ZOYA — antigone.
you are antigone, from the theban plays by sophocles. you are bold, unwavering in your morals and your passion, an unstoppable force of nature. but when you go head-to-head with an immovable object, your ideals can lead you to self-destruction. you are stubbornly resilient and fearless to a fault, and aren't afraid to stand alone in the face of death. antigone, in your quest for justice, don't forget: you are allowed to step back, to love life a little, to be young once more before soldiering on to the very very end. be selfish in your fierceness, just once.
INEJ — orestes.
you are orestes from the oresteia by aeschylus, and you are haunted by a cycle of pain. you try your hardest to be a better person, but sometimes you wonder if you will stop feeling trapped by your past. you have a strong sense of justice, you are quick to protect and defend those you love, and you are not afraid to compromise your morals if that means you are settling the score. eventually though, the consequences of your deeds will catch up to you, but that's okay, because sometimes looking your ugliness right in the eye is the greatest release.
EVICKA — medea.
you are medea from from the argonautica by apollonius and medea by euripides. you are ambitious, ruthless, and unforgiving in getting what you want, and unapologetic in your self-preservation. the truth is, you have let your romantic ideals get the better of you before, and time and time again you have had to relearn how to build up those walls and thorns that guard it. the only person who can protect you is yourself, and you have learned that the hard way. sometimes stoking that fire of hate and anger in your heart hurts more than whatever you're fighting against.
women: exist alina: 😳😵😍
We love to see it.
moodboard: os alta
Os Alta was called the dream city. It was the capital of Ravka, home to the Grisha and the King’s Grand Palace. But if anything, it just looked like a bigger, dirtier version of the market town at Keramzin.

❝ of course, because you’re in such a position to make demands right now. ❞
alright—she was perhaps going against the resolution the six of them had agreed upon just this morning: remain at a distance, wait until a sensible course to face any of this had been decided, and above it all, do not visit him alone. do not give him a chance to use you like he has used so many others in the past. do not think of yourself above that possibility, you wouldn’t be the first to make that mistake.
yet—here she was, as she had answered each of his calls in the past. a silly girl, no more than a moron fed on lies.
and the truth is, she had been set on acting like he didn’t even exist anymore. she had carried on with her day busy with the thousand demands the palace had in store for her. she had been free—more or less, and only until the night came for her. only—until everyone was asleep and her thoughts became the kind of storm she couldn’t handle. the winds and thunder that should have been hers to command, turned against her. her curse—a ghost she now could have at the reach of her fingers.
❝ so let’s try again, shall we? unless, of course, you’d prefer to be left with these ones as your only company? ❞ a line of sun summoners, young soldiers that a few years ago hadn’t even dreamt with a power such as this, projecting their light so there would be no room for him and his former abilities. and, she wondered—did he think of her when he look at them? did the keramzin orphan haunt his every thought? certainly, she hoped that was the case.
❝ what was it then? what was the reason for all the misery you brought upon us? your people. ❞
AND THEN I JUST SNAPPED.
take a breath, spit out the blood in your mouth, and get back up on your feet. you still got a couple of motherfuckers to prove wrong.
