## History

### Early Life

Theodora Asimov was born to Isaac Asimov, a mortal man and Thalia goddess of Comedy in Khartoum, Sudan December 20, 2004. In order to ensure their legacy, the nine muses, goddesses of the arts, decided to pass their progeny forward. The only problem Thalia had with that idea was deciding who to have a child with. She came to the mortal world and went to a theater, eventually crossing paths with African actor Isaac Asimov. She posed as a fan of his, and he was clearly head-over-heels for her from day one. She had found the perfect person. He seemed kind and caring, perfect for parenting a child. She noticed that during the date he asked her on after the play was over. After two or three more dates, they had conceived a child. That child was Theodora. Three months passed, and one day Thalia showed up on Isaac’s doorstep with a basket which contained baby Theo, and a letter with detailed instructions on how to take care of a pseudo-muse. The letter also explained who Thalia was, and the nature of the child, which Isaac welcomed into his home and raised.

### Childhood

Theo grew up in a family fond of the arts and full of money due to her dad being a well-known actor. However, her father wanted to spoil her, which in turn made Theo into the simple, down-to-earth girl she is. She also grew up very close to stages and spotlights, which is why she is interested in every single kind of performing arts. She grew up singing, dancing and participating in school plays al, the time. One day, when Theo turned eight, her father revealed the truth of her divine mother. Theo was shocked, but eventually came to accept and carry on her mother’s expectations of her.

### Monster Attack and Camp

When she was thirteen, the predictable happened in Theo’s  life: she found herself attacked by a monster, a Myrmeke to be precise. Theo was glad that as well as training in the traditional form of arts, her father had also trained her in martial arts. The girl was able to fend off the fiend for a while, until she started to get tired. Luckily, a friendly satyr arrived just in time and helped Theo finish the giant ant off. From that point forward, Isaac has sent his child to Camp Olympia every summer, and the girl has just decided to become a full-time Camper. Her reason to do so? Apparently, more Pseudo-muses have been appearing in Camp, and she wants to not only become more aware of her godly heritage, but to become more active in the legacy of the muses themselves. When she came to camp, Theodora became the eighth member of the Trix, being semi-corrupted into their ways of bullying and belittling other campers, but Theodora was always the one to second guess her ways, feeling heavily out of place in her... "friend group"

## Personality

Theodora is a complete extrovert, she is interested in all kinds of performing arts. At first, she might come off as rude and unapproachable, but once you get to know her, she is sweet and kind, although a bit sassy and moody. Her best quality is probably the fact that she never wants to let her friends down. She is also a great matchmaker. Theodora isn't a figure who stands out in Camp Olympia. Despite her family's wealth, Theo comes across as a humble person who’s composed and stays out of trouble. A person who's unfamiliar with the legacy she has to keep alive, might assume that she's largely quiet and calm, based on how she initially comes across. After interacting for an extended period of time, that hypothetical person would be unable to reconcile their initial impression with the actual girl. Though Theo may seem quiet and calm most times, other times, she's also chaotic and extra. When she's around close friends, Theo is excitable, loud and very easy to laugh with. She can often be found hanging off a friend's arm, or shooting mischievous smirks. Despite the fact that Theo’s generally a nice person, she can be rather annoying if she puts her mind to it. That's not to say that she purposely irritates others, but that she finds it funny to break awkward or tense atmospheres with timely chaos and surprises. Theo’s lack of self-consciousness aids in this idiosyncrasy, as with her general disregard for social norms, a trait that she shares with her favorite cousin, Tina. Fundamentally, this habit stems from a place of good intentions. Theo is a friendly person who values the mood of her surroundings. She's down to try anything once, and is willing to play the fool if the situation calls for it. Theo doesn't take herself too seriously and she is prone to laughing at herself. This gives her a charmingly self-depreciating air, and she comes across as relatable in a very genuine way. What may not be as relatable is Theo’s thought processes. Theo’s internal logic tends towards the absurd and may not make much sense to people in Camp Olympia. She's largely impulsive, and prone to carelessness and mistakes. Even so, when accidents do happen, Theo is quick to laugh at her blunders and move on. Theo’s free-spirited nature has a downside, however. She is quick to make mistakes and even faster to move on from them, but she rarely learns from her accidents, and often continues whatever behavior or actions led to it. Furthermore, when Theo’s not interested in something, she finds it hard to muster the diligence and concentration to focus. One might assume that Theo's as transparent as the jellyfish she loves, considering her carefree demeanor and casual honesty. That's not true. Past a certain level, it becomes clear that Theo’s nonchalance and chill slide into denial and a refusal to face reality. Leah is terrified of confrontation and would rather move on to better things to distract herself with. This is why she's both dependable and surprisingly fickle, and why she doesn't take herself too seriously. If she did, it meant that she's giving power and legitimacy to her fears. Ultimately, Theo’s defined more by what she does than what she avoids. Despite her unpredictably chaotic energy, she has an impeccable grasp of comedic timing, and a relaxed air to pull it off. Theo's largely chill, though her level of chill sometimes reaches forced ignorance, which is counterproductive because it just causes more stress. In short, she’s a teenager.

### Fatal flaw

Theodora's fatal flaw is her anxiety. This is shown when she want to prove herself worthy of hospitality. She often panics over nothing and worries about the *smallest* things! She is working on being a calmer soul

## Appearance

Theodora is often described as a beautiful seventeen year old girl of African descent. She is said to have smooth dark brown skin, shining purple eyes, brown hair, often tied in dreadlocks. She is  normally seen weaning an orange shirt with flowers on it, ripped jeans, and converse
