CONTENT WARNINGS: MENTIONS OF PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL & SEXUAL ABUSE

Macaria, mostly referred to by her nickname Maci (pronounced MACK-ee), is the main character of the Elysium'verse... according to her. The daughter of King Hades and Queen Persephone, she is the Crown Princess of the Underworld, and the Goddess of the Elysian Fields. Maci is a short-tempered nymphomaniac brat, admittedly with several tragic backstories, sloooowly but surely becoming a better person over time… millennia… eventually.

Appearance

Maci’s physical appearance is that of a young woman in her early twenties despite being over 2,000 years old. She has light pink skin, violet eyes, and very long neon yellow-blonde wavy hair, which reaches down to her ankles when it’s released from her signature ponytail. She has fangs and pointed ears: two traits passed down from her father, while the rest of Maci’s standard color scheme matches her mother’s traditional look. She is 6’0” tall.

Maci’s typical hairstyle features two face-framing pieces of hair, with the rest pulled back and up. True to the standard of the Underworld, Maci wears goth makeup, e.g. heavy black eyeshadow, exaggerated winged eyeliner, and black lipstick, and she is always dressed in black chitons, which are usually arranged to be extremely low-cut and formfitting.

An important part of Maci’s everyday outfit is her wide black choker necklace, sometimes stylized as a tied black scarf/fabric material. This choker disguises the faded remnants of a scar across her throat from centuries ago and she is rarely seen publicly without it.

Her signature chiton pin is a skull.

Powers & abilities

As a goddess, Maci shares the basic abilities most deities possess, such as full immortality, teleportation, and the ability to summon objects at will.

Maci is pyrokinetic and has the ability to create and manipulate fire, as well as (to a lesser degree) smoke. She is fully flame-proof and heat-proof and is able to completely burst into flame on command, or uncontrollably when emotionally triggered by strong emotion such as anger or fear. When “flaring up,” Maci’s eyes turn fully yellow, her skintone changes to orange, and her hair is overtaken by orange flame.

Personality

On a surface level, Maci is loud, brash, and aggressively outgoing. She is self-absorbed, always flirtatious, very promiscuous, and has no filter; she will often share her opinions and thoughts regardless of how egregious or offensive they may be. Unfortunately immature, Maci will throw a fit when things don’t go her way, or if she doesn’t get what she wants – her upbringing involved very little of the word “no.” She has a short fuse and can blow up (literally) from 0 to 100 in anger on a hairline trigger.

Much of Maci’s aggressively boisterous demeanor has been carefully constructed as a shell after a childhood and past history of neglect and abuse, and beneath that air of stuck-up confidence is a goddess who is insecure and desperate to be loved. She will do literally anything to win the fleeting attention of anyone, a ripple effect from being ignored and put down during her formative years.

Maci’s best and redeeming personality trait is her overwhelming love and loyalty to her family and friends (who are more like her family). She is intensely, fiercely protective of the people within her bubble, and will do anything to keep them safe and at her side – and will raise hell on behalf of anyone who’s been hurt. To be loved by Maci is to be adoringly suffocated.
