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

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]

[ CONTRADICTORY ] - If you asked Naddy to describe herself, she would find it a bit difficult to make herself sound like a sane person. She is so many contradicting traits: she's fairly on the straight and narrow, but she also finds herself enjoying a reckless side of life, especially when she's drinking or out with friends; she would consider herself serious, focused, and detail-oriented at work, but she also has a very shallow sense of humour and will dissolve into fits of laughter at random things. On the outset she's a rule-follower, but Naddy is very well aware that there are plenty of scenarios in life where the rules just have to be broken. She does get a bit of joy pushing the rules to its limits, though, but would prefer not to break the law in a capacity that would get her caught or in trouble.
[break][break]
[ JUDGY ] - Nadine tries to keep open-minded and lives her life trying to put herself in other people's shoes, but she can get a bit judgy, and it would be hard to change her mind about someone or something once she's decided on it. She does tend to make decisions based on her first impression, but she tries to make leeway or reasons why a person or situation may be. That does not quite mean that Nadine would naively forgive and forget, especially when someone has made a mistake or offense against herself or those she cares about.
[break][break]
[ HOLDS GRUDGES ] - To be quite honest, Nadine tends not to forget. She can remember a person's good deeds and favours provided to her, and she will try to repay it more than expected, but she also is not one to forget when a wrong is done to her. She may pretend to smile and forgive, but once her trust is broken, it is quite difficult to get back in full. She can extend an olive branch and give second chances, but Nadine will be looking at every opportunity for her trust to be broken again if it has been broken before.
[break][break]
[ WITTY ] - Despite her strong and somewhat negative personality, Naddy enjoys witty humour and banter. She will always try to be the first to say something funny - sometimes in a bit of a rude manner - because she does try not to take life too seriously. It is also her way to break any tensions or show that she shouldn't be taken too seriously, because there are very few things that would get her full and one hundred percent attention or focus, and she would feel quite badly if people decided to take her seriously when she herself doesn't. Naddy also enjoys making other people laugh, because she feels it validates her wittiness and humour. Hey, if you're not laughing, you're crying, right? And Nadine would very much rather laugh.
[break][break]
[ PROCRASTINATOR ] - For sure, Naddy is a massive procrastinator, dislikes cleaning (especially washing the dishes), and has a love-hate relationship with her gym and exercise in general. Because she used to be quite intelligent and capable when she was young, she has decided that she can speedrun things and tends to wait for the pressure of the deadline looming in the very near horizon to act as the spark that lights and fuels her muse to actually get things done. It has caused her immense stress, as well as depression that she's not good enough when she fails.
[break][break]
[ RISK TAKER ] - She can be a bit reckless and careless, but she's always got her brain on, she just doesn't always listen to it. This is especially the case when she's with friends, and when she's had a bit to drink. It's not that she's stupid and willing to play games with her life; to be quite honest, Nadine thinks the risks she takes are quite calculated. But it is sometimes quite fun to toe the line, to go sky-diving, to walk in the middle of the road at night in the middle of town, to go bar hopping in strange cities and trusting in fellow drunk strangers to get her from one place to the next. She is keen to try all sorts of new things, but she believes she is always in control of herself and would never actually endanger herself.
[break][break]
[ CHAOTIC ] - There is nothing Naddy enjoys more than chaos. Not only does it happen to her or around her quite often, but she also actively seeks it. Despite all her forceful declarations that she prefers not to be part of any kind of drama, the truth is Nadine thrives being on the fringes of it. She doesn't necessarily like to be right in the middle of things, because spectating chaos is so much more fun than being dragged around with it, but it can't be denied that she will sometimes whip up crazy schemes just for the fun of it. Life gets boring for Naddy if it's too peaceful.
[break][break]
[ STAGNANT ] - Another irritating trait about Nadine is that if she's not naturally good at something, she doesn't put too much effort into it. That being said, the things that do come easily to Nadine, she excels in, so that's something she's got going for her. She's happy to live her life as it is, not really aspiring to be anything more than what and who she is. There are no big life goals that she strives for, nor any real growth that she wants to make as a person. She has been exactly who she is for too long, and while she changes herself up every now and then for the fun of it, there's never really any point in her life where she decides it's time to leave the chaos behind.

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

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]


[ MOTHER ] - discordia, roman goddess of chaos[break]
[ FATHER] - frederick carrio, demigod legacy of invidia[break]
[ STEP-MOTHER ] - melissa carrio, mortal[break][break]
Years at camp: 10[break]
Years at New Rome: 1[break][break]
1. the beginning[break][break]
they met when frederick was young and dissatisfied with the corruption and politics of the government, turning his back on organized society and falling in with a group opposing it. they did their best to interrupt the flow of dirty money, and it was this level of chaos that attracted discordia to him. they lived together in the fringes of society for a short period of time, and when discordia left, frederick hardly noticed; his work with the anti-government group took up most of his time and focus. it was only when nadine was brought to his remote outpost that frederick decided it was perhaps time to settle down. by that point, the disorganization and infighting of the rebel group had disillusioned frederick to their beliefs, and so he returned to society to do right by his daughter.[break][break]
that didn't mean he conformed to the government and its rules completely - the rebellious nature and dislike of corrupt, uppity authority figures had always been a part of his personality. he found himself with a religious group, got married, and raised his new family under the teachings of the institution. it was perhaps contradictory of him to put his faith in a system that was not unlike the government he had opposed in his youth, but he believed in its teachings and followed his religious leaders with zeal. despite his opposition to authority, he had found his faith in the religious group; perhaps a better system and a seemingly better ideal was all he had been looking for.[break][break]
his new wife, although feeling quite estranged from the baby naddy, still did her best to become the mother she needed. she did her best to support the family by working her desk job while frederick was the stay at home father, and this did mean frederick was the one who raised nadine the most, and therefore she had the strongest bond with her father.[break][break]
2. little me[break][break]
undoubtedly, naddy was raised in quite a strict and religious household. because of her father's unflinching focus in making sure his daughter got the best of what they could afford, nadine could read and write from a very early age. frederick was quite a proud man, especially when it came to achievements, and so he constantly praised his daughter for being intelligent, while berating her when she stepped out of line or failed at something. he did allow her to play and explore, but pulled on his authority when it was time for her to behave. he had an explosive temper and went into angry rants whenever something went wrong, always telling naddy that it was because she had missed to pay attention to what he was saying.[break][break]
this mix of telling everyone she was intelligent while also being furious when she made a mistake meant naddy grew up quite scared of failing. her marks in school allowed her to skip a couple of grades, much to her father's delight, but it did instill a sense of overconfidence in her that led to her procrastinating in her teenage years. but her success was never truly because she wanted to be the best, but because her father expected her to be and would be mad and disappointed if she wasn't.[break][break]
this constant strive to have to be the best often meant naddy was bullied in school for being the teacher's pet. she was often kind and well-behaved in public, but she did indulge in some bullying of her own, particularly to those younger than her. she often threatened her younger cousins that she would leave and go back home if they didn't hand their toys over, and in grade school, because she went to a small private school, also took her turn bullying any new students. to nadine, it only made sense, because it was what she had gone through when she had first arrived. she was now one of the cool kids because she'd survived her bullies and had been 'friends' with the others for a while - it was the newbies' turn.[break][break]
3. we are young[break][break]
all the chaos that had occurred throughout her childhood - them constantly moving house, never finding anywhere to settle, her father's 'clashes of personalities' with their neighbours, barely escaping some natural disasters - weren't really taken seriously, or with the thought of anything else other than accidents. however, when naddy was twelve, her great-grandmother cassandra passed on. on her deathbed, cassandra admitted to her last living grandson - frederick - that he had been a demigod legacy all along. she had wanted him and his mother - her daughter rosalita - to live in new rome with her, but rosalita had refused. she had fallen in love with a mortal man and had wanted to live with him in the mortal world. cassandra had kept her peace, respecting rosalita's wishes, but worried constantly for frederick. she had finally decided to tell the truth to frederick, especially considering nadine herself would also be a demigod legacy.[break][break]
the truth of his heritage shocked frederick, and when he remembered nadine's birth mother telling him who she was all those years ago, he made the choice to bring his family back to new rome despite rosalita's wishes. cassandra had bequeathed her house to frederick as her next of kin - cassandra and rosalita had not gotten along for most of rosalita's adult life - and frederick took that opportunity to move and keep nadine safe.[break][break]
shortly after that, and upon discussing with other demigod families in new rome, frederick pulled nadine out of mortal school and sent her to the wolf house. nadine tried her best mostly because her father expected it of her, of course, but there was no denying that she was completely out of her depth. it was a shock to her, suddenly having a whole new life, but she would persevere if only to not let her father down. lupa's training was unlike anything she had ever experienced before, and it was only with the greatest of mercies that she finally graduated from the wolf house. naddy was by no means good at physical combat, but she was keen and determined not to fail. with some strings pulled from new rome (courtesy of her father), nadine was provided a letter to get into second cohort.[break][break]
4. change your life[break][break]
being surrounded by other serious romans in camp jupiter suited naddy's serious personality when she was younger, but breaks into the mortal world for quests made nadine realise just how fun it was to not have authority figures around. for the first time in her life, she didn't have her overbearing father's scrutiny over her every move, watching like a hawk for her to make a mistake, and while naddy was at first cautious, she soon embraced her freedom with frightening enthusiasm. it was no longer fun to be the rule-follower all the time, and while nadine made sure to toe the line very well and never actually get caught, her true personality began to shine.[break][break]
she learned to find patterns and learn where and when a rule was most flexible to be bent. she learned to experiment, to test the boundaries, to pretty much go a little crazy. boys had never been an option when she had her father watching her every move, and with the lack of his eyes or influence on her shenanigans in camp jupiter, naddy went from crushing to flirting to kissing very quickly. she was in quite the free-fall when she was away from her parents; escapades into the mortal world also allowed her to try her first sip of alcohol.[break][break]
despite all these new things she was trying, though, naddy made sure to keep up her front. she still did well in camp jupiter, good enough to be recommended for centurion at eighteen. she had always been responsible when she needed to be, and so she did well enough by her role and by the expectation set for her by her father. but it became quite clear that she had relaxed in many other things, including her own self, because it was always more fun to be the funny one in a group of serious people.[break][break]
5. good enough[break][break]
as the years passed, she grew more distanced from her parents and their strict rules. as soon as she was legal to drink, she got drunk as often as she could on the few quests she was on, sometimes even volunteering just to get away and explore more. she was twenty-one when she started smoking, a habit she still carries to this day, although her parents have never known. she also fell in love with her first serious boyfriend around this time, and it all began to feel as though nadine was growing up.[break][break]
and then they broke up, and nadine decided life was much more fun to just enjoy being young and experimenting. upon graduating from camp jupiter at twenty-four after her ten years of service, she decided to take a few months in the mortal world and travel, exploring other countries and going bar-hopping, getting to know strangers and seeing how the rest of the world lived. the differences of cultures and beliefs and worldviews made naddy realise just how big the world was, and even though she knew she would be living in new rome because that was where her life was, she promised she would get out as often as she could just to learn and experience new things.[break][break]
she has been back at new rome and interning with the senate. it's a boring desk job, but at least she has her closest friends with her to keep from being driven crazy by her overprotective parents, who despite not sharing the house with her any more, still like to 'check in' and judge her life decisions, including jumping to conclusions about secret boyfriends in far away countries. naddy puts up with it all out of respect for them, but she dreams of a life on her own, far away on another continent.

[attr="class","hopelovetop"]



[ CHAOS MANIPULATION ] - chaos happens quite naturally around nadine, especially when she's in a particularly strong mood, whether that is hyper, mad, or depressed. it's not necessarily always physical chaos, as it can also just be emotional or psychological chaos affecting others around her. things can malfunction around her, miscommunications can occur around her and towards her, and people's concentration, focus, and emotional balance can be interrupted when she is around. to some extent, nadine can do this deliberately, especially when she's feeling particularly bored.[break][break]
weaknesses: it's not always something she can control, and she can't always stop it once it starts. it is limited by distance and proximity, and people who have stronger mental and emotional fortitude are less affected by it. nadine has less control over any physical manifestations of chaos, such as things breaking - these tend to just occur regardless of whether or not she uses her ability.[break][break]
[ MINOR BAD LUCK CURSES ] - as she is just a legacy of invidia, nadine doesn't actually know if the curses she bestows upon people - particularly vengeful ones - are actually her work, she just likes to think it is. more likely it really is just karma coming back to bite other people in the backside, but nadine can send that thought into the universe and contribute to it, right? at the very least, naddy will just hide a smirk and think they dang well deserve whatever they get.
