New Demigod Cabin: Opora

Opora is a minor Greek goddess of fruit and the autumn harvest. She doesn't have an exact Roman equivalent but Pomona is similar. Opora attracted the attention of the star god Sirius, who is associated with the "dog days" of summer. He burned hotter and hotter as his love for Opora remained unrequited, scorching the earth. Eventually mortals cried out and the north wind god Boreas sent his sons to bring Opora to Sirius, making the story a sort of parallel to the one of Helios' son Phaethon.

Opora's cabin is full of fruit snacks, candy, fruit itself, and lots of fruity drinks and smoothies. There is a tree that has all kinds of fruit growing on it, while many different birds inhabit the tree. A small fruit garden is attached to the back of the cabin. An orangutan named Amber watches over the cabin. Opora's children tend to eat healthy and many are vegetarian. They can also identify which fruits are edible and which ones are poison, though they themselves are immune to all poisonous fruit. Opora's children often hang out with demigod children of Dionysus, Demeter, and Graces. among others. They carry a bag of seeds in their pockets which can grow quickly to provide fruit.

Opora's children can inflict scurvy on enemies, and they often have weapons dipped in poison. They can also summon bees and other pollinators, and some can even turn into fruit-eating creatures. They are also decent healers due to their knowledge of fruits and herbs.

Even though religion in general would not have the same significance for ethereal/occult beings as it does for humanity, it is my personal headcanon that the feast day honoring Guardian Angels is important to Crowley. Now that Crowley and Aziraphale no longer have to hide from Heaven and Hell, I find it hard to imagine that Crowley isn’t pulling out all the stops. 

This isn’t my usual writing style, but I was having so much fun imagining this little concept that I couldn’t help but write it. I threw this together really quickly (because I wanted to post it on the actual guardian angels feast day...which didn’t quite happen) so there’s probably some clunky phrasing, but a badly written story is better than no story at all, right?
