Iphigenia, of Southtip Village
(a.k.a. 'Genie')
Extremely skilled with the bow for her age, as well as her hand axe, Iphigenia is the star pupil of the local priest of Heracles, Kadmos. She is the only daughter in her family of seven children; and she is constantly at odds with her parents, who dislike her boyish hobbies and talents and would have preferred a "nice" girl they could marry to the son of the Zarakis family. She spends a lot of time in the forest,and has made friends with several members of the Satyr troupe that lives there, the leader of which has taught her a little music in addition to how to make better traps for hares and other small animals.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Five years of practice and use of a hunting bow has left her with great upper-body strength, and plenty of time spent in the forest has left her with a sure-step whenever she travels there. She isn't the fastest person; and isn't used to chasing or running from things due to not going after larger prey on her mentor's orders.
Special abilities
Iphigenia is a skilled archer, and is also strong and skilled enough to use one of Kadmos war bows.
Apparel & Accessories
Iphigenia carries her bow and a quiver of arrows everywhere she goes in the village to flout her parent's disapproval with her choice of profession. While hunting she will often wear fur or hide clothes that she has rubbed scent cancelling oils onto.
Mental characteristics
Education
Iphigenia is a natural with the bow, and has been trained in its use since she first sneaked into the temple to Hades when she was eight. In the five years since she has been allowed to go into the forest and hunt by her mentor Kadmos whenever she liked, as long as other hunters were in the woods. She has learned a lot about the plants and animals of the forest from the Satyr, who quickly grew friendly to her because of her honest nature.
Morality & Philosophy
Iphigenia wants to become not just a hunter, but a Hero who protects her village from monsters. She is very conscientious about the farmers under her guard being hurt whenever she is assigned guard duty in the fields by Kadmos.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
Iphigenia wants to become a Hero, a hunter of monsters; regardless of the wishes of her parents and brothers who all want her to learn to be a more 'demure' girl in order to woo the oldest son of the Zarakis family. 'Genie,' for her part, is not interested in romance and only wants to continue getting better with her archery, while trying to convince Kadmos to teach her how to fight, properly, with an axe.
