Meyers, CorneliaDemigod#4 Year at CampAge: 18 Son/Daughter of Ares
Appearance:
Eye(s): Emerald Green Hair: Dark Brown Height: 5”8’ Build Type: Well toned, with Moderate Muscle Definition
Background:
Mortal Parent(s): Lilia Meyers Other Family: Kameron Flynn Graves [childhood friend/“brother”] Pets: Black Cat, Lucifer Brief History: Lilia grew up in Reykjavik, Iceland but moved to Los Angeles, working as a dignified sports coach, teaching and pushing kids to excel in all manners of sports. She knew how to encourage and instill determination in her players. Although picky, she knew potential when she saw it and it was often her players that grew up to be the big star players. Lilia was very close friends with Melissa Graves, a famed fitness trainer. She met Alonso at one of her team’s track meets, declining his advances, when he attempted to take her out after the meet. She was too proud and headstrong to commit to a relationship. Alonso, not one to give up something he’s set his eyes on, continuously tried to get Lilia’s attention. Eventually, she grew touched by his efforts and agreed on a date with him, which led to them courting, and eventually the day she found out she was pregnant.
Having expected this, Alonso revealed himself to be the war god, Ares, to Lilia’s shock. He told her that he did court Melissa for a while and they had son together, then relayed the information to bring their daughter to a demigod camp when she was old enough. Lilia, irritated at Ares for that little tidbit, left him before he could but not before making him promise that he would claim their daughter after she was born. Ares returned to Mt. Olympus, rejected and frustrated.
Nine months later, her daughter was born and true to his word Ares claimed her when she was 8. It was hard for her to keep to her studies having learned that she had dyslexia and ADHD. So she made up for it in sports, her mother being her coach. She excelled in all she tried her hand at, especially track and soccer, her mother pushing her to be the very best she can be. She had traveled to various states and countries to compete in many competitions, from areas in Europe to Asia.
However, she had a problem with delinquency at various schools, but as a sports star, it was often hard to expel her because of that. Nevertheless, she didn’t care much as long as she got the chance to do what she loved. Melissa’s son, Flynn was the only person she considered a friend. She may have loved her mother dearly but she was too independent from the start and often made the ‘wrong’ decisions. She began seeing things that she thought didn’t exist at an early age, monsters of lore. Her mother grew increasingly worried and gave her a dagger of celestial bronze that Ares gave her before he left and telling her the truth of her parentage and the demigod camp. Her daughter scoffed and was completely unfazed, and instead was happy about these new encounters in her life. Any monster that tried to pick a fight with her, ended up in dust.
Deciding that it was best for her daughter to get the CHB as soon as possible, she made arrangements to have her taken there. She refused at first but eventually relented, not wanting to worry her mother anymore. The road ahead was smooth for her, monsters rarely wanting to deal with such an aggressive girl.
Cornelia’s been at camp for 4 years, and is one of the meanest demigods one can encounter. She tolerates some people but that’s about it. She occasionally stays at camp for the year but mostly leaves to return back home.
Personality: Fearless: Like most Ares children, Cornelia isn’t afraid of anything; of anything or anyone. If anything, she is the one who’s to instill fear into people’s hearts. Ruthless and at times even cruel, she’ll show little to no mercy to anyone standing in her way, whether they be children or the elderly even. She has no qualms with being the one to lay down her rules, not even expecting, but demanding that they be followed.
Ice Queen: Hardly one to open up to others, the only person she could even come close to caring about would be her childhood friend and brother, Flynn. She would never open herself up to anyone deliberately, instead encasing her weaker self and pretty much cutting that part of herself out of her life. She is immovable in her decisions and incredibly stubborn willing to do anything to prove her point.
Born Warrior: As a daughter of Ares, she is adept at nearly every weapon she tries her hand at, only furthering her confidence. But even without weapons, she knows how to fight bare-handedly, having been harassed many a time, AND having been the one to pick on and harass others. Her greatest aptitude would most likely be her ability to run, being a track star and having never lost a track meet in her life, she is incredibly fast, rivaling the speed of any Hermes child. Although she may hate it, she knows when to flee, though sometimes, needs a good kick in the head to get her to cooperate. She is very sure of herself as a fighter and prides herself in believing she is one of the greatest of Ares’ children.
Ill-tempered: Although she mostly keeps to herself, she is prone to anger. Like many Ares children, Cornelia has one of the worst tempers you can ever encounter. She is merciless and unforgiving in her rage, and holds nasty grudges. She hates taking responsibility and will probably fume over someone who points out her faults. Another thing she can't stand are phonies. Unusually skilled at reading people, she knows when she's being lied to. If someone is unfortunate to make an enemy of her, expect your worst nightmares to come true.
Honest/Blunt: She will not mince words for you. Whatever she’s thinking about you, she’ll tell it to you straight up, no matter how hurtful the words and regardless of repercussions. Anyone who can’t handle the truth, she has little respect for. Anyone who can prove her claims wrong, will earn her grudging respect [just don’t expect it to be easy].
Act First, Think Later: Actions speak louder than words to Cornelia. She loves action and hates when people stand around idly chatting wasting time. An adventurous girl, she won’t hesitate to jump into the fray even at the cost of doing harm to herself. Anyone unfortunate to pick a fight with her will certainly have a lot on their hands. It will take a LOT to handle Cornelia.
