Helena June Chitwood
"Take my good advice, and forget your misery."
Gender: Female
Age: 18
Sexuality: Pansexual
Godly ancestor: Hera, Goddess of Marriage, Queen of Gods
Direct (Illegitimate) Daughter
Relationship with godly ancestor: She has a very strange relationship with her mother. Hera was a bit more involved in her life than her mortal guardians expected. She isn't necessarily close, but she worships her mother and does her best to make her proud with the improper title that was given to her.
Relationship with mortal family: After birth, she was handed off to a family of worshippers that Hera kept an incredibly close eye on. They were hellenic pagans that never gave up the faith for the generations, and received Helena eagerly, seeing her as both a reward for loyalty, and a great blessing.
Powers:
Absorption Kiss: Through a kiss, Helena is able to drain others of emotion they wish to be rid of. This only works if the receiving end wants to be rid of a certain feeling.
Supernatural Beauty: Though not as beautiful as other demigods, to humans she seems to be unearthly.
Avelingualism: Ability to communicate with birds.
Influential Desire: It can vastly be written off as coincidence, but it seemed as though when she surrounded herself with humans, those in relationships tended to cheat on their significant others. Hera told her that her presence alone caused such a thing. She is not sure if this is true or she has simply surrounded herself with people who cheat.
Shapeshifting: This is relatively new to her, though she managed once to change herself into a finch, then once into a cardinal. She once tried to simply give herself the wings of a bird while keeping her human features. It almost worked, but failed as she formed the feathers, resulting in immense pain that her mortal parents just didn't know how to deal with. She can however, grow claw-like nails that have strength relative to that of a talon.
Personality: Helena is not one to gossip herself, but she does all she can to make sure she knows everything she can about others. This is where her Avelingualism comes in handy. She is not very compassionate or caring, mostly coming off as apathetic until something benefits her. She can occasionally be flirtatious.
Bio: Conceived not from lust, but from anger and petty revenge, Hera often refers to Helena as her the embodiment of infidelity, as she was born from the affair of the Goddess of Marriage. Helena doesn't at all mind the role she seems to play for her mother.
Helena grew up in Salem, VA. It was a relatively small town that could be better described as a retirement community with a college in it. She didn't at all mind it, as it was a small enough town she knew everyone's business, yet large enough where she didn't have to see someone if she wished to avoid them. She got a job as an apprentice wedding planner, but quickly left the employment after all of her clients ended up cheating on each other before the wedding and cancelling.
Due to her apparent influence, she tends to distance herself from others. She has many acquaintances, and a few friends, but those few friends don't last long in her presence. Because of this, she keeps birds as friends, talking with them as they keep her company.
After the divorce of her mortal parents, her father informed her of a place she could go to be surrounded by what could be considered peers. As she had graduated high school three years early, she was sent to New Celestia on her eighteenth birthday.
