Annoying Origin: She was born at a time when Egypt was at the height of it's power and the predominant power of the ancient world. Born in the eighteenth dynasty to the Pharaoh Akhenaten and his Great Royal Wife Nefertiti, Sit Nesu Ankhesenpaaten was their third daughter. Greatly loved, Ankhesenpaaten grew up in the royal nursery with her five other sisters and two brothers Smenkhkare and Tutankhaten. Unlike most Egyptian women, Ankhesenpaaten learned to read and write.

Annoying Connections To Canon Characters: other than being immortal?
Annoying Special Abilities: Was the first opera singer, can paint, models, fashion sense beyond compare, can psycho analysis Methos, had two miscarriages even though pre-immortal (and immortal are sterile)
She's quite skilled with swords and a wide variety of other fighting techniques. She does carry two katanas with her, one the standard length and another that is much shorter. Having been around for over thirty-three centuries she knows a wide variety of languages and writings. She did perform in the opera when it first started in Venice however she never performed the diva roles rather she sung in supporting roles. She can paint a bit but that is solely limited to watercolors that are similiar to the artwork that was depicicted in ancient egyptian tombs, temples, and palaces. I suppose she wouuld have more strength than the typical woman her size due to her training and practice everyday but I do not think that it is noticeable. She has an eye for color and fashion. She knows how to invest her money.

Other Annoying Traits: Existing?
Please include a small sample of the worst of this story:

"You can call me Ankhe Nova," Ankhe chided gently with a brief smile before stepping into her humble abode. "Jackson gave me directions and told me that you wanted to speak with him, "Ankhe explained as she stepped inside. Ankhe though clad in her typical designer labels and fine fabrics was dressed more modestly than she did at the club, a white leather trench was worn over white slacks and a white cashmere turtleneck. Inside, Ankhe took off her gloves and unbuttoned her trench before turning to look at Nova. "What is that delicious aroma?" Ankhe smiled a bit.


After the Americans defeated the Taliban; I founded a school for orphaned girls that were similar to the ones in Egypt. There were not many children, the last report that I received stated the current total was thirteen girls. I wish I could make the number greater but I dare not call more attention to it. The girls were fed, clothed, bathed, taken care of and educated in a way that most schools and orphanages in that country would not. Sadly, these girls will not get the chance I had hoped for them. Yesterday in the middle of the night, the school was fire bombed. Why, I do not know.

Mortals would not understand this with the exception of those who are obsessive-compulsive about cleaning. How could they? Most have grown up with daily showers, deodorant and all the wonders of personal hygiene products. They do not know what it is like not to have them. Before I was Immortal and the world had not gone into the dark ages, in Egypt I bathed daily and on occasion more than that. We had personal hygiene products and were the first to develop deodorant. (They do not teach that in the history class do they? No.) In Rome and the rest of the Mediterranean world, bathing daily was not a problem in the major cities. After Rome fell, the world went dark. Bathing was considered unhealthy and it took much effort to get a hot bath weekly. While human nature may not have changed, on the whole mortals definitely smell better. Let them think I am being uptight. The opinions of mortals have never mattered much to me in the first place.

I believe so, mostly.... The only other Immortal I know of that carries a second sword is Methos. Most Immortals know how to use a sword and if they have been around long enough they pick up different fighting techniques. I would also imagine that other Immortals, like Methos, Darius, etc knew quite a bit of different languages simply because they would have had to learn the language of the places they traveled and adapted to their own homeland tongue as it developed more. There have been Immortals in the opera and those who have performed. It is possible for an Immortal to have more than one talent, just like people. Her talents are anything too outlandish and her painting does have limits. Anything other than Egyptian watercolors, she's horrible at. Several people have an eye for color and fashion, like Amanda and I've seen episodes where MacLeod invested his money in a bank and later went to claim it.

Please don't poke the author.
