'''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.
 
Stratonike has been noted for a strong tongue before the times of the Church, having alienated every one of the Union (before its conversion to aan ecclesiarchal faction) save [[Fanon:Kallisto Syrakosia|Kallisto]], some viewing it as a side effect of the Insane trait. However, this crisis has been cleared of, and the tongue seems to be softened, as shown by Stratonike's handling of Bradley Conners.

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.]]
 
=== The Great Adventures of <del>Mikuru</del> Stratonike Attalida ===
Line 74 ⟶ 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 (allthoughalthough the old Landgraabs and Altos were gone by then.)
 
=== Second Time Warp ===
 
Insanity was the thing that kept Stratonike and Kallisto as close as they were: In fact, they misinterpreted the Christopher Steel's travesty with Hypatia and Achaia as a sign of decay (which would be prophetic in retrospect), and decides to head off to establish a new household, the Union of the Insane. Admittedly, they weren't exactly friends with the Alkmaionidai, but somehow they were able to persuade both Eurydike and [[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Lysistrata Amphipolita|Lysistrata]] to join them. Once they have joined, the 4 became best of companions, swearing their lives to maintaining that companionship. With the absenseabsence of Hypatia, Stratonike soon grabbed the second-in-command position with ease, and even with Hypatia invited due to Kallisto's whim, Stratonike held on to a powerful position and refused to let go, to a point where Stratonike is considered one of the greater core members alongside slightly more skilled Kallisto and Hypatia. Here Stratonike had a second growth spurt, mastering logic, mixology, sculpting and was the first sim of the Union to master the Athletic skill, considerably boosting Stratonike's standings.
 
However, Hypatia's renewed interest in romance that led to Hypatia's romance with [[Sam Sekemoto]] caused some issues, although even before that the bond between Stratonike and Eurydike was shattered. Later on, Stratonike, along with other members except Stephanophoros and Kallisto, found romantic partners, leading to more tension and eventually the partial breakup, leading Stratonike to return to the Attalids, who still remembered Stratonike (although not as a relative), leading Stratonike to provide star bonuses to the other Attalids. With Stratonike, the secession was anything but final, seeing as her bond between the core members (save Kallisto) shattered. Stratonike could now only look to the party loving Attalids, and looked to the Sunset Valley now filled with powerful entities, to a point where Stratonike wished to travel back where the sims weren't as nearly as powerful, especially since Stratonike had the experience of having loads of adventures and skill growth in her younger years not surrounded by other supersims like Kallisto and more so, Hypatia.
Line 84 ⟶ 90:
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|&nbsp;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 Hypatia.), and later on Eurydike observed Stratonike again having the same pattern with Lilian Syrakousia.
 
[[File:BadMannerIsFunny.png|thumb|300px|Because bad manner is funny. Exercizing on labcoat in a swimming party is pure win.]]Stratonike was however a primary target in the DetenteDétente, and it was Stratonike who first normalized relations with Hypatia, which was easier since introduction of Kallistrata, alongside Kallisto (and Kallistrata's) ascension as the effective leaders, made possible with the codex. Stratonike meanwhile outside the Union was content with picnics, released from the monastic life of the Union of the Insane for now.

Starting from the left going counterclockwise: [[User:Mathetesalexandrou/Fanon:Philetairos Attalides|Philetairos]], Eumenes, Stratonike, and Parthenope.]]Stratonike, being one of the closest to Kallisto, was well aware that Kallisto had no intention of leaving Stratonike to rot, at least according to Kallisto. Stratonike is also quite wary of Kallisto's [[File:DetenteParty.png|thumb|Stratonike and Tiffany Dennis, invited by Kallisto due to the Detente policy, former directed at reconciliation with Hypatia, latter for proselytizing.]]new religion: Kallisto wants Stratonike back, and despite their warm relationship (Stratonike for some reason never quarreled Kallisto), Stratonike is very suspicious: Kallisto's move to get Philetairos's attention was somewhat unsettling, since it would have meant another period of all learning and work with no romance. Stratonike definitely wished for a compromise, despite the fact that relationship with Artie was declining rapidly, along with loss of many of her co-workers as friends. Stratonike had two choices: resist the new religion, or work as an insider, former option obviously not good for Stratonike, while the latter choice sacrifices romance. In fact, Stratonike and Kallisto talked on the phone regarding readmission: Stratonike requested some amendments to the codex, which Kallisto responded with a counteroffer: rejoin the Union to negotiate changes to the codex. Stratonike decided to delay making the judgment, as she knew Kallisto's tendency not to give in to core elements, and Stratonike fears that romance would be out of question, especially since Kallisto (and Stratonike herself) saw collapses of two superpower because of it. Kallisto would have said "Why keep holding on this nonsense? We should get rid of it, by force and inquisition if necessary," and this troubled Stratonike.

''"Feel the power!!! That's right, I'm dangerous!"'' -Stratonike after acqusitionacquisition of Pangu's axe
 
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.]]
Line 114 ⟶ 120:
''"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-StratonikeiopolisStratonikaiopolis, 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, with whichwho 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 Hypatia, while originally it was the A-cut bob.
* Despite the general positivity towards Simbots, only Stratonike and Kallisto successfully built one on the first timeline, although Hypatia and Parthenope has the parameters required to do the quest at the first timeline, and Kallistrata also being able to build one as a virtue of being a Kallisto clone: now Stratonike is accompanied by the Big 6, all having the ability to makemade a simbot and all except Kallistrata has made at least one.
* 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.
