Apollonia

Biography
Apollonia Purduto is woman in her mid-twenties who is frequently associated with powerful figures. These associations often take the form of romantic relationships, but with clear dominant and submissive roles to them. She is currently attached to Marrakech Morgan, the caporegime of Black Omega, but had been in a long-term relationship with Azalea Constantinestu prior to that.

The exact nature of these relationships are difficult to define, but it appears that Apollonia is simultaneously a lover, personal assistant, and errand girl for her partners. Though an employee of Black Omega, she is universally understood to be directly attached to the caporegime and therefore unavailable for conventional assignments.

Much of her personal history is unknown. It can be reasonably speculated that her submissiveness is the result of extreme childhood trauma. Apollonia doesn’t discuss her past, as she tends to focus on the present.

Personality
Apollonia is the submissive’s submissive, deriving her personal satisfaction from that of her partner’s. She has been known to commit to the point of altering even her own identity to suit the clinical sociopathy of others, as when she was attached to Azalea. Curiously, she doesn’t seem to experience outward heartbreak after a long-term attachment ends, moving relatively seamlessly to Marra after she was left by Azalea. Whether this is indicative that her “attachment” to others might be a sham or is simply a unique personality trait is impossible to know.

Above all else, Apollonia has learned that to survive in Pegasi, one’s true feelings must often be hidden. Despite this, she seems to possess strong loyalty to whomever she’s with, and has been known to fixate and obsess if she develops a “crush”. For example, she once slept on the deck in front of Azalea Constantinestu’s luxurious habitation unit for nearly a month before the powerful woman deigned to reciprocate her attention. Again, whether this behavior was a reflection of Apollonia’s actual personality or tailored to appeal to Azalea’s extreme narcissism is impossible to say.

In the same vein, she can be either sadistic or tender, as when she was briefly partnered with Matt Lehman while performing wetwork for Marrakech Morgan. She seemed to have no trouble threatening Kyndi’s life to coerce Matt to help Marra, but also divulged a glimpse of her true inner fear to him in their last minutes together.
