Aphrodite

Aphrodite (formely known as Aviva Luna-Harrison) is the eldest daughter of Deja Luna and Ebony Harrison, and the elder sister of Wisteria Luna-Harrison. Due to being brainwashed by the Council, Aphrodite wasn't aware of the fact that she was a Luna-Harrison for many years, until she ran away from her adoptive father. She hangs around the bars of New York most of the time, being a shrewd, blunt individual.

Appearance
Standing at 183cm (6 '' 0), this olive-skinned woman has a very seductive and intelligent, worldly feel about her. A particularly notable feature of Aphrodite's is her dazzling smile. She has prominent, hooded, azure-blue eyes, an upturned nose, rosy cheeks that are usually covered with a pinky-red blush, and round lips that are usually coloured in deep red. She has very silky and well-kept, straight, mid-back length chocolate-brown hair, usually worn down or tied up in a ponytail. Aphrodite really likes wearing warm, autumnal colours and goes for a flashy look. She also has a love of belts and the colour brown. Aphrodite enjoys wearing eccentric, low-cut dresses that can catch people's attention. She also prefers rich colors and leans toward a playful look.

Personality
Aphrodite used to be a very shy, introverted young girl with a pure heart of gold, before her kidnapping and eventual brainwashing. Her sensitivity was often taken for granted and she was, and still is very adaptable to new situations and different places. She is very dignified, charming and elegant. She used to be very easily influenced, an example of this trait was her successful brainwashing and being a Council weapon.

Growing up with her adoptive father, however, Aphrodite learned several martial arts skills and techniques, making her a very strong person, perfect for the Council's physical demands. Aphrodite is very blunt towards others, and incredibly shrewd. She has a very strong god-complex, due to her good looks, and impenetrable charm. She calls her old self, 'a silly little girl'. She's very flirty and is very seductive, especially around strangers during her times in the bars. Aphrodite is a person with a very unique, and strong sense of humour, spreading it like a disease, making others laugh along with her.

Aphrodite is very good at keeping her composure and is generally very taunting to other people. She doesn't believe that she has a human heart, but that of a monster. Her behaviour towards others makes her dislikable to most, but nonetheless people try to make friends with her, and often "succeed". But instead its all part of Aphrodite's mind tricks and feeding information to the Council that she deems important and necessary for them to know. Despite her extroverted, loud-mouth personality, Aphrodite is secretely very fearful and usually hides her emotions, making her look unemotional in any given situation. Her biggest fear is losing everyone else that she has in her life, just as she had lost her biological family. She constantly doubts herself, knowing that Aphrodite will soon be dead, and Aviva shall rise once again in her glory.

Because of being a chemically-altered human, Aphrodite's personality changes very much when triggered by something, especially a battle. She comes off as crazy, no longer having any sense of right and wrong and transforms into a ruthless killer. Aphrodite doesn't remember whenever she goes into this state, but her friend, Cyrus, always reminds her of what she does on the battlefield - scaring Aphrodite.

History
Aviva Luna-Harrison was magically born to spellcaster Deja Luna and vampire Ebony Harrison. Deja did the spell a little wrong, as Aviva came out human, unlike her little sister, Wisteria Luna-Harrison one year later. She had a very happy early childhood apart from her mother, Ebony's death when she was three years old. Aviva had a joyous relationship with all of her biological family, particularly her little sister, Wisteria.

When she was around 13 years old, Aviva was captured by the Council due to the long line of powerful Luna clan witches. After a few trials, they realised that Aviva was only a human being, and not a witch, realising that they had captured the wrong Luna-Harrison child. Instead of throwing her away or killing her, they chose to make the young girl useful to them after a lot of frustration. After all of those experiments, Aviva was no longer an average human, but was more chemically altered, giving her more strength and changing her eye colour at times, even changing her personality. Aviva was cellmates with Feyre Everin, whom she considered a close friend. When Feyre managed to escape, she was slightly upset by her being left alone, but at the same time was glad that her friend would be happier without the torture and pain.

The council started to brainwash Aviva and in the end, they were successful. She forgot about her past identity as a girl from the Luna clan, and was given the name Aphrodite, after the Greek Goddess of love and beauty. Aphrodite also forgot about the trials and what the Council did to her, truly being turned into their little weapon - the Aphrodite incarnate. They also then put the young girl up for bidding and a Rainer Delarosa, a rich and powerful man connected to the Council paid the high price for her. She was then raised as his daughter and was known as Aphrodite Delarosa, Rainer's pride and joy. Aphrodite was taught to grow stronger through honing her as nothing but a weapon to the Council in the future, and started working as one when she was eighteen years old, to the pride of Rainer. She was finally their little weapon at last.

One night, while training and arguing with her father, Aphrodite had enough and left him, despite his promise to tell her the truth and begging her to stay. He also told her that he suddenly missed the girl she used to be. But Aphrodite didn't listen, and slowly, her memories of the trials, the torture and her biological family returned to her. She remembered what her mother, Deja told her about the family connection, and used it to check on her family. The several deaths and mistreatment devastated Aphrodite, who wanted to return to her rightful home. One night at the bar, Aphrodite met Aaron Grimsbane, and got along very well with him. However, once he asked Aphrodite to become his woman, Aphrodite rejected Aaron immediately while taking a punch from her. This occurence has been repeated several times with the same results, until a few years later after their meeting, Aphrodite declaring that she had her eyes on somebody else. They never saw each other again after Aphrodite's declaration.

She still remained Aphrodite and stayed as a Council weapon, despite her slight anti-Council views. She continued to hang around the bars of New York City and has a bad reputation for it, gaining the nickname 'The Lady from the Bar' due to her frequencies around bars.

Roleplay Story
Aphrodite was only mentioned a few times by Wisteria, but didn't really have much of an impact originally.

One day, her biological cousin, Bethany entered the bar she was in and the two struck up a conversation. Aphrodite enjoyed winding Beth up, and slowly realised that Beth was her baby cousin that she only saw once before her capture. She insulted Beth and called her 'Little Cousin' to see how long Beth would last. To her surprise, and joy, Beth appeared to be very mentally strong. Beth didn't believe her about being her cousin. Aphrodite isn't seen again, for the moment.

Abilities
Despite being a human, unlike the rest of her biological spellcaster family and even her adoptive spellcaster father, Aphrodite never let that trait stop her from what she wanted to do in life.

Martial Arts - Rainer taught Aphrodite many martial arts skills and techniques that eventually became very useful to the woman. She excels in hand-to-hand combat as well.

Manipulation - Working as a Council weapon meant that Aphrodite is extremely talented at manipulation and making others spill their guts out.

Use of basic tools - Aphrodite is very good at using basic, day-to-day items like broomsticks and random sticks. Aphrodite still has a tool, a polearm, that she calls "Psyche".

Rainer Delarosa
Rainer Delarosa used to be Aphrodite's adoptive father. The two of them shared a very close relationship, despite Aphrodite's resentment towards him for forcing her to train with him very often. Rainer called Aphrodite his 'Pride and Joy', and he still does today. Aphrodite regrets not saying goodbye to him properly though, despite all the lies. She considers him a decent parent. Despite not having to love Aphrodite, Rainer grew to love the girl as if she was his own biological child. Rainer still begs Aphrodite to forgive him for what he done, and what he told her for so many years, promising that if she trusts and forgives him, he'll tell her everything. Aphrodite, refuses to listen to him, however, only trusting her own judgement and memories about her past.

Deja Luna
Deja was Aphrodite's biological mother, and they were very close and shared a very trustful relationship. Deja was devastated when her little girl was captured and failed to get her back. They never saw each other again, but Aphrodite still remembers Deja and her words with comfort and serenity, giving her much-needed strength.

Feyre Everin
Aphrodite and Feyre met during the trials, and grew to be quite close. Aphrodite helped Feyre escape, and was quite sad to see her go, but she understood the reasons why she had to leave. Feyre called her, 'Via', a nickname which stuck to Aphrodite and was one of the only parts of her old identity that she had left.

Cyrus Heartfire
Aphrodite met Cyrus when they were children, as her adopted father, Rainer, was close friends with Cyrus's adopted father, Soren Heartfire. Neither Aphrodite, nor Cyrus knew that both of them were in fact brainwashed and abducted from their biological families, Cyrus originally being a powerful Spellcaster from the Krauss Clan. They grew up to become Council weapons together, thus forming a bond of friendship, trust and care. They were each other's rock for many years, and moved out together when they were 20 years old. They fought in many battles together, and faced many issues together. They were friends with benefits, but never became more than that. Cyrus is now the only person to call Aphrodite, 'Via', the only nickname from her childhood that came from Aviva that Aphrodite remembers. They are willing to do anything for each other, and always help the other in need. Despite Aphrodite seeming like she never experiences any type of emotions, the only time that she can be her true herself is whenever she is with Cyrus.

Wisteria Luna-Harrison
Aphrodite was quite close to her little sister during her childhood and they enjoyed hanging out together, particularly to eat ice cream together and tell each other their deepest, darkest secrets about themselves. They had a very close bond, like the bond of Devon Vann and Bethany Vann, their cousins. Wisteria was devastated by the capture of Aphrodite and drove her into a deep melancholy. Aphrodite also thought that Wisteria was dead, but she survived for a few more years, until she was murdered by Aphrodite's old friend, Feyre Everin. Aphrodite wants to avenge her little sister.
