Hera Fernández is a 2023-introduced and all-around/fiction-only character. She is the daughter of Uni, Queen of The gods and goddess of marriage, motherhood, women and familial love, from Etruscan Mythology, and currently attends Ever After High through the Mythology Program. In the destiny conflict, she is on the Royal Side, since she wants to up hold her mother's legacy.

## Character

### **Personality**

As judgmental and cruel as the gods of Olympus, Hera manifestly rules Ever After Mythology above - being an upperclassman, of course. Joining in on what are very well some of the oldest myths (and oldest mythos families) in New Athens, it’s easy to assume that this is the root of all her domineering characteristics. In fact, she’s perhaps one of the most devoted legacies in all the school. She dutifully acts the part of the "queen of the gods", smiting several classmates in her wake and adopting all the mythos lingo she can manage. But alas, this is far closer to the truth than she’d care to admit. Hera, for all her authority and intensity, is, in fact, acting a part. At least, that’s how it started out. As Uni's successor, she was born outside the legacy, and once offered the role, she realized this was the way out of the unfair cycle her entire family had been living in for so long. With the gift of a story, however, also came an immense fear of failure and losing the salvation her family had only just received. Destiny giveth, and destiny taketh away, and learning she signed a false myth book certainly didn’t help her nerves. In response, Hera has become hell-bent on continuously mimicking what an child of Hera stands for. She cannot lose this scholarship, this role, this new life for her and her family, and is unwilling to risk the opportunity, no matter the number of intimate sacrifices she has to make. For this, she is very determined. As a result, Hera bases her decision-making on how close it brings her to the gods. She is high, mighty, and will never let you forget it. What she sadly does forget, however, is the way she was raised before destiny knocked on their door.

Though once an openly compassionate and helpful person, Hera has forced herself to hide away this original version of herself, becoming standoffish and uncharitable to those around her. Perhaps it wouldn’t be so bad, if the two sides hadn’t begun to intertwine so much. More than ever before, Hera feels as if she cannot differentiate between the girl her family raised, and the vindictive royal she’s turned herself into. Additionally, one of the things Hera has also had to give up is simply how artistic she is. To her, artfulness has become a weakness, a window into the softer side of herself she tries so hard to dismiss. For all the pain it’s caused her, though, Hera wouldn’t consider changing her image for anything. Despite the pain that’s come with the role, she’s devoted to her family’s well-being above all else, and is more than willing to be their ticket to a better life. Even if she has to give up the rest of hers to do so. None of this is meant to imply that Hera possesses no regrets, however. Like her mother, she mourns the freedom she’ll never have again while being sworn to her position as such a tragic lover story. Thus, Hera is not just nostalgic, but also deeply defensive and high-strung, which only aids her image as the meanest mean girl around. This young demigoddess is bold, sassy, social, and open; yet at the same time, Hera can also be easily bored, vain, disorganized, extravagant, vengeful, and trusting. In fact, Hera has more assets than most women (fame, fortune, beauty, and a talent for fashion, etc), and she's proud to flaunt them. Loving to have things done her way, this daughter of Uni gives her loved ones the best and desires to be treated like the princess she is; however, beware. When situations become unfavorable, Ms. Fernándes shifts into the persona of a headstrong diva.

### **Appearance**

As statuesque as a Grecian sculpture, Hera is a young woman of mixed Indigenous and Spanish descent with medium brown skin, brown eyes, and straight shoulder-length dark brown hair with fringe bangs. Despite her towering presence, she is actually on the shorter side, standing at a modest 5'3". Her style is preppy, often with a Catholic schoolgirl silhouette, tying traditional Mexican wear with Grecian styled fashions. Her colors are yellow, white, light blue/light green, and gold, while her motifs consist of peacock feathers, diadems, and scepters. Hera is often seen wearing a crop top that is made of a flowing and glittery yellow fabric with a yellow/turquoise peacock feather pattern on it. Underneath the top, she wears a lacy black bralette. Around her neck, she wears a golden necklace with a turquoise gemstone inset in the center, and her earrings are similar to the feathered “eyes” of a peacock. Around her wrists are golden gauntlets with large turquoise gemstones inset within them. Her skirt is high-waisted and tiered, with the waist area being turquoise, while the upper and lower layers of the skirt are glittery orange and matte yellow, respectively, with the orange layer featuring the Greek key pattern in a lighter shade of orange, while its length is meant to evoke a schoolgirl skirt. Completing the schoolgirl look, she wears thigh high cream colored socks with a bit of a sparkle to them, and her shoes are high heeled Mary Janes. Atop her head is an ornate Greco-Roman golden diadem with a series of turquoise gems

## Relationships

### **Family**

#### Uni (Mother)

Hera as a pretty good relationship with her mother, being named after her mother's Greek counter part and having her mother's Roman counterpart as her first middle name. Uni is also rather close with her daughter in turn

#### Juan (Father)

Hera was spoiled rotten by her father and the two are very close, often writing to each other while Hera is at camp

#### Juanito (Younger brother, age 16)

Juan, or “Jaunito”, is the second eldest of the Fernández children. Just a year younger than Hera, he attends high school in his Junior year. Named for their father, he feels as if he’s not lived up to his legacy in providing for the family, and regrets that Hera sacrifices so much in his place. Of course, she refuses to hear of it, which means the relationship between the two, once intensely close, is now rather strained. His favorite color is purple, and his preferred artistic outlet is sculpting.

#### Miguel (Younger brother, age 15)

Miguel is a passionate spirit, who enjoys writing, prose, and above all, acting. A member of his school's theater club, he wishes to one day join the cast of his favorite soap opera and become a professional actor. His favorite color is red.

#### Marita (Younger sister, age 14)

Though Hera may be going to Ever After High for the "role" of a divine queen, the real angelic princess of the family is Maria, or “Marita”. Freshly fourteen, now getting ready for her quinceanera, she’s warm, kind, and able to please others in a way that just doesn’t come naturally to the more divisive Hera. In fact, Marita seems to have adjusted to the lavish, almost royal-like lifestyle the family now lives in comparison to the rest of her siblings, and seems far more destined for it than her older sister ever was. As has always been the case, the two are friendly and love each other, with Hera wishing to teach her little sister how to be a successful young lady, but they find they have little in common these days. Maria’s unique form of artistry lies in fashion and makeup (with her preferring to be the muse just as often as the artist), and her favorite color is princess pink.

#### Manuel (Younger brother, age 13)

Manuel is a fucking nerd, who engages with math, science, and architecture. He prefers shades of blue.

#### Mateo (Younger brother, age 12)

Mateo is the youngest of the Fernández family, and therefore feels the most “distance” from their struggles years ago. Unfortunately, this comes at the price of not really retaining any memories of their mother, which saddens Hera deeply. As a result, she finds herself particularly protective of him. Naturally, this comes across as overbearing at times, which means he is in equal parts grateful to and annoyed by his older sister. Being a newly-minted teen at age twelve, he’s an eager and amiable young boy, who takes a more modern approach to his artistic side by channeling his talent for drawing and painting and creating his own superhero stories, illustrating them as comic books. His favorite color is green.

### **Friends**

#### Julia Vera (Daughter of Pheme)

Julia and Hera tend to gossip with each other and often spread rumors about other students

#### Aubrey Pena and Julian Jones (Children of Hera/Juno)

Hera has a complex and rather strained relationship with her siblings. Because of the way she presents herself, she doesn't associate with them, because they are rebels, but as the future goddess family, she wants to have a relationship with them. She can't help herself but yearn for having a typical sibling relationship with her "counterparts", but as stayed before, not all myths are meant for a happy ending. Hera can't help but to also stare in jealousy for Aubrey and Julian being more favored by their mother, when *she* is the one following her destiny while *they **rebel***. She just... can't understand it.

### **Romance**

Hera identifies as bisexual and is currently single
