History Summary: Danielle lives with her grandmother. Her mother was a drug addicted drop-out and runaway who essentially forgot to have another abortion in time. She nevertheless tried to take care of Danielle for a couple of years but found the responsibility too much and turned back to drugs, including dealing them, as an easier alternative to trying to balance a menial job and day care. Danielle's grandmother found out and turned her in to the authorities, not so much from concern for Danielle's safety as because it was the high-moral-ground right-thing-to-do. Danielle's grandmother is very fond of such attitudes and nice strict rules. However, Danielle found out fairly soon that appearances are good enough when no one really cares about you, and the stricter the rule the easier to find a loophole. Even knowing this, sometimes in early school years the shell would crack and she'd get into a physical fight, blowing out all the pent-up rage. Some counselor had the bright idea of Aikido classes as a way of controlling and channeling this, and it worked somewhat.

Cimeara
Harmodius (Creator: Ivynian): "Mr. Harmon." Quite the hunk, even if his hair does that odd multi-colour thing. He doesn't speak in the clearest of terms, either. But he gets major points for leaving the stone.
Gianfer (Knowledge: Xiao Ren): haven't met
Byrne (ReBirth: Chaeval): haven't met
Eamnonn (Hunt: Perri Indiya): haven't met

TLai (Angst: Nevn/Arrikanez): haven't met (second journal)
Illumin (Light: Sosiqui): haven't met
Khiviance (Love: Jonathan/Mintaka): Blonde with all that implies. Tries to act in charge but a few questions and it's clear she either doesn't pay attention or doesn't understand the importance of details. And she smokes, yuck.
Lisana (Laughter: Eftemie): haven't met
Evadne (Mountain: Trivii): haven't met
Echo (Music: Fleur/Zero Dream): haven't met
Panacea (Medicine: Memi/Maskedquerade): haven't met

Tilion (Lunar: Idhren/Ithiltari): haven't met
Kishara (Gaia: Pell-Mell/Lady_Ourania): Makes you wonder what gods see in their hosts if this piece of street refuse gets a stone. But I need to play it cooler with her, she can play insults as well as I can, but I'll bet she can't compete on other grounds.
The Dragon Kings

Forge
Alias: Hephaestus, Vulcan, Brighid, Brigid, Brigit, Belisama, Inari, Ishikore-dome, Wayland Smith, etc.
Often not the most beautiful to look upon, Forge's soot stained face was nonetheless one of the most worshipped by mortals. Forge brought smith crafts to mortal man, and taught them how to work iron, copper, silver, gold and steel. Without Forge, man's future would have scantly progressed.
Keeper of the Forge and a master of Fire, the smith gods were creative, cunning, an able metal workers. They were of the younger gods, believed to be progeny of Home and Thunder, or of the great Stone. Forge mastered her art quickly and became a necessity to the gods around her, fashioning their armor, weapons and personal belongings such as mirrors, thrones or beds. The greatest weakness of Forge was her love of liquor. To the greeks, wine was the best offering, and to the Japanese it was sake that was left at the doors to the Temple of the Smith.
