Philos

Philos, commonly known as Alana, is the sixteen-year old daughter of Eros and Lumena. She is one of the main protagonists of the book series The Myth of Philos and Agape, as well as the Aphrodite Series. Furthermore, she is part of The Prophecy, along with her sister and best-friend, Agape. Lana is the embodiment of Philos love, hence her nickname Philos, and she is most like her father, Eros.

Lana is currently in a romantic relationship with Colton, whom she has known since they were children.

Philos has the ability to create or control water whenever or however she pleases. This capability was granted to her by the primordial sea god, Pontus, when she was an infant, and has grown to be powerful as defense and offense. Furthermore, she has a loyal and playful pet hippocampus who she likes to ride across the sea, named Placeholder. Placeholder was gifted by Colton as an apology when he was confused on whether he loved Lydia, a daughter of Apollo, or Lana. In the end, he chose Lana, realizing he had loved her all along.

Appearance
Philos is described as having long, wavy sandy-blonde hair that she sometimes ties into a loose braid with little pearls decorating it. She has plump, glossy peach lips, a tan complexion, and a slightly athletic stature. Lana has long, curvy lashes framing her big, shimmering sea-foam green eyes, that are described as "deeper than the sea". They are also mentioned as "mesmerizing" and "beautiful" by Colton. They are her best feature and are also brought up in the prophecy, making it an important feature that will separate her from other babies.

Philos is said to have a warm, small smile and usually wears a necklace that has a small turquoise jewel in the middle. Most of the time she wears a teal or creme peplos that wraps around her waist with thin, criss-cross sleeves that wrap around her arms until her wrist.

Personality
Philos's personality is often compared to the sea. She is calm most of the time, but reveals her fiercer side when something strongly angers her. She is physically and mentally strong, and is very brave in most situations. Lana knows how to love her family, friends, and herself.

False memories
Philos's fake memories were cast upon her by Chaos and the katara, and were also cast upon Agape. During that time, Philos believed her name was Myra, and Agape believed her name was Calista. In this fake life, Myra had a seven year old daughter named Claudia, and a husband named Cyrus, who was a soldier and fought bravely in many wars, bringing honor to the family, as Myra mentioned many times. She lived a simple life in a meadow with Claudia, Calista, Calista's infant children, and her husband, who was rarely home. Philos and Agape (Myra and Calista) were still sisters in this life.

Andrew
At first, Philos was wary of Andrew. She didn't approve of the idea of him shooting her sister in the head so his voice could be with her at all times. She kept a close eye on him during the two books, not wanting Seraphina to be hurt by a man. Lana started to warm up with him, and, sooner or later she accepted him as her step-brother. They laughed a few times throughout the series and made a couple of jokes. In the end, they were close friends.
