**Queen Circe of Sagära (**born *Circe II Gorgonio***)** is the second child and oldest daughter between Luceron V Gorgonio and his wife Elaenor Bucon, the younger sister of Klaus and the older sister of Nymue, Æëtes and Perseus. She believed Lysander to be her illegitimate half-brother, not cousin growing up.

Circe had two children in her life, a daughter she named Tali and a son named Sepher, both died young. Her daughter soon after birth and her son when he was in his twenties. Her son had four children before his death, who were abandoned by their mother but through Vespertine's intervention they were given to their grandmother as a sign of hope and reconciliation.

## Appearance

In her youth, Circe had beautiful chestnut hair and bluish grey eyes that looked bluer then grey as a girl. Unfortunately, in her late twenties to early thirties her hair started turning grey and patches of hair would fall out due to loss and tragedy she experienced, her skin became dull and sallow, and she often looked tired and disappointed. Her beauty also faded though (\*&\*) mentions she still possesses a dignified grace and tired beauty. She has pointed ears with no earlobes, and a had long black tail with a flame-like end. She has two beauty marks on the right side of his face, one is more directly under the eye and the second is above her eyebrow similar to her granddaughter.

Circe was born with an oval-shaped face with high cheekbones, and large eyes with long eyelashes. As she matured and became more expressive, she grew into a rare beauty, her "*husband*" described her upon meeting her for the first time her face was "*so filled with character and determination*" that she strongly resembled her mother.

## Abilities and Skills

* **Aesiran Physiology** -
	+ **Psychic Energy Manipulation** - Unlike a lot of mana users, Delphyni is considered an Esper, a person similar to someone with immense spiritual power but crossed with a mana user, the hybrid of hybrids. She was also born with an unlimited amount within her but can only draw from it within a few moments due to her emotional barriers she had to keep herself in check.
		- **Expanded Prescence** - Circe possesses the unique ability to expand her soul over an area she dwells in allowing her to sense anything that happens inside her presence, when she was in Neo Terra she indirectly protected the city of (\*&\*) and later when she got to Daisenor she began having visions of the events around her causing headaches, fainting spells, a blood erupting from the eyes, noses and ears. When Sister Leto came in disguised as a maid, she began learning how control her mana via learning the Seal of Urna. Now since she became Queen of Sagära, she uses this ability to protect her planet and to know what is happening at any given moment.
			* **Hyper Awareness** -
		- **Seal of Urna** - A technique of the Anasasuken Arts taught to her by her Sister Leto, it requires extremely delicate mana control. By storing a vast amount of mana over an extended period of time into a specific point on their body usually the forehead the user creates this seal, which manifests in the form of a rhombus-like marking. Once the seal is formed, the user's already impressive mana control allows them to perform techniques without any wasted energy. When released, the seal will either spread across the user's face or wrap around their entire body. The stored mana is then released into their body, greatly amplifying the power of their techniques. The seal will permanently remain in the center of the user's forehead, presumably so that the user can keep on benefiting from its effects.
			* **Healing Augmentation** -
	+ **Zoolingualism** - As part-Aesiran, Circe has the ability to communicate with any animal.
	+ **Abnormal Muscular Constitution** - Like all Aesirans possesses eight times the muscle density, no matter the gender. Circe is also physically more powerful than her half-blooded grandchildren.
		- **Enhanced Strength** - Her physical strength is pure brute force to the point where one punch can cause a shockwave and create a small crater on a wall without making physical contact to it.
		- **Enhanced Durability** - She has also shown to withstand heavy attacks with little to no injury. This also counts internally, as when she ate one of (\*&\*)'s really spicy sandwiches and it didn't even phase her.
		- **Enhanced Metabolism** - A trait Circe inherits from her Aesiran heritage, no matter how much she eats, Circe can never gain weight or get any fatter.
	+ **Laser Tail** - Circe was able to fire laser beams from the tip of her tail. However, when she was held captive on Neo Terra as a girl, her tail was cut off and sent to her brother Klaus as a warning.
* **Familiar Contract** - Circe has a familiar contract with the guardian of *Rotting Bone Forest*, Æli'yasha a giant slug that was created by the goddess Sulis created to protect her sacred spring Sulanthos.

### Possessions

* **Cane** - In her graying years, Circe used a cane to help her walk especially when her cancer began to spread into her bones. Its top was of a silver wolf and the wooden part was decorated with a serpent and made out of snakewood that grew near the castle.

## Etymology

* Circe is the latinized form of Greek Κίρκη (Kirke), possibly from κίρκος (*kirkos*) meaning "hawk". In Greek mythology Circe was a sorceress who changed Odysseus's crew into hogs, as told in Homer's Odyssey. Odysseus forced her to change them back, then stayed with her for a year before continuing his voyage.
* Her surname Gorgonio can be read in Aesiran script as the "chimera's bite" or the "devouring chimera".
	+ Gorgonio is the Spanish, Portuguese and Italian form of *Gorgonios* derives from the Ancient Greek “*gorgos"* (γοργώ), meaning “dreadful, terrifying, ugly, relating to Gorgon”. In Greek mythology, a Gorgon is a female creature. While descriptions of Gorgons vary across Greek literature and occur in the earliest examples of Greek literature, the term commonly refers to any of three sisters who had hair made of living, venomous snakes, as well as a horrifying visage that turned those who beheld her to stone.
