personality;;
Medea is constantly somewhere else. It's difficult to explain; she's that girl who zones out in the middle of a conversation, who sits placidly through a lecture but retains zero information, who will watch a movie and get distracted and pester her companion to fill her in on what's happened. She's got a wandering eye and a wandering mind and very little can keep her attention. She's noticeably odd and has little capacity to care for usual societal norms. When she dislikes someone she tends to loudly announce it to Jason, her raven, while they are in the room to hear. She has a thick, guttural accent to her English that thickens when she's upset to something rather indecipherable, and she grows promptly frustrated when she can't think of the right word for something. She has a short fuse and a shorter temper; she tends to get mad only for a few minutes at a time, and then the fury burns off and she's back to normal. She isn't a particularly loyal friend because sometimes she gets bored with people and wanders off.
However there are those rare few that genuinely interest her, and to those people Medea will be meticulously faithful. A notable figure is Clytemnestra, who Medea finds absolutely fascinating; and she would follow the Mikennan queen to the end of the earth if it was requested of her. She always has Jason with her, whether he's on her shoulder or flying ahead, and he sleeps on the posts of her bed. She feeds him from her own plate and ignores the furtive whisperings of the court around her. She has a strange affinity for the woods and the creatures within; people say they've seen her sometimes sitting neatly at the foot of a birch tree murmuring with a pack of wolves, or walking through a milling herd of deer. She is generally difficult to rouse to an emotional reaction, but will respond immediately if threats are made against Jason, or if he is somehow forcibly removed from her. She's very protective over the bird, and hand-feeds him only the best parts of her meat.

occupation;;
Clytemnestra's advisor Medea wandered into the Mikennan castle one day and left that evening the queen's advisor. No one is quite sure how she got this position or even if she's suited to it, but she's obviously one of Clytemnestra's favorites so no one loudly complains. She spends most of her time following the queen around taking notes and gossiping with Jason in front of the people she's bad-mouthing. She has a head for numbers and finds financial situations particularly easy to remedy. She has the power to represent the queen in political situations when Clytemnestra is otherwise indisposed. pets;; Medea doesn't really consider Jason a pet, but most other people do so he'll be recorded here. He's a plain raven, probably wild-caught, but Medea has had him since he was a baby so they're very close. Medea treats him more like an extension of herself than she does a separate being and they do literally everything together, where other people might draw certain lines. Jason can be quite snappish to other people but preens for Medea. He will often fly ahead of her, acting as a sort of scout, cawing down and listening when she replies with her odd, meandering answers. They appear to understand one another perfectly. |
trivia;;
-has a male raven pet (familiar ???) named Jason -her comprehension of time is really something else; she loses track a lot -honestly why is she Clytemnestra's advisor ??? nobody really knows -she can be drawn with standard hair edit or her long braid depending on timeframe -Jason is magical and fully capable of speech, but he really only talks to Medea -he can see the distant future (talking years) -sometimes people overhear him talking to her in an empty room but she just acts like nothing is amiss -he sleeps on her headboard or sometimes in bed with her -she suffers from terrible nightmares and rarely sleeps easy -she shares everything with Jason; watching them go through a meal is a show -when she's stressed she reaches automatically for Jason -she has an odd dislike for the woods and is reluctant to go in very far |
