About Ionia
The name Ionia comes from the Ionian sea, beautiful, sparkling and blue. Her eyes are said to glitter, as if the waves themselves reside in them and she has striking blue paintwork to match. She was found by locals in the 1950's where she had crashed as Aetna in a cove on the Greek island of Zakynthos. Badly damaged, still her evil yellow self and in a form of stasis lock, they set about repairing her and gave her a new alt mode, the Convair Sea Dart. They tasked her with keeping the country fertile, as they also gave her control of water, her water tanks being able to hold great amounts of water to make rain. After, they left her in the care of her new adoptive parents and shortly after she joined Hellas. She was the girlfriend of Olympus of the Hellas faction, but has eyes for Acid Storm. She loves hanging out with her friends from Hellas and humans and watching the sun go down, dancing to Arion's music. The locals in the small villages in Greece believe she is a sea goddess, often touching her to have their ailments healed. They did not, however, count on her previous self Aetna becoming sort of a duel personality.
As Aetna, she doesn't really like humans and swats them when Arion and Olympus aren't looking. Ionia's duel personality became worse, however, after receiving her memories via a disk from Cybertron, which Acid Storm installed for her. She remembered her name was Aetna, along with all her memories and past actions.
When the humans first tried to awaken her in the 50's, Aetna was still present. The humans thought her fire ability was too dangerous, which is why they gave her water. This quelled the fire within, but when Ionia gets angry, her water is let out involuntarily via mist. Once all water is gone, Aetna is free to pop out. A fiery, flirty, evil creature that burns everything she hates. It was not until recently that it was discovered that when Ionia flirts, Aetna is peeking out. Aetna has since been removed and placed in her own body leaving Ionia free to be herself.
Acid Storm plays a big part in her life. Although he is cold and unfeeling, she is oddly drawn to him and just cannot resist him. She often writes songs and poems about his 'sparkling green paintwork' and his 'wonderful golden optics'. She is also resistant to his acid, creating speculation that he was originally created to be her companion. (Since, as Aetna, she was created first.) His acid actually has an odd effect on her. It feels 'good', often causing her to flop to the ground making obscene sounds if she gets any on her.
Now that is over with, please feel free to pick a particular version and ask them a question. I will answer it as them so you can get a better understanding of their personality.
