- she becomes easily jealous
- she overreacts without a second thought
- she's a rather vengeful woman...but what goddess isn't?

FULL PERSONALITY//
Hera is known as the vindictive goddess. Several of her siblings and family members have also been described as such, but she takes it to a whole new level. She feels wronged by many things that Zeus has partaken in and acts quickly without any concern of the consequences.
She is petty, shallow and vain, aware of her weaknesses but not willing to change them or hide them. Hera is fiery, passionate and isn't afraid of wronging her family because she knows that they have wronged her just as much. To her, it is all a very intricate game; one that she is determined to win.
In a position of power, Hera is also majestic. When she is acting as the queen of the gods, she attempts to be fair and classy, but this all disappears when she's insulted and wronged.[/color][/font]

FULL HISTORY//
Hera was born to Cronus and Rhea, the leading Titans of their time. Her siblings included Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Demeter and Hestia. Like most of her brothers and sisters, Hera was swallowed by her father (in an attempt to prevent his being overthrown). She was not released until Rhea and Gaia tricked Cronus into regurgitating the five swallowed deities. After which Zeus banished Cronus to Tartarus and allowed the Olympians to rule over the heavens, seas and earth.
As King and Queen of the gods, Hera and Zeus ruled together but not without their problems. Zeus had been known for his adulterous trysts and Hera easily became jealous whenever such trysts came to her knowledge. For example, Hera was jealous of Zeus' fathering of Athena and decided to have a child of her own. Unfortunately, that child was Hephaestus and she rejected him, tossing him from Mount Olympus. Their relationship was somewhat less strained when she arranged him to marry Aphrodite.
Other stories of her famed jealousy involve Hera's cursing of a nymph named Echo by forcing her to repeat the words of others, and banning Leto from giving birth to Artemis and Apollo on solid land. During the Trojan War, Hera sided with the Greeks after Paris claimed that Aphrodite was fairer than she.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE//
Felicity couldn't believe it. She'd spent her entire life, and a majority of her paycheck, to look as different from everyone else as she could. So on her second day at Primrose Hills High ever, she had been forced into a pair of white gym short and an ugly green Primrose High sports shirt. Gym uniform. Fantastic.
Flick was to be in the left wing of the sports centre for squash. Like indoor tennis but even more dangerous. Oh how she hated sports. Unfortunately, as a new student, she had gotten lost. Again. Pushing open a rather heavy door, Flick moved quickly into the hall that the door led to. Nope. Pool.
She turned around to make it out of the pool hall before the door closed, but just as she spun around, it slammed shut and clicked locked. Oh shit. Felicity tried the door but it wouldn't open. Aw crap. Well...maybe. Perhaps she could use it as an excuse to skip out on tennis. Oh the possibilities.
Hello?
Flick spun on her heel and found a half naked somebody bobbing in the pool water. A cute half naked somebody. For a school full of genetically modified freaks and people who hated them, there sure were plenty of good looking people.
"Oh, hi," She called out, but flinched when her words echoed through the hall. "Um, do you know how to unlock the door?"
