DEMIGOD
Five Years at Camp
Age: 17
Daughter of Hermes.
Appearance:
Eye(s): Chocolate brown iris', with long eyelashes.
Hair: Loosely curled, golden blonde, but can look darker in some lights. She's got a side fringe which is fairly long and merges into the curls of the rest of her hair.
Height: 5"4. So she's quite small.
Build Type: Slender, quite thin but you wouldn't think that from the amount she can eat.
Brief Description: Katy's skin is a kind of glowing pale tan colour, probably due to the fact that she grew up in Cali. She has a three clawed scratch mark scar on her lower back from a bad encounter with a hungry hellhound when she was a kid, and a couple of random small and insignificant scars on her hands and arms from various injuries as a child. She wears a bracelet of twisted leather, pale gold in colour, on which hangs a silver wing charm. Her hair is pretty long and she's vowed never to cut it. She does wear makeup but not much, only a bit of foundation if needed and some eyeliner and mascara is all. Maybe a bit of lip gloss if you're lucky or theres a special occasion, but really not much. Normally she wears ripped blue jeans, black converse and a strappy top of any colour or slogan t-shirt.. Over the top she has a checkered shirt and a hoody, although she has several of each to choose from. Katy is never seen without her skullcandy lowrider headphones hooked around her neck. Katy has 8 piercings - 2 in each ear lobe (a pair of silver wing studs and a pair of aquamarine jewel studs), one helix/cartilage on her right ear and a scaffold (bar) on her left ear, and she's got an aquamarine jewel stomach piercing too. She has two tattoos, a black upside down treble clef and a bass clef forming a heart, with a wing shaped music sheet with chords to a Linkin Park song on her left hip. On her back, between her shoulder blades (on her spine) she has a prowling leopard tattoo with the quote "what we do in life echoes in eternity" running from the second spot on the tail and round over it's back and down it's side to end by it's ear.

Background:
Mortal Parent(s): Sarah Knight.
Other Family: None that she knows of.
Pets: A storm grey coloured pegasus stallion named Silver. They pretty much clicked when she first arrived. He's the only pegasus she rides now.
Brief History: Katy is British by blood, but her mother moved to California before Katy was born. She's a year-rounder at Camp Half Blood. The ADHD and Dyslexia made it difficult for her to fit in at her schools, and she got kicked out of at least 3 primary schools and 5 secondary schools.
When she turned 11 years old her mother lost herself to gambling and alcoholism. Katy had to look after her as best she could, and being ADHD and having to stay put to watch her mother, she hated it and eventually grew to view her mother as a burden. It was when her mother started bringing home dirtbag boyfriends who delighted in beating her when she didn't do as asked, that Katy left, at age 12.
She pretty much just lived on the streets and hitched rides in pickup trucks, but of course her driver was totally unaware as she often hid under a tarp in the back and jumped off before they noticed. While Katy was AWOL and living on the streets, she accidentally ran into a pack of hellhounds just outside of L.A. Safe to say, they scared the shizz out of the kid, expecially since one was hungry and attacked. Katy got away by climbing a tree and throwing branches at them until they were chased off by two Satyrs with reed pipes. One Satyr then escorted her to Camp Half Blood but they ran into another hellhound, which chased them across the border but couldn't go any further. Later she was claimed by Hermes and hasn't left since. It made no difference as she didn't move cabin, but she knew where she got her sneaky personality from.
Personality:
Likes:
- Espionage and sneaky based things.
- Myths and fairytales.
- Music, she's never found without her skullcandy headphones.
- Being cheeky and causing mischief.
- The Irish. Katy absolutely loves the Irish accent, and anything about them honestly.
Dislikes:
- Bugs. Any, and all, bugs.
- Ares.
- Hellhounds, although if they belong to a Camper she can tolerate them as long as they don't come too close.
- Very small, enclosed spaces.
- Being underestimated, told she can't do something because she's either a girl, or too small, or too weak. She'll kick your ass.
Skills:
- Sneaking around.
- Using the element, of surprise.
Weaknesses:
- Cute, funny, stylish boys. It's one of her biggest weaknesses.
- Claustrophobia. She literally can't go anywhere which is too enclosed, like the Labyrinth for example.
- Sometimes she cannot see the badness in a person until it is too late and she, or someone else, gets hurt.
Passions:
- Singing, even though she isn't a daughter of Apollo, she still has a pretty good voice.
- Capture the Flag. She loves it.
Fears:
- Hellhounds.
- Bugs.
- Claustrophobia.
Hobbies:
- Pranking
- Listening to music.
Fighting Specialty: (one please)
Describe the extent of your powers/abilities: About the only things Katy inherited from her dad is her skills of sneaking around and stealing. She can also teleport, but she gets so tired afterwards that she rarely uses it.
Fatal Flaw:
Quite simply, Katy cannot see if someone is just using her. She stays loyal to her friends, until they do something to hurt her or one of her friends.
Theme Song:
What if I say I'm not like the others,
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays,
Your the pretender,
What if I say I will never surrender?

Role Playing Sample:
This was copy-pasted from a Maximum Ride RP. My character is Ash.
Ash rolled her soft grey eyes at the younger and shot another look, even though she knew full well that it would be as ineffective on Cat as using anti-biotics on a virus would be.
"You seriously don't get the concept of sarcasm do you?" She muttered, ceasing her head banging, instead putting her head in her hands, eyes closed. "The sarcasm was about the flowers, Cat. Just so we're clear on that. And I won't lose any braincells, I'm far too amazing." An electric grin flashed across Ash's stoic features. She sat up, swinging her legs over the branch and looking down. It was funny to think that while most teenagers were petrified of heights, here they were - up really really high (she didn't know how high exactly) and just looking down as if it were only an inch or two to the ground.
"I know you like it here. I like it here too." Ash retorted to Cat's stubborn words, quietly muttering a "especially when your asleep" on the end. "Stay if you want, I'm going. But I suggest you come too, I'm not sure the locals will take kindly to having a little minx like you around. Are you transforming or not?" At this last, she looked at her sister, who had the ability to transform into a snow leopard, if undersized. The lucky thing was that she couldn't speak human while in this form, so Ash would get some peace and quiet at least, and she'd fit into Ash's backpack.
Jumping off onto the branch below, just two feet down from the one Cat was perched on, Ash looked at the horizon. It was still pretty dark, but the sun was just starting to come up. They couldn't be up here when it was light anyway. Pesky cops would come calling.
Switching her glance back to Cat, Ash unfolded her wings and stretched them. They were a soft brown, with a slightly reddish tint to the undersides, accented with russet, coffee and cream streaks to the secondaries. She waited patiently for the girl's answer.
