[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]







[ APATHETIC ] Unless it has to directly do with her (and even then it's got to hold her interest) she quite literally could not care less. If she's showing you attention, it's probably because she finds you amusing, not because she cares. [break]
[ARROGANT] She's pretty and she knows it. She's not going to apologize for that. She's too pretty to worry over trivial things like practice and classes and has no problem telling that to anyone who asks.[break]
[CAREFREE] She tends to go with the flow. Again, unless it directly affects her, she lets things be. She has no desire to be a leader or to be hoisted and regaled with titles and honors. She's perfectly content with being known as having a pretty face. [break]
[CHARMING] When she wants to be charming, she can be. If the urge hits her, she can downright charm the pants (figuratively speaking of course) off of anyone, usually without having to use her powers. A combination of reading people and sensing their relationships make it easy for her to make someone feel like they're the only person in the world that matters.  [break]
[BRAZEN] With great beauty comes great boldness. If she does stumble upon something that upsets her general carefree attitude she tends to react quite boldly and quickly to amend the situation. She has no issue confronting any of the most fearsome fighters in camp if they dare to do something that irks her. [break]
[UNATTATCHED] She's used to hearing that she's beautiful, that is no surprise to her nor anything she needs to hear from a stranger. She tends to cycle through  boyfriends as much as most campers switch shirts due to losing interest quickly. Unless they're something uniquely special...she's not going to hold onto them long. [break]
[SECRET STRATEGIST] Relationships dominate the world. Whether it's friendship, love, loyalty, or family ties...relationships are the single-most driving force of almost any conflict. Being a child of Aphrodite, Mirabella has a deep understanding of that and what drives those feelings. She could, if she ever wanted to...which she never has thus-far, easily draw up strategies and battle plans that work against weaknesses and cut straight-through to a winning outcome. Unfortunately for her camp, she doesn't care enough to be bothered. [break]

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]BIOGRAPHY

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]







Mirabella was born and given to a loving father. At least that's what she's always been told. She never actually knew her father. She never truly knew her mother either, again only what she had been told of her growing up. Mirabella was born to a handsome and romantic photographer whose work was well known and highly sought after in the Northern Americas. He was famous for thought-provoking images that stirred emotions and feelings in things as powerful as nature or even as one-dimensional as fashion. He had been at the peak of his career when he was gifted with an infant after a one-night stand. He had immediately fallen in love with the baby, but knew he couldn't raise her on his own. He quickly hired a kind and capable young woman to help take care of the child while he was on location during shoots.[break]
[break]
Mirabella had been two months old when her father and a model who he was with had gotten home early one afternoon. The man and the model had walked in to see Mirabella in the arms of, not the loving and kind woman who he had hired, but a creature not of this world. The man had attacked the beast and the model had grabbed the baby, running with her as the man fought off the creature. He wounded it enough to make the monster vanish, but not without paying with his life.[break]
[break]
The model, another daughter of Aphrodite, had stopped in her tracks as none other than the goddess of love herself appeared before her. She offered her a deal: take care of the child and raise her well and she would land the coveted cover spot of the most well-known fashion magazine in the world. The young nineteen year old had hesitated and Aphrodite sweetened the deal with the heart of a young man who would grow to become a very well-known, very handsome actor, given to her on the very next day that the girl was escorted into camp on her sixteenth birthday.[break]
[break]
The model, Lucy, agreed and that was that. Mirabella grew up in a small three-bedroom apartment shared by four aspiring demigods. Two were children of Aphrodite and the other two children of Eris. She grew up knowing who she was and what was expected of her. She was taught from the moment she could talk that image was everything. The idea of physical perfection being the only thing important in life engrained into every sense of her being. She was taught how to use her charmspeak to get her way and that her powers were not only her birthright and acceptable to use, but that it was disrespectful to not use them. She was taught of the important things in life like being worshiped and wanted. She was told of the bargain her mother had made with Lucy and knew that love was not a real thing, but merely a construct of someone's will forced upon another and that at any given time that love would and should go away, to make more room for another's adoration of course.
[break]
[break]
Mirabella attended school and had no major issues until she came home one day excited about the science fair. She had been in third grade and was quickly reprimanded. School was necessary only because it was required. Studying and getting involved in classes was not, and therefore highly unacceptable. She was too pretty for that and was reminded that boys didn't want girls who placed academics above appearances.[break]
[break]
The girl continued to live that life, Lucy and the others who she affectionately referred to as her Aunts shaping every part of her life. Every part except one. His name was Sam and he had stolen her heart. She hadn't known it then of course. She hadn't even known it throughout the entire year of  their dating. All she had known was that he made her laugh, her heart beat wildly in her chest when he was around, and his smile made her forget her name. He had been the only person who seemed to see past the pretty face and saw her. The actual her. The her who she had quietly began finding along the way.[break]
[break]
But as they say, all good things must come to an end, and oh how it did. Before her sixteenth birthday her Aunts began telling her about Camp Half-Blood. They told her all about her cabin, her new home and all of the expectations that they would have of her. The most important bit of information that they shared though, was of the rite of passage. They asked if there was a boy she was into and she had shyly spoken Sam's name. They told her it was not only necessary to break his heart and end things, but a requirement. That she wouldn't be allowed into the cabin or camp and that Lucy would never get her handsome husband.[break][break]

So she broke his heart. She ended things between them easily enough, with a cold phone call. She had thought the worst was over but he hadn't accepted it. He had tried fighting for her, for them. She had come home crying, begging them to tell her what to do, how she could fix this and still get in, but they made it clear. To earn her mother's approval and get into camp, to repay the debt that Lucy had taken on her behalf, she needed to break his heart. Mira had taken every ounce of feeling she had and locked it very deep inside of her. She called his best friend and used charmspeak on the boy, making out with him outside of the school, knowing full and well Sam couldn't miss it. [break]
[break]
The act worked and whoever the person was that she had been becoming with Sam died that day. She left for camp a few weeks after that and her mother gifted her with a magical necklace upon her arrival. She became who she is now and never looked back. A year after breaking Sam's heart she returned to the school, but he hadn't been there. She hadn't seen him in years though he comes across her mind every now and then, even all these years later. Looking back, she supposes it was love. Even if it was a love based upon fairytales and some magical higher purpose. The thing that mortals pray to her mother for without knowing that it doesn’t exist. At least not in the sense they demand. A sort of first-love that stays with you based upon the nostalgia of being young and naïve. At least that's what she tells herself.[break]
[break]
When camp burned down she begrudgingly moved along with her cabin mates to the new camp but doesn't intend on staying for long.

[attr="class","hopelovetitle"]POWERS, SKILLS & WEAPONS

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]







Charmspeak: [MAJOR] Mira has the power of charmspeak, which allows her to influence others with enhanced vocal persuasiveness. She can do this without it tiring her too much. If the person has a strong dislike of her, she must concentrate very, very hard and even then it's a battle of wills over if she's successful or not. Children of the big three tend to be less susceptible to it. [break][break]
Amokinesis: [MINOR] As a daughter of Aphrodite, Mira has a level of control over the emotions of love, lust, etc., but on a much smaller scale than that of her mother. She tends to amplify feelings of lust and love, but they must already be there. Similar to feeding a flame with gasoline, the sparks have to first be there for her to amplify them. She cannot make someone who absolutely hates her immediately fall in love with her or anything like that of the sort. If they do have any tiny inkling of feeling for her, she can amplify it though. [break][break]
[DEMIGOD GIVEN]Similar to most, if not all, children of Aphrodite she is fluent in French, can change her physical appearance at will and like other demigods has enhanced speed, strength and durability. [break][break]

GODLY GIFT:
Upon her claiming, her mother gifted her with a magic gold pendant necklace set with rare pink diamonds. When she wears this necklace she has an aura of beauty that makes it almost impossible for others to actively harm her. EX: she could charge at them with a sword drawn and they would not strike against her. While wearing the necklace her charmspeak is also enhanced. [break][break]
