Looks
Hair: Mckenna got her hair from her mother – it's gorgeous. It's a deep brown, so dark that it's easily mistaken for black, and thick enough without any prodding that she's been told she's gotten the blessings of Aphrodite – she doesn't think so. When left untamed, her hair is a wavy mess that falls to her shoulder blades. After messing with it for a while, she can get it straightened into shape. She's usually wearing a flower in her hair.
Eyes: Her eyes are also so brown that they could be black – she hates them. They're rather slanted, sometimes making her appear slightly asian when she's tired and droopy eyed.
Height: 5”8
Weight: 139 lbs.
Picture: Click
Playby: Nina Dobrev
Dressing Style: Mckenna has two distinct styles; one, chic, and two, comfy. She's a fan of skirts and heels, but at the same time, she's not an idiot. She won't wear heels to the arena, she won't wear tennis shoes to some formal event. She tries not to be flashy, but sometimes her mind gets the better of her.
General Appearance: Mckenna is a very confident young woman – you can tell when she walks. She has no reservations when she makes an appearance. She's comfortable in her body, and she wears clothing that shows just how comfortable she is. She's also prone to all manner of colors and styles.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description:
Mckenna isn't exactly a social butterfly. She's well known for being a sarcastic bitch, though it's been widely noted that she's nowhere near as bad as she was a few years ago. She's mainly quiet, keeps to herself. Her mouth often gets her into trouble, and she seems to avoid the forges at all costs. Someone says something funny to her, she'll get an odd look on her face, like she's trying not to laugh. She understands the social protocols that define mortals well enough – it's not like she had a troubled childhood. She just doesn't feel like it's her place to use them – she doesn't really like anyone enough to make the effort. She's basically a young woman trying to redefine herself after having everything ripped away from her; kinda like a cat that's been kicked one too many times.
Likes:
Juice, honest people, being acknowledged, roses, floral scents, her garden.
Dislikes:
Monsters, being ignored, being the center of attention, diet sodas, liars.
Fears:
Death, thunder storms, explosions of any sort.
Secrets:
She actually wants to have friends before she dies... She just needs to find the right person.
Ambitions:
SHH... Make a real friend! And, hm...breed a new species of rose.
Family and History
Personal History:
Twice in the course of their marriage did James and Carly Lee have troubles – the first time, Carly had an affair with a strange man that was later discovered to be Hades. The second time, James was the unwitting form of revenge – Persephone took advantage of the darkness in his soul, the intense emotions, to charm him and to give him a child, as her husband had given his wife two years previous. During their first meeting, James told Persephone that if he ever had a child of his own, he would want the child to be immune to the poisons of the world. The goddess, with a smirk, said that was entirely possible and that it would be done. Mckenna was the outcome of that wish, that hope.
Jonathan, Mckenna's elder brother, was a son of Hades, and she a daughter of Persephone – not exactly a bright mixture, but the siblings got along wonderfully from her birth on. They both realized their powers young – Jonathan was using his to do all manners of things, while Mckenna was using hers to grow flowers. James was a botanist, so when he discovered what his daughter's abilities were, he analyzed the blooms on her plants – only to discover that all of them were highly toxic. When Mckenna was four, Jonathan six, their younger brother was born, and both of the children found that they loved their little brother more than anything.
The family lived in the forest in Pennsylvania – a quiet place. The three were homeschooled for years, until their father got a job offer in Houston. Mckenna was ten at the time, and all three of the children were excited to get into a public school. Public school, however, is when all the trouble started.
Jonathan and Mckenna were both ADHD and dyslexic – they had a very, very difficult time concentrating and reading. Mckenna struggled and was moved down a grade – her brother, however, was moved down three, and the two found themselves in the same class. The first time Mckenna heard someone taunting her brother, she couldn't control herself – she gave that boy the worst case of poison ivy that the city of Houston had ever seen. That was the first day her father spanked her, the first time she got her 'defend your own' motto. She'd protect her brother, always, and he'd protect her. And together, they could protect Landon.
They struggled through public schooling at a total of three schools before the bombings. The highrise apartment building that the family occupied was hit by a series of powerful bombs the summer of Mckenna's twelfth year. Her parents were on the floor with the gym; they were killed instantly with the first explosion, because that's where the bomb went off. A total of twenty seven more bombs went off, setting the building ablaze and crumbling.
The smoke was thick in the air – both Jonathan and Landon were coughing like crazy. Mckenna, however, was immune to the impurities in the air, as she always had been. She'd never been sick in her life, because it wasn't just literal poisons that she was immune to, it was all impurities that entered her body. Jonathan, fourteen at the time and having spent a summer at Camp Half-Blood, dared to leave their crumbling apartment and see if they could get out. It was blocked, but that didn't stop him from trying to dig his way out and instead allowing something into their little safe haven. The Leukrokottas had been trying to take advantage of the chaos to snuff out the 'Children of the Underworld,' as it put it. Jonathan tries to fight it off, but the creature called out to Mckenna in his voice after pinning him, telling her it was safe and he'd found a way out.
Of course, she emerged, carrying their gasping for breath younger brother. Upon seeing the creature, she screamed, and upon understanding what had happened, she half dropped, half set their brother down and threw herself at the monster, trying to get her brother (and their only defense) free. It didn't do much, just set the creature staggering, but it was enough for Jonathan to get loose and to grab Landon and get a hold on Mckenna's arm and shadow-travel. He didn't have time to choose a destination – the creature had injured him terribly, he was bleeding everywhere, his chest half collapsed from the creature's jaws, The trio ended up in the throne room of the Underworld, Mckenna sobbing over her dying brothers. Jonathan died before Hades could even rise from his chair.
Landon wasn't doing too well either. The twelve year old girl begged her mother and (technically) step-father to save him, but they said that they couldn't, that his mortal life had run it's course. She screamed out her pleas, but Persephone just looked away and Hades stared at them. Landon died just minutes later of smoke inhalation.
So Mckenna had lost everything she had in just a few short minutes, in a blur of explosions and monsters. She sat there, holding her brothers' hands, for nearly twenty four hours straight before Hades made her release them so that they could be buried properly. He sighed deeply and closed his son's eyes before taking Landon as well, at least giving her the comfort that they weren't dragged away by monsters. She remained there for the rest of the summer, refusing to eat – she was upset and alone, but not so much that she'd not learn from her mother's story.
At the end of the summer, to everyone's relief, Hades sent Mckenna to Camp Half Blood, where being suddenly forced to deal with other people caused her to quickly gain a reputation as a mysterious, rude, hateful stranger. She managed to secure herself a bed next to a window in the Minor Gods cabin, where she's resided ever since, her little garden just outside of it.
((About her abilities – to put it very simply, she's immune to impurities. Poison, smoke, sickness, yadda yadda. She can't necessarily manipulate plants, but she can make them grow, and everything she grows is highly poisonous. On past sites, I've had it where her blood was poisonous, but that's entirely up to you guys – all of it is, really. But yeah, poison manipulation and detection, immunity to impurities, poison blood, and growing plants. XDD))

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