__________________IN-DEPTH STUFFPhysical Description: Athanasia is an imposing figure - it's easy to see why she's worshiped as a goddess. Her dark skin is completely unblemished, save for the dark red scales. They plate over her back, cover the whole tail and creep over her body. Her hair was originally dark brown, but she's since dyed some strands in a variety of colours, creating a rainbow effect.
As befitting a goddess, she only wears the most beautiful and rich garments. Her natural vanity is hard to appease, especially by the simple people who worship her. Plenty of traveling merchants made quite a profit selling rare textiles and threads in Toledo. She's equally fond of jewellery, wearing necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets on every limb and tail, even some tiaras. Her keen sense of beauty stops her from crossing the line between stylish and gauche.
musicPersonality: Athanasia's core trait is her vanity and pride. She enjoys being worshiped and has no intention of leaving her lair - save, perhaps, for a better one. She loves luxuries and comfort, and has a particular love for beauty: art pieces, fashionable clothing and jewelry. She's also lazy - she has no intention of working to earn her living, and a simple existence of a goddess suits her just fine. She is easily taken in by compliments, and while she has some cunning, she can be also quite gullible.
Magic/Abilities: Athanasia has a minor ability to conjure and control fire. She uses it mostly to awe her worshipers.
Relationships: - The tribe she originally came from
- The people of Toledo who revere her as a goddess
History: She was born to one of the Kulshedra tribes wandering the land. Her beautiful dark red scales were the envy of many, and her people expected a lot from her. She was given the name of Carmine to honour her unusual colours, and was given a lot of privileges. Unfortunately, it went to her head. She grew to expect the people around her to give praise and gifts, while she did nothing in return. By the time her tribe realized that their hopes had the opposite effect, it was too late.
Despite their best efforts, Carmine's pride has been bloated to the point that she now believed everyone owed her their respect and work, with her giving nothing in return. There was nothing that could be done, and the other Kulshedra ended up making the difficult decision to exile her. They couldn't just keep someone who contributed nothing - even someone with such beautiful colourful scales.
She probably would have had learned some hard lessons, had she not found her way to a small village of Toledo in Adela. The simple folk were very devoted to the spirits, and have never meet a Kulshedra before. Carmine's appearance: her shining scales, her thick tail, even her minor ability to shape fire led the people of the village to a simple conclusion: she was a powerful spirit that took physical form to bless their lives with her presence.
She was very pleased to encounter people willing to give her the worship she rightfully deserved. One of her first acts as a goddess was rejecting her former name - those who called her 'Carmine' were not worthy of her presence, not worthy to mark her with a name. She ended up choosing 'Athanasia', for no other reason than it sounding elegant and worthy of her.
Character Limitations: I would ask that you don't do any permanent harm to her.
