w e i g h t x // x120 lbs
h a i r x // xWith coarse black hair that shifts to brunette in the sunlight, Ani clearly favours her father when it comes to her hair type. Often leaving her chest length mess of hair to do as it pleases, Ani will simply brush it in the mornings and leave it alone. On occasion Ani has been known to tie her hair into particularly messy ponytails, although this is mostly just when she is training or in combat.
e y e s x // xAni has almond shaped eyes, so deeply brown that they look black. The distinctively Hawaiian shape and colour that is somewhat off putting in it's intensity, sets them apart from most other bland brown eyes.
o d d i t i e s x // xWhile she certainly wouldn't call them an oddity, Ani's face is marred with a multitude of freckles, as well as some slightly larger and darker beauty marks. Freckles aren't common where she is from, so many people at home often commented on how odd it was for Ani to have obtained them. She believes they are from her mother - or at least the beauty marks must be.
a p p e a r a n c e x // xBeing the daughter of Aphrodite, it's no surprise that Ani would be exceptionally beautiful. However, what was not expected was the kind of beauty the child would possess. While she isn't your average blonde haired, blue eyed, model height woman, Ani has a very different beauty, entirely unique to herself. Her skin is sunkissed in a way that it almost seems to glow, and she is always ready with a smile that can make even the gloomiest of people crack one back. Her style is simple, but complimentary. Often choosing colours that work well with her complexion, even when she doesn't try too hard, Ani is always well put together. Ani has a beauty that makes people stop and look. Just for a moment.

c u p i dx // x Ani may have little strength when it comes to people's desires,
but she does have some capabilities when it comes to love. Particularly through her singing, which has earned her the nickname 'siren'.
a p p e a r a n c ex m o r p h i n gx // x Ani is exceptionally adept at morphing her appearance, and it is by far her strongest ability. However, it takes a lot of energy and concentration for her to morph, therefore she is exhausted easily.
s e x u a lxd e s i r ex // x Suprisingly, Ani is not an incredibly sexual being, unlike her mother. She has little strength when it comes to manipulating someone's desire for her, or anyone. This is something she doesn't really mind though.

g o l d e nxv o i c ex // x Ani's voice is soft and wispy, but nevertheless beautiful when she is singing.
m u l t i l i n g u a lx // x Able to speak all the languages of love, Ani favours Italian as she feels it rolls of the tongue wonderfully.

v a n i t yx // x With beauty comes hubris and Ani is no exception. She cares just a little bit too much about her appearance, which is ironic because her hair, in particular, is always a perfect mess.
f i c k l ex // x Ani is a passionate soul, but certainly not a loyal one. At least not when it comes to lovers. Ani's attention drifts constantly and it's nearly impossible to keep her attention for long periods of time.
d e l i c a t ex // x Unfortunately for Ani, she was not built to be a warrior. As she always says, she's a lover not a fighter. Ani's soft skin bruises like a peach and in hand-to-hand combat she is sure to lose.

r e j e c t i o nx // x Being the daughter of the Goddess of Love, Ani isn't used to having her advances rejected. Whenever she is, Ani has a hard time dealing with it and honestly, doesn't know what to do. However, what she truly fears is finding the one person she truly loves with all her heart, and having them reject her.
d i s a p p o i n t m e n tx // x While many may not see the ultra sensitive side of Ani, she is - in fact - incredibly fragile emotionally. The thought of disappointing those that she loves frightens Ani.
w a rx // x As Ani is awful at hand-to-hand combat, it seems fitting that she'd be terrified at the thought of having to actually fight someone. War scares her not only because she can't stand the thought of losing a loved one, but Ani is also afraid of death herself.

Now, it's not like Ani goes around crying constantly if someone doesn't like the way her hair looks, but even things as simple as other peoples emotions are strong enough to influence Ani's. For example, if someone around her is sad, she feels that emotion so strongly that it almost passes on to her and then she will become saddened. Ani feels things very intensely, so it really should be no surprise that she'd be such a delicate soul.
Ani is far more like her mother in the sense that she has a huge heart. Ani loves very easily, and very quickly, which is not necessarily a good thing. This opens the young girl up to a lot of manipulation and some people take such great advantage of this, that Ani has learnt not to trust people too easily, even those she has a deep love for. However Ani has a lot of time for those she deems trustworthy and she places all her faith in them, the betrayal of someone Ani trusts would quite possibly be the biggest blow she could be dealt.
Passion runs through the veins of all of Aphrodite's children, and Ani is no exception. Anything she does, she does with so much passion that it can - at times - be overwhelming. When Ani talks about something she loves, there's this bubble of excitement that grows and grows inside her and makes it hard for the person she's talking to not to fall in love. Unfortunately, Ani hasn't learnt how to fully control her 'cupid' power, meaning that some of this could be due to the fact she is using her abilities - unbeknownst to her.
Fickleness is perhaps Ani's worst trait. It's hard to keep the girls attention for long because her eyes wander and her mind drifts to other plains. Sometimes people comment on how they're surprised she's not Hypnos' daughter by the way her mind always seems to be elsewhere, almost like she's in a dream. When it comes to lovers, Ani does not do commitment. Partially because she's scared, although that's something the girl would never admit. She doesn't see the point in monogamy when there are so many beautiful people in this world. The amount of attention Ani gets, however, doesn't help with her mounting vanity. She doesn't stop to constantly stare at her reflection, but it's obvious the girl definitely cares a lot about her appearance.

Having arrived with nothing but a name, Kalani - meaning 'the heavens'. The staff would come to find that there was not a more fitting name for the little girl. She was a gift from the heavens, however what they didn't realise was quite how literal the name was.
As Ani continued to grow, she became increasingly more and more interested in her family. Above her little rickety framed bed hung a drawing of a beautiful woman Ani had seen in a dream and was convinced it was her mother. This woman began frequenting her dreams and while she would say nothing to the little girl, Ani felt such a strong connection that she had to be the woman who gave Ani up at birth. Nana became increasingly more concerned about Ani's obsession with this figment of a woman and tried to steer her toward hobbies that could consume her time rather than giving her hours to think about her parents. This was where Ani found her passion of singing.
After try and failing with countless instruments, Ani finally found that her voice was the best instrument of all. It caught people's attention like nothing ever had, and other children in the orphanage would come to Ani, asking her to sing them a lullaby as they drifted off to sleep.
During her seventeenth year at the orphanage, Ani would fall in love. He was tall and handsome, working just outside at a small flower stall, Ani would watch the man from her window as he sold husbands 'forgive me' bouquets and new lovers the sweetest red roses. Ani's obsession changed from her dream mother to this new, mysterious flower seller. Flowers quickly became Ani's favourite thing and she would fill up her room with roses, sunflowers and Hawaii's national flower - the hibiscus. Frequenting his stall in the hopes that one day he would stop and ask her just why she needed so many flowers.
For months, that day never came, until Hawaii was entering winter - which really was no winter at all, the breeze still held a warm current and the sky was still a bright blue. Ani sat on the steps that led out from the orphanage, singing to herself as she often did. Hearing this, the man suddenly felt the urge to find out who that beautiful voice belonged to. Following all the way to Ani's feet, he smiled at her; the first time he'd ever even properly acknowledged Ani. She felt her heart melt at that toothy grin, I love this man! Was all she could think. Days passed by and the pair spent all their time together, Ani would sing to him and he would fall just that little bit more in love. She thought that he just loved her voice, what Ani didn't realise was that he loved her because her voice was making him. As soon as she stopped singing, he would stiffen a little, almost as if he had fallen out of a trance.
Days turned into months and as Ani neared her eighteenth birthday, she knew that she would have to find a place to live outside of the orphanages walls, but she was frightened, she'd lived in the same little room all her life and couldn't stand the thought of leaving - especially because she'd have to leave Nana. The woman was old and frail by now, and Ani feared that leaving would break Nana's heart beyond repair. But what could she do? Ani had to leave; she was too old to stay. It was then the best idea struck her, Ani quickly ran to her lover, asking him to move to a new home with her, where they could look after her sickly Nana and live together happily.
He rejected her. Ani was confused, what had she done? They seemed so in love before and now, he didn't want anything to do with her. He told her she was a witch, an evil witch who had put him under her spell for too long. Heartbroken that the man she loved had rejected her so harshly, she packed up her belongings and left. Not wanting to stay in this awful place any longer. Ani left her friends, her ex-lover and even Nana behind her as she went. Leaving the elderly lady with only a promise of her return and a kiss on the forehead before she vanished.
Lost and broken hearted, Ani had no clear plan on where she was even going. The girl walked for hours until exhaustion washed over her, finding refuge in a small bed and breakfast, Ani payed the owners the little money she had saved to keep her there for a few nights. However, on the first night of her stay, as Ani drifted off to sleep, she was once again greeted by that face she had seen so long ago. There was a place, her mother told her, where she could go and be with people like herself. What was she? Ani asked the figment. A Demigod.
Resolving to find this place her mother had told her about, and perhaps even see Aphrodite in person for once; Ani used her newfound abilities and a little extra money to make her way to Camp Athens.
