Asteria

Sister: Leto

**Asteria** is the Titan of falling stars and prophetic dreams. She is the daughter of Coeus and Phoebe, the wife of Perses, and the mother of Hecate. In order to escape Zeus's advances, she transformed herself into the island of Delos.

## Overview

Asteria was a daughter of the Titans Coeus and Phoebe, and the sister of Leto. By the Titan Perses, she had a daughter Hecate, goddess of witchcraft.

## Personality

According to Apollo, Asteria is so mysterious that her daughter Hecate might be seen as blunt in comparison.

## Powers and Abilities

**Magic:** Asteria is able to utilize magic, the art of using certain actions such as gestures, rituals and thoughts as well as symbols, language and formulae to utilize mysterious and/or supernatural forces that don't abide by conventional science or laws of reality to achieve any effect or phenomenon imaginable. They can do so to varying degrees, with only their skill, personal power-level, imagination/knowledge, and/or morality to define the borders. Given the flexibility of magic and its ability to transcend logic, laws, and common sense, Asteria has essentially limitless possibilities for what they can accomplish and achieve, essentially being capable of altering reality through their magic.

**Night Manipulation:** Asteria is able to manipulate the nighttime, including how long a night lasts, cause nighttime regardless of if the Sun is shining on those areas of the world or not. They have limited control over the Moon and stars, darkness and the optical phenomena associated with the nighttime.

**Precognition Manipulation:** Asteria can manipulate the precognitive powers of others. They can give them a vision or a much clearer vision of the future and make precognitive dreams easier to understand.

**Prophecy Construction:** Asteria is able to create and predict prophecies, being able to re-write history and intervene with even godly affairs. They can set the course of a chain of events which will lead to some of the greatest moments in history and cause destinies to collide. This power is the only form to disrupt Destiny Manipulation itself.

**Seer:** The archetype is a seer, an individual who can see things hidden from others and also has the ability to predict the future or speak for the gods. There are also a small variation of seers known as clairvoyants, prophets, oracles, or diviners.

**Shapeshifting:** Asteria can change their shape, size, color, density, texture, cellular composition, and/or atomic composition to mimic qualities, impersonate entities, amplify abilities, and/or traverse environments. The origins of this power play a significant role in their capabilities and limitations; altering oneself on a cellular, atomic, and/or conceptual level will permit varying degrees of alteration; while methods that defy the laws of reality, such as magic, will most likely keep to their own set of conventions.

**Stellar Embodiment:** Asteria is the personification of the stars, granting them limitless or near-limitless control over all the stars. This may also include constellations.

## History

Asteria was once an inhabitant of Olympus, and, like her sister Leto, was beloved by Zeus, despite already be married to Perses. In order to escape the amorous advances of the god, who pursued her in the form of an eagle, she transformed herself into a quail and flung herself into the Aegean Sea. It was there where she metamorphosed into the island of Delos.

Later, when her sister Leto was being hunted by the serpent Python per Hera's order, Delos became the only place on Earth to give refuge to her. It was said that she was borne by the north wind Boreas at Zeus' command to the island, where she had to cling to an olive's branch and gave birth to Artemis, and nine days later, Apollo. After their birth, the island grew roots to the land and no longer floated.

After an unknown while, the island gave birth to Hecate, the daughter of Asteria and Perses, who would relocate to the region of Arcadia when she grew up. It's said that it was in Delos where the goddess was taught about Titanic Magic by her mother, who was a Second-Generation Titan.
