## Character

### Personality

Bernadette Jones was an elegant and radiant woman with a deep love for good food. Despite her age, she still had a youthful energy that seemed to draw people to her. Her warm smile and kind demeanor made her feel like the perfect housewife, and her cooking skills were legendary among her family and friends. Bernadette was born the daughter of Doris, the Greek goddess of the sea's bounty, but she never showed any of the typical signs of a demigod. Instead, she lived a quiet life with her human husband, George Jones, the son of the sea god Nereus. They had been married for over sixty years and had built a beautiful life together, filled with love, laughter, and delicious food. While Bernadette never went to Ever After High, she had a deep appreciation for the stories and legends of her mother's people. She loved to hear tales of adventure and heroism, and she always found a way to incorporate these stories into her cooking. Her recipes were filled with nods to Greek mythology, from the lamb stew she called "Ares' Revenge" to the honey cake she dubbed "Ambrosia's Delight." Bernadette's home was always filled with the delicious smells of cooking, and she loved nothing more than entertaining guests with her culinary creations. She had a way of making everyone feel welcome, and her warm hospitality was the stuff of legend. Even as she aged, she never lost her love for good food and good company.
