✿ what is this kiamara's favorite easter activity? explain;;
➳ "Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country."
Antheia hails from the small tropical island of Bermuda, and every Easter, there is a festival that she particularly enjoys. It is tradition that on Good Friday, the entire island participates in the kite festival. That morning, the sky is dotted with vibrant, colorful, primarily hexagonal, kites made of tissue paper and wood. These are known as Bermuda kites and are only ever flown around Easter. The flying of kites is supposed to symbolize the ascension of Christ, but being pagan, the symbolism of the event is not really important to Antheia. She is much more interested in the festivities to be had. Ever since she could remember she was always ecstatic to wake up the Friday before Easter and run down to the beach with her homemade kite. The atmosphere was always vibrant and lively as music played and she stuffed her face with delicious food. Dancing is an absolute must and usually Antheia grabs a total stranger and dances her heart out with them, despite initial protests. The rest of the day is spent lazily flying a kite that soars overhead and hoping that it doesn't get tangled with her neighbor's kite. Over the years, she has actually gotten quite skilled at crafting these kites, and even makes extras for the kids at the orphanage in her town. She often volunteers her time there in hopes she'll brighten the kids' day. They generally look to her as mother figure. All the kids know her by name and sometimes like to follow her around the town. In addition to kite flying, she usually stands outside the church with some children early in the morning and hands out Easter lilies. It's a bit of a spectacle to see a woman with flowers weaved into her messy hair and hung around her neck outside of a church, but the church goers seem appreciative.

➳ "Rule the day, and let your generosity be your legacy."
Many would describe Antheia as analogous to a firecracker. She's loud, bright, dazzling, and sometimes really in-your-face. Her outgoing demeanor and positive attitude is what draws many to her. Antheia likes to describe herself as a holly tree, despite the fact that they tend to be prickly and unpleasant. Hollies are protective, stubborn, cheerful, and shine in even their darkest moments. See, she likes to look up Celtic myth and describe others as trees based on their personalities. ("Of course you're a know it all, you're such a Hazel!" or "You ask too many questions, don't be a Reed.") She'll even to this to strangers and if she knows you well enough, she might slip and call you by your tree instead of your actual name. She tries not to do that though as it can get confusing.
Much like a tree, Antheia's open arms offer protection and comfort to all. Being the motherly individual she is, she likes to care for others and spread her joy. This is why she often visits the local orphanage, and she can often be seen with a small band of children dancing and singing with her. She is like a beacon of light atop a lighthouse, leading those lost and scared into her warm embrace. Those children are like family to her and she would never allow anyone to harm them. She is fiercely protective of them, and as well as her other loved ones for that matter. Despite being almost constantly caring, Antheia does have her moments of stubborn selfishness. If there's something that she wants to accomplish, she will do it no matter what, and she won't care who she has to knock out of her way. While her intense determination is admirable, she really doesn't think about others and rarely makes compromises.
Even though she may slip up from time to time, Antheia makes it her goal to keep a cheery disposition at all times. She is so fun-loving and excitable that it's almost childish. She just wants everyone to be happy and if she can contribute to someone else's happiness, then she is content. She hardly worries about small little details, as she learned a long time ago that it's just not worth it. Others either love or hate her constant cheeriness. Some appreciate it while others find it utterly annoying. Even when Antheia is having a bad day, she tries a keep a smile on her face, it could always be worse, after all. When the sky is dark and everything seems to be crumbling around her, Antheia will toughen up and shine even when the world is trying to suffocate her light. She is a bright flower, blooming and growing even when the weeds are wrapped around her neck. She will not be shot down by the cynical world that she was born into.
