Character background (Highlights):

• Ped is the eldest of Identical Triplets. Her two sisters Jep and Gem are her confidants, when the trio aren't annoying each other. The only noticible difference between the "Princess Royal" is their eye color. Ped has Blue Eyes, Jep has Violet colored eyes, and Gem has Golden-Yellow eyes.
  
• Ped has a younger brother (by 5 years) named Brun.
  
• All Four siblings are trained casters... and all atteneded the Second Annual Solstice Party... which caused confusion because the sisters all dressed similar.
  
• Unlike her siblings though, Ped was trained in WHOOP @$$ production, Midwifery, Exotic Dancing, and Flute playing.

• At 12, the age of majority in Syra, Ped refused to Ascended to the Throne of Syra, as was expected of her... and she fled.
  
• She spent three seasons among some east-west caravaners, as a guard, despite her age. It was here she earned her nickname of "Anala" which means "Beautiful Warrioress".
  
• An incident caused her to leave the caravaning life behind... and she wandered for a few seasons.

• Ped discovered the Amazon tribe of Melosa while in Greece, at the age of 14.
  
• Ped, using the name Anala, was adopted by the Hunt Leader of this tribe as a
  daughter... because this Amazon was barren, and wanted to leave her "right of caste" to a Daughter.
  
• Ped received this right of caste at 17, when her adoptive mother was killed.
  
• She left the Amazon Nation a year later, and wandered around once more.

• Since Ped was now an Amazon, she earned money as a Mercenary, hiring herself out to Kings, and Warlords... When she felt the need.
  
• This is when Ped met Joxer and his family.
  
• Also She met Draco for the first time only a few months after she left the Amazons. To this day neither will fully tell the events that took place, only that slavery was involved (They each tried to sell the other.... Ped was successful), and somehow Sake was consumed. These events have Draco calling Ped, "Giggles" or "My Darling Giggles".
  

• About three years ago, Ped was captured by a Warlord named Sysco.
  
• She escaped with the help of his sister, Sophitia (or Sophi).
  
• Since that time they have traveled together, calling each other sidekick.

• 22 months ago the pair joined the temple of Ares, Sophi as a Guard and Ped as a Priestess.
  
• Both were dedicated to the War God... despite his continuing frustration at Ped keeping herself "Under the Protection of Victory".
  
• Ped and Sophi left the temple for about three months during it's first year... for matters related to Ped's homeland.
• Ped disappeared for two weeks time in the following fall, her activities and whereabouts she is strangely noncommunicative about. Although there have been rumors of time travel and cross-dimensional antics.
  
• Ped returned from this trip greatly increased in ability and power... and strangely haunted. This caused her to spend many nights at the Temple of Cupid.
  
• After the first Solstice party, Ped returned home for a short time... to become *THE* Ascended Crown Princess of her people. Her sisters gave up their claims to the throne at this time... so only Brun can possibly lead their people.

Personality Traits: Ped is a WACKO! I mean, She's a member of the WACKO team so that should explain a lot. She's extremely loyal to her friends... even if she does get a bit harsh with them sometimes. She has an extremely low tolerance for stupidity. Serious and quiet when alone, but in public Ped is flirty and outspoken.

Hero worships: Kas, Her mistress or teacher. She does admire some Grecian heros, but claims that none can compare to the legendary Kas!
