Sorcha Byrne and her twin used to love mythology when they were little. Their parents will tell them stories about the different gods and goddesses, and naturally, her twin brother's favorite is the King of the Gods, Zeus. But she was more drawn to Hestia. The goddess of the hearth, home, and family. While Hestia was most known for tending the hearth and ensuring the well-being of her community, that wasn't what made Sorcha interested in her. It was the fact that she's wise enough to keep to herself, stay in a quiet place, and save herself from all the dramas around her. She's the greatest unbothered queen, and Sorcha see herself in her. The only difference is that their hearths are far different from one another. She's like a frosty version of Hestia. Not that she's unfeeling or anything. She's just more comfortable with ignoring everything around her. Since she makes no effort to try to understand the world outside of her own, it wasn't surprising that it's now causing her problems. So here she is facing a dilemma since her no-nonsense attitude is causing problems at work. She was expecting to get fired, but the Dawson siblings are really good employers.

Ninety days? Damn it. Someone just please burn me and sacrifice me to the gods and goddesses, or it would be Daze Henderson that I will offer as one!
