axollo: high school gods (insp. @okayodysseus) name: aphrodite likes: neoclassical ballet, keeping up with fashion trends, aggravating artemis, match-making, feminist rallies, the feeling of bare skin on silk sheets, the look of disbelief upon realising a pretty face ≠ unintelligent. dislikes: her ‘boyfriend’, the bratty freshman who loves eros a bit too much, athena spoiling her fun when she messes around with boys, zeus’ straying, artemis’ inability to loosen up, a lack of appreciation of dance favourites: MAC’s ‘dangerously chic’ ultimate lipstick, drugstore makeup sales, Robert Joffrey’s Astarte, Ares’ latest motorbike Out of the twelve (arguably fifteen but Hades, his girlfriend, Persephone, and Hestia tend to dip in and out) Aphrodite is undoubtedly the most unlikely member of the little group; unlike the others, she has little in common with anyone else in their crowd. However, one thing that she has in common with the others is the fact that people nervous about her nervously. Between her looks and temper, and that story of what she did to poor Psyche (everyone knows, and it took two weeks for that news to finally get boring), she’s like a goddess in the midst of mortals waiting to lay fruit on her alter, but are too afraid to near the statue. Ares doesn’t seem to help, though the two don’t really seem interested in one another until, well, they do. Oh, and the hearts she’s broken, to begin to discuss those would mean we’d here for eternity, and who has that long? She’d never tell the names of the boys she’s actually cared for, but trust me, it’s a far smaller list. Who could be surprised with that silver tongue - that’s another trait she shares with most of the twelve, one that could lead you off a bridge with the way her voice lowers and softens, and don’t everyone’s eyes dilate at the sound of that. She’s a tricky one - you really shouldn’t believe anything you hear or see when it comes to her (but, yes, she is ‘dating’ Hephaestus so her parents don’t realise she’s actually date Ares - that rumour is true). -- source link
