Mary was not usually taken with very superficial things, as a general rule. It's why lots of her half-siblings looked at her weird. Whereas most Aphrodite children were ultra-obsessed with their exterior looks, Mary worked more on how she was inside. She didn't want to be vain and shallow like her half-siblings, she wanted to have depth. Of course, this didn't mean she didn't care about her appearance. She was always impeccably dressed.
Now that there was an carnival, Mary wanted to dress up. She had planned an outfit as soon as she found out about the event, making sure everything was perfect.
Brushing off non-existent dust from her dress, she examined her appearance with a critical eye in her mirror. Her long, dark curls were tucked up into an intricate twist; her make-up was lightly but perfectly done. She straightened the ivory mask for the third time, before nodding determinedly at her reflection. As she exited her bunk, she patted her leg--her dagger was safely secured, it's sheath wrapped around her thigh. After all, she had to be prepared for anything, was what she always said. It was what had earned her the nickname 'Mary Poppins' among her cousins.
Stepping out into the fresh air, she felt the excitement of the other campers like a buzz against her bare skin.
