act one: pheme (greek: Φήμη)
daughter of elpis (spirit of hope). goddess of rumors, gossip and fame, pheme is a great communicator and messenger for gods and mortals.
lives in a palace with "1000 windows and many doors, which are always open, and it is made of echoing bronze, which amplifies every whisper, from the most far away places in the world.", as described by ovid
starts rumors by whispering them quietly at first, and gradually amplifies her voice until it gets louder until everyone knew.
(w/n: more pheme things if you’re curious: one two three )
act two: renata widhiasti
tired of living in the clouds, pheme decided to took up the form of a woman in her mid-20s. she is now renata, an editor of a well-known women's publication and a personal stylist for the rich and famous.
her easy demeanor and "sixth sense" in sensing scandals made rena quickly gains recognition in the entertainment world. this widens her network and thus, her opportunity to discover more gossip and juicy secrets.
if her clients play nice, they usually rose to fame after working with her, securing good reputation and finding new career opportunities. the unlucky ones, however, have mysteriously get caught in scandals and gossips that spreads faster than wildfires.
since she is, technically, still a messenger goddess, she occasionally relays news and messages from gods to their demigods. not one of her favorite tasks, but she'd rather take it rather than being thrown to the cracks of the earth or whatever.
between being an editor, stylist, and messenger, she enjoys a good night out with friends and colleagues, bad karaoke, and spending time with her four rescue cats.
