Physical Description:
Thalia was not an especially imposing figure on her own, but clever costume design and good camera angles always prevented people from realizing it.  She was neither muscular nor solidly built.  Her most striking feature was unquestionably her red hair, inherited from her mother.  It was complimented perfectly by her father's pale skin.
Her clothes tended to be dark, befitting her role as the chief villain of the known universe.  As her fights were most often choreographed her usual garb was ornate and highly impractical.  High shoulders and flared collars were staple features of her costumes.  But left on her own she tended to wear simpler versions of the same dresses.

Bio:
Thalia was born the child of Thauma and Griel.  Her father adopted her when her mother put her up, not knowing that she was his biological daughter.  The two were fierce rivals, and fellow members of recently founded Pantheon.  It was only after considerable investigation that Thalia discovered that the two had had a one night-stand, following considerable drinking.  And so, with that knowledge under her belt Thalia entered the Arcane Academy.
She spent that time cultivating a reputation as the most brilliant villain alive.  She exposed the crimes and indiscretions of the most well respected students, and other students simply vanished altogether.  And it was during this time that she developed her legendary dramatic flair.  She holds the distinctive honor of being the only student to graduate a year early, an 'honor' bestowed upon her by her enchanting instructor, Petra Zinksfeld.
Following what amounted to Expulsion with Honors, Thalia set her skills as a necromancer to work creating the perfect soldiers, servants, and what only she could have possibly conceived of, cameramen.  The result was the Gravagan race; a silicon based life form that existed to serve her in every possible capacity.  She would continue to work on them for the rest of her life.

She then set all of her skills and resources to a single task.  To those who watched her regular specials, it seemed as though she was determined to rule the universe.  Many governments even began drilling their militaries in the most effective ways to combat her armies.  Behind the scenes though, Thalia was creating and schooling the heroes and villains of the universe.  Her true plan was, and had always been, to create a new world order.  One in which war-starting villains and powerful mages were perfectly counter-balanced by experienced heroes and, in the most chaotic and uncontrolled cases, her own elite Gravagan enforcers.  It was during this time that she met her husband, Hal, a veteran hero who's own interests and desires matched with her own.  Together they formed the most formidable hero-villain team of all known space.
And so a lasting peace entered her life.  She broadcast her husband and his companions efforts to defeat her even as she bore each of their four children.
The Eldest, Katherine, proved herself a capable and studious magician, and as soon as she was able was included at her mother's side.  However, Katherine grew tired of the constant drama of her parent's mock battles and set off to explore the universe, and expand her own knowledge. 
Her second child, and only son, Koren, shared his elder sister's love of books.  However, his magical talents proved less attuned to practice and battle and more to enchantments and menial use.  Following a relatively, especially when compared to his mother's truncated tenure, uneventful run at the Arcane Academy; he secured a position at the Grand Pantheonic Library.  He holds the position to this day.
Her third child was born with her father's inability to wield magic.  Sarah took it relatively well for one born into the immortal community, well-known for it's dominance by magic users. She instead trained from a young age in the martial arts and by the time she reached her sixteenth birthday was able to best even her mother's Gravagan champions with her preferred weapon, a trademark double-bladed axe.
But it was her last child that would make her most proud.  Cystronella, the smallest of the clan, shared her mother's eccentric and dramatic tendencies.  Even at a young age her knack for science was apparent, and not only because of the conspicuous damage done to her possessions and surroundings.  After returning from Arcane Academy, she pursued her passion as an inventor of technologies and spells.  Her mother added her to the staff as the official 'Mad Scientist'; a position she took to heart.

Thalia enjoyed her role for several thousand years before the final act of her life began.  Katherine, calling herself Arcania and commanding a vast army of the undead, returned from beyond the edge of the map and began her own conquest of the universe.  As the war progressed Thalia converted the Gravagan war machine from a military of parade and dramatics into the most formidable fighting force of those who lived through the first wave.  And she proved it; following the death of Tala, Thalia set her final plot in motion.  Hal lead the armies of Gravaga against Katherine's Frostbourne horde, lead by Sarah, while Thalia herself, accompanied by an elite bodyguard, slipped into her daughter's palace undetected.  In the end, she was unable to redeem her daughter, and was only able to leave her mark on the demon Ecthon as he struck her down.
