In The Mirror
The daughter of Aphrodite is but of course a natural beauty. Her oval shaped head that also has light pink lips. Her lips are medium sized and dimples are seen whenever she smiles brightly. Birdie's eyes can appear a grayish blue at times and a brighter, ocean blue at other times. On rare occasions, they look purple. Her eyes twinkle like stars. She has dark brown hair that has a few darker streaks. Her hair has naturally beachy waves that she doesn't really like to apply heat to since it's unhealthy and makes her hair feel damaged afterwards. Her height is 5'7 and is just above average. A slender body but she does have muscle. She doesn't apply much makeup besides a little eye makeup and lip gloss. Not that she really needs it. Also, on the back of her neck is a Jonquil flower.
Clothing Style:Birdie usually wears strictly black and white. Boring yes but oh well. On occasion she does wear silver or gold though. Birdie loves proper clothes. She will not wear anything that is pink due to the fact that she heard they were colors that represent Aphrodite. Due to her genes, however, she
is a fashionista. It isn't even on purpose but when you're the daughter of Aphrodite, you cannot handle a bad coordinate. Her outfits are practically
always on point.

Personality:♦ Blunt ♦ Kind at heart ♦ Dreamer ♦ Scared
What would you expect the daughter of a goddess such as Aphrodite to be like? The goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. Would you expect a flirty nature and undeniable charm? An urge for romance as she searches for love? Beauty which she flaunts for all to see? A kind and giving heart as she walks with elegance? Flirty, no but she
does indeed have charm.
Birdie can come off as a person that doesn't want to get to know you. Proper and organized is what she is. She is a sweetheart but she's a sweet heart that has a hard time with people. Birdie has an enormous wall around her that is thick and tall. Her relationship with trust is thin and merely there. Upon meeting someone, she will not speak much. It's that second meeting that means something. Her first meetings usually go fine but she just doesn't know what to expect of those around her. She doesn't know who is putting up a farce and who is actually being genuine. She can be pretty rude though. However, she just loves innocent people. At least, seemingly innocent people.
Birdie, a girl that can seem rather haughty but that isn't quite true. She actually has rather low self confidence on the inside. Birdie has always known that the confident and prideful like to feed on the weak. She knows that she does not like to be stuck up but she will put up a farce in order to not have to deal with certain things. When you get to know her, you would be surprised at some of the things that come out of her mouth. At times they can be cruel but at other times they can be extremely sweet.
She has always been one to be straightforward. If she thinks of someone as a friend, they'll know to the point of twisting that affection and thinking of it as romantic love. She will be loyal to them and help them in their time in need. Keep in mind though that she is blunt and she usually won't sugarcoat things. When it comes to love, besides her power, she has no idea about her own. However, Birdie is a romantic. She loves those romantic stories but she knows that they aren't real and she will never expect it to happen to her. 2 things that she has always been interested in are stars and flowers. She knows pretty much every star name, constellation, and flower out there. Ever since she was young she was obsessed with them.
Smart. That's for sure. But it'd have to be science she had the upper hand in. But she wasn't a fan in school so she stuck with being a violin prodigy.
Birdie, if you haven't noticed, likes to do what she wants. She isn't a "bad girl" rebel or anything but she won't be following any crowds and don't worry about peer pressure. Birdie just wants to do as she does and drift through life.
Background:Little miss Birdie. Little miss Birdie's father was just a plain man that happened to have
extremely good looks and was good at wooing ladies. Something he was not, however, was well off financially and mentally. Her father and Aphrodite had met by chance one day at a nice restaurant. Her father had just finished off a date and he encountered a beauty that looked like a goddess and evidently, was one. He automatically fell for her. His deep affection started with a little bit of stalking. Just to get some information before he finally went for it and asked her out. He had on his only expensive outfit and a bouquet of roses. Aphrodite said yes, of course, as vulnerable to such a gesture. And later they had Birdie. But not before Aphrodite found out the truth. That the man she had slept with was a
poor, unfortunate soul. He had no money and there was no way that she would be taking care of a child that was from a bad upbringing. Even though her father spent some of the only money he had left on her, it was no good. One day, she was just gone. Poof.
With Aphrodite gone, her father was left with Birdie. A name he had given her 1 month after she was gone. He had seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker outside when he was walking in a forest in his home in Europe. Have you ever seen a Great Spotted Woodpecker? It's so simple yet so beautiful. 3 different colors that all meant something very specific to him. Red, a representation of burning passion. Desire. Love. Black, a color that supposedly associates with fear and the unknown. Because what does mankind fear more than the unknown? And white. White is so simple. A sheet of paper can represent purity. It can represent a successful beginning. That was why he named her Birdie and 10 years later, he put a collar around her neck that said so before leaving her in front of an orphanage in the rain at 10 years old.
At 10 years old, Birdie was a girl that rarely ever showed any expression on her face. A smile was never there and her eyes seemed lifeless. Her father had somewhat taken care of her for 10 whole years. Of course, he was filled with a small amount of love for her and her doll like face didn't help that it reminded him of her mother. Birdie's father would often come home drunk and at times he would get violent. Nothing too bad but just enough. However, Birdie had realized something. No matter the pain, she couldn't
feel it. She couldn't feel it even if it left a mark and that scared her, usually causing her to cry from that rather than from pain. She would later find out that she had a case of congenital analgesia. This scared her because as a child, her heart was practically empty. She help little to no love for her father and her mother was just a whore she had heard stories about. She didn't feel sad about her situation but she didn't feel happy either. She just felt... unlucky.
The orphanage was a decent place. The mothers there were about as kind as they could be and the kids weren't of importance to her. She just stayed away from them for the most part. When she was 12 years old, she was adopted by an old couple that were both in their 60's and 70's. Sweet people they were and on the verge of death as well. The couple had longed for children for as long as they could remember. They already had one child that was 14 when she came into the family. A conceited and annoying teenager that wasn't a fan of Birdie at first. They had a young child of 10 years of age but he died from cancer 3 years before they adopted Birdie. So there she was with a new brother and a new set of parents.
Birdie had finally found that something that she was missing. That void in her heart had been filled. Her parents were very well off. They were even considered filthy rich by the size of their home. She took care of them as much as she could and they did the same. Her brother, Allen, wasn't easy to deal with. As they got older, he got even more irritating. A pervert and a brat is what he was. One night he had sneaked into her room when she was 13 and he was 15. What he attempted to do, she'll never know but she hit him as hard as she could, knocking him over and causing him to hit the size of the bed. He was in a coma for a little over 2 months. Birdie felt nothing but guilt and shame. She couldn't feel pain so she would never know how it felt when she hit him. After that, her brother held a grudge against her.
Birdie felt immense guilt and shame. She always felt like her parents wouldn't love her as much even though they said that they had forgiven her. She just couldn't feel right and always wanted to make up for it. So, she got straight A's throughout school, began to learn the violin, and joined a self defense class since her parents felt that she needed to be able to protect herself without killing anyone. Birdie had all this strength that she was practically afraid to use. And she had something else that she didn't have any idea she had.
As Aphrodite's daughter, she obviously had powers. Powers that she didn't know she had. It was at 16 in high school when she met a guy. This guy was like her biological father. He didn't know of limits. He constantly came to pursue her and Birdie was frustrated. At one point, she accidentally used her charm-speak to tell him to go and die. This wouldn't have worked if he wasn't in love with her but he was. The next day, he was found dead in his bedroom and holding a gun. That was when Aphrodite came into her life.
Aphrodite knew that she needed help. She told her that she was to go to Olympus Academy but Birdie refused, saying that she wanted nothing to do with her. However, after Aphrodite had explained, she then decided that she had to listen. She needed to figure out how to use these powers. So far, she has had a pretty good school life.

Relationship With Godly Parent:Birdie and Aphrodite don't have the best mother-daughter relationship. With Birdie thinking of Aphrodite as a bitchy slut and Aphrodite adoring her daughter for her beauty but not enough. Aphrodite still feels as though she is the child of a failure and those genes may be inside of her. It doesn't really matter to Birdie though. She just wants to
not become a whore like her mother and to instead learn to just control her powers.
Godly Abilities:Charmspeaking~Charmspeak is a type of hypnotism or persuasion in which it allows the speaker to convince someone else to do or get whatever they want.
