Honest

While often blunt, there's no denying that Hestia prefers to be honest whenever possible. She's no saint, of course, and readily admits as such, but would prefer to go the more honest route whenever possible. Even her rough demeanor can soften when she's forced to be honest about something that could be difficult for the recipient, even if she knows she has no real motive to soften the blow.

Rough

Unfortunately, her general demeanor is rather rough despite her kinder attitude. Her accent makes it clear that her struggles in the Backstreets has been lifelong, and she may be insensitive towards those of higher-class with matters that she is used to seeing all the time, such as death. The only exception to this is when she can see they're already down (and don't need to feel worse) and children (who are too innocent in her eyes to actually understand).

Hard-working

While living with her already hard-working mother had gotten the ball rolling, losing her mother forced Hestia to step up and learn to survive for herself. While she didn't register with the Hana Association in her main verse, she was typically performing odd jobs for a variety of clients; in her LCB verse, this was how she lived prior to finally swallowing her doubts and registering to be a Grade 9 Fixer.

Stubborn

While she may seem easygoing at times, Hestia can dig her heels in against anything she despises, up until irreversible harm is on the table -- and even then, she will still be looking for a way to escape the situation. Of course, this can only do so much within the clutches of the City.

Introspective

While some people are content to live their lives without questioning themselves, Hestia isn't one of them. This trait is less present within her main verse due to her already knowing what she wants to do; however, in her LCB verse, this is all the more present thanks to the variables that are introduced to her.

Reckless

Sometimes, the first course of action isn't the wisest, but Hestia will still go for it. Of course, when she hits a wall, sometimes, she will simply try to claw her way over it.

About

Hestia's father was always a mystery to her, having abandoned her mother before she herself was born; however, her mother was a mid-ranked Fixer who had quit her job in order to raise Hestia as a single mother. Indeed, to ensure that Hestia would have a better lifestyle, Rhea took Hestia with her to live in the Backstreets of District Q, where the two could still retain individuality as opposed to District T's suffocating loss of color. The two had been very close, with Hestia's mother working to instill kindness and the importance of hard work into her daughter. The two cooked together, read together, experienced joy together, and wept together.

However, tragedy would strike when Hestia was 8 years old, when a fight in the local Backstreets drew too close to her home. In order to protect Hestia, her mother successfully defended their home at the cost of her life. Now orphaned, Hestia had no choice but to learn how to fight and survive.

Family and friends are difficult to acquire, and even harder to keep on the Backstreets. Instead of letting such a fact embitter her, though, she resolved to get stronger to be able to survive on her own. Even from a young age, she worked hard to try and get ahn to spend, moving from location to location within District Q's Backstreets until she was a young adult. She would soon settle into an abandoned apartment complex, tending to it in order to make it her home.

Main verse: Backstreets Babe

The most common scenario to meet Hestia in this verse is while she's working on odd jobs, such as deliveries. She has a reluctance toward becoming a Fixer due to complex feelings regarding her mother, namely in that her mother could have had a better lifestyle if she hadn't decided to keep Hestia.

Limbus Company verse: LCB Sinner

In this verse, Hestia would swallow her doubts and register to become a Fixer like her mother. However, shortly after being certified as a Grade 9 Fixer, she would be recruited into Limbus Company. With only stories about how Fixers work, she's forced to quickly learn the ropes and try her best to be an asset to the other Sinners.

The Truth

A Color Fixer known as the Silver Watch, Kronos was most well-known for having a silver pocket watch that he could use to temporarily freeze time around his immediate area. His weapon of choice was a large scythe, although its appearance more resembled a traditional harvesting scythe than anything fancy like Argalia’s.

Sponsored by District T and hyped as a celebrity in his own right, Kronos would eventually grow more disillusioned as time passed. He would eventually meet a woman named Agatha, who was starting to build the Angels of the City, and soon convinced him to partake in her organization.

(The Angels of the City? An organization that was dedicated to taking down the Head. Considering the fact that the Head hasn't gone after them, though, it's likely that a Beholder has already predicted that their efforts will be in vain...)

Kronos figures, "well, if T Corp finds I am colluding with you, my time's going to be cut short in a very stabby manner." Agatha agrees, but they still meet up to plot and plan.

It was Kronos’ plan to simply go around the City and “make” several other Color Fixers by choosing mothers with great potential themselves and having them bear and raise his children. He would only remain in each woman’s lives for a bit of time to make sure they fit his view of their potential, perhaps a bit of extra time to ensure that they were on the right path…before moving on. Agatha agreed to this plan to run alongside several other plans she was working on, but refused to be Kronos’ first lover.

Instead, Kronos’ first lover would be a mid-grade Fixer known as Rhea, who was also living in District T at the time. Rhea would give birth to Hestia, although Kronos took one look at Hestia and found her to be a disappointment. A short time after Hestia was born, Kronos had already moved on.

Kronos would have several children who were Color Fixers after that point, including a set of triplets by the names of Hades, Poseidon, and Zeus.

Trivia & Links

Pinterest Board.
Like all of the LCB Sinners, she is associated with a color; in this case, it's "Hearth Orange", with the hex code #CD5627.
Hestia was originally created as someone in the Backstreets; her being based on the goddess Hestia (and all the backstory that went with it) and receiving a Limbus Company verse both came later.
Ut interdum mi non sagittis euismod. Suspendisse id venenatis massa.
Aliquam ornare, nibh sit amet interdum elementum, leo sem laoreet nibh, at sollicitudin diam ipsum eu risus.
