== Appearance ==

The Doctrine of Labyrinths. Upon seeing a portrait of Methony in Troia, Felix believed they were uncannily similar, and joked that he perhaps had no father at all.
According to Kolkhis, Methony had a "funny accent."Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 7.” Mélusine, Ace, New York, 2005. The Doctrine of Labyrinths.
== Personality ==
Methony was rebellious and largely seen as a promiscuous prostitute: she was strong-willed, obstinate, and stubborn. At the Gardens of Nephele she was treated as though she was annemer, because she had so little magic, and as a result of being ostracized and treated so, she seduced anyone she wanted. She slept with both men and women, and never had the same lover two nights in a row.
She liked to sing, and often gossiped and quarreled with her coworkers.Monette, Sarah. “Chapter 12.” Mélusine, Ace, New York, 2005. The Doctrine of Labyrinths. She would also at least sometimes steal.
== Life ==
Methony was born in Troia as the daughter of Theseia of the House Leontis and Celebrant Major Periander of the House Demetrias. Theseia died when Methony was barely five. Periander tried and failed to control Methony, who did what she could to resist his efforts. She began sleeping around, partly as a rebellion against Periander, and partly due to the wizards treating her as an annemer, which gained her a reputation with the younger wizards. Around this time, she slept with Diokletian. At some point, she became pregnant with Felix, and refused to say who the father was. She gave birth to Felix in Troia, but fled Troia with him when he was four months old.
