Brief Description: Nikki is a thin girl, but has strong muscles. Her long legs make it easy to run, and her slight figure helps that. Her skin is dark, and she is like a living shadow, the darkness come to life. Her presence always darkens a room, light wise not the feeling. She also has a hard time trusting people.
Background:
Mortal Parent(s): Leanna Kaayna (deceased)
Other Family:
Pets: A dark black pegasus (Onyx), and a dark black greyhound (shadow).
Brief History:
Leanna Kaayna was an Olympic gold medalist in gymnastics, and made 4th in the Olympic hundred meter dash. One day when she was sitting in the shade of an apple tree reading a book, a young man came to her, holding two bright red apples. Claiming to be the owner of the orchard she was reading in, and handed her an apple. He said he had recognized her from the news and wanted to congratulate her. He tossed Leanna an apple and sat next to her as he munched on the other apple.
Soon Leanna fell in love with the young man, though he warned her that he would end up hurting her in the end. After a few months, Leanna be came pregnant, and ended up giving birth to a baby girl, Nikki, and though Erebus was not suppose too, he stayed with his daughter and the mother for a year before he left. Erebus left his family on Nikki’s first birthday, saying he regretted leaving, but had to. Leanna was heartbroken, but she had expected it, and so cherished her daughter constantly. Unfortunately this didn’t last.
At the age of 5 Leanna came down with pneumonia and died a few days later. Having no immediate family she was sent to a foster home with 3 other children. The children DID NOT like her and problems arose. They would always cheat her out of things, how many candies she got when they all where suppose to get the same amount and things like that. She had no clue why they hated her, and so thought everyone in the world was like that. When she turned 8 she was still being picked on by her “siblings.” Nikki and her “siblings” where to stay there till they could handle the life at an orphanage, or could get adopted, and they couldn’t move to the orphanage till 10. Once when she got so angry, she had made the shadows move and quiver, one made that child stumble and fall by making a small bulge in walk way. She hadn’t known she’d done this, but the child immediately accused her of pushing. Nikki took her punishment like a soldier, but immediately crashed when she got to her room. While there Nikki’s only refuge was racing the neighborhood boys, and going to a free gymnastics class down the street.
After that day she was shipped from foster home to foster home until she was 10. Each time she encountered sour children who hated her, little did she know that each time one of them where monsters affecting the mood of the children. When she turned 11 she was adopted by a man, a business worker. He neglected the young Nikki and she ran away. While on the streets she met a young boy, who looked to be her age. They stayed together, trying to survive. One day she had a dream, it was her father talking to her, saying that he was proud of her and that she MUST trust the person she was traveling with. In return he gave her an Obsidian necklace lined with other black gems (she didn’t know it then but whenever she wore it her powers became a little stronger). After finally earning her trust, days before her 12th birthday, Nikki was claimed as the daughter of Erebus. Wanting to try something, before explaining to Nikki what the **** was going on, he said, “Take my hand and walk into the shadows, think VERY hard about long island sound, camp-half blood.” Nikki had no idea what that meant but she did so, and after a few tries she managed to land on the beach at Camp. She has been living there since.

Describe the extent of your powers/abilities:
Shadow Manipulation: She can make Shadows look weird. She can even make it become a material object, but that takes a LOT of energy. She also, when fighting in a rage, can make shadows circle her blades, which increases the power, but only when she is in a rage.
Light changes: She also tends to darken the light of a room when she walks in (unintentionally) and when can even make the light disappear for a little while (intentionally). She can also see in the dark just as good as the night.
Traveling: She can shadow travel once every other day, but she needs to take a nap sooner or later to regain energy. She also can travel to and from the underworld without consequence, BUT if she disturbs the dead she was warned she would be killed.
Fatal Flaw: Nikki Has a VERY hard time trusting people. In this way she could easily end up risking her life by not taking the advice of someone she has known for a little while. You have to REALLY convince her you are good before she opens up to you.
Please describe why you think you can stabilize a powerful character. Minimum of two well-developed paragraphs **Big Three Only**:
Please give a brief background on your minor god**Minor Gods Only**: The titan Erebus (sometimes called a God but I'm sticking with titan XD) Is the representation of darkness and shadows. He married his sister Nyx and created the gods/figures Aether, Cer, Hemera, Charon, the Hesperides, Hypnos, the Moirae, Momus, Nemesis, Oneiroi, Phlegethon, Styx, and Thanatos. Erebus is also regarded as a figure of the underworld, he represents the passage souls take from the living world to the land of the dead.
Bright Lights Bigger City -- Ceelo Green:
I've been living for the weekend but no, not anymore
Cause here comes that for me, a feeling
That Fridays famous for
Yeah, I'm looking for some action and it's out there somewhere
You can feel the electricity, oh, in the evening air
And it may just be more of the same
But sometimes you wanna go where everyone knows your name
So I guess I'll have to wait and see
But I'm just gonna let something brand new happen to me
Chorus
And it's alright (it's alright)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright (it's alright)
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight (tonight, tonight)
Now Friday is cool but there's something about Saturday night
You can't say what you won't do cause you know that you just might
I'm alive this evening it was love at first sight
This Saturday, and every Saturday for the rest of my life
And everyone's standing in line
Yeah, looking good and looking for a real good time
So I'll never have to wonder if
I'll have someone to share all of this with
Chorus
And it's alright (it's alright)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright (it's alright)
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight (tonight, tonight)
Yes I need it everybody does
Cocktails and conversation
Music can make it long
Chorus
And it's alright (it's alright)
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright (it's alright)
Bright lights and the big city
It belongs to us tonight (tonight)
Bright lights, bright lights, bright lights
And the big city (tonight)
It belongs to us tonight (tonight)

Role Playing Sample: When you looked at Azure, it looked like she had been shooting almost at random, but honestly she wasn't. She was shooting where her arrows where needed, still waiting for massed volley instructions from Kalub. She had tried to protect campers who where out matched, but it didn't seem like she was helping, all around her campers died. Including an ares boy, whose death was felt by a Hermes camper. Azure turned and saw Aalekh again. He was killing campers again and Azure decided to take a risk and shoot an arrow at him.
Her first arrow missed by inches, and Aalekh had not even noticed, and he continued fighting. Unfortunately he turned around and stared straight at her. Her eyes widened and she attempted to shoot again at him, but her arrow was tangled. By the time she fixed it Aalekh had lunged at her. Azure tried to shoot but the nerves made her shoot veer from the heart and head to the left arm. Unfortunately for her, Aalekh didn't seem to be left handed, and he didn't falter.
Azure dropped her bow and drew her knives. Normally she was decent at defending with her knives, but know nerves had made her forget everything. Knives weren't natural for her, and she wasn't use to always using them. She cursed out loud in Ancient Greek, wishing she had put more effort into practicing her knives. Aalekh's sword stroke broke through her knives, but only barely, but that was enough. The sword hit her upper left arm, pain coursed through Azure as the blade tared at her skin. With her other knife she quickly dialoged it before it could do to much more damage. She knew she wouldn't be able to win this fight, with much regret she yelled, "JAMES!" and hoped beyond hope he would come back.
