Fanon:Achaia Oropia

Achaia Oropia is the artistic member of the Beauty 4, and also an standing member of the Scholars' Alliance. Achaia was directly involved in the collapse of the Union of the Insane as one of the four sims that Christopher Steel was engaged with romantically alongside Hypatia. Achaia also stands as the remaining girlfriend to Christopher, Jamie having slapped him, Christopher slapping Hypatia, and Ayesha having died of drowning. Achaia also has a great arsenal of skills fitting a member of the Scholars' Allaince: Achaia mastered Sculpting, Cooking, and Writing, while having in addition 7 points each in Athletic skill, Handiness and Painting, 3 points in Fishing, 5 points in Charisma, 4 points in Martial Arts, 2 points in Nectar Making, and 1 point each in Bass and Gardening.

Achaia also has seen the effect of a low household order: Demetria can no longer get a mobilized house and thus could host only 1 party, and Achaia herself is locked against her former mate Thessalonike, although it is not surprising since Achaia stuck with Christopher while Thessalonike cheated twice, while Achaia had good sense of humor while Thessalonike used to have no sense of humor. Achaia however is in good terms with most of the members of Union of the Insane, being an old friend to Hyperia and Kallisto. However, Achaia wasn't impressed by Demetrios, despite the fact that Demetrios is Hypatia's stepson.

The rise
Achaia, compared to the other members, looked rather plain (while Thessalonike may look shocking to some), and quite honestly, Achaia's development was rather uninteresting at the surface: Achaia's mastery of writing and cooking was utilized less and less as Achaia grew more autonomous, and more separated from Kallisto. At the beginning, Achaia was supposed to be paired up with Kallisto as introverts while Demetria was paired with Thessalonike as extroverts: however, Achaia was more of a free agent to say it in a way, since Kallisto was too independent of the Beauty 4 agenda initially set by Demetria as a whole. Achaia henceforth grew closer to the de facto leader Demetria, since Thessalonike had no sense of humor then, while Achaia has her great sense of humor. Achaia tagged along since Achaia saw a prospect of being near the spotlight for bachelors, Achaia's prospect being sheltered by a guy who would allow Achaia to sleep as much as she'd like to. Although Achaia might not have generated as nearly as much attention as she'd deserve, Achaia happened to grow in skills, to a point where Achaia is not inferior to the any of the other members. Despite her tendency to be sleepy and romantic, Achaia surprisingly has a record of military service: Achaia was once a Wingwoman, surprising as Achaia is the most unmilitary of the bunch: Demetria might have the Charisma, Kallisto Handiness, and Thessalonike physical stats, Achaia adapted by building up respectable skill with the wrench and exersizing quite often.

Eventually, Achaia found her career path in writing, and beefed up by her love of books and romance, succeeded as a romance author, raking up plenty of money and having a respectable royalty to boot. Achaia is known for her numerous hits and bestseller romance novels, which were unfortunately lost to the second time warp, surviving only with the first edition copies held by the other members of the Beauty 4. Under Hypatia (Hyperia back then), Achaia put on wings and proceeded all the way to being a Prize-winning Author, helped by Hypatia's love of arts (which also led Achaia to further utilize Sculpting skills that she mastered before Hypatia's arrival)

Trivia

 * Achaia and Demetria qualifies the first part of being a core member according to the codex: Both have an aggregate skill level exceeding 70 (72 and 71 respectively), however, due to the secondary parameter of 60 in technical realms, neither Achaia nor Demetria qualify can be considered core members at the state should they join the Meris Sophiston.
 * Achaia also is the only sim outside of the Union of the Insane to have the parameter to fulfill the Renaissance Sim lifetime wish. Demetria only needs 1 point on Fishing and Charisma to master the skills and hence fulfilling the parameter.
 * Achaia was a former member of the military.
 * Achaia (along with the rest of the Beauty 4) happened to appear in their old status at one point in the first time warp, and the copied Achaia died of fire, which was likely since Achaia was a heavy sleeper.
