Creator: KateHardy
Roleplay: The Champions of Olympus
Nickname: Steph
Name: Stefania
Age (18-25): 24
Gender: Female she/her
Who are their parents? Hera, goddess of women, marriage, childbirth, heirs, kings and empires and queen of the gods. Zeus, god of the sky, weather, thunder, lightning, law, order, and justice and king of the gods.
Personality: Stefania is a rare breed that most people fail to anticipate. She very much embodies the values of a princess, commanding, polite but firm, kind but not someone easy to take advantage of. Her heart is true, she truly seeks the best for everyone around her whether they be her friends or her enemies. She tries her hardest to see things in a positive light and see people in a positive light which is perhaps her one weakness, being a bit slow to dismiss anyone as being a lost cause. She is also versed in the arts of politics and being polite but firm. She will not raise her voice unless the situation has truly gone well out of hand, but she will not be easily brushed aside by someone simply being louder than her. She stands her ground incredibly well. Although in her youngest years she was a little spoilt and entitled she's grown to be a far more humble person, truly understanding the sheer weight on her shoulders brought on by her parents and being able to bear that responsibility with grace and humility such that everyone that does support her does it only out of love and respect for her. She always strives to embody her mother's and father's ideals while trying to avoid the extremes they both often went to.
Appearance: Stefania is tall, standing at 5' 11". Her skin is a soft unblemished olive and seems to exude a glow that can only correctly be described as regal. Long dark curls reminiscent of her mother frame her face, marked by her large eyes also reminiscent of her mother. Her eyes are however, a striking electric blue much like her fathers. She is strong, fairly well muscled from years of training and she simply just generally commands an air of authority. Her mother was considered second only to Aphrodite in beauty and she exudes that. She has a presence to her that can only be attributed to her parents. Anyone that looks at her just knows that this is a queen.
She certainly dresses the part too, often wearing a long flowing dress often white with simple but elegant gold jewelry. She does also occasionally dabble in a royal blue but you'll never find her outside of an elegant dress.
For battle she usually wears light armor, often a full chestplate and gauntlets with a skirt and greaves, giving her the mobility she enjoys while ensuring she's decently protected. As a more ranged fighter she doesn't tend to wear the heavier armors all that often but she is right at home in both, trained from the time she learned how to walk.
Gifts/Power: From her father: Predictably the daughter of Zeus possesses her father's control over the skies. It is of course extremely taxing for her to do anything big, owing to her relatively tender age as a young goddess so the most she'll do in a day is a few strong winds and the occasional lightning strike. It takes a monumental event and effort for her to churn up a storm of her own and she'd hardly use it in battle because, unless she plans to win by the end of it, she's guaranteed to pass out cold trying to control that much at once. As it is a good lightning strike is enough to make her feel like she just ran a whole marathon.
From her mother: From her mother she has gained a divine authority that makes her verbal commands incredibly powerful. It is limited by the power that she commands over someone. A weak animal or a weak willed mortal would have almost no resistance to her, instantly obeying a command while a demigod, or her fellow gods participating in these trials or a more powerful creature would only be momentarily stunned out of whatever they were doing. She has no effect on beings even more powerful than that. Of course its not anything she says, its a conscious force that she must dredge up and it does drain her, although not as much as controlling the wind or lightning does.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths:
* A strong fighter, trained from a young age and proficient in a variety of weapons although her preferred and strongest suit are javelins and hand to hand.
* A commanding presence, calm and cool under pressure. She is quite good at getting people to work with her or even just negotiating with people who might otherwise be opposed to her.
* Her parents being who they are does earn her a certain amount of respect from people.
Weaknesses:
* Unfortunately, there are also people that hate her guts and want her dead because of her parents or people that consider her achievements not fairly earned because of her parents. She can sometimes have a target on her back.
* Some of her flashier powers will leave her completely defenseless or straight up unconscious so she has to either rely on her pure skill with weapons or only use her powers as a last resort or finishing blow.
* Can sometimes find it hard to understand that some people are just evil for the sake of being evil and cannot be redeemed and so might end up in a sticky situation as a result.
Other: Deianria is her girlfriend of four years who she loves dearly. One could that is a weakness of hers too because if any harm were to befall Deianria she'd be devastated.
She has a pet cow named Bessie that she loves dearly and was a gift from her mother.
