Second poll for my book. I want to get a couple of points of views of multiple women on each side of the conflict.

[moplopbool]

Hecuba and her daughters(+in law)!

[babyrdie]

how about trojans? i don't think you've ever posted a art with them

Details:

I'm obviously not drawing everyone here. There are a lot of people!

Hecuba and Priam are both in designs where they definitely weren't young newly adults, but they also aren't elderly like they should have been in the Trojan War. The reason is that then I would have to draw them with white hair and that would prevent me from properly seeing who pulled who. So here are Hecuba and Priam definitely pre-Iliad.

Too lazy to draw feet.

Hector

He's the firstborn son of a shocking number of children, so I'm going to let the guy have at least a few frown lines alone, because this man must have frowned a lot throughout his life. In this house, we give AT LEAST an eternal frown!

I imagine him being the same height as Patroclus and Achilles because the three of them wear the same armor. Now you might say “but Birdie, that physique is CLEARLY bigger than the other two” and I agree! My excuse for this is that there's a part that says Zeus changed Achilles' armor when Hector put it on, and I always figured that was about the width. Reason: Achilles is a warrior focused on speed, so I don't imagine him being the width of a refrigerator, so to speak, and on the other hand Hector and Big Ajax seem to be somewhat similar in fighting style, so I think Hector and Achilles had a difference in size in subject width. I also made him quite tan because he was one of the main warriors.

So he decreed and the son of Cronus bowed his craggy dark brows. fitted the armor tightly on Hector's body and Ares surged in his heart with awesome force, filling his limbs with power and fighting strength.

The Iliad, XVII, 240-244. Tranlstion by Robert Fagles.

Hecuba

Hecuba has more than one attributed father, but I decided to go with the Phrygian king Dymas, described in The Iliad as Hecuba's father.

[...] Asius, an uncle of stallion-breaking Hector, a blood brother of Hecuba, son of Dymas who lived in Phrygia near Sangarius' rapids. [...]

The Iliad, XVI, 837-839. Translation by Robert Fagles.

I won't lie to you: I was unsure about how to draw her. Phrygians are a very uncertain people in terms of information, and this definitely didn't help make the whole thing easier since I was following the version where Hecuba is Phrygian. I have researched for a long time, and yet the Phrygians remain a very obscure people. And I couldn't draw Paris and Laodice before her because I wanted them to look specifically like her, so my delay was holding those two back. After much consideration, I decided to simply go with these two (both late) descriptions of Hecuba:

Hecuba: dark, good eyes, full grown, good nose, beautiful, generous, talkative, calm.

Chronography, 5.106, by the byzantine Ionnis Malalas. Translation by Brady Kiesling.

Hecuba was beautiful, her figure large, her complexion dark. She thought like a man and was pious and just.

Dares Phrygius, 12, uncertain author. Translation by R.M Frazer.

I also wanted to make Hecuba beautiful. Not only because she' s usually described that way, but also because there are myths in which she's Apollo's lover. I think that to have attracted Apollo Hecuba must have been really beautiful, as well as calm and thoughtful. And it's precisely because I wanted to follow the idea of Hecuba being beautiful that I wanted to make Paris (generally described as one of the most beautiful Trojans in myths in general) and Laodice (described as the most beautiful daughter of Priam by Homer) take after her.

[...] Afterwards Hecuba bore sons [...] and Troilus: this last she is said to have had by Apollo.

Library, 5.12.5, by Pseudo-Apollodorus. Translation by J.G Frazer.

Deiphobus

Honestly, I don't have much to say. He's a typical warrior and looks more like Priam. And yes, it's on purpose to make him look like my Menelaus (although there's a chance I might redesign Menelaus).

Laodice

Laodice is described as Priam's most beautiful daughter, which is why I made her look like Hecuba. Among the princes and princesses, she's the most physically similar to Paris, as he's also one of the most beautiful and also looks like Hecuba. She's not a very prominent character in mythology, but I don't know… there's something about her that interests me, so I put some effort into trying to make her design look good.

[...] looking for all the world like Hector's sister wed to Antenor's son, Helicaon's bride Laodice, the loveliest daughter Priam ever bred.

The Iliad, III, 147-149. Translation by Robert Fagles.

And there at the palace Hector's mother met her son, that warm, goodhearted woman, going in with Laodice, the loveliest daughter Hecuba ever bred.

The Iliad, VI, 298-300. Translation by Robert Fagles.

I like to think that she partially understands Helen, knowing what it's like to have so much attention that it's negative because of her appearance, but in the end she's not really close to her (I'm going with the versions where Hector and Priam are the only ones who treat Helen really well. I don't think Laodice was the type to be actively mean to her, just the type to avoid interaction).

Priam

Priam actually participated in wars, so don't think I made him smaller because he's horrible at fighting. He simply has these genetics and, at the specific age I chose for him here, he's already at least around fifty years old. Additionally, I made his eyes look like a golden honey as a reference to Apollo, because of the god's association with knowledge. I could have made it gray in reference to Athena's wisdom, but I don't think it would fit. And yeah, specifically Polyxena, Helenus and Cassandra having this eye color was on purpose!

Paris

He takes after his mother Hecuba, and is beautiful like her. He is usually portrayed in antiquity as blond, but I REALLY wanted to make him look like my Hecuba, and if I followed that description, he would look like my Priam. So that's why I'm taking creative liberty here, but know that I KNOW he was usually blonde. I must be honest in admitting that my Paris is also very slightly inspired by Enrique Simonet's, because El Juicio de Paris was one of the first paintings referring to Greek mythology that I saw and that's why it left a strong impression on me. Even from the back he looks really handsome, so yes, I'll be using it for inspiration even though it's definitely not an ancient Greek source.

Normally Paris is drawn without any muscle and I understand why! In myths he's often considered effeminate, and he's sometimes reputed to be weak. BUT I personally can't see him being like that, and I think it would be perfectly possible to balance a slightly more feminine appearance with an athletic physique (I did this with my Achilles, after all). And now I'm going to do a kind of dissertation on why my Paris's physique is like this, even though you, dear anon, didn't ask!

Archery itself doesn't need to change the physique exceptionally, and you can see this by analyzing photos of Olympian archers (they, at most, have athletic arms). I literally even know someone who does archery and they don't have a Green Arrow-esque physique. Generally, archers with more developed physiques are those who use very heavy bows, as they require greater strength from the muscles used to pull and release the string, and who place some additional effort in other physical activities besides archery (for example , bodybuilding). In other words, Paris being a good archer wouldn't necessarily make him have to be super muscular, although it could give him good arms (and back, I imagine).

There is another however. Paris is a prince, but he wasn't raised like a prince. The opposite, actually! He was raised by a commoner shepherd, and I really doubt that Paris spent days of his life lying around just eating grapes given to him, he certainly did some physical work. I tried to imagine more of a farmer vibe, because they're the type of people who do manual work every day. If you notice, being a farmer doesn't necessarily make you an aspiring bodybuilder, but in many cases it makes you stronger. Even in cases of farmers who have a pot belly, you've probably seen one who had at least some semi-impressive biceps. In other words, Paris doing manual labor doesn't necessarily make him Big Ajax, but it really gets in the way of the image of him being like my Helenus.

Polyxena

Polyxena is mainly remembered for being a kind of Trojan Iphigenia, in the sense that the Greeks at a certain point are in one place because the wind is paralyzed by a greater force and this greater force will only allow them to go to their goal with the sacrifice of a young virgin, who is portrayed as courageously accepting her sacrifice. She also plays an important role in the later versions of the myths regarding Achilles' death, taking advantage of his passion for her to deceive him in order to lead him to his death (I say later because in fact it is later. The older versions didn't include Polyxena having that role). Despite being a later version, I based her intelligence on the versions where she plays a role in Achilles' death and gave her more knowing eyes.

Interestingly, I found her described as tall in two versions (Malalas and whoever wrote Dares' account. Though it's interesting that one specified black for her hair and the other said blonde and in response, I did it...brown), but I really wish Laodice's height was more detachable, so here my Polyxena isn't tall. Although described as tall in both versions, both versions find a way to say that something about her is small (in one, her feet. In other, her fingers), so I made her physique more similar to Priam's genetics than to Hecuba's.

Helenus

Helenus is Cassandra's twin brother and is capable of prophesying like her. While they are not identical twins, they look very similar. Even though he also didn't believe in Cassandra like everyone else, I like to think they were still close. Helenus purposely avoids cutting his hair so that they look even more alike and as children they could be a pain in Hector's ass for swapping places with the intention of tricking their older brother. The myths don't tend to highlight him for any athletic or warrior ability, but more for his prophetic or intellectual ability, so I really didn't make a point of giving him muscles (I know he fights in the Iliad, I just don't think it's the most interesting part of him. Let's face it, no one remembers him because he picked up a spear or a bow or something like that, people remember him because he prophesied). Helenus looks a lot like his father Priam, who is short and has a thin physique genetics. The reason he seems more “brilliant” than Cassandra is precisely because the difference in treatment given to the two certainly affects the way they live and think. Suffice to say, Helenus is less anxious and frustrated.

Cassandra

I want to make something clear right away, because I've seen a similar misunderstanding happen before: my Cassandra isn't thin because she isn't well fed in Troy. She's a princess and a prophetess, she IS well fed. She just has a really thin physique, just look at Helenus and Polyxena. I like to make characters look different from each other, and I noticed that, with the exception of Penelope (who I didn't even post in full body), I was lacking in female characters that were very uncurvy. So here's Cassandra.

She's Helenus's twin sister, although they aren't identical twins. However, they're still similar! They both mainly take after their father Priam, and the reason I specifically chose blonde for them is because I had the interpretation that Cassandra was blonde when I read The Iliad. They actually have the same eye color, I just prefer to make Cassandra's look darker because there is a difference between the treatment given to the two. Helenus's prophecies are believed, which allows him to be a more hopeful and calm person. Cassandra isn't believed and is often seen as crazy (just look at the treatment given to her in Alexandra and The Trojan Women, for example), which makes her seem less like she's smiling 24 hours a day and more like she's constantly frustrated.

Cassandra is indeed pretty, but I didn't try to exaggerate her too much because I don't want to give her the vibe of untouchable beauty. I think Cassandra's emotional aspect is infinitely more interesting, and I tried to convey that in the design. I like this kind of complicated relationship with Apollo, in which she's bitter for Apollo having cursed her (as seen in The Oresteia) and at the same time admires him as her god (as seen in The Trojan Women). She feels frustrated by feeling helpless, knowing that she can't do anything to stop what's going to happen. The reason she has dark circles under her eyes is because, honestly, I can't imagine being her without eventually developing anxiety. And one of the characteristics of anxiety is precisely these piles of terrifying thoughts about the future that absolutely prevent you from getting a decent sleep. In this specific drawing I didn't draw nails, but I imagine she bites them too.

[tototavros]

omg I finally figured out why the mithridatic wars weren't just some random jockeying between tiny Turkish kingdoms

you have laodice, daughter of mithridates v of pontus, who weds ariarthes of cappadocia, who then gets couped by nicomedes of bithynia and laodice marries him and nicomedes' son by another mother, nicomedes (of bithynia) becomes the enemy of the son of mithirdates v of pontus, mithridates vi (of pontus).

[chilly-weirdo-in-a-tomb]

Honestly that’s so much better than the name I came up with while trying to write a Nova au fic.

In the Novaverse, her full name is Gideonastasia Navagraha. She was originally given the name Gideon Nav, but when she was officially adopted, both her names were expanded to reflect her station.

Navagraha is a term from Vedic astrology, referring to the nine celestial bodies (not planets). It doesn't share an arithmonym with either of her parents to reflect her outsider status. This is even further reinforced by the fact that it's four syllables, while most Reverand Family second names are 5 or 7 syllables. It's a name that says, "You are very special and important, but we could still replace you if a better option came around."

Gideonastasia is one of those double-barreled names. The suffix, referencing founder Anastasia, is staking claim on her as a member of the Ninth. She absolutely hates it and has been known to lock herself in her room for a week if someone uses her full name instead of just Gideon.

Painted Scylla Statues Found in Turkey

Excavations in ancient Laodicea have revealed a rare collection of painted Scylla statues.

Laodicea was an Ancient Greek city on the river Lycus, located in the present-day Denizli Province, Turkey.

The city was founded between 261-253 BC by Antiochus II Theos, king of the Seleucid Empire, in honour of his wife Laodice. Over the next century, Laodicea emerged as a major trading centre and was one of the most important commercial cities of Asia Minor.

After the Battle of Magnesia during the Roman–Seleucid War (192–188 BC), control of large parts of western Asia Minor, including Laodicea, was transferred to the Kingdom of Pergamon. However, the entire Kingdom of Pergamon would eventually be annexed by the expanding Roman Republic in 129 BC.

The many surviving buildings of Laodicea include the stadium, bathhouses, temples, a gymnasium, two theatres, and the bouleuterion (Senate House).

Recent excavations led by Prof. Dr. Celal Şimşek from Pamukkale University have revealed a rare collection of painted Scylla statues during restoration works of the stage building in the Western Theatre.

In Greek mythology, Scylla is a man-eating monster who lives on one side of a narrow strait, opposite her counterpart, the sea-swallowing monster Charybdis. The two sides of the strait are so close (within an arrow’s range), that sailors trying to avoid Charybdis’s whirlpools would dangerously come into range of Scylla.

Scylla is first mentioned in Homer’s Odyssey, where Odysseus and his crew encounter both Scylla and Charybdis during their voyage back to Ithica following the conclusion of the Trojan War.

In a press statement by Nuri Ersoy, Minister of Culture and Tourism: “These extraordinary sculptures are quite important in terms of being rare works that reflect the baroque style of the Hellenistic Period and have survived to the present day with their original paints.”

The archaeologists suggest that the sculptures were made by sculptors in Rhodes during the early 2nd century BC and are the oldest known examples from antiquity.

[that-greek-mythology-girl]

I'm very sensitive to minor characters in stories, I'm always mad when the author and readers treat them like random people who died or just another casualty, when no, those people had lives and dreams and hopes and I want to know them.

Like, in Epic, there's 600 Ithacans. We only know five. (Polites, Eurylochus, Elpenor, Perimedes and Odysseus himself.), in the Odyssey, we know of 3 others (Antiphus, Eurylus & Amphidamas.), they were 600, I WANT TO KNOW ALL OF THEM. I want to know if they were married, if they longed for their wives as much as Odysseus did, if they also had children they never met but wanted to, or sisters they wanted to see again, or mothers they longed to feel the embrace of. We only ever briefly know Eurylochus was married to Ctimene, but what else? And the trojan women? We know of the important ones, (Briseis, Andromache, Creusa, Hecuba, Laodice, Cassandra, Polyxena, etc..) but there must have been tons of women suffering there, who were they before the war? Did they have fathers, brothers, sons who died? Or were they enslaved with their mothers, sisters and daughters? Do they ever get to feel happy again? I hate in when a book goes: "The poets won't sing of this person" or "The Poets don't care about this person" LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER, I'M THE POET, I'LL SING, I CARE. LET ME EAT UP EVERY SINGLE STORY EVER. All to say I'm considering writting fanfics about either Odysseus' crewmen or the trojen women.

Would y'all read that?

Agamemnon (Person)

Agamemnon was the legendary king of Mycenae and leader of the Greek army in the Trojan War of Homer's Illiad. Agamemnon is a great warrior but also a selfish ruler who famously upset his invincible champion Achilles, a feud that prolonged the war and suffering of his men.

Agamemnon is a hero from Greek mythology but there are no historical records of a Mycenaean king of that name. The Greek city was a prosperous one in the Bronze Age, and there perhaps was a real, albeit much shorter, Greek-led attack on Troy. Both these propositions are supported by archaeological evidence. Unfortunately, though, the famous gold mask found in a shaft grave at Mycenae and widely known as the 'Mask of Agamemnon' is dated up to 400 years before any possible Agamemnon candidate that fits a chronology of the Trojan War.

Agamemnon's Family

Agamemnon was the son of Atreus, or perhaps grandson, in which case his father was Pleisthenes. His mother was Aerope, from Crete which provided a handy link between the Mycenaean civilization of the Greek Peloponnese and the earlier Minoan civilization of Bronze Age Crete. He was married to Clytemnestra with whom he had three daughters. In one version these are Chrysothemis, Laodice and Iphianassa while in other, later versions they are Chrysothemis, Electra and Iphigeneia. Agamemnon was the brother of Menelaos, king of Sparta.

hcs about platonic relationships in trojan family?

I actually have some, but I'm only going to answer hcs with Paris because I already made a post that's kind of about that, so it makes the whole thing easier (it's in my pinned post).

I have a headcanon that Paris, being raised as a lower-class person with extraordinary beauty, became attached to beauty. Like everyone else, he worked under the sun and really couldn't afford to buy those Phoenician fabrics and expensive gold jewelry from the merchants, but the reality is that Paris didn't need to be adorned with jewels and colors to be considered beautiful. In a way, what was most impressive was how, despite the simple clothing, the often practical-tied hair, and the lack of adornment, Paris looked extremely beautiful.

Paris obviously noticed this. He couldn't help but care very much about this, something special he had that could give him some advantages. It was always so much easier to bargain for wool prices when he smiled sweetly and gently touched the seller's hand, everyone seemed so willing to accept his prices. Whether it was because they wanted him, or because people had a bad habit of assuming that beauty equated to goodness, or because they were too distracted admiring him.

However, he also became irritated by his beauty. It seemed ridiculous to him how the most he could obtain was a few simple advantages. In the end, Paris was still a shepherd like any other shepherd. And it's not that he hated what he did, but it was just that it was frustrating just being able to look at the beautiful merchandise without ever being able to have it for himself. At the same time that he was proud of being beautiful, he was irritated that his beauty ultimately couldn't really give him the things he wanted.

When he became a prince again, Paris suddenly had access to things he hadn't before. So many jewelry, so many quality fabrics. It seemed foolish and wasteful not to use as much as possible, even if anyone looking would believe he was pompous for it. No one, at least, would have the audacity to lie and claim that he looked anything other than fantastic. Perhaps he was beautiful as a warning to his fate after all. He was a prince in his own right and, like so many other princes out there, he would have an amazing life. He was destined for this, Aphrodite even promised him the most beautiful woman. He always knew there was something missing in his life, and now he would get it back.

Due to their different experiences, his relationship with his brothers and sisters was a bit complicated. After so many years of not seeing them, knowing that he was a shepherd while they grew up in wealth, it was impossible for Paris not to feel somewhat bitter about this. He didn't blame them for his life, of course, but he couldn't help but look at Helenus' soft hands and compare them to his rough, calloused, tanned hands from working in the fields. It was infuriating that beautiful Laodice looked so much like him, but her hair was clearly the kind that had been nourished her entire life with only the most precious things. But even though Priam and Hecuba were his parents, they didn't raise him and he couldn't trust that they wouldn't just abandon him again. Therefore, Paris has always made a point of appearing constantly content, to the point where he has been considered extremely carefree and easy to please by others.

His most complicated sibling relationships, in fact, were with Cassandra and Hector.

Cassandra looked at him so terrified when she saw him, anxiously playing with her own long, loose hair with trembling hands. It was as if she had seen a haunting, it was as if she was terrified at the idea of living in Troy where Paris was, as if she wished he had remained lost. He was told not to worry about Cassandra as she was crazy and nothing she said made any sense. She used to be a normal kid, but something happened and she suddenly changed, they explained. You shouldn't take her seriously, they said, after all, not even Helenus can believe her and he's a seer. Paris eventually realized, the few times he heard Cassandra speak (she seemed strangely irritated at the idea of speaking, like it was a waste of time. Maybe she was just repressed?), she really only said nonsense. It was impossible for anyone to believe her. And yet, Paris couldn't ignore how clearly she didn't want him there.

Hector was something more ambiguous. He seemed genuinely concerned and caring, the perfect big brother that he was and that Paris never thought he would have. But that was the problem: Hector was too perfect. The crown prince, his parents' favorite, a formidable warrior, was everyone's favorite brother and even the horses seemed to love him. As caring as he was, he cared too much about his values. This meant that, if he disapproved of an attitude, you would probably know because Hector had a moral duty to let you know. And, of course, he let Paris know everything about it.

Paris couldn't help that it was a bit hypocritical of Hector. A man like him, growing up as the favorite while Paris was left out, living in the luxury of royalty while Paris was a shepherd, wanting to teach lessons about vanity and how beauty and material possessions weren't everything seemed like a annoying joke. Hector never lived without being surrounded by these things, so who was he to say anything? Maybe he should give all his precious things to Paris and go live as a hermit in the forest then. What's more, Hector certainly took some pride in his abilities in himself. Why couldn't Paris have his own pride as well? For a long time, that's just what he had.

Laodice, at least, understood him in that. She was always so well dressed, enhancing her already remarkable natural beauty. And she was a sweet person, offering to teach Paris about aspects of royal fashion that he had never been taught before. It was no wonder that they were both so similar physically, it was because they knew how to appreciate what was given to them.

Troilus was sweet and accepting, so he was nice to everyone, which included Paris. He just thought it was cool to have a new big brother. But Paris couldn't help but think that he didn't really look like he was Priam's son, although he didn't question it because he didn't know if it was a sore point in the family (truth be told, he didn't know a lot about his family. Initially, it was like suddenly live among a bunch of strangers)

Helenus spent way too much time with Cassandra, so Paris kind of avoided him (because he avoided Cassandra. He didn't need to have her looking at him desperately, it was disconcerting) but for the most part he seemed okay. Paris tried to ask him about his future, but Helenus simply said that the power was not his, but Lord Apollo's, and he was simply given the opportunity to be a spokesman for the god. Therefore, Helenus couldn't choose what he saw, he could only see what Apollo allowed him. His choice was only whether he would share the visions of Apollo's blessing with anyone, and how he would share them. Paris expected Lord Apollo to share his bright future soon.

And of course there are others, but there are so many people in Troy, it would take forever to talk about. But yeah, it's noticeable that my Paris is a little bitter. I don't know, I like the contrast of a person who appears almost cartoonish being internally complex.

Anyway, be free to send others asks!

do you consider iphanassia, daughter of agamemnon and clytemnestra, canon?

Nope but also yes (in a way).

I like the configuration of Electra being called "Laodice" (by Homer) and Iphigenia "Iphanassia" (since she has a myth of dying the exact same way Iphigenia did) respectively.

Though I do acknowledge Sophocles saying she's different from Iphigenia, but she's not a character in the play she's referenced in, and the alive AgaCly kids (Orestes, Chyrsothemis, Electra) feel more consistent as a trio.

(OLD)The Three Sisters of The Court

(They won't be that relevant to Claire' backstory now but they're still there)

They were first mentioned in Claire's introduction(?) and I gave in to give them designs.

HERE THEY ARE!!

Okay so,:

Technically they're the same age as the Headmaster, Meliadoul Amy and Innocent Zero, which is around 118 years old because they were each "blessed" by the God of Justice, Themis.

The oldest of them all is Liliane Laodice; although all of them work in The Court, she's the only who uses it as her main job. She mostly works as the Judge and handles the cases paperworks.

She usually doesn't go out very much so you might not even meet her in public. When trying to meet with her, her schedule is apparently "always busy", so there's already a small chance of meeting her.

Maybe do a crime and get to meet her in Court I guess lol.

The middle one is Elodie Laodice; she's the one who adopted Claire. If you're wondering why would she adopt a child when she's like really old, it's because she wants the law to change without really interfering directly.

She thinks the law around the magic world is getting, well, outdated because they haven't really advanced forward because of the law. Hence one day, she just.. decided to teach someone, train someone early on and change the fate of the world.

Of course she doesn't want to just train someone that's already mature because they might already be influenced that the world is "perfect". So she decided to adopt a child, a child that haven't even experienced the world yet and how it works.

Maybe they can have a different view if she showed them the flaws. If she gives an opportunity to them, would they take it and change the future?

..Onto the last one which is the youngest, Dinah Laodice. She currently works as a religious teacher at Saint Ars (I suspect that Saint Ars might be religious with like the theme around it lol) and a nun at the local church.

She's usually quiet and doesn't speak much and sometimes scares people every time she opens her mouth because they forgot she was there.

She doesn't open up very often and always leaves on time and just like her oldest, no one can really find after school. Students have said that they saw her in the school's courtyard but those seems to be rumours because no one really have evidence for it.

Elodie and Claire's relationship is uhh..hard to say.

Does Claire view her as a mother? Eh depends, from early on as a kid, Claire has always called her "miss". However she does feel a sting in her heart when she realises she doesn't really have anyone to call "mom".

It's not like Elodie doesn't view Claire as her own child but she doesn't exactly call herself a mother. After all, she already a few workers to take care of her while she guides her to a better future she can make.

It's really a complicated relationship but they don't talk it out because one's an older person that thinks what they're doing is right without thinking about the consequences while the other is a child who actually didn't really have any experience in the world and just follows along like a sheep.

..Claire does take it for granted though, after all, she could have a worst fate right? Being adopted by one of the higher ups is already good enough so she really shouldn't complained. She just needs to follow along the script that Miss had made.
