AppearanceHaley stands at five feet, four inches tall, being considered an average height, though she seems to be shorter than most of the other campers her age. Looking upon her face, the first thing that you will notice about her is her eyes - easily her most dominant feature. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are a dark hazel color with golden specks in them. They can either seem warm and inviting like a cup of warm coffee, or hard as stone. Her nose is slightly pudgy and seems a bit big for her face. Her lips are considered to be thin, though the bottom one is slightly fuller than the upper. A light splash of freckles cover her face, mainly under her eyes and across her nose, and can be found on her arms as well. Her lashes are long, and her eyebrows are thick, though not considered bushy.
Haley's body shape is considered to be a pudgy hour glass. Years of training have lead to there being a undertone of muscle on her arms and legs. Her hair falls just below her mid back in natural, messy waves. Her skin is considered to be light tan in color. Her smile is said to light up whatever room that she is in, though it is rarely seen. When she does smile, there is a dimple on the upper right side of her chin.
There are a few identifiable marks on the young womans body. One being a inch long scar under her knuckle, slightly on the left side of her index finger on her right hand. She also have a scar in the shape of a near perfect triangle on the inside of her right ankle where she fell off a bike and her foot got wrapped in the chain when she was ten.
For her clothing choice, Haley can typically be found wearing a band t-shirt of some kind, and skinny jeans. A extra hair band as well as her rubber US Army bracelet can be found on her right wrist at all times. She prefers dark colors, and will never be found wearing something pink. Though she despises them, Haley will wear a dress on very special occasions. Her hair is found either worn down or in a ponytail. A leather cord necklace with a dragon pendant wrapped around a crystal can be found around her neck at all times. Her drawstring bag, a gift from her mother, Hecate, is typically found hanging from one shoulder. For footwear, she typically wears combat boots or converse. She doesn't particularly care for make-up, though she will wear mascara.
PersonalityOn the outside looking in, Haley is one of the most happy, socially awkward people that you could ever meet. Always saying something goofy, and having a way with words, the girl is the type to almost always have a smile on her face and is not quick to get angered. Having social anxiety is perhaps the reason for her social awkwardness, which causes her to say and do really random things in public. Haley is the type of girl that may come off as a bish from time to time. Some may say that the girl is violent, with her outbursts of random, crazy, violent sayings but she probably won't choke you with a marshmellow. However, that's the coverup that she puts on. The truth is, Haley suffers from depression. The girl tends to keep her emotions bottled inside and simply does her best to release them through her training.
Haley is a very loyal person, and will do practically anything for her friends. She doesn't trust or get attached to to many people, so when and if you hurt her, expect her to cut you out of her life completely. A promise means everything, and she will never break one.
She is typically found reading or listening to music. Her hang out spots include the stables, library or woods. Stubborn as they come, she sometimes has trouble accepting things as how they are. She is also very sarcastic and tends to make very dark humored jokes.
The young woman hates drama, gossip, and any other thing of the sort. She can typically be seen hanging out with the guys at school, because she considers females to much drama. Of course, if you ask her how she is doing, you will receive a great and a goofy thumbs up. Not being able to express herself truthfully angers her to no end, though, just like her true feelings, she doesn't let it show. In short, the girl is a half read book. To know her, you must first know the whole story.
HistoryHaley was left on the door step of her father's house nine months after a one night stand with Hecate. The man wasn't sure how to act to the brief note telling him to take care of the child, or his to explain this all to his girlfriend, Sarah. However, he didn't feel right handing her over to get tossed around in the foster care system, so he began to care for her; Sarah wasn't particularly pleased about the news, but went along with his decision. Four months after Haley arrived on their doorstep, the happy couple was married.
Haley's early childhood was normal enough. She was made a big sister at the ages of four and five. She started elementary school at the age of five as well. At school, she found her love for books. It was clear that the little girl had an active imagination, as she loved to tell stories to her class. Her grades were good, she was happy. All of her life, Haley had seen strange things. However, around the age of eight, these things became more prominent.
She started to see monsters on the playground, and ghosts at the mall. When she first started seeing ghosts, she didn't realize that these people were invisible to everyone else, not that they were dead. Little Haley would talk to these ghosts in public, causing her to get questionable looks from her family, teachers, and strangers. At the age of nine, one of the teachers suggested that she speak to the school counselor, as it was a little out of the normal to still have imaginary friends at this age. Haley didn't completely understand why she was being made to talk to someone, but she went along with a few sessions. She gathered quickly what was going on, however, and stopped talking about what she seen in public a little after six months of seeing the counselor. Hearing the teachers talk to her parents about seeing things that 'weren't there' started to make her think something was wrong with her.
At the age of eleven, Haley began to be bullied by the other kids. They had no basis for doing so - just the normal elementary school stuff. The children wanted someone to make fun of, and she just so happened to be the victim. This caused her to be an outsider, and pull away from most of the other children. She continued to see the ghosts and mythological things as well. Centaurs running across the fields; Cyclopes walking the streets.
At the age of fifteen, she made a new friend - Kevin. Over a years time, she and Kevin grew close, sharing secrets and laughing together in the back of the class. Haley even told the boy about the things that she seen. For the first time in a long time, Kevin was the only person that didn't think she was crazy. However, the other children were mean to Kevin as well. He was a quiet guy, and therefore he was different; the kids didn't like different. When Haley turned sixteen, Kevin started acting strange. It was like he was on high alert, always looking out for something or someone. He hardly spoke anymore. He and Haley grew distant. Two months after her sixteenth birthday, a hellhound tried to attack her. Kevin defended her, but tried to act as if nothing happened after they had gotten to safety. Haley wasn't about to stand for it. She kept pressuring her friend until he gave her the information that she wanted. At first, Haley thought he was insane, but as she took the time to piece together the strange parts of her life with the new information, the more it made sense. Kevin proceeded to explain this to her parents as well. The decision to send her to Olympus Academy was unanimous.
She packed her bags and was sent to OA that school year where she was given a place to stay. It was nice to have a place to go to with people who were like her, but it took some time to get used to. Her first two years at OA, she just attended the school for the normal school year. She wanted to try and get the normal high school experience. High School turned out to be a nightmare for her. The kids got meaner, the monsters still tried to attack, putting everyone that she was around in danger. She began to blame herself for small things at first; nothing she did anymore was right. She wasn't happy with her appearance or personality, and kept trying to change herself. It seemed like no matter where's she went, she never fit in, not even at OA. She has opted into being a year round student this year.
If you asked her, she wouldn't be able to tell you what went wrong to make her feel the way she does. There wasn't any major childhood trauma or anything else of the sort. She tried making friends at OA, only to fail over and over. She was awkward, and always seemed to say the wrong thing. By the age of fifteen she had all but completely isolated herself from the world. The only friends she needed were her music, books and pens. She channeled her frustration and sadness into her training, staying in the practice arena for hours at a time. More often than not, Haley came back to the appartments with bruises and cuts everywhere. She aimed to try and be the best at something; swordsmanship and hand to hand combat seemed to be two things that it was good to be good at.
To this day, Haley still isolates herself, though she is trying to be more outgoing. So far, it only seems to work 10% of the time.
Godly ParentHecate - Goddess of the Mist, Magic, Crossroads and Moon.
Relationship With Godly ParentHaley has never met her mother, though aspires to be like her as far as her magic is concerned. She will happily listen to the stories of her brothers and sisters and how they feel about their mother, as a way to get to know her. The young woman wishes to meet her godly parent one day, but doesn't get her hopes up to much.
Demigod Abilities-Thanks to her mother, Haley has a power known as Mist Manipulation, meaning that she controls the veil between the mundane and mythical worlds. For example, the young woman can make herself seem closer or further from you. She can also manipulate articles of clothing, hair color, and the features of someones face. She can disguise objects, create new objects, or make them disappear completely from view. Haley can basically make you see what she wants.
-Due to Hecate's affiliation with her torches, Haley can throw fire from her hands.
-Hecate is known as the mother of empousai, and through a long, hard, grueling process, Haley has learned to create them herself. They aren't as strong as her mothers, in the sense that you can kill them by simply slicing off their heads and they are only about two feet tall. She can call them to her aid in times of battle, and can only have three at any given time.
-Potion Brewing/Creation: Through reading various potion books and doing some experimenting Haley is a master at brewing certain potions. She sells them for profits around school.
-Laughing potion: takes fifteen minutes to make. Puts the drinker into a fit of hysterical laughter for an hour. Green in color. Side affects include laughing.
-Love potion: takes a week to make, and lasts for two weeks. Red in color. The drinker will fall in to a deep infatuation with the first person they see after drinking the potion. Side affects include two hundred missed calls, sweet texts that make you want to puke, theft of all your hoodies and an annoying human pet that won't leave your side for a full fourteen days.
-Calming potion: Takes two days to make, lasts for eight hours. Clear in color. Drinker will experience a calming affect that will eventually result in a blissful, light sleep. This potion helps to calm the persons nerves after a trauma or before a test. It won't make you forget what is making you upset, but rather help you to handle it in a way that doesn't appear to be a mental break down. Perfect for people with anxiety.
Truth potion: Two weeks creation process, lasts until all three questions are answered, and appears a milky white in color. The drinker of this potion will have to answer three questions completely honest. Chose your questions wisely.
Puking potion: Three hours creation time; lasts fifteen minutes. Appears orange in color, and produces a foul odor that is usually compared to that of gym socks. Anyone who drinks this potion will experience uncontrolled vomiting for a full fifteen minutes immediately after drinking it.
Energy potion: Takes one day to make, lasts for three days. Blue in color. Affects include absolutely no sleep for a full seventy-two hours. After the affects wear off, this potion will cause the drinker to sleep for a full three days afterward.
Though all of these potions have their certain colors, all of them are nearly tasteless. Some people may experience a slight after taste of strawberries from the love potion, lemons from the energy potion, etc.
These are the potions that Haley specializes in, and are guaranteed to work. If you need a different potion made, you are more than welcome to ask. However the price may be high, and it will take a while to make through a hectic process of trial and error.
-Has a solid white Samoyed named Nala.
-Owns a drawstring bag that holds an infinite number of items. All items must be able to fit in the bag, however.
