Austėja Zikaras

==History==
An Archangel does not equal a good dad or even an okay absentee father. Having the greatest of intentions means little if not nothing to a Nephilim child. Milda Zikaras birthed a nephilim after she came into contact with an Angel sent from Heaven. It sounded like a sappy love story to her friends and family, and when her lover left her barefoot and pregnant everyone knew it was more lust than love. Raziel was not on Earth to breed and multiply, he was not supposed to sire a child. Creation was not part of his mission, yet the child exists.
Her mother was a demigodess, in fact her name is a tribute to her goddess grandmother. She had an unusual upbringing, her mother moved them around a lot. Her mother Milda was hunted by a demon cult, unbeknownst to Tėja they were not after her mother, they were after Tėja for her Angel blood. Her father Raziel went by the alias Ciji (Ces Gef) while he was on Earth. He was sent down from Heaven an enemy to the Cult of Daemonum. He was to infiltrate and prevent them from turning the mortal world from descending into literal Hell on Earth.
Tėja and her mother Milda live at Olympus Academy after being saved from a gruesome death by demon hunters. Her father was present among them, he escorted his former lover and daughter to safety explained how he could not be with them, an excuse her mother Milda already heard while she was growing up. She wanted a better life for Tėja and she provided her with something that was eerily similar. Milda worked at the school in an unofficial capacity while Tėja began taking classes and familiarizing herself with her nephilim status.
She was never embarrassed to have her mother working at the same school she was attending, it was also their home which made it a rather unusual situation. It let Tėja with mixed feelings, she felt safe at the academy where the cultists coming for her were kept at bay by the magic protecting the school walls. Tėja would not admit to anyone who ever asked her, she was happy there because she felt protect. That was until the school was able to help her mother find a small home for them in Tenebrae City. 
Her separation from the school property gave Tėja an anxiety of sorts, she lost that free and protected feeling. It led to her being a bit closed off which at the time was unusual. She began working with school officials, Barrett Anderson and Roxana Durrani, to work through her mental obstacles. The two Fae occasionally worked in tandem to counsel the young one either with their abilities or the knowledge they have gained through a thousand years of experience. She learned more about the level of her Healing abilities by letting a Fae help tap into her potential.
She has only ever enjoyed traveling as part of what she does at Olympus Academy, her abilities as an Angel allow her to have a grasp on most if not all languages. She travels along side a group of staff members helping her learn how to locate and recruit potential students for the academy in the future. The staff group is of varying species with different abilities that are all relied upon equally. She has met a lot of pregnant women and small children that will not attend the academy for years to come.
==Personality==
She is a tad bitter and a little too impulsive. She has the occasional scathing remark that gets shotgunned from her brain straight to her mouth. She tries her best to keep that sort of thing inside of her head. She might utter something more unpleasant aloud thinking it was an internal thought when it was exactly the opposite.
She is guarded and always on high alert. She does not like surprises of any kind at all, birthday parties, gifts, hugs even handshakes. If something is meant for her she wants to be told about it in advance. She does not like people sneaking up behind her or being touched without permission. She will always find a way to put herself in a position that leaves her with back touching a wall. She gets angry easily, she is more sensitive that she lets on and takes every insult deeply personal.
She prefers to be outdoors, she adores nature and oddly enough does not even find mosquitos, flies or bees annoying. The fact that a setting without alls removes her ability to 'watch her own back' is not something she does not understand. She feels more comfortable in the open air environment because she feels safer making use of her wings.
