## History

### Early Life

Anatole and Iphigenia Mycenaean were born to Enyo, goddess of war, destruction and devastation and Agamemnon, King of Mycenae. During the Trojan war, Enyo greatly admired Agamemnon's strength and found her self becoming attracted to him, in similar fashion to how Aphrodite fell in love with Diomedes. One night, Enyo visited Agamemnon's tent with an offer; If he slept with her, then the war would go to the Greeks. Agamemnon was swayed, not only by her offer, but by her divine beauty, and agreed to spend the night with her. The next morning, Enyo was gone. However, back on Olympus, Enyo discovered that she was with her children, later discovering she was going to have twins, but rather than keeping this news to herself, Enyo decided to tell Agamemnon, coming to him in a dream. Nine months later, Enyo gave birth to her twin children. Enyo allowed Agamemnon to name their children, saying she would take them back to Olympus to raise them until the war was over. Agamemnon named the boy Anatole and the girl Iphigenia, after the daughter he was forced to sacrifice

### Childhood

For the first eight years of their life, Anatole and Iphigenia were raised as a normal childhood, but by the time they were nine, Anatole was given his first sword and Iphigenia, her first bow, and their mother explained they would be trained to be warriors. Much like Adrian, the Mycenaean twins received brutal training as well. Enyo hated whenever her children were "acting weak" and would often slap them to the ground telling them to "fight or die". Their living situation wasn't that great either, as Enyo had given him a pretty small area to share as their room. Anatole was also often beaten by their half-brother Enyalius, who grew to dislike the twins. Whenever Enyo wasn't training (abusing) her children, Anatole and Iphigenia would often wander around Olympus, and one day bumped into Damon, a son of Aphrodite. The three became friends, but never really saw each other much because of Enyo's treatment of the twins and Aphrodite's protectiveness of Damon. When Anatole and Iphigenia were seventeen, their mother decided to make them immortal, wanting them to be by her side for all of time. As the years went on, the twins saw their lives as normal, not knowing what their mother was doing was very cruel and unjust. Throughout time, Anatole watched as his mother and other family (Ares, Athena, Nike, etc) would play their parts in various wars, and he and his sister would always watch with sorrow, since all *they* wanted was a peaceful world. After about a thousand years of this, Anatole decided to run away, dragging Iphigenia with him

### Getting to Earth and Going to Camp

In the year 1900, while their mother was out attending to her godly duties, Anatole and Iphigenia snuck down to earth and lived hiding for many years. At most, they kept to themselves, almost fearing the world, and killing any monster that came their way. The twins became pretty secluded, coming to earth rather confused and pretty lost. While they traveled the earth, They were worried that their mother would come and find them. Years went by, Anatole and Iphigenia felt rather lonely and wanted to at least have *one* friend that weren't, you know, each other. In the late 1980s, when he came across a group of people (who also happened to be children of characters from the Iliad, and by proxy meeting their cousins Elias and Holly) and created a group together. They would go around each state, having fun and killing any monster that would try to hurt them. Finally, in the early 2000s, they came across a camp for demigods in Big Bear, California. Once they all crossed the border. Anatole and Iphigenia were claimed as the children of Enyo, but they still had to be in the Hermes cabin.

## Personality

If one was to describe Iphigenia in one word, it would be “goal-oriented”. She sets goals and deadlines for herself and is very organized. She keeps a planner and tabs on what she needs to do each day which explains why her grades are pretty good. She sometimes does let her schedule do what it wants since she wouldn’t want to hinder herself from enjoying her immortal experience. After all, she had other plans for her end game rather than follow her story to the very end and be miserable due to her unsure nature. She plans to change how her tale ends, but the adventure of her destiny also sounds amazing. She matures quickly and is independent in her own way. Iphigenia is kind and understanding, always wanting to be altruistic. She enjoys positivity, but never dabbles too much in the negative light. With her situation, it is easy to be a downer, but she does not let her background get to her. She wants to smile and spread happiness and it certainly shows whenever she offers to volunteer in community services. Iphigenia likes looking at the bright side of things, but sometimes drowns in the not so perfect side of herself. She gets back up with the help of a certain jolly girl. Like her half-sister once was, Iphigenia is extremely loyal to her friends and loved ones. She keeps them close to her heart and ensures that she is there for them when they need her. She can be taken advantage of this way, and she is completely oblivious to it, giving the person the benefit of the doubt. She is trustworthy and would take promises to her grave without a second thought. Her friends play a great part in her life and she takes this into account and gives them her everything. Her trust in others cannot be broken easily even if they bail on her several times. She lets go of toxic situations too easily, but is unaware of it. She would go great lengths for loved ones, dropping everything she is doing just to help. Iphigenia has a bad habit of second guessing herself. She is uncertain about everything and needs a second opinion half of the time. She presents her findings to others and sometimes does wake her friends up at night just to ask if they think her essay is alright. It always ends with rejection, so she is left alone with her thoughts on what to do. She is not confident in her abilities to make choices, even with simple tasks like choosing what to eat in the morning. Her rights from her left blur themselves to a line, making the task even harder. It can be very overwhelming for her and she copes by not choosing anything at all in the end. Iphigenia is, first and foremost, a charming - and true to her family name. She is overly sweet and kind; a heartwarming young lady who always has a welcoming smile on her face. Iphigenia finds kindness to be the key to every situation and the solution to every problem, and could not fathom being indelicate or rude to someone, not even if they are the worst to her. The princess sees the good in everyone, and refuses to believe that someone is inherently bad. That is one of the main reasons why she fully supports those villains who rebel against their wicked fates. Iphigenia believes that everyone should have a chance of seeing the good within them, it doesn't matter if it takes some time for them to find it. "What better way of encouraging others to be kind and compassionate than being kind and compassionate yourself?" is Iphigenia’s philosophy and something she carries deep in her heart. A true classy lady, Iphigenia acts and behaves as such - as an extension to her traits listed above. Iphigenia is essentially polite and respectful, and highly values etiquette and good manners. She is eloquent and can carry a conversation with no trouble at all - but due to her shy and coy nature, she prefers to listen to others talking rather than being the one actively speaking. Iphigenia is an excellent listener and a good shoulder to cry on, and can spend hours and hours listening to her friends venting about absolutely anything they want. It's not rare to come to her dorm room and find someone gossiping about something they saw today; crying about a breakup or complaining about something a teacher did earlier. If you have a secret and need desperately to share it and don't know who to trust, Iphigenia is certainly an excellent option. Iphigenia finds it difficult to stand for herself, and unfortunately, can easily be manipulated by others. She most certainly doesn't know when to say "no" when someone has crossed boundaries, and the way she's always scared of hurting someone's feelings doesn't help this situation. Her friends are the ones who constantly have to stop others from taking advantage of the princess, and always tell her that she needs to learn how to establish limits. Iphigenia’s still very unsure of how to do it, and fears that people might perceive her in the wrong way for whatever reasons.
