The Myth:

Medusa was a beautiful woman once, so beautiful that Poseidon, god the sea, raped her in the Temple of Athena. Insulted by this violation of her temple, Athena then transformed Medusa into a hideous beast with snakes for hair, whose gaze could turn men to stone.

Perseus then took it upon himself to cut her head off, using her gaze as a weapon to defeat all manner of monsters. When he was finished, rather than let her rest, her head was mounted on a shield for Athena, creating the Aegis.

When given the opportunity to seek revenge against the Olympians who wronged her and their supporters, Medusa eagerly sided with Kronos. She thinks the reborn deserve to suffer for all they’ve done to her, and others.

The Woman:

Melody is a Kronos Ally, and she has no love lost for any of the Olympians. She's eager to make any and all of them suffer, so you best watch out.

She's very methodical in her schemes, though, and tends to try for the long-con where she can; she'd much rather smile sweetly and ingratiate the reborn to her so she can find a way to utterly destroy them down the line rather than going for some small slight in the moment.

When it comes to Kronos, Melody views him more as the enemy of her enemy as opposed to a friend. She knows how powerful he is and has no reason or desire to go against him, but she isn't necessarily super loyal to him.

Running an event planning business, she uses her position not only to get the reborn into one place for mass-vengeance schemes, but also to gain insight into their personal lives and find ways to sabotage their dreams and desires.

She has the power to physically paralyze others, but no worries, this power will only be used if we've talked about it beforehand!

Born and raised a socialite in LA, she has a massive network of contacts and is very good at charming people into giving her what she wants.

A very guarded individual, while she comes across very warm and friendly upon first meeting, that warmth is literally skin-deep. She'll sidle up and smile, all while planning your downfall behind those pretty brown eyes.

She's demi-romantic and bisexual, and tends to shy away from romantic relationships --especially with Olympian Allies. It takes a long time to earn her trust and get her to warm up to anyone romantically.
