" i know it's good to learn, i just ... " stares at the nearest aquarium, suspicious of what's swimming around in it. nothing truly offensive: angel fish, the lone puffer fish, a handful of colorful ones she's never seen before, but the whole thing gives her the creeps. she rubs her arms, standing closer to the door than someone on one of the guided tours should, trying not to sound rude but — ugh. how'd she get roped into this? " i just think some things should stay outta sight, outta mind. " taps fingers to temples, a ward. " like that thing. what even is that fish? " all this learning makes her thirsty.

full biography / background

triggering / sensitive content warning: car mishap.

craved independence from childhood. hestia knew she wanted to get out on her own and watched people around her be lazy, says she wants nothing to do with that. her family has a reputation in merrock for that, and she wants to defy the odds. if asked details, she doesn't go into them; so far as she's concerned now it's in the past and that's where it stays. but she remembers walking to school and doing her lemonade and tea stands and trying out ways to get her own money made. this included working on cars.

she trialed at the mechanic shop, not knowing anything. she was there at 16 and kept going up until she finished community college. then a narrow miss: she was almost caught underneath a car when the jack broke. thankfully it was nothing more than a narrow miss but the fear stayed with her and drove her into other odd jobs. she bounced around, not keeping many, then got nervous. what if this means she really is like the people she left behind? they moved out of merrock and she didn't go with them. was she really going to keep being like that or so she thought?

no. she liked cars the best and likes being able to fix her own when it breaks down, so she decided to get back into it. she's been working in the office to be around them even if she hasn't gotten brave to be an actual mechanic again. plenty of time for that. she fills her time with a lot of community work and volunteering, and pushes against the status quo wherever she can. it means asking questions others don't want to ask which is fine with her. she hates not knowing and being left in the dark; there's a reason she's still single.

overall she likes being simple. isn't one to crave chaos and if she does, she likes being at the heart of it. gossiping at the coffee shop gives her more happiness than traveling the world for example. nothing wrong with liking the small town life, even if she's growing more suspicious of her small town every day.
