## **History**

### **Background (Tula zin"Marius)**

Many years ago, on a diplomatic mission between Atlantis and Themyscira, the Amazon Priestess Alexa caught the eye of the King-Consort of Atlantis, Orvax of House Marius. Though Alexa rebuffed his advances, the king-consort was quite persistent. When Alexa was sent out on a Hera's Rite, her boat was caught in a tidal wave caused by the intrinsic explosions in Southeast Asia. Alexa was cast into the sea and certainly would have drowned if it had not been for an agent of the Atlantean kingsguard. The Atlantean rescued the unconscious Amazon and brought her to a sanctuary built on a small hidden island to recover.

Even before the king-consort's arrival, Alexa got some major creeper vibes when she realized King Orvax made it the job of a lackey to keep tabs on her movements. When Orvax finally arrived, Alexa had some harsh words for him. Words that quickly turned into violence. The agent tried to intervene, but she was dismissed by the king-consort. When the sparring commenced, adrenaline kicked in, blood was spilt, sand and water were kicked about, and clothing was shed. When both combatants were disarmed and the defeated Orvax was pinned under a half-naked Alexa, the two got caught in the heat of the moment. As the tide washed over them, the pair gave in to primal impulses in that sort of late-night cable way (or I guess, the SkinHub way, for those too young to remember cable).

The next morning, their senses returned and Alexa told Orvax that they made a mistake. Not only concerned by the political fallout of this fling, Alexa respected Orvax's wife Queen Atlanna. Orvax scoffed at Alexa's concern for Atlanna's feelings. He said that if Atlanna should learn of the affair, she'd get over it or he'd hurt her until she no longer worried about it. Upon hearing that, Alexa grabbed a hand full of sand and stuffed it in the gills of the king-consort. As he gasped and choked, Alexa began to kick and strike him, all while furiously asking him if this is what he did to his queen. Alexa got carried away and before she was done beating him, Orvax was dead Panicking, Alexa put the atlantean in a shallow grave on the island and began swimming for land.

Alexa was found adrift in the ocean by a Themysciran rescue feet sent out to search for their sister in the aftermath of the tumultuous waves. She was taken back to the Paradise Islands and allowed to recover there. However, after a medical exam ordered by Queen Hippolyta, Alexa and the Amazonian healers were shocked to find that Alexa was pregnant.

### **Tula zin'Marius: 1993 - 2008**

When the child was born, Alexa allowed her sisters to believe she had been impregnated by Poseidon. Due to the belief she was the of the divine, the child was given the name 'Tula' which means 'light' among the Amazons. However, shortly after the birth, it became difficult for Alexa to conceal her daughter's true heritage as her gills would appear when exposed to water and large brown spots similar to those of a toad appeared on her face, shoulders, hips, and legs.

Alexa would would soon confess the truth of Tula's heritage to Queen Hippolyta, along with the murder of Orvax. While Hippolyta worked on how to avoid war with Atlantis, Alexa was sent back to the civilizations of man to fulfill Hera's Rite without the stain of bloodshed (and to leave the sight of Hippolyta who might be tempted to turn Alexa over to Atlantis). Meanwhile, Tula was raised as any Amazonian girl would be. She trained in combat, magic, lore, and trades in equal measure to find how she could best serve the sisterhood. Tula was treated harshly by her peers and given cruel nicknames, but she proved she was her mother's daughter by withstanding it all and besting her bullies in the sparring ring.

Then one day, Hippolyta came to the house of Alexa and Tula to say that the kingdoms of Atlantis and Themyscira had reached a decision concerning Tula. The young Tula left her mother's side on the sands of a Themysciran beach and walked into the waters to meet her waiting half-brother, who would escort her to Atlantis. Upon arrival in Atlantis, Queen Atlanna decided to make Tula the charge of her handmaiden Mera, to train in the ways of the elite Throneguard.
