Camper Name: Alyssa 'Allie' Thorton
Age: 16
Divine Parentage: Demeter
Appearance: Something like this
Allie is 6’2” and powerfully built, as is common among Cabin 4 Campers. She carries herself casually, with a slight forward lean from poor posture. While her skin is naturally quite pale, she gains a significant tan in summer and autumn months, and sports a distinct lack of cuts and callouses from work in the fields, which is much more atypical among the children of Demeter at camp. Her rich blonde hair is often compared to wheat, and is braided in summer. Her face carries a strong resemblance to her mother with softer definition in her facial features.
Known Abilities:
Demigod Physiology: Heroic physical abilities par standard for Camp Half-Blood, Allie has considerable endurance and strength befitting the long hours of work that she keeps.
Chlorokinesis: Able to control plants like nearly all Cabin 4, Allie is typically tending to the fields in assisting the growth of plants. She has focused more on control than volume, often espousing the benefits of an even growth season, but is capable of rapidly maturing plant life. Children of Demeter are able to detect and “feel” plant life nearby them and easily identify them and their uses. Additionally, plants cannot physically harm Allie, even with intent to injure her, thorns will slide off her skin, and crushing vines will only be able to hold her comfortably.
Passive Geokinesis: When working dirt and rock, Allie finds the earth does not resist her efforts, allowing for rapid progress to be made with everything from trowels, plows, shovels, to her own hands. Indeed, dirt seems to distance itself from her over time, rarely coming home from preparing the earth with grime on her.
Weapons:
Celestial Bronze Harpe (Sickle)
Seed Pouch: A gift from her mother, and a sign of her claiming, Allie possess a seed pouch which, when the name of a plant is spoken while it is open, will produce viable seeds for that plant in abundance that are particularly suggestable to the chlorokinesis of Children of Demeter. This has allowed her to produce thorny rose brush quickly, as well as produce medicinal herbs for combat applications. It will appear next to her at the beginning of each day as the sun rises.
Biography: Born in upstate New York to a farming family, Allie’s father was fancied by Demeter for his strong work ethic and respect for his craft. His first child, Allie had a very busy home life full of responsibilities, which only grew when her father married and her half-siblings were born. There were always questions about Allie’s parentage, especially as she was raised alone by him, and there was never much discussion of his first affairs. She was embraced tacitly by her new mother, but she maintained an excellent relationship with her father, and her siblings would often look up to her and she would often be willing to help them with their chores.
As Allie got older, to around the age of twelve, things started to become difficult. Harvests would become strained, and pests would often steal straight from the fields. The Child of Demeter was given a pellet gun and told to watch at night for whatever creatures might be stealing their crop. During her watches, she would see little creatures walking through the fields and stealing these goods. Too small to be people, but they chattered in a language she could only barely understand properly.
She tried to fire at one, but they seemed unphased. They quickly approached her, but for all their terrifying appearances, they could not harm her. They were karpoi, grain spirits, and after they realized that they could not wound the girl, they apologized and begged for mercy. It was granted in confusion, Allie still not understanding at all what was going on, but she demanded that they not steal her crops as they were under her protection.
Following this event, she tried to explain it to her father, who decided that it was proper to inform her of her true parentage and give her the seed pouch which he had been using on their farm. They remained on the farm together for the conclusion of the harvest, but following that Allie was brought to Camp Half-Blood with little interference from the monsters that abounded. She did not require much convincing to stay there, for while she loved her father, she knew that she may well attract greater threats to them.
At camp, Allie took very well to having so many siblings, and was welcomed warmly among the few children of Demeter. It would not be long before she was making arrangements with the Nymphs and Dryads, and taking up a leadership role in the winter planning and spring plantings. She was grateful that strawberries were the primary produce, and was one of the very few campers to have a positive relationship with Mr. D, as she is often assisting him with the strawberry fields.
Despite her heavy focus on the fields, Allie is still quite active in camp activities. While she does not plan the feasts like most of her cabin, she is an unexpected powerhouse in the games of Capture the Flag. Many times she has cultivated a truly terrifying array of thick vines and brush when she has more free time, a predilection which has engendered good relations with Cabin 6 and her physical prowess has resulted in her being one of the few fighters Cabin 4 has.
Now Allie is the head counselor for Cabin 4, despite her limited number of quests completed the more seasoned members of her cabin defer to her for regimentation and official representation. This is a responsibility she fills out of a sense of duty, but is not one that she embraces or is attached to. Often she will defer to senior members and is open to their suggestions over her own ideas.
RP Sample: Hopefully TotG suffices
Looks mostly good Prag. The only detail I'm going to have you change for the moment is her being head counselor. She'll be able to become that by the end of Book 1 but it'll make more sense to be an ordinary camper at the moment.
