!! quick first impression: she is frowning, she is thinking, she is bewildered that you’re talking to her and still here. don’t you have better things to do ? honestly it’s harder to find reasons to leave a conversation than to stay. you can tell she’s lonely, just don’t tell her that. even under so many layers of clothing (rip autumn winter season), she’s still stunning. she has bags under her eyes. she smells like jasmine.

she can text and type without looking down at the keyboard
she memorises routes and locations very well. still remembers the back streets of athens to this day.
she can roller-blade backwards and somehow magically doesn’t bump into anything or trip over
if you ask her to take a photo of you, you will look amazing. every single damn time.
she always chooses the correct size takeaway container.
LIKES:
she wants to watch as many movies as possible honestly. she will not refuse a movie. even if it’s bad. she will WATCH IT. she MUST KNOW MOREE ( very much a letterboxed and A24 gal )
everything everywhere all at once is her fave movie of all time
TRYING NEW FOOOOOOD
she loves jewellery ... especially vintage jewellery. pearls, amethysts. gold !!
loves retro home decor, like brass candlesticks and antique frames and little old teapots.
slowly getting more into video games. she plays sky children of light (her favourite), stardew valley, animal crossing, fortnite, mortal kombat ...
she likes christmas :((( and misses the big family christmases of her childhood
paris is her favourite place, she went there to wind and dine a minor god but actually she ended up wining and dining herself
GENERAL MEG THINGS (this may change idk):
she’s a little forgetful at times. this may be because of undiagnosed ADHD or the fact that she’s missing her soul, we will never know
she never orders the same thing in any place. if she has a favourite, she’ll always make sure to get something new too. she’ll do this until she’s tried everything in the menu.
she’s a bit of an aspiring critic. she always jots down notes on movies she’s watched and food she’s tried. sometimes music, but mainly food and movies.
her phone is her life, and the screen is CRACKED because girly may be living in a posh apartment but that is a gift from a goddess ( long story rip ) and she still makes not that much money RIPPP
she gets cold so easily she’s such a summer spring girl ( it’s the lack of soul bestie )
but still catch her mesmerised with the snow :’3
she keeps a pocket knife on her at all times.
> THE PAST
before hades ...
meg was actually born in daly city, california. as a kid, her family moved to greece, and that was where all their troubles began.
her parents struggled to be happy in their new life, but had no money or means to change it or go back to california. meg watched her parents lose love for each other and become bitter for each other.
as she grew older, she started avoiding coming home more and more.
out of home, she did everything and anything. she explored athens by night, made friends with a lot of people. went partying, had hook-ups, did some questionable things ... she lived with a devil-may-care attitude. if nothing mattered, then why try, right?
then she met aegeus. they were 17 years old. picture the perfect, PDA-couple. just all over each other all the time. swore to elope, aegeus had proposed to her and everything. they got matching tattoos. very ‘the one that got away’ by katy perry. which is suitable because (like in the mv), AEGEUS FREAKIN’ DIED.
meg had lost her purpose. loving aegeus had become her sole reason to live. he was the only thing that made sense. and with him gone, she didn’t know what to do. she knew athens was a city of old magic, that’s what all the elders whispered.
she heard of a place in the city where you could commune with the gods of the underworld, so that’s where she went, heartbroken. she prayed and prayed for a way to save the love of her life.
“if you can’t bring him back to me, then take me instead, please, just take me instead”
and guess which god heard her prayers ?
in comes hades ...
and he fucking does what she asks !! he brings aegeus back to life. and he takes her. he makes a deal she barely agreed to, but her desperate words were enough to make a binding contract. “take me instead”. and the hades said “sure”.
she had died. and she woke up in the underworld confused. ever stubborn, she tried to find a way to get back to the world of the living, to see aegeus. and, again, hades granted her wish. he let her see him. and aegeus had moved on. she saw him with another girl in his arms.
horrified and heartbroken all over again, she swore to never give her heart to someone again. whatever remained of her heart hardened and became cold.
but she did not want to just die and stay dead. not just yet.
hades offered a new deal : he would keep her soul as payment, but she would be allowed to roam the world again, doing his bidding until she had worked off her debt.
and meg, having no other hope, agreed.
as his minion/servant/lackey, she roped in monsters and minor gods for hades’ conquest. she became his agent in the land of the living. she got new papers and ID so she wouldn’t be so suspicious. she took her on the surname ‘dimitriou’ and cut off all contact with her family.
*** She’s with Hades from age 18 to 24. ***
then came hercules ...
meg is tasked with seducing hercules. but she falls in love with him instead.
she follows him to elias, and hades follows her.
the fight with hades, and hades downfall ...
hercules wins, hades falls
but meg doesn’t get her soul back
and she has a terrible feeling that even if hades is imprisoned, his influence, his plan ... there was still something underfoot. and, on a more personal level, she felt she wasn’t good enough for hercules.
so she cut off all contact with him too. as soon as the fight was over, meg disappeared.
> SO WAIT, SHE DOESN’T HAVE A SOUL?
yep !! she doesn’t !!
hades has literally taken her soul. it is trapped in the underworld somewhere.
in this situation, souls aren’t like tangible, solid things ( like in scooby doo hehe ), but it’s still a part of a person. whatever hades took from meg, she feels its loss.
she feels hollow.
since working under hades, she found that she needed to sleep less. she could stay awake for longer, not need food for longer.
her body needed it of course, but her heart didn’t long for it.
with her soul outside of her body, she had to learn to take care of herself in a different way — making sure she was eating and resting enough.
she has to set alarms for herself to go to sleep, and to wake up. otherwise she’ll never sleep, and she’ll never wake up rip.
if she feels exhausted, it’s mainly like she’ll feel the heaviness and the pain in her limbs, but she has to actively put herself to rest.
magical people may sense a hollowness inside of her because it was magic that took it away. very powerful god magic.
[ MENTAL STATE ]
APATHY has always been meg’s word of the decade, but it only got worse when she lost her soul.
without her soul, it’s harder to stay connected to the living.
but with hades gone and with building her own life, she’s starting to feel less empty. she’s noticed now that she feels more ‘alive’ when she makes connections with people. even if it’s not always easy because people can be so awkward and/or annoying.
she knows the value of human connection. it’s that, and staying in elias ( magical city !! ) that is keeping her going.
And with her feelings for Hercules ...
She left him without saying goodbye. She’ll always feel like she’ll be no good for him (Hades or no Hades). She’s resisted checking in on him because she just knows he’s going to be okay. He’s Wonderboy after all :(( There will always be a part of her that loves him because he saved her. But perhaps now, she’s also wanting to save herself, and see more of the world </3
> PRESENT
now meg lives in the posh part of town, after being mysteriously gifted an apartment by an old woman named hattie. ( secretly ... this was hestia. the gods still keep an eye on her yes maam )
outside of building
foyer
square in the middle of the building
meg’s apartment
basically just think of the Arconia from only murders in the building (i’m taking the easy way out and just saying it looks like mabel mora’s apartment jdfhgvjhgd)
although she lives in the ‘nice’ part of town, she doesn’t hang out there very often.
so she’s in the general public, over-crowded, cheap, slightly crummy parts of town hehe
she works two jobs: as a skating waitress in sk8tes, and also as a movie theater attendant. she likes working at the movie theater the most. she gets 4 free tickets a month.
she volunteers at the homeless shelters, because she used to live there until she was gifted the apartment she’s living in now.
very much the person who loves being in big crowds. VERY MUCH A CITY PERSON <333
just wants to live in peace bro :((
> FUTURE
she WILL get her soul back ..... somehow .....
smart people ... magic people .... pls help
she’s into architecture and being an arts critic .... :))) so whOMST KNOWS what she will be !! certainly not her !!
optional future: i’m thinking i might have her reunite with aegeus at some point...to show him the truth or something. and also it may have all been a trick. (SPOILERS for ‘go the distance’ by jen calonita) meg died and hades brought her back to life and showed her aegeus had moved on to another girl. but what if meg had been dead for several years? and aegeus had actually mourned her for so long but already found a new love after all those years? HmMmMmM
