OTHER . zestasiá is an incredibly well known god, being around since the creation of myrth. zestasiá was forged from pure flame, molded by her mother, hæth, as the perfect goddess. this, of course, is false .

zestasiá is the embodiment of flame, and of course is incredibly hot (in both instances). her internal temperature can reach that of 1,300°f, or simply can be regular, like 98°f. it really depends on her mood, and whether or not she wants to be intimidating. speaking of which, her hair is made of pure magma and constantly floats around her. despite this, it's incapable of burning people and actually feels somewhat like warm water. it doesn't stop her from manipulating it to make herself look bigger when trying to intimidate people .

not that she needs it. zestasiá is a whopping 7'2, or 219 cm. she is one of the tallest deities, and loves to boast about it .

because she is so well known, zestasiá has quite a lot of friends and blessings. most notably, she's friends with the god jynovi, who is known to be colder to those from the immortal realm. he warmed up to her, though, quite ironically as well since he can't take any sort of heat. he does, though, find her back to be surprisingly comfortable and is often found sleeping against it. she doesn't mind, and simply works when he does this. what she does mind, though, is the constant teasing about it. she does not find men attractive romantically, and despite being constantly told other deities still continue .

most of zestasiá's jewelry are blessings, too. she has some from her champions, eos and amaru (being her sun and gem earrings), one from jynovi (her necklace), skotádi (her snakebite piercings), deciate (her left ring), and amari (her right ring). she hides the other blessings around her house .

zestasiá adores her people, the sko, and greets each one of them when they die. it's exhausting, yes, since mortals perish often, but she loves every bit of it, and wouldn't trade it for the world .

her name literally means warmth in greek, and you can use ζεστασιά instead if wanted .

is possibly the deity who interacts with their people the most. she adores her people and takes every moment she can interacting with them, although they don't actually know it's her .

as mentioned before, zestasiá is a godborn. she was forged from the very core of the planet by her mother, hæth, and so is the embodiment of flame. if she were to pass on her ability, it's likely that she would simply turn back into a flame .

her sister is skotádi! not by blood, of course, but both were forged by hæth and so call each other sisters. unfortunately, time has drifted them apart, and now they barely speak .

some of her other siblings are a lot lesser known, at least that they are related. aalto, the god of the sea, is zestasiá's older brother. the two don't talk often, due to her brother's curse and zestasiá's inability to go into water without great pain .

some cast-off gods that are related to her are hecate and aneria. both of which don't remember her anymore, and she mourns for the loss of her siblings .
