A Paragraph About Personality In Depth: Thea tends to talk a bit much for her interests making it hard for people to understand what she is talking about. Sometimes she may come off as self-centered but she catches and stops herself. Trying her best to help people when needed whether it be emotional help or physical help. And when she cannot help she will seek to make it possible. Althea has problems apologizing to others even when she is not in the wrong.

History

Althea was born into Ireland but most shunned her even as a baby, for her dark hair was looked at as a curse. And as she aged she'd become bullied by the village kids, being called a 'witch' or the 'devil', this made Thea more of a quiet and apologizing type of soul. Her kindness however knew no bounds, even with the bullying and the hateful stares from the adults she did her best to keep her head high. And as she grew older she began to enjoy the nature around her, observing different plant life and the elements of the earth. Even after her single mothers death she took over the home making it plant friendly to further gain knowledge from them. Around this time she began learning to understand the spirits, along with the four elements of fire, earth, wind and water. Managing these into plant mixtures until she started making salves that were able to fix daily medical problems along with emotional problems.

And even after working with these elements for years Althea began to understand each and their effects towards her through meditation. As Fire brought protection, courage, and purification, her sense sight was brought to higher level. With the Earth it brought more guidance in understanding plantation on a high level, also allowing her sense of touch to become more noticeable. Then Air which brought knowledge, peace and awareness, her sense of smell and hearing became more vivid. And finally Water, which this sparked insightful dreams, emotions and feelings. Helping her meditation become even more lively, thus making her sense of taste more notable.

Then Althea began working with gemstones, understanding the elements through these. How each one varied in color, and effects and how they could be used in the incantations along with the elements. She began to collect, from the earth and from the markets. Buying assorted things like candles, incense, and small pieces of jewelry here and there. When she finally began learning incantations using all of her found gifts where she felt she became closer with spirits when doing this. This is when she decided to secretly get her spine tattooed, the wings represented the freedom and release of evil. The fire going up to burn the old and make new, this also represented the flame she had within her heart.

After some time the villagers began to approach Althea in hopes of her being able to help them. Expressing their gratitude as they began to notice Althea did actually help them emotionally and physically people began to heal. And even when she could not offer the help they had sought from her, Althea would always find a way to soothe their soul never giving up on finding ways to help. She had begun healing larger wounds, and even diseases and the townsfolk of the village began to see her almost as a Goddess aiding them when they needed it the most.

However, with the use of these gifts to help others the word spread quickly about Althea. People began to come to the village in hopes of being cured, or somehow fixed. Not everyone left happy completely but the kindness Althea offered only showed that there would be hope for them one day. Soon royalty began coming to her, even a prince in hopes for her to aid him. But what he needed was not something Althea could guide, for greed and hatred was something that could not be fixed. This figure decided her to be a fraud, witch and he would find justice for her lies. Forcing her to the kingdom where he had come from, Althea was tortured in front of groups. This is where she would found the calling of each element once more, being burned, drowned, and revived with air until her body was finally one with the earth.

Althea did not die in sadness but with a smile as she drew her last breath. Even if she regretted anything at all, she felt her duty had been done and she was not needed by the spirits anymore and that she could be one with them in the afterlife.
