  Althea Bellecourt

Head Counselor of Boreas' Cabin

(This Character Belongs to GirlofDelusion )

  History  The House of Morreaux is a cadet branch consisting of some of the many pretenders to the throne of the House of Bourbon. While most of the pretenders are publicly rivaled, living in France, the House of Morreaux calls for a truce between families who find connections specific to the heirs of Louis XIV and Louis XV's children who moved to New France. Some of their descendants eventually retreated from Canada, moving on to Oceania, Europe, South America or the United States, forming three branches; the Furier branch, Louis XIV's heirs, hailing from Tadoussac to Oceania; the Morrell branch, Louis XV's heirs, hailing from Port-Royal to South America and the United States, and the Bellecourt branch, either staying within Quebec or hailing to Europe. The members of the House of Morreaux and its branches are nearly always wealthy and powerful.

Celine Bellecourt is one of those from her branch who never left Quebec, sustaining proudly the branch surname. Celine grew up without any knowledge of her mother's identity, raised single-handedly by Charles Bellecourt, Canadian minister who eventually passed on without the opportunity to confess to his daughter that she is in fact a daughter of Athena, which would explain her odd gifts and encounters with strange creatures that Charles reassured her were entirely fruits of her imagination. She suspected otherwise. She went on to become a reputed historian, philosopher and arctic explorer. She instantly caught Boreas' eye as he was pursuing a suitor. He wanted to find out more.

Boreas approached her as a historian from Ottawa, seeking her aid in writing a book on the French Revolutionary Wars. Boreas instantly grew to love Celine as she went on with helping him in research. Celine, fascinating and intriguing to Boreas, was later told by him that he is settling down permanently in Quebec. From this point on, he started to pursue her, only to find out that while she appreciates him greatly, her feelings toward him are completely platonic. Boreas wouldn't give up. He kept going until Celine threatened to refuse to see him.

Boreas decided to stop bothering Celine, until he found out that she was in fact a daughter of Athena's. Unsure of what to do with this knowledge, he took Athena's counsel and decided that Celine deserved to be aware of her godly blood. Boreas approached her in a dream and revealed the entire truth. Celine finally put an end to her frustration. It all added up. Celine became grateful and asked Boreas if there was anything she could do for him. He simply requested she agrees to imbue his essence with his into ice to bear them a child. She agreed. His last request was for her to name the child Althea. He then seemingly vanished.

Althea grew up in the lap of luxury, having quite a comfortable upbringing, going to the best schools and touring the world. She was fascinated with her mother's work, and often helped her with it. She saw the greatness of her ancestors, and ever since, she has wanted to be as influential on the world's future as them. She was very intelligent and was in a faster-paced class, with a scholarship program, for the entirety of her studies. She went on trips to the Arctic many times with her mother. Althea turned 12, and Boreas reapppeared, asking of Celine to send her daughter to camp, yet she refused, not wanting to let go of her daughter. Boreas repeatedly asked of Celine to listen to his wishes, yet Celine kept refusing, until Althea turned 17, when a manticore attacked their home, Celine protecting her daughter with weapons Boreas had given her for emergencies. After slaying the monster, Celine decided this was the time to send Althea to safety. She revealed her lineage to Althea, and sent her off to camp on a pegasus her father sent her.

 * She attains the ability to call upon a focused ice storm which freezes a small area into solid ice, trapping anyone in the area within it; this effect does not last long.

Defensive:
 * She can create a dome shaped torrent of wind, roughly two or three times her own size, which can be used to block attacks for a very short time.
 * She possesses the ability to create a small tornado, of about her own size, which can be used to block projectile attacks for a short time.

Passive:
 * She is stronger in the cold.

Supplementary:
 * She can hover or fly, however, the longer she does this the more it drains her.
 * She has the ability to turn pure water into ice at will using a cold breeze.
 * She can call upon a massive snow flurry which obstructs view and lowers the body temperature of all that are susceptible.

Exclusive:
 * She can create armor and weaponry out of pure ice which is quite sharp; however, it is also fragile and must be mended or replaced often, which uses up large amounts of energy.

Traits:
 * She is able to withstand any cold temperatures.
 * She is ambidextrous.
 * She is a big intellectual and is very wise.
