HISTORY:
Naiades was born in Santorini, Greece, to strict, reactionary parents who were members of the Golden Dawn party. When Syriza took power in 2015, they moved to the U.S. and became avid supporters of Trump and his MAGA movement. Between her father and her three elder brothers, she grew up in an environment of extreme masculine supremacy.
Though she was raised with the expectation that her role in life was to become an obedient wife and mother, she was nonetheless provided with a Classical education so that she could merit a man of quality. However, her father insisted that Christ must be "Lord" over any interest she might have or subject she might study. She was not allowed to read or watch fiction that was not explicitly Christian. Likewise, her access to music was limited to Classical, instrumental, or Christian music.
Naiades was homeschooled through primary and middle school. For her secondary schooling, she was sent to an exclusive Greek Orthodox private boarding school called St. Chrysostom Preparatory Academy. Though she excelled in her classwork, she was an easy target for cruelty from students and teachers alike.
Science and mathematics were a refuge for her; their truths were not subject to popular whim, and they offered endless realms for exploration where she could go and few could follow. Naiades took every opportunity to sneak away to libraries, museums, or solitude in nature where she could learn without restriction.
After graduation, she was supposed to go to Liberty University, where she could meet a sufficiently devout and theologically orthodox Christian man and become a proper Tradwife. Desperate to avoid this outcome, Naiades applied for scholarships and colleges in secret, resorting to carefully forged parental signatures when necessary. When she got accepted to SFU and acquired sufficient scholarships and grants to attend, she ditched the bus that was meant to take her to Liberty at the first stop, and bought a ticket for one bound for San Francisco.
Due to a bureaucratic snafu, her dorm assignment was double-booked. Luckily, her admissions administrator was able to offer her a billet in one of two Greek houses at the last minute. KID House, with its slogan "Vices = Fun!" was not a fraternity/sorority she would have wanted to join in a million years. But the only alternative was a Christian House, which was sure to represent everything she was coming to SFU to escape from. So, with great trepidation, she chose Kappa Iota Delta. With any luck, the popular party kids there would consider her beneath their notice, especially if she made the effort to remain quiet and invisible...right?
EXTRA:
Knows Classical Greek, Latin, and some Aramaic
Fears being a burden to others, and will suffer serious hardship rather than ask for help
Keeps a journal, but writes it in Classical Greek using a cipher alphabet of her own invention
"Never let them see what makes you happy, because they'll take it from you."
"Never let them see what makes you cry, because they'll do it to you."
Loves costumes (Halloween, renaissance fair, etc.), but won't dress up unless she can wear a mask and remain anonymous
Wishes she could have a pet pangolin
Has never been to a party, or on a date
Her father is a far-right intellectual in the vein of Julius Evola and Alexander Dugin, and has a modest following as a social media influencer
Nibbles at her hair or any available dangly bits (ribbons, etc.) when she is nervous
She can draw a virtually perfect circle without a compass
Never uses cuss words
She can quote the Bible and the Church Fathers in the original Greek (Hebrew Scriptures from the Septuagint) given sufficient need
