Name
↛ Zoie
Nickname/Alias
↛ Pythia, Thia
Meaning
↛ 'Life' and 'Prophetess', respectively
Gender
↛ Female; Cisgendered
Orientation
↛ Unknown
Status
↛ Single, but unavailable. Chaste.
She has sworn her vows and was baptized into the service of a priestess as a child. By these vows, she is not allowed to sully her virtue, as she is dedicated to the gods and to the gods alone.
Age
↛ Twenty-five
Birthplace
↛ Delphi, Greece
Birthday
↛ October 30th
Scorpio individuals are enigmatic, strong-willed, and passionate. With Pluto as the ruling planet, people born under this sign are considered to be dynamic and extreme in their opinions. They have an adventuresome spirit that manifests itself in a love of travel and distant cultures. These people seek knowledge to gain wisdom. They understand that in order to progress they must have new experiences. To trust instinct over intelligence can be a challenge for them, but is a sound goal.
Alignment
↛ Lawful Neutral
Someone with this mindset believes that the context matters more than the content; the rules matter because they give order to society more than they matter themselves. They might go so far as to believe (possibly correctly) that their superiors have the right to interpret or define the rules as they see fit. However, they still have moral lines they won't cross, and if their ethics are pushed too far, they will disobey, and are not above holding their superiors to account if they are found to be corrupt or incompetent.
Face
↛ Similar to Aja Warren
Species
↛ 100% human
Ethnicity
↛ Greek, of course
Height
↛ 5'6"/170cm
Weight
↛ 145lbs/66kg
Scent
↛ Bay laurel and myrrh
Build
↛ Pear-shaped with some softness, but nothing worth turning heads.
Eyes
↛ Deep-set and heavy-lidded, colored in a shimmering pale gray. Usually gives her a somewhat sleepy appearance.
Hair
↛ Fiery ginger red. Pin-straight and long enough to sweep just below her shoulder blades, with a thick, blunt-cut fringe of bangs to frame her eyes. Usually worn up like so during the day, and left loose at night.
Complexion
↛ Her otherwise fair skin sports a light sprinkling of freckles across the bridge of her nose, the back of her hands and arms, her shoulders, just above her chest, the tops of her thighs, and a few stray spots on the tops of her feet.
Skin Tone
↛ Type 3. Thia has a habit of avoiding too much direct sunlight without proper coverage, as rather than tanning, she grows incredibly freckly.
Tattoos/Scars
↛ Her left leg from knee to ankle is marred by the scars of an old burn wound. She is tremendously self-conscious about it, and keeps it wrapped in white cloth bandages at all times. Her torso bears a similar mutilating scar, wrapping from her navel towards the left side of her rib cage, extending diagonally across her back and ending atop her right shoulder.
↛ Because Pythia's burn is so extensive, her range of motion is somewhat limited by the scar tissue. Too much torsion in her back and torso causes her great pain, and the priestess must be very careful that she doesn't overheat, as the damaged skin is no longer able to sweat and thus, help keep her cool.
Clothing
↛ This, most typically, with this as a secondary, used mainly for traveling, when her robe would otherwise get in the way. Thia has a clear preference for warm, earthy shades and simple designs, and while she owns very few garments, they don't deviate from this.
Grooming
↛ Poor hygiene is deeply frowned upon, and she makes a point to bathe herself often. She's rather uneasy around filth and will go well out of her way to avoid touching it, or anyone who is particularly dirty.
Attitude
↛ Contrary to the image of the calm and quiet priestess (and in turn true to the brilliant shade of her hair) Thia is anything but a wilting flower. Brash, excitable, and an unapologetic smart-ass when properly provoked, the Grecian nevertheless carries a good heart beneath her intense exterior. She is utterly devoted to her gods and her beliefs, possessing the mindset that one cannot represent or serve a solar entity - a being of fire and passion and light - while being passive or meek. That said, she is strictly professional in situations involving her occupation, compassionate to followers and fellow devotees, harmless in most situations in general and is very good at coming off carefree and head-in-the-clouds when in a good mood, though privately she burns with no small degree of self-loathing, bitterness and an absolutely overwhelming need to atone.
Accessories
↛ Two pieces of golden jewelry; a flat, simple cuff about her left wrist and a more decorative band about her right bicep.
Abilities
↛ Pythia bares a curious, inborn ability to see the truth of supernatural creatures, from the infernal to the divine and everything in-between. Human disguises or otherwise often don't work upon her.
Current Residence
↛ Nomadic, and rather out of sorts for it
Occupation
↛ Wandering priestess of Apollo. Formerly, she was ensconced in the temple at Delphi.
↛ One very confused disciple.
Religion
↛ Devout polytheist, to the extreme.
Pythia won't deny the existence of other deities, but she has 150% faith in her own and takes very poorly to those that doubt, disrespect, or outright dismiss their power.
Priorities
↛Revenge, the restoration of honor, and the reclamation of her stolen second sight.
Thia's visions were snatched from her as a punishment for an incident that culminated not only in the vandalization and ransacking of the temple, but the death of another priestess. Though it was an honest mistake, she suffers a tremendous degree of guilt for the transgression and accepts her punishment as fair recompense. She blames not the Gods, but the thieves who deceived her. -

I'm just thankful you're not as crazy as the rest of them are.

It isn't a wish, it is a prayer. It is my desperation.
Whatever may come of it, I am ready.
