Francesca has always felt beautiful and been adored but along with that she has always had an uncanny ability to remind men of the woman of their dreams, be it how she looks or an aspect of her personality people always see the ones they love in parts of her.

Aphrodite lives in the world of people possibilities. She loves people and new experiences. She is lively and fun, and enjoys being the center of attention. She lives in the here-and-now, and relish excitement and drama in their lives. Aphrodite has very strong inter-personal skills, and may find herself in the role of the peacemaker frequently. Since she makes decisions by using her personal values, she is usually very sympathetic and concerned for other people's well-being. She is very observant about other people, and seems to sense what is wrong with someone before others might, responding warmly with a solution to a practical need. She might not be the best advice-giver in the world, because she dislikes theory and future-planning, but she is great for giving practical care. Aphrodite is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. She loves to have fun. She tends to become over-indulgent, and place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on her duties and obligations. She may also avoid looking at long-term consequences of her actions. For Aphrodite, the entire world is a stage. She loves to be the center of attention and perform for people. She is constantly putting on a show for others to entertain them and make them happy. She enjoys stimulating other people's senses, and is extremely good at it. She would love nothing more than for life to be a continual party, in which She plays the role of the fun-loving hostess. Aphrodite loves people, and everybody loves Aphrodite. One of her greatest gifts is her general acceptance of everyone. She is upbeat and enthusiastic, and genuinely like almost everybody. Aphrodite is unfailingly warm and generous with her friends, and she generally treats everyone as a friend. However, once crosesed, Aphrodite is likely to make a very strong and stubborn judgment against the person who crossed her. She is capable of deep hatred in such a situation. Aphrodite under a great deal of stress gets overwhelmed with negatives thoughts and possibilities. As an optimistic individual who lives in the world of possibilities, negative possibilities do not sit well with her. In an effort to combat these thoughts, she is likely to come up with simple, global statements to explain away the problem. These simplistic explanations may or may not truly get to the nature of the issue, but they serve Aphrodite well by allowing them to get over it. Aphrodite is very practical, although she hates structure and routine. She likes to "go with the flow", trusting in her ability to improvise in any situation presented to her. She learn best with "hands-on" experience, rather than by studying a book. She is uncomfortable with theory. She tends to avoid Aphrodite has a very well-developed appreciation for aesthetic beauty, and an excellent sense of space and function. Since she has the means, has many beautiful possessions, and an artfully furnished home. In general, She take great pleasure in objects of aesthetic beauty. She has a strong appreciation for the finer things in life, such as good food and good wine. Aphrodite usually like to feel strongly bonded with other people, and have a connection with animals and small children that is not found in most others. They're likely to have a strong appreciation for the beauties of nature as well. Aphrodite has a tremendous love for life, and knows how to have fun. She likes to bring others along on her fun-rides, and is typically a lot of fun to be with. She is flexible, adaptable, genuinely interested in people, and usually kind-hearted. She has a special ability to get a lot of fun out of life, but She need to watch out for the pitfalls associated with living entirely in the moment. Relations Friends: Ares, Hermes, Dionysus Enemies: Romantic Status: always available Significant Other: Hephaestus. Sexual Preference: men, if only because she has never found a woman beautiful enough for her Present Interests: Past Relationships: Too many to list. But among the Gods she's well known for her trysts with Ares, Hermes, and Dionysus Likes: Dislikes: Biographical Myth: The Greek goddess Aphrodite, the original "Golden Girl", perfectly attired for the occasion in a simple string of pearls and a couple of strategically placed scallop shells, stepped out of the ocean on the island of Cypress and set the ancient world on its ear. Aphrodite, goddess of romantic love had finally arrived! Never had there been such sensual beauty and impeccable taste. The other Greek goddesses now had their work set out for them . . . a new standard had been set, and the world would never be the same! Henceforth there would be candlelit dinners, heart-rending arias in operas, high-heeled shoes and bright red lipstick (not to mention soap operas). Romance was here and planning to stay. It is not clear how the Greek goddess Aphrodite (also known as the Roman goddess Venus) came to be "sea-born". One legend was that Aphrodite was the daughter of the Titan Uranus, formed from his genitals that had been severed and tossed into the sea by his son Cronus who was in the process of usurping his father's throne. What is certain is that the her arrival caused quite a stir! Every Greek god and goddess was dying to meet her. The Horae (Hours) welcomed her to step ashore and adorned her with the finest gold ornaments and cloth, then brought Aphrodite to Mount Olympus to present her to Zeus and the other gods and goddesses. To his credit Zeus instantly realized that this captivating creature could become the source of all sorts of trouble, her radiance stirring every man's passion and leading to constant fighting for her attention. To head off this possibility, Zeus decided she must be married at once ("taken off the market", so to speak) and awarded the goddess to his son, Hephaestus, god of the forge. It goes without saying that Hephaestus must have thought himself the luckiest man alive, especially since he was lame and "no great looker" himself. But he was reliable and hard working. Overjoyed with his good fortune in acquiring this stunning bride, Hephaestus did his best to please Aphrodite, designing and creating for her the most beautiful jewelry and furniture that had ever been seen. He even went so far as to make Aphrodite a magical golden girdle that made her irresistible to men when she wore it. Whatever could he have been thinking? Of all the imaginable pairings of Greek god and goddess, this one had to be the worst mismatch possible. Needless to say, their marriage had its ups and downs. Aphrodite, goddess that she was, felt she had married below her "class" since Hephaestus was decidedly "blue collar" even though he was a god . . . he was not at all what she, with her impeccable taste, had in mind. Aphrodite insisted upon an "open marriage" (at least for her) and indulged in numerous love affairs with both mortals and other gods. Except for a few occasions when he was overwhelmed with jealousy or resentment, Hephaestus seemed to accept this arrangement, happy to just have and hold her when he could. Indeed, their marriage seemed companionable, with little passion perhaps, but little conflict as well. It was as if everyone recognized that Aphrodite had one gift and one gift only . . . to make love. And that one gift was so special that no one seemed to resent it. While all the other gods and goddesses had lengthy lists of divine duties to perform, the goddess Aphrodite was assigned only one . . . to bring love into the world. Athena once caught Aphrodite weaving and reprimanded her for encroaching upon Athena's area of responsibility. Aphrodite was quick to apologize and vowed never to do any work ever again! Although they were surely envious of her beauty and her exciting but easy life, other women weren't usually jealous or resentful of her charms. Although none were what could be called really close friends, they found her to be quite friendly and extraordinarily generous. She even went to the extent of loaning Hera her magic girdle to help her keep Zeus' wandering eyes where they belonged. The goddess Aphrodite was always ready to help both the deities and mortals to win the loves they sought. The Greek goddess Aphrodite, however, is best known for her own love affairs, which were numerous and varied and resulted in many offspring by her various lovers. Her most notable lovers were the gods Ares, Dionysius, Hermes, Poseidon, and the mortal, Adonis. You'd think the other Greek goddesses would have been green with envy, but the willingness of the community to suspend their norms for the goddess Aphrodite is clear. Her flagrant affair with Ares, the god of war, was obvious to all and the cause of much embarrassment for her husband. Hephaestus fashioned an invisible net made of bronze and captured them in it while they were in bed together. Hauling the pair in front of a jury of the Olympians, he demanded their punishment. Reluctant to get involved, the court instead chided Hephaestus for being silly and giving Aphrodite an outfit that rendered her irresistible in the first place! Although the goddess Aphrodite seldom seemed very serious in her affairs, one love caused her great suffering. She had begged Adonis, her beloved mortal, to give up the dangerous sports he enjoyed because she could not bear to lose him. But Adonis ignored her advice and was killed by a wild boar while hunting. When he died, Aphrodite heard his cries and hastened to his side in her swan-drawn chariot. She cursed the Fates that had ordained his death and, with Adonis still in her arms, turned the blood drops that fell from his wounds onto the soil into windflowers, also known as the short-lived anemone, as a memorial to their love. Aphrodite's most famous son was Eros, the god of love, who helped her with her work. A talented archer, his job was to shoot arrows dipped in Aphrodite's love potion, hitting her unwitting victims, causing them to fall madly in love with the next person they saw. Many of the great love stories began this way, but many respectable homes were broken up as well. Although she was most often loving and generous, Aphrodite could be quite malicious and vindictive as well. She insisted upon being given the honor she felt was due her and was quick and harsh in punishing those who weren't sufficiently appreciative of her efforts. Ares, Medea, Psyche, and Atalanta, to name but a few, could attest that the Greek goddess Aphrodite's power was immense. Often the punishments rendered by the goddess Aphrodite, though severe, held important lessons embedded within them. These were lessons that sparked growth and ultimately improved the life or extended the vision of the person she was punishing, as in the case of Psyche. The influence of the Greek goddess Aphrodite can be seen as generative, far beyond that of romance, love, or desire alone. She is associated with the life-giving sea. Just as the waves lapping on the shore refresh and renew the beach, Aphrodite brings us hope and the awareness of the transforming power of love and beauty. War: She sided with Ares of course, and they would have won as well and she would have sat on his right hand side with her hand in his. She would free her self of the oppression of her marriage and win herself the second most powerful seat next to her Ares. But then she had to intervene and take away all of that hope. Mortal: She doesn’t talk about he early years, those memories belong to another girl a girl named Claudette Triage Pascale. And she was dead, only one person knew about her and that would be the woman who found her, 12, alone and dirty having runaway and ½ starved to death. But out of the ashes of Claudette, Francesca Ameretta Delacour was bourn. Francesca was found by Delphine, a loving woman who ran an escort house is Paris. Some would say that it was tragic that Frankie was raised in such a way but Francesca would not have changed it for the world. Delphine ran her house like a geisha house of old Japan. To woman who join the house where schooled in art, music, dance and conversation. Frankie grew to love theses girls and to love her life. It was an easy life for her, things came easy in a way everything felt second nature from dance to music even art. Francesca loved beautiful things and beautiful things came easy to her. Even being beautiful came to her and once she was of age it wasn’t long before her services where in high demand all across France, she even spent extended periods of time living in London and various cities within the United States.
