[color=FFA4A4][sub][b]Personality:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent] Outgoing ➸ Flirty ➸ Motherly ➸ Intelligent ➸ Vengeful ➸ Charismatic ➸ Emotionally Guarded 

Outgoing, flirtatious, and witty, it's no wonder why Avery is able to make friends as quickly as she does. With her peers Avery is down to earth, loyal, a shoulder to lean on, and realistic. With her students the woman is patient, kind, inventive, and humorous; Avery's students describe her classes as fun and engaging. Overall, she tries to see the best in people, leading her to sometimes give them more chances than they deserve. A long life has made her thirst for knowledge - some may even say curious. Confident, determined and well educated, Avery stops at nothing to get what she wants. 

Motherly and affectionate, Avery is always there for her people. She has a strong moral code, and hates anything that threatens that. While she does her best to be a good person, vengeance is something that comes a little too easy to the woman. She loves people, but chooses to not let many get close. Avery is a friend to all, but very few actually know her.

[color=FFA4A4][sub][b]History:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]
➸ Avery was born to a Museum Director in New Orleans, Louisiana. Toby Pierce had nearly forgotten about the woman who he had a fling with nearly a year ago until she showed up on his door step, a new baby - his baby - in tow. The conversation that happened that night still remains a mystery to Avery. All she knows is that her father did his best in those first few years of her life. 
➸ Toby did his best to make sure that the house was always clean, that there was an abundance of food on the table, and that there were always random items to keep Averys ever growing mind stimulated. One more than one occasion, Avery would travel with her father from museum to museum, learning about the various pieces that they held within them. 
➸ Avery was always close with her Aunt Mindy from California. It was the summer before Avery turned seven when she went to live with her Aunt in New Rome. Both Mindy and Toby had noticed the strange signs and happenings surrounding Avery in her younger years, since Mindy was a child of Ceres herself. 
➸ Life in New Rome was like a dream for the little girl. Mindy continued to let Avery visit with her father on and off through the years until Avery was ready to join the Legion. They took vacations to random landmarks around the US, and occasional vacations outside the border to Italy, England, and France. Avery began to make friends, and learn the basics about the Romans and their traditions. 
➸ Upon entering the Legion, Avery was assigned to the second cohort. She remained her for her whole twelve years in the Legion, assisting with battle plans and whatnot unofficially when needed. Avery was a dutiful warrior, earning a promotion to Centurion after a quest in her sixth year of service. Avery remained Centurion of the Second Cohort until she completed her time in the Legion. 
➸ When it came time to retire from the Legion, Avery was honestly torn on what to do. She loved her fellow Legionaries. She loved battle. She loved [i]Rome.[/i] Even still, something deep down inside of Avery knew that she could do more good for the Legion if she worked from the outside. It was this train of thought that prompted Avery to retire to New Rome and begin studying for her dual Bachelors of History and Education. 
➸ When Mindy died a few days before graduation, Avery became co-owner of the local farmers market, and sole owner of the family Vineyard.
➸ Upon completing her Degree at the age of twenty-four, Avery was quickly hired as a professor at New Rome University. It was after nailing this job that Avery chose to run for Legion Senate, and was elected. Avery has been elected for Senate for the last five years. 
➸ Three years ago, Avery decided to partner with the local farmers market and a few other local vendors to open up her own Italian-American Bistro, [i]Paradiso[/i]. So far the place has been a smash hit with the locals of New Rome. 
➸ Avery now spends her days bustling around New Rome, going wherever she is needed. She dreams of consistently making New Rome a better place, and perhaps one day having a family of her own.

[color=FFA4A4][sub][b]Godly Parent:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Minerva: Goddess of wisdom, poetry, medicine, intellect, commerce, weaving and crafts.[/indent]
[color=FFA4A4][sub][b]Relationship to Godly Parent:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]Minerva and Avery are actually quite close, with Avery looking at the goddess as sort of a distant Aunt. Toby confided Avery's parentage in Mindy years ago. Mindy chose to use this information, and make sure that Avery met Minerva shortly before her time to join the Legion. Since then, Avery has seen her godly mother on and off in New Rome for years. [/indent]
[color=FFA4A4][b][sub]Abilities Pertaining to Godly Parent:[/sub][/b][/color]
[indent][list][*][i][color=FFA4A4]Languages[/color][/i]: Being a child of Minerva, learning a second language is almost as easy as breathing for Avery. Through the years she has become fluent in: English, Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, Hindi, French, Modern Greek, Arabic and American Sign Language.
[*][i][color=FFA4A4]Total Recall:[/color][/i] The ability to recall anything that she has ever seen or heard, perfectly. If you ask Avery what someone said, she can tell you the exact verbiage in their exact tone, in their near exact voice. If she looks at a map for a few seconds, she can draw it perfectly hours, days, or even years later. 
[*][i][color=FFA4A4]Weapon Proficiency:[/color][/i] Children of Minerva are capable of coming in contact with an item and immediately know exactly how to use that item and what that item is for.
[*][i][color=FFA4A4]Future Insight: [/color][/i] Aver can strongly anticipate - not forsee - future events and make strategic decisions that consider the broader context. (Think a *much* weaker version of 'The Force' from Star Wars). 
[*][i][color=FFA4A4]Animal Familiar:[/color][/i] As a child of Minerva, Avery is able to bond with Owls to an odd amount. When bonded with whatever pet owl she has at the time, Avery can temporarily possess said owl for spying purposes and what not. This leaves her mortal body extremely vulnerable. [/list]

[color=FFA4A4][sub][b]Legacy Abilities:[/b][/sub][/color]
[indent]
[list][*][color=FFA4A4][i]Poison In The Well:[/i][/color] Avery has the ability to know when food (natural, processed and cooked) and water sources have been tampered with. 
[*][color=FFA4A4][i]Earths Daughter:[/i][/color] Where Avery walks, grass seems a little greener and flowers seem to grow a little faster. Avery has the ability to make plants grow at superhuman rates, or cause them to shrivel up and die. The young woman also has the ability to use the plants around her for defensive and offensive measures. Avery can telepathically gather leaves to throw at you, cause a branch to whack you on the back of the head, or cause the grass to grow rapidly and wrap around your ankles.

He is currently eight years old, and has been trained to have excellent recall. Magus is a people watcher - not a people liker. Please do not try to touch Magus unless you know him well. He likes to wonder around New Rome sometimes.

Don't forget about the rotating gnocchi  specials, or their minestrone soup in the fall. Even though she spent months trying to come up with an awesome name, people seem to default to calling the place "Avery's Bistro".
