"Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ay
I'm on top of the world, 'ay
waiting on this for a while now
paying my dues to the dirt
I've been waiting to smile, 'ay
been holding it in for a while, 'ay
take it with me if I can
been waiting for this since a child
I'm on top of the world."
I've tried to cut these corners
"try to take the easy way out"
{{ Full Name;{{ Nickname;"I go by Nicole most of the time, some of my friends call me Nicki, though. Or Nicks. Stuff like that."
{{ Gender;"I'm a chick; can you not tell by looking at me? If you can't then you should get your eyes checked out."
{{ Age;{{ Birthday;{{ Mortal Family;"Well I've got a mother named Susan and that's really all there is to it."
{{ Godly Parent;"Zeus, so I'm a kid of the Big Three."
I kept on falling short
"of something"
{{ Description;The first thing people tend to notice about Nicole Skye is the fact that her eyes are an intimidating electric blue color like most of the other children of Zeus. Though those eyes are usually paired with a very welcoming and friendly smile, that factor of intimidation will always remain. Her complexion is very pale--even through the summer season--and to her despair, she is often reminded that she is probably the most pale person at Camp (Nate and Shay are the main culprits of this). She has only a few freckles washing over her cheeks and nose.
Nicole's hair is naturally a very light blonde color that can almost be called platinum, yet a few years back the girl went through a phase in which she was always craving change and developed an obsession over dying her hair every few months. Her locks have been colored black to brown to auburn. At the moment, though, her hair is almost back to its natural bright blonde color, yet there are definitely a few brown streaks in the lower layer that can be found; especially when her hair is tied up. It is fairly wavy by nature and falls just above her bellybutton.
Because Nicole is a demigod, she has a very lean and muscular figure. She definitely is not as skinny as a stick, though, and has a nice figure. Her arms are the most toned out of all of her body due to the fact that she fights using punches for a majority of the time. The rest of her body is still in very good shape, though.
{{ Height;"I'm five foot six, so I'm a basically average."
I coulda gave up then but
"then again I couldn't have 'cause"
{{ Personality;When it comes to personality, one can come to a (very early) conclusion that Nicole is incredibly loud most of the time and almost all of the phrases that fall out of her mouth are coated with sarcasm. Nicole Skye can be described in a small number of words: a joyful soul. The blonde is known as the "social butterfly" of Camp Half-Blood. She is an extreme extrovert and admits it regularly; Nicole is most commonly found int he company of others. She does her best to refrain from being exclusive to one "group" of people at Camp and tries very hard to introduce herself to any new campers or unfamiliar faces. Nicole prides herself in being known as one of the most approachable and friendly demigods residing at Camp, despite the fact that her father is the king of Olympus, Zeus.
Yet of course there is much more to Nicole than meets the eyes. She doesn't have many insecurities, per say; she is a very confident individual who has immense pride in herself. Yet deep down Nicole has many fears that she doesn't like to share with others. She has a fear of betrayal and another of being alone due to the events of her past. It might not seem like it due to the fact that she is so talkative, but Nicole rarely shares any information about herself and her past with others and is very weary of people until they prove themselves trustworthy to her. Nicole has a very bad habit of holding grudges, as well. The longest grudge she ever held was a very petty one over something even she can't remember. It involved a Hermes camper, probably pranking her, who crossed her on a bad day.
As a daughter of Zeus, Nicole is very comfortable being in charge. She sees nothing wrong with being in the center of attention and is a very good leader, a quality shared by all of her siblings, yet it especially shines in her, the head counselor. She'll do anything she can to get into a position of authority as it is simply in her nature to do so. Although this may seem like a good quality, it has it's flip-side. Nicole's natural leadership is often seen by the others as extreme bossiness. The girl also tends to bite off much more than she can chew; this is what she believes to be her fatal flaw, though it can very well be something else; the blonde is far from perfect. Not only does Nicole take on far too many responsibilities, but she usually refuses all help that is offered to her and ends up suffering as she finds herself lost in all of the tasks that she has to complete. She will rarely turn to anyone other than her siblings (and this seldom happens) for any advice or help. Nicole also has a bit of a temper; it's hard to set off but when it does, Nicole needs to distance herself from everyone else until she cools down; she usually does so on top of the rock-climbing wall. This is the only time where Nicole likes to be alone.
{{ History;Nicole really didn't have the worst of childhoods, especially for a child of one of the Big Three; some demigods grew up with standards that would make Nicole seem like a princess. She grew up in a fairly nice neighborhood in Jersey City with a mother who was working what seemed like all hours of the day to her; the girl was alone quite a lot when she was younger which led to the fear that she now has about being alone. Miss Donna Skye loved Nicole, and the feeling was reciprocated, but they were incredibly distant; a mother and daughter should never be as distant as the Skyes were. This became a problem for Nicole when it seemed to the young blonde that she only ever saw her mother for no more than one hour a day; sometimes a few days would go by and Nicole wouldn't even see her mother once. It was difficult for a girl who craved attention to be as neglected as she was; Nicole felt as if she didn't even know her own mother anymore which caused her to empty her backpack of schoolbooks and load it up with some necessities. She ran away from her home at age eleven. Nicole lived on the streets for months and never even saw a single missing poster with her face on it while she was still living in a semi close proximity to her old residence.
Some of the days were rough emotionally for the blonde. One one of these days when she was especially alone and upset, she nearly returned to her old life, yet Nicole met her very first monster: a hellhound. Just when she thought she was doomed, a strange girl came to her rescue and took care of the hellhound for her with ease. The girl was a demigod, a daughter of Apollo named Gabrielle Anderson as a matter of fact. Gabrielle brought Nicole to Camp Half-Blood, and for the first time in her entire life she felt as if she had a home. Despite the fact that she remained in the Hermes Cabin unclaimed until the gods all swore to claim their children, Camp was still a better environment than the home where she had grown up in. Years passed and Nicole learned the lifestyle of a demigod, and eventually went on to fight in the raging Titan War. In the midst of that battle, Nicole learned that her closest friend (whom she thought had disappeared in the Battle of the Labyrinth) was a traitor and a member of the opposing army belonging to Kronos. From that moment on, Nicole has secretly become very distrusting and displays a fear of betrayal deep down.
I traveled all this way
"for something"
{{ Likes;"I like a lot of things, really. My favorite thing about Camp is the climbing wall (I hold the fastest record of reaching the top), and I really like meeting new campers. Climbing anything is really fun, but that's probably because I love high places. Whenever I'm in the mortal world, I always try to find a roller coaster at some cheesy amusement park--like even when we're on quests."
{{ Dislikes;"Well...obviously I hate the ocean because of my favorite uncle, Poseidon, and being underground makes me sick to my stomach because it's closer to the Underworld (thanks, Hades). So subways and cruises are definitely out for me. Airplanes on the other hand...wait, this is my dislikes section, isn't it..."
Now take it
"in"
{{ Weapon;"I'm kind of different when it comes to fighting, but different is so much better, you know? Throws off the enemy in battle, too. I'm a specialist in hand to hand combat, so I've got these knuckle knives that I fight with. When they're not released and in their awesome weapon form, they're these cool black leather gloves that I keep in my back pockets. When I put them both on, they become the knuckle knives. So I can wear either one at a time but not both. And if you're wondering why I don't use a sword...it's kinda a long story. Let's just say I'm not as coordinated like that as I should be."
{{ Special Abilities;"Being a Zeus kid comes with some pretty cool perks that I've gotten the hang of even though I've only been claimed for a short period of time. So I can basically levitate, control lightning and other aspects of the weather, and as a child of the Big Three I've learned to manipulate the Mist. Yeah, totally awesome, huh? No need to applaud."
{{ Fatal Flaw;"Heh...well this is awkward to talk about because I really don't tell anyone about this, but I'm far too skeptical of people when I first meet them. It stays like that for a while until I really get to know the person...yeah..."
But don't
"look down"

"It's empty in the
valley of your heart
The sun, it rises
slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the
faults
you've left behind
The harvest left
no food for you to eat
You cannibal,
you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the
shame
in
your
defeat."
And I will
"hold on hope"
{{ Full Name;{{ Nickname;"People usually just call me Aaron. You get a gold star if you can think of a nickname for Aaron other than some lame-o name like 'A'. I'm totally being dead serious."
{{ Gender;"If you can't tell that I'm a dude by looking at me or hearing my voice...well, then you might have a duller mind than yours truly."
{{ Age;"I'm seventeen years old as of right now; for a demigod, I'm on a roll!"
{{ Birthday;"January first...yeah, I'm one of those New Year babies."
{{ Mortal Family;"Well, I've got a mother named Anna and no step-father or other siblings besides those here at camp. I also have a grandma and a grandpa on Mom's side; their names are Francis and Bill."
{{ Godly Parent;"Good ol' Daddy Zeus...please, don't tell him that I said that. If you do he'll zap me from his throne in Olympus."
And I won't
"let you choke"
{{ Description;Aaron stands at an average height, however there are a handful of demigods at camp who tower over him. Even so, he maintains a more than average physique and is lean and muscular, although his muscles are nothing over-the-top. Instead, Aaron is strong enough to keep up with camp activities and then some, but he is certainly not capable of taking on an Ares camper in a fight. His hair is the stereotypical black of a child of Zeus; he keeps it long enough to cover his forehead and hide a scar over his left eyebrow that he received from a past quest. The scar doesn't really bother him, so it isn't uncommon to see Aaron with messy hair sticking out in multiple directions. He tends to run a hand through his hair quite a lot during the day, which unintentionally creates a messier appearance.
As for his facial features, Aaron's skin is relatively pale by nature, but during the summer when he is out in the sun for hours at a time he gains a bit of color in his pigmentation. The summer sun also reveals a collection of freckles that wash over his pale complexion. Aaron's eyes are a pale, but still very vivid, blue color. Like other children of Zeus, Aaron's eyes are intimidating, but the intensity from his eyes is usually undermined by the friendly smile on his face.
{{ Height;"I'm five foot eight and for some reason I get teased mercilessly about it. I'm not that short!"
On the noose
"around your neck"
{{ Personality;This son of Zeus is basically your average extrovert. He's loud, but not obnoxious (well occasionally his loudness might come across as obnoxiousness), and is extremely charismatic. Aaron can talk for hours on end about anything at all. Due to his status as a child of one of the Big Three, Aaron is well aware of the fact that he is supposed to be a role model for the rest of the demigods at camp. He is an extremely responsible individual and will do his best to diligently complete any task that is bestowed upon him. Not only that, but Aaron is also a very loyal friend who will stand by anyone to the end. Aaron tends to think that he lives up to the expectation Chiron outlined for him quite well; the black haired young man is always present to introduce himself to any new camper with a welcoming smile and thoroughly enjoys giving newbies tours of camps as well as helping them get settled into their cabins. Aaron has an immensely kind heart.
Aaron is rarely ever angry and is seen as a happy-go-lucky person. However, no one (especially demigods) is perfect, which includes this particular demigod. While it takes a lot to set Aaron off, he has been highly irritated in the past. During such times, he prefers to be alone and keeps himself inside of his cabin; Aaron has never let anger get the best of him yet and he would like to live the rest of his life that way.
This demigod is a sweet boy, but he isn't exactly the most intelligent. His kindness and gregariousness unfortunately does not suffice for the fact that Aaron is certainly no child of Athena. For the most part, Aaron functions by listening to his instincts or doing whatever it takes to save a friend or ally--he has ended up injured several times from jumping in front of a monster or adversary in order to defend a friend, which plays into that endless loyalty of his. Strategy is certainly not his strong suit, so he often relies on anyone else to develop a plan of procedure to follow.
Due to the fact that Aaron is such kind soul, he likes to make others smile. Oftentimes the son of Zeus will make a fool out of himself with the help of the Hermes cabin or any of his closer friends to make people laugh. During the most relaxed or the most harsh times, any camper can surely rely on Aaron to crack a joke or make a silly face.
{{ History;There's a reason why Aaron is such a happy-go-lucky individual who loves to make people laugh. The son of Zeus grew up in a small town in Florida where his mother, Anna, was very ill from Hera's wrath; the goddess was angry that Zeus had yet another affair so she took out her anger on Anna Cox. Anna was hospitalized since he can remember, so Aaron grew up with his mother's parents, Francis and Bill, visiting his mother on a regular basis. From an early age, Aaron enjoyed making people laugh; nothing made him happier than seeing his mother smile, so he decided to be goofy and make her laugh whenever he made one of his frequent visits to her in the hospital. When Aaron was eleven, monsters began to show up; unfortunately, since he was such a clown of a child, no one believed what he had to say. Well, no one but his mother believed him. Anna Cox knew that Aaron's father was the Greek god, Zeus (and knew Hera caused her illness), and she requested that her parents send Aaron off to a summer camp in New York. Aaron soon became a year long camper and his parents are still unaware of the fact that he is a demigod child of Zeus. Even now at age seventeen, Aaron is a year long camper and does his best to visit him sickly mother at least once a year.
And I'll find
"strength in pain"
{{ Likes;"I like a lot of things, actually. Let's see, I like picnics, chick flicks, long walks on the beach--wait this isn't a profile for match.com? Oh. Well let's see...I like jokes, laughing, funny faces, campfires, climbing the rock wall, and giving tours to new campers. I love the feeling of accomplishment I get after following through with something, and it's great when people place their trust in me to do something. I also like my family, and my favorite food is marshmallows. I'm not even kidding (which is awfully rare) if you bring me a bag of marshmallows we'll probably be great friends."
{{ Dislikes;"Honestly, I really don't dislike a bunch of things. Actually, I hate Spring time. I mean yeah the weather is nice but all of that pollen! I become Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer after Christmas...I mean, who does that? Allergies will be the death of me...but I'm rambling, aren't I? Surprise: I actually don't like fighting of any kind even though I'm good at it. And I guess I don't really like math that much. Or science. Or history. Or language...well this makes me seem like I hate everything!"
And I will
"change my ways"
{{ Weapon;"Call me lame all you want, but I just like to fight with a regular sword. Nothing fancy's all, just a celestial bronze sword and I"m good to go. There's nothing like the feel of a perfectly balanced sword in your hand--man, it's just great. Not even charmed; I keep a sheath with me when I need to take it somewhere."
{{ Special Abilities;"I've got the basic powers of a Zeus kid. Well, they're not really basic because not all campers can do the same stuff as me, but anyway, yeah. I'm obviously able to manipulate the Mist, which is something that I've perfected, but I can also control lightning. I've gotten pretty good at that and can shock people at all sorts of intensities! Not that I would actually ever do that to anyone, I'm a nice guy, remember?"
{{ Fatal Flaw;"Well, that's a bit of a personal question, don'tcha think? But if you really have to know (no going to the Titans with this info, okay? They'd totally use it against me) my fatal flaw is most likely the fact that I have a need to please others, so I kind of put other people's needs before my needs a lot...it's a bad habit, but if it is my fatal flaw, then that's nothing I can change, yeah? I'm going to pretend you responded with a 'yeah' and move on."
I'll know my name
"as it's called again"

"I'd rather waltz
than just walk through the forest
trees keep the tempo
as they sway in time
quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
if I were to strum on your heartstrings
would you strum on mine?"
I saw a ghost on the stairs
"and sheets on the tables and chairs"
{{ Full Name;{{ Nickname;"I usually just go by Erika...call me Erik and I'll hurt you real bad."
{{ Gender;"I'm pretty sure that I'm a girl."
{{ Age;"I would be sixteen years old."
{{ Birthday;"April nineteenth, so around the beginning of Spring. Fitting, right?"
{{ Mortal Family;"I'm an only child with a father named Jack. It's just the two of us so we're really close"
{{ Godly Parent;"My mother is Demeter; it makes sense because I love nature."
The silverware swam
"with the sharks in the sink
even so, I don't know what to think"
{{ Description;Erika's eyes are an extremely dark green color; they are so dark that from a distance or at a glance they look brown. Her irises have the presence of other colors as well including gold and a bit of blue making them somewhat hazel. She has very fair skin; it isn't too tan nor is it too pale either. Although her entire body, face, arms, you name it, is covered with a wash of freckles making her look tanner than she actually is from a distance. Her hair is also fair as well. It is a dirty blonde color overall (quite red in certain lights, actually) that usually isn't completely brushed out. Since Erika is a nature girl she doesn't care too much for pampering her appearance. Her hair is naturally extremely straight and rather thin, falling down to her mid back. Though the style depends on what she is currently doing. If Erika is in the midst of sword practice or tending to the fields it will most likely be tied back into a high ponytail or bun, both of which will be extremely messy as she never takes the time to fix her hair to be "presentable" as the Aphrodite cabin says.
Erika has always been one of the shorter campers at Camp, though her temper is even shorter. Her body is lean and somewhat toned, enough so to make her look nicely fit. She tends to wear t-shirts and shorts or jeans and sports gardening gloves while working in the fields; it isn't too uncommon to find Erika with dirt smeared on her face and body.
{{ Height;"Well I've always been a little bit on the shorter side...I'm five foot three inches."
I've been longing for
"daisies to push through the floor"
{{ Personality;Erika Meadows is a girl who speak what is on her mind whenever she feels the need to do so...this tends to be a common occurrence actually. Most of the time she speaks without first thinking and can end up hurting someone's feelings unintentionally. She is also very honest and will not tell a lie unless she absolutely has to; if the girl is ever dishonest in any way she will practically be eaten alive by her guilty conscience. Erika is notorious for being bossy; she loves to be in charge especially when it comes to her cabin. The girl has a sort of OCD when it comes to how the fields are tended to and all other things relating to gardening. Her cabin faces severe consequences if things aren't done the exact way that Erika wants them to be done. And if a non-Demeter sets foot in her fields or takes a strawberry without her permission, they will feel her wrath. Erika's got quite a reputation because of her reactions to people touching her trees the wrong way.
Speaking of her wrath, Erika is very hotheaded; this is the most distinctive trait of hers. She is especially like this when it comes to the Hermes cabin as they love to play pranks on Cabin Four. In fact, the Demeter cabin is probably the most common victim for the Hermes cabin. This small girl can summon a lot of strength from her wrath. Anything like an insult to a friend from treating one of her trees the wrong way will set off the walking time-bomb that goes by the name of Erika Meadows. Many, including herself, believe that her anger is her fatal flaw.
But despite the fact that Erika has a very short temper, she can be quite friendly and sweet as well. She is always very welcoming to all of her new cabin mates and siblings and tends to act like an older sister or a mother towards everyone--even those who are older than her. She insists that it must be a relief to be out of Cabin 11, the chaos that is the Hermes Cabin, and into her extremely organized cabin. She is most calm when outside in the nature, tending to her strawberries which are her most prized possessions at Camp. There are many times in which Erika wants to be left alone; a majority of Camp knows just when to leave the fair haired girl alone. Unless your name is Shay Robinson, of course. It might be because of the fact that she is a daughter of Demeter or due to the fact that she grew up on a farm, but Erika would easily pick being outdoors rather than indoors at any given moment.
{{ History;Erika grew up on a small farm in Virginia with her father, Jack Meadows. They grew all sorts of crops all year long (except for the winter, of course) and raised animals from cows and sheep to goats to chickens and ducks. The town that Erika lived in was an extremely small one in which everybody knew everybody; she attended a school so small that there was a total of twenty-two students of all ages attending it.
Erika loved living on the farm with her father more than anything. She would ride her horse in the morning and then go on a run with one of her dogs later after tending to the animals and the fields. Nature simply seemed to thrive around her. Crops would grow extra healthy and the animals would give off quality produce; she could have sworn that she was destined to be a farmer just as her father. Of course, Erika didn't know at the time that she was a demigod, let alone a daughter of the goddess of nature, Demeter. She hadn't a clue that the reason she displayed all of these qualities was due to her godly heritage.
For the first thirteen years of her life, everything was normal for Erika. She worked in the fields with her father every day and life was great. Until one day when a sunflower growing beside her in the summer grew into a giant one that was easily over ten feet tall; this flower became a natural wonder of the area and many came from all around to visit, including a satyr who had lived nearby. After explaining to both Erika and her father that it was highly likely that Erika was a demigod, Jack Meadows sent his daughter off to Camp where it would be much safer for her and where she could train herself so Erika could protect herself. She is only a summer camper at Camp Half-Blood.
And I wish that plant life
"would grow all around me
so I won't feel dead anymore"
{{ Likes;"My favorite food, surprisingly, is not strawberries. I'm just concerned for the financial issues with Camp so I tend to obsess over their production. Nonetheless I still do love strawberries, but my favorite food is actually anything with eggplant in it. Sadly we don't get to grow those at camp. Anyway I love the morning, sunrises, horses, the smell of fertilizer, and sunflowers."
{{ Dislikes;"The Hermes Cabin. I hate them with every fiber of my being...and that's really it. Well, if you absolutely have to know more, I dislike winter and the cold, and I really hate mosquitoes."
I saw a bear in the den
"reading my textbooks again"
{{ Weapon;"I've got this white leather belt that I wear all the time...unless I'm wearing sweatpants...then I carry it in my pocket or something. Basically what I'm trying to say is that I always have it on me. I mean, if I didn't carry it, then I would be unarmed. That's a huge mistake for a demigod like myself. When I take it off and whip it into the air it turns into an actual whip braided with celestial bronze string woven through. I think it's a pretty handy weapon; it's dangerous and leaves a mark. Just ask the Hermes Cabin. They face it regularly after all."
{{ Special Abilities;"I've got the basic powers of any Demeter kid; the nature life around me tends to grow extremely well; I grew a giant sunflower before I came here to Camp. I can also grow vines out of the ground or have the grass grow around someone's ankles. I've been working on sprouting a tree and having it grow to be full size within minutes actually. But it'll be a while before I master that."
{{ Fatal Flaw;"I have been told that my fatal flaw has something to do with my short temper, but hey, it's only short when the Hermes cabin makes it short...which is always. Yeah, I guess my temper is my fatal flaw."
Bats flowed like traffic
"as they poured from the attic
heaven knows, I could really use a friend."

"When I was young
it seemed that life was so wonderful,
a miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
and all the birds in the trees,
well they'd be singing so happily,
joyfully, playfully watching me.
but then they send me away
to teach me how to be sensible,
logical, responsible, practical.
and they showed me a world
where I could be so dependable,
clinical, intellectual, cynical."
There are times
"when all the world's asleep"
{{ Full Name;{{ Nickname;"I answer to Alphonse, but if you can call me Al. Alisa calls me Alfie, but that's just because she's my twin. I don't particularly like it."
{{ Gender;"If you couldn't tell from my appearance, I'm a male."
{{ Age;{{ Birthday;"Alisa and I were born on November twenty-second."
{{ Mortal Family;"My father's name is Samuel and my mother is Helen; I call her "Mom" because I thought she was my actual mother for a majority of my childhood."
{{ Godly Parent;The questions run
"too deep"
{{ Description;Alphonse can be considered to be a bit taller than average, yet he lacks about five or so inches when being compared to someone as colossal as Bran or Nate. He has dark blonde hair that he keeps relatively short; it's somewhere between a buzz cut and a shaggy skater boy appearance. The way Alphonse keeps his hair is incredibly logical to him; the boy can't seem to fathom how girls at Camp go into battle with long flowing hair and somehow miraculously exit with it all attached to their heads. His hair stays out of his way while performing regular Camp activities.
Alphonse has a very prim and proper look to him; just by looking at this demigod you can tell that he is quite intelligent, although the fact that he looks like a stereotypical Athena child will lead to others assuming that he is incredibly smart anyway. His gray eyes match those of his siblings, yet his have some flecks of green existing in the irises. The young man tends to wear a somewhat serious expression, but when found with his twin or anyone else that he's close with, a genuine smile is not uncommon.
{{ Height;"I'm five foot ten, so I think I'm taller than most girls and guys, but there's a handful of giants at Camp."
For such
"a simple man"
{{ Personality;A prominent feature that Alphonse Mendez possesses is the fact that he is incredibly intelligent, although that just comes with the fact that his mother is the goddess of wisdom, Athena. His specialty is being a strategist, which time after time makes weekly leaders of Capture the Flag anxious to sway Alphonse to their side when recruiting for the game before the game actually takes place Friday evenings. Although Alphonse is ridiculously intelligent he tends to be a pushover. Unfortunately Alphonse lets people walk all over him to the point that he can be seen as a doormat, especially when it comes to his twin. He isn't very assertive and it can be a bit humiliating to the blonde that most of the girls, not even in his cabin, are far more assertive than he is. He often gives into someone rather quickly when under pressure; that being said, Alphonse's intelligence seems to be hindered when being compelled to do something. This is what he considers to be his fatal flaw; the fact that he seems to crack under pressure. Although, if the matter he is being forced into is something that goes against his beliefs completely, he will stand up for himself and not allow himself and his ideas to be pushed aside so easily and without a fight.
Alphonse's mind is run by logic alone and is without any instincts; he will never charge into battle without first thinking everything through. He can think of strategies very quickly, so this phase before combat doesn't seem to last too long. Alphonse is also quite observant. He is much more of a listener than a talker; Alphonse will listen to whatever anyone has to tell him, no matter how well he knows the person talking to him. Sometimes his personality can be seen as 'awkward', yet the word isn't much of a stretch. Though Alphonse listens to new people, he isn't very good with talking to them and will often have Alisa introduce both her and him to any new campers. Even through this technique Alphonse will still awkwardly stand beside his twin and wave with a 'hi'.
Alphonse also tends to keep a very level-head and a calm mind. He is rarely overtaken by anger; no one at Camp has actually ever seen him in a bad mood. He likes to hear both sides of a story before choosing sides, and even though he doesn't like to chose, Alphonse will always come to a completely unbiased conclusion. He is very good with mediating problems occurring between demigods at Camp.
{{ History;The father of the Mendez twins, Samuel Mendez, was a reputable scholar in Boston who captured the attention of Athena. Though he was already married for ten years to his wife, Helen Mendez, a professor teaching at Boston University. Samuel's meeting with the goddess resulted in him having an 'affair' with the goddess, although affair might not be the correct term when brain children are involved, as Athena is a virgin goddess. When Alisa and Alphonse were dropped off on the porch of Mr. and Mrs. Mendez, Helen was completely shocked upon finding that her faithful husband had gone off and had an affair. Though Helen was level-headed and allowed her husband to explain himself to her and eventually found it in her heart to forgive him once she believed his story.
The married couple couldn't just drop off the newborns at an orphanage, and since they couldn't have children of their own, Helen suggested raising the two as if they were their own children. So Alphonse and Alisa went on growing up with Samuel and Helen in a normal household living relatively normal lives. The identity of their mother being a goddess was kept from the twins for their own safety. Their parents knew that they were demigods, but waited to tell them until the time was right. Alphonse and Alisa believed that Helen was their mother.
The monster attacks began when the twins were thirteen. After narrowly escaping an unknown attack at their school, Alphonse wanted to know what was after them. That day the Mendez twins learned of their godly heritage and were sent off to Camp Half-Blood where they became year-round campers.
Won't you please
"please tell me what we've learned"
{{ Likes;"It sounds boring and lame, but I like anything logic-based. Obviously I like reading, and my favorite subject to read about is probably anything history related. I also like archery quite a lot; the reason I took up the arrow in the first place was to see how quickly I could measure the trajectory of the arrow and--I'm sorry, I'll stop before I bore you any further."
{{ Dislikes;"I wouldn't say I hate it, but I do extremely dislike doing nothing. I have to occupy myself with some activity at all times or else I'll feel like I'm not accomplishing anything, which is a horrible feeling. I also don't like it when people disturb me when I'm reading or studying."
I know it sounds
"absurd"
{{ Weapon;"I don't use anything too flashy; I fight with a bow and I sometimes keep a quiver on my back; I have a personal one but I don't mind using a standard quiver full of arrows at the archery range; all of them work fine. I keep the bow in an owl keychain that my mother gave me; she said it resembles the Mark of Athena or something like that, but no matter how much research on it I do--and believe me this is my biggest research topic--I always come to a dead end."
{{ Special Abilities;"Well since Mother is the goddess of wisdom, I'm pretty intelligent, as are all of my half-siblings. But other than that I seem to be the best strategist in my cabin; I can see all of the possible scenarios playing in my head relatively quickly so if we're ever pressed for time I can probably come up with something even though I don't do well under pressure."
{{ Fatal Flaw;"I tend to over think things. A lot, actually. Alisa tells me that I always have a look on my face like I'm calculating something and the rest of my half siblings agree; everyone says that'll lead to my downfall."
But please tell me
"who I am."

"I turn the music up, I got my records on
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song
and all the kids they dance
all the kids all night
until Monday morning feels another life
I turn the music up
I'm on a roll this time
and heaven is in sight."
Maybe I'm in the black
"maybe I'm on my knees"
{{ Full Name;{{ Nickname;"Can you think of a nickname for Landon? Seriously, think of something creative! I've been called something lame like L, but that's really it."
{{ Gender;"Um...last time I went to the bathroom I was a boy."
{{ Age;"I'm seventeen years old."
{{ Birthday;"That would be May seventeenth."
{{ Mortal Family;"My mom's name is Lily and I've got a step father named Steve. They've got two kids--my mortal half brothers--Kyle and Nick. They're ten year old twins."
{{ Godly Parent;Maybe I'm in the gap
"between the two trapezes"
{{ Description;Landon doesn't have the stereotypical "surfer dude" look of an Apollo kid. Instead his eyes are a pale blue green color. Depending on how the light hits the irises, they will be mostly one of the previously mentioned colors rather than the other. Landon usually sports a goofy smile on his face that goes directly hand in hand with his laid-back personality. His skin tone is usually tanned throughout the summer season due to the fact that he spends almost all of his time outdoors (although this may be because of the fact that he is a son of Apollo). During the winter his skin returns to its naturally pale appearance.
The son of Apollo's hair can be called a dark blonde or a light brown; he honestly doesn't care too much, though. The tips of his hair appear to be darker than the rest. As for its style, he doesn't necessarily try to do anything with it. Landon will wake up in the morning and run his hand through his bedhead before going out for the day--and sometimes he won't even do that. The only time it's completely neat is right after taking a shower. There always seem to be sections of his hair that will never sit properly on his head.
Landon has an average height and build; he's not nearly as skinny as someone like Shay yet he's no muscle-man either. His forte is music, not combat.
{{ Height;"I'm just your Average Joe at five foot ten."
But my heart is beating
"and my pulses start"
{{ Personality;Landon is your pretty average good guy; he's overly friendly and outgoing. He practically gives off a vibe that make shim extremely approachable to both new and old campers. He's talkative, too. A bit too talkative. To put it simply, Landon doesn't understand how to shut his mouth. He isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer...not by a long shot, though it actually turns out to be a very endearing quality of his. He makes up for his lack of intelligence with his heart, though. He's a very loyal and faithful friend who will do anything to protect those close to him. He also blindly places his trust in others which isn't a very good thing; he believes that it's his fatal flaw. This overly trusting personality could possibly get Landon into some dangerous scenarios in the future. In addition to the traits previously mentioned, the son of Apollo is very brave; although this has its negatives as well as he will occasionally charge into battle without even thinking at all first if an ally's life is on the line.
Landon's love of music comes from Apollo being his father, of course. There was a music store right down the street from his home in Philadelphia where he would spend a lot of his time growing up. This was also the location of his part-time job. During the duration of his years in Philly, Landon picked up the skills of playing a huge variety of musical instruments. His all time favorite is the harmonica, yet he is also a good vocalist and can play the piano, guitar, saxophone, drums--you name it, Landon can definitely play it to some extent. He also has a very good ear and can play almost any song after hearing it only once. He has a few personal instruments of his own (a harmonica, guitar, and saxophone) yet the Apollo cabin is full of any instrument he can imagine. He is just as protective over his own instruments as he is over his friends.
There's one thing mentioned previously about Landon that has always been a more negative trait; he is extremely gullible, which comes hand in hand with the fact that he isn't the most intelligent person at Camp and trusts easily. He is easily fooled not only because of his wits...or lack of wits...but because of his easy going nature.
{{ History;Surprisingly Landon had a pretty average life for a demigod. He grew up in Philadelphia where his mother, Anna, remarried to your average man named Steve when he was very young. The family of three got along very well; Steve acted like a father to Landon. Landon never asked about his father and therefore his mother gave him no details about his birth father. In fact, Anna didn't even know that Landon's father was a god! The demigod didn't do very well in school due to his severe ADHD and dyslexia like all of the others of his kind.
When Landon turned ten years old, his mother gave birth to his half-brothers; twins by the name of Kyle and Nick. This is where his life took a chaotic turn, but it was still bearable. Taking care of the twins took a lot of extra time and effort; even Landon had to put a lot of work into raising them. About a year or two later Landon got a part time job at a music store a block away from his house; he was already there enough and it was well known that Landon had a passion for music. A part time job gave him some pocket money and some extra money for his parents as well.
Landon arrived at Camp one day while he was hanging around at the music store with his friends. A newer friend turned out to be an empousa in disguise and attempted to kill him. Once again, Landon blindly placed his trust in another and almost lost his life because of it. Just when he thought he was about to die--and he saw his life flash before his eyes-- a few demigods in the area burst into the store and later took him to Camp Half-Blood. This day happened when he was thirteen years old. Landon attended as a year-rounder for his first year in order to adjust to his new life style and be trained but he decided that he couldn't just leave his family like that and now only attends as a summer camper.
Cathedrals in
"my heart"
{{ Likes;"Music is basically my favorite thing. I love all musical instruments and any type of music--all genres out there. I like to play instruments and make music, lead campfires, sing sometimes--did I mention music is basically everything I have? No? Well I love music."
{{ Dislikes;"I don't dislike too many things. Pressure's a definite. I don't really like burnt food either but if I was the one cooking it would be burnt so I probably shouldn't complain."
And we saw, oh, this light, emerging, blinking
"into to tell me it's all right"
{{ Weapon;"Heh...funny story about my weapon actually, you're gonna love it. So I have this harmonica that holds my weapon. When I play a note on it my regular sword comes out so I can fight with that. That usually works perfectly and stuff, but one time when I was in the heat of the battle I played a note that was different than the one I usually play. Until then I always played the same note by habit. But this time when I played that other note this tiny dagger came out and gave me a bit of a bad start to the dagger. Yeah, needless to say I'm still trying to figure out what this harmonica does."
{{ Special Abilities;"Us Apollo kids have some pretty basic powers. I can play any instrument I pick up which is awesome. I'm a naturally good healer, too. It's one of the only things I'm good at besides being a musician. Unlike all of my siblings, though, I'm not very good at archery...I'll learn one day though!"
{{ Fatal Flaw;"I'm known for trusting people basically immediately after I meet them...it's a hard habit to break."
As we soar walls
"every siren is a symphony."

| | Nelia Lynn Kressin | |
▪ Miss independent, miss self-sufficient, miss keep your distance ▪ || Full Name || "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Nalia Lynn Kressin."
|| Nickname || "Among my fellow hunters I tend to be called "Nal" or even "Nallie" but I would rather you just call me "Nalia"
|| Gender || "As I am a hunter, I am a maiden, so naturally I must be female."
|| Age || "I honestly lost track of the years; they've been such a blur. I believe that I'm over one hundred years old now, but I became a hunter when I was eighteen."
|| Birthday || "I was born on February twenty-third."
|| Eye Description|| Nalia has a icy blue eyes that tend to be the first thing that you notice about her; they are extremely piercing.
|| Skin Tone || Nalia's skin is extremely pale; so pale that it is practically white. Her complexion is completely covered with small brown freckles all over her body.
|| Hair Color || Her hair is a basic brown color.
|| Hair Style || Nalia's brunette hair is naturally a midpoint between being wavy and curly. While in combat, she tends to tie her dark hair back into a tight bun so none of it gets in her way; her hair when down falls to a bit below her shoulders.
|| Height || 'I'm five feet and eight inches tall."
|| Weight || "If you must know I'm one hundred thirty nine pounds; I don't know what exactly you plan to do with this information."
|| Crush || "I'll crush you if you ask me that again."
|| Boyfriend/Girlfriend || "As one of Artemis' huntresses I have sworn off love."
|| Godly Parent || "I was originally born to Athena as a matter of fact."
|| Kin|| "Does it matter? I have outlived all of them after all. But before I was a hunter and knew of my godly relatives I had a father named Andrew."
|| History || Nalia was born in the early 1930's, and by the time she was fifteen years old, the United States of America was participating in World War II. She grew up in a time that was much different than the times today and is around one hundred years old as stated previously; Nalia didn't exactly have an easy life. Surprisingly her father was in the military and was almost always away fighting and putting his life in danger. The current lieutenant of the hunters of Artemis had a boyfriend who was about two years older than her; when Nalia was sixteen, he was drafted into the war. She wanted nothing more than to enlist in the war and fight alongside the two most important men in her life, but she wasn't allowed to be an army officer. Her desire to learn to fight was what caused Athena to guide her daughter to Camp Half Blood where she stayed until she was seventeen. During one of the final battles of World War II, both her father and boyfriend were killed; this caused Nalia to never want to grow attached to another male again, so Artemis extended her hand and offered for the daughter of Athena to become a huntress. She has been a loyal hunter and Nalia has been Artemis' lieutenant for at least twenty years.
|| Personality || When she was younger living the life of an average mortal Nalia was a very outgoing girl. She was always smiling and laughing and loved the world around her. Slowly her love for the world deteriorated once the war started and as she learned of her godly roots. Throughout the years Nalia has grown accustomed to a stoic face and has been hardened, nearly losing herself many times. A good word to describe how Nalia is today is mature. It's only natural for a woman who has been alive for around one hundred years to be as mature as Nalia is, though. She has many old fashioned mannerisms and sayings. She handles all situations with a calm and level head and hardly ever loses her temper. Because of the experiences in her past Nalia has grown cold towards a majority of males, especially when meeting them for the first time. She gives love the cold shoulder, but it can be assumed that Nalia is just afraid of growing attached to a male again because of the fact that she lost both her lover in the past and her father as well. The dark haired girl is also very blunt when speaking commonly with the people around her. The current lieutenant of the huntresses is often said to have a personality that reflects her eye color; icy blue and somewhat cold. Nalia prefers not to open up to anyone and is not very trusting at all; she only places her trust in her fellow sister hunters because she has known them for so many years and has traveled alongside them.
||Fatal Flaw || "My fellow huntresses have told me that I'm a bit too weary of people and too slow to trust; apparently it's a feature that we could deal without. If it's my fatal flaw I suppose that I simply cannot help it."
|| Weapon(s) || "As I am a hunter under Artemis, I fight very simply with a silver bow and I keep a quiver full of arrows on my back. I see no need to have to charm it into any other form; it's easiest just to take my bow off of my back so I can use it in combat."
|| Powers || "I honestly don't have too many great powers; since I am a daughter of Athena by birth I do have her intelligence and such, but I have been a hunter longer than I have been a demigod so my archery skills are certainly up to par."

Character Form:
Full Name:Celia Sanders
Nickname(s):Ceal (Although she rarely goes by this)
Age:15
Gender: Female
Godly Parent:Hephaestus
Picture/Description:
Height: 5'3"
Personality:Celia is a kind, more gentle and reserved girl when compared to the others. She isn't exactly a shy, but doesn't really speak unless spoken to or if she feels strongly about what she has to say. She expresses herself through the work that she does in the forge, and is very prideful in her creations. She is also a bit of a perfectionist, scraping anything that doesn't turn out exactly how she pictured it in her mind.
History:Celia never knew her mother; she was raised in various different foster homes and as an orphan in an orphanage at some points; she was always sent back there for unknown reasons. Eventually, Celia began to blame herself and was sure that there was something wrong with her. One day when she confided in her closest friend, the same friend turned out to be a satyr and sent her to Camp.
Weapon: Celia fights with a
spear that also happens to be the first weapon that she created at Camp. Though it has its imperfections and is not her best work, it's important to her. It is charmed into a necklace pendant in the shape of a
hammer when not in use.
Special Abilities they posess:Celia has special skills when creating things; she seems to be able to create anything from sculptures to weapons. She can also control fire slightly, but isn't very successful when she has to; she commonly messes up and destroys whatever project she was working on.

| | Kallie Norma Saltford | |
▪ So raise your glass if you are wrong in all the right ways all my underdogs we will never be never be anything but loud. ▪ || Full Name || "Hiya! I'm Kallie Norma Saltford!"
|| Nickname || "Y'know, I've been called loads of nicknames. Kal, Kallers, K, some people call me either Bubbles or Sunshine 'cause of my personality. Call me whatever, y'know, unless it's rude or something!"
|| Gender || "Well I do believe that I am most certainly a female."
|| Age || "Seventeen years young, that's what I am!"
|| Birthday || "I was born on July fifth; summer birthdays are great; I never have to be in school for my birthday!"
|| Eye Description|| Kallie has hazel eyes that look like they're brown for a majority of the time.
|| Skin Tone || Kallie's skin is a pretty average tone; it's fair but it's not all that pale either. It's evenly tanned to be a bit of a darker beige tone all over her body.
|| Hair Color || Kallie has dark auburn hair that's actually natural; it's so dark that it's practically such a red color that looks very artificial.
|| Hair Style || "Number one rule of the forge; it's not my responsibility if your hair catches on fire if you forget to get it out of your face!" Kallie wears her hair down for a majority of the time, but while working on the forge she ties it back into a ponytail for safety.
|| Height || "Eh, I guess you could say I'm a bit shorter than average; I'm five foot four."
|| Weight || "Uh do I really have to disclose this information? Fine, I'll tell you and only you! I'm one hundred and twenty five pounds."
|| Crush || "Oh I've got my eye on someone...hah! I totally got you there, didn't I? We'll see this summer."
|| Boyfriend/Girlfriend || "Well y'know not right now, but a girl's got her options doesn't she?"
|| Godly Parent || "Heffy is my daddy! Oh, right, you don't know about the nicknames...I'll say his real name once: Hephaestus. Betcha didn't see that one coming, huh?"
|| Kin|| "Oh where to begin...well to start I've got a mother named Grace and a stepfather named Jim. Oh right, nearly forgot. I've got a younger half-brother and an even younger half-sister...they're, erm, quite a lot of fun."
|| History || Kallie was always told that her mother had it hard when she was young, not that she would remember anything that happened to her from when she was one to six years old. Grace Saldford had a tough life as a single mother, and for the first few years of Kallie's life, they didn't do too well financially. They lived in a small trailer in a little town in Rhode Island. Grace Saltford soon met Jim Hartford; they fell in love and you should know the rest. Jim was quite well off when it came to money--he was a well-known construction worker in Manhattan, so the marriage between the two was really the end of the Saltford's financial problems and they moved into the city. Jim payed for Kallie to attend a very expensive and high-class private school, but unfortunately due to her basic demigod learning disabilities school wasn't too easy for her; she seemed to excel in only the classes relating to her innate abilities that came from being a daughter of Hephaestus. She arrived at Camp by simple means; there was a demigod who lived in the apartment next to the one she shared with her family and this demigod neighbor could tell that she was a half-blood after she manipulated fire once--Kallie was brought to Camp Half-Blood before it was too late (luckily before she burned something down with her powers) and remained completely safe. She arrived at Camp when she was fourteen and is only a summer camper.
|| Personality || Kallie is easily one of the most cheerful people at Camp; it is a rare sight for her to be in a bad mood of any kind and she tends to look through the rose-colored glass and is extremely optimistic and happy-go-lucky. She has endless energy and sometimes this causes her to practically bounce off the walls. She is a comical young woman who can seem to make even the most serious of people laugh with her silly acts and with her bizarre ways of going about certain tasks. She is always seen laughing and smiling and playfully teases not only her friends but any campers all of the time. Kallie is always very welcoming to the newest campers who have been claimed into her cabin and tries her best to make them feel at home. She is extremely creative when it comes to ideas for plans for her cabin and knows how to go about making them.
A strange trait that Kallie also possesses deals with sleeping habits; the auburn haired girl tends to fall asleep in the most ridiculious and bizarre places almost instantly. Kallie also gives nicknames to everyone around her; once the girl comes up with a nickname, she will never forget it and wil call that person by that nickname for the rest of the time that she knows him/her. If the receiver of one of her sometimes creative nicknames fights back, it only makes her call them that more; she even gives nicknames to the gods and calls them those nicknames, too. Everyone at Camp has basically just learned to deal with the nicknames and are aware that she will never give up on them.
The last bit about Kallie is very important. The young woman is very idealistic and is a dreamer; she believes in all of the tall tales that she hears from people, even one about a special stone that can grant wishes. She has many ideals that are nearly impossible to be true but that doesn't keep her from thinking of those ideals and chasing after her dreams.
||Fatal Flaw || "I need to get my head out of the clouds, though I won't be admitting that any time soon; I'll always be the girl who has wild dreams!"
|| Weapon(s) || "Oh am I ever proud of my main weapon! It's this spear that's made of hard wood and a celestial bronze head that I crafted myself. But I rigged it to be pretty special; at the very bottom of the hilt there's a tiny switch and it fires out celestial bronze bullets! Pretty neat, huh? I call it a Spear Gun and it's unique to me! When I'm not using it I've charmed it into this yellow slap bracelet that says my name on it."
|| Powers || "I've got the usual powers for a Heffy kid like me. I can control fire which is pretty neat and I'm real good in the forge. I've got a ton of creative ideas floating around in the old noggin and I'm good at bringing them to life, too. I might not look it but I'm actually pretty smart! Oh I've got this weird talent; if something's ever broken I just give it a good kick and it usually fixes it right up!"

Even though she would prefer to look average, her appearance comes along with being a daughter of Aphrodite and whether she will admit it or not, she has grown to accept the fact that she cannot make herself ever look unpresentable. Her hair is a brown so dark that it's practically black. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Emily never does anything with her hair, because that's the way she is. She'll wake up and leave her cabin without even checking how it looks in the mirror. Unfortunately she doesn't even have to because her hair will always look perfect without Emily even having to try to do so. Occasionally when practicing or in the midst of a battle she will tie her hair up into a messy ponytail or a bun, though she tends to leave it down; it falls a few inches below her shoulder when left down.
Another distinguishing feature of Emily would be her eyes. They are a bright and clear crystal blue color. Though her eyes, similar in color to Nicole's, lack that intimidating quality, though they can be seen as cold depending on the older teen's mood. She also leaves her eyes free of any makeup whatsoever. Emily is a firm believer that beauty is not skin deep and never tries to impress others with her appearance. Her appearance tends to do that on her own, as her mother is the goddess of beauty. Emily is an average height in the mid five feet range and is usually found wearing a Camp t-shirt and jeans. Her skin is fair and has no blemishes, which is another trait she received from her mother.
{{ Height;"I think I'm five foot six inches or something; I don't measure myself regularly. Bran's seems like he's a whole foot taller than me, though, which he loves to rub in my face."
Get put
"back together"
{{ Personality;Emily can come across a matter of ways. Depending on her mood when one comes across her for the first time, she can be extremely friendly or extremely threatening and intimidating. People who she gets first impressions of tend to stay on her good side, though. This daughter of Aphrodite has a very sarcastic sense of humor that can be described as dry and sometimes even somewhat dark. She is a firm believer that beauty exists in a person's insides rather than their outsides, much to all of her siblings' dismay. She never really fit in with her own cabin (other than her blood sister, Silena) and some see it as a wonder that she wasn't claimed by Ares. This is partially because of the fact that Emily truly despises any makeup and never dresses up unless she absolutely has to; the only time she wore a dress was on once on a quest when she had to enter a beauty pageant for a quest item...it's not something she likes to talk about. Her own cabin tends to make snide remarks about her regularly, yet Emily doesn't care in the slightest. She's an extremely prideful person and would never let what another persons says get to her unless she was in a very emotional state; Emily is rarely found in such a state and only cries when she is truly upset.
She is also brutally honest and will always say what's on her mind. Some see this as if she doesn't have a filter for what she says, and Emily has been notorious in the past for blurting out many things that could be considered offensive to others. She will never lie to someone unless the situation is extreme and calls for it. The brunette tends to be a natural leader, though she is quite modest about this along with most of her other features. When put in a situation of authority, Emily will most definitely take charge and will not shirk her responsibility. She always wants people to like her for her and not because of what she looks like, but this is rarely the case; people are captivated by her naturally breathtaking appearance upon first sight for the most part. This wasn't the case with Bran, which--though she will never tell this to him--caused her to respect him and value him as one of her most treasured allies and more importantly, friend.
Emily is a particularly passionate individual and is that way about anything or anyone that she feels strongly about. She is extremely driven and has a thing for never giving up, which can easily be her fatal flaw. She overworks herself to extremes and overestimates her own ability regularly. Despite her dyslexia and ADHD that all other demigods have, she has a quirk for education and likes to learn. Her favorite subject is history and is always trying to learn more about the history of Olympus and the gods. Percy claims that she must've picked up on that from Annabeth, as the two of them are two of her closest friends; she fought with them times before and after the Titan War.
{{ History;Emily grew up in Manhattan with her demigod sister, Silena Beauregard, and her father, Louis. Louis Beauregard was the owner of a handful of successful restaurants spanning across the state. She and her sister have been year-rounders ever since Emily was about eight. The sisters were attacked by hellhounds when they were walking home from school. Her father knew about the gods and the girls' heritage and told them about their mother, driving them to Camp Half-Blood later that day. Emily picked up on swordplay very well and has now lived at Camp for ten years straight.
Silena and Emily rarely returned home. It wasn't that they didn't love their father, as the family of three had a very close knit family, but during their first year at Camp Louis found a terrible girlfriend by the name of Kate Pizzo whom the girls truly despised. Their two homes were with their father and the other being Camp, where Emily already had made many close friends.
The brunette performed very well in the Titan War along with heroes such as Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase, a war that already happened three years ago, and she is still extremely touchy about the subject of her sister's death. She grows very defensive whenever Silena is mentioned (especially if mentioned in the light of a traitor) and refuses to believe that Silena was anything but a hero. Her reaction to others speaking of her sister in bad grace often result in violence.
Keep breaking
"me in"
{{ Likes;"Inner beauty is the first thing that comes to mind, because that's everything that I stand for. But other than that, I love Dad's cooking, my sister, sword fighting, combat, and almost all of Camp Half Blood in general. It's really nice, here; it's basically my second home. I'll admit that I love baseball games with my dad and snow."
{{ Dislikes;"Everything my siblings stand for. I really hate when people are so shallow and immature. I hate when people make decisions for me, and I really don't like it when people talk about my sister in front of me. I also don't like being pushed into something that I don't want to do."
And this is how
"we will end"
{{ Weapon;"I guess what I do is unique; I haven't seen anyone else at Camp fighting exactly like me after all. I fight with two blades; one is a full side sword that I've had since I arrived at Camp and the other is a dagger. The dagger was given to me by Mother and the other sword was forged by Charles Beckendorf when he was still alive; I treasure them both. They match for the most part; they're both made of Celestial Bronze and have very rough and jagged edges. I keep the sword in a geode necklace and the dagger in a locket."
{{ Special Abilities;"Through my years of experience I've mastered the use of Charmspeak and I can change my appearance whenever I want--not that I'd ever want to do that."
{{ Fatal Flaw;"Stubbornness, hands down. Apparently I'm one of the most stubborn demigods here. Obviously I wasn't present when they took that vote."
With you and me
"bent."
