[indent][color=bc8dbf]A petite and delicate-looking young woman. Xena stands at 5’5, with the grace and posture of a queen. Her long, silver hair flows past her hips and ends in soft waves, it’s smoothness and luster giving off the impression that she spends a good amount of time grooming it. Her amber eyes appear almost golden in the warm rays of the sun, and her thick lashes frame her sharp, almond eyes perfectly.

She is usually seen wearing a light and breathy dress commonly worn by women in her tribe; a haltered white dress with soft ruffles around the neck. The back is left bare to show off their distinct tattoos, and the fabric of the skirt flows effortlessly around their legs. Each member of the Abaneki Tribe has their own unique tattoos carved into their backs, each with different meanings and intricate designs. Xena’s tattoo is that of a soaring eagle, signifying that she will soar and reach great heights. People of her tribe also wear masks that bear animal features to signify beauty, strength, and the hunt.

The mark of her curse are her eyes themselves. When she uses her abilities, her amber irises slowly fade to white until she completely loses her vision. The curse eventually eats up her brain and sucks the life-force out of her, eventually turning her to dust.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=bc8dbf]A charismatic young woman with a graceful and elegant bearing. Xena is soft-spoken and polite, often giving strangers a small smile or a simple nod as she walks past them. She has a calm demeanor and a strong sense of conviction which can be seen in her focused eyes. She doesn't like to be confrontational for any reason, but she is strongly opinionated and is not afraid to get involved in a battle of wits — mainly for her to expand her own knowledge and ideas. 

She has a love for knowledge and all things new. She deeply desires to travel and visit new places, meet new people, and experience new cultures. However, as the Chief's sole daughter, she has lived a sheltered life and for this reason, she spends most of her time reading as a way for her to learn more about the outside world. 

Xena always carries herself with grace and an air of regality. She is confident, intelligent, and well-spoken — the general traits you’d expect from a Chief’s daughter. Her capacity to love and see the good in everyone is both seen as a strength and weakness; she will repay cruelty with kindness and anger with calm. However, despite her gentle nature, she is far from shy or weak, and this is a quality that her fellow tribesmen respect her for.

One would initially believe that she is perfect. Maybe [i]too perfect.[/i] But this is a facade that she has carefully crafted in the last 18 years. Deep down, she does not know which parts of her are real and which ones were created to please her tribe. However, Xena is a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so you will rarely see her fret about actual and potential problems. She believes that everyone is at the mercy of their own fates.

[indent][color=bc8dbf]Xena is the sole daughter of the Abaneki tribe's chief. Her mother had passed away when she was young, leaving her in the care of her two protective older brothers. She grew up with the absence of hardships. People willingly did everything for her, despite it going against her wishes. Every day, she followed the same dull routine. Wake up early, groom your hair, practice the flute, and read the same books. The last 18 years have been facile and empty. 

Xena dreams of someday leaving the tribe and traveling the world. There was so much more to learn, and she wishes to expand the knowledge that she has not only through reading books. She wishes to see new faces, hear new languages, and experience other cultures. Most of all, she just wants to be free.

Women in her tribe don't have any real authority, and as the chief's daughter, she exists only for political marriages. She knows she has more to offer, however, her only role as the chief's daughter is to be a beautiful and cultured lady. Xena quietly disdains the reality that she will never be in a position to do anything worthwhile, and she wishes to be able to change these pre-established societal rules in her lifetime.

[hider=Abaneki]
The Abaneki Tribe is a prestigious tribe situated in the north east.  The village is surrounded by large trees, rare flowers, and various bodies of water. Its beauty is hidden away from the eyes of outsiders, and only those who know how to travel there can find it easily. For this reason—and the beautiful voices of the tribe—much superstition surrounds them.

The tribe is known for the beauty of its surroundings and the mysteries that surround it. The Abaneki Falls—their pride and sacred place of worship—is located in the heart of the village. The falls is a wonderful sight to behold and is said to be a place one must visit at least once in their lifetime. 

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 ancestors were sirens and beautiful sprites of the forest.

The women of the Abaneki tribe excel in arts and music. Men, on the other hand, are skilled at hunting and fighting—their swift tactics being second to none. In their tribe, it is a man’s job to fight, hunt, and protect. 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.

[indent][color=bc8dbf] Asteria is a goddess of short stature. She has long, beautiful, silver hair that falls to the ground. Her skin is pale and soft, bringing out her icy blue eyes and rosy lips. Asteria is known to take on two personas. One as the Goddess of Judgement, and the other as the Weaver of Fate. As The Judge, she appears to the souls of mortals clad in majestic armor which gleams bright, blinding those who do not deserve her mercy and sending them to their next lives with terrible fortune. As The Weaver, she wears a dark burgundy dress with an armored vest. However, she is rarely seen as she spends most of her time in The Island of Creation.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=bc8dbf]▶ Weaving the threads of fate
▶ Messing with time: In the past, Asteria would often mess with time in order to alter the fates of those she was in favor of. Because of this, the Keeper of Time came into being. The Elder Gods made sure that the other Gods would no longer be able to mess with the timeline for their own selfish needs.
▶ The song of the weaver. The melodies are of haunting beauty.
▶ Appearing to mortals as a fairy. Often as a premonition of death.
▶ Granting the wishes of those who sang songs of praises

[hider=Lore]
[b][u]Island of creation[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]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. [/color]

[b][u]Threads of Fate[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]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.[/color]

[b][u]Temple of Fates[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]Sacred temple located high on the Island of Creation. It is hidden in a sea of dark mist.[/color]

[b][u]Loom Chamber[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]Located deep within the Temple of Fates. This is the room where Asteria weaves the threads of life for all beings. [/color]

[b][u]Runes[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]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.[/color]

[b][u]Weaving of Fate[/u][/b]

[color=bc8bdf]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 done so that everyone can have an equal chance at gaining something good. This would normally be a random event. However, the weaver can draw out tokens that would increase the probability of an event occurring. 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.[/color]

[b][color=f49ac2][u]Asteria, The Weaver of Fate[/u][/color][/b]

"[color=f49ac2]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.[/color]" 

"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."

"[color=f49ac2]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.[/color]" 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. Even [i]you[/i] must not mess with time and fate. "

The Weaver chuckled softly as she saw a hint of fear in the God's eyes, masked with confidence and bitterness. "[color=f49ac2]I have no business with the past and the future. I simply trust that [i]fate[/i] will be on my side,[/color]" she replied with a distant look in her eyes, as if she was seeing something the dark god couldn't -- a vision, perhaps.

"Oh? Surely, you have not forgotten that fate will no longer exist when you are gone. The future will now rely on the choices of every creature born."

Asteria's lips curled up into a soft smile, one devoid of any malicious intent. "[color=f49ac2]Fate will never truly cease to exist as long as I am here. And I have faith in the choices we will make. Alas, curse me. So I can join my beloved.[/color]"

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

[color=f49ac2][b]Life Force[/b][/color]: [color=cccccc]0/0[/color]

▶[color=f49ac2][b]Illuminate: Weakest Ability[/b][/color]
[color=bc8dbf][i]Asteria has been known to grant the wishes of those who worshiped her and often took pity on the souls who were destined to live a life filled with bad fortune.[/i][/color]

[indent]
[color=f49ac2][b]•Make A Wish:[/b][/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria is able to grant any wish without any limitations. It will come true no matter what. In her mortal shell, Xena can only grant small wishes. Such as receiving a certain gift for their birthday, meeting a possible love interest, or winning the lottery.[/color]

[color=f49ac2][b]•Song of the weaver:[/b][/color][color=bc8dbf] The Weaver sings an enchanting song and any soul who happens to hear this melody will be granted better fortune (luck) in their next life. As Xena, the song can grant others a temporary buff in Luck which lasts for the next 12 hours.[/color]

[color=f49ac2]•[b]Fae Regenaration[/b]:[/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria has the ability transform herself into a fairy. A fairy sighting was usually a premonition of some sort, perhaps death. When Xena is in this form, it speeds up her ability to heal from any physical injury. [/color][/indent]

▶[color=f49ac2][b]Luminous Sphere: Moderate Ability[/b][/color]
[color=bc8dbf][i]The Goddess can look into the soul of mortals and see if they're fated to be good or evil.[/i][/color]

[indent]
[color=f49ac2]•[b] Probability manipulation[/b]:[/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria has the ability to shape and manipulate destiny. She can determine the outcome of battles/situations. To those she favors, she can change the odds in their favor and make their destiny brighter. As Xena, she can greatly increase the probability of an event occurring, though the outcome would largely depend on the choices made.[/color]

[color=f49ac2]•[b] Omniscience[/b]:[/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria has the ability to see the past, present, and future of every creature: mortal, beast, and God. She knows which actions one would take to achieve certain goals, as well as what the outcome of their actions would be. In her mortal shell, Xena is able see small fragments of someone's past and foresee possible futures and observe what may happen. Attempting to see more than she is able to will lead to her death.[/color]

[color=f49ac2]•[b]Judgement[/b]:[/color][color=bc8dbf] As the Goddess of Judgement, Asteria has the ability to determine whether someone is fated to be good or evil. She delivers her judgment at the end of someone's life and then determines their destiny in their next life. As Xena, she is able to invoke a blessing or curse upon someone. This enables the target to start off the next era with good fortune or bad fortune.[/color][/indent]

▶[color=f49ac2][b]Filomena: Strongest Ability[/b][/color]
[color=bc8dbf][i]Everyone is at the mercy of their fates.[/i][/color]

[indent]
[color=f49ac2]•[b] Causality manipulation:[/b][/color][color=bc8dbf] As the Weaver of Fate, Asteria has the ability to manipulate a mortal's lifespan. If she decided it was time to die, she had the ability to cut the thread of fate and end it. As Xena, she has the ability to curse someone to live a life filled with misfortune. They will most likely fail in most of their endeavors, fall ill, or constantly find themselves in dangerous situations. Death will always come knocking at their doorsteps.(e.g. decrease their chances of surviving a fatal wound, decrease their chances of escaping a dangerous situation, etc.) This grants a huge debuff in Luck which lasts until the user's death. [/color]

[color=f49ac2]•[b] Fate Deny[/b][/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria can deny the effects of fate. This allows her to revoke the effects of any pre-determined existence. As a mortal, she is not immune -- and can not grant someone the immunity -- to fate, but she is able to deny and delay its effects. (e.g. if someone was destined to die, they would be able to ignore that and live longer than they should.) This ability does not work if the cause of death was due to the curse.[/color]

[color=f49ac2]•[b] Rewrite:[/b][/color][color=bc8dbf] Asteria is able to completely rewrite a person's destiny. This ability allows her to change a person's story from birth to death, jumping back to their past or their future. However, there are exceptions when using this ability. One example: If a person dies because they were fated to, rewriting their fate will mess with the order of time and affect other threads of fate. Therefore, she is forbidden to use this as she could create dangerous paradoxes and possibly even erase her very own existence.[/color]
