Xena is a petite girl, standing at 5'5. Her long silver hair flows slightly past her hips and ends in soft waves - it's shine and sleek texture making it apparent that her hair is well taken care of. Her amber eyes appear almost golden under the warm rays of the sun, and her dark lashes frame her round eyes perfectly.

She is usually seen wearing a dress that is commonly worn by women in her tribe; a haltered white dress with ruffles around the neck. The back is left bare to show their tattoos, and the skirt flows freely to the ground. Each member of her tribe has their own unique tattoo carved into their backs; each with different meanings and design. Xena's tattoo is a soaring eagle, signifying that she will conquer and reach great heights. People of her tribe also wear masks that have animal features to signify beauty, strength, and the hunt.

The mark of her curse closely resembles a crescent moon and is located just right under her left collarbone. When it spreads across her body, it appears as dark veins around her arms, slowly crawling up to her neck, and covering the left side of her face.

A soul filled with wonder and curiosity. She often wonders about all the places she hasn't visited and wishes to travel around the world someday. She reads works of writing as a way for her to learn more about places, people, and nature. She is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. She doesn't dwell too much on the negative because she believes every problem has a solution. 

Xena is very charismatic and poised. She walks and talks in a lady-like manner, giving off a regal vibe. She always carries herself with grace and femininity. She is painfully honest and vocal about her opinions but is secretive when it comes to personal things. There's more to her than meets the eye. She often says things that make people wonder. She likes to challenge people into thinking, therefore, she says certain things in a way that would not be understood immediately if not given proper thought 
Kind of like a riddle.

Xena belongs to the Abaneki Tribe; a tribe situated in the northern east. The village is hidden away, surrounded by large trees, rare flowers, and different bodies of water. The tribe is known for the beauty of its surroundings. The Abaneki Falls is located in the heart of the village, which is truly a wonderful sight to behold.

The clan has access to many scrolls, even ones dating back to a thousand years. These writings talk about their history and are brimming with legend and folklore. A famous legend surrounding their tribe claims that their people are closely related to sirens--but a different version claims that they're related to faes.

The women of the village excel in arts and music. Xena herself is skilled at singing, dancing, and playing musical instruments. Men, on the other hand, are skilled at hunting and fighting. In their tribe, to fight and hunt is a man's job, while women are not allowed to pick up a weapon, so as not to taint their "purity". Men of this tribe are also known for their chivalry.

Xena has two brothers and is the only daughter of the Chieftain. Because of this, they're highly protective of her and is usually never seen without her guards. She spent most of her childhood reading and learning instruments. She often slips into the woods alone to play her flute.

⍚ ASTERIA ⥥ GODDESS OF STARS AND THE WEAVING OF COSMIC TIME AND FATE ⥥  FEMALE⥥  HETEROSEXUAL⍚ 

Selfish decisions and choices I've made

Led up to the loss of a love now forbade

Though the feelings remain a grin crosses my face

For not a thing matters, the time nor the place

Weavers of fate hold the rights to the thread

As time passes by I now lie in wait 

For the one who can show me, my Weaver of fateRobert Blackford

Stands at 5'6 and walks with elegance and grace. Asteria has pale skin and soft rosy lips. Her silver hair flows past her ankles and onto the ground, adorned with glimmering stars that hold the fates of the immortals. One can say that the weaver is the epitome of beauty and utter mystery. Her eyes seem to hold the universe and immeasurable knowledge, and her dress is said to have been woven from moonlight and a blanket of stars. The land she walks on shimmers as she leaves a trail of stars in her wake. She always has a soft smile plastered on her face, knowing that everything is at the right place at the right time.

Island of creation

The island of creation is the place where all life began. It is the home of Asteria, and is a heavily guarded place, as anyone who can slay her can change their fate and control time itself. 

Threads of Fate

A collection of woven threads. Also known as the Threads of Life. These threads represent the life and storyline of any person or creature in the world. If one can get a hold of their thread, they are able to change their own destiny. These thread woven together appear as the stars in the night sky. When a thread of life is cut, it is the end of life for that mortal.

Temple of Fates

Sacred temple located high above the Island of Creation. It is hidden in a sea of dark mist.

Loom Chamber

Located deep within the Temple of Fates. This is the room where Asteria weaves the threads of life for all beings. 

Runes

The runes are an alphabet with each letter carved on a wooden button. Each letter is associated with a possible event type. The buttons are placed in a bag and drawn out one by one. The order and nature of the ones drawn are used to determine the future.

Weaving of Fate

The weaver lays out a plan for each person at birth through a game of chance. A lottery is used to distribute every good and bad of the world to every mortal born. A bag is filled with these goods and bads, and the tokens are drawn out before a person is reincarnated. The lottery is supposed to be a way for beings to have an equal chance at gaining something good. In a normal lottery, this would be a random event. However, the weaver can draw out tokens that would suit to her liking. She does this when she favors a being or has looked into the previous life of a person and saw that they deserved something good. When the fabric is cut, it signifies the time of death.

Asteria, The Weaver of Fate

"The curse you've placed upon the Gods.. I have seen this occur a thousand years ago, but I bothered not to mess with the threads of fate. That, until the day mine eyes met his. No doubt, he is my Starkissed. He, whom you have cursed and cast away." 

"Ah.." The Dark God chuckled. "You should have known from the beginning that he is your Starkissed -- your destined lover. You have knowledge of the past, present, and the future."

"You forget that I don't weave my own thread, nor can I look into my own future. However, I assure you that things will not go your way. Take caution, fellow God. Heed my warning." Her voice was calm and soft; almost like a melody ringing in one's ear.

The Dark God laughed, mocking her. "So you would dare defy fate for your own selfish desires? As you said, this has been woven in the threads of life. To change the events that have occurred is selfish and abominable. One must not mess with time and fate. "

The weaver chuckled softly, seeing a hint of fear in the God's eyes, masked with confidence and bitterness. "I have no business with the past. I can simply rewrite the future. It may be for my own selfish desires, but I am a Goddess. And Gods have always been a little selfish."

"Do not mess with fate, I warn. Everything has been written, and must remain unchanged."

"I am not messing with fate. I, Asteria, is the very embodiment of fate." She picked up a star from her dress and planted a soft kiss. "I shall return and you shall perish. Heed my words, for it has been woven in the threads of fate. The stars in the sky will tell the story, and we shall all return victorious." She opened her palm, and the star disappeared. A bright star appeared in the sky - notably the brightest star amongst all. "Alas, curse me. So I can join my beloved."

Everything went dark. The moment she awoke, she had no memories and was born as Xena.

Therefore, she is forbidden to use this, or she would definitely be punished by the Keeper of Time.

Love

For Xena, it was love at first sight. She was wandering in the woods when a ferocious beast spotted her. She couldn't fight, so she ran as fast as her feet could take her. A broken branch caused her to trip and fall to her knees. In that moment, she had accepted she was done for; she closed her eyes and screamed.

But nothing happened.

When she opened her eyes, the beast already laid dead on the ground. In front of her was a tall man dressed in armor, a broad sword in one hand. Her heart seemed to want to leap out of her chest, but she wasn't sure whether it was from the close death encounter, love, or both.

F A U R U S"He seems strong and capable. I know there's more to him beneath his cold demeanor.. Ah, I'm just curious, I suppose.."
Crush

It was a warm afternoon. Xena first met Khryian when he was wandering in the woods. He happened to stumble upon one of her secret meetings with Vadik. Without a single word, he had left like he hadn't seen anything. Xena was alarmed, but Vadik reassured her that he was a friend of his whom he trusted. He never said a word about their secret relationship, which she is grateful for to this day. He had piqued her interest ever since their first encounter, and she found herself wanting to know more about him; she believes there's more to him than meets the eye.

Rimguage was Xena's first friend. He protected her and took care of her like an older brother would his little sister. She would always look forward to their adventures together. Rimguage loved to take her out into the forest, much to her tribe's distress. He would stay with her and listen to her play her favorite instruments, and they would often exchange stories about their clans. Now all grown up, Xena still considers Rimguage to be her best friend. He knew everything there was to know about her, just as she knew him like the back of her hand.

 "Something about the other character is just really calming. When around that character, you find it easier to stay calm and concentrate."

When the hunters would gather to train, Xena would often watch them from a distance. Kenzie stood out from the rest--he was younger, faster, and highly skilled. She had always admired his skills in hunting and fighting. They've only exchanged a few words with eachother..

 S T A L A N A"The mysterious girl I met in the woods. I wonder what her name is?."
Acquaintances

Young Xena had finished reading a scroll about medicinal plants. Out of her curiosity, she went into the woods and began to search for the plants illustrated in the book. She ended up wandering deep into the forest where she met a girl who was gathering herbs. Their eyes met, but they never spoke.
