"No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother. And I did."
Full Name: Vanessa-Rose Alma Tate
Nicknames: Ness
Age: Twenty-Two
Godly Parent: Nike
Birthdate: Fifteenth of January
Home Town: Benalmadena, Spain.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Likes: Chocolate-Banana milkshakes, the colour red, the freedom of running, being with her boyfriend and daughter, Elvis Presely, intimacy, talking to her father, water lillies, Christmas, a nice cup of tea and cats.
Dislikes: When her daughter is crying, heavy rock music, too strong smelling perfume or cologne, bad hair days, goats (one bit her), her iphone running out of battery when she's jogging, bees, when strangers start talking to her about Noelle and ask for a cuddle, china dolls and seafood.
Fears: Ness is afraid that she's going to loose her boyfriend and her daughter; that's the one thing that scares her more than anything. Nate is a promiscuous man, and she wonders if she'll ever really be able to call him his, even though she loves him so much. She's also worried about anything happening to her child. Anything. Ness is also terrified of hospitals. Doctors, and beeping machines.. no, she hates them. She barely survived giving birth in one as it was.
Personality: Ness is the-girl-next-door type. That girl that you wave to in the morning, or smile to walking down the corridors. She's always smiling, always happy, and always there for someone who needs her, or wants to talk, and has a love of athletics and running. When she's running, she feels free, and doesn't have a care in the world. Vanessa does have a wild streak, although, it's very rare that it rears it's head. When she's had a good day, or won something, or is in a bad mood, she has a confidence boost. If one her of her friends is upset or being threatened, she will be there to back them up - she's just more convincing on her one of her confidence boosts.
Only small changes have arisen in the girl since her baby was born; she's still the same girl that she had been before she ran away with Nate, but now, she has a bigger sense of the world, and the work that comes from living in it. She's not as naive and innocent as she was when she was at the camp, seeing as she ended up running away and sleeping with a teacher a few years ago, but she's still as sweet. She's also realized that she can get extremely jealous and protective around the two main people in her lives, and she doesn't want anything to hurt her little family.
History: Ness grew up an only child; just her and her father living in the small apartment. She doesn't have any brothers or sisters, and is highly grateful for that. Her father didn't have a very good job, so growing up was quite hard. Her home was small, most meals were quite small, and she didn't get the things that her friends did, like a new mobile phone for Christmas, or a games console to play on. However, she was a happy child, and thanked her father for everything that he gave her, and never whined about wanting everything else. Growing up like that has helped her to appreciate the smallest things in life, and this is how she sees life now. From a young age, she loved archery. She would make her own targets, and use a plastic bow and arrow to shoot. After years of saving, her father was able to buy her her own bow and arrow, a real one, and she used it not only for fun, but to also catch the occasional meal for the family table.
Vanessa found out that she was demi-goddess when she was extremely young, about nine. Her father had always been truthful with her, ever since she was young, and he didn't hide her heritage from her. So, he had told her when he though that she was old enough to understand. She had taken it surprisingly well, finding out that her mother was a goddess. After finding out, she did a lot of research on her mother, and everything else to do with Greek Mythology and it's fascinated her. Through her searching, she found Olympus Academy, and she pleaded with her father to let her go. He finally accepted after months of her asking.
Three years before Olympus, Ness was with a man, a Nathan Hensleigh, of course, her father was unhappy with their relationship because of the age difference between the two of them, and they stopped seeing each other. Upon arriving at the school, Ness found that Nate was her new history teacher, and the relationship between them sparked up again. She was unable to keep away from him, and he was unable to keep his hands off of her. Even though he cheated on her with her best friend, Ness was so in love with him that she forgave him in a heart beat, and the two ended up running away together. She finished up her schooling at a local school, and then studied to become a teacher at university. However, she didn't finish her course until a year later than she would have liked, as she became pregnant, and gave birth to the most beautiful little girl in the world.
Ness is extremely happy; she has the only man that she has ever loved finally telling her that he loves her too, a beautiful daughter that they have together, and she's going back to the place where it all started; Olympus Academy.
Anything else? She's allergic to soya, and peanuts, and she's very protective over her family.
