Name: Althea Asterius
Age: 19
Race: Kritian
Gender: Female
Avatar: Diane Kruger
Appearance: Althea is tall at 5'9", slender, with eyes that seem to shift between gray and green. Her lips are full, her cheekbones high, her hair thick and long, the color of pale honey, hanging down to the middle of her back, though she generally wears it braided or otherwise pinned up. Where many of her family are dark, Althea is fair, considered quite beautiful among her family.
History: Althea is a scion of House Minos, the ruling family in Kriti. Her father was the only son of Lysithea and Timanthes, elder brother to Medousa Asterius. Her father, Aemon, married the daughter of Demetrios, Ileana. Althea was the third born child of the union, having two elder brothers. Like her aunt, Medousa, there was something different about her, something unsettling. Though she never did develop the powers of the oracle, her mother still saw fit to send her to study with Medousa when she was 15 and Medousa 21. The two grew close, though when Althea was 18 she went back home to her family. And there she would have likely stayed, waiting to make a state marriage most like, had not Medousa called for her to come back to her. Upon her arrival, she was surprised to see that Medousa had given birth to twins by a D'Angeline prince, and that danger surrounded them. Althea took up the task of helping to protect the children, bringing them to Terre d'Ange where they might be better protected by their father. During the long journey she studied her D'Angeline until it was flawless, and learned to protect herself and the children if need be. Though the trip be long and arduous, she is determined to see her infant cousins safely to their father.
