Cyrene I've just seen a face, I can't forget the time or place PERSONALITY Had it been another day I might have looked the other way •Taking after both of her parents’ jealous streaks means that she can come off as extremely temperamental and angry. She covets her time with her people and loathes having to share it with others. •She is not a natural leader, but feels the need to stand up for people and her brothers tend to do as she asks because they want to make her happy. She is fiercely protective of her siblings and has wound up in fights over things said about them. •She gets very shy in large groups of people. This can come off as her being very naive or snobbish when she really just doesn’t know what to say. •Most comfortable when she is working on her jewelry. She likes silence because it helps her avoid giving into her more negative impulses. •Has a childlike excitement about learning new things and will focus on it to the point of obsession. The year she learned to knit everyone she knew got a sweater, Ares included. HISTORY I have never known The like of this, I've been alone •The only child Hephaestus and Aphrodite had together, it took them over 600 years before they conceived her. While they love one another, her mother’s wandering eye and her father’s jealousy have created a very interesting family. She is closer with her father than her mother, who in general tends to favor her sons. •She is the closest to Eros, Anteros and Cabeiri out of all her siblings. Eros and Anteros have taught her a lot about the mortal realm, and encourage her spirit and the Cabeiri understand her creativity. She does not get along with any of her sisters, especially on her father’s side. While she says it’s because they’re too graceful for her taste, in all actuality she is deeply jealous of their beauty and the fact that none of them inherited Hephaestus’ cursed skin. •Despite being a goddess of love, she has only been in love twice. Once it was the classic child ideation of her elder half-brother, Eros. He had laughed at the small child softly, kissed her forehead and told her she was far too beautiful for him. She grew to love her Sister-In-Law Psyche over time and despite her childish jealousy was one of the people to help the mortal-turned-Goddess pass the tests Aphrodite set for her. The second time was a beautiful red-headed girl in Italy in the 1700s. It was the only time she was away from Olympus or Mount Etna for more than a few days and the two fell madly in love with one another. They hid in the girl’s family’s hunting cabin for a two decades, until the woman could no longer take the unaging goddess at her side and left. A heartbroken Cyrene returned home and didn’t leave her Mount Etna for two years. •She has inherited her father’s cursed skin and while she wasn’t born deformed, her skin scars and burns like his. When it was discovered her mother forbid her from entering the forge, not wanting her daughter to suffer the scars. This broke Cyrene’s heart and left her despondent for months. Her father and elder brothers made protective clothing for her in an effort to cheer her and to assure Aphrodite that she could work without worry. This caused the worst fight she had ever seen her parents have and her greatest accident. In her fear and anguish at being the cause of the argument, Cyrene spilt molten metal down her leg, burning through the leather and scarring her left leg. Her mother promised to never again bring it up, but she has also never worn anything that Cyrene has forged for her as punishment for her defiance. •She has an extremely tenuous relationship with most of the main Gods and Goddesses due to her parents indiscretions. She has major issues with Zeus and Ares especially. She can’t even be in the same room as Ares. If he shows up to an event she leaves immediately. •Aphrodite insisted she be born on Olympus, but in her urgency to enter the world she almost wasn’t. Her father’s chariot raced them to the top but she was halfway out by the time they reached the stop. Her parents could not settle on a name so she wound up with two. • • • •
