Hestia, or Tia to friends, is the type of girl you'd expect to see attending peace rallies and animal rights protests. She'd usually be the one giving the amazing speeches or encouraging everyone on with just her amazing attitude. She's also horrible at hiding her emotions, and that's something everyone can see just by looking at her face.
Hestia is very empathic, able to put herself into anyone's shoes and understand what and why they're feeling. Sometimes all the grief and injustice in the world really gets her down, and she is prone to being found sitting in front of the news and sobbing her heart out. It's at moments like these that Tia is a depressing realist, not seeing how the world could ever change. And for her, that's the worst feeling of all to have.
Tia's one big problem is not being able to say 'no' to anyone else's problems. Being the feeling-master she is, she knows where everyone's coming from and exactly why they're feeling the way they are, and obviously, she'll do her best to try and help them in any way she can. She's a pushover in this sense, because she's so busy helping others that she'll forget to help herself, to protect her own wants and needs. Often she'll sacrifice something in her life to make others' live better, whether it be a simple gift or a volunteer effort. Maybe she'd like to stand up for what she'd like, but she feels like that would be selfish and is too embarrassed to do so, despite all she does for others. She needs to learn to fight for herself- or find someone who can.

♥ Desiree- desiree and tia first met when tia was being pushed around in the bakery line, and desiree spoke up for her- the start of a very, very close friendship. Desiree is tia's best 'girlfriend', and they can often be found giggling at cute boys who pass or eating pastries at Desiree's bakery, which in Tia's opinion is the best bakery of all, with the food just tasting that much sweeter with the addition of the two's friendship. Tia will defend the bakery to the end of time, and Desiree will defend Tia- she'd fight the sun if she could, if that would help Tia in any way.
♥ Alex - Bonded over their shared goal of standing up for people who couldn't stand up for themselves, Alex and Tia get along pretty well. Tia finds Alex to be a really sweet guy, and it's easy to just talk to him about what she feels about others, since he's probably the only one who even halfway gets it.
♥ kurt- kurt and hestia are almost polar opposites, with him taking every opportunity to talk about himself and her taking every excuse not to. but hey, opposites attract, right? hestia tends to encourage kurt on his boasts, which would annoy most people, but she is actually fascinated by his life and job and in her logic, listeners learn more. kurt, on the other hand, will stand up for hestia when she's getting pushed around- he won't actually physically fight them though, because that would be unfair to his opponent- and this makes hestia both relieved and embarrassed.

You open your eyes to reveal a mirror of the flames burning beside you. You see so many faces, so many emotions, so many lives flashing in your mind, as vivid as if you lived them for yourself. You lose yourself in the memories, tears dampening the fire in your eyes as you feel everything. Everything.
Softness on your eyelids jerks you out of the dream, words you don’t understand drift past your ears, but you are comforted. You know you are safe here. The warm feelings wrap around you like the smoke from the hearth.
Then. A word you understand. ‘Hestia.’ That is you. Little Hestia, the goddess of the flames. You smile, so innocent yet already so elegant, and the world smiles with you.
You grow up, but you never grow old. From your first words, you show you can speak. From your first actions, you show that you care. And from your first tears, you show that you are too scared to stand up for what you want, too busy giving others what they want to realize that you matter too.
You escape this grinding world through the rabbit-hole of your mind, doing all the things you cannot do in your own personal wonderland. But no matter how hard you try, you cannot fully escape reality. You can run, but you can never hide.
The grief, the pain, the injustice. You feel all, the emotions of the unfortunate unbearably heavy on your shoulders. You want to run again, but you know it will be in vain. You know that the only option is to stay, is to stay and fight for those who can’t.
But are you strong enough to fight for yourself?
