RP Sample: v- Chara on another site. >_>Chara listened intently, smirking slightly at the mention of the orphanage. At first, she sighed and shrugged. Turning her gaze back over the view of the Camp. "I understand your point, Lyros, but I'm afraid I have more dignity than you give me credit for." Pausing, she slowly grew expressionless. "I am a daughter of Apollo, the god of medicine." Chara looked at Lyros, eyebrows raised. "I will not come to injure you and leave you there whilst I run off for "help". I can do it myself." Although, Chara herself had received a few injuries during sparring matches and had left them to heal on their own. And even though she would never bother with trying to heal her own body, providing that it was a friendly spar, Chara would always heal that of her opponent.
"A secret orphanage, you say?" Changing her point, fairly quickly. Chara had, of course, traveled a lot and such an orphanage would not go amiss to her. There were few to mention, one in particular was the CHO - Circle of Hope orphanage. Not that Chara had physically been to these places, but the existence and locations were within her extent of knowledge. Lightly, she laughed, thinking about what else he said. Almost as though he was on some kind of blind date, I like long walks on the beach, a nice midnight dinner too... And then she considered his final point, thinking it over and over. Either this child was being serious, or he was flattering her and actually trying to manipulate her somehow. She would have to tread carefully. Once again, her eyes examined him from head to toe. She knew she would have nothing to worry about, but still... the idea of falling for such flattery. So, what could she do? She could play along with it, of course. Immediately, Chara grinned and focused her gaze on Lyros' face. "I could be a great artist, eh?"
Inhaling, she thought for a second. It would have been rude for her not to introduce herself in such a way also. "I like you." She said. Straight on. Although, she was doubting his true intentions, there was still that something about him that she approved of. He seemed strangely clever. "Chara Nicolaides. The last name is Greek. Or so, my mother's father's entire family is Greek. Nevertheless, I was formerly a huntress. I was born in the early 1900s." She lied, deciding to continue. "Only recently broke my oath." Now that was true. "I like to spar. Funnily enough, I also like to read. Depending on what book it is, of course." Pausing, she shrugged. "Now that I have introduced myself fully... I must ask a question." Her eyebrows raised. "Do you prefer to fight by blade or by hand?"

Dressing Style: If not in the usual camp half blood attire, Chara likes to wear simple clothing. Jeans and a plain top, normally. Occasionally, Chara might wear a dress. On such an occasion, the dress would usually be short (about mid-thigh, it's not sluttish, it's how the spartans liked it... so so does she). In addition to this, she'd wear converse or leather boots and have a garter-like belt strapped around her thigh with a blade attached and hidden beneath the skirt of the dress.
General Appearance: [on one of her slightly feminine days] It's unusual. For such a girl, she has her astonishingly pretty days. She would wear her black summer dress that seems to end half way down her thigh. One might think that she is slutty, dressing with such provocative clothing. But it is quite the opposite. Wearing them for the advantage of movement, rather than being aware of how many eyes were on her bare legs. In addition to this, she is naturally beautiful. Wearing next to no make up (sometimes none at all), and could easily be mistaken for a child of Aphrodite. After all, she is rather beautiful.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description: Chara is secretive and cannot easily trust people. Yet she finds amusement in manipulating people into trusting her and making them think that she won't tell a soul. Chara is clever and thinks about everything in detail - whether a matter or secret is important enough to tell Artemis about, etc etc. Not that Artemis would know, but Chara does not even trust the goddess to the extent that she should. Throughout history, Artemis was more lenient. So sometimes, to find the word of a man she would have to flirt or kiss him for the information. So long as she didn't bed the man, or fall in love with him, Artemis was okay with it. Chara doesn't have many genuine friends, and finds it difficult making them.
Chara is never afraid to fight. If anything, she enjoys watching or taking part in spars/wars/fistfights all for the fun of it. She's Spartan, and beyond strong enough for it. In wars, Chara is neutral unless the outcome of a war directly benefits her. When she is angered, she likes to tease people. Sometimes with a small blade she always carries in her pockets for protection. There are times, however, when Chara is a good person... in a way. She is always there to listen, should someone need it. And there are times when she tries to be genuinely friendly or comforting. But her skills at comforting are terrible, and more than often she will only make it worse when trying to comfort someone.

Family and History
Personal History:
Back in the time when Olympus was home in Greece, there lived a woman called Aigle Nicolaides within the barbarian city of Sparta. She was provocative, yet strong. It was surprising how she had not yet died of childbirth after having had five sons and four daughters, each of different fathers. But, in spite of this, she had her other problems. She was a pyromaniac. It was a good thing that as a Spartan, she had to keep her hair and dresses short, so that they would not get in the way of her little fantasies. So much did she ache for the arms of a man who cared not for the pain fire causes. And one day, that very man came. It was a change from her usual desires. His body was out of shape in the most vulgar of ways. But the occasional sparks that seemed to fly out of his beard attracted her to him. And it was her lust for fire, that made Hephaestus want her also. An unusual pairing, almost like beauty and the beast, but Aigle was never as soft-hearted as the girl from the fairytale.
So, nine months after having bedded the unusual fellow, Aigle started to raise yet another daughter. She named her Chara. But there was something different to this daughter than of the others. And she came to realise this over time. Chara was stronger than the others (even in comparison to the boys), but she was secretive and found it incredibly difficult to trust. She could keep a secret and could be trusted. In addition to this, she never felt the love or compassion her siblings could. Her emotions were always under control, and most of the time... her smiles were fake. At the age of 16, she was sick of love. Her mother had, by now, several other children added to the list, and continued to be provocative. And whilst out hunting for her family, Chara stumbled across another woman. She wore a short tunic, and her hair tied back. Chara could immediately recognise the figure so many other women worshipped. This was Artemis, goddess of the hunt. At once, she bowed before her, feeling utterly privileged to be in her presence. And Artemis offered her a choice. Artemis desperately needed a position to be filled. A young maiden, to be granted all the powers of a huntress, but to be her spy and locate herself cleverly during any future events. Or to remain as a Spartan, living the life she currently did.
And so, until the 20th century, Chara hid herself discreetly in high positions (even if it meant being a lowly servant) in most major historical events (usually if this event took place near to where Olympus was at the time). During the early 1900s, Chara moved into Camp Half Blood. Chara claimed to be an unclaimed demigod, and lived in the Hermes cabin along with the others. That was until Hitler became chancellor of Germany. So Chara was sent in. For the period of 1933-1942, Chara went under the name "Liesel Adler". She moved around the country, and joined various Hitler Youth organisations (the young german maidens). She would exclaim about how her father was always called on business, and soon managed to learn the trust of the various leaders of the Hitler Youth groups. Of course, being a woman uninterested in reproduction, it was difficult for her to get much information. But it was always going to be more than Artemis ever could. And so, each time she moved, Chara(Liesel) would gain the trust of the group leader and hence find out certain information. It was from then, that she learned the supposed reasons for the night of the long knives and kristalnacht. All disheartening occasions, but nevertheless, questions Artemis desired answers to. In 1942, Chara fled Germany under the word of Artemis. Demigods were starting to battle one another, and Artemis believed Chara too special to lose in a battle like this. So Chara fled to America, and returned to the camp specially for demigods. Artemis left her there, promising that she would return should she need another spy. But for now, Chara was to watch the other demigods in case something should happen that could once again spark the interest of the gods. She watched the demigods live their lives, and had still not been able to drop the ability to manipulate others into trusting her. A few men even did develop a love for her, from this trust, which was soon diminished when she continuously turned them away. Eventually, it was noticed that Chara never seemed to age. And when questioned about it, Chara would always reply with a questionable answer - saying that she didn't know why, or what happened to her. That she could not remember most of her life and that perhaps the gods had decided to favor her. And since then, she's been living in the Hermes cabin as an unclaimed camper.
