Gentle Giant

Despite his imposing appearance and theatrical flair, he’s incredibly kind, patient, and emotionally perceptive. He’d rather help a fallen opponent up than finish them off (though he can and will if necessary).

Hopeless Romantic

Underneath the armor beats the heart of a dreamer. He believes in soulmates, starlit confessions, and true love’s healing power. He writes poetry in secret, quotes old romantic epics, and is soft for slow dances.

Deeply Caring & Protective

Whether it's a fellow gladiator, a small animal, or a child in the crowd, he has a strong instinct to nurture and shield others. He re names, notices when someone’s off, and always offers a comforting word (or a warm shoulder to lean on).

Theatrical but Sincere

Yes, he’s dramatic. Yes, he sparkles. But it’s not vanity it’s ion. He puts his whole soul into everything, whether it’s a duel or decorating someone’s armor with fresh laurel leaves “because it brings out their eyes.”

Humble When It Matters

He knows how to laugh at himself. If someone mocks his sparkle or flair, he smiles and leans into it.

Comforting Presence

He's the one you seek after a hard day. His voice is calm, his hugs are legendary, and his aura radiates warmth. The kind of person who listens without judgment.

- Quirks & Habits -

Always checks in on wounded teammates after a fight, even opponents.

•Carries extra water to share during training.

•Talks to animals like they’re old friends.

•Hums romantic melodies under his breath while polishing his armor.

•Gets shy if someone compliments his kindness more than his appearance.

- How He Loves -

Slow, Steady, and Wholehearted. He doesn’t rush. He wants to know everything about his partner—their dreams, their fears, their favorite scent of flowers.

Brings small, thoughtful gifts: handmade bracelets, warm bread, pressed flowers tucked into notes.

When he falls in love, he falls like a mountain crumbling into the sea, quietly, but with unstoppable depth. He only falls in love once.

𝙃𝙤𝙗𝙗𝙞𝙚𝙨/𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙨:

Telling Stories by Firelight

A natural storyteller, gentle, rich voice, always dramatic but heartfelt. Loves seeing eyes light up around the flames.

Making Herbal Tea

Learned from his wife. Has a calming ritual of preparing tea for friends or to settle his nerves before a match.

Woodcarving

Makes tiny animals or figures, sometimes gives them to children in the stands or fellow gladiators for good luck.

Gentle, Loving & Sweet

Maia speaks softly and moves with grace. She rarely raises her voice, even in times of crisis. Her presence alone has a calming effect on others. She forms deep emotional bonds quickly. Her love is unconditional, whether it’s for a friend, child, or even a creature in need.

Mother-like & Caring

She nurtures and protects those around her, often putting others’ needs above her own. Her instincts are protective and wise, offering advice and comfort without judgment. She notices small things, a tired glance, a shaky voice, and responds with quiet acts of kindness. Maia always ensures everyone feels seen and safe.

Optimistic & Emotional

Even in dark times, Maia believes in a better future. Her hope is not naive — it’s a choice, and it inspires others to keep going. Her feelings run deep and true. She may cry easily — from joy, grief, or empathy — but never hides it. Her openness is part of her strength.

- How Maia Loves -

She loves gently. Maia doesn’t overwhelm. Her love is quiet but powerful like hands smoothing tangled hair, or a steady heartbeat when the world feels too loud. She gives space when needed, but always stays near, like a comforting presence that never leaves. She loves with her whole heart.

Once she gives her heart, it’s complete. No half-measures. She memorizes the way her partner breathes when they sleep, the things that make them laugh, the small details they don’t think anyone notices but she does.

Maia shows love through acts of care preparing their favorite food, holding them when they’re tired, whispering reassurances until they fall asleep. Her love language is gentle touch, soft words, and thoughtful actions.

She feels everything deeply joy, worry, pain, love. Her emotions aren’t just for herself she mirrors the feelings of those she loves. If her partner hurts, she aches. If they’re happy, she glows. Loving Maia means never being alone in what you feel.

Collecting Pretty Things

She has a small collection of sentimental treasures — smooth stones, feathers, old keys, dried flowers. Each one tells a story. She keeps them in a little wooden box with a lock only she uses.

Playing the lyre

softly, often in the evenings her music is gentle, emotional, like a lullaby to the world. Her father often makes her play for the guests.

Makes Ancient Greek vase painting, pottery

she collects images of old myths, especially ones about love, great heroes, greek gods and myths.

Flower Gardening

Maia has a deep connection to nature, especially flowers. She spends hours in her garden, speaking softly to the plants as she tends to them. She believes each flower has its own little soul and chooses specific blooms for their symbolic meanings roses for love, lilies for purity, forget-me-nots for memory.

Reading Romantic Tales & Fairy Stories

She adores dreamy books stories of soulmates, enchanted forests, and timeless love. She’s often found curled up with a soft blanket, lost in a world where love always wins and good hearts are rewarded.
