About Me: Hi. My name is Hestia. In Rome they call me Vesta or Ἑ στιά, either one is fine. I am the virgin Greek goddess of the hearth fire. My brother is Zeus and my parents are Rhea and Cronus. When my siblings and I were born, our father Cronus ate us. Later, he regurgitated us. I was the first one eaten, and the last one out. Something special about me is how I symbolize the alliance of the Metropolis (Mother-City) with the now-founded colonies.

Zeus --- Hestia, this is such a pretty view ! Athena --- Wow! This is beautiful.

My Favorites: Movies: Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and Indiana Jones

Music: Fire Burning by Sean Kingston, Light my Fire by the Doors, We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel, Hot like Fire by Savage, Put out the Fire by Queen

Interests: I love sitting by fires on colder day’s just relaxing taking time for myself. I absolutely love hanging out with friends…usually Apollo and Poseidon want to hang out with me (Going to the temple the Romans have built for me in the Forum is always fun. Sometimes, I am also invited to the sacred fire in the hall of the Olympus, even though I don’t have a throne like a Queen.

Myths: In Rome, I am known as Vesta. I am considered a Goddess of earth, and fire…possibly in respect for the warm core of the Earth. Eventually, they recognized me as the goddess of ceremonial fire.

In Greece, the mortals would always celebrate and praise me at every meal. I took vows of chastity so I am always able to tend to my fire, to prevent it from ever going out. I have been given great honor and I am considered a highly sacred person ! (:

Pop Culture: Lately, many of my God and Goddess friends have been getting on my nerves. This has caused me to retaliate and cause the wild fires in California. If I’m not mistaken, it only happened due to my anger…but I am sorry to those I have hurt.

Location: I am currently living in Honolulu. Honolulu was the best choice because I love the warm, hot, island-y weather. HONOLULU: 21º 18' N, 157º 51' W Friends List: Aphrodite, Apollo Artemis, Athena Atlas, Coeus Cronus, Demeter Dione, Empimetheus Gaea, Hades Hebe, Hera Hephaestus, Hermes Iapetus, Leto Maia, Oceanus, Persephone Phoebe, Poseidon Prometheus, Rhea Uranus, Zeus

Blocked: Eris, Eros, Fates, Furies
