ROUND #228:: Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons
DESCRIPTION
Thalestris, Queen of the Amazons
The Amazones were the toughest female warriors in classical mythology. It is said they cut off or burnt out one breast to be able to use the bow more freely. Also there are rumors that once a year they would visit a neighbouring tribe. The male children that were born after these visits were sent back to the neighbouring tribe, whereas the girls were raised to become even stronger amazones. Thalestris was the leader and Queen of the Amazone tribe and some say she visited Alexander the Great and stayed with him for 13 days and nights, hoping he would give her a daughter.

Design Thalestris!
Keep in mind she is a fierce warrior, not “a hot chick with a sword”. Think of her weaponry and armour, and how she would wield it.
You are free to change the time period and setting, but the character has to be recognizable as the leader of the amazons.
Good luck!
