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

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



[ SWEET ] - pretty much the first word most people would use to describe evie is 'sweet'. she's very soft and soulful and shy, and she loves love. she's quite empathic, and she has never lost her temper at anyone or anything. because of this, she tends to avoid crowds, loud people, and bullies. evie has a bit of a sensitive disposition, and she's easily affected by other people's moods. as much as possible, evie will try to help anyone and everyone. she is one hundred percent the kind of person who will irritate others because she'll say 'sorry' after being told to stop saying sorry.
[break][break]
[ NAIVE ] - because this girl was raised by her religious mortal grandparents, evie doesn't know a lot about the world, and many things have been sugarcoated to keep her innocence. this has made her fairly optimistic; even though she might not always say it out loud, but evie always hopes for the best possible outcome. she's not completely stupid and expects it to be, but still she hopes. she's a firm believer in prayer, even if the gods she prays to aren't really the ones her mortal religious grandparents expect her to, especially since learning of her heritage as a demigod.
[break][break]
[ CARING ] - evie cares. a lot. about everyone and everything. she's got a bit of a bleeding heart syndrome. she will gladly give away the shoes from her feet if she sees someone needs it more. she can't ever leave people behind, or she can't stand seeing people hurt, emotionally or physically. she always puts herself as last in her list of priorities, and this often means she can be a bit of a pushover. she spent most of her high school years being jostled in hallways (during which she'd be the one to apologise) and being taunted by some of the meaner kids.
[break][break]
[ TRUSTING ] - despite the few bad experiences she's had in her life, though, evie obstinately tries to see the best in everyone. this can come across as patronising to some people who think she's being sarcastic, but evie genuinely believes everyone can reach their fullest potential. when a person apologies to her, no matter how bad an offense might have been, evie forgives them and truly believes they can be better people. she has not yet had someone really break her trust, so she's had no reason to not be trusting of everyone.
[break][break]
[ HARDWORKER ] - her soft appearance and personality can lead people to think that evie is afraid to get her hands dirty, but that's an incorrect assumption. evie is actually a hard worker - she gets into chores or cleaning or even combat training (even though she believes it should be a last resort, especially for herself). she exercises, climbs the ropes at camp half-blood, and even helps with injured campers in any way that she can. evie is not afraid or shy of working, and she enjoys the idea of self-improvement. however, she's not competitive in the least, and believes everyone is entitled to progress at their own pace.

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



[ MOTHER ] - darlene prestons, mortal[break]
[ FATHER ] - hypnos, god of sleep[break][break]
Claimed: No[break]
Years at camp: Two[break][break]
darlene prestons, you crazy woman. your religious parents never quite understood what went wrong with how they raised you. they were always polite, sweet - maybe not so open-minded, but they believed in something greater than them. you, meanwhile, never believed in much of anything. your entire life was a lesson in escapism, from the school you never graduated to the house you never stayed in to the family you abandoned. all you ever wanted to do was get out, even though you didn't really know what you wanted to get out of. maybe everything.
[break][break]
that's how he found you, you know, during one of your lulls in your party life style, crashing at the house of some friend of a friend of a friend. sleep was all you wanted, and sleep was all he gave. there's a certain peace in oblivion, in turning your back on having a functioning mind to surrender to the sweet kiss of nothingness. he stayed with you and you drowned in his influence. you never even spared a thought to your poor parents who were stuck at home wondering and worrying where you might have gone. you never much cared for anything.
[break][break]
when your little girl was born nine months later, you left her in the house you grew up in with the people you couldn't stand. she was just a blip in your existence, a consequence from a mistake that you easily solved: leave her behind just like you'd left everyone else behind. you didn't care about her before she was born, and you sure as heck didn't care for her after. you could barely even remember the guy; he was just some dream of a dream from ages ago, and she was just the bad aftermath. like the world's worst, longest hangover. it's a miracle you even bore her; maybe there's still some of that religious little girl in you, after all, no matter how much you wanted to erase her from identity.
[break][break]
without you in her life, your little girl grew up in a stable household, even if she had to call the adults in the house grandma and grandpa instead of mommy. they attended every show and tell, every graduation, every parent teacher interview. they were there for all her ups and downs, and they both prayed that she wouldn't turn out anything like you. they could have so easily abandoned her, could have easily just shaken their heads and told themselves they'd done all of this once already and look how it had paid them back. they could have turned you away, turned her away, but they forgave and forgot, and instead hoped and prayed. and that was how evie was raised.
[break][break]
nothing particularly special would happen to her, although you certainly never cared enough to check in. she looked funny to you; odd, bizarre, strange. haunting. she reminded you of a younger, more innocent you, seeing your own face on hers, seeing your own once-hopeful eyes in her own, and soft curly dark hair so much like yours had been when you'd been looking after it. you hated seeing the memory of what could have been, and so you avoided her like the plague. you hardly spared a thought for her. but it didn't matter, because she had an idyllic life and it didn't matter if it wasn't decorated in gold stars or detention notes; evie was perfectly happy with her average story.
[break][break]
that was, until a monster chased her out of her school and it was your grandparents who had to fret about what would happen to her because you made some choices you didn't even remember making. would you have cared if your child had been mauled by some cyclops when she was all of fifteen years old? probably not. you hardly cared about her at all. but i guess we'll never know, considering you never did know, and your own parents never even spared a thought about you because all they could think about was her.
[break][break]
luckily, she'd befriended a satyr at her school, someone who had known and had cared about her. he was the one who introduced himself to your parents, and told them about who evie's dad could be. pity you weren't around for that conversation, and your parents decided never to tell you. look at that: a god! you had actually bagged a real-life greek mythological being, and you were hardly lucid enough to remember his face. pathetic.
[break][break]
you didn't know it, but your daughter was brought to a camp with other people like her, about to live a life that you couldn't even begin to imagine. she watched kids with fire powers and water powers and lightning powers and gods-danged magic, and she sat shy and almost forgotten in the biggest cabin of them all. no one claimed her, you know. some of the kids, they wanted to be nice to this sweet girl with sad eyes and they told her her father's got to be apollo. but who were you to argue? you definitely couldn't say for sure either way.
[break][break]
then she met a boy, fierce and powerful and brave and beautiful, and he cared so much. he protected her and looked after her, and she blossomed like a sunflower in his care. he was there for her far more in those first few months of their friendship than you ever were for her entire life, and more's the pity, because evie had grown to become gentle and kind and even if you ever did decide to grovel your way back into her life, she would probably forgive you. her heart was always too good for her body, and definitely far too good for monsters like you.
[break][break]
if you'd ever cared to check in with your own daughter or your own parents, you would have known that the demigod camp - your daughter's second home and second family - had burned down. she and all the other kids who survived had to trek across the whole dang country to the west coast, the only other safe place for people like them. if you had ever cared to know anything about her, you would probably be surprised to find out that she could fight - only when she had to, of course - and survive and do whatever she needed to live. if you had ever loved her, you would have been happy to know that she of course had her guardian angel right along with her, never once leaving her side.
[break][break]
but you don't know any of that, do you, darlene prestons? you're absolutely and completely fine in your grand illusion of nothing ever matters, and you're never going to change.

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

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]


[ HYPNOKINESIS ] - as a daughter of hypnos, evie's main power involve causing other living things to fall asleep. however, as she is unclaimed and doesn't actually know who her father is, her powers are not yet something she knows of or can control. this power will always require touch when she eventually becomes claimed, but can eventually be trained so she can just be close to whoever she is putting to sleep. at the moment, all evie has experienced with this power is petting her cat, who eventually falls asleep in her lap, and giving her grandmother a head massage during her migraine and her grandmother falling asleep afterwards. evie puts it down to her 'magic healing hands', and she's predicted by fellow campers to be a child of apollo.
[break][break]
weaknesses: future weakness of this power will include lack of distance, and needing more effort and energy to put larger animals or people to sleep. the more powerful a will of a demigod, the less her power will affect them.
[break][break]
[ DREAMWALKER ] - a minor ability - and one that has helped with the running bet that she'll turn out to be a child of apollo - is that evie can see other people's dreams. this usually occurs when she's physically near them, and they are both asleep - it's like a subtle and accidental form of astral projection. sometimes, other people see her in their dreams, too, but no one would really put that down to her actually being in their mind. evie never likes to talk about what she sees in other people's dreams, instead choosing to subtly or wordlessly help them if they're hurting, or give / do something that would make them happy.
[break][break]
weaknesses: evie is unable to manipulate anyone's dream at all. she also doesn't always remember what the dreams are about, although the emotions in the dream often stay with her afterwards. physical distance and timing is also a requirement for the power to activate, and it also doesn't happen all the time. even if evie were to become conscious of this power, she would be unable to fully control when to enter other people's dreams.
