Hola, welcome back to Eckheart! It's Lilliana here and today, I'm more than honoured to represent my mother's cabin! I won't deny, my mother is among one of the most noble gods out there (š
ļ¼ć„ļæ£3ļæ£ļ¼ć„āā¤ļøļ½)! I mean, who wouldn't want to be a part of Aphrodite's gorgeous cabin?
I'll be introducing another definite character in this series along with Keira Asar! She's an OC I've thought about for the long time period of 18 minutes. Presenting . . . Snowy Beauregard! She'll be a young and stunning addition to the main 12 adventurers (and also the sister of our Queen, Selena Beauregard)! Let's begin this character's intro- and what better way to do that than to display her wardrobe. You know the saying "Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak".
Thine child of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love, I welcome you to CHB through the eyes of Snowy Beauregard!
Training
As I said, making these outfits was an absolute honour for me. Choosing the perfect aesthetic for this was my duty as Aphrodite's daughter! My mother was an alluring and powerful goddess who held the most powerful ability in the cosmos: Love~. It was final: Baddie Aesthetic. But when I searched up 'Aphrodite Aesthetic', most of the things I found were centred around Soft Girl and Ethereal. So I had no choice: I went to Wikipedia Aesthetics. That place is absolutely wonderful but also massive. It took me two hours to get out of there, but in the very least, I was able to find the perfect aesthetic for Aphrodite: Coquette! (Pronounced kow-ket). The name literally means 'flirtatious woman' and it's filled up with pastel and frilly things (which, mind you, is the epitome of Aphrodite's cabin dƩcor)!
"Alright, listen up Aphrodite-spawns! Just 'cause Piper Mclean- or whatever her name was- was made into House Captain, that doesn't mean that I step down from my place as your trainer!", I shouted at the kow-towing half-siblings in front of me.
"B-but Snowy, there was never a title of 'trainer' in any of the cabins. And besides, y-you acted as the House Captain, not t-trainer", a younger boy with blonde hair stuttered.
I gave him my side-eyed look and picked up my megaphone, "Zayn on isle 3, row 4, for speaking when no one asked, you're punishment is denied access to the camp bathrooms for a week! Now go sit in the sad-corner!", I ordered.
He froze and began crying, "N-no water? That means I won't be able to take a bath! Snowy please, I promise I won't do it again!".
I turned my head away with a 'Humph!'. Such a weakling didn't deserve to be in the same cabin as I.
Zayn rubbed his dripping nose and dragged himself to the sad-corner.
"Now then, all you imps, if you don't want to end up like Zayn, then I suggest you listen to what I say and don't question my orders!", I commanded.
Everyone slowly nodded their heads.
I smirked, "Now the first training activity issss . . . 'Picking out The Perfect Outfit'-"
"Snowy Beauregard, just what do you think you're doing?!", A strict but composed voice spoke behind me.
I sweated and slowly turned around, hiding the megaphone behind my back, "P-piper! Welcome back!".
But Piper already saw everyone kneeling before my throne of gold and all the other perfectly normal orders I had them carried out.
"SNOWYYYYYYYYY-"
Crap. I'm screwed.
Blessed by the Prophecy - Questing
While poking around the internet for a deeper understanding of Coquette fashion, I found that Coquette orbited around lace, mini socks, cherries, pearls, heart glasses, vintage miniskirts and innocent-revealing fashion (like Lolita x Soft Girl but more cleavage)! My favourite outfit out of these two is definitely the one on the right as the vintage actually exists rather than the non-existent version in the left side. But I do adore the pearl-cherry necklace; it's become a necessity to my life.
"I swear . . . first it was Keira and now it's you. Has everyone in this camp come to my office today?", Chiron sighed at his desk table.
I crossed my arms and pouted on one of the chairs in Chiron's room. But the mention of that Hades brat was interesting.
"Keira? Why was she here?", I asked.
"That isn't a matter you should be concerned over", Chiron narrowed his eyes at me.
I rolled my eyes. Jeez, favouritism much?
"Miss Beauregard, I understand that you are only 8 years of age, however you should know more than to promote enslavement and monarchy within your cabin in a futile attempt to overthrow both Piper Mclean and Dionysus", He said.
I stared at him. What . . . what did half those words even mean?
"In simper words", he continued.
Oh thank the gods.
"You will be receiving punishment for your actions", he finished.
Screw the gods.
"What?! All I did was order my henchmen- half siblings or whatever- to help me become the rightful leader of this camp!", I reasoned.
"Exactly why you will be punished! You cannot use others for your own benefit- especially not to overthrow one of the 12 main gods!", Chiron fired back.
I slammed my hands on his table, "Fine! What do you want me to do!"
"You'll be assisting the other girls as their maidservant on their quest", Chiron replied smugly.
"WHAT?!", I screeched, "You want me to go on some grimy, stinking quest to help whichever bastard god get his magical underwear or some crap and act as those brats' freaking maid?!"
"Hmm . . . for your excessive use of vulgar language, I'll add to that a week of harvesting strawberries. Your harvest begins now", Chiron packed up his files and walked out his office door.
I froze before racing out of the office, fists in the air, "Dammit Chiron, I'll be sure daddy hears this!".
"'Make sure daddy' hears what, Snowy?", a menacing voice said behind me.
I sweated and slowly turned around, "D-daddy! You're here! W-what brings you to this humble camp-"
"Let's talk inside my office, shall we?", Daddy smiled but his aura was too obvious.
Crap. I'm screwed.
Campfire
I actually liked these two! I think I did a pretty decent job in expressing Coquette in both these outfits! Oh, and when I heard that heart glasses was an iconic piece of Coquette fashion, there's no way I wouldn't use this as an excuse to use my beloved Quay sunglasses. I mean, don't they just look stunning on the first outfit?! That was a statement- therefore you shall not question this obvious fact. Either way, I love the accessories for both!
"That"
"Freaking"
"CENTUAR'
Nico and I chanted one more time as we ploughed through this icky dirt with these . . . ploughers? Oh, whatever! The point is: I hate Chiron! But guess what?! I also found something new to hate. Strawberries. Dirt.
"And this goddamn sun!", I raged, hitting this stupid plougher on the dirt, "Who the hell still shines at 7:00pm?!".
"Alright you two, let's calm down shall we?", Will tried to reason.
"Easy for you to say", I pouted, "You're not the one suffering".
Nico glared at me.
"Will is here on a medical mission to make sure his patient doesn't get hurt".
"Who's the patient? As far as I can see, there's only strawberries and dirt", I complained.
"There's also strawberry vines-". Will added.
"I'm the patient, you idiot!", Nico hissed at me.
The two of us dropped whatever this wooden forks were and started clawing at each other.
"Okay, let's calm down, why don't you two continue cursing Chiron instead?", Will offered, hoping this would calm us down.
"Well, well, well. When I assigned you, Mr. Solace, to be Nico's guardian for the day, I was expecting that you'd be a good example for these two. It seems you haven't passed my expectations", Chiron circled us.
Nico and Will gulped.
I smirked. Hah. They're screwed.
Nighty-Night
Coquette generally means 'flirtatious woman'. Though this should've served as some sign to me, I was still dull enough to go ahead and search up 'Coquette Pyjamas'. What awaited me was not some fluffy, matching avocado pyjama set but row upon row of lingerie! If you don't know what these are, please spare your innocent mind and do not search it up. I won't deny, it was a traumatic experience and certainly not something an 8-year-old should be wearing to bed- or anywhere for that matter. Luckily, I was able to find a bunch of other Coquette-aesthetic things like soft, frilly shorts, lace crop tops and silk dresses as well as actual Coquette slippers! I think I matched them all up quite decently . . .
I was preparing all my bottles of serums and lotion on the counters at the sink.
In 2 weeks, I'll be leaving for my first Quest.
I won't lie, I'm actually very scared. It's my first one and all the other people are at least 4 years older than me. Other children my age are still practicing their special abilities. I wasn't even sure if I'll come back alive, let alone be of help to anyone. My Charm speak may be powerful but it's nowhere near Piper's.
I slapped myself on the cheeks to wake up. Snap out of it, Snowy! You can do this, I know you can! Even daddy gave you a special wand-thingy to help your charm speak!
I glared at my reflection in the mirror. Hmm, the most I can do now is prepare my skin for the next 6 months of skincare deprivation (I don't know what that word is but daddy told me it's very bad for my skin). I also don't know if I'll be gone for the next 6 months, but Chiron said that it can go on for 1 month to years.
Either way, I'll make sure I'll be prepared-
But . . .
But . . .
Oh my gods! I have an idea to get out of this quest! I'll just do what I do best: annoy the crap out of people! That way, by annoying everyone in the group, they'll have no choice but to tell Chiron they'd rather die than go with me!
It's the perfect plan.
Hah. They're-
"Snowy! Hurry up, Zayn needs to use the restroom!", Piper banged on the doors.
"Fine! Gimme a minute!", I shouted back.
How dare she cut me off on my iconic line?! I'll have to do it again then!
Hah. They're so screwed.
Perfect.
And here we are! Officially at the end! Thank you so much for joining me in preaching the glory of my mother! But before you go, I do have a disclaimer. I'm not trying to create this bratty persona to be the stereotype for every Aphrodite child. I tried to make that as obvious as I could with Zayn's and Piper's character. Every child in this cabin has their own flaws and strengths and I just wanted to exploit and show the basic personality of Snowy. Along the way, she'll be revealing a little more of her past and how much Selena impacted her. But that's a story for another day. Anyhow, it's way past my bedtime and I know that getting regular sleep is important but my stubbornness against sleep prevails! (Let's just pretend this is a good thing). Tysm for reading Snowy's chapter!
Goodnight, Child of Aphrodite! Your story begins now and it's up to you how you want to play it.
-Lots of Love,
Lilliana <3
