Aphrodite Quasaris (April 12, 2732 – 15th of August, 450 BC)

Aphrodite Quasaris, born April 12, 2732 century on Isocanaas, was a renowned historian and the foremost expert on the history of all planets within the United Coalition of Space (UCS). As an Isocanaan with a lifespan of nearly 800 years, Aphrodite had witnessed numerous significant events firsthand and dedicated her life to studying and documenting the rich history of the UCS.

Aphrodite’s passion for history led her to become a prolific writer, contributing to newspapers, publishing historical books, and even maintaining her own popular history blog. Her exceptional talent in storytelling and her deep understanding of historical events earned her numerous prestigious accolades, including winning the Nobel Prize in Literature twice, the Pulitzer Prize three times, the International Dublin Literary Award, and the Hugo Award five times.

Aphrodite’s journey of self-discovery also included a personal transformation. Assigned male at birth, she went through a gender reassignment process at the age of 19 and embraced her true identity as a transgender woman. This experience added a unique perspective to her work, allowing her to empathize with the struggles and triumphs of individuals throughout history who faced similar challenges.

Her contributions to the field of history granted Aphrodite access to the Temporal Research Division, a special department that enabled her to travel through time and witness historic events firsthand.

Aphrodite’s hometown on Isocanaas was a vibrant and culturally diverse city that embraced knowledge and artistic expression. Unfortunately, at the age of 405, Aphrodite went missing during a crucial temporal research expedition, causing her most significant unintended consequence as it caused her to appear in an ancient Greek temple in the 8th century BC, inadvertently becoming the origin of the Greek goddess Aphrodite in mythology.

Beyond her scholarly pursuits, Aphrodite had a wide range of hobbies and interests. She was an avid stargazer, finding solace and inspiration in the wonders of the universe. In her leisure time, she enjoyed playing musical instruments such as the piano and the violin, as well as composing her own melodies. Aphrodite was also a passionate advocate for animal rights and conservation, dedicating her efforts to protecting endangered species across the galaxies.

While Aphrodite had an illustrious career and made significant contributions to the understanding of history, she was not without her flaws. As a deeply intellectual and introspective individual, she sometimes struggled with self-doubt and battled moments of imposter syndrome. Her relentless pursuit of knowledge and historical accuracy often made her perfectionistic and demanding of herself and those around her. Despite these flaws, Aphrodite’s unwavering dedication to preserving the past and promoting a more inclusive and equitable future left an indelible mark on the UCS and the field of history as a whole.
