Wraith (Cyrene Kokkinos) (Earth-919)/Synopsis

## History

### [Childhood: OPEN]

Born the only daughter of the Kokkinos family, Cyrene is the princess of the family. On her father's side, she was also the only girl, cherished by her paternal grandparents, aunts and uncles - Cyrene knew only love. On her mother's side, another story all together. Her mother disowned her family after many conflicts so much isn't known about them. Her mother, Amelia, was an American, who moved to Greece in her twenties to leave her family and met Lysander - the rest is history.

After the birth of Cyrene in Greece, the family moved to America to enable Amelia the chance to reconcile with her family but that was a waste. The family stayed in America however to help Cyrene gain the ability to be fluent in more than one language. She was treated like gold her whole childhood, as her mother was unable to fall pregnant again.

The Kokkinos Extended family often flew to America to get to know the family princess, and teach her about the deities that the family looks to as they are a family of devotee's to the Greek Pantheon. She was taught from a young age that the gods will choose her, not the other way around and often watched rites occur with the family. It's suspected that the Kokkinos family stems from a Demi-God bloodline, but that hasn't been confirmed.

In her teen years, Cyrene was chosen by multiple gods to become a priestess - she however chose to become a child to them instead. Her reasoning was her age and lack of life experience. Although disappointed, the gods had welcomed her with open arms. These Greek Gods were; Hekate, Persephone, Hades and Apollo. All kept an eye on their human child as she aged through her teen years.

### [College: OPEN]

Cyrene entered College as soon as she finished high school and met Jacob Fury, they became fast friends. They attended similar lectures bar a few, and often spent their time together amongst friends. It wasn't long before they got together, to the dismay of the Gods - they knew something she didn't. Despite being an active college student and girlfriend, Cyrene devoted her time to her gods all the same and became a Part-time Hiereiai (priestess) to both Hekate and Persephone. The modern-day world has enabled the ability to be devoted to the both. Hades and Apollo, were content with her being their child if she was devoted to the goddesses as a mortal's time is short.

Cyrene graduated as Valedictorian much to everyone's shock, but she did do her major in Greek History. Around this time Jacob and her had gotten closer, and she found out about his family's profession. Although concerned for her own safety along with theirs, she was supportive as she was hoping to be with Jacob. Around their fifth anniversary, Jacob proposed to Cyrene and gifted her a protection dog, who she named Bella.

Bella was a two year old Rottweiler, a sturdy dog who gained an attachment to Cyrene from the get-go. They were inseparable, once everything was settled. Around this time, Cyrene had moved in with Jacob but often went back to her family home for rites and rituals that she couldn't do at home. Her life was content, she had her fiancee, a puppy and her life was average. The gods closest to Cyrene often warn her about something happening, they prep her and give her guidance, Cyrene finds it all a little sweet that they care for her to this extent.

### [Capture: OPEN]

Leaving work one afternoon with Bella in tow, Cyrene was walking towards her shared apartment with Jacob. She started bringing Bella with her on Jacob's instruction after he told her that, he had upset some scary people. Cyrene hoped that it would blow over as they were planning their wedding for the following year. It couldn't have happened at a worse time.

They were a block away from the apartment building when a black van drove up beside Cyrene and Bella, four men had jumped out and began trying to grab Cyrene. Both herself and Bella fought to escape, she had the skin under her fingernails to prove it but one of the assailants had brought a gun. Bella was shot on sight, Cyrene screamed at her immediate loss and fought harder to escape but to no luck of hers, she was shoved into the van whilst her beloved pet lied dying on the sidewalk.

### [Aftermath: OPEN]

Eight (8) Months, Cyrene was trapped for. She had been abused in many ways than one could ever wish. She cried, screamed, wailed and begged to be let go but she was still trapped. She began pleading to her gods, crying out for their help. It wasn't until she realised she was pregnant with a child of one of her assailants that any of her gods tried anything, that child is not one of theirs and the life of the child carrying this abomination will end her own life before she gives birth. It took far too long for the initiation in her blood to start, her gods were trying to awaken her abilities before intervening.

One stormy night, after a round of abuse Cyrene had enough. She felt something awaken deep within her, the ropes holding her suddenly became like floss and snapped when she pulled. The pain she was feeling was something she couldn't discern if it was from the abuse or from what is happening, however everything seemed clearer.

Cyrene doesn't remember much of that night, all she recalls is before she tore the place apart she heard her attackers mention that no-one had reached out to save her other than some pushy family that is plastered all over the news, not the one they want. She lost all sense of self, the person who caused this - Jacob Fury - didn't even have the decency to come save her. She doesn't recall how she left where she was but, when she could she did call her Father.

Amelia and Lysander were relieved that their daughter was alive, and furious at Fury for everything that transpired. Cyrene didn't know where she was but she was able to after a few hours make it to a police car, she spent weeks in the hospital and even had the fetus removed.
