§ . r e l a t i o n s h i p . While Cadence enjoys the gift of beauty, the relationship with her mother seems to be a one-way street. On one hand, Aphrodite can show love and affection whenever she feels like she should. On the other hand, when Cadence really needs her mother, she finds her outcry for maternal support leaving much to be desired. Over time, she has learned not to rely too heavily on her mother, understanding that she does as she pleases and whenever she pleases. They have a relationship that isn't exactly stranger, yet it is also not strained. They have a good middle ground that is both supportive and spacious with freedom, but Cadence can't say that she would depend on her mother when she needs her.

§ . e y e s . deep russet brown
§ . h a i r . shoulder-length, deep chocolate, choppy cut
§ . h e i g h t . 5'6"
§ . w e i g h t . 127 lbs.
§ . p h y s i q u e . svelte, yet femine
§ . s k i n . gentle honey bronze
§ . d e s c r i p t i o n . It goes without saying that the daughter of Aphrodite is a natural beauty, in make-up and without. Short and choppy chocolate tresses frame her features and really brings out the warmth in her dark brown eyes. Her eyes are hooded, but that just means she has to be a little more tactful with her make-up placement. When she smiles it reaching every aspect of her face from the crinkling in the corners of her eyes to the slight scrunch of her nose. From sole to crown, she's perfectly groomed and molded gracefully by her mother.
Her sense of style is... whatever she feels like. While she observes the social norm regarding how much is too much, she also takes that extra step from time to time. Cadence may not walk around with her top off (but if it was legal, she probably would!), but she will sometimes don things that leave little to the imagination. After all, the woman is intuned with her sexuality and all of its inherent freedoms. For the most part, however, as crazy as this might sound--Cadence actually prefers a style that is light and breezy but clings playfully to all the right places. She loves pastels and high waisted shorts, billowing sleeves, loose-fitting dresses with a long slit, a pair of nice open toes heels or cute designer sandals. Cadence knows when to take a chance and when to be a little more conservative in dress.
As for make-up, she can live without it. Honestly, her make-up stash leaves most YouTube influencers with much more to be desired. On account of a flawless and unblemished complexion, she can forego concealers, powders, and all that face-covering stuff. She opts for things like a nice bronze eyeshadow, perhaps a cat-eye, a generous amount of mascara (but she mostly has her eyelashes done at a salon), and a pop of color on her lips. She's a real minimalist in this regard, which has always been great because not wanting to have too much clutter is a trait she picked up from her father.

§ . d e m e a n o r . flirty and friendly socialite
§ . f e a r s . sleeping in the dark, having her beauty taken away, abandonment, fire
§ . v i c e ( s) . sex
§ . d i s l i k e s . ciggarettes, being alone, whiskey
§ . l i k e s . painting at sunrise and sunfall, social gatherings of any kind, obviously making lots of love
§ . f l a w s . obsessed with her image, nosy in affairs of others, she can be jealous, easily-offended
§ . s t r e n g t h s . passionate about making others their best, artistic, loves a good social cause
§ . i n t e l l i g e n c e . Average; she did well in school, but she's not particularly interested in academia.
§ . p e r s o n a l i t y . She is charming, and it's not just those Aphrodite pheromones that draw people to her like a magnet. There's something sweet about her, and maybe a lot of that has to do with that soft southern drawl and the way she encourages others. It cannot be denied that she loves to be in crowded social situations like a great party, pep rally--anything where people are together. Having fun and living life just seems to come easy for her because she gets what she wants, and there's very little getting in the way of that. Yet, she isn't a conceited little shit. Vain about her appearance? Yes. Would she kill herself if she became ugly overnight? Probably, but she doesn't think she's better than anyone. At least, not out loud or in behavior. She loves to inspire people to love themselves, and she's pretty good at it. Everyone deserves love, life, and happiness.
It's important to note that, while she attracts people to her, Cadence is not a homewrecker. Luckily for her, she can calm a love-bitten admirer and remind them of their true partner in life. It isn't always flattering to be an object of desire, especially since she does little to no work for it. It is gifted to her, and she both enjoys the perks of her mother's power and sometimes resents it.
Aphrodite gifted her child with artistic ability. She's a master with the paintbrush and canvas. During those rare times when she is alone, one can find her outside with her paints and easel working on some new ideas.

§ . t e a m . support || rebellion
§ . g r a d e . senior
§ . s t r e n g t h s . alluring, multilingual, excellent liar, heightened social awareness, supernatural intuition, can tell a person's sexuality
§ . w e a k n e s s . physical strength is zilch, dark places, being in an unfamiliar place by herself, being separated from a group, insults to her physical appearance and character are extremely debilitating, no combat sense, it's hard to hold her own against her peers, fire
§ . p h y s i c a lx c o n d i t i o n i n g . Average for a typical human female her age and height. Cadence was not blessed with enhance physical conditioning like her peers. Her slim figure is a gift from Aphrodite, not out of hard work.
§ . a l l u r e . Whether it is those pesky Aphrodite pheromones or just Cadence's joyous and warm personality, people are drawn to her. All sorts of people--even bad people. Most of the time it's a great thing, but it causes a great amount of conflict in her life.
§ . p e r s u a s i o n . Aside from being able to manipulate love and lust, she can also manipulate other emotions. This helps her become extremely persuasive when necessary which seems to elicit behaviors she wants.
§ . a m o k i n e s i s . Like her other siblings, Cadence can manipulate love and lust in others. This does not have to be love in the romantic sense, but it can be friendly or parental love--even just a general kind of love. Love is so much more than what we see.
§ . m a n i p u l a t i o n . She can control and alter make-up, perfume, clothing, jewelry, and other beauty products.
§ Cadence lacks in the enhanced physical attributes that her peers share, but that is okay. Most of her abilities are rooted in love and lust, and everything those two realms encompass. Whilst she was gifted some more aggressive abilities like persuasion, she knows better than to use them because she's afraid. The idea of controlling people in evil ways is almost... unfathomable. People that are attracted to her gender will find themselves attracted to her, but she's not an intentional home-wrecker. She has great intuition even if her overall combat awareness leaves so, so, so much to be desired. Some children of Aphrodite can change appearances to that of which one desires most or find most attractive, but Cadence cannot.

Throughout her life, she has been loved, well-received, and the focal point of social situations from kindergarten storytime to high school dance parties. Something about her just drew people in, and she always thought that it must have been her personality. Cadence could do no wrong, even if she was, in fact, doing some wrong. The high school years marked times of light drugs like marijuana, sex with boys, and parties that she wasn't really allowed to be part of. She didn't need to be accepted by people, but it just so happened that all the wrong people were drawn to her. She got a little mixed up with different folks in her freshman and sophomore years, but she luckily had someone looking out for her.
It wasn't necessarily her mother, Aphrodite. It was her art teacher, Mrs. Hale. Mrs. Hale was like her mother away from home, and this sort of made Aphrodite a little jealous. Cadence was a master of the paintbrush, and she captivated other art students with her talent. Mrs. Hale was happy to have someone, for once, so enthusiastic about art and everything that encompassed it. Eventually, the bad crowds fell to the wayside of Cadence's newfound passion in life. By the time her junior year rolled around, Mrs. Hale succumbed illness and she passed away. This was a perfect opportunity for Aphrodite to swoop in and meet her daughter.
Aphrodite and Cadence met after a long period of lonely mourning over Mrs. Hale. While waiting for her school bus, a beautiful woman approached and embraced her out of seemingly thin air. Aphrodite confessed that she was Cadence's mother, and this was a bit shocking to her. The teenager didn't believe it at first, and the part of her that did wonder why her mother could wait so long to appear. She immediately rejected Aphrodite, but the goddess didn't take too well to this. She was downright offended. Later that night, Cadence's home caught on fire. She escaped but by the time the fire department could get there, her parents had already passed away from smoke inhalation. Unbeknownst to Cadence, just like Mrs. Hale, her step-parents became the victims of a vindictive goddess. Not that she'd ever come to know.
Aphrodite appeared before her once more, held out her hand, and comforted her daughter. They took a long walk in which Aphrodite would explain things and compell her to attend the boarding school for Demigods. She would spend the last couple months of her junior year there and now she's digging into her senior year. Cadence's relationship with her mother may be based on untruths and witholdings, but it is a decent one.
