Fanon:Demetria Mykenaia

Demetria Mykenaia, born October 16, 1925, was the former leader and the musical sim of the Beauty 4 as well as a member with good standings even at the height of the Scholars' Alliance, of which she is now a member of, as well as serving as the effective leader of it even though chain of command of the household has effectively collapsed. Demetria has a respectable set of skills that includes the mastery of Guitar, 9 points in Charisma and Gardening, 7 points in Athletic skill and Logic, 6 points in Handiness, 5 points in Drums and Martial Arts, 3 points in Cooking and 1 point each in Nectar Making and Writing. Demetria is of blood type AB.

Demetria stands as the most popular sim in the neighborhood, having the necessary perks such as the Celebrity Charisma challenge, Super Friendly Charisma challenge, and the Attractive lifetime reward. Demetria however suffers her share of scandals, some probably from false accusations, and also has the largest share of negative opinions in the neighborhood, followed by her fellows Thessalonike and Kallisto.

Anabasis
Demetria was the de facto leader of the Beauty 4, leading the Beauty 4 to the Sunset Valley now that the Attalids generated some local fame with their legendary parties, which featured many exotic stuffs. Demetria's party loving attitude was much in line with the Attalid party-mongering in general, and to impress them, Demetria started learning skills, particularly guitar, to entertain the crowd certain to appear at the Attalid doorsteps.



That policy was quite successful, and in a blink of an eye, the Attalids found themselves quite friendly with the Beauty 4, save for the outliers Kallisto and Stratonike, who would find themselves in a different dimension, befriending each other and rather aloof to the others. Demetria knew that things won't work without money, and with her newfound guitar skills, blitzed through the Music career, eventually becoming a rockstar of local fame, and when the Attalids went through their slumps, Demetria led the Beauty 4 to assume the role that Attalids once took, substituting exotic stuff for greater entertainment and higher quality music.

When Demetria took note of the wild nightlife of the Bridgeport, Demetria immediately took the Beauty 4 to a short visit at Bridgeport: it wasn't intended to be short, but Demetria soon saw the snobby celebrities, who scoffed at them despite the standing celebrities' vastly inferior statuses. Demetria was not amused, and after gaining some celebrity status of her own (and distributing that to her housemates), got out of Bridgeport and returned to Sunset Valley.

Using their immense celebrity status as well as the previous infusion of celebrities for unknown reasons, Demetria successfully spread Celebrity culture for better or worse, helped by Kallisto's construction of the Laborers' Playground club in Sunset Valley which would be the hottest place in town, and for Kallisto, additional revenue. Their domination was pretty much uncontested, and in fact, Demetria and others never knew what would hit them when a new upstart...

Hypatia
came in and subjugated them through virtue of raw skills and massive mastery comparative to the time, although it would pale in comparison to the eventual development. Demetria was rather reluctant to see a change in direction: Hypatia was that sim that would institutionalize the idea of academic monasticism, and Demetria was not eager to see a change that would lead to less parties, and Demetria only accepted this change due to encouragement in study in just about any field, although Demetria found music department less than adequate for most, despite Hypatia's neutrality (or rather, apathy) towards spending money to buy new tracks, since money never was a serious issue ever since Beauty 4's establishment of hegemony.
