General Appearance:

She's not your usually image of a surfer. She's not light-haired or tan, she's the exact opposite. She prefers to stick to the shadows, so she remains to be a bit of a wallflower, but you never see her trying to get noticed. She's just the person you look past. Most people never offer her a second glance.. Taylor usually wears light tank tops with dark hoodies and jeans--always casual. And she almost always has a swimsuit under her clothes.

What Makes Them Them

Personality Description: She is a serious klepto. Anything she can get her fingers on, she takes. But not discreetly sticking it into her bag; she plans it out. She will find out where it will be in two weeks, the select a night to climb in through the window - having staked out all traps that might be there - and takes it. You would never know it was her unless she told you, which means that you would never know. She's an expert thief, and she actually takes the time too, making her the perfect Hermes. And what does she do with what she doesn't need? She sells it. She even has an order form; if you fill it out, she can get you what you want in under a week from contacts with all the cabins. She makes contacts quickly.

Needless to say, she's a great actress and a very protective little b*tch. She has a bag that is leather with two buckles (that lock), the zipper has a padlock on it and all the candy is locked in a small cooler with another padlock on it. And all the locks have different number combinations. She keeps everything for her business and all her valuables in that bag; she even tricked it out herself to make a loud squeaking noise if you hit it in the right spot, because one of her brothers once tried to take it when she was sleeping. And as for her acting? She can fake her way out of anything. She thinks quickly enough so that she can have a way too get out. Always. That and the fact that she always plans out an exit route helps.

Food and sleep. If she's not stealing, she's eating. If she's not eating or stealing, she's sleeping. She can fall asleep in under ten minutes no matter what the conditions are. And she eats all the time, so she comes off as lazy. Which leads me to the next part of her personality; dancing and surfing are big parts of her life, mostly because she feels like she needs to work out after a while of being lazy, purely to keep herself skinny enough to climb through windows. She started dancing and surfing when she was young, and since then, she has been gaining her skills since, so she is quiet good at both, despite them meaning almost nothing to her.

If you just met her, she would just give off the aura of not giving a crap. Her face remains blank, no matter what you do, and she never jumps at anything. She could be sitting on her bed, and the Titantic could crash into it, and she would just sigh and sit there, acting bored. She wouldn't even jump. It's not that she lacks emotion; she just doesn't show it. It's almost a disorder, the way she does it. It's why her PB is Kristen Stewart.

Powers: I don't know if this counts as a power, but she has two magic items. One is a magic necklace that looks like a seashell with a leather chain; if she loses control of it, then it may burn her. It doesn't allow her to control water, just make her "understand" it. She can nudge the water in the right direction if she chooses to do so.

The second one isn't actually a magic item. It's [as stated in her personality] a leather bag with two buckles (that lock), the zipper has a padlock on it and all the candy is locked in a small cooler with another padlock on it. And all the locks have different number combinations. She keeps everything for her business and all her valuables in that bag; she even tricked it out herself to make a loud squeaking noise if you hit it in the right spot.

For her actually powers, though, she's an excellent thief and a great actress (liar).

Family and History

Personal History:

Katie Bourne was a criminal. She stole things from peoples houses. Small things like jewelry or a shirt. Just because it was undoubtedly... fun. She was never right in the head, the police knew that. They also knew she was stealing things, but they couldn't pin it on her. She never left anything anyone could trace. Not a single hair. She was an expert. She had even filed off her fingerprints; she couldn't do anything with her fingers for three weeks, but she saw it as worth it.

Hermes had heard about this and decided he wanted to meet her. But, instead of meeting the normal way, he decided to lure her into a mansion - that was actually his - when she thought he wasn't home. He set up a trap for her. It was a tripwire right by the window that was easiest to come into. When Katie tripped on it, she looked up to see the triumphant face of Hermes staring down at her.

Ever since Samantha was born, she was in Foster Care. The government would send her from family to family, sometimes for a time as short as a week, sometimes as long as four months. Overall, she had somewhere around a hundred ''families'', but because Aries doesn't feel like making a huge history, she's just going to tell you what stands out/made an impact on Taylor's life.

Her first parent told her that she sensed the god in her, and gave her a necklace that would awaken it. She told her that it would make her have an 'understanding' with the water. Samantha didn't remember this until she had a dream about it several years later, which made her ponder it as a teenager, and she decided that it must have been real. Because she did, after all, have the necklace. All throughout her life, she had considered that face her mother. Which, she wasn't, but somehow she just made that connection.

When she was almost seven, she was still in Hawaii, so her 'parent''s insisted she learn to surf. So, she did. Her 'mom''s name was Samantha, so they called her Taylor so as not to get them confused. After that, it just kind of stuck. And that is why they all call is Taylor.

The first time she lost control of her 'powers' (that she only had with her necklace) was when she was eight. She was living on the coast of California, she was living with a single mother, and she had four older 'brother''s. Taylor was surfing on a huge wave with her 'brother''s, and the wave turned into a tube wave. It wasn't just like the wave broke at the right time or anything, it turned into a tube wave. It transformed in front of her eyes, and all her brothers fell of their boards in a frenzy of surprise. The necklace she was wearing started burning, so while she was in the tube, she fell off her board and into the water. She started to drown, and she passed out. When she woke up, she was on the shore of the beach, her brothers beside her. Her necklace was so hot, it had burned the imprint of a seashell into her neck. From that moment on, she became The brothers where sure they where just remembering things wrong, but nonetheless, in a few weeks she was at another household.

When she was twelve, the monsters started coming. Every time they would, Taylor would run and hide for several hours or until the monster left. By her second monster, she knew there was something different about her. The third monster was what created a house fire. Taylor was coming at her and she managed to fend it off, knocking over a candle in the process. The old house quickly caught fire. Taylor's hands caught on fire in the rush, but she was still able to climb out a window and jump two stories. The result was getting whiplash, braking one of her legs, and her hands? Her fingerprints burned off. So there; the perfect thief.

When she was fourteen (living on the Gulf of Mexico), her adopted parent abused her. There was something inside Taylor that didn't want to tell anyone. To this day, she couldn't explain it. Her parent gave her scars on her arms and back, just from pushing her into things. That year she was taking up horseback riding, and trying out football. So that was her excuse, the supposed reason that she had all the scars. She just reminded herself again and again that she was going to be gone in little less then a month.

When she was sixteen, living in California again, she had the flirtiest 'brothers' ever. Most of them had flirted with her from time to time, but this was different. She picked up on her 'don't attract attention to yourself' attitude at the house. She had always been good at thievery - stealing the occasional cookie before supper (when she was little), or stealing the occasional gum pack from the store. Or, of course, stealing things for her black market job (her motto was 'Everything But Drugs!'). Long story short, she never got caught. But, anyway, she learned how to blend into the shadows. Fade into the background,so her flirty 'brothers' wouldn't try to kiss her or anything. She found out how to avoid people.

The day she turned seventeen, a man adopted her from California. A single man, in his twenties. Taylor had no idea why. She seemed like she was only a few years younger. She was almost scared of what he would do to her, but she didn't show it. When she got into the car with him, he started driving. He didn't stop. Not until what seemed like weeks later (Taylor wasn't counting days) and they reached New York. She then found out that A) the guy driving the car was Hermes, B) Hermes was her dad, C) Hermes liked the title 'the Greek God of Awesome', and D) there was a camp for "half-blood"'s like her.

When they finally reached camp, Taylor was glad to stretch her legs. She had several days - possibly weeks - to mull over the reality of it all, so she was ready to take on whatever nutshell was waiting for her when she stepped out of the car. She also had spotted a gigantic walmart bag full of candy, so she accidentally-on-purpose picked it up with the rest of her stuff. Hermes didn't notice, so she stepped out of the car with only saying goodbye to him.

And that was today.

Mortal Parent: Katie Bourne
Other Family: She has much too many adopted family members to list here.

And Finally...

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

And…? Yes or no. It had better be yes.
