## Physical Appearance

### Shin Le-ah

As her human reincarnation, Rhea has been shown to greatly physically resemble her two sons, with their facial structure, black hair, brown eyes and overall appearance all seem to have been inherited from their mother.

## History

Like many of the children of Ouranos, she was adopted by him and became one of his six adoptive children in order to unite the various families and tribes of transcendents in order unite them together as a singular, Godly Society, Olympus.

Rhea herself was descendent of the Quirinale family, an ancient clan of Transcendents that existed long before Olympus. The Quirinale Family was a group of transcendent Gods said to have put emphasis on honor and dignity and pursuit to the concept of "Space". They were essentially a noble family that worshipped laws.

Due to the differing goals, way of thinking and behvaior between them and the Pneuma Faction, the Quirinale family was stated to have strong animosity with the Pneuma Faction since the beginning of time.

During the civil war ignited by Theia against the rest of their family to usurp Ouranos's throne as Supreme God of Olympus after he began to slowly die from Gaia's Curse. Rhea refused to pledge herself, nor her armies support to either Theia nor Oceanus's factions due to resenting both her siblings for breaking the peace established by Ouranus. However, Kronos eventually convinced her to join forces with him to put an end to the civil war. With their combined power and armies, the two were able to overpower both Theia and Oceanus’s forces. This event eventually lead to Kronos being acknowledged as Ouranus's official heir and the new king of Olympus, with Rhea marrying him as per their agreement to maintain the power balance in Olympus.

Despite their initially rocky relationship and their political marriage, Rhea and Kronos would eventually genuinly fall in love with each.

Due to her caring nature and as a goddess of the earth, she raised two pets, named Popo and Pepe, who would serve her as her closest subordinates.

During Kronos' rule, he would eventually succumbed to the curse of Gaia, unleashing the Demonism contained inside him. This vicious personality eventually caused him to fall into the path of the evil as it twisted and warped his personality, causing him to become paranoid of all the gods. This included his children as he swallowed them into a sub-space dimension inside himself in order to keep them "safe". Rhea resented Kronos and managed to save at least one of their children, Zeus to safety. Escaping Olympus with her son, Rhea began raising Zeus to help her defeat Kronos and help him recover from his insanity. However instead of following his mother's wishes, Zeus instead opted to kill his father.

With the death of Kronos and having their pantheon confined into the Obelisk and further being restrained by the Tower's system, Rhea handed the throne of Olympus to Zeus and took back her hand away from their affairs after.

During the early days of the Tower, Rhea's psychological health was shown to have greatly diminished and worsened, with her having confined herself to the arts in order to cope with her unhappiness at the loss of her husband. Painting wishful scenes with a hard expression of her family reuniting and happily together with her six children.

After Zeus had been defeated and severely cursed by the Heavenly Demon and later being defeated by All-for-One, Zeus approached his mother in order to ask for her assistance in leading Olympus and perhaps remove the curse. However seeing her miserable due to missing Kronos and her attempting to cope her yearnings using her art only enraged Zeus, causing him to lash out and destroy her work while reminding her that Kronos was long dead. This in turn angered Rhea, who reminded him that she never asked him to kill his father. Zeus eventually left Rhea's apartments in frustration.

With Hades's help, Rhea had begun to quitely gather information on the Obelisk and learn about the true the reason for its creation and true purpose and its relationship to the Heavenly Demon and the Black King. With her soon realizing that her husband had reincarnated in the world where the Black King's body was located due to his close relationship to him as his Apostle.

Hence, she followed in Kronos footsteps and surrendered her godhood to leave the tower.

Rhea then successfully managed to reincarnate to Earth as Shin Leah and reunite with Kronos' current reincarnation. Together, the two fixed their relationship and remarried each other as human, and surprisingly they had two twin sons, Cha Yeon-woo and Cha Jeong-woo.

However, overtime Rhea’s mortal body had begun leaking divine energy after sacrificing her godhood, which in turn began negatively affecting her physical health of her human body. Kronos went off in order to search for a solution, leaving the twins in her care. She raised the two by herself, despite her weakening body and the signs of her worsening heatlh, this caused Jeong-woo to seek out a cure for her. This eventuallt caused him to choose to willingly enter the Tower.

Learning of her son's disappearance and realizing that he entered the Tower, she contacts Kronos, who then chases after him into the Obelisk.

Eventually, as her human body reached its limit, Rhea decided to abandone it and use her powers to leave Earth in search for Jeong-woo and Kronos, leaving Yeon-woo alone who experienced his brother's disappearance and mother's death.

## Powers & Abilities

As one of the Titans and one of Ouranos's adoptive children, Rhea was stated to be immensely powerful, with her strength easily surpassing the lesser Gods within Olympus and rivaling her other adoptive siblings.

### Nature Affinity

Rhea has a high affinity with nature due to her status as a goddess of the earth. It has been noted that although her gardening skills are lacking, she still likes to care for them and she had the tendency to adopt and care for stray animals, both as a Goddess and Human.

During her time in Olympus, Rhea had raised two pets in Olympus together with her husband Kronos. As noted, these two pets would become immensely powerful beings, who had power and strength comparable to the Summer Queen and surpassed the average Gods. With one of them even becoming Rhea’s “shadow” and infused with a part of her Holy Power.

### Space

Rhea is a direct descendant of the Quirinale Family, an ancient clan of Gods who pursued mastery over the concept of "Space". Because of this, Rhea posses the natural affinity to manipulate and control space as she pleases, with it being implied that she could create pocket dimensions, teleport across dimensions and planets and control space to create numerous effects.

As observed by the Demonisms of the Black King, Rhea herself was perhaps the most powerful descendant of the Quirinale Family to date, having been able to successfully locate the "Abyss" where the Black King and his Ego’s resides using her power over [Space], a feat that no transcendent beings has even been able to accomplish before.

* **Quirinale’s Space:** The core Power of the Quirinale's family, this ability allows Rhea to create a "Space" where she can exert the same level of Power of a "Creator" God. Rhea herself first showcased this power against the Black King's ego's, allowing her to completely repel them despite being weakened. This ability is inherited strongly by her youngest son, Cha Jeong-woo.

## Trivia

* Similar to her older son and granddaughter, Rhea has been implied to have a very bad and childish sense when naming things.
