Toxaris

Tropse Koritsi (Apprentice Chef)

Quilla (Archer)

Originally from Iceni, Briton, Toxaris spent most of her childhood traveling across the countries and the continent with her elder sister, Phoebe.

On coming across the country, Greece, they were amazed by how exotic and beautiful it was and decided to stay in the place near a city named Delphi in which they lived until Toxaris was seventeen. By then, Phoebe fell in love with the village blacksmith and was due to marry the following winter. But, destiny had other plans for the village and for both sisters.

Toxaris stared musingly up at the blanket of stars, trying to make out the pictures the village folk spoke so winningly about. Taking a deep breath, her concentration wandered to her parents whose fate had been worse.

When Toxaris was six, both her parents were killed by the Romans when they tried to flee to Gaul. Luckily, Toxaris and Phoebe were down by the harbor waiting to board ship. On seeing this slaughter, the girls, in fear of being captured, managed to get on the boat and escape.

Now at sixteen, Toxaris watched the stars twinkle and people making merry on such a miraculous night. But as all was well and done, Toxaris heard sudden screams of women and boisterous shouts of men as they ran to their homes to protect their family members. Quickly standing, Toxaris panicked, running to find her sister who was with her fiancé down at the local tavern.

"Toxaris, we must flee!" Her sister shouted once she had found her. Her hands clutched at Toxaris’ arms and her eyes were wide with fear.

"Where is Peter?" Toxaris asked, running out of sight.

"He was shot with a bow!" Phoebe called back over the screams.

Toxaris and Phoebe ran only a slight distance when Toxaris heard her sister’s cries. Quickly turning round, she witnessed something she’d rather not mention, but only say her sister now lies with both her parents in peace.

Feeling hunted and alone, a fear that she hoped would never happen; Toxaris carried on running, stopping only to eat and sleep. This went on for five months before stumbling across a much more beautiful land called Themiscyra. This is where she met a tribe of Amazons who kindly brought her in. The Amazons taught her fascinating arts of weaponry and cooking along with many others.

Toxaris is now eighteen years of age and is described as having waist long, mahogany hair with deep set brown eyes. She isn’t tall nor small for her age, standing at 5’5. Toxaris is slim and well toned; her skin color is a medium olive. She also has some sort of Iceni symbol upon her left cheek that she had when first born. She is a skilled archer and swordswoman. Her totem is the panther.
