Talia Trismegist
Talia is Circe's spirit reborn. She is the first human born on her home planet of Niberia in over 3,000 years. She was born without the Niberian birthmarks, called Nibmarks, on her neck.
Her family works hard to cover up what and who she really is. Because of the Niberia rings, humans have supernatural powers and are semi-immortal.
Talia can communicate with spirits, heal simple injuries, and she can control lightning. She develops her abilities and learns how to defend herself.
Her supernatural powers seem harmless at first. As she grows older, it becomes harder to hide her abilities and control the lightning. Sparks appear to becoming from her fingertips. When she gets upset, the sparks shoot from her hands.
Talia doesn't understand why she has these powers. She's afraid of them as a child, which creates confusion and fear. Intense emotions triggers the lightening. Negative emotions strengthen her abilities. Once she learns how to control them, she embraces her gifts.
Talia is naturally careful with her actions and the words she uses are well- thought out. She is a very mysterious holding all of her secrets close to her heart. She does not open up to people, often even her own twin sister. Talia knows she is different.
She knows of the legend, but she has a hard time believing the legend is about her. She must restore the balance of their world, but she doesn't know how. Talia has spent her whole life fighting something she can't see.
Circe's ring makes her feel trapped. She feels like she needs it, but it also connects her to Hunter. Talia is split between two worlds. She lives in a world that she doesn't belong, but she can't leave behind. Talia is fighting another world that she wants to belong to.

Olivia Trismegist
Olivia is Circe's soul reborn. She was the normal twin and sometimes she feels ignored. Her powers are internal, like visions, predictions, empathic, and telepathic.
Olivia communicates with Talia telepathically. She can sense what others are feeling, especially powerful emotions like pain or anger. She can also make small predictions, like who is about to walk into the room or someone is about to take a fall.
One night, Olivia gets into an argument with her twin sister Talia. Their bedroom lights up. Lightbulbs explode and electronics turn off and on. Everything in the house goes crazy. Talia gets so mad that bolts of lightning shoot from her hands toward her, but Olivia predicts the event and gets out of the way. The bolts of lightning blows a large hole in the wall.
Olivia dates men that would be considered not very intelligent, so they will follow her blindly into a self-serving relationship and worship the ground she walks on. She expects to be put on a pedestal wanting all the attention. This only plays deeper into her insecurities.
Olivia is outgoing and fun, but she can also be self-centered and insecure. She is always concerned about her looks and she only feels accepted if she's beautiful. Because she believes she has to compete for her parents' attention, Olivia wears colorful and outrageous self-designed outfits. It's her way of standing apart from her sister.
Her true personality comes out when she is forced to evaluate how she treats relationships. Olivia has a deep passion for life and she loves more fiercely than she ever wanted to admit. Olivia is not as shallow and self-centered as she wants others to believe.
