Personality: Aphrodisia embodies her name beautifully - sensual, elegant, and royal. Aphrodisia turns heads wherever she goes - physically gorgeous, she also has a very powerful, radiant presence when she walks into a room. Aphrodisia is vastly intelligent, with a cool demeanor to back it up. Aphrodisia knows she is beautiful, she knows she is intelligent, but she isn't arrogant or cocky. She uses it to her advantage, absolutely, but she does not rely on it. A bit cold when it comes to business deals, pack deals, and professional settings, that coolness can carry over into her personal life. Quite coy and flirtatious, Aphrodisia most certainly plays hard to get. Sensual in her personal relationships, and often acting more intimate with someone regardless of how well she knows them, she can be quite disarming in that regard. Always relaxed and comfortable, regardless of the situation she is in, it's incredibly hard to ruffle her feathers, or get big reactions out of her. Quick on her feet, Aphrodisia is able to pivot at a moment's notice. The kind of woman with plans inside of plans inside of plans, she's ready for whatever is thrown her way. Quite protective of her people, and quite devoted to them, she is a fierce defender of her title, her territory, and her pack, despite their smaller size. Willing to take on the world for what she believes in, Aphrodisia will never back down from a fight or a challenge. She loves a challenge. At times antagonistic - though perhaps that is too strong a word, though she does enjoy riling people - Aphrodisia is utterly cool and confident. She likes to watch people, too - learn their weakness, strengths, likes, dislikes, anything to ruffle them or get them on her side. Loyal to those she believes deserves it, she is a woman of her word. Her word is her bond, and to break that would be deeply dishonorable. A very honorable and noble person, she has her own moral code and compass to be followed. To disrupt her sense of morality is to fall on her bad side. Being on her bad side earns total and complete silence and unacknowledgement on her part - she does this to lovers, friends, family, advisors, it doesn't matter. You have to crawl your way back into her good graces. To be in her good graces is like being touched by the gods - at least as far as her pack in concerned. Inspiring utter devotion in her people, messing with her means dealing with her pack, too, whether she sends them after you or not. Regal and elegant, she is hard to ignore.

Likes: her pack (her pride, as she calls them), loyalty, devotion, antagonistic flirting, challenges, academic conversation/debate, intelligence, honor

Dislikes: going back on her word, dishonor, stupidity, distrust/breaking trust, non-confidence, insecurity

Power: shifts into a lynx (looks above); heightened senses, strength, speed, durability, and reflexes while in human form

Backstory: Aphrodisia is from Cyprus, born and raised, moving to the United States when she was 18 when she was named heir. Back home, everyone knew she'd be named heir when she was 18, she was the favorite. She knew this, so she grew up preparing for it. Deeply knowledgeable about the United States packs, covens, rogues, and history, Aphrodisia knows more about them than most of them know about one another. Deeply respectful of the Original Six, she is equally as respectful of anyone who displays true power and political prowess, even if they were to be her enemies. Aphrodisia respects intelligence, she respects traditions (even if she doesn't agree with them), and she respects power. Even her enemies get her respect, sometimes more so than her allies. When she moved to the states, she started getting to know her pack. Integrating among them easily, it didn't take long for her to earn their trust, loyalty, and devotion. Named heir by the former king - man from the Pappas royal line, and good friends with her father - Aphrodisia fell into her role perfectly. When he stepped down two years ago, to return to his family in Athens, Aphrodisia stepped up to the plate. Ready to go, she'd made gradual changes to the pack - like the fact that the pack is opening to werecats looking for a community rather than the typically rogue lifestyle they lead. Though this proclamation was made, it was sent out via 'feelers' and the news is getting around purely by word of mouth among the werecat rogue community. She's also slowly moving the pack into the political sphere. Though not yet gaining large traction, some packs are becoming more aware of the political powerhouse that is Aphrodisia. Taking meetings and traveling to other packs to meet with Alpha's and pack rulers, her name is slowly making it out to the big players in the werewolf packs. On Crimson River's radar, as well as Redwood's, Aphrodisia has yet to cement any alliances with any pack, though some trade agreements have been met with other smaller packs. Building up friends and allies among the smaller packs first, she does have her eyes set on the larger, more powerful packs. A patient woman, she will not rush them into the spotlight. Aware of the some of the prejudices against werecats, and also aware not all werewolves know werecats actually exist, Aphrodisia is prepared for any negative resistance they may receive. Ready to put their pack and her name on the map, Aphrodisia is a woman to keep your eye on.

She has the same basic training her pack is required to go through, and she practices at least once a week so she isn't rusty
