Quote: "I'm really not sure if a chick like me is cut out for being a hero."

Amphithea is your typical abnormaly perceptive, outcasted, highly neurotic theif. She had a very supportive, but poor, homelife and despite her nervous demeanor she decided to start stealing in order to support her mother and father. This was something that came very natural to her due to the fact that her best friend since she was young was Autolycus, who was always a master theif. She and Autolycus were raised for the most part by Autolycus' father, Hermes, who often told them about the happenings on Mount Olympus. Even though Hermes wasn't Amphithea's biological father, she always saw him as a father figure.

As Amphithea grew she tried hard to shake her habit of stealing, but her friendship with Autolycus made it nearly impossible. She decided that she had to reform herself, and so she snuck into Prometheus Acadamy. Soon afterwards though, due to Hermes' request, she was accepted as an official student. Even though Autolycus also attended the same school, at first Amphithea tried to avoid him, since he had always been a bad influence. The first people that she met there were Hel, Cassandra, Icarus, Celena, and Hercules. She developed an almost immediate crush on Icarus (much to everyone's amazement and disgust), even though she tries to hide her hopelessly boy-crazed attitude from her friends, since she often alternates her crush from Icarus to Hercules, and even to Autolycus at times. Still, she tends to favor Icarus out of all of them.

Amphithea kept her occupation as a theif secretas much as she could, but eventually her concience got to her, and she confessed. Hercules at first shunned her for it, but only for a minute or two, and after that suggested that she use her skills as a hero rather than as a criminal. Amphithea accepted, and began to train with Hercules despite Philoctete's strong objections. She tends to alternate between two veiws of life depending on who she's with. When she's around Cassandra she's equally as pessimistic as her, but whenever she's with Hercules and Icarus, she tends to adopt a much more carefree attitude. She's very easily influenced, which is why she spends most of her life avoiding Hades. The last thing she needs is to follow after "Sparky," as she calls him. There is a part of her that finds the Lord of the Underworld strangely appealing, though, and it makes it even harder for her to become a hero with Hercules.
