Iphthime is an Amazon sculptor.
History
Iphthime was in a relationship with Anaya of the Bana.[1] Despite this, she joined Aella's hardliners. When a bombing led to Anaya being injured, Anaya broke off their relationship as she could no longer trust Iphthime.
After the Civil War, Iphthime hoped to rekindle their relationship, but Anaya did not respond.[2] She was remanded to custody for her involvement in the Civil War until Imperiex's invasion. Anaya freed all prisoners as they needed the troops in battle.[3]
