Portrait:

Apperance:

Skylar has black hair that ends just under her shoulders. She usually keeps it in a high ponytail, though some strands usually escape and hang at the sides of her face. Her bangs stop just above her eyebrows.

Her eyes are a silvery gray color normally, but they turn to the color of storm clouds when she's thinking[which is a lot], or if she's frustrated or angry.

Skylar is skinny, and has slight curves. She wears contacts because she thinks glasses are annoying. Skylar is 5'7'', and weights approximately 126 pounds. Her skin is slightly paler than normal.

Personality:

Skylar is a quiet girl. She was always considered the nerd or geek at school, so she just kept to herself and stayed in the shadows.

Skylar doesn't like to talk, and doesn't really know how to make conversation. When she does talk, she talks quietly. So she has basically no social life.

But when you actually are talking for a serious purpose, or working in a group, Skylar is a great leader. She may not be strong and muscular, but she's quick on her feet and intelligent. She's best at being a strategist, and is confident and calm.

Skylar is very defensive about...basically everyone. She can't stand bullies, or arrogant people. Skylar seems soft and nice, but she's fierce when it comes to defending someone. She's not the kind of person that pranks people. Instead, she's clever with her words.

If you actually try to get to know her, she's very friendly. If you see her around camp, she seems happy and cheerful most of the times. She's a very optimistic person.

She's a dangerous person to make an enemy, though, since she's highly manipulative and persuasive. As I've said before, her power comes from her words and mind.

When it comes to boys, Skylar is a failure. She has no idea what to say, and blushes whenever the subject comes up.

Skylar's main goal in life is just to be good at everything. She tries very hard at all subjects. Skylar still remembers to try to have fun along the way.

History:

Her father is the president of the Board of Education back in Pennsylvania. Of course, he couldn't have anything but a perfect daughter. Little did he realize that it made her the main subject of teasing in school.

Even as she started elementary school, she was doing work way above her grade level. She was already studying the SAT books her dad bought her when she was in fourth grade.

Kids would call her the teacher's pet. All of the teachers liked Skylar, since she was a good student. Never in her life has she gotten anything lower than an A-.

Skylar had no friends whatsoever. Kids usually played pranks on her and stole her stuff, but she just ignored them. She didn't care. Skylar was used to it all by then.

In high school, she took every extra credit class there was. Still no friends. She got through it by writing and drawing.

Skylar had noticed strange things happening around her, though. People dying randomly, accidents happening.

Being the person she is, she wanted to figure it out.

One day, after school, she went to investigate the site where the last murder had been.

She had been cornered by a group of dracaena, and tried to attack her. Luckily, the police were nearby, and one of them could see through the mist, and saved her. He told Skylar that she was a demigod.

After Skylar went home, she told her dad about it, assuming it was all a prank and was no big deal. Because demigod meant half human, and half Greek god.

How I Arrived to Camp/School/Subway:

I remember the look on his face when I told him. One moment, he asked, "How was your day?" Now, he seemed like he had been expecting this somehow. My dad abruptly got up and grabbed my arm, dragging me along as he headed for his car.

"Come on, we're getting you to safety," he reassured me. On the car ride, he explained to me the whole thing about demigods and stuff.

It sent my mind twirling. It was impossible, wasn't it? The Greek Gods weren't real. Then he explained to me that my mother hadn't really died; she was Athena, goddess of wisdom.

I only had time for one thought: "Well, that explains why you always made me take all of those classes." That was when our car flipped over, and crashed to the side of the road.

I had been screaming. That was all I remember. The next thing I knew, I was out of the car and standing at the entrance to this camp thing. The person next to me kept saying that it was all going to be okay.

Okay, maybe I was lying before. I had only one clear memory of what happened. I saw my dad lying dead in the car, a hole where his heart should have been. Then, I guess I fainted. I don't know how I got out alive, and he hadn't. Nor do I have any idea what killed him. But I'll find out eventually. And when I do, I'll kill his killer.
