[color=7ea7d8][b]Which Side You're On:[/b][/color]
[i]While technically on Athena's side Jade is loyal only to her "mother" Artemis, usually taking more neutral stances until provoked.[/i]


[color=7ea7d8][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [hider=Pic/Description][img height=200]http://i57.tinypic.com/23hx15f.png[/img]
[i]In many ways, Jade looks like an "older" version of Artemis. She has jet black hair reaching all the way to her waist and incredibly pale eyes, shifting between a crystal blue and the silver-grey known of Artemis. Jade stands at 5'10" but her thin frame and shoe choices often make her look taller than she actually is. Maintaining her figure through various workouts, Jade holds great pride in her physical abilities and has a habit of showing off her accomplishments through her sparse outfits.[/i][/hider]


[color=7ea7d8][b]Skills:[/b][/color]
[i]Jade is a pretty decent fighter when it comes to hand to hand combat, but is unrivaled when it comes to archery. An expert archer, Jade has no problems shooting down a moving target, even when she herself is moving.
Just a step below her archery skills is her swordsmanship, an advanced fighter when it comes to a lighter blade or dagger.
Having had a need to train her entire life, Jade built up her strength, stamina and flexibility through gymnastics as a kid. She is quite limber and uses every bit of it to her advantage when it comes to a fight.[/i]


[color=7ea7d8][b]Powers:[/b][/color]
[i]Like most hunters Jade can speak to wild animals, however her ability stretches a bit farther than simple understanding. Formally known as Animal Scrying, Jade has the ability to tap into the senses of the animals she speaks to. This ability only allows Jade to become a spectator, unable to control the actions of the animal she is sensing through. While her ability to speak with animals lessens the disadvantages of not being able to control the animal while scrying, her body is still left vulnerable to attack while she scouts ahead. Because of this, Jade is careful not to use it too often.

Aside from her unusual animal-related power, Jade has the standard hunter's gifts. She can summon her bow and arrows whenever she requires them and is naturally faster than most demigods and nymphs. For an unknown reason, Jade's strength matches that of a normal demigod's instead of her fellow hunters.[/i]

[b]Personality:[/b][/color]
[i]Jadaria is both a proud and opinionated person, a combination that more often than not ends in confrontation. She claims to prefer taking a neutral stance, however to her that just means sitting back and observing until an opportunity to strike reveals itself. Two terms that best describe Jade are strong-willed and loyal, an amazing person to have as a teammate and/or friend. Partly to do with her inability to filter her thoughts, Jade doesn't have many friends but she cherishes the ones she has with everything she's got. Often taking on the protector roll, Jadaria sees herself as a defender of the weak, putting herself between bullies and their victims without a second thought.

Despite her cold demeanor towards others, Jadaria is a gentle and caring person (unless you piss her off), she just doesn't trust easily. Unless hunting or participating in one of the many CHB "games", Jadaria will usually keep to herself and can be found training in one of many different ways. [/i]


[color=7ea7d8][b]History:[/b][/color]
[i]Despite being a claimed daughter of Artemis, Jadaria obviously shares no blood relation to the woman she considers to be her mother. Before her birth, Jadaria's biological mother grew very ill and almost died along with her baby. The woman prayed that she would at least get to deliver her unborn child before she passed, a prayer heard and answered by Artemis. Her intervention, however, did not leave the baby unaffected. When Jadaria was born she resembled the goddess closely, right down to the unique eye color and silver aura. For the first couple of years of her life, Jadaria matured much faster than considered normal, but not so much as to draw attention from outside the family.

Raised only by her father, Jadaria quickly learned how to take care of herself so that she could help out around the house. Whenever questioned about her mother, her father would dance around the question, never quite giving a description of the woman he loved for fear of Jade finding out the truth. Feeling a sort of disconnect from other people, Jade went through school without any friends, instead playing on her own. Finding greater interest in physical activities, Jade asked to start gymnastics, an activity she would carry on with even after starting at CHB.

It wasn't until she turned thirteen that Jade's father finally told her the whole truth about her mother's death, and her birth. Fascinated with the story, she demanded that her father took her to the camp that he had been told about. A bittersweet departing from her father, Jade promised to return and spend time with him once she had figured herself out. It took a while but Artemis finally came to claim Jadaria in person when she and her hunters passed through after a hunt. The meeting she had with Artemis sealed her fate forever on, Jade pledging an undying loyalty to the woman responsible for giving her a chance at life. Ever since Jadaria has split her time between training at CHB and hunting with Artemis, sending her father letters every so often. Like the hunters she has given up all relationships with men besides her father, the one person to have raised her. [/i][/center][/hider]


Here's my CS. I am fully aware of the lore behind the Godly Parent I chose, so let me know if what I came up with doesn't work.
