//Claudia Elvira Windsor // Daughter of Hades // Huntress of Artemis//
ƒυℓℓ ηαмє: Claudia "Claud" Elvira Windsor
αgє: 14
gєη∂єя: Female
αρρєαяαη¢є: Small and wiry, Claudia is built for speed rather than brute strength. She is fair skinned, with pale freckles across her nose and cheeks. Her hair is reddish-blonde, cut in a short, boyish-yet-feminine undercut/faux mohawk. The bottom tips of her hair was dip-dyed teal. Her eyes are a light green, that seem to go from kind to cold chips of jade in a heartbeat. She comes from an Irish-Scottish household, with more Scottish blood than Irish.
She may look 14, but at this point in time, if Claudia were to have aged, she would be about 17. She has her fair share of scars, though most of them she keeps hidden. The only one not hidden is barely noticeable, and it is from a scrap she got into while visiting Camp Half-Blood. The other notable scar is hidden away by a black bandana. It is a ring of scars that circles her wrist.
If asked about it, she automatically gets quiet. Artemis and her father are the only two who really know what happened.
As a Huntress of Artemis - the Junior Lieutenant, to be exact - Claudia has a standard to uphold. She keeps herself in top condition by training constantly. What she lacks in strength, she makes up for in her ability to shoot.
Clothing wise, it's either a pair of dark jeans, hiking boots, and some sort of shirt incorporating the colours silver and teal. More often than not, it's a loose-fitting teal shirt and a light-weight, silver denim jacket. For more formal affairs, she dons a more feminine outfit of a skirt and blouse in silver and teal.
While clothing-wise, her appearance changes, one thing that stays the same is the few accessories she always wears.
These include:
-Silver-dyed leather bracers, given to her by Artemis. They signify that she is second-in-command.
-A Black-wood bow and quiver, given to her by her father, Hades. He didn't like that she became a Huntress, but allowed her to make her own decision. There are some arrows in the quiver that have poison tips, while the others are celestial bronze. When not in use, it shrinks down to the size of a small black charm, which she wears on a bracelet. There are two bow charms on this bracelet, one black, the other is silver.
-A pure silver bow, given to her by Artemis. It was a gift to her, upon becoming a Huntress. It's engraved with markings of the wild, glyphs that represent the moon and the freedom of not being tied down. When using this bow, Em can call upon the spirits of the wild to aid her. The silver-arrows that she uses with this bow are fletched with falcon feathers.
-Two silver knives, given to her by Artemis upon her joining the Hunt. The knives and the bow are things given to each Huntress upon joining.
-Celestial-Bronze "cat-claws", forged by her best friend, Kenneth. He made them so that they would fit over her hands, with the celestial bronze claws poking between each finger.
-Silver and jade celtic cross, worn on a chain around her neck. It was a gift from her great-grandmother, who believed there was always something special about her little Hunter (She doesn't formally know about Claudia's being a Hunter of Artemis, but she always called the girl her little Hunter when she went to Scotland to visit her mother's family. It was her great-grandmother who taught her how to shoot a bow.)
-Black bandana, covering the scars surrounding her right wrist.
ρєяѕσηαℓιtу: As well-worded as she is witty, Claudia jumps at any chance to prove someone wrong. She's sarcastic and brusque--don't bother talking to her if you don't have thick skin. It's important to note that she (rarely) does this out of malice or spite... She really just likes to come of as witty; that and she doesn't really censor herself. She can, but doesn't really do so unless she has some underlying reason.
With Claudia, what you see is what you get, no questions asked. She doesn’t care what others think about her (though, that is sort of a lie. We will touch base on that later.), nor does she care what they think about what she does or says. She will tell you exactly what’s on her mind and if she likes you or not. If it’s the latter, prepare to be ignored for life. That being said, she does have feelings like every other person. At the end of the day, a mean comment will have her upset. It’s just her pride that forces her to hide it.
Be it camping in the nearby woods or participating as the lead in a school play, Claud is willing to try something at least once in her life. That being said, if she doesn’t find it enjoyable, she’ll probably never try it again. She’s always willing to accept a dare, even if she knows it could end badly.
Claudia is not – in her own words – a ‘girly girl’ by any means. She’d rather be out in the woods than at a mall, or hunting rather than at a dance. She rarely dresses up, preferring a more tomboyish style. She could care less as to what the boys think of her, other than an equal.
Once Claudia makes up her mind about something, it’s hard to get her to change her mind about it. Due to this stubbornness (or her love of a challenge), there is a spark in Claud that will not allow her to back down from a fight.
Truthfully, Claudia is a wanderer. She hates staying in one place for too long. Travel is her life. It's what she does. Or, rather, what she wants to do. There is a look in her eyes, one that any traveler will recognize. The want for adventure. The want to find a new place. The want to meet new people and try new things.
If you ever happen to get on her bad side, my one point of advice is to get out. It takes a lot to get her really angry, but it wouldn’t do you any good to test that theory. She has a tendency to harbor grudges against those she doesn’t like, and it takes quite a bit for her to forget something. She has no qualms with getting revenge, so it wouldn’t do well to cross her.

//Kenneth "Ken" Mason Ziots // Son of Aphrodite//
ƒυℓℓ ηαмє: Kenneth "Ken" Mason Ziots
αgє: 17
gєη∂єя: Male
αρρєαяαη¢є: Tall and thin, Kenneth is a handsome fellow, and he knows it. He is built with speed in mind, preferring long-ranged weapons over daggers and swords.
That's not to say he isn't strong.
Kenneth is fit, and it shows. He spends his most - if not all - of his free time out in the woods surrounding the camp, hunting and honing his skills or in the smithy, working on weapons.
Looks wise, Kenneth is ruggedly handsome. His light mocha complexion and dark eyes coupled with his brown-black hair (a bit on the longer side, usually pulled into a horse-tail) makes him a favourite with the ladies.
He makes it a point to stay away from the norms of the Aphrodite kids, dressing in khaki shorts (or Levi's Jeans), hiking boots, and t-shirts, though he knows how to make his style look good.
That being said, he cleans up pretty well. When required to be a bit more formal, he chooses to wear nice black jeans, a white dress shirt, and a leather sports jacket.
He has a few things he always has, no matter what. They include:
-A set of celestial bronze daggers, given to him by his mother, Aphrodite. When not in use, he can turn them into small, keychain versions of them, but Ken prefers wearing them on a sheath at his belt.
-A celtic knot necklace that Claudia gave him when she left to become a Huntress. They were very close at the time they came to the Camp, and Kenneth had a bit of a crush on Claudia.
-The Camp necklace, with three beads on it. The beads are a silver moon, a tree and a dream catcher.
ρєяѕσηαℓιtу: Kenneth was brought up in a family who was extremely friendly to everyone. He grew up with three sisters and an older brother (none having Aphrodite as their mother). This has taught him to be a gentleman towards girls, no matter what, and he learned at an early age how to defend himself in a gentlemanly manner.
While he does have this bold, outgoing side to him, Kenneth is a generally reserved individual. He’s the sort of guy who'd rather sit in a corner with a good book rather than hang out with many people. He’s perfectly fine with people, but just prefers to be on his own. He’s not one to go up to a stranger and talk to then, but rather will wait for them to approach him.
He believes that nature has a higher meaning. He believes in animal totems and guides, and believes that he has learned a lot from his chosen guide, the Mountain Lion. To those who don’t understand Kenneth as a person, his views on religion and spirituality can be quite confusing.
Kenneth is quite the scholar. He enjoys books and learning and loves talking to the Athena kids on an intellectual level. A lot of what he knows is due to the love of learning that he has possessed since he was a child.
He has an inventors mindset, or rather, he likes to think of himself as one. If he's not in the woods, you'll find him with the Hephaestus campers, creating something. He loves pulling apart things to see how they work.
Admittedly, Kenneth is a geek. Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons, LotR. Anything along those lines, he's probably going to be obsessed. He owns a replica of Darth Maul's dual blades Lightsaber, and quite a few other geeky things. If you happen to strike up a conversation with him on any of those topics, be prepared to talk for a while.

//Tyler "Ty" Aenwyn Bennett//Son of Athena//
ƒυℓℓ ηαмє: Tyler "Ty" Aenwyn Bennett
αgє: 17
gєη∂єя: Biologically female, identifies as Transgender, Male.
αρρєαяαη¢є: With not much muscle, Tyler, or Ty, as he prefers to be called, still has much of his female figure. He is wiry and lean, with dark mahogany skin and soot-black hair, pulled into a multitude of braids. His eyes are a lively dark brown.
Ty's most predominant feature would have to be the skin condition that he has had since birth.
He has vitiligo, and thus, there are irregular patches of ivory skin across his face - eyes, mainly - and his chest, arms, and back.
Clothing wise, Tyler tends to dress sharply. He likes black jeans and fitted t-shirts, and a pair of black hiking boots. He wears a hoodie that says "Bowie" across the front, showing his love for the eccentric David Bowie.
Being biologically female and not on any sort of testosterone, Tyler has a small collection of chest binders.
He does have a small number of artifacts that he carries with him constantly:
-a celestial bronze dagger with an owl engraved into the hilt. It was a gift from his mother, when he arrived at Camp Half-Blood. He wears it on his belt.
-Camp Necklace with beads (a black one that looks like the night sky, a small copper tree, a six-sided dice, and a crescent moon).
-a silver bracelet given to him by Claudia before she became a Huntress.
-One silver earring and a number of ear cuffs.
ρєяѕσηαℓιtу: Outgoing, fearless, and at ease with who he is, Ty is as honest as you can get. He is always willing to lend a hand. He’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie, and is almost always moving. He was adopted by a gay couple, and because of that – and his own sexual and gender orientations - he has a huge amount of respect for those like his fathers.
Over protective of his friends, Tyler is the first to act if one of them is being made fun of or teased. He is the type to act first, act second, act third, and if it crosses his mind, thinks fourth. He has the terrible habit of holding grudges towards those who do something towards his family or friends.
He is extremely active, participating - and excelling - in a number of sports: parkour, skateboarding, running, swimming/diving.
Because of this active lifestyle, Tyler hates rainy days when he is forced to stay inside, or sitting still.
