ยง . e y e s . hazel; fluctuates between dark blue and yellowish-green, and pure black
ยง . h a i r . black, waist length akin to her mother
ยง . h e i g h t . 5' 6"
ยง . w e i g h t . 127 lbs.
ยง . p h y s i q u e . slender, feminine build
ยง . s k i n . between pallid and very tentatively sun-kissed
ยง . s c a r s . none of note
ยง . d e s c r i p t i o n . Colette is not unlike her mother; a graceful beauty with hair that tumbles in gentle waves to her waist. She retains a fairly pallid skin tone with random notes of freckles here and there. While short and petite, she has a shapely feminine figure guarded beneath conservative attire. Her eyes are typically a deep blue color, but they seem to fluctuate to a shade of hazel with a speckle of green. However, her negative emotions show themselves through their abyssal darkening, and they assume an impossibly black shade consistent with her parentage.
Colette has a rather timid and bashful kind of smile; one that, when her eyes reach one's face, there's always this soft blush of pink to her cheeks and a quick curve to her lips. It is almost as though she can't help but smile when someone notices her. She carries herself with a quiet disposition as if she didn't know how beautiful she truly is. She hides behind layers of clothes and doesn't try very hard to be appealing. Yet, she's a natural that doesn't require too much maintenance.
She'll put on makeup and do her hair, but it's always the same dark cat-eye and soft rosy lips. There is not much deviation to her appearance, and she's a simple woman that doesn't need much help. She's certain that no one actually notices her enough to put a ton is effort into her looks. Luckily for her, she's blessed by being Nyx's spawn, and the goddess was renown for intense beauty.

ยง . d e m e a n o r . quiet, distant, timid
ยง . f e a r s . flying, eternal loneliness, that she might go unnoticed forever
ยง . v i c e ( s) . none of note
ยง . d i s l i k e s . bitchy women, early mornings, crowds, large social interactions
ยง . l i k e s . long midnight walks, cozying up to a good book, watching sunsets
ยง . f l a w s . timid, loner, emotional, misunderstood parent (nyx is often portrayed as villainous), secretive
ยง . m e r i t s . intelligent, observant, kind, loyal
ยง . i n t e l l i g e n c e . she's known for her vast knowledge of classic and diverse literature, and she seems to know a little bit about everything but not a master of any one thing in particular.
ยง . p e r s o n a l i t y . Often whispered to be a strange girl throughout life, Colette is a misunderstood soul with a quiet disposition but a kind warmth. To her distance observers, she is cold and aloof, bashful and secretive, so much so that she has been deemed to be untrustworthy and full of secrets. Her mysterious nature lies in the simple fact that she is hard to warm up to, as she gravitates more toward solitude than to social situations. However, for those that have been lucky enough to call Colette a friend, she is a peaceful midnight hour, a gentle lick of pale moonlight, and the sweet symphony of a calming evening. The night is not always so alarming and dangerous, and neither is Colette. She can converse for hours if given the right opportunity, and she's always full of smiles and joyous laughter.
Yet, much like her mother, her emotions are as intense as her kind charm. She can be jealous and spiteful to those that have more of a bright outlook on life. Letti wears her emotions on her sleeves, and that can be a dangerous thing. Hate comes easy to her, even if it is unjustified or just fashioned of jealousy or envy. She doesn't handle rejections well even if she expects them, and she definitely cannot take abandonment. Abandonment is the ultimate sin. It is very hard to calm her down or to earn her forgiveness if slighted. If she were honest with herself, she'd say that there has been no one in her life that she has forgiven yet.
Most of all, her mother taught her one lesson: fear no man. Even though her courage is fake, she will not be treated like dirt by anyone at any time and for any reason.

. shadow travel .. she can travel from shadow to shadow, and she has a lot of control over this. However, she can only do it for a short while.
. invisibility . this is another emotionally attached power. When she begins to feel afraid or embarrassed, or any other intense emotion that can trigger flight or fright, she can start to vanish. For the moment, she has no real control over this ability.
. notes . while she has known her powers all of her life, she has a lot of trouble detaching her emotional state from them. She has worked closely with her mother to manage these abilities, but it is not always possible. When her eyes begin to turn black, that means her powers are sommehow being triggered. Usually, this comes a few seconds before the actual ability is about to surface. It is a warning to those around her that the power of Nyx will soon be unleashed.

As Colette grew, she came to know her mother. Nyx is a highly maternal woman, and she cared deeply for all of her children. She was quite involved in their lives, as it should be. Letti's step-father took no issue with this, but he didn't know the truth of the woman's goddess status. To keep up the human notion of family and appearance, Nyx often used an abandoned cabin in a nearby mountain range to let her daughter stay with her for a day or two. At first, it was just to bond as mother and daughter. Nyx did not want her child estranged from her. The moonstone charm also served to help temper powers that might have surfaced as a young child with unstable emotions.
When Colette reached puberty, the moonstone could no longer contain her abilities. She had reached a point where she stayed in her room, skipped school, and even began to distance herself from friends. Letti couldn't control certain abilities - none of them, really. She'd find herself in one place one second, and then when she is frightened, at another place entirely. When she felt alone or sad, she would often dissipate from existence. Anger summoned shadowy tendrils that lashed and gnawed. But Nyx was there to help because she knew where the world was going. When Letti was 16, Nyx got permission from the dads to take the teenager to an academy nearby.
During the Academy, she had a hard time being around her peers. Given the misunderstood nature of her mother, she was not entirely welcomed. Especially by one of Zeus' children, of whom were not pleasant to her at all because of the deep fear Nyx invoked in Zeus himself. None of that seemed to bother her, though, as she was content to be alone. Letti took to the study of literature and mythologies of all types and seemed to enjoy the night more than the daytime. This helped her greatly to avoid the other Demigods.
When teh time came, Nyx summoned her from the Academy to go to Camp Argonaut. While Colette still had some problems with her abilities, she has, at the very least, learned to control her emotions enough to help.
