[color=f7941d][u]Birth Date:[/u][/color] 5th of August [color=f7941d][u]Age:[/u][/color] 17 [color=f7941d][u]Gender:[/u][/color] Female [color=f7941d][u]Sexuality:[/u][/color] Heterosexual[hr][center][color=gold][h1][u]In The Mirror[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Appearance [/u][/color] Vanessa has straight, layered faded orange hair reaches only a small length past her shoulders, some locks starting to grow back into it's natural dark brown which she will dye over eventually. Her round-almond shaped eyes are a ligh hazel. She is quite short for a girl of her age standing at 156cm (about 5'1") and doesn't have any chance of growing taller. Over time she has come to accept her short height but that doesn't mean she always embraces it with open arms. She is also quite lean weighing at 48kg (about 105lbs) and has a small amount of muscle on her. She is not one to smile widely therefore hiding her crooked white front teeth. [color=f7941d][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/color] Her clothing style is quite simple. She's not a fan of anything flashy or eye-popping nor does she like dresses or skirts. Darker colours (particularly blacks) are ever-present in her clothing choices but all the same she generally doesn't wear all black, commonly pairing her leather jacket or another dark item of clothing with more neutral or toned down colours[hr] [center][color=gold][h1][u]Delving Deeper[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Likes:[/u][/color] [list][*] Music, particularly the more edger and hardcore styles such as hard rock, punk/pop-punk, Alternative etc. [*] The stories of the dead recounting their lives [*] History, although she doesn't overly enjoy being involved in wars she loves the retelling of them [*] Time alone to think to herself yet she enjoys company every now and again also.

She considers herself a level-head realist and isn't actually as gloomy as many perceive her to be before they get to know her. She is very caring toward most people but she attempts to push others away at her darkest of moments. As helpful and kind as she is she strongly believes that one should take consequences for their own actions and can take her time in forgiving those who harm her or someone she's close to either physically or mentally. She's the kind of person who is silently listening to the whole conversation and mentally criticising it yet she would be quick to stand up for herself or those she cares for. She's the kind of person how will rebel within the rules, pushing the boundaries but not crossing the line enough to be labelled a troublemaker. She doesn't make friends easily, she has her father's reputation to thank for it, she finds herself alone often, sometimes she enjoys the lack of company, sometimes not. [color=f7941d][u]Background:[/u][/color] Vanessa was born the 3rd child in a family of 4 children in Illinois, America with no knowledge of the Godly realm. Not long before Vanessa's mother fell pregnant with her she was widowed with the father of Vanessa's older siblings, her two brothers. A couple of years after her birth her mother remarried and had yet another child, a girl. Vanessa's brothers were very protective of their sisters, particularly Vanessa herself as she didn't know who her father was, but they also taught her that not everything will always go her way. Vanessa was that girl in school people would actively avoid for no good reason so she often spent her lunch breaks on her own. At 13 her mother died from cancer after a 3 year battle. Her step-father only wanted to keep his daughter, sending his step-children to an orphanage as their mother dropped all contact with family years before her first child. When she was 15 she first summoned a spirit from the underworld. It was an accident, obviously, but of course, how are you meant to explain that to the other teenage girls who you shared a room with? So entitling her a freak they avoided any contact with her if possible but Vanessa didn't care, this opened a new possibility for her, the possibility to see her mother. As much as she tried, however, it never worked but she met her father not long after the first incident, it was a very awkward experience in the middle of a cemetery but from then on he checked up on her on the odd occasion until now. Only weeks earlier her father invited her to live with him in the godly realm. [hr][center][color=gold][h1][u]Godly Information[/u][/h1][/color][/center] [color=f7941d][u]Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Hades [color=f7941d][u]Relationship With Godly Parent:[/u][/color] Her relationship with her father is very much a love/hate one. On one meeting they would get along well for a father and daughter that barely see each other and be happy in each other's company, or as much as you could belonging to the underworld, though quite often on the next meeting they can lost get in bickering and fighting. As much as Vanessa admires her father she fears him slightly. [color=f7941d][u]Godly Abilities:[/u][/color] Summoning the dead: Particularly near the place of the death or where they are buried she is able to summon the spirit of a single dead soul at a time, however, sometimes this doesn't work out for her. She is not able to control their actions, obviously, nor is it too long before they are dragged back into the underworld but she enjoys the company and the stories of the dead.

Generally they had quite a neutral relationship with their ups and downs. Truthfully she loved her mother but didn't really regard her name as highly as some children do.

[h3][i][b]~Personal Information~[/b][/i][/h3] [b]Personality:[/b] On appearance Vanessa can seem gloomy and downright pessimistic. However Vanessa isn't (usually) as gloomy as she seems. She isn't one to smile or laugh often, that's usually something that she only does when she is with her friends alone. She usually like to keep to herself or to a small group of people shes close with. She considers herself a level-head realist but her mind does often wander, sometimes from the likes of daydreaming, sometimes she just gets pushed into deep thought. Vanessa was never surrounded by a large group of friends, probably never will be. When she was in school she was often that kid everyone would actively avoid for no good reason but at camp she has her father's reputation to thank for it, her cabin's councilor, Erin's, attitude to the general group of campers isn't any help either. Vanessa has a big heart and is willing to share it with anyone who bothers to pay her some attention. She is very loyal and cares for her friends deeply, however, in her darkest moments she [i]will[/i] push them away. As caring as she is she believes that one should take consequences for their actions and finds it hard to forgive those who mentally or physically hurt her, her family or her friends. Vanessa is most definitely an introvert and isn't a fan of big parties, or even such gatherings (however she quite enjoys the campfire nights). She's quite intelligent and is great with strategy, given not as much as a child of Athena but she was always an A/B student when she was in school. She usually doesn't judge quickly, or tries not to at least. She the type of person who listens to both sides of the argument and silently analyses it before coming to a personal conclusion, however, she will be quick to stand up for her loved ones. She is generally mature and responsible but when she is alone with her friends she lets loose a bit, becomes more smiley and slightly crazy even if she's close enough to them. [b]Skills:[/b] As far as skills go Vanessa hasn't shown any 'mortal' skill out of the ordinary, she works for what she's got. She has a rich knowledge in history and she is intelligent, but not as much so as the Athenian kids. She is great with strategy (particularly war strategy) but not as much so as a kid from Athena or Ares. She has a few musical skills up her sleeve but not to the potential of an Apollo kid. Needless to say Vanessa has skills but each are easily outshone from the children of another god [b]Biography:[/b] Jane had been widowed almost 2 years when she met Hades that Spring. She had taken her sons Jacob and William (whom were 3 and 4 at the time) to a local cafe for lunch. Hades happened to be seated at the table next to them and William and Jacob (at their wide-eyed naive ages) decided they wanted to talk to the 'sad man' and made attempts to be his friend until their mother intercepted. The 2 got to chatting and meet up a couple of times before falling in love, well at least Jane did. A few days before spring ended Hades revealed his identity to her and told her that he could not see her again, neither aware Jane fallen pregnant that night. Nine month later Jane gave a long, painful birth to Vanessa. The family of four were well off enough. Even though all 3 kids always knew Vanessa 'didn't have a dad' they never took that into much thought. Growing up William and Jacob were very protective of their younger sister, of course they often teased and tormented each other as siblings do but if anyone else did so to her they'd have older boys to answer to. Vanessa's family lived off Jane's deceased husband's earnings (as he was a doctor when he was alive) and always had what they needed. True, they didn't have a luxurious life but they had an education, full stomachs, a roof over their heads and a bit extra for special occasions. However money was getting tighter and tighter by the year and the family couldn't live off of a deceased man's earnings forever. It was evident Jane would have to return to her job as a nurse eventually but there wasn't anyone to look after the kids and at their young age she didn't want them home alone in the evening, that was when she met Michael. Vanessa was 5 when Jane met Micheal and truthfully she quite liked the man. The two of them married 2 years on and Vanessa always saw Micheal as her father figure and often referred to him as her father other than her stepdad despite keeping her mother's maiden name. When Vanessa was inching toward her tenth year her mother gave birth to yet another girl, Selina. Selina was never Vanessa's half-sister. Despite technicalities Selina was never to be referred to as Vanessa's half sister when she was around or she'd be quick to correct them. Vanessa's mother passed when she was 11. A storm had hit and the rain pounded the roof of every house, every building and covered every road. Jane was on her way home from her job when the storm hit suddenly, the rain limiting the view of every driver so neither her or the man driving the truck noticed each other until it was too late. Despite the pleas of Jane in her will Micheal decided he couldn't, and didn't want to, care for all the children left to him despite his own by blood and sent the other three kids to a local foster care home as Jane had lost contact with her family years ago. Leaving Vanessa to feel betrayed by the man who had been her father in her eyes for the last few years. Ridden with guilt Micheal would often attempt to send money and presents to the kids but they were always returned, they didn't want anything to do with him. When she was almost 12 she first summoned zombie-like figure from the underworld. It was an accident, obviously, but of course, how are you meant to explain that to the other tweens and teens who you shared a house with? So entitling her a freak they avoided any contact with her if possible but Vanessa didn't care, this opened a new possibility for her, maybe she could see her mother, at least long enough to say goodbye. As much as she tried, however, it never worked. What Vanessa didn't know was the random deaths and brutal killings in the area weren't coincidence, although she could not summon a 'zombie' for an overly long period of time with each spirit another monster was detecting her and, when she was 14 she was quickly taken to camp half-blood by a satyr, who has lived in the foster care for a couple of months, alongside a small group of harder-to-detect demigods who had been in the area trying to kill off the beasts in the city. Despite a visit to Olympus, Vanessa had never left camp half-blood since.

On occasions she can summon them from a distance but it takes a lot of power and energy out of her. At the moment she can only summon or occasionally, 2 at a time.

Many battles have been won and much blood spilled with that sword and upon the soldier's death it was donated to camp half-blood.
