Name: Hope (Elpis)

Age: ???

Species: Spirit/personification of false hope

And so it was Hope that saved humanity from the evil and miseries that were unleashed from the depths of Pandora's box...or so some would believe. So Hope themself wants to believe. In actuality, the story is a bit more complicated than that. After all, Hope emerged from Pandora's box just the same as the others. There's a good reason that other stories suggest Hope is just an extension of suffering.

An extension of Moros, who wants to reclaim them. To make them realize that the "hope" they give is just as vicious as the things that he, himself, could inflict.

But they will never accept that. Not truly.

They tell themself that the hope they spread amongst the people is good. That it's better for them that way, to deny and ignore their destinies until it's finally claimed them. Everyone deserves comfort. Deserves to believe that everything is okay-- that they are okay.

Even if it's only a beautifully woven falsity.

#[Hope -headcanons-] #*waves hands* A new baby! #to go along with Nova's new baby! #I feel like they're a compulsive liar honestly #at least when it comes to the things that they'd say to give people 'hope' #They also do get a kick out of giving people this hope and then either taking that hope away themself...or seeing it be taken away #They can probably also feed off of that sort of thing I'm thinking #but they would never admit to either of those things of course because that's not good! And they're good! #Moros is trying to make them worse in a horrible no good very bad way and Hope is...I suppose trying to make Moros a little better but idk #they probably know that's impossible #but at the same time they convince themself of things that aren't quite true all the time so maybe that's actually a thing that they believ #Aside from that though they just want to prove him wrong #they like being the hero what do you mean they're causing people suffering? nuh-uh!!
