Looks
Hair: Anya's hair is something to be envious about. It is always shiny and never oily or dry, and is the color of rich dark chocolate. It is wavy and thick and falls about halfway down her back if not longer. It also grows unnaturally fast.
Eyes: Anya's eyes are dark brown, not grey as per the Athena norm, and her lashes are thick but short. They are wide and she can channel plenty of emotion through them.
Height: Anya is five foot four inches.
Weight: Anya is about one hundred and eighteen pounds.
Picture: Click.
Playby: Selena Gomez. (Blanche Rose has not logged on since July.)
Dressing Style: Anya is usually dressed simply - her hair is pulled up in a ponytail and she may don jeans and a light sweater. Though she enjoys looking nice, she usually dresses for comfort as opposed to style.
General Appearance: Anya is a little tiny and what some may call petite at five foot four and one hundred and eighteen pounds. Most of that weight can be attributed to sports and the fact that her father always wanted her to keep fit. Most people look down on her, even if they are shorter...I'm not just talking about physically, but mentally Anya can be sharp and babyish at the same time.
What Makes Them Them
Personality Description: Being the daughter of the goddess of wisdom, it would definitely make sense that regarding school smarts, Anya is somewhat of a prodigy. Always the top of her class, she does make efforts in school. Even if she didn't, she would still be the top of her class, given, well, that her mother is the goddess of wisom. However, Anya isn't one to brag. She tends to dumb herself down and doesn't think very highly of herself, honestly. She doesn't see anything special about herself and this is basically why she turns to dreams so much.
You see... Anya is in an oneironaut. An oneironaut is someone who has mastered the art of lucid dreaming and has explored the dream world. Essentially, someone who dreams while waking. In the dream world, you can do whatever you want. Anya uses it for these main reasons — to discover more about herself and her friends and family and so she can "gain revenge" on those that have done bad things to her. Of course, she doesn't do it in the physical world, just where no one can see her. Her real life is inside herself. She seems calm and content, maybe a little insecure, but on the inside anger bubbles up fast.
She may seem very laid-back and forgive and forget. She is... on the outside. But on the inside, she hates a lot of people and remembers a lot of things people have done to her. It's as though she has multiple personalities.
If you're close to her and she is full to bursting with angry thoughts, this would be one of the rare times she would spill her true feelings. However, she doesn't vent to just anyone...

Family and History
Personal History: Cory Swift was a minor film actor at the time he met the goddess Athena. No, he wasn't Brad Pitt or anything... not widely known, his movies weren't mainstream. He was the kind of person that might cause a crazy case of déja vu on the street for some people.
This was the case for the goddess Athena, whose friends she hung out with while in her mortal state had pressured her to sign up for a blind date. Cory, who was a rather flirty New York guy in his mid-twenties, had done this willingly. And, well, as you can figure out, Athena and Cory were paired up on a blind date at an Italian restaurant. Surprisingly, they hit it off and continued scheduling dates regularly, Athena introducing herself as Athena Newman — there were women named Athena, after all. It didn't necessarily mean anything.
But within several months, the relationship began to go downhill. Cory pressured Athena into coming to his parties with her, and it was there that Athena downed too much alcohol even for a god and accidentally joined her thoughts with Cory's. After fleeing in a panic in realization of what she had done, Elias and Anya were born on a cold November morning, Athena went into labor and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl. And then... she left. After hastily packing and giving Cory a dissatisfactory reason for her hasty exit, she left, slightly horrified with herself. Even if she herself wasn't there, Cory would always have a piece of her... a big piece of her. Her two children.
Cory was not father-material, to say the least. He left the twins with a nanny while he went out to parties and other social events. The twins grew close to their nanny, whose name was Hannah. Cory was more like the antisocial uncle that came to visit once a week. While he was in the house, he stayed upstairs and forbade the children to enter. He paid Hannah to do the babysitting and the cooking. Hannah was a kooky sort... she encouraged the two children to lucid dream. She taught them to do so herself when they turned six. Needless to say, eight years later (now), Anya has mastered it.
One day, while Hannah was preparing Anya and Elias's dinner... the doorbell rang. Hannah said she would get the door, but Anya answered no, that she would. She opened the door and who was there? A satyr.
She screamed, since being a demigod, she could see through the Mist and therefore saw the satyr for what it was. Hannah rushed to the front door, but she could see nothing but a casual attire-clad man with floppy brown hair on his head. He looked to be thirty or so. "What's wrong, Anya sweet?" Hannah asked the child, who was crying. Then she turned to the man and asked, "What can I do for you?"
He explained everything... who Anya and Elias's mother was, where they needed to go. The two were only seven at the time, but by that time, the problems with the Mist were getting stronger and the satyrs were trying to usher as many campers as possible to camp's safe boundaries. Hannah shooed the two out of the room to eat their macaroni and cheese. Once they were gone, the satyr, whose name was Evan, explained everything to Hannah. Hannah accepted it. She did believe in the Greek gods and, being the kooky sort she was, read of them all the time and had noticed some similar traits developing in the twins that belonged to Athena. She didn't consider the possibility that Evan might be a criminal. Not that he was, but she was too trusting and had Evan wanted to, he could have done anything to the children.
"I'll need... to take them to camp. As soon as possible," the satyr — Evan — concluded. Hannah assured him it would be possible. Both fortunately and unfortunately, Cory had been thinking along the same lines – well, the lines that involved Anya and Elias leaving. Unfortunately, he was drunk after suffering a breakup from a blond, curvy woman basically half his age. "I want them OUT OF HERE. Right. Now," he had yelled insanely at Hannah. Hannah obliged, and three days later, Anya and Elias were on their way to Camp Half-Blood. Hannah promised to write.
Well, they were seven. They were bound to be confused... about everything. Who they were, who their mother was, where they were. The moment they stepped out of Evan's car and into the boundaries of the camp, they felt something off in the air.
After several weeks, though, Anya felt herself adjusting to life in the Hermes cabin. A month after her arrival, Athena claimed both Elias and Anya in their dreams while both were lucid.
Until they were ten, Anya and Elias were summer-only campers. However, they soon realized there was nothing of interest for them at home. Cory was always out and about somewhere they didn't want to know anything about and Hannah had married her longtime boyfriend, leaving New York City for a rural part of Canada. At age ten, they decided to stay at camp year-round, where both currently reside.

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