Fears: I am absolutely terrified of heights and I tend to fear homeless people with absolutely no money, I know that sounds horrible but the frighten me, oh so much.
Personality: How to describe me? Well that's an interesting concept I suppose. I had always been a creative individual of my own. I don't really show much for emotions, I don't cry in front of people and I don't really raise my temper too much. I have always been one to keep my emotions to a basic level and I let them out in my own creative ways like painting, drawing, or even just swimming. It's a good way for me to keep everything together and keep myself calm and able to work in tough situations, I'm not the brightest of the demigod's obviously because there's the children of Athena, and I don' like to be in control of situations much like the Zeus children tend to be like from time to time. I do know where my heart is though and I tend to follow it, as sappy as that may sound it's very true for the most part. I don't really looking into things or study for certain things I follow a gut instinct because most times it proves to be right, even if it may feel like the wrong answer and I tend to question myself I go for it and naturally in studies I am correct but there's always room for errors, but it's fine if I fail, I just learn from my mistakes and get back up. I'm not really a push over in that sense, you knock me down and I will get back up with ease and I wont make a big deal out of it nine times out of ten. I am rather fierce and often times I can go with the flow of things but I have my moments of going against the current in many several ways most people don't even know of or dream of. Yes there is a whole lot more depth to my personality but I feel these are the basics that are the best to know about me and the rest I suppose can all be displayed later, different people can get different reactions and different situations always makes a difference in personality.
History: Well I guess we could talk about how my parents met, since I hear the story quite often from my mother. My mother Abigail Cobra, was a brilliant young women who was more than capable of taking care of herself, she didn't quite graduate high school though. The thing is she was working at a surf board shack where she lived in Maine. It was a family owned business of course. My mother was the age of seventeen in her senior year of high school, she had been out on spring vacation and was catching some waves and showing off on her skills, she loved the water just as much as most people did there, they surfed, had big fires for everyone to get together, almost anything wonderful you could imagine. The whole group of regulars at the beach were all one big family and they were all close, they told my mother to stay in school and get a good education and go off to college and follow her dreams, what most didn't know her one big dream was to be a mother. Besides all that junk, my mother was catching some waves, as per usual but this time it was different, she had been a bit out of it when a wave crashed down on her, she was just about to resurface when something had been starting to pull her down and she struggled to go back up to the top, shouts could be heard from a distant but soon enough my mother had blacked out, and according to my father's half of the story that my mother had heard from him.
He had been scuba diving in the water with the fishes an he was studying the water and the life in it. Soon enough he noticed the situation an he took care of it, but by the time he had gotten her, she had been out of it. He brought her back up to surface where he soon gave CPR to her and eventually she started to breathe again. My father had saved my mother's life and that had meant a lot to her, so naturally to thank him later she had to talk to him and one thing led to another and they started to date, her studies started to lower and she started to care less an she was focusing on him, he almost told her a big secret but then he said he couldn't do it. Eventually he left on holidays, so he told her but little did he know, was that my mother was pregnant with me and my twin brother. Finally after a few weeks he was back from holidays and that was when my mom told my dad about me, thinking there was only one, my father took a day of not talking to her but finally said something about who he really was to my mother, how he was the god of the sea and how he couldn't stay with her and the child he was about to have with her, he told her he was very sorry but he helped her as much as he could with doing so little. He also told my mom about the academy I'd have to go to eventually once I got older.
So flash forward to later, I was born and so was my twin brother but unfortunately he never made it out of the hospital, it was the saddest thing ever imaginable for my mother but she still had me, her beautiful Bailey, as she'd put it. We grew close together, she worked to provide for me and feed me and keep me under one roof. We lived in a small seaside house. I learned to swim and eventually surf at a young as, around the age of four. At the age of five however was the age I saw my dad for the first time. Although it was hard to recall, I just remembered her face and knew he was my father, I had part of his eyes and it was just destined to be. I never had much of a rough life as in regards with no parents, I had my mother and she was the most down to earth person ever, she was my best friend who I told everything to and she's just part of the reason I loved my childhood, not to mention she was a cool mom, and very supportive of the things I wanted to do.
It wasn't until I was ten that my mother had told me about the stories of her and my father and soon enough a year later she explained to me what demigods were and she talked about the gods. She eased the idea of it all into my head and made the connections easier to spot out and finally I got it, she taught me as much as she knew based from what she was told. I was rather well educated on most of it. Although the day I found out about some of my powers was a rather interesting day altogether.
I was around the ripe age of fourteen, I had been swimming in the water with some friends, when one of them dropped something of importance down into the water and I decided to try and grab it since I was a strong swimmer and I could open my eyes under the water. I soon realized I should have gone up for air but it never seemed like I needed to breather in or anything an it was peaceful in the water. Soon enough I retrieved it for her, later on that day while surfing something came up and grabbed my friend, Molly and started to leave marks on her, I had to go check it out and it appeared to be a monster of some sort, and nothing was going to attack any of my friends. I blasted it away and picked my friend up. I created a small tidal wave to carry us back to shore and soon enough sat in the water with Molly. I then started to heal her wounds. Things started to get more and more complicated and dangerous and I told my mother.
We spent one last week in Maine before we packed up and decided to move. She wanted to be close by so she wouldn't be far away, she had been saving up since the day I was born to do this and for that I couldn't be any happier with my mom, of course the journey was long and dangerous but we made it to where we wanted to be. We settled down and eventually the end of August before I turned fifteen was when I enrolled in the academy and I have been there ever since. It's been pretty decent, I met some people who were nice friends, I'd flirted with a few guys but once in awhile I go and visit my mom, so my life has changed but I think it's been a fairly nice change for once.
Anything else? I have a silver locket that was given to me from my mother, who had it from my father, when opened I can smell the ocean and hear it, and I love it. It soothes me a lot. YEARS: She's been at the academy for 2 years.
