[quote][sup][color=#eaa9d3]As the goddess of childbirth, Hera oversaw the birth of most children, mortal and divine. In her mortal form, Hera is still very much a fertility goddess, able to sense the pregnancies of nearby mortals and gods alike. She has no control over the fate of the child, but she is something better than an ultrasound. Her gift allows her to determine sex, parentage, even health.[/color][/sup][/quote][/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]

[hider=♤][indent][color=#eaa9d3][sup]Hera's life before the fall is a famously tragic tale. Swallowed by her father only moments after birth, she grew up in darkness, with the earliest of Olympians. She remembers little about that time, save the blinding light that came to save them from imprisonment. That, she will never forget, not even when her skin and bones have crumbled into ashes and rejoined the silt of creation.

When Zeus freed his siblings from his father's stomach, he enlisted them in his war against the Titans. He took Hera as his queen, a marriage before a war. By his side, Hera slew countless foes. The war raged on, the land torn asunder, and still she fought. She fought for her new husband, and the children he would grant her. She fought for the splendor he would lay at her feet and the throne that he had promised her. Hera's prowess in battle was oft forgotten by the likes of Homer, but it was prevalent nonetheless. She was an Olympian, after all. 

When the Titans lay broken at the feet of their usurpers, Hera rejoiced with the others, and cradled the empty womb, sure to bear the Prince of Olympus. Only, Hera's child was not the first to be born. Zeus sired three children, one with Metis, two with Leto, before deigning to lay with the woman he'd married. This was only the first of many slights. Hera was forced to watch as Zeus paraded his dalliances across Olympus. She became known for her rage, and Zeus? He became known for his power. It sickened her. Watching him reap the benefits of her work. It was she who tended the divine court, she who wore the crown of a queen. Yet, her son received scorn, while Zeus' bastards were lauded with accolades and power. Wise Athena, Golden Apollo, Shining Artemis. The ever present thorns in her side.

Of course, it was not enough for Zeus to simply humiliate her. She could live with humiliation, if it meant that Ares would one day get the position he was owed. When she heard of Zagreus, the unnatural spawn of Life and Death, she was appalled. Zeus had promised the boy a marriage, and a throne, a throne that was her son's [i]by right.[/i] This would not stand. She met with Leto, away from the watchful eyes of her brethren, and together, they hatched a plan. United by their hatred of this usurper, the two women led him on a wild goose chase, into the maw of Tartarus. Her only regret was that she needed Leto's help to make it happen.

She had plans for Olympus, for Zeus. With Zagreus gone, only Athena and Apollo seemed to present worthy threats to her son's inheritance. Artemis was unconcerned with the power plays of her family, but Athena would claim it, simply to vex Ares, and Apollo was a glutton for spectacle. He would not easily turn his head at a crown. No matter. These two were simply obstacles to be removed. And they might have been, had the world not suddenly crashed in all around her, crushing any hopes she had of redemption.

[hider=♤][indent][color=#eaa9d3][sup]What does a queen do without her throne, her crown, or her subjects? Hera had never been forced to ask the question before, but in the wake of Apocalypse, she found herself desperate for an answer. Strong as she was, she had never been...alone. Not once. If she was not accompanied by one of the Olympians, then her handmaids trailed behind her and served at her beck and call. Now, cut off from her power, she had nothing, nothing except her family.

Maybe it was hope, or maybe it was old habits, but she tried and failed to make Zeus an honest man. Mortaldom had not changed him much, it seemed. Failing with her husband, Hera turned to her children, rotating amongst Ares, Hephaestus, Eileithia, and Hebe. Some enjoyed her more than others, though none could say that Hera had nothing to offer. Overbearing as she was, her mortal life gave her more time to devote to their wellbeing, and their ambitions only benefitted from her continued attention. Far from Olympus, she still fancied herself a kingmaker.

The occasional desire for independence surfaced sometime in their third century on Earth, a nagging whisper in her head. She followed it, out into the world, and found that being alone was not quite so frightening as it had been. She did not need Zeus, or her crown, to prove her worth. The mortals saw it, painted across every inch of her. She was regality incarnate, and where she walked, they practically begged to serve her. When Hera wasn't advising one of her children, or meddling in their lives, she found herself hosted in the courts of kings, an enigmatic woman of mysterious origins, paying her way with secrets and whispers. 

She went on like this for centuries it seemed, the picture of the middle class divorcee, centuries before it would be so in vogue. Loathe as she is to admit it, Artemis was the inspiration for the next phase of her mortal life. Her affinity with the savage girls she collected gave the queen an idea. The mortals clearly needed saving, uplifting, and Artemis certainly wasn't doing them any favors. So it was, as the world prepared for a second war Helena Albrecht arrived on the streets of London, a matronly but stern governess, and the headmistress of Albrecht School For Girls. It was a surprisingly apt role for the former queen, and she grew to think of the girls left in her care as her own children. She did not teach them archery or espionage like Artemis. Rather, she taught them etiquette, literature and poetry, with a healthy dose of statecraft, for every woman must know how to rule, even if her kingdom is just four walls.

Then the bombs came. In an instant, the Fall returned for her, and her world was torn asunder. She choked on fire and ash, awash in chaos. When she awoke, she was alone, in the ruins of her school. Her children were gone, and with them, her good will. Hera had been scorned for the last time.

She grew colder, if that was even possible. Her walls became bulwarks, and whatever glimmer of mercy that shone inside died with the girls of the Albrecht School. Hera sharpened her edges in America, as a businesswoman, as a small town politician, even as a crime boss. Seattle has witnessed this queen reborn in the form of Marilyn Montgomery, suave and sophisticated socialite, stunningly effective divorce attorney, and ruthless social climber. Rumor has it that Marilyn has eyes on the mayor's seat, but the truth is, Hera has much bigger plans in mind.
