    Name: Christina Ray
    Age: 15
    Gender: Female
    Eyes: Blue
    Hair: Straight and Blonde
    Height: 5'4
    Body Type: Lean
    Skin Color: Tan
    God Parent: Apollo
    Mortal Parent: Christina's mom is a middle school music teacher. Her name is Margaret Ray.
    Country of Origin: the United States of America
    Pets: none
    Talents: Christina plays a lot of instuments, writes poetry, sings, dances, and excels in archery.
    Weapon: Celestial Bronze Dagger.
    Personality: Christina has an artsy creative personality. She is always dancing around to Michael Jackson or writing poetry in her notebook. She is fun to be around and is usually in a happy sunny mood. When presented with a problem, she laughs it off and goes with the flow to see what solution the world will give her. She is carefree and flings herself into any adventure she can find.
    Flaws: Christina Ray has one leg longer than the other by an inch (her left leg is longer), but it doesn't slow her down. She has a special removable insole she always puts in her right shoe so her legs feel the same. She is very gullible. She also has a tendency to  put off a problem she is faced with. She suffers from insomnia (born with it), and was she does finally fall asleep, she talks vividly in her sleep, and has been told she is funnier when she is sleeping than when she is awake.
    Abilities: Can learn how to play any instrument very well, but it takes a few weeks with a decent amount of practice.
    Powers: None
    Life Before Camp: Christina had a pretty normal life compared to other half-bloods. She and her mom lived in sunny Southern California. Growing up, her mom made sure music was in her life, and signed her up for ballet lessons also. Christina took extremely well to it, and could pick up any instrument and play better than the rest of her music class. AShe had plenty of friends at school but was teased a little bit because her mom was the music teacher at her middle school. When she was 14 years old she made friends with the school satyr, and the satyr came to her house and explained to her mom about camp. He knew she was the daughter of some sort of music god, but didn't know it was Apollo until she was claimed at camp. After reasoning with her mom for a few weeks whenever the satyr came over to "study with Christina," her mom finally realized how much sense Christina being a daughter of some sort of musical god made. Her mom thought it would be a great idea for Christina to spend her summers there, and suggested that for the first year she stay there year round to get more familiar with the camp. After her current school year ended, by now she had turned 15, she flew (on a plane) with the satyr to camp half blood. On the way from the airport to camp they were attacked by a hell hound, but they managed to get away after hiring a taxi and telling the driver if he got them to a random hill near camp in 15 minutes (30 minutes away) they would pay him extra. Christina was claimed by Apollo a few days after she arrived at camp.
    RP Example: As Christina walked into the music room, she was thrilled by all the instruments. She wanted to play them all! After pondering what to play first, she finally sat down with a saxophone and began to play improvised jazz. The daughter of Apollo moved her long straight blonde hair out of her face as she closed her blue eyes and started to get into her music. After playing like this for a few minutes, Christina finally decided to put her instrument away and go meet some people, being new; however, she couldn't find the saxophone case anywhere! Figuring it would turn up eventually, Christina took this as a reason to play the saxophone for a few more minutes. Then she would find the case. Unless she forgot that is.
    Notes: None

    Playing any kind of instrument would probably be going too far -- you can say she can learn to play them fast (as in not within 5 minutes like you claim in her LBC), but not that. (I feel like this is an ability rather than a talent, too.)

    Flaws:
    - How much longer is her right leg compared to her left?
    - ADHD isn't a flaw. It's a standard demigod trait unless you're saying hers is more extreme than normal.
    - I don't really see how getting calluses from playing her instruments is a flaw? Anyone can get them. Add another.

    Life Before Camp:
    - How long did it take for the satyr to convince her mom that Christina was a demigod?

    For her ability, try several weeks (like 5 or more with decently long practices). 15 minutes is way too fast.

    Flaws:
    - To compensate or try to alleviate the difference in leg lengths, what does she do? Use some sort of shoe insert? Has she seen a doctor about this?
    - Her nose being big wouldn't be considered a flaw unless she's insecure about it.
    - How bad is her insomnia? When did it begin?

    LBC:
    - How did the satyr know she was a daughter of Apollo and not, say, the child of some other music-related god?
    - Why did they wait so long to get her to camp instead of instantly going? I'm pretty sure by the age of 13 her scent would have been detectable by monsters, and being with a satyr would probably attract said undesirable attention. It would probably endanger her to keep her from camp for very long.

    Could I make the instrument thing a power?

    You probably could, but it'd have to be creatively made (I don't think I've seen a form before, whether as an approver or just browsing, with instrument learning as a power, but that may just be me) and limited appropriately of course xD

    Honestly, the way you've phrased the "power" makes it come off more as an ability. I'm not sure it could turn into a power unless you do something like "she can play any instrument she doesn't know how to play for x posts with a cool-down of y posts but will be unable to do so without any practice/learning the basics afterwards." And even then, that's sort of an awkward power. I'd suggest you keep it as an ability. (Learning how to do anything in the span of minutes is not allowed. It must be over the span of weeks.)

    One last thing. Is the taxi to get them to camp in the history the Chariot of Dalmation? I don't think any normal taxi driver would know the location of camp.
