[/list] [/list][/indent] [color=E99FED][sub][b]Personality[/b][/sub][/color] [indent] The first thing you notice about Jules is the mischief in her eyes and the deviance in her smile. Although she’s lived at Camp for a few years now, the ways of the south haven’t been lost on her. Jules is a loyal and hardworking individual. An independent, honest and stubborn nature means that the whole world is subject to hearing her opinions. Jules is an overall carefree person who is always in search of her next adrenaline fix, and will happily drag along anyone she can convince. Jules has been called a ‘menace to society’ on more than a few occasions (most often after her tangents about overthrowing the US government). She’s a wild soul; a barefoot, cursing, tree climbing, thrill seeker with a middle finger for any authority figure. Jules considers herself a vengeful vigilante, often taking matters of justice into her own hands. She’s a creative girl with a strong wit, and a big heart. The young woman wakes up each day just trying to be better than she was the day before. [/indent] [color=E99FED][sub][b]History[/b][/sub][/color] [indent]Jules was born to a teenage mother in a small southern Alabama town. Kelly-Anne was known for getting into trouble and having a thing for older men. During a night out with her friends, Jules’s mother used her fake ID to have a few drinks at the local bar, and hit it off with a man who “had a few good stories and jokes to share” - as her mother would say. One thing led to another, and next thing you knew Kelly-Anne’s parents were condemning their sixteen year old daughter for having a child out of wedlock. They tried to convince Kelly-Anne to abort the child, but the young woman refused. After a few weeks of arguing, her parents kicked her out of their home and left her with zero resources. Kelly-Anne moved across town and ended up finding a new home with her best friend Amanda (Mandy) and her family. Jules’s childhood was chaotic. Her ‘aunt’ Mandy eventually got married and had five children of her own who Jules considers to be her cousins. Kelly-Anne dated off and on through the years while working as a bartender, though Jules never met any of her mothers partners. With so many people in the house, Jules was used to a noisy and fast paced environment from an early age. School wasn’t the best thing, but it also wasn’t the worst. Jules struggled during her early years with dyslexia and ADHD - just like all other demigods. Mandy and Kelly-Anne both did their best to help Jules with her dyslexia, but Kelly-Anne refused to ever put her daughter on any sort of medication, insisting that it would ‘take away Jules’s sparkle.’ Despite her foul mouth, inability to sit still, and overall need to be the class clown, Jules retained a C average throughout her public school career. The young woman has seen strange things all her life; Growing up in the south, Jules chalked it up to local folklore and legends, never imagining that the things she saw were real. She constantly was in and out of trouble with both her cousin and the local kids. Growing up in a small town, there wasn’t much other to do than steal some whiskey from dads liquor cabinet and break into the abandoned buildings and construction sites they could find. Small town ways kept anything from ever getting on to Jules’s record officially, but she spent a few nights in county out of the local forces hope that it would scare her straight. It never did. One of Jules best friends throughout middle school was a boy named James. He walked a little strange, but he always had snacks and would listen to Jules’s problems. One night, Jules convinced James to come along with her on a late night walk through town. They were having a good time for a while, but Jules had a strong gut feeling that she was being watched. Sharing her concerns with her friend, the pair began to head back home but were attacked by a Cyclop. They ran for their lives, eventually losing the monster behind them while James threw various objects in its direction. Once they had arrived at Jules house, the young woman broke down and began telling her mother everything; the strange sightings and that nights attack. Kelly-Anne could do nothing but sigh and shake her head, stating that she had a feeling something like this would happen one day. She went on a wild tangent about her own mother and how mental illness ran in the family. Kelly-Anne was adamant on having her child thrown into a psychiatric facility because ‘she was reminding her too much of her own mother’ - a complete 180 from her views on mental health during Jules’s childhood. Jules didn’t know what to think and begged James for help. She was only thirteen and didn’t know what else to do. James told her a story of a camp in New York for kids like her with ADHD and difficulties learning. It was only a summer camp, and school had already let out for the year - meaning that Jules could just pick up everything and go. She was young and confused, but she knew she could trust James, and a summer camp until her mother cooled off didn’t sound like the worst idea. Jules knew where her mother kept her extra cash from the tips she made at the bar, and snuck into her bedroom later that night to steal enough money for a train ticket for both her and James. The pair spent a few days hoping from different buses and trains to make it to New York. The journey was relatively smooth, and they got by without being directly attacked again. Once they arrived at the Camp, James began to explain more and more things to Jules. He went on explaining about the Greeks and their gods, powers, centaurs, something called ‘demi-gods’ - Jules was starting to think that James was the crazy one. It took a few weeks at Camp for Jules to understand everything that everyone was saying, and a few months after that to accept the fact that it might actually be true. She found a home with the Hermes kids and enjoyed all of the things Camp Half-Blood had to offer while secretly denying any truth to any of her new friends' tales - until the night she was claimed. Kelly-Anne wound up putting out a missing persons report for her daughter, which she eventually dropped after Jules managed to call her a few days after reaching Camp Half-Blood. Jules explained to her mother that James had invited her to a summer camp and that she wanted to stay there for a few months. Kelly-Anne reluctantly agreed after realising she didn’t have to pay for her child to be at the Camp. Over the next few months, Jules found a home at camp and tried to keep in contact with her mother until she received word from her aunt Mandy that Kelly-Anne had died in a drunk driving accident. Jules explained to Mandy that she had found a new home at this Camp and with her friend James, and received permission to continue her stay at Camp Half-Blood. Jules went back home that winter to see her family, and and ultimately decided that her being back home as putting her family in to much danger. She eventually came clean to Mandy and explained everything so that hopefully her second mother wouldn’t worry. Mandy was confused and upset, but she ultimately understood that Jules felt like she belonged in New York. She wished a young Jules well and sent her on her way. Jules now understands her heritage, and spends her days causing trouble and spreading days around Camp.
