The Hera were an elite band of female heroes, sworn to wisdom and love as their highest virtues, protected by goddess Hera.
They say The Hera are still out there, that they train, yet believe that timing is everything. They are, after all, wise. They will come when victory is possible and in the time that spans between past and future, they work to bring about a world that will accept love and wisdom as its primary system once more.
The Hera are moral philosophers and elite soldiers all rolled into one. Each one of them is too smart for any university out there, they'd run rings around the professors in any ivy league.
All of The Hera are trained to become their leader should they be called upon to do so, after all, it is a wise precaution.
