Sharing more of my culture🤺🤺🤺

The title of Cumaean Sibyl was actually from the high Italic priestess, who presided over the oracle of Apollo, and Hecate. located in the Magna Graecia city of Cuma . She carried out her oracular activity near Lake Avernus , in a cave known as the " Cave of the Sibyl " where the priestess, inspired by the divinity, transcribed her prophecies in hexameters on palm leaves which, at the end of the prediction, were mixed by the winds coming from the hundred openings of the cave, making the prophecies "sibylline", that is, difficult and uncertain to interpret. Her importance in the Italic world was equal to that of the famous oracle of Apollo of Delphi in Greece .

These Sibyls were young virgins, who were thought to be able to live longer than ordinary mortals (which is why they are sometimes depicted as decrepit old women), who performed divinatory activities , entering a state of trance ( furor ).

The etymology of the Italian Sibilla derives from the Latin Sibylla , which in turn refers to the ancient Greek Σῐ́βυλλᾰ ( Síbulla ). Although the hypothesis remains uncertain, going back to the Doric Σίοβολλα ( Síobolla ), it is hypothesized that its meaning can be found in the Attic Θεοβούλη ( Theoboúlē ), that is, “divine will”.

So here is a drawing for now

New TOH OC 3/3 (for now!) More Delphy lore under the cut :)

An old classmate and close friend of Murph and Steve. Best friends with Ragnus. She graduated a year before Murph did.

Delphy was Murph's first friend at Glandus after they transferred from St Epiderm at age 11. She took them under her wing and showed them the ropes, and eventually they set up a Grudgby team together with their other friend Ragnus (Steve joins a few years later). She's got a dry, cynical sense of humour and a very no-nonsense way of giving out advice, but she does care about her friends a lot and will always stick up for them. It's very hard to make her properly mad but when she loses her temper she's a force to be reckoned with. She's the oldest of five siblings and she takes on the big sister role for Murph too; she's the only one who knows the true extent of Murph's teenage feelings for Steve and has to stay up for hours at sleepovers listening to them agonising over it. She is 100% convinced Steve also feels the same way, but has a rule of never meddling directly in other people's relationships, so she just has to sit (im)patiently and watch these two idiots fawn over each other in mutual ignorance. She has no real interest in romance herself but always gives sensible, honest advice (coaches don't play).

As an adult she sails the Boiling Seas, hunting down whaling ships and protecting sea monsters from poachers. Because several of those ships belonged to the Emperor's Coven, in their hunt for the Selkiedomus, she's been branded a pirate by the Coven. She has a huge disdain for the EC after seeing how they're stripping the natural world of its resources (something she can't imagine the Titan ever abiding) and rarely sets foot on land these days. Her palisman Wingston is based off a jetty hawk (basically what if a seagull was the size of a goose??) and Wingifred is a real jetty hawk that she tamed while out at sea. Wingifred is in love with Wingston and thinks he's a real bird.

1 & 3 for Delphy for the ask thing?? (btw her design FUCKS you're so insane for this /pos)

Yay I'm so glad you like her!! I love ocean themed character designs 💙

1..What’s the lie your character says most often?

"Everything's gonna be fine/don't worry about it." It's not always an intentional lie but she does have a habit of downplaying situations and maybe giving people the impression it's not as serious as it actually is. It's mostly to shut down people freaking out over something she perceives as no big deal but sometimes it is in fact A Big Deal and she has given them terrible advice

3. How often do they show their genuine emotions to others versus just the audience knowing?

Pretty often. She's very upfront about her emotions and will be honest if something is bothering her, although as mentioned above she does have a habit of downplaying things that should maybe be taken more seriously, and doesn't like to admit when she's stressed

Send me a number and an OC!
