Xanthippe.
Here's some headcanons: She can read, write and do math (someone has to run socrates' household. Also maths are fun and beautiful and she loves them). Extremely practical and organised, not interested in social norms, her kids are her everything but she's a very stern mom (mostly because she's terrified her kids will end up like their dad). Bisexuality visible from three kilometers away. She loves Socrates, as much as he infuriates her, she just wishes he cared a bit more about the material world because a family has material needs. Has understandable beef with every pretty young man, but Alcibiades is her #1 enemy. Alcibiades, perplexingly, tries to be nice to her (secretly he thinks it's kinda hot when she's pissed at him. She's a few years younger than him and still brings out his mommy issues). She has many friends around the neighborhood because she might be grumpy and rude and no-nonsense, but will always be the first to offer help and sound advice. Other women trust her because she never gossips, but she always knows what's going on around town, since socrates tells her all the news all the time. She has the straightest hair you can imagine, and doesn't botehr with curling it or styling it. A ponytail to keep it out of the way is good enough. She loves fish and seafood above all other food.
