Name: Saphira
Age: 13
Gender: Girl
Eyes: Dark blue
Hair: Short and brown
Height: 5' 4"
Body Type: Uh, human...
Skin Color: Pale-ish, but less so than REALLY pale people
God Parent: Ran (Norse goddess of theft, the sea, and death AT sea)
Mortal Parent: Her dad! (Shall remain anonymous)
Country of Origin: England
Pets: Nooooo
Talents: She's good at using her powers, swimming, and catching people in nets (hahahaha)
Skills: Stealing stuff! She's not as good at it as Hermes kids, but who cares?
Weapon: A short sword that just dissappears when not needed
Flaws: Using her powers a lot drains her, she's emotionally cold and distant, and gets way too competitive... and she's a bit of a complusive liar at times
Powers: Water! This power enables her to: move water around, breathe in water, but for some reason it doesn't do anything to heal her except boost her energy a bit... if she uses it too much, she can even die from energy loss. The limit of her power to move water is about the volume of two school buses at once... and if she does that all at once she passes out. (I really hope this counts as one power...)
Life Before CHB: Saphira went to Hogwarts and was best friends with Harry Potter.... no she didn't. That's a lie. Lying is what would always get her into trouble at her schools in England. "Why didn't you do your homework?" "A hydra ate it." "Hydras aren't real!!!" "No they aren't." And if someone accused her of lying when she was actually telling the truth, it went more like this: "There's a dragon outside." "No there isn't, you filthy little liar!" "...... GRAWR! *Water inside person explodes* :O OH MY GOSH!!!!!!" .... You get the idea.
She lived with her dad near the ocean. Saphira loved it when the ocean fog rolled in over the town, turning everything into a misty wonderland. One day when her dad was driving her to school, something ran headlong into the car, throwing it off the road. Saphira's dad knew it had to be some kind of monster that had finally come to get her. So they got out of the car and started running. They ran all the way to the ocean, which was when the monster caught up with them. It was a very very young hydra, with only two heads of the many it would grow. Saphira was shocked; she couldn't believe what was happening. When the hydra charged for the final strike, Saphira noticed something weird in the sand in front of her. On an ADHD impulse, she picked it up and threw it at the raging monster. It turned out the "something shiny" was a sword, and it struck the hydra through the heart- killing it. That day, Saphira's dad told her everything he had hidden from her all those years about her mom. (And Saphira decided to keep the sword XD)
RP Example: "I know it's hard to leave, but you have to go."
"I don't want to!" I protested. Why, WHY did I have to go to somewhere on the other side of the world? WHY!? Just because some stupid monster (now dead) decided to attack, my life was turned upside down. I'd always known there was just something weird about me... but seriously. To explain it with the 'fact' that my mom was Ran, a Norse goddess, seemed totally insane. Now we were in America, and my dad wanted me to get out of the car and go to some weird camp for people like me. NO. "It's for Greek people anyway, you said it yourself! They won't let me in!"
"Yes they will. Hurry, you have to go..."
"....... fine. I'll go. But I tell you, I'm not going to put up with this for long...."
My dad sighed. "Saphira... don't be difficult. Make some friends or something..."
I reluctantly got out of the car. "I'll miss you, dad."
"I'll miss you too."
I watched as the rented car drove away, leaving me here alone.
Any notes about your characters: Since she's Norse instead of Greek, she reads and understands old Norse insead of Greek stuff! (which comes in great for me, since Saphira was inspired by a dragon- and in that story, the language is actually just Old Norse with a few added words XD)
