@Heat

Thought I'd Post her here for review, enjoy and please feel free to make suggestion or comment

April

Age: 18

Sex: Female

Occupation: Priestess of Flora Goddess of Flowering plants and Fertility ::Link to Goddess::

Appearance: April stands 5’6” and weighs around 100 pounds.
Her hair is a flaming red hinting to her origins north of Rome falling to just past her shoulders. Her eyes are dark green and her complexion like fresh milk.

Personality: Thoughtful and Friendly April projects an approachable expression and still manages to be thought of as a young woman filled with a fire.

As a Temple Priestess she is careful not to take sides on issues outside of religion and will if she is able steer the conversation to another subject to avoid clouding her neutrality

Equipment: N/A (Unless you count her purse)

Skills: Theology, Dancing, Singing, Poetry, Herbalism, and Botany

Flaws: April is without Family because as a Priestess of Flora she belongs to the temple the high priest acting as her father which makes her prospects of marriage limited and of benefit only to the temple because as a Fertility Priestess she will most likely married to some elder man who is desperate for an heir.

Her position also makes many think of her as a wanton or whore because of her revealing clothing which is meant to inspire fertility in those who seek her to helps their fields bloom or a couple needs a child.

Backstory: Born in the mountains north east of Rome in a wine growing region her former parents owners of a small farm which failed. Then needing money less they be sold into slavery they were told by the Priest of Flora visiting the village that their daughter and themselves could be saved from such a fate if they would sell the then 4 year old April to the temple not as slave but as daughter to the temple where she’d be trained in the arts and eventually marry above her family station.

Taken to Rome by the Priest Titus Marcus Sempronia who as the temple custom required became her Father. Her temple training was conducted by the other priestess of the temple and by the time she was 11 years old April was made a full priestess because of her grace and exotic beauty.
She was and is a popular priestess because of her volume of successful prayers which granted they say over 100 couples children and her restoration of the Fields she danced in which had bumper crops.

If she had been a man she would have accrued a large amount of wealth and fame due to her abilities but as a beautiful priestess has only made herself the subject of lustful thoughts and dreams among the unmarried or Widowed older Plebs.
