'''Stratonike Attalida''', (Grc. Στρατονίκη Ατταλίδα/Ατταλίδη) born December 28th near the end of 3rd century B.C. at Pergamon, is the main character of the Attalid Chapter of the story, and the first of the supersims following the path of academic monasticism. Stratonike is of blood type O.
Stratonike, unlike her Alkmaionid Counterpart, experienced plenty of adventures (mainly because Alkmaionids were played mostly without expansion packs) and once again becomes a major character in the Second Time Warp. Stratonike formerly essentially the third-in-command of the Union of the Insane, having mastered [[Martial Arts]], [[Sculpting]], [[Inventing]], [[Handiness]], [[Mixology (The Sims 3)|Mixology]], [[Gardening]], [[Logic]], [[Fishing]], [[Athletic skill]], [[Cooking (The Sims 3)]], [[Painting]], and [[Writing]] along with 1 point in Piano and 5 points in [[Riding]] and thus just behind [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakousia|Kallisto]] and [[Fanon:Hypatia Pydnaia|Hypatia]], and later on Kallistrata Pellaia. Currently, Stratonike resides with her original household, the Attalids, helping promote the entire family to stardom (which isn't that much of a feat, considering the growing and recovering remains of Scholars' Alliance having drawn male members from romances which has its share of stars, and the Union of the Insane, loaded with highly skilled superstars and disciples.

Line 48 ⟶ 55:
Incidentally, when Stratonike mastered invention, Stratonike was solicited by the Science department, allowing Stratonike to create the first simbot in the Fanon universe. However, it would only mark the beginnings of her long list of memorable events...
However, not all people appreciate long tales. You like it how Stratonike likes it? [[Fanon:Stratonike Attalida/Laconic|Dig straight to the point.]]

Line 71 ⟶ 80:
Hypatia's grand scheme incidentally included taking Stratonike to the fold, and to the Attalids, it sounded like a great deal for two reasons: Attalids would gain a powerful ally, further cementing their position on the neighborhood backed by Demetria and now Stratonike. Secondly, Attalid love of party was rather soured by Stratonike's relative aversion to parties (compared to Olympias and Thetis' mere indifference), and a loss of a party pooper sounded like a great deal to the party-loving Attalids, who kept Theophania in their hold simply because Theophania was a show indeed, and Kallisto's simbots occupying the old Crumplebottom residence didn't draw any attention at all.
In this scheme, Stratonike initially was slow to grow: Stratonike didn't even touch mixology initially, while Hypatia and later Kallisto would be fond of the benefits of it and immediately delved into it. In fact, Stratonike was largely held back by her head start: Stratonike would eventually fall behind for the most part, developing quite slowly in the first Time Warp. But then, another rift occurred, and the household would be severed from this timeline, leaving families behind, although Stratonike's family quickly returned for unknown reasons, major loss being Kallisto's simbots rather than any other powerful families there (

Insanity was the thing that kept Stratonike and Kallisto as close as they were: In fact, they misinterpreted the Christopher Steel's travesty with
However,
Stratonike however was not exactly blameless: Stratonike was somewhat known for her ill manners, often insulting people at will, noted by Kallistrata who observed Stratonike's conversation with Eurydike, which might have led to Stratonike's later attitudes, where Eurydike was the one with the insulting (Despite Eurydike's[[Schmoozer| Schmoozer]] trait.) Similarly, this is inferred to be the reason why Stratonike pretty much alienated most of the members of the Union of the Insane (asides from [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakousia|Kallisto]] for unknown reasons, compared to Lysistrata whose meat was targeted only towards

Stratonike relaxes much more in the Attalid household, accompanying them in their frequent visits to the dance club, as well as taking breaks more frequently. Later when Kallisto establishes the idea of Initiate households to house the initiates, Stratonike decides to take Kallisto's counteroffer and moves in, returning to the Union of the insane, knowing the potential consequence of the move.

==Expansion to China==
''"Feel the power!!! That's right, I'm dangerous!"'' -Stratonike after
The Hekatonschoinos chapter eventually paid a visit to China: the initial reason was to purchase cookbooks native to China, but soon Stratonike took an ell when given an inch. Stratonike already possessed a level 2 visa when Stratonike paid a long-awaited visit to China where Stratonike died of (and rose again from) a meteor. Immediately did Stratonike took the children to visit the marketplace, and the children ate dim sums, a most welcome thing as they were hungry from the trip. Stratonike then purchased the cookbooks and immediately took the tasks assigned by the locals, mostly menial tasks. However, all changed when Stratonike was given the task to find the Pangu's axe: Stratonike disarmed traps, dived in wells, and stepped on invisible activation panels and eventually acquired the Pangu's axe. With the power, Stratonike smashed rocks at will, and eventually gained the level 3 Visa. However, the truly important part was that in the process of getting the quest itself, Stratonike was to befriend plenty of the locals, some of them impressed by the new religion.[[File:StratonikeAcquiresAx.png|thumb|Stratonike acquires the Pangu's Axe, marking a new bookmark in Chinese society.]]
Not only that, Stratonike used the visa to acquire a vacation house, and by doing so, paved the way for the religion to seep into China. The Pangu's Axe was immediate hit with the house, and Kallisto praised Stratonike for the discovery, and immediately worked on making clones of the artifacts.
==Sunset Valley and the Hardliner Crisis==
''"You must understand, the Church has an abject history with romance. I know, because I was involved in it."'' Stratonike, while cheering up Bradley
Like all the other members of the Hekatonschoinos Chapter, Stratonike paid a visit to Sunset Valley to meet up with their old friends, who unexpectedly completed the resurrection initiative and put the Church in a favorable light to the Sunset Valley locals. With the massive pro-Church sentiments, Kallisto happily played along, becoming surprisingly lenient to parties for a time being, hosting several herself in the tradition of the public entertainment system to keep the population happy. Stratonike took an active part in the Hekatonschoinos Chapter's attempt at cementing the Church popularity, while not neglecting to teach the disciples, despite the fact that increased need to spend time with the Omni Plant initiative led to a shift towards more individualistic learning rather than collective pass-on.[[File:BradleyAsksPermission.png|thumb|Bradley: "Hello, I know that the Church has an anti-romance approach, but may go out with Esomena?"
Stratonike: That's not my domain. You should ask Kallisto, who is Esomena's guardian and trainer.]]
The Church however gets into a crisis that might have undone all the work that made the Church positively viewed upon: it all started when [[Fanon:Esomena Protogena|Esomena]] attended a prom and ended up engaging in a romantic relationship with Bradley Conners. The problem was that the Conners family was an unusual ally of the Church from its beginning at Sunset Valley, and thus there was a potential Scylla and Charybdis dilemma: allow the romance and see Esomena going decadent, or strike down the romance and potentially turn Conners family (and in turn, destroy the honor of the Church) against them. Kallisto of course chose the hardline option, censuring Esomena and leading to Esomena requesting that love relationship end to Bradley, infuriating Bradley. However, Stratonike served as an unusual conciliator: Stratonike was the one actively cheering Bradley up, and teaching him some skills and providing other measures to keep his mood up. With that, Stratonike paved the way for reconciliation, something that was facilitated by the fact that Esomena and Bradley were still friends despite the break. Bradley found Stratonike a very nice person, and sooner or later found himself welcome in the Church grounds: even Kallisto soon approved of him once the romance crisis was over, and Bradley ended up closer to Esomena than ever, although he still has the mental wound that needs to heal. Stratonike was thanked by Kallisto profusely: Stratonike pretty much handled the crisis perfectly for Esomena and the reputation of the Church was saved, or rather grew thanks to Chrysanthema's community service.
==Sphere of Influence==
''"No more of this Western imperial nonsense! But then, it never hurts to establish an apoikia. The Egyptians didn't mind in Rhakotis for sure!"''
Like Kallistrata, who had her eyes set on making colonies in Egypt (or Aigyptos as they say it) as to spread the Ecclesiarchal way of life as well as to negate the ever-growing threat of permeation of glorification of romance, Stratonike had an agenda in China: ever since the Pangu's axe incident, Stratonike was hailed as a legend in China, quite respected by most of the locals of the rural China. Stratonike capitalized on that reverence and made moves to create a Hellenic colony in China for the purpose of trade and proselytism. Stratonike was well aware of the Chinese reverence for the Confucian tradition, and Stratonike knew that self-righteous evangelism will not work in the Chinese environment, and Stratonike, unlike Kallistrata who wanted a clear Hellenic cultural eminence in reconstructing and colonizing Alexandreia, took a more cautious approach, preferring a slow conversion involving syncretism. The name of the new apoikia itself was a Hellenic one, (not even Stratonike had a strong command of Chinese, not helped by the globalization of Simlish) Attaleia-Stratonikaiopolis, but the design of the city was heavily syncretic, involving both Greek elements such as columns and marble as well as the Chinese structural arts such as the pagoda and the Asian-style roofs.
== Trivia ==
* Stratonike is of Greek Macedonian origins, like the historical Stratonike of Pergamon, who Stratonike of fanon is NOT derived from. In fact the father of [[wikipedia:Philetaerus|Philetairos Attalos]] may have hailed from Macedon (convenient since Stratonike of the fanon is blood related to the other Attalid fanon sims)
* There is an actual [[wikipedia:Stratonice of Pergamon|Stratonike of Pergamon]] who is incidentally the wife of Eumenes II (who himself incidentally has a representative sim in the Fanon), but this Stratonike is not in any means a portrayal of this Stratonike (after all, Stratonike of Pergamon wasn't of Attalid blood), nor is this sim an representative of any Stratonike's in history and certainly not a representation of Stratonike of Syria.
* Stratonike's mastery of sculpting is an ode to the Stratonike of Pergamon, who has 2 statues in her honor placed in Pergamon and Delos, as well as an tribute to Damophon who made a statue of Stratonike of Pergamon free of charge.
* Current Stratonike looks different from the original end product Stratonike: most notable adjustment include more upward position of the chin that makes the current one look less haggish, and the current Stratonike uses the same hairstyle as
* Despite the general positivity towards Simbots, only Stratonike and Kallisto successfully built one on the first timeline, although
* Stratonike's personality (reflected with the quotes) is based on Alkor and Lysander of Diablo II, albeit lighter and less harsh.
* Stratonike holds the position as the sole Fanon page to link to the [[Death Flower]] article.
* Stratonike is the only member of the Big 6 not to get a perfect score on the placement test, scoring 2370, missing out the 30 points in communication. Jessica, a serf, scored over 2200.
* Stratonike is so far the only Fanon Sim to have 7 traits.
