| Bio: | Brenna Maeve Ni Doherty she smiles like a child with flowers in her hair // with blood on her hands into the sun she stares  O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-ey'd monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE, Othello [Myth Basics] Deity Name: Eris Other Names: Έρις. Discordia. Lady of Sorrow. Lady Strife. Role/Function: Goddess of Strife, Discord, Chaos, Contention and Rivalry Powers: Creating conflicts, deceit, manipulation and general trouble making Objects and Familiars: Golden Apple, chariot Parents: Zeus and Hera Siblings: Ares (twin), Hephaestus, Hebe, Ilithyia and many, many half siblings Spouse: None Children: Enyalios (by Ares) and Ate (by Zeus) as well as Ponos, Lethe, Limos, The Algea, The Hysminai, The Makhai, The Phonoi, The Androktasiai, The Neikea, The Pseudologoi, The Amphilogiai, Dysnomia and Horkos [Mortal] Name: Brenna Maeve Ni Doherty Date of Birth: May 23, 1982 Nationality: Irish; Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland Social Class: Middle Parents: Niamh and Anton O'Doherty Siblings: None Significant Other/Spouse: None Children: None Overall Health: In good health. Exercises daily - running, mostly - though she does drink and smoke but neither of those vices have made a physical impact yet. Education: Completed A-levels but did not attend University Career: Office clerk/secretary for a practice of marital therapists [Aesthetics] Deity Height: Around 5' in times of peace; "straddle the earth so her head touches the heavens" when in battle Weight/Build: Slight and sickly Hair: Dark with little shine, dry and frizzy Eyes: Gray and dead Skin/Other: Sallow Description: Small and unassuming, Eris in her goddess form does not possess the ethereal beauty of her divine kin. She doesn't glow or sparkle or radiate power. In fact, her dark hair with bloodied ribbons and dim, gray eyes enhance her already pale skin, giving the woman a sickly, sallow appearance, not unlike the images created by countless cultures of wraiths and reapers. Dark hued garments - blacks and grays, mostly - hang loosely from her nearly skeletal figure with her only accessory being a Golden Apple, plucked from her mother's tree that she carries about. However, in times of conflict, Eris feeds on the darker emotions and as the argument (or battle) grows, so does she. Sometimes to monstrous proportions. Of course, as tempers wane, the goddess also returns to her true size. The ability to create a false skin for means of disguise is quite handy when it comes to causing trouble with mortals but less than effective with the other Olympians. Mortal Height: 5'9" or 175cm Weight/Build: Slender with a runner's build Hair: Medium brunette, long with a wave to it. Eyes: Green Skin/Other: Fair Description: Brenna's body is much more pleasing. Midnight curls hang about her shoulders; framing high cheek bones, green eyes and slightly pouty lips. Flesh, while still pale, carries a healthy rose to it. She stands about 5'9" with the tight and slender frame of a runner and while still not as glamorous as her relations, Eris isn't the spectre she once was. [Psychological] Personality: Not surprisingly, Eris is a rather unpopular individual. She is bitter, sarcastic and above all, antagonistic. There isn't a button she won't push to start a fight, however her tactics range from blatant instigation to more subtle manipulation. A grade 'A' bitch, this sadistic goddess personifies schadenfreude. While Eris adores bloodshed, she is more generally known for the less deadly forms of conflict; political strife, marital discord, personal contention, rivalry and wrangling. However, when the tides of war swell, Eris doesn't hesitate to ride into battle on the back of Ares' chariot, often times with their son, Enyalios at hand. In mortal form, the girl is much more subdued. An observer of people who takes comfort in the fact that those around her are just as screwed up as (if not more than) she is, though her tongue is as quick to wound as ever. She has few acquaintances and even fewer friends - by choice. No one has ever been able to capture her attention and hold it long enough to make an impression. Besides, if they had, she knows it would only end badly for the both of them. Extravert/Introvert: Introvert Sensing/Intuition: Intuition Thinking/Feeling: Thinking Judging/Perceiving: Judging [Relations] Deity Friends: Ares. Zelus. Enyalios. Her nephews Phobos and Deimos aren't bad, either... Hephaestus, when he's not whining about Aphrodite. Enemies: No real enemies, just a lot of people she doesn't get along with. Most notibly: Harmonia, Hebe, Ilithyia, Athena and the rest of her sisters but her hatred of Aphrodite probably comes closest to enemy status. Romantic Status: Single Significant Other: She's devoted herself to Ares. Sexual Preference: Bisexual; sex is just another tool with which to cause trouble Present Interests: Ares, always. Past Relationships: A constant companion of Ares, their relationship turns physically Likes: Very few of the gods. Blood. Knives. Swords. Riding into Battle. Ares. Causing trouble. Golden Apples. Dislikes: Most of her female relatives. Being ignored. Mortal Friends: A few scattered here and there. Mostly there. Enemies: None that she knows of... Romantic Status: Single and not looking. Significant Other: None Sexual Preference: Bisexual Present Interests: None, really, except maybe a good roll here or there Past Relationships: Shane Murphy took her virginity when she was 16 and drunk. Since then, everything has crashed and burned when it came to romantic relationships. Likes: The dark and mysterious. Books. Watching people fight. Slasher films. Heavy metal. Dark colors. Being alone. Dislikes: Assholes. Nightmares. Romantic comedies. Blonde bimbos. [Biographical] Myth: Daughter of Zeus and Hera - though, she has a habit of lying, claiming her parents to be Nyx and Erebos, instead - Eris is the twin sister of Ares, whom she adores. He is her world and she is always pleased to provide him a skirmish or two among nations for his enjoyment. Her relationship with her parents is slightly strained; daddy dearest has other kiddies to waste his time and attention on and Hera, well, Eris has done fair share to earn her mother's wrath over the centuries, though she serves them both without complaint. Once, a couple, Polytekhnos and Aedon, claimed to love each other more than Hera and Zeus did. This angered Hera, so Eris was sent to rain discord upon them. While Polytekhnos was finishing off a chariot board, and Aedon a web she had been weaving, Eris called out, "Whosoever finishes thine task last shall have to present the other with a female servant!" Aedon won. Displeased, Polytekhnos came to Khelidon, Aedon's sister, and raped her before disguising the girl as a slave and presenting her to Aedon. When Aedon discovered this was indeed her sister, she dismembered Polytekhnos' son and fed him the boy’s body. The gods were greatly displeased and thus, turned both into birds. Eris, for her part, merely laughed delightedly. Eris' favorite past time consists of sneaking the Garden of the Hesperides, Hera's orchard in the east, where immortality-giving golden apples grow. At first, Ladon, the hundred-headed dragon who safe-guarded fruit, proved to be too much of an obstacle to overcome but through persistence (and with the aid of some very large steaks) it has become a game for both of them. And, of course, there was that misunderstanding about not being invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis... Ares' lover, her smart-ass half sister and her own mother had all failed in mentioning the affair to Eris, so in her eyes, there were just as guilty as the bride and groom. Knowing the three women well, the goddess took one of the golden apples and inscribing 'for the fairest' on it, tossed it into the crowd then waited for the chaos. The fact that her revenge spawned a little skirmish known as the Trojan War was merely the icing on the cake. War: Being her twin's shadow, Eris knew well the grumblings of dissension. And fully supported them.. It was during this time that she and her mother mended ways, bonding over Zeus' lack of attention. While not very talented in the ways of planning, Eris was helpful, however, in planting the seeds of unhappiness and discord in some of the other gods' minds. For Eris, there was no need for persuasion. She sided, as always, with her brother Ares. The usurpation was glorious, however, when all was finished, there was no way for the goddess to hide her participation from Rhea as she'd grown to enormous proportions from feeding off the strife and conflict. Mortal: Where Brenna went, trouble followed. Or so it always seemed. From her birth, her parents, Niamh and Anton O'Dohery were always fighting. What to name the baby. What the darling should wear. What she should eat, where she should sleep, when she should take her naps... The child clearly wasn't at fault, but she was most definitely the cause. And so she continued to be until the arguing escalated and the couple separated when Brenna was ten; each clinging to another adult figure in the girl's life (a teacher and a football coach) as they ran in opposite directions from each other and in turn, nearly pulled their only child apart. And so Brenna's foundations were formed. Shaky, yes, but they supported her well enough in the time it took her to complete A-levels (no University for her, thank you) then strike out on her own. What she found was a world full of people built by the same heavenly architect. Husbands and wives who cheated. Brothers who stole and fought and killed. Friends who lied and back-stabbed. No one was trustworthy. And while Brenna didn't particularly enjoy it, she did find comfort in the fact that she wasn't alone. So much so, that she took a job as an assistant in a counseling office that specialized in couple's therapy.
