My name is Valentina Demetriou. I am a Greek God. Sort of. You probably haven't heard of me before, but that's alright; demi-gods aren't all that popular if they were born after the year 1000 A.D. I was shaped from water and have similar abilities as Cupid. Only I'm just affection, not love. He can have all that complicated mumbo jumbo.
I'm not exactly all that "Godly" compared in appearance really. I have wavy brown hair to mid-back like my mother's, only it has lavender highlights in it to help clarify my ability. I have lavender eyes that are rimmed with cobalt blue, but I've been told they change to a deep violet when I am really mad. I have a tattoo of two hearts, side by side, with waves on either side on my right shoulder. It's more like a birthmark than a tatoo though; I was born with it. My sisters and I all have birthmarks that look like tattoos, and because being demi-goddesses they have color. It also meant my sisters and I had to wear long sleeves all through elementary and middle school so we wouldn't give our teachers heart attacks. Gym class really sucked for this exact reason.
One of my sisters is Seraphina, and she has wavy bleached blonde hair that's to die for. She was formed from wind and has the ability to manipulate memory. She's the tallest of us at about 5'6, and she's basically your typical cheerleader. Perfect legs, perfect hair, perfect teeth, perfect everything. She's not a complete "prep" though, and for that I am eternally grateful. She has a tattoo of a dandelion with some seeds blown off by the wind and the seeds turning into birds, and the words 'This too shall pass' next to the stem, on her right shoulder blade.
The smallest of our trio is Phoenix at 5'3, she was shaped from the element fire and can inflict heat on others or heal them with her tears. Once she has matured, she will have the ability to turn into an actual Phoenix, but that shouldn't be for a long time now. She's pale with long wavy fire red hair that always seems to be in perfectly controlled ringlets that goes to her mid-back and striking blue eyes. I swear this girl has never had a bad hair day or bedhead in her life. She has a tattoo of a black and red phoenix with its wings outstretched on her left shoulder.
We are the triplets born to Gaia, better known as Mother Nature, however to mortals or non-godbloods she's Terra. We technically don't have a father, and we're technically not full goddesses. We're demigods, half-human half-god. We can still die, but not like mortals. Seraphina can live a couple thousand years I can keep living as long as nothing kills me, and Phoenix? Well, as her namesake suggests, she just dies over and over again. Due to being half-humans we have to play the part. Which means going to high school.
