Tritonia (Hydras and Heroes)

Tritonia is a semi-orphan adopted by Triton, the son of Posieden. Tritonia was renamed after her adopted father, Triton, so all who came upon her would know who protected her. Tritonia was brought up along side Triton's daughter Pallas; messenger of the seas. On the shores of what would become Troy an athletics festival was being held by Triton who served as host to the mortals who enrolled. As part of the festivities Tritonia and Pallas carried out mock duels as a form of artistic weapons play. On that day Triton had brought an Aegis shield as a gift for Pallas; and he held it up for her to see. In that moment of holding it up for Pallas to see, Pallas noticing it was distracted as Tritonia lunged with spear- Pallas was suppose to dodge. They had done this routine countless times but distracted she did not. Festivities stopped as Tritonia fell to her knees before her dying sister. When emotions settled Tritonia carved a statue to immortalize the image of her sister. She placed the shield that was to be gifted to Pallas into the statue's hand, and placed her sister's spear into the other. In her remorse she could not face Triton who like her mourned. She left into the world and took upon herself another name; that of her fallen sister.
