History: In telling the story of Achima one must first tell the story of her creator, Oroles. He was a wanderer in the time long ago when religion wand mysticism were one. During the conquest of Palestine by Alexander the Great he fled far east eventually reaching the lands of feudal China where he proclaimed himself of a doctor, and eventually fell in love with a girl there, named Akima. With time they're love blossomed and she became with child, though in the birth of their daughter, Akima was lost, and their affair was revealed causing ridicule from the locals. Whether out of grief or desire to protect his daughter, Oroles used all of his knowledge to create a golem in his late wife's image, and named it Achima.
With her creation and purpose Achima served her family in all ways a mother could, caring for their daughter, tending to garden, keeping their home clean, and defending her family from any retaliation the village may bring, creating lore of her as a spirit protecting the home. As the daughter grew Oroles hoped to keep her from the ridicule he suffered and brought the family back west and northward, eventually settling in what would later become Poland. There they lived a normal and simple life, which continued for many years, past the death of Oroles and into his daughters growth into an adult, all the while Achima continued her duties caring for her daughter. Time waged on and the daughter eventually started a family of her own causing a distance to grow between her and Achima. It was not until many years later when Oroles daughter was on her deathbed that Achima returned, making tea for her every morning and only leaving her side when asked to see to other chorus. When the time came that she passed, Achima had become a member of the new family and eventually became an heirloom, following the first daughter of each generation, eventually traveling across much of the known world. It was not until 1912, after centuries of service, that Achima finally failed her family. She was travelling with her family to America, when the ship they were on began to sank. Due to her weight she was brought down underwater with the boat, stripped away from her family by her very nature. Left alone upon the ocean floor she wandered aimlessly until chance favored her and she was found and take I by Atlantians. In time she found her place at Atlantis Academy, serving her purpose and duties to her new "Family".
Powers:
Inhuman Strength - Due to her lack of muscle tissue she is as strong as her body can withstand which, being made of stone, is quite alot.

She holds an incredible reverence for rules and commands, making many view her as strict, though all in all she just wants what is best for her students and the academy.
Character Flaws:
Indifferent - Part of her nature is an inability to properly understand or reciprocate emotions. She will seem someone is sad but will do little to try to comfort them, rather attempting to solve the reason for their sadness.
Perfectionist - Practice makes perfect as they say, and after nearly 2 millennia she was perfected many of her regular duties, but also has led to her to attempt perfection in all things, even when impossible. She also tends to expect perfection from students she knows are capable of it.
Tactless - Though Achimas' ability to think has grown remarkably over the years and achieving something close to human, she still holds close to the simplicity she has known all her life, speaking bluntly and directly and always attempting to operate in the simplest and most straightforward way. This leads to her often causing "collateral damage" whether through brutal honesty or oversight of important details and consequences.
Habits: Every morning makes a large kettle of mint tea, which she never drinks. At night she patrols the halls in a particular circuit, and moving at a particular schedule.
