RP Sample:Hinata was wiping the rain off of his shawl and hat when a voice spoke down at him. He jumped hard enough that his head hit one of the lower branches and he landed, rubbing it under his hat. You would think he would be used to that given the number of campers and dryads that liked to nap in trees and didn’t bother to announce themselves before speaking so they didn’t give a guy a heart attack. He rotated his neck up and saw a much younger boy up in the tree. He smiled warmly at them.
“Bonjour! I get my clothes at retail stores mostly, although some of them come from estate and garage sales, you find the best stuff at those I swear.” His hair was wet, but he flipped it anyways, still smiling. Just because he was grouchy at Chiron and the gods and anybody else in charge didn’t mean he had to be rude to someone. His brain clicked a few notches as he tried to put a name to this face; he prided himself on being one of the friendliest and most social campers after all. It clicked for him just as a side note in his brain told him to complain that they should give warnings when they planned on letting it rain in camp.
“My name’s Poppy Hinata Tsujitu, Demeter Cabin Leader. Most of the camp calls me by my middle name, my siblings are the only ones to call me Poppy. And you… are Clifford Westbrook, am I right?” He smiled, offering a hand to shake and well aware that this kid probably thought he was a woman. No harm in that, he could be a friendly, outgoing cabin leader as a woman or a man after all.

Dressing Style: She usually wears printed tee-shirts or button up blouses with a loincloth to cover her oddly formed lower half in the front.
General Appearance: You’re first thought would probably be to scream MONSTER! and wet your pants while screaming like a horror movie girl, but after you get used to seeing her around you’ll notice that she’s actually pretty attractive. Well… her human part is at least. She’s quite fit with a decent tan and a sizable chest that tends to attract attention. Her lion parts start as a thick, bushy ruddy-brown mane that fades into sandy gold fur. Her lower body is muscular, bulky, and all of her is extremely flexible. Despite her size and the sharpness of her claws she rarely hurts other people, although she often has scratches near where her two parts meet due to an instinctive need to scratch where it itches with her powerful hind paws.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description: Cat is friendly, cheerful and usually playful. She can come off as aloof and somewhat of a loner however if she doesn’t know you yet. If campers start playing with weapons around her she usually leaves out of fear that they will attack her. She is a very maternal character and she loves to help younger campers with anything. She can most often be found sunning herself in any random place around camp and if you’ve looked EVERYWHERE for her to no avail you should try looking up. Despite her size she’s very agile and enjoys spending time on the roofs of buildings or up in trees if they can support her. When campers who like her take the time to brush her fur or rub her belly she is quick to purr and start ‘making biscuits’ with her paws. She is all around patient and tolerant, even letting the Aphrodite campers paint her claws and play with her hair and fur if they want, despite having trouble feeling clean again afterwards.
Likes: Tuna, Balls of yarn, milk, ice cream, having her feline parts brushed, sharpening her claws on cloth instead of sisal or wood, belly rubs, and giving small-ish campers rides on her back.
Dislikes: Rain, Baths, spicy foods, being made fun of, having her claws grow too long, when larger campers try to ride her, messy fur, and fleas
Fears: Being killed like a Monster, Being alone forever, Monsters
Secrets: She hates herself for being so ‘loose’ when she’s in heat.
Ambitions: to beat her mother and to be a mother (preferably to a normal person)
Powers: Claws, size, and can understand/speak to cats, is also fairly smart, but that’s not really a power.
Family and History
Personal History: Dave Shepherd had a crush on his math teacher Miss Elsie for the entire year, and his crush was not unnoticed by her. At the end of the year, during their last half day when everyone had their lockers checked she checked his locker and then told him she had a reward. Miss Elsie led him off to some private place and that was the last anyone saw of Dave Shepherd. Miss Elsie left the school after that, the mist had hidden her nature as a daughter of the sphinx and that was all she had needed, but now she felt a stirring inside of herself.
Sometime later Tora was born and the sphinx's daughter was quite puzzled. All of her children before had been like their fathers, but this one… this one was different. Her daughter had the lower body of a lion, like her mothers, and the upper form of a human, similar to her. At first the demi-monster wondered if her daughter was some odd form of centaur born by magic from her body, but the mixing of human and feline was vastly different from the mixing of horse and human and so she dismissed the idea. She named her daughter Tora, the Japanese word for tiger, after her stripy looking cub-spots. Then Lea, the feminine form of Leo the Latin for lion and finally decided to give her the last name of the boy who had sired her, Shepherd.
Tora grew up quickly, her human and feline halves competing for fastest growth. As it was Tora looked 12 when she was only four, because of the rapid growth. Luckily for her, her mind could keep up with that thanks to the intelligence of the sphinx. Her growth slowed after that and she would often be found padding after her mother happily as the older, woman hunted for food and shelter. Always being left nearby in a safe place she never saw her mother kill a person, being quite happy to eat birds and fish that her mother brought her after her hunts. She learned to manipulate the Mist enough that she could go play at the park without scaring other children, but she quickly learned that she played too rough for most of them.
When she was 9 her mother told her to behave and stay in the den because she had a hero to hunt. Tora waited for her mother for five weeks before realizing that she would not come back. Then she had to learn to hunt for herself. The first few months were rough, but then she learned to raid fish hatcheries without getting caught and slowly she made her way around the edges of New York. She finally made her way to the edges of camp and was intrigued by the set up. She stayed in hiding out of fear of their weapons, but was discovered one day, a few months ago and invited in after she proved that she was not a threat. Now she is trying to adjust to life in camp and breaking everyone’s stereotypes about ‘Monsters’.

And Finally...
I, FLUFFY, have made this entirely up. I did not rip somebody else’s application from any site, and have followed the rules accordingly.
And…? Yes.
