Biography:
-> Hygeia (also Ὑγιεία or Ὑγεία), is the daughter of the God of Medicine, Asclepius, and Epione. Arabella and her five sisters each perform a facet of Apollo's art: Panacea (the goddess of Universal remedy), Iaso (the goddess of recuperation from illness), Aceso (the goddess of the healing process), and Aglæa/Ægle (the goddess of beauty, splendor, glory, magnificence, and adornment). Arabella played an important part in her father's cult. While her father was more directly associated with healing, she is associated with the prevention of sickness and the continuation of good health. Her name is the source of the word "hygiene". Arabella is the oldest of her siblings, and was raised by her father, who passed away not too long ago. Since then, she has not had much of a relationship with her siblings or other family members. Arabella has traveled many places, and continues to do so daily, since she's summoned all over the world. Due to recent events concerning Augustine Academy and the Gods Realm, she has been keeping a close watch on the school and the area surrounding.

Extra?:
“I am the great Goddess Hygeia; Goddess of Health. I accept your love and respect as you welcome me. In return I give you my love and respect. I have made myself known to several mortals who are ill or suffering pain, and through knowing me they are soothed. I now have many temples in your world. In some I am able to cure serious illnesses of people who worship there. They do not know they worship me, yet some are aware of my presence and it is through cures of this nature that I will become known and years into the future there will be, in every country, a large shrine built for me where mortals will go to be healed.
In hospitals all over the world many die unnecessarily. There is not enough care. It grieves me, Hygeia, to witness what goes on in these places. A third of mortals recover. The rest do not, partly due to the chemicals they are given. One day this will change. These buildings will not be necessary in the distant future."
