strike a pose
FACE CLAIM: katie holmes
SKIN: peachy
EYES: hazel
HAIR: brown
SCARS: none
BODY TYPE: slender
CLOTHING: Psyche is use to the finer linens in life, haveing been a princess as a mortal, becoming a god's wife, and then becoming a goddess herself. Such clothes as chitons, himation, and peplos were common for her too wear unless official duties demanded a more formal wear. Psyche wears colorful clothings, although she prefers simple colors such lighter pastal colors. Psyche wears jewerly such as necklaces, rings, bracelets. Amongst her jewlery is a butterfly broch, a symbol mortals have associated with her.
OVERALL DESCRIPTION: As a mortal, her beauty and grace was said to rival that of the goddess Aphrodite, and it was enough to gain the goddess' attention and cause her a lot of trouble. Her almost chocolate colored hair falls just about the small of her back in deep waves, and a few curls that sneak in there some how. Her eyes are brillent coloring that makes up hazel. Her features are flawless, not a single blemish in sight, nor had there ever been. The only thing to her beauty she can claim is a beauty mark just below her right shoulder, and only she, her former nurse maid, and her husband know about that. Psyche's body is slender, and curved in all the right places. She is slightly below average height. She has what can only be described as pouty lips.
Something Psyche never liked about her looks would be her ears. She believes that they stick out a bit to much and are a bit too big. To try and hide this from others, Psyche would have her hair styled in ways to hide her ears. Psyche perfers to wear more homely colors rather than the viberant colors she would dawn on for her parents when ever a royal duty called for dressing up. Psyche has always enjoyed the rather simple things in fashion rather than wearing the most expensive, the kind of things meant to draw eyes upon her. As the goddess of the human soul her beauty stayed the same, although she did have a more godly glow about her.
After giving birth to her and Eros' daughter, Hedone, Psyche's body did just go back to being flat and tight. While she did lose the pregnancy fat, her body seemed to have a little more curves than before. She gained a few stretch marks that have faded in appearance thanks to a special cream, but did not completely disappear. Looking into her hazel eyes, one could tell just how much she was in love, and just how happy she is.
FEEL THE HEARTBEAT INSIDE ME,
let's get to know you better
PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Despite once being a princess, and then becoming a Goddess, Psyche is a sweet young lady who tends to look past what a person says and looks at if their actions speak the truth. Having grown up in the eyes of everyone, and being worshiped for her beauty, Psyche had become use to eyes always being on her, however this did not make her vain, but instead made her weary of majority of people. She did not enjoy knowing that she was beautiful, and that others were practically worshipping her beauty. It had bothered her that they would all but stop their worshipping of the Goddess of Beauty and Love.
Psyche is generally a forgiving person, however it really just depends on what has been done to her that needs her forgivness. For instance, she did not forgive her sisters for manipulating her, and in turn got revenge. She is not typically a revengful woman, however, as said before, it really just depends on the circumstances. she believes in learning by doing. One must experince something in order to lay claim to feeling it. Many times it takes Psyche the hard way to understand something, which she is rather content with.
She believes in all paths to the soul, and soul needs. She is of average intellegince over all, except when it comes to what she governs as a Goddess. She is unafraid to ask for help, or speak her mind. A very big part of who Psyche is, is her love for her husband, which had, and still has, brought many trails to her life. Including the trails of motherhood. Psyche is patient in all things, able to wait things out until the end. Psyche is a curious person, and it is her curiousity that tends to get her into the most trouble.

[+]LILIES
While she likes most flowers, she finds lilies to be very beautiful and very relaxing to gaze upon.
[+]PATIENCE
Without patience, there are many things in Psyche's life that she probably would have never been able to accomplish. She finds it to be a very useful virtue

When she teleports, millions of white butterflies flock around her, and a bright light looks like it is shinning off of Psyche, but is actually coming from the butterflies.

AND THE STORY BEGINS HERE,
it's still a long journey
SPOUSE/LOVER: Eros
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: married
FAMILY:
CHILDREN Hedone (daughter)
HISTORY: Psyche was once a mortal princess whom was worshipped for her beauty and grace. She was the youngest of three daughters. All three of the King of Sicily's daughters were attractive, however it was Psyche, the youngest, who drew the most attention to her beauty. Mortal men and woman would worship the princess's beauty, and because the other mortals began to worship the princess, the shrines that were in Aphrodite's name began to fall in ruin. Which undoubtably caught the eye of the Goddess of Love and Beauty, who was known for her vanity and jealousy of others beauty. Angry at this mortal woman whom others claimed to be more beautiful then she, Aphrodite had agrued with her son, Eros, to shoot the girl with a arrow and make her fall in love with the ugliest, most uncompatiable, man there was. For a bit, Eros denied his mother, but soon, he gave in.
Gathering his arrows, Eros went to Psyche's room late one night, invisiable to all mortals. However, upon looking at the sleeping princess, her beauty captivated him. It was then that Psyche opened her eyes, and while she couldn't see Eros, she looked him straight in the eyes. Unable to use his arrow against her, he accidently scratched himself with the arrow, and fell madly in love with the princess. He returned that night to inform his mother that he would not be able to do as she wished. Angry, Aphrodited cursed Psyche so that the princess would not make a match with anyone. Eros then pleaded with his mother, and soon the curse was lifted. However, Psyche was still unable to make a match.
The King and the Queen, Psyche's parents, were told to take their daughter to a mountain top, where a match would be presented there. They did so, leaving their daughter to await her future alone. Zephyrus swept her from where she stood and brought her to Eros, though he was hidden by the shadows of night. The two were married and enjoyed a long honeymoon, however that ended when Psyche desired to see her sisters. Upon warning her not to try and discover his appearance, no matter how her sisters tell her to try, Eros allowed Psyche to visit her sisters.
Her older sisters manipulated Psyche into believeing that she had married a beast. They convinced Psyche to take a oil lamp, and hide a knife beside her, and gaze upon her husband. At this time, Psyche had learned that she was pregnant. Later, as Eros slept, curiousity got the better of Psyche, who did as her sisters told her. She then discovered who her husband was, but he awoken and fled from their bed. Heart broken, Psyche sought revenge from her sisters, and convinced each that it was them that Eros had wanted to marry. Each of her two sisters then went to the rock and the west wind blew them to their deaths. DUring this time, Psyche then wondered to different Goddess' shrines before turning up at Aphrodites.
Aphrodite, angered, practically enslaved Psyche, giving the young girl four different tasks to accomplish. Each task was more impossible than the last. The first, she was to seperate grains before night rose to dawn. Ants helped her complete this task. The next task was to gather wool from golden sheep who were hositle, too she also recieved help. The third task was to feel a vessel with wather from Styx and Cocytus. A egal then helped her. It was the last task that proved the most difficult. She was to go to the underworld and bring back some of Persephone's beauty cream. Unable to resist, Psyche opened the box, and fell into the sleep of hades. It was then that Eros returned, and carefully removed the sleep from Psyche.
Eros then went to Zeus and plead his case to him. Zeus allowed the marriage, which forced Aphrodite to accept the match as well. A Marriage feast was then held in the couples honor. Soon after that, Psyche gave birth to Hedone.
THE REST IS STILL UNWRITTEN,
all these miscellaneous things
RP SAMPLE: Marlene glared into the flames that was contained in the fire place in the Slytherin common rooms. The heat coming from the fire licked Marlene's body. It was the only source of heat in the slytherin's common room, and thankfully she had it too herself. She sat in one of the room's many green, comfortable, chairs. Although the leather of the seat had been cool when she had first sat down, it had quickly heated up, which she was extremely thankful for, although she would never admit the weakness to anyone. Ever. Marlene brought her legs up, brought one up and tucked the other underneath her. Marlene then rested her head on her knee and all but sighed. Marlene took one more look down at the letter she had recieved from her mother before crumbling it up and tossing it into the fire. She watched as the letter started burning and soon was just a pile of ashes still in the middle of the fire.
Marlene was never more aware of the room's gloomy setting as she was that day. Her mother had given her the name of her future bride-groom. Kale Avery. Mister Head Boy, mister goody-two shoes in the form of a slytherin student. Marlene held no respect for the guy, but now her feelings towards him were boarder lineing hate. If only for the simply fact that her family seemed to think he was the perfect choice for a son-in-law. Anyone they liked, she simply did not. Well, for the most part anyways. Marlene closed her eyes and breathed in the smoke from the fire. It was an oddly relaxing scent, Marlene had discovered sometime during her first year at Hogwarts. Of course that was something else she would not admit to anyone, not ever. It was just another weakness that no one else needed to know. Anything that could be used against her, she kept to herself. Marlene was a pretty private person. There were few things that she let slipped, nothing too major, she didn't think.
She could feel her bangs moving, and so when they fell into her face, she was not surprised. Her hair had been placed into a ponytail that day. She had gone for a more relaxing feel that day than she normally would. Normally she was always dressed up, but today, she hadn't felt the urge to do anything other than just sit in front of the fire. And so she had, in her pj's, for most of the entire day. She had not even taken a break from sitting to grab lunch, which her stomach was trying to tell her was a bad idea. She could feel it starting to grumble in protest to her fast, but she ignored it. She was like the queen of ignoreing almost everything, and everyone. It was how she kept her calm at Hogwarts. If she hadn't ignored so many, she was sure there would be several more than several students burried six feet under by now.
While it was a well known fact that Marlene did not like those with muggle blood, most didn't know that she simply didn't like very many people, no matter what their blood status. And while she agreed with what Dumnezeu was doing, his goals, she was not apart of his group. She didn't even know if she had intentions of joining when she got out or not. The idea of being bossed around did not set well with her. She knew that most students believed she was apart of his Atrum Vis, which made many of them fear her, which in turn suited her very well. Some might say too well, she supposed. But all the same, it was the fear of the other students that gave her peace.
