (and their limitations): Can teleport self anywhere, and up to two other people up to five miles in one stint. Cannot teleport large loads (like a chariot and horses). Can levitate small things easily, but not large loads more than a few inches off the ground for a few moments. Can't levitate herself. Can make small things materialize and de-materialize easily (create and de-create from thin air), but aside from fixing damaged YHU walls and furnature, can't really create anything big out of thin air. Cannot read minds or talk telepathically, but if in a life-or-death situation might be able to gather enough strength to send one short telepathic message, but it would be severely draining. Can hear prayers sent to her, as well as Aphrodite's summons/orders in her head. Cannot shoot lightning bolts, but can create a small spark (enough to light a candle or slowly start a camp fire.) Has been trained how to make most love and anti-love dust/spells, and can recognize most types of dust. Cannot turn invisible to mortals.

Education: High-school grad level.
Skills, abilities and talents: as mentioned above. I also am rather good at knowing how to distract Ares ^_^ Can usually stand up to Ares in a fight (only because I've been with him long enough I know most of his moves - otherwise I would never be able to hold my own against a major god), at least long enough to move into the second stage of it.
Areas of expertise: Love potions, The library.
Weakness(es): food (esp. chocolate and Kora's bean water), being taken advantage of. Hind's blood. Cannot turn invisible to mortals. Isn't very good at making decisions or giving people bad news. Trips easily.

Past Occupations (if any): none.

~Personality~

Psychological description: Sweet, strangly naive about some matters and incredibly experienced in others. Usually kind and mellow-tempered, but if angered - watch out!
Good, bad or neutral: Neutral tilting towards Good. But I'm dating bad and my boss can swing back and forth, so...yeah. But I would never hurt any of the cadets if there was any other way.
General personality type: INFP
Introvert/extrovert: Middle, leaning towards Introvert, although scarily extroverted at times.
Method of dealing with anger: destroying easy-to-be-replaced stuff, setting things on fire, getting into a knock-down drag-out fight with Ares that leads into some private time together.
Philosophy of life: Do what you love.
Fears: Spiders, bottomless pits, being used as a pawn, hurting friends.
Manias/Obsessions: The library, writing the weekly tests, organizing the YHU. Dropping by Corinth to watch a play.
Pet peeves and gripes: people who don't turn their scrolls in to my office in a timely manner, and people whose penmanship leads much to be desired. People who aren't willing to help their fellows. Strife is annoying ^_~ but at least he's funny. People who are mean to Fatus, or dis me for being friends with him.
Relationships with parents/family: I can't remember any family. (see intro story)
Things that make uncomfortable or embarrass: My relationship with Ares being frowned upon by my friends, my loyalties being questioned.
Most painful things in one's life: Leaving my life and world in the future to go back in time and train as Aphrodite's minion - just because I don't remember it doesn't mean it doesn't still affect me. Trying to balance my loyalty to my friends and my love of Ares. Knowing that, because of what I'm goddess of, I'm cursed to never have Ares love me as much as I love him. But I deal, because if I work my magic right I can make him want me as much as I want him ^_~
Traumas/psychological scars from the past: Growing up feeling severely different and out of place, wondering who my birth parents were. Nothing too terrible. Waking up in ancient Greece not remembering hardly a thing about my past, except for vague impressions.
Sexual orientation: I'm deeply in love with Ares, but I'm not blind to women's charms. If I could track down a little of that cloning dust again I wouldn't be adverse to seeing what I can do, if you know what I mean ^_~
Most crucial experience(s) that helped mold the character's personality/attitude: Learning that I did have Goddess powers, going back in time to learn how to use them (and losing my memories of the future), falling for Ares, sending my child (myself) to the future to be raised.
Problems with the law/authority (if so, for what?): I'm a goddess, so the law can't catch me if I don't want to be caught ^_~

~Character history/Intro story~

Eventually I'll finish my fic that explains this, but here is a short summary: I was adopted as a baby, and raised in the late 20th century. I always had a healthy obsession with Greek Mythology that I couldn't explain. My foster mother told me about the day my birth-mother knocked on her door and gave me to her to raise. The only thing I had of my birth-mother's was a silver ring and my foster-mother's description of her. My foster mother often told me I was growing up to look exactly like my mother ^_^ I was fourteen when Dite contacted me. She told me that I was really a minor goddess, but that my powers would never properly develop if I continued living in the future, and that they might even become a danger to me and those around me. She gave me the option of letting her turn me completely mortal and living out my life, or taking me back to the past where my powers could be developed properly and I could work for her. I didn't really have anything keeping me in the future, so I went back with her. We ended up roughly 100yrs before the tv show started, and I began my training with her. Again, she gave me an option - It would be too hard for me to keep my knowledge of the future - not only did I miss cars and microwaves and diet coke, but if I didn't have my memory wiped I might accidently throw off the timeline by creating something in Greece that isn't invented for centuries. So I could either have my memories wiped and be left with regular common sense but not solid memories of where I came from, or else Dite would wipe my memories and give me a new set so I would remember growing up as an average Greek girl. I didn't want a head full of memories of a fake life, so I chose the first option and promptly forgot everything about the 20th century. I developed normally for a human, but after I turned 22 my body kinda stopped aging, and decades later I still looked the same. When I was around 25 I met Ares for the first time and fell madly in love with him. It took me five years to get him to notice me. I was 33 before he ever talked directly to me, and 47 the first time I lured him to my bed. Before Ares I dallied here and there with various mortals, but afterward I rarely was with anyone but him. For two decades we were on again off again, and I was seventy-one when I found out I was pregnate. I never told Ares - it wasn't unusual for us to spend several month not even seeing each other in passing, so from the time I was showing to the time I delivered my baby, I made an effort to stay inside 'Dite's temple so no one saw. It wasn't unusual either for Dite to keep me shut up in her temple for months, learning the intricisies of Love, so no one questioned it. Thirteen days after my daughter was born, I cast a spell to transport us to the person who would be best suited to raise my daughter. I found myself standing on the doorstoop of my foster-mother's home, on the day my foster-mother told me she'd taken me in, but Of course I had forgotten everything about my life before Dite, so I didn't know any of this - all I had was a strange feeling of familiarity and a deep-seated knowledge that my daughter would be raised well. When my foster-mother answered the door I gave my baby to her, telling her that she was destined to raise my child (unwittingly saying the exact same thing she had always told me growing up that my mother had said when she gave me to my foster mother - but of course I don't remember this. I also took off the silver ring that I'd worn on the middle finger of my left hand for as long as I could remember (when I looked at it I knew it had been a gift from my mother, but I couldn't remember anything else about my mother or how I'd gotten it), and gave it to her to give to my child (me) when I was old enough. Then I went back to Dite and Ares and Ancient Greece. When I was 116, Dite decided I had finally learned enough (not all, mind you, just 'enough') about my powers and duties and stuff, that it was time to go back out in the world and learn to live amongst mortals. I joined Cheiron's Academy and have been learning there ever since.
