Name: Deitra Davis
Looks: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_WNbgAfGCoYY...
Deitra has dark hair hair that falls just beyond her shoulders and has dark eyes. Her skin is pale, and she is of average height.
Personality: **updated**
Now returning from the quest, Deitra has changed emotionally, though her secluded nature is the same. She will care for her siblings, though not at all in the 'kind' sort of way. She is serious in all she does, and has a strong hold over her 'magic.'
Age: 16
Other: Trained in healing

Name: Dylan Brenton Courtright
looks:

(Oh look. He actually did something with his hair!!)
Dylan has piercing green eyes that can warm your heart with one pleading look. His hair is a light shade of brown, and very moppy. His hair always gets into his eyes, which he can't stand. Unfortuanatly, he doesn't have the heart to cut it because he likes his long bangs. His hair is pretty short everywhere else, but it's shaggy and thick, a disaster in his eyes. He is muscular, which is thanks to all the weeding and working on plants outside. He has a tan from always bring in the sun.
personality: Dylan isn't much for fighting, but if someone messes with his sisters or close friends, he'll fight, and fight well. He's sweet, and innocent to most people, but can be amusing and adventerous when he wants to be. His emotions are strong, but he's not dramatic at all. In fact, he's rather strong-willed, but soft when it comes to plants or daughter of Ares, Andromeda. He can't stand to see people upset, or seeing plants wilting. In both cases, he will do what he can to help both of them. He's good with words, and even better at comforting people. Dylan doesn't see himself as much of a ladies' man, but there are actually a few girls in camp who moon over him when he's not aware.
other: Dylan is a vegetarian. He believes that you don't need meat to survive. And he doesn't want to harm natures creations. He doesn't really have one individual pet yet, but he loves all animals that cross his path. Dylan was a country boy who lived in the country part of New York State. He worked on a farm, and cared for horses, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, rabbits, he was an original country boy. The girls at his school mooned over him, though he never noticed then. His life was perfect, until he came home from his last day of school four years ago. What he found when he got home was a burnt down barn, a destroyed house, and what was left of his father's carcass, which wasn't much. After burying his father's remains, he left with no money, no home, and no idea where he was going. He lived as a hobo at age thirteen, and was found by his satyr in Mississippi. Without an explanation, they left for Rhode Island, monsters meeting them every once in a while. Once at camp half-blood, everything was explained to him, and he believed all of it. Now, he's as happy as a boy with his past can be. He still remembers his father, and has a picture of him on his bedside table. His own little memorial.
age: 17

Name: Cypress Haley

Looks: Tall, willowy stature and long brown hair. Hazel-green eyes and freckles compliment her small nose and thick lashes. She doesn't realize she is particularly beautiful, if in an herby sort of way. She is always followed by the faint scent of leaves and freshly mown grass.

Personality: Cypress loves nature and always has. She is friends with almost all of the dryads, and everyone seems to like her. She can't bear to see anyone in pain and keeps potted plants by her bedside. She, unlike other campers, doesn't really have any anger towards her mother for abandoning her. She's long gotten over that. Cypress is a bit overprotective of the cabin's pride, though, and tries to make her siblings as respected as she feels they should be, being children of an Olympian goddess.

Age: 18

Other: She is the Demeter Cabin counselor. Her powers are pretty strong for a daughter of Demeter, but she is especially good at controlling it.

Name: Sarah Burks
Gender: F
Age: 15
Species: Half-Blood
Personality: Sarah is very shy and loathes being the odd one out. Many think she's socially challenged, but that's only because she doesn't want to offend anyone. Once you get to know Sarah, she's very funloving and smart. Her quick brain has helped her as she avoids fights and makes friends. She hardly talks, but her eyes can tell you everything there is to know.
Looks: She is tall and thin with flowing blonde hair and brilliant green eyes.

Weapon: Almost never fights. The only weapon she would be seen wearing is a bow and arrow. This is so she won't have to see the pain she is inflicting upon the enemy, no matter how cruel.
Parents: Demeter (mother), David (father)
Other: Her love of nature may make her an icon for teasing, but she could restore any plant from wilting to a beautifully blossoming plant. This makes her popular among the nymphs, who she normally hangs out with. She also is a gifted healer for someone not born of Apollo. She knows all the plants needed for healing.
She came to Half-Blood Camp when a monster (she's not sure which) disgused as a bully knocked her against a wall, breaking her leg. Her father tried to fix it, but it has always been a bit crooked. Her father is sweet and kind, but doesn't know how to deal with a half-blood.

Name: Freesia Thompson
Gender: Female
Age: 14
God Parent: Demeter
Appearence: Chocolate brown hair near lenght to her elbows, green eyes, cream colored skin.



Personality: Silent, inspired, protective, brave. Skilled at drawing plants and landscapes.

Name: Iviana "Ivi/Ivy" Hedna

Gender: F

Age: 16

Looks: Iviana has light skin. Her eyes are a solemn forest green. She is of average hight. Iviana has waist-length, woody-brown hair.
http://www.sxc.hu/pic/m/s/sh/shine4hi...

Personality: Since her time at camp, Iviana has grown to be a little more open with strangers, and smiles a bit more often. She is sympathetic to her friends and... half-family.

Other: Yes, yes, she's the character that was going to replace Deitra blah blah blah. She's also a recycled charrie, so blahhhhh. Again. For the sake of understanding, either call her "Iviana" or "Ivy" to keep things less confusing...
She joined when she was eleven.
Has a growing aquaphobia

Daughter of Demeter

Name: Lily Jones
Age: 16
Appearance:
Loose, curly ringlets frame a round face which usually is caught in wonder and mischief. Honey brown layers intwine with rich raven locks. Midnight blue eyes squint with her ear-to-ear smiles. Touches of pink brush across her lightly yellow-tanned complexion. Her slight busty bosom lends the appearance of a smaller waist; Lily is the shape of a healthy modern young woman and is proud to flaunt her curves.

[image error] Lay me down in a bed of roses…

Personality:
Mischief's game keeps Lily at a constant pace, leaping from one thought to another and sometimes without any vocalized transition. Her hyperactivity leaves friends a bit confused unless they join in on her wild escapades. Laughter is prevalent with Lily for she prefers to keep her mood-dampening moments to herself. She's extremely private by nature about herself and has gone to great lengths to find her own little hollow in the woods to deal with problems. Friends would like to help Lily and feel sometimes she keeps them a bit TOO much at arm's length and yet she includes them with her loving pranks.

Unlike the famous pranks by the Hermes children, Lily prefers to keep her pranking on the small scale such as spiders in the pillowcase, crickets in the bathroom and peanut butter in tennis shoes. They're meant for a brief laugh but not to be malicious. No one is certain if Lily has the means to pull off an epic prank but a child of Demeter may have a few extra tricks up her sleeve.

Candy. Lots and lots of candy. Lily has secret stashes all over the camp and it's become an annual tradition before summer ends for all campers to HUNT and FIND her stashes. (Easter Egg Hunt!) Her sugar addiction adds to her hyperactivity.

History:
Demeter abandoned Lily in the dead of winter; the tiny wailing babe was given to her father, a world traveling photographer. Her pale skin glistened in the snow with a touch of chocolate-raspberry about her eyes. He compared her to the flowers he was photographing - Chinese Lilies (lilium leucanthum). And so, she was named Lily.

Together, the father and daughter duo traveled the world to seek out rare flora and fauna. Dig sites for fossilized discoveries became her schoolhouse. Lily was oblivious to the regular suburban life of a modern teenager.

That was right up to when her father took a terribly tumble at the ruins in Crete. He swore that he heard a mystical song and became lost in a trance. Lily, worried for her hospitalized father, dared to explore those same ruins and met with a Minotaur. Demeter stepped in by calling for the dryads; they, in turn, called upon Lily to use her powers to enliven them. A perplexed Lily reacted spontaneously -- with the OMG shock n' awe. The dryads grew to gigantic trees and roots rose from the ground to grapple the Minotaur. Needless to say, Lily was able to flee to safety and then was whisked away to Camp Half-Blood.

Lily never was told of Demeter's influence and is under the continued impression that her Goddess mother abandoned her due to being a child of winter.

Weapon:
Lily never was a true offensive warrior and prefers take defense. For this role, she usually is given the task of protecting the flag. She has had her fair share of receiving terrible knocks but gets right back up without complaint. Feeling a connection with the earth and trees, she chose a basic wood staff and has etched special glyphs that when activated, helps focus her demigod powers. Compare this to gypsies using a crystal ball to help focus with scrying

She moves quietly, able to have the ground absorb the sound of her footsteps. This has given her a ninja-like walk but hasn't granted her the grace and deadliness of a fully-trained martial artist. Secretly, she wishes Jasmine would accept her as a student so Lily wouldn't trip over roots as often during combat.

Lemme stick it to ya!

Other:
Demeter's influence into Lily's life is shown by her natural affinity toward the care of flora. But unlike her brothers and sisters, Lily works best with the lesser known plants that people typically dismiss - cactus, venus fly trap, poisonous plants, weeds.

Toxicology and alchemy for eastern medicines were taught to her at a young age. Her father, Lee, would explain the history and uses of every plant he photographed. This has been an asset on the battlefield when coming to people's aid.

She has used her powers with plants to provide herself with defensive measures. For example, roots grappling the Minotaur or a leaf storm to temporarily blind an attacker's vision so she could escape. Lily doesn't like to completely rely on her powers and would rather fight with her staff first.

Name: Kelsey Chanél Lacy
Age: 13



Personality:
Kelsey is a fun-loving girl that loves nature. She would put herself in harms way to protect it. She isn't exactly a typical Demeter girl, either. She loves to hang out with her friends, shop and party. But make sure flowers are there!

Other: She lives with her father and step mom when she goes home. She also has a sister that is three years old. She has a dog named Brownie Sundae, and wishes she could bring her to camp. But, the person she misses most is Jack, her boyfriend, who doesn't know anything about the demi-god situation. It hurted her to lie to him about the camp, but it wa nessicary.

Name: Korra Bradley


Looks: http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:AN...
((she doesn't have a cat though...))

Meera is a shy girl that likes to express herself without making herself be too noticeable. Her favorite colors are lilac and baby pink.


Personality: She is shy, but loves to express herself in minor ways. She prefers to listen instead of talking. She loves to paint and draw, especially nature scenes. She has stage fright, but she's workin' on that! Also, she is good with a dagger and light on her feet.She was constantly bullied at the school and at the Orphan House, so she has bruises along her arms. That's why she mostly wears long-sleeve shirts.

Age: 15


Other: Her father died in a car accident when she was three, so she's practically an orphan. This is why she is shy.

She has powers over small plants but her powers are slowly growing. She doesn't want to show it to anyone. She loves to read too. She hopes one day to be a singer and an artist. (she made that plan before she was claimed!)

((i don't think i need to add anything))

Name: Adana "Addy" Grindly

Age: 15

Appearance: Addy has thick, luxurious, light brown curls that lie gently on her shoulders. She has a pair of rich, chocolate eyes that glimmer whenever she is outside and long, thick eyelashes. Although her nose is small and rounded at the tip, her mouth is large and puffy but it seems to fit perfectly with her face.
She has no blemishes or freckles on any part of her body and is very pale, like the color of sand on a beach in Hawaii. She is thin; thin enough that the edges of her ribcage pokes out, which accents her bust nicely. Her legs are extremely long, which gives her whole look a welcoming appearance.

[image error]

Personality: Addy is all around a nice girl, inside and out and she's devoted her life to herbalism. Although she is kind and never shows any kind of cruelty or mockery on the outside when someone hurts her feelings, when someone harms a plant or a creature of the Earth, she tends to get real nasty and even violent.

Throughout all of her life, Addy has learned that if she doesn't have anything nice to say, she shouldn't say anything at all - which has saved her a lot of trouble. But, it has also deprived her of many great opportunities. Since she is always alone, she has never had any real friends but plants and creatures, and it sometimes leaves her very sad and makes her feel all alone in the world.

Other:
----------
History: Although Abby has always thought that her mother loved her very much, she can't be sure. When she was born, instead of giving Abby to her father, Demeter left her wrapped in a cotton cloth in a grove of flowers. By afternoon the next day, a woman and her family had come to the same grove for a picnic and had taken her under their wings. Well, the mother had. The other 4 brothers and father weren't that fond of her, but because they loved their mother/wife so much, they learned to deal with Abby.
But, once her adopted mother died from an unknown cause, Abby was ignored entirely, except for being fed. So, she had to learn to take care of herself, which has forced her to become mature at a very early age but her maturity has lost her a lot of potential friends. She's always been alone and has only had her plants to keep her company.

Weapon: Abby really doesn't like getting into fights, but when she does, she usually takes the defense. Unless someone has really make her mad, and then she takes the offense. Her weapon of choice is daggers, as she has always found them to be around. But, if there are no daggers around, she has the ability to turn any plant into a weapon. She is more likely to plant an effective attack with her plants than with her daggers because of her mother.
She is also very agile and quiet because when she was young, she had to sneak out from her room on the 3rd story of her house and not be heard in order to tend to her secret garden.

Name: Keri Germaine Fredrickson
Age: 17
Gender: Female

Personality: Keri doesn't talk much, but when she does, it can be full of profanities. She isn't a hard worker, but she isn't a slacker. She tends to over think things and takes her time making small decisions. Every bit of work she does is big scale, so she doesn't have to come back to do it again. She loves working outside and spends most of her time alone or in a garden.
Appearance: Keri is that person who seems unaproachable at first glance, but is really just a big softie. She has high set cheekbones, plump pink lips, and deeply tanned skin. Her hips are wide and she has a large chest. If she ever wore her hair down, it would reach below her waist. She prefers to keep it in a shark fin, with purple and blue streacks in hair black hair. She has a number of tattoos and piercings. Her eyes are of rather unusual coloring. Her left looks as though someone captured the sunset and placed it there; the right holding a vast starry night in its grasp. She lets some of her hair fall down to cover her eyes.

Name: Deleteriaus "Dele" Grindly

Age: 12

Gender: Male

Appearance: http://i196.photobucket.com/albums/aa...

Personality: Dele is shy, nice, and very to himself. He likes to be alone, except when he is with his sister, Addy. She is very calming to him, and cheers him up when he is down. Long ago, Dele was very sick. Nobody knew what was wrong with him, and he almost died. But something happened. A miracle. But, after getting this miracle, he lost his ability to see, making him not be able to get around without his sister, Addy. For this reason, he loves her very much, and would do anything for her.

He has adapted to being blind. He can sense things with his feet. Where people are, what people are doing, who people are, it is an uncanny, super-power. The problem with this is that when someone jumps and attacks him, all he knows is where they were before, and then where they landed. This is an advantage and a disadvantage. Also, since he was in the hospital with many sick people he became friends with, he is very *hesitant to hurt people.* He can only defend himself.

History: He didn't know Addy untill they were united when they met at Camp-Half Blood.

Name:Skye Matthews
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance:Skye has caramel colored straight blonde hair that is usually tied in a messy knot. She has evergreen colored eyes that have flecks of gold in them that are only visible when you are close up. She doesn't smile often, but when she does it brightens her tanned face. Her lips are usually cracked because when she has trouble figuring something out she bites them. She has a small waist and an average size chest which goes nicely with her height of 5'10. http://cdn.pimpmyspace.org/media/pms/...

History:Skye grew up with her mountain climbing father until he took her up on her first climb in Montana. He fell from the top of the mountain and she was left alone at the age of 8. On the mountain she learned to fight off the monsters and wild beasts that kept attacking her. She allied herself with a lone wolf(whom she called Scream) and together they survived until a satyr came to get her when she was 12. Scream lives in the forest and follows her around camp sometimes. She does not consider him a pet just a friend.

Personality: She didn't know a lot of English when she first came to Camp Half-Blood but learned by listening to the other campers. Because of this most people thought she was quiet but she is talkative at time and isn't afraid to speak her mind. Although she doesn't mind small plants and flowers she prefers big plants and forests. Skye can take it when people talk trash about her but when it comes to her brothers and sisters she is very protective because they are the only family she has.

Weapon: Skye enjoys fighting a little more than her siblings though far less than those of the ares cabin.
She always has a dagger or knife on her usually more than one. On all her daggers and knives are the initials S and M, these weapons are stashed every where, under her pillow, in a boot, in her sleeve, really anywhere she can think of. What Skye lacks in size and musculature she makes up for with agility and speed.

Other: She prefers climbing on top of high things and making her way from on top of them(i.e. climbing to high branches and jumping to other ones or climbing to the roof of a building and jumping to on near by) rather than walk.
Skye usually controls her anger but if you harm nature or one of her friends she will unleash it on you.
She enjoys most physical activities, except for canoeing because when she floats on the water her power over trees is useless.
(power over trees refers to the fact that she is better at making trees grow than small plants :P)

A few problems:

Firstly, if she was eight when she was abandoned, she wouldn't not know English, unless you're implying she speaks Spanish or something?

Second, the wolf bit is a tad unbelievable. I'm asking for more background on just who the wolf is before I approve. If he's a lone wolf, maybe he's a magical wolf and so took her in, but she shouldn't have been able to defend herself if she was eight. Alternative point--maybe she met the wolf and the satyr at the same time? That would make more sense, though you may take it either way.

Name: Adara Alexander
Age:16
Gender:Female
Appearance: Adara has big round grey-blue eyes that appear just slightly flat and lifeless, full pink lips, a very pale complexion with millions of freckles.
She is 5'11, and her frame is very slender and frail. She has long arms and legs, with graceful long fingers. Her hair is an auburn color; it is a dark red, but in the sunlight gold glints off multiple strands. Adara's hair is just above boob-length, and is really thick and is not exactly straight; it is more relaxed.

Personality: Adara is shy around people she doesn't know well, and has trouble trusting people. She can be the life of anything, and smiles, laughs and makes jokes to hide the insecurities and her true feelings. Her big eyes see everything, from the smallest detail, to the twitch of someone lying.
She is very protective and maternal of friends because she used to have a younger brother and sister. Adara attracts people's attention, and even though she is never one to start a conversation, people often talk to her because she has "that face" that people open up too.
She loves animals and feels better when she is alone and not having to put on her "mask" for other people. Even though she would never kill any living thing, bugs freak her out and she hopes never to touch one.

History: Several months ago, Adara, her brother, her sister, and their aunt (whom they lived with) were having a cookout with their new fire pit on their back patio.
Her aunt said she was going to the store to get hot dogs and marshmallows and asked Adara to help. Adara said of course and stood up to leave. She ruffled her sisters hair as she passed, and and her sister whined in protest. A small smile found its frequent stay on her lips. As she reached the door, she turned back. "Hey, no crazy parties," Adara said sternly, but the light in her eyes told the joke. Her brother looked up with an over-exaggerated puppy dog expression. Adara turned back toward the door, and heard her brother stage whispering. She quickly turned back around, and he threw a phone down behind him. Adara laughed, her eyes bright, her cheeks flushed, but as she looked at them laughing, she felt something in her chest, something bad.
She ignored it, called out "Be right back!" and closed the door. Twenty minutes later, Adara's aunt pulled up to a house on fire. "NO!" Adara screamed and shoved out of the car and ran toward the house. She grasped the front door handle, but it was locked. Her brain was too muddled to wonder why. She furiously pounded on the door, calling out to her brother and sister. "HELP!" she yelled to her aunt, but when she turned around, the driver's door was open and her aunt was no where to be seen. "SOMEONE HELP ME!!" Adara wailed. She ran around the house to the gate and swung it open and ran to where the fire pit was blazing.
Looking around, she saw her sister's jacket, her brother's gadgets, but they were no where to be seen. Adara sprinted to the back door, but, this too, was locked. She screamed their names and pounded on the door until seconds or minutes or hours or days later when a firefighter pulled her away.
They wrapped her in blankets, gave her water, fed her, but nothing returned the light to her eyes. Because she had no other family, they kept her at a hospital until a satyr-in-disguise took her.

Other: She has told no one what happened, and always acts happy to cover it up.

Break up the paragraphs to start, its hard to read.
