DISTINGUISHING FEATURES
[/li][li] rhea has a shorter thumb than normal people because of the fact that she lost part of it when she was young. she got it stuck into a door and it was so badly hurt that they had to remove it, thus leaving her with no nail on her left thumb.
CLOTHING STYLE
rhea’s could be described as tomboy, really. she doesn’t really give a damn about what she wears. she’s always outside anyway, so she doesn’t see the point in being dressed up. she generally wears jeans, sneakers and a simple t-shirt. skirts, dresses and heels are an absolute nightmare for her, considering that she’s always running around due to her hyperactivity. so she sticks with jeans and shorts to be free to move in any way.

BEST MEMORY
around the age of four, rhea started taking care of their garden with her mother. it was at that age that she was given the full responsibility of the cucumbers. with her hardwork and without using any of her powers (she had not yet discovered them), she managed to grow the cucumbers perfectly. holding the life in her little hands, she felt as though she had accomplished one of the greatest thing in the whole world.
WORST MEMORY
her parents had always been big on travelling. so, when she was twelve, they decided to go to the amazonian forest. when they flew over it and she saw the damage that had been done to this lung of our planet, the girl cried for hours. she still has nightmares where she sees man cutting the trees and destroying everything on their path.
LONG-TERM GOAL
even if she had not been an earth elemental and did not feel this strong connection to mother earth, rhea still would have been a fervent ecologist. this is why her long-term goal is to defend nature in any way possible. she plans on building a group o earth elementals to go to the amazonian forest and take care of as many trees as they can while also replanting some.

HISTORY
let’s start at the beginning, shall we? rhea was born to two people who, when they met, would have never thought they were going to get married and even less have children together. but it happened. arethusa marie thermapolis was a greek water elemental who moved to canada when she discovered that she had such abilities – the elemental gene had disappeared from her bloodline for three generations. she entered the academy with only one thing in mind, master her abilities. prometheus justin olmstead, born to two wind elemental parents who were obsessed with greek mythology, was a canadian fire elemental who’s only goal in life was to have fun and travel the world. he did not care about his abilities, even if he came from one of the supposedly purest bloodlines of elementals. the two met at the academy, of course. but since one was a water, and the other was a fire, they would always try to rip each other’s head off. to be completely honest, they hated each other’s guts throughout their entire “high school” years. but once they both graduated the same year, arethusa decided to move back to greece with her parents since her heart was truly there while prometheus started living his dream of travelling the world. he went through several countries and a few years had passed before a chance encounter brought the two back together. faith wanted that they barely remembered why they were so hostile to one another. they talked, went out a few times before it was official. prometheus decided to stay in greece longer than he had planned but they decided it would be best for them to move back to canada together. it was shortly after they arrived that they found out arethusa was pregnant. they had not planned for things to get serious so early on, but they accepted it nonetheless and got married just before the baby came along. their first daughter, rhea, was born.
as soon as she learned that her mother was the one who named her, rhea was certain that the woman had some kind of psychic ability to see the future. it turned out that, by the age of four, they found out their only – soon to be oldest – daughter, was as much into protecting the environment as they were. they thought her how to take care of plants and animals. it was then that arethusa found out she was pregnant again with the couple’s second child. they were happy, earlier on, that they had decided to move to canada together. it was much better this way. after all, the two of them being elementals, this was where they belonged, after all, in maple hollow with prometheus’s family living nearby. rhea had a rather uneventful childhood. she grew up to be a kind and caring child who was very loyal to her friends. she went to elementary school, just like any other little girl. in the courtyard, instead of getting her teachers, she would be the one breaking a fight and standing between her two peers to try and figure a peaceful solution. however, whenever she found someone who was being picked on and there was no way to peacefully solve this, she would get in the way and refuse to back down until they stopped. she hated having to to use violence, really. but if it meant saving an innocent soul, she would have done anything. even then, she was a great defender of the peace. as she grew even older, she started projects at her school such as a garden where they would grow biological vegetables and fruits. she started being vegetarian at the age of nine. she would even have refused to eat plants if it meant saving their lives. but her mother knocked some sense into her when she told the young girl that it was all part of nature. as long as she took great care of her planet, it would have no trouble reproducing the plants she had just eaten for her meal. this is how rhea became a fervent ecologist.
on her fourteenth birthday, the family happily discovered that the elemental gene had been passed down to their first child. even though it was an element that was completely opposite to his own, her father was happy for her. however, a few months ago, in may, when they discovered that her younger sister was a water elemental just like their mother, her father, for whatever reason he had, started being more impatient towards his daughters. certainly, this is due to the fact that none of them is like him. for this, rhea holds a grudge against her father. being completely submerged in the world of elementals during her entire childhood, she understands perfectly the tensions that go on at the academy. her own father is still thinking like that and so she promised herself never to get involved into such fights if it was going to affect her her entire life. she never really got into physical fights with fire or thunder elementals. but she would often get into trouble because of what she deeply believes in. whenever she would see someone disrespectigng nature in any possible way, the ecologist inside her would awaken. this is when her peacekeeper side disappears and she becomes an argumentative, annoying little brat, as many have put it. but no matter the insults, she has not given up yet. she keeps going around, trying to convince her peers that they should follow her in her attempt to save mother earth. and she will keep doing so her entire life.
