History:

 Back in Ancient Greece, when Tisamenus took control over the throne of Thebes after his father’s death, Acacallis married Tisamenus. They had three children together, Demonassa, the youngest, and the twins Elpdia and Autesion, who later took over the throne after his father.

Elpdia and Autesion were raised by nurses, and couldn’t be closer. When Autesion turned 10, he left the nurse’s care and started to be around the men, learning to hunt, ride horses, and run a country under the careful guidance of his father.

Elpdia spent most of her time with the women, spinning and weaving inside while her brother played outside. Elpdia was not very happy. She disliked being inside all day, and wanted to be out with her brother, running around and playing. She most certainly did not want to be a wife. Elpdia had spurned Aphrodite (Love) to remain a steadfast and virginal devotee of Artemis.

Her parents, however, had other plans. She became betrothed to a young man of nobility, Apterus. She was very unhappy with this, and despite her protests, the wedding date was set. Her parents just thought she was trying to get out of the marriage. But Elpida, was in fact, favored by Artemis. Elpida always sacrificed the best parts to her, and prayed to her nearly every day for guidance.

A day before the wedding, Elpida cried and begged Artemis to come a save her from being married. Artemis heard her prayer, and appeared in front of her with the hunters. She invited Elpida to join the hunt, and Elpida agreed, saying the oath without a moment of hesitation. She left Thebes with her new sisters and never looked back.

Artemis appeared on the wedding day to the guests, and said that Elpdia was under her patronage. Of course, no one dared defy a goddess, and certainly not Artemis. The wedding was canceled, and Apterus ended up marrying her sister, Demonassa a few years later.

Elpida had been in the hunt for a year or so, when a thought suddenly occurred to her. She was not the Elpida of the House of Thebes. She was a huntress. She decided to change her name. She picked Agrotera, a rarely used epithet of Artemis. She took on a name of the goddess she loved the most, her sister. To avoid confusion, she goes by Terra, but the meaning remains close to her heart.

For next 7000+ years, Terra stayed with the hunters and had some of the best years of her life. Fast forward to the 21st century, current day and time. Terra had taken on the surname Papadopoulos, taking on the name of a fallen hunter, Delia Papadopoulos, whom she was very close to before her death fighting a dragon. Delia had been her best friend, and no she was just… gone.

Overcome with grief, Terra said nothing to anyone for nearly a month. She drank and ate barely enough to survive. Though Artemis assured her that Delia went to Elysium, it didn’t make her feel much better. She felt like it was her fault that Delia died.

<p class="MsoNormal">Artemis felt that for Terra’s well-being, that she should take a break from the hunters until she felt better about her friend’s death. Artemis offered to take Terra to camp, who agreed warily. That night, Terra was dropped off at camp to recover from the tragic loss of her friend.
