I don't know, I'm kind of split on the Hestia thing.

I mean, on one hand, she is a virgin goddess. On the other, quite a few people seem to fit her attitude/traits really well (myself being one of them). Is there any way we could pull a Rick Riordan and give a virgin goddess kids, or at least disciples?

In Roman theology, the Vestal Virgins (or Vestales) were the caretakers of the sacred hearth. They're actually quite cool, and being a Vestal virgin essentially gave you the highest possible status as a woman.

If you're still wondering what that was about, Vesta is the Roman form of Hestia.

As it is, though, I highly identify with Hestia, especially as RR characterizes her. I'm the homebody who likes to watch over everyone else. [: The forgotten one. The one who just wants to solve everyone else's problems (Hestia gave up her throne just to keep everyone from fighting about Dionysus' appearance).

YES, I knew I forgetting something there. Sounds perfect. Thanks for the reminder!

Same here. I love to be at home (trolololol I'm homeschooled actually), family is probably my biggest priority, I hate conflict and try to fix things, etc. /highfive

So, mod? Any chance of adding a Vestal Virgin section to camp?
