History:: For most of Hera’s life, she was trapped in the stomach of her father, Kronos. He was just scared of the prophecy about his children. But then, Zeus came and freed them all. They had battled Kronos for power and had prevailed. Sending the Titans in Tartarus. After the war, Hera was forced to marry Zeus. What had happened was that she didn’t want to marry him. But he had disguised himself as cuckoo and Hera put it to her breast. By then, Zeus transformed into his regular self and raped her. Hera was so ashamed, that she ended up marrying Zeus. Then that’s when she became the Queen of the Gods. She was also appointed for being the Goddess of Women and Marriage.
As a wedding gift, Hera received the apples of immortality from Gaia. She appointed Atlas’ daughters, the Hesperides. But Hera didn’t really trust in them, so she got her dragon, Landon, the one hundred headed dragon to guard the tree also. But later, it was called, The Garden of Hesperides.
Hera was always jealous of Zeus’ other lovers. She often hated the children that were his lovers. Such as Hercules, she temporarly made him insane where it made him kill his wife and children. And as for Artemis and Apollo’s mother, Hera cursed her, and also with Dionysus’ mother, Hera cause her death. So when it comes to Zeus and cheating, Hera is very cruel in that department.
Hear met Percy in the Labyrinth once. But when it came to the Winter Solstice, she had voted to keep Percy alive. But then she also help him in the Labyrinth. However, Annabeth accused Hera for only wanting a ‘perfect family”. Cause there was that rumor that Zeus had thrown Hephaestus off Mount Olympus, and she doesn’t really think much of Hades. Also, when it comes to Nico, she refers to him as “reject.” Hera didn’t like it much and stormed off in a rage, and told Annabeth, she will be sorry. Hera proceeded to curse her sacred animals on Annabeth, with the cows that wouldn’t stop bothering her all year long.
When it came when Hera was talking to Percy, she had told him that she and Zeus was doing marriage counseling. But when Percy mentioned Thalia, Hera got her rage back and only referred to Thalia as her.

Sample RP::Hera walked around the gardens in Olympus, the roses smelt beautiful and the grass was refreshing under her bare feet. What she longed to do is to go for a swim in the ocean. It calmed her so much and it was a place where she could think most of time. Hera looked over and seen a peacock flap her wings and spread her tail, the greens, blues, and purple stood out. She walked over to the peacock and pet it. [red]You are so beautiful. Have you found a mate yet?[/red] she asked the peacock.
Speaking of 'mate' she was waiting for Zeus, she wanted to talk to him. She's had suspicions of him running around with mortals and she had to know. Hera always wanted a splendid relationship with her husband. But she has been betrayed by him many times, first disguising himself as a cuckoo and then raping her after. So she agreed to be his wife. It's hard to love someone when they run around with other women all the time. Hera sat down on the grass, plucked a rose off of it's branch, and smelled it.
She sat down and wondered what a love relationship would be if Zeus hadn’t ran around, well for gods and goddess there really was no normal relationship. As Hera thought she smirked about the memory she had when she turned that girl kept as a heifer that many years ago. What was her name….Io, that’s what it was. Zeus trying to hide her and change her into a heifer so he could hide his affair. Did he think she was stupid? No, she would have gotten even with him.
