@JessieTargaryen - Probably should have done so when I was fixing up the CS, but oh well. Loll. I actually read the CS this time, and she looks great..! Ryley is accepted hun. Feel free to pop her across into the character tab and to post whenever you're ready.
The familiar voice of her older sister coming out of nowhere; Sasha couldn't help but jump. Her breath catching in her throat a moment before she forced herself to let it go. Her dark gaze drawing up towards Myra as the woman leant herself over her shoulder. Arms folded over the back of the couch, though the eldest of the Lopez children had fixed her attention upon the movie that the youngest had been watching- simply the latest in the marathon that had been going on since the early hours of the morning when she'd woken and had trouble returning to any sort of slumber.
"Another 'La Dolce Vita'."
Another voice, another jump. And almost immediately, Sasha's head turned on a swivel. Watching as her older brother, Damien, following their sisters lead. Leaning himself over her left shoulder, much as Myra had her right. His own gaze fixated upon the screen as the movie continued to play. Okay; so she was pretty sure that if the cancer didn't get her, the heart attack they gave her would. They were seriously coming out of woodwork this morning- hell, she hadn't even heard either of them come down the stairs. Had she really been that focused on what she was watching that she'd just... hadn't noticed..?
Doing her best to refrain from rolling her eyes at their antics, though the battle was very quickly lost; Sasha's attention was drawn back to the movie with a smile. The cult classic that was 'The Evil Dead' doing nothing to help keep her heart from racing, "I hear they're remaking it with Gosling."
"..first 'La La Land', now this. They never learn." A soft sigh passing out through the part in her lips, Myra shook her head almost sadly at the mere thought. Her body pulling away from the couch- straightening up to its full height as she folded her arms across her chest.
Shifting slightly on the spot, though only enough for him to free up a single arm; Damien shot a glance down at his wrist. The confusion on his features replaced with a look of defeat as he came to the sudden realization that he wasn't actually wearing his watch. Instead having left it... somewhere. If he was being honest with himself, he wasn't exactly sure where that was. It could have been anywhere in his room. Or Sam's. His money was on it probably being at Sam's place, "What time is it..?"
"Time is but a relative concept." Giving a light shrug of her shoulders as she spoke; Sasha lifted her hand. The tips of her fingers brushing lightly over her forehead as she drew some stray strands of her long dark locks back and off her face. Tucking them neatly behind her ear.
"Six forty-five."
"Time to hit the road." Pulling himself away from the couch with a groan, making it out to be far more a chore than it actually was; Damien took a moment to stretch. His arms lifting above his head; the action illicited a series of satisfying pops and cracks to sound from his joints before he dropped them back down to his sides, "Promised the guys I'd catch up with them before homeroom. You coming today, Sash..?"
"Yeah. Just let me grab my bag." Reaching for the remote; Sasha took a moment to turn off the TV before getting to her feet. A soft skip in her step at the thought of their first day as she headed up the stairs to retrieve her things from her room.
A slight look of concern shared between the two older Lopez siblings; Myra followed after their little sister. Slowing first before stopping short, however, when she'd reached the bottom of the staircase. Hand resting lightly on the banister, she cast a glance over her shoulder at Damien before calling up to her, "..you sure you're up for it..?"
Appearing at the top of the stairs, Sasha smiled softly. Her head nodding as she worked to slip the book she was currently reading into her satchel, "Positive."
"Five more words, other than positive, and I'll believe you."
"Affirmative. Categorical. Absolute. Indubitable, and..." Narrowing her eyes slightly, her steps slowing until she was paused only a few stairs from the main floor of the house, Sasha took a moment to search through her mind. The expression on her delicate features showing a slight smugness to it as she turned her dark gaze towards her sister. A soft little smirk dancing over her lips, "Unequivocal."
"Okay, okay. Sabelotodo. Have a good day at school."
"Gracias, Myra." The smirk she wore softening- becoming a genuine smile which grew, lighting up her features and causing the corners of her eyes to crinkle lightly; Sasha leant up. Pressing a soft kiss against her sister's cheek before she continued towards the front door where their brother was waiting. Already armed with the keys to her car in his hand.
"You gonna be here when we get home..?"
"Not sure- I'm covering a shift at work, but I'll try and be back in time."
"Don't stress. We'll survive without you. Besides, technically you don't even live here anymore." Chuckling at the look his sister was giving him, taking a quick step back as she raised her hand in same gesture she always did when they messed around with one another, Damien turned and ushered Sasha further towards the door. Reaching past her so that he could open it, "Oh..! By the way..."
Pausing where he stood; Damien looked pointedly between his two sisters. His brow quirking slightly, "No more watching 'Gilmore Girls' in this house. It's bad enough that you two can recite it off by heart, but now you have me doing it too. Not cool."
Adjusting the strap of her bag over her shoulder as she exchanged a smirk with her sister; Sasha simply rolled her eyes. Reaching to take hold of Damien's free hand before she tugged him out of the house, closing the door behind them, "Adiós, Myra."
The seam of her lips parting ever slightly from one another as she made her departure; Sasha let her back hit and rest against the office door as she closed it behind her. Hand lingering upon the handle for a few moments longer before she took off. The meeting-... even in her wildest dreams- ney; nightmares, did she ever think that she'd ever be discussing issues concerning her health with the principle, vice principle, guidance councellor, and school nurse.
Gods, she was exhausted already.
The lack of sleep through the night certainly didn't help- though she had to admit, she was more than thankful that the rest of the faculty had already been notified of the situation. Hopefully it helped her avoid anymore awkward conversations in the future; though if she was being honest with herself, she wasn't exactly holding her breath.
Slowing her pace as she rounded the corner, Sasha took a moment to look around the hall. Empty... Well, no; the hallway was almost empty. Luckily enough for her, Miss Goldman was still right there, smiling bright and greeting her students into the new school year, just as she always did. The hold she had over the strap of her bag tightening as she pulled it in closer to her chest; she quickly joined in at the end of the well assembled line leading into room nine-fifteen.
Biting her lower lip softly as she waited patiently for her turn at the front of the line; she chewed on it a few moments before it slipped from between her teeth. Her hand lifting, she ran her fingers back through her long dark locks as her gaze flicked from one person to the next before, finally, coming to a rest on the woman that was standing beside the door to the room.
"Buenos dias, Miss Goldman. Lo siento... I had to stop by the administration office and I was only just let out..."
Shifting slightly on the spot, a small, though relieved smile crossing her features; Sasha gave the woman a light nod of her head. Relaxing her hold slightly over her bags strap, she cast a quick glance over her shoulder. Seemingly taking a moment to simply look about the hall before she turned back to the class; making her way into the room. Taking her seat in the front row by the teachers desk; Sasha's hand moved. Slipping the bag from her shoulder to instead rest on the floor by her feet as she sat down.
Tugging the sleeves of the top she wore down and further over her hands, she let her attention wander down to her desk. Barely taking note of what was actually being said. She once again ran her fingers back through her hair. Pushing it off her face, though when she lowered her hand, her heart sank down into the very pit of her stomach.
No... No; not now. There was no way that this was happening now of all times- of all places.
"..mierda..."
Fingers curling over- her palm snapping shut into a fist around the lock of hair that came out with the simple action of forcing it out of her face so she could see; Sasha folded her arms. Pulling them in tight against her body.
Attention forced bak to the present as she heard the sound of shuffling of feet and scraping of chairs filling the air around her; Sasha glanced around. Watching on as the others began filing out of the room. Right. She'd almost forgotten about the beginning of the year assembly.
"..uh... Miss Goldman-..?"
The words barely out of her mouth; it was with a simple shared look between her and the older woman that had her relaxing in her seat. A soft, thankful playing over her features. Waiting until the room was otherwise empty aside from herself; Sasha relaxed. Perhaps... perhaps this year wouldn't be so bad- school wise, at least. Especially with Miss G as their teacher.
The smile fading from her lips as she opened her palm, she stared down at the hair held in it.
Health wise- social wise... it was going to be a long year...
Gods; that assembly felt as though it had gone on forever...
Principle McGregor sure could drone on, and on, and on - though, on the plus side, at least he hadn't gone and passed out like some people. His bright eyes wandering over the group that was his class; Damien couldn't help but let his gaze linger on the culprits. Marco... Cassian- he was sure there were others, and honestly, he was a little surprised that Sawyer hadn't been one of them.
Speaking of Spider-boy...
His gorgeous blues lowering down- turning away from scanning the group for the familiar figures that were his friends; Damien's attention was instead drawn down to his phone as he fished it from the depths of his jacket pocket. Relaxing, shoulder pressing against the brick wall of the building as he fell against it; he stared at the message on the screen. A small smile creeping across his lips as he read the good wishes from his parents, and by the fact that they were with him, his uncle too. Well... at least they were enjoying themselves.
The sound of his soft chuckle filling the air around him; he locked the screen. Shoving the phone back into the back pocket of his jacket. Yeah... they definitely needed this break.
"Bran told me from his first day of his senior year they had a lot of good vendors. I doubt they changed the list very much in the last two years. You guys eat this morning, at all?"
Attention caught by the sound of his best friends voice breaking thorugh his train of thought; Damien pushed away from the wall. Shoving both his hands down into his pockets as he made his way over to where the group had been assembling together. Catching up to them just in time to hear Marco pipe in, causing him to nod in agreement.
"I could go with a bite to eat. Passed on breakfast for a few extra minutes of sleep. Totally worth it."

Though she once put thought towards either going to college, or travelling; Rachel has now had to put all and any plans for her future on hold. Instead choosing to put all her focus on her future child, and on finishing high school. The rest she can decide on one day at a time.

Being a hunter she was often told to be a little more stoic and should only care for her fellow huntresses but she honestly could not just bring herself to do that, especially since her father was such a kind enough man to tell her that she should always be good to people because spreading kindness is better than spreading hate. In some ways this has come to bite her in the bum but even with all of that she just does not stop. Artemis would sometimes see her as a weakness but in most times she has proven that even she was wrong sometimes, and being the Artemis she only sometimes took kindly to that.
She may be one of the nicest people but she knows what she is doing, she is careful and is one hell of a planner. People often turn to her if they need to get somewhere safely, she knows every ins and outs of a place just by looking at it.
____________________________________________________________________________ B I O G R A P H Y
Claire was lucky enough to grow up with a very loving father, even with her mother leaving she was still able to keep in touch especially with how much her father cared for the young girl. Dear Selene even left a ring for the girl to remember her by. On most nights growing up she would sit outside on the porch of her house and talk to the moon for hours, knowing all too well that her mother would be listening.
It was never her and father in these years of growing up, she grew up with her father's sister who she lovingly called Aunt Maria who would stay with her when her father was at work, who would let her help in making dinner and help in doing homework. Along with Aunt Maria was a man who called himself Quentin, she did not know much about Quentin other than him needing crutches to walk and having a funny accent. She never had bad times when she was around these people.
Years latrer, this was when things started going bad, it was foggy and raining, on the drive home from school; it was her, her father, and Quentin in the car, he said he needed to drop by somewhere which was along the way so her father offered to give him a ride. But then something heavy landed on the roof of their car and soon talons pierced the roof and ripped open the top, grabbing at the young Claire. Her father than swerved the car to try and shake off the harpy but when it slid a little to the side its talons caught the tire and they soon came to a full stop. They all got of the car and her father immediately ran to protect her along with Quentin. It was a huge scuffle but after a while her father had gotten a hold of the Harpy who was clawing and screaming at him and he yelled to throw the ring at them. As Claire threw the ring through the air towards them, it transformed into a dagger mid air and pierced the monster right through the heart with her father behind it. She ran to see if he was alright only to see the dagger pass through him like it was nothing. Her father then looked at Quentin and nodded at him, he was to take her to camp half-blood to keep her safe, after all he was a Satyr all along.
On the way to the Camp, they met up with the hunters of Artemis and dear Artemis herself gave her the choice to go to the camp or come with them. She did not even think much about it, she simply said yes without even seeing the camp first, what lead her to do this she would never know. She took her oath, gave Quentin a very heartfelt goodbye and soon she never saw the Satyr for another 4 years; When Artemis asked her if she wanted to see Camp Half-Blood, she agreed almost immediately but Artemis soon followed it by saying that she would be the Goddess' eyes to what they are up to, and if Claire wanted to participate in any of the activities, she could but only if she reported to her at least once a week.
And with that, To the camp she went.

Things are most definitely going to get interesting around the camp - Claire is accepted honey..! Welcome to the roleplay; feel free to pop her across into the character section when you're ready.
Sorry I didn't get back to you this morning, I saw though that one of my lovely C--GM's did however. Glad to have you onboard..! Hunters of Artemis are indeed a possibility when it comes to making characters. It just means that your huntress will be stationed living in the camp, either in Artemis' cabin, or in a tent on the edge of the forest (I know that some huntresses prefer that).
I'll send you a DM with the link to the roleplays Discord link so that you can join if you wish to.

Unsure if he should continue on as planned by joining the Coast Guard with Danny, or whether he makes the change by becoming a doctor instead.

Though she once put thought towards either going to college, or travelling; Rachel has now had to put all and any plans for her future on hold. Instead choosing to put all her focus on her future child, and on finishing high school. The rest she can decide on one day at a time.

Sasha has Leukemia and is currently undergoing treatment. Though not wanting to worry her friends, she hasn't told a soul outside her family, her boss, and the school staff - aside from this, Sasha has come to terms with the fact that she's going to die.
Leukemia : ۵ Leukemia is a type of malignancy (cancer) of blood cell; in luekemia, abnormal blood cells are produced within the bone marrow- the cells that are responsible for fighting off infection- however, the abnormal cells within leukemia don’t function in the same way as normal white blood cells. The leukemia cells continue to both grow and divide, eventually crowding out the normal blood cells, and more times than none the end result is that it becomes too difficult for the body to continue fighting off infections, to control bleeding, and to transport oxygen to where it is most needed.
There are different types of leukemia, each based upon how quickly the disease develops over the course of time, and the type of abnormal cells produced.
The exact cause of leukemia is not known, however, it is thought to involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Leukemia cells have acquired mutations in their DNA that cause them to grow abnormally, and to lose functions of typical white blood cells; though it is not clear what causes these mutations to occur. One type of change in the cells DNA that is common in leukemias is known as a chromosome translocation. In this process, a portion of one chromosome breaks off and attaches to a different chromosome. One translocation seen in almost all cases of CML, and sometimes in other types of leukemia is an exchange of DNA between chromosomes ‘nine’ and ‘twenty-two’, which leads to what is known as the Philadelphia chromosome. This creates an oncongene (cancer-promoting gene) known as BCR-ABL; this change in DNA is not inherited, but occurs sometime in the life of the affected individual.
Most cases of leukemia are not believed to be hereditary, however certain genetic mutations and conditions can be passed along to offspring that increase the chances of developing leukemia. A condition known as Li-Fraumeni syndrome is characterized by an inherited mutation in a tumor suppressor gene known as TP53, and individuals with this condition have an increased risk of leukemia and other cancers. Other hereditary conditions that can increase the risk of developing leukemia include down syndrome, neurofibromatosis type one, ataxia telangiectasia, and Noonan syndrome.
Signs & Symptoms of Leukemia : ۵ Symptoms and signs of leukemia depend upon the type of leukemia; slow-growing or chronic leukemia may not cause any symptoms at the outset, while aggressive or rapidly growing leukemia may lead to severe symptoms. The symptoms of leukemia arise from a loss of function of the normal blood cells or accumulation of the abnormal cells in the body.
Signs and symptoms of leukemia typically include the following: ∞ Fevers. ∞ Night Sweats. ∞ Swollen lymph nodes that are usually painless. ∞ Feelings of fatigue, tiredness. ∞ Easy bleeding or bruising, causing bluish or purplish patches. ∞ Recurring nosebleeds. ∞ Frequent infections. ∞ Bone or joint pain. ∞ Weight loss that is otherwise unexplained, or loss of appetite. ∞ Enlargement of the spleen or liver, which can lead to abdominal pain or swelling. ∞ Red spots on the skin (petechiae).
However, if leukemia cells have infiltrated the brain, symptoms such as headaches, seizures, confusion, loss of muscle control, and vomiting can also occur.
Treatment for Leukemia : ۵ There are a number of different medical approaches to the treatment of leukemia. Treatment will typically depend upon the type of leukemia, the patient's age and health status, as well as whether or not the leukemia cells have spread to the cerebrospinal fluid. The genetic changes or specific characteristics of the leukemia cells as determined in the laboratory can also determine the type of treatment that may be most appropriate.
Watchful waiting may be an option for some people with a chronic leukemia who do not have symptoms. This involves close monitoring of the disease so that treatment can begin when symptoms develop. Watchful waiting allows the patient to avoid or postpone the side effects of treatment. The risk of waiting is that it may eliminate the possibility of controlling the leukemia before it worsens.
Treatments for leukemia include chemotherapy (major treatment modality for leukemia), radiation therapy, biological therapy, targeted therapy, and stem cell transplant. Combinations of these treatments may be used.
Many patients opt to receive a second opinion before beginning treatment for leukemia. In most cases, there is time to receive a second opinion and consider treatment options without making the treatment less effective. However, in rare cases of very aggressive leukemias, treatment must begin immediately. Someone should discuss with a doctor the possibility of obtaining a second opinion and any potential delays in treatment. Most doctors welcome the possibility of a second opinion and will not be offended by a patient's wish to obtain one.
Treatment & Survival Rate for Leukemia : ۵ Treatment may involve some combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow transplant, in addition to supportive care and palliative care as needed. Certain types of leukemia may be managed with watchful waiting. The success of treatment depends on the type of leukemia and the age of the person. Outcomes have improved in the developed world. The average five-year survival rate is 57% in the United States.

✘Excessively cold weather; especially snow, although it is very pretty to look at ✘Tree nuts - Eretria is highly allergic, & is extremely careful when working with them ✘Having to deal with Karen's, & other difficult or rude customers that come into the store ✘When people make assumptions about her craft & her without even trying to understand ✘People thinking that just because she's a cheerleader, she's either dumb, a bitch, or both ✘Moldavite - Always warns people, especially friends, against using it before they're ready ✘When people assume its okay to go through her things, especially her book of shadows ✘Brussel sprouts, asparagus & anchovies - doesn't get how anyone can like them
____________________________________________________________________________ P E R S O N A L I T Y
Caught at a crossroads; Eretria isn't sure which path she should follow after graduation has come and gone. Does she follow her head and go to college and follow the career path that she's worked so hard for..? Or does she follow her heart and go travelling, photographing the beauty of the world as she does..?
