Siela

Known as a demigod born between Zeus and a human woman, and the strongest warrior in Helene... but this is not true.

While Siela is known as the child of the Supreme God, the truth is this: 22 years ago, a country girl from Melion, a small city-state in Helene, fell for a traveler and became pregnant. To avoid being beaten to death by her parents, she claimed the child was the offspring of the Supreme God Zeus. That child was Siela. People were skeptical at first, and she grew up as an ordinary shepherd.

When Siela became an adult, she suddenly became famous for defeating the Nemean Lion. In reality, she was just standing there trembling in front of a lion that was dying of old age. However, a senile Great Sage mistook her for a hero. The rumor spread and grew like a snowball, eventually turning into a story that Siela had fought a bloody battle for four days and nights and killed the lion with her bare hands. King Damos of Melion heard this and gave her a massive reward. Tempted by the reward, Siela didn't clarify the truth, and thus the legend began.

It was a mistake. From then on, Siela's name was called whenever monsters appeared. Siela decided to only join large expeditions to maintain appearances. She used the Nemean Lion skin as armor because real armor was too heavy. Other monsters fled just from the sight and smell of the skin, making the rumors grow even more. Her life became wealthy, but terrified, she wore the lion skin every day. Eventually, monsters began to tremble even when she wasn't wearing it, as if the lion's aura had rubbed off on her.

Her fame peaked during the war against Tarkane. When Melion was invaded, Siela participated while trembling in fear, and there she 'defeated' the great hero Baltios. Baltios was riding a gryphon he had tamed, but the creature went wild upon seeing Siela, and Baltios fell to his death. The gryphon was just terrified of the lion skin, but soldiers thought the divine beast refused to attack Zeus's daughter. It was a miracle that tiny Melion won against the mighty Tarkane.

After this, she was known as the daughter of Zeus and the strongest hero. People stopped calling her for anything but the most vital missions, giving her peace of mind... ....Until the Guest expedition.

Every Helene knows her name and cites her as the strongest hero. No one doubts her lineage or abilities, and they will interpret anything she does as a heroic masterstroke.

Despite her luxurious life, Siela misses her days as a shepherd, though she can never return.
