Daughter of Cupid / Eros

### My "Magic" Touch

"Though I did not inherit my "father's" love powers, I do have a form of his empathy abilities, though they focus on the negative aspect."

### Oh "Curses!" Moment

"*Ugh*, don't even bother asking. *Anything* involving love or romance love is a curse for me."

**Synnove Zephyr Cupid**, stylized as **Synnove Z. Cupid**, [*she/her*] is the 18-year-old daughter of **Eros**, Greek God of Love, and is set to take his role in Aesop's Fable, *Death and Cupid*.

At the time of the **Rebel Movement**, Synnove is attending her **Classic Year** (Fourth Year) and currently rooms with Olympia Charming. Though she has no issue with the story she's set to repeat, Synnove just doesn't want anything to do with her father, thus, siding with the **Rebels**.

## Characteristics

### Personality & Traits

* Appears very **antisocial**, not wanting to talk to people, and prefers to keep to herself.
* Often seen as the **Black Sheep** of the family, with her refusal to have any connection with Love and whatnot; her black feather wings only add in the drama of being the Black Sheep.
* Keeps things to herself which makes it hard for her to **open up** to others.

### Physical Appearance

Synnove is a teenager of Norwegian and Greek descent. She has long black hair with a rose pink highlights, dark green-gray eyes, with a light olive-colored skin tone. She wears a lot of black, to show her rebellious stage, accented with rose pink, because rose pink is the new black, in her words. She has large black feathered wings with a pale pink ombre.

### Powers & Abilities

Unlike her half-siblings, Synnove did not inherit Eros's famed love powers, she, instead, inherited his empathy abilities. However, her powers focus more on the negative aspect of love and emotion and are powered by her emotions.

#### **Powers**

* **Empathy:** Synnove is able to interpret and replicate the emotions, moods, and temperaments of others.
	+ **Empathy matter manipulation:** She is able to manipulate matter by using emotions, essentially performing feats normally associated with Telekinesis. Her magic aura is black with a tint of rose pink.
		- **Negative emotional energy manipulation:** Synnove's empathy powers are more enhanced with her negative emotions and the power she has the most control over.
* **Flight:** Even though she has wings, Synnove rarely uses them, preferring to walk to places. Despite that, she still takes great care for them.

#### **Skillset**

* **Archery:** Like with any child of Eros, Synnove was taught how to use a bow and arrow. However, she hates it, and never uses it. In fact, her bow and arrow set is back home on Mount Olympus collecting dust in her room.
* **Multilingualism:** Synnove is able to speak (and write) in English, Norwegian, and Greek. Even though she has lived in Greece for over ten years, she still prefers Norwegian over Greek.

## Fairy Tale - *Death and Cupid*

### History

#### *Prior-Ever After High*

Much of Synnove's past prior to attending Ever After High is unknown.

At some point in time, Synnove left Norway and moved to Greece to live with her biological father, Eros. Nothing is known about why she left Norway or what happened to her mother.

#### *Ever After High*

Not much information is known about Synnove's time between her Freedom Year and Classic Year.

During her Classic year, upon Raven Queen refusing to sign the *Storybook of Legends*, it is later revealed by Synnove that she was only with the Royals out of duty. She wanted nothing to do with her paternal family and even years later, still doesn't want anything to do with them.

## Relationships

### Family

#### Biological mother

Not much is known about Synnove's biological mother. Whether the woman is alive or deceased is unknown.

Synnove doesn't openly talk about her birth mother, not even her roommate Olympia know much about her. The only thing that is known about her biological mother, is that's where most of Synnove's physical features come from.

#### Eros

Synnove's relationship with her father is well strained, to say the least. With his many duties and already many children, Eros doesn't have much time for Synnove. So far, the only time he's spent, one-on-one time with her was when he found her after she was abandoned.

#### Psyche

Synnove doesn't necessarily *hate* Psyche, step-mother, but finds her annoying at times. Especially when she tries to get her to join in on the family. Synnove has yelled at her but to her utter surprise, Psyche takes it in. She understands she is not Synnove's mother and will never be, but hopes one day, to be the female figure Synnove needs in her life.

#### Siblings

As one of the children of Eros, Synnove has *many* siblings. She doesn't bother remembering their names half the time as she doesn't even bother trying to talk with them. She could care less about any of her siblings and doesn't want anything to do with them or the family. When any of them try to approach her, Synnove generally walks away to avoid talking with them.

### Friends

Due to her antisocial nature, Synnove doesn't make friends easily, and doesn't *try* to make friends. It also adds in with her avoiding people so they don't ask her questions about love or Cupid.

#### Olympia Charming

Olympia Charming is Synnove's roommate and though they don't talk often, they respect each other.

### Pets

#### Ailuros

A little while after moving to Greece, Synnove rescued an orphan lynx cub, whom she named Aliuros. Despite her father's refusal, Synnove kept the cub (Psyche convinced Eros to let Synnove keep the kitten).

Ailuros stays close to Synnove, almost never leaving her side. The only time she *does* leave her owner's side is when the teen has to go to her classes.

### Romance

Because her father is the God of Love, Synnove has a negative look on love. She typically wants nothing to do with it, refusing anything to do with it. Despite how she reacts about love, Synnove deeply wishes that someone would like her for *her*, and not just because her father is Eros.

## Quotes

*"I want to be free of the Cupid legacy. I want to find my own path. Is that too much to ask for?!"*
- Synnove to her adoptive sister, Chariclo Arganthone Cupid
## Etymology

Her full name is *Synnove Zephyr Cupid*.

The name *Synnove* is a Norwegian name meaning *"Present of the sun"*. Her second name *Zephyr* is a Greek name meaning *"Westerly wind"*. The name *Cupid* comes from the Roman name of Eros, Greek God of Love. It is using the same naming format as the canon character, C.A. Cupid.

## Trivia

* Synnove is **Norwegian-Greek**; her biological mother is Norwegian and her father is Greek.
* Much to her annoyance, Synnove is forced to work at Hearts and Roses Café, as a waitress due to her grandmother, Aphrodite. She does refuse to wear the uniform, finding it too pink and frilly for her.
* Her Social Media name is **@synnovezephyr**.

### Notes

* Synnove's powers are based on Raven (*Rachel Roth*) from *DC Nation* and *Teen Titans* as a way to expand the idea of Cupid's empathy abilities/powers.
* The name Zephyr was originally picked out upon the reveal of Zephyr Haddock, the daughter of Hiccup and Astrid Haddock from the *How to Train Your Dragon* series.
