The Basics
Name:Amphitrite
Age: Looks 20 - 25
Type: Goddess
Gender:Woman
Deity (if you want to play a non-Greek god): Greek
Powers: The Sea and everything concerning this element. She can also cal upon dolphins, her dear friends.
Title/Position: Goddess of the sea
Nationality: -
Occupation: -
Strike a Pose
Image of your character:
Celeb you're using:ALYSSA MILANO
Physical Appearance: She has long golden hair, like the sun rays which caress the ocean waves in the morning. Her beautiful salted hair makes her ever green eyes sparkle with something only divinities of the sea can have. Perhaps one of the things that captivated Poseidon himself. She has a delicate slender body, like most nereid do. But depending on the sun's position Amphitrite's beauty is exalted one way or another since the sun's rays never have the same color nor intensity depending on the time.
Feel the heartbeat
Personality Description: If one states that in Greek Mythology she was often considered the personification of the sea itself, then one can say her temperament is, also, like the sea itself. With this it means that she can be as sweet at honey itself, or as bitter and cruel as a tempest. Her beauty has a price and that is her never settled temperament, though she tries to master it her personality seems to have a mind of its own. Though she never harms anyone unless they look for it, she is also capable of loving to an extend few would ever expect.
Likes:Everything related to the sea and its creatures. She loves her home and those that cherish the sea. Nature and the sunset are some of her favourite things.
Dislikes:Anything that affects what she loves, like the sea, nature, those she favours. She dislikes Chaos and Discord, since both are personifications of disorder and lack of harmony. Infidelity.
Strength:Her main weapon or strength is the Sea, since sometimes her own name is seen as a personification of the sea itself. Therefore her personality and temper is her won strength.
Weaknesses: Her strong temperament as reckless as the sea itself, sometimes may drive her into doing things she should never do or simply hurting those close by without even realizing. The love for her husband can be considered one of her main weaknesses.
Story of my Life
Spouse/Lover:Poseidon
Marital status: Married
Family: Daughter of Nereus and Doris (and thus a Nereid), according to Hesiod's Theogony, but of Oceanus and Tethys (and thus an Oceanid), according to Apollodorus, who actually lists her among both the Nereids and the Oceanids. Others called her the personification of the sea itself.
History:
Her name is probably derived from the Greek words amphis and tris, "the surrounding third." Her son Tritôn was similarly named "of the third." Clearly "the third" is the sea, although the reason for the term is obscure. Her Roman equivalent was Salacia, whose name means "the salty one."
She was the goddess queen of the sea, the wife of King Poseidon. Some say she was one of the fifty Nereides, others an Okeanis, but most simply describe her as the female personification of the sea: the loud-moaning mother of fish, seals and dolphins. As such she was essentially the same as Thalassa. When Poseidon first sought Amphitrite's hand in marriage, she fled his advances, and hid herself away near Atlas in the Ocean stream at the far ends of the earth. The dolphin-god Delphin eventually tracked her down and persuaded her to return to wed the sea-king.
Amphitrite was depicted in Greek vase painting as a young woman, often raising her hand in a pinching gesture. Sometimes she was shown holding a fish. In mosaic art the goddess usually rides beside her husband in a chariot drawn by fish-tailed horses or hippokampoi. Sometimes her hair is enclosed with a net and her brow adorned with a pair of crab-claw "horns".
