NEWBIE uses NERVOUS BABBLING! It is not very effective...
Hi, I'm Rekla and I bring you Selene, known in this life as Irene Gordon, resident Biology Professor and sheer endless source of patience. Yes. Mythology wise, the most well-known story would be the one of Selene and the mortal Endymion, whom she fell in love with. And since she didn't want him to die (or grow old) she asked Zeus to put him into an eternal sleep. Zeus let himself be persuaded (which may or may not be tied to the two-to-four children she had with him), and Endymion was (sometimes even with his consent) put to sleep. Which didn't keep her from having fifty daughters with him. Oh joy! Other close Myth-relationships are Helios, her brother, Eos (her sister), as wells as Hyperion and Theia, her parents. :)
The TL;DR modern-day background can be found here, but in short: Irene was born in Switzerland, moved to the US when she met a certain young man, got married to him, he died in a tragic accident, she traveled some A LOT and eventually wound up in Montenegro last year.
She's a generally rather niiiice person, bit flirtatious maybe, with a bit of a problem when it comes to dealing with losses and a tiny health-problem caused by the moon. Additional details can be found in the app, should you want them. :3
As for me, I AM NICE TOO. Really! I'm fairly new to Insanejournal, though, but I'm sure I'll get used to it quickly - but please, please excuse some small noob-fails that might happen in the beginning. XD You can reach me via email (skipthedramabb[at]gmail[dot]com), AIM (sodisquietingly) and plurk (rekla) and I will try to get back to you asap!~ My general being-here can altogether be blamed on the ever-lovely Miri, who first told me about this place and then enabled me. So, so much.
Aaanyway, people who might be students/friends/enemies/frenemies/lovers of Selene, possible housemates, anythings? People she can talk in French/German/Japanese with would be lovely, too!
