Biography
Named for his beauty and also from the butterfly cos of his wing colour. Also, I realised the actual lore behind his name like...an hour after I named him...so he's my Wind Rep now cx
Adonis is a rather flightly male fae, always flitting to and fro on the breeze. He has been known to be quite vain, and enjoys staring at his reflection in the many pools of water that can be found in the Lair of Many References. He takes pride in his appearance, and doesn't hesitate to let newcomers know of his elevated 'Flight Rep' status. Out of all of the reps Adonis is the most vocal about his position, considering himself higher than the 'commoners' in the rest of the Lair. The others, while grateful for the opportunity, are a lot more humble. Adonis consequentially has few friends. He and Felicity however get on like a house on fire. He's also on relatively civil terms with Cyan, since the spiral has introduced him to a colleague who can get his beauty supplies for half the market price.

Adonis (/əˈdɒnɪs, əˈdoʊnɪs/; Greek: Ἄδωνις), in Greek mythology, is a central figure in various mystery religions. There has been much scholarship over the centuries concerning the multiple roles of Adonis, if any, and his meaning and purpose in Greek religious beliefs. Modern scholarship sometimes describes him as an annually renewed, ever-youthful vegetation god, a life-death-rebirth deity whose nature is tied to the calendar. His name is often applied in modern times to handsome youths, of whom he is the archetype. The most detailed and literary version of the story of Adonis is a late one, in Book X of Ovid's Metamorphoses. The central myth in its Greek telling: Myrrha, daughter of Cinyras, king of Assyria, conceives a child by him through trickery. Cinyras finds out and is determined to kill her, when the gods intervene and turn her into a myrrh tree. Nine months later the baby Adonis comes out of the tree. Aphrodite fell in love with the beautiful youth (possibly because she had been wounded by Eros' arrow). Aphrodite sheltered Adonis as a new-born baby and entrusted him to Persephone. Persephone was also taken by Adonis' beauty and refused to give him back to Aphrodite. The dispute between the two goddesses was settled by Zeus (or by Calliope on Zeus' behalf): Adonis was to spend one-third of every year with each goddess and the last third wherever he chose. He chose to spend two-thirds of the year with Aphrodite. Adonis was killed by a wild boar, said to have been sent variously by Artemis, jealous of Adonis' hunting skills or in retaliation for Aphrodite instigating the death of Hippolytus, a favorite of the huntress goddess; or by Aphrodite's paramour, Ares, who was jealous of Aphrodite's love for Adonis; or by Apollo, to punish Aphrodite for blinding his son, Erymanthus. Adonis died in Aphrodite's arms, who came to him when she heard his groans. When he died she sprinkled the blood with nectar, from which sprang the short-lived anemone, which takes its name from the wind which so easily makes its petals fall. And so it is the blood of Adonis that each spring turns to red the torrential river, the Adonis River (also known as Abraham River or Nahr Ibrahim in Arabic) in modern Lebanon. Afqa is the sacred source where the waters of the river emerge from a huge grotto in a cliff 200 metres (660 feet) high. It is there that the myth of Astarte (Venus) and Adonis was born.
