Personal History/Myth:
In Greek mythology, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, beauty and sexual rapture. According to Hesiod, she was born when Uranus (the father of the gods) was castrated by his son Cronus. Cronus threw the severed genitals into the ocean which began to churn and foam about them. From the aphros ("sea foam") arose Aphrodite, and the sea carried her to either Cyprus or Cythera. Hence she is often referred to as Kypris and Cytherea. Homer calls her a daughter of Zeus and Dione.

After her birth, Zeus was afraid that the gods would fight over Aphrodite's hand in marriage so he married her off to the smith god Hephaestus, the steadiest of the gods. He could hardly believe his good luck and used all his skills to make the most lavish jewels for her. He made her a girdle of finely wrought gold and wove magic into the filigree work. That was not very wise of him, for when she wore her magic girdle no one could resist her, and she was all too irresistible already. She loved gaiety and glamour and was not at all pleased at being the wife of sooty, hard-working Hephaestus.

Aphrodite loved and was loved by many gods and mortals. Among her mortal lovers, the most famous was perhaps Adonis. Some of her sons are Eros, Anteros, Hymenaios and Aeneas (with her Trojan lover Anchises). She is accompanied by the Graces.

Her festival is the Aphrodisiac which was celebrated in various centers of Greece and especially in Athens and Corinth. Her priestesses were not prostitutes but women who represented the goddess and sexual intercourse with them was considered just one of the methods of worship. Aphrodite was originally an old-Asian goddess, similar to the Mesopotamian Ishtar and the Syro-Palestinian goddess Ashtart. Her attributes are a.o. the dolphin, the dove, the swan, the pomegranate and the lime tree.

Age:
16

Birthday:
December 4

Year:
Junior

Job:
None.


Physical
Appearance:
Alianne is basically a very plain girl. She has wavy auburn hair, which falls to her shoulders. She is fairly concerned about the way that her hair is and is usually trying to figure out the way that it looks best. Her eyes, which are naturally a light sky blue, usually sparkle when she’s happy and glisten when she’s angry or upset. Her blue eyes can also be seen as a pale green sometimes, depending on her moods.

Alianne has a fairly girly build, though she does have some athletic ability, such as for softball and figure skating. She is a medium height, about 5’6”, though she isn’t short, as she used to be when she was younger. When she was about 15, she had her teeth fixed, making them perfectly straight. Her teeth, the straightest they ever were, also are pearly white, due to some of the wizard dentists she went to.

Mental
Personality:
Alianne doesn’t have a preference to a ton of things, though she does like to try her best and always succeed, something that may or may not happen. She’s persistent, to say the least. You can hardly ever find her giving up, and when she does, it must be horrible. Never one to let people push her around, Alianne stands up for what she believes in and her friends, even if some of her friends don’t treat her the way that they should sometimes. She’s one to stand up and fight for what she thinks is right, but sometimes that brings more trouble than it should.

She’s kind, caring, and basically, she’ll do anything for most people, as long as they’re nice to her in return. She goes out of her way to make sure that everyone is happy around her, though she might feel horrible herself. She likes to look out for others, though most of the time she doesn’t look out for herself enough.

Despite what others think, Alianne is adventurous, sweet, and a definate flirt. Though she doesn't have any problem letting it show, she is a flirt, who adores all of the boys in her classes. She is always up to meet new people, though with some she can be shy. She is friends with many people, no matter what they think of her. Alianne is always up for an adventure, big or small. Though she doesn’t let this show sometimes, she loves to be in adventures and even avoid trouble. She got this trait mostly from her father, since he was always getting into trouble. She is trouble-prone, but always manages to avoid it. She is also giggly and girly, depending on her mood.

Sample RP:
{This is from a Hogwarts site where I play Kelandry, a Gryffindor.}
Kelandry sighed as she walked around the grounds, her mind wandering. She really didn’t want to be at Hogwarts, but she had no choice anywho. As she wandered the grounds, she knew that she should be inside, getting ready to go to bed, as it was getting a bit dark, though it was still easier to see outside than it was in the dark corridors, due to a beautiful moon that was sitting above the lake. As she walked, she let her thoughts stray to Roald, one of her best friends in the world, though she hadn’t talked to him for over a year. And that entire year, she had attempted to get rid of her feelings, though it hadn’t done anything but make them grow even more. She sighed even more for a moment, then pondered where she could go for the moment. With a light sigh, she decided to go down and sit by the lake, even though she wasn’t sure that she wanted to be there for the moment. She walked down to the edge of the lake, though she was sure that no one was there, though she didn’t see the person that exited the school and slowly began to head her way.

Kelandry frowned slightly and remembered the time that she saw the Drumstrang ship. She hadn’t liked the sight of it arriving the day before, as it reminded her of Roald. Roald Krum to be exact. He had been her special someone for a long time, though they ended up breaking up, him with her, because he needed to concentrate on his schoolwork or something like that. It had torn Kelandry apart, though she tried not to let it show. She didn’t need to be reminded of that, but as she headed in the general direction of the castle, the ship came into view, floating at the edge of the Black Lake. She had to keep herself from tearing up, as she remembered that fateful day. It had been horrible as he broke up with her, though he did it as gently as he knew how. She was heartbroken, as she forgot about everything for at least a week, not even coming out of her room at her home that summer. Kelandry didn’t think that she could survive without him, but she managed it for an entire year, though her thoughts strayed to him at least once a day, wishing that they were together and on better terms. Then again, she didn’t know if they’d ever be the same again, as she had defiantly changed in the year that the couple had been apart. Kelandry had no idea if he was attending Hogwarts for the year or if he had been withdrawn to be privately taught at his home in Bulgaria. She knew that Allyson, Roald’s twin sister, was here at the school, but she didn’t have any idea about Roald himself.

The time that they had been given to meet some of their new housemates had been only for the Hogwarts students and the Beauxbatons girls, even though she wasn’t sure that she had wanted to attend that either. In the end, she had gone, much to the appreciation of the rest of the girls and Headmistress, since she was known as one of the leaders of the school, or at least in her year. She was one of the brightest students in her year, probably the brightest, though she wasn’t too keen on letting that show, as she was more the person to try to lay low, even if it wouldn’t work out in the end. She missed Roald, to put it simply, though she didn’t know if he would bother to talk to her after the year that they had spent apart. With a light sigh, she leaned against an oak tree at the edge of the lake, only being brought out of her thoughts as she heard a familiar voice speak to her, as if he was standing right next her.
