Chara was the name Phoibe had given her wooden sculpture of an eagle, given to her by her mother.

History

Phoibe always carried Chara, playing with it while running her errands.^[1]

When the Spartan misthios Kassandra left Kephallonia in 431 BCE, Phoibe gave Chara to Kassandra, so that they would always be together.^[2] When Kassandra returned to Athens during the plague in 429, she returned Chara to Phoibe.^[3]

In the simulation of the Underworld created by the Isu Aletheia, Chara was stolen by a one-eyed thief from Phoibe.^[4]

Millennia later in the Cave of Gold on the Scottish Isle of Skye, the Apple of Eden that was kept there projected illusions from Kassandra's long-distant past; one of these specters was a recreation of Chara atop a small plinth, and its appearance made Kassandra stop short in pained memory at her late friend.^[5]

Behind the scenes

Chara's name is derived from the Greek word χαρά (kharā́), meaning 'joy'.
