[/b][/font] she stands at an average five foot nine inches tall, though she can seem a bit taller if she is wearing heels. She’s never felt like a towering monster or a short midget as she was always just average when it came to her height; she was lad too because she had seen many that were freakishly tall or some that were rather vertically challenged and she was always glad to be average. Average, that was Damia… or so she thought anyway.

OVERALL APPEARANCE !
( WEIGHT ) she wasn’t the sort to work out to stay slim, though she did have a thing about eating. And being Greek, she grew up eating rather greasy foods so she had been a bit on the pudgy side when she was a little girl as she got older and she got taller, her weight evened out and he weight maintained itself with her metabolism being just high enough to burn off what she hate before it could add pounds onto her body in the places she wouldn’t want them to be added. She weighs roughly between one hundred and twenty-five and one hundred and thirty pounds. She doesn’t weigh herself every day as she doesn’t worry too much about her weight because she can still see her toes.
( DISTINGUISHING MARKS ) Damia has a few marks worth mentioning here I guess, though there will be very few people that will ever see them. Her family knows that they are there, but that is also because they have seen her in her birthday suit when she was a young girl. One of them is on the left side where her rib cage is; it doesn’t really have a defined shape to it like a star or a boot or anything, it was more like just a blob that was no more than the size of a quarter or a half dollar. She has another birthmark on her foot, though she thinks it is more of a scar just without the memory of ever getting it, on her right foot that kind of oddly enough looks like a natural bandage on her foot. It goes all the way around her foot, but not like an anklet would.
[/ul]FACIAL FEATURES !
( EYES ) it is hard not to get hungry when you look into her chocolate brown eyes long enough. Her brows seem to be arched high above her eye, usually giving her this look of curiosity and questioning. Like one of those looks you give someone when you don’t completely buy what they are saying and you are trying to formulate your own idea of what the truth it; that is the look that she usually looks like she is wearing, though half of the time she isn’t doing it on purpose. For those that know her well, they know that she is actually giving that look when one brow is slightly higher than the other.
( FACE / SKIN TONE ) under the fluorescent lights of most places, Damia looks fair when it comes to her complexion, though her dark locks generally shy people from thinking that she is of certain descent. Most are surprised when they find out that she is one hundred perfect Greek, but she doesn’t care if they believe her or not. She knows what she is and she doesn’t care how dark or light her skin is for her region. There are many in her own village where she grew up that were lighter skinned like she is. And fair complexion or not, she tans rather nicely in the warmer and sunnier months, compliments of her region.

LIKES !
( INTELLECTUAL CONVERSATIONS ) as a smart individual herself, Damia is rather fond of a conversation that stimulates her mind. She doesn’t like to feel bored when talking to someone and she hates having to explain things as if she were talking to a first grader either. True she has to do that when she teaches English, but that she has a bit more patience for because she knows that English is a hard language to learn. Leave it to the d**n English to create such a hard language.
( OUTDOORS ) growing up in Greece gave her a lot of time outdoors as the weather there was usually on the warm side and it gave her many opportunities to be outside. She loved to swim in the ocean, always enjoying how beautiful the color of the ocean was near her home island of Santorini. She loves rock climbing, as she has done since she was a little girl, and she also loves to hike. She loves nature and respects it completely. She loves to be outside when the weather permits and sometimes even held her classes outside when the weather was not too hot or rainy.
[/ul]DISLIKES !
( GAMES / BULLnuts ) she is a rather upfront individual and isn’t one for games or the run around. If she asks you a question, she wants an answer and she wants a truthful one if that can be mustered. She has been known to rather blunt in her day and it is not unheard of for her to snap at you if you try to make her feel less than she really is or try to insult her. She also has the cleverness to come back with something good and even able to render someone speechless because her words will totally catch them off guard. Sometimes her bluntness makes her feel bad if she sees that she has truly hurt someone’s feelings; it isn’t usually her intention to do so, sometimes her words just get in the way. She hates it, but she can’t help it either.
( RACISM ) It is understandable to be rude to someone that you do not like and have not liked for some time, but to be rude to someone off the bat for no real reason is not really fair, or at least that is what Damia thinks. She is and has always been one for fair play and equal opportunity. She doesn’t discriminate base on physical appearance, color, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or anything of the sort. For someone to be mean or rude to another based on only any or all of those things is not worth your time anyway and they should just be ignored. As a teacher, even in a small town, she has seen how the different social classes mesh, or don’t mesh as it were, and have to constantly have the poorer kids pulled off of the rich kids because they were commenting on how their fathers pay their fathers salaries and other sorts of nonsense that kids find themselves in. petty and stupid and she doesn’t care of it.
[/ul]STRENGTHS !
( INTELLIGENT / LOGICAL ) As if her grades didn’t prove it enough, Damia’s intelligence shines through in many of the things that she does. Usually, coupled with her killer logic, she can find an easy yet productive and seemingly impossible way to get something done. Sometimes, in all honesty, she amazes herself on how she comes up with some of the things that she does. Even as a little girl, she had come up with these crazy ways of organizing her room and her drawers and closets and such. Even when she went to the Magic School, she had had everything situated in specific ways so that she knew where everything was at all times and had all of the similar things together. Some called this OCD but she called it logic. If you use pens with paper, then why not put them all together, right?
[/ul]WEAKNESSES !
( ROMANCE ) While she has never actually been in love per say – she isn’t exactly sure what love feels like so she isn’t sure if she has ever been in it before – but she is such a sucker for a few sweet lines and a sweet guy. She can’t help it, it was the English nerd in her that loves to read, or so she blamed anyway, as she always felt that any woman that didn’t fall for such sweet words was crazy. Well she had found out a few times that it was more the other way around; the one that falls for the lines are the fools. She has become more guarded now then she was back when she was a student at the Magic School – though don’t confuse this with thinking that she was/is easy because she was/is far from it – and is not as quick to trust a man with her heart, though she will still smile and accept at least a first date to a sweet talker. She likes to believe that there is more to a book than its cover; she’s the same way.
[/ul]GOAL !
( PASSIVE ) Damia does not believe in fighting of any kind, though some confrontations are unavoidable. She isn’t the sort of female to go looking for a fight, though she won’t exactly back down from one either. In a way, she will manage to talk to down, though without making you seem or look like a coward or fool
( FUNNY ) Damia loves to laugh and loves being surrounded by those that make her do so or at least enjoy laughing as well. her preferred genre of movie are comedies, though of course she is a major fan of chick flicks too, though those usually fall under comedy too, though under the subcategory of romantic comedies. Either way, she was big of laughter and smiling and being
( ARTISTIC )Being in Greece almost her entire life, Damia has grown to have an appreciation for art of all kinds. The art that surrounds her home in the Aegean is more landscape wonders as well as ancient ruins and archeological finds; her vacation travels with her family to far off lands (which was pretty much anything out of the Cyclades) often brought her to museums and such and her father taught her a bit about art as he had painted in his spare time, a hobby for the tourists he used to say. She knew he loved to do it, though he never pursued it for a career. She was the same way, though her love for art branches to all forms, including writing, music, dance and painting to list a few. She sings too, though usually only her shower head hears her.

( STAGE ONE )
As if the beautiful island of Santorini in the Cyclades wasn't enough, a beautiful baby girl was introduced to the newlywed Mr. and Mrs. Nichols. They had tried to have a baby for a couple of years after getting married, but for some reason she just never did. At first they thought it was something wrong with her, so they got her checked out. Agatha was fine so then they decided to check out Stefano and he was fine too. The doctors were perplexed and they proposed a bit of help but having them both take hormones to stimulate their reproductive organs. Well whatever it was that they were given worked because Agatha got pregnant and then, on June 15th, 1967, Damia Andromeda Nichols was born. Her parents were over the moon about her, her grandparents as well, for she was literally a miracle as they didn’t think that they would ever be able to have children of their own after no results for so long.
( STAGE TWO )
Growing up was a joy for Damia as she had been surrounded by love and access to a vast amount of knowledge and space to do as she pleased. With the way her homeland was laid out, she learned from an early age to use her hands to help her when she needed extra balance or even to hold onto if she was in a steep spot. she learned to walk when she was just around two, though not quite yet, and her ability to talk started a bit later than normal due to her telepathy and she thought that she was talking for at least a year or so when she really was – sort of like a Look Who’s Talking thing – and didn’t actually say her first word until she was close to three. Her parents had thought it was from the hormones they had to take in order to even get pregnant with her, but they found out it was her telepathy that had caused her delayed language development.
( STAGE THREE )
She picked up what she had missed out on rather quickly and was just your regular average kid with magical powers, which of course she had to keep mum about. She was one of the oldest in her age bracket of the kids in the neighborhood, though there were a few older kids, but they would go off to join the tourism industry so she never really got to get to know them. She didn’t buy into that whole tourism thing, probably why she was so glad for when her time did come to leave the island with everyone though she would not be going off to feed into the tourism industry. She’d be going off to the Magic School and to the Magic School she went.
( STAGE FOUR )
She had a lot of fun when she got to the Magic School. Her kind hearted and fun loving nature earned her a rather positive reputation while she was a student and had definitely left a mark on the place when she had left. Her grades had been phenomenal all four years of school and had actually been sad to leave. She had made many friends while at school, though only a few really close ones, and she even found herself a few guys to occupy her time, though even those numbers were to all that impressive. She had kept in contact with some of her friends since she moved back to Greece; some f them have actually responded, which has given her a greater respect for them, and some did not, though she has become aware of some of their more trying times to which they wouldn’t be able to write.
( STAGE FIVE )
Her world back in Greece was somewhat like she had never left, but she was glad to be home and she was glad that she was older and more mature wit herself and she had a better idea of what she wanted to do. she took a year off after leaving the Magic School and just helped around the house and visited with her grandmother often since her grandfather died just before she went off to the States and didn’t get to see her all that much while she was gone. She welcomed the time spent with the older woman and knew that she was getting ready to kick the bucket soon too. Damia knew she was lonely, of course she was, and she had started to prepare herself for when that day would come and she did her best to be with her for as long as she could before that day came.
( STAGE SIX )
Damia taught English as a second language to the local kids as well as many of the island kids sp that they could go off and join the tourism industry that Greece thrived on. Some actually stayed on the island itself to work, but most others went to other islands and to the mainland for jobs. Damia stayed on the island to work, but not for the tourism industry… well, at least not directly anyways. She was teaching them so that they would be able to make it in the tourism industry, or the American diner industry, take your pick. She had started to think about a life elsewhere, maybe teaching English as a second language in another country, she had heard that they pay pretty good money for that. It was then that her grandmother Calista that told her about the position available.
( STAGE SEVEN )
And so she prepared herself to head on back to the States for the second time in her life and she was so excited about it. She had found a replacement for her position here on the island and was all ready to go… and then her grandmother Eunice died. Those years of loneliness finally caught up to her and she died in her sleep. Damia’s trip back to San Francisco had been postponed for a few weeks as she attended the funeral and then mourned with her family for her grandmother. Once her mourning was over, Damia was ready to finally head on out to the States, again. She was so excited to get there; Sabien had offered his couch to her until she found a place of her own, which she was going to start looking for first thing in the morning… or maybe the day after. She heard jet lag can be a pregnant dog.
