Marcella
In the beginning, Delphinia startles Marcella by ignoring Iuna's orders, instead praying to the goddess. Delphinia surprises Marcella, telling the latter that she has seen the goddess many times. Despite Iuna's orders, Marcella wishes to learn more and Delphinia is happy to show her. In Chapter 8, Delphinia inducts her into the Mysteries of Isis in a grotto underneath the Temple of Ceres.

Iuna Pythia
She hates Delphinia because of her foreign origin as well as the fact that the latter refuses to capitulate. She envies Delphinia's link to the gods, and feels she herself is superior priestess. As a result, she has Delphinia clean the temple of Ceres instead of performing rituals, as the latter was tasked to do so. In Chapter 13, Delphinia has the option of having her acolytes kill Iuna or giving her mercy and banishing her from the temple.

Trivia

 * Delphinia (Δελφινια) is Greek for "dolphin", which is appropriate given Delphinia's journey across the sea to a new homeland. In the 1st century BCE, Egypt was ruled by a Greek-speaking upper class and the Ancient Egyptian language was beginning to die out.
 * She is from Egypt.
 * Until Chapter 15, she resides in Macedonia, while Main Character is in Rome. In Chapter 15, she and her acolytes travel to Egypt.
 * She is a devotee of Isis, whom she calls The Great Mother. When she traveled to Gaul, she came to believe the deity Tsirona was simply Isis by another name. While a slave in Macedonia, she came to feel Ceres as another aspect of Isis.
