Near the beginning, when Zeus married Hera, a dark thunder cloud appeared with a pink cloud crib resting on top of it. Hermes was about to give a message to Hera and Zeus when suddenly, Hermes found the cloud, looked in the crib, and saw a baby wrapped in a leaf. He picked her up with all her things and he took her home and took off the leaf. She was wearing a breastplate. It had her name Anelly on it but once Hermes said the name it disappeared. Anelly lived with Hermes till she was at the age of three, and once she was walking and talking Hermes took her to Athena to have her raise Anelly there. Athena asked what her name was. Hermes said it was Anelly, but Athena didn't believe him. She picked up the toddler and said she looked more like a Scarous. Once she said that the breast plate burned like the intensity of a thousand suns. The inscription stated this:
Her name shall be Anelly,
For that's what I chose,
If you change her name,
You too will be her foes. Athena put her down. Then she agreed with Hermes and took the baby off his hands. While Anelly grew she found her powers, and learned to control them. Some of her powers were invisibility, mind controlling, lulling people to sleep, and flying. When Anelly was 12 she got control of flying so she flew all the time. She was very fast, pretty close to Hermes' speed. Though she didn't have any wings she floated. On her way back home from defense class she flew into Hermes. She didn't know who Hermes, was though he looked awfully familiar. Hermes said "pardon me," and he was on his way. After that she never forgot him. When Anelly turned 13 she found she had the power of invisibility. She went down into the underworld and stole Hades' helmet. Once he found it was not on his head he was confused. He went searching for it. Anelly threw the helmet. Hades heard a big splash, and there was his helmet in the river of death. Without thinking about it Hades dived in the river to get his helmet. What he didn't know is that Anelly was sneaking back home. Once she got home Zeus and Athena were glaring at her. Anelly asked, "What did I do?" Then Hades came with his helmet and spirits were still grasping it with their broken limbs. She got a punishment to go and help Hades receive the dead for a year. Hades wanted her to stay and be his slave but Anelly defeated him, and that's why she's a heroine. When Anelly was 14 she learned the techniques of lulling, foresight, and mind control because in the month of May she lulled Athena to sleep so Athena wouldn't have to put up with Anelly's headaches. In the middle of the night Athena woke up to screaming. She went in Anelly's bedroom and tried to wake her up by shaking her. Just then Anelly transferred her foresight to Athena, who then fell in a faint. Anelly's foresight was the over throwing of Hercules.
When Anelly's 15th birthday came, she was named a goddess of love, war, confidence, mischief, and song. Zeus also made Hermes and Athena her guardians. Hermes brought her a shield he handcrafted himself. It had stripes going around the edge and a cloud with a lightning bolt in the middle. It was circular and would block most weapons. Hermes also brought her crown she wore as a baby, arrows, and her multi weapon. Her multi weapon looked and felt like a wooden pole, but you could press the cracks and crevices and weapons would pop out. Her multi weapon has a small bow, spike ball and chain, sword, ax, a whip, and a pocket to keep her poison in. One last thing Hermes gave her was her flying cat Pelly, who brought Anelly's spunky and fun side out. Anelly had short brown hair curled out at the bottom, green eyes and she always wore her breastplate. She's not married yet but she's still looking for that special someone. Anelly had no weaknesses or anything that saddens her.
