RP Sample:Oh, did Chara love to get up early. She always had to. Since ancient times, it was always easier to start the day early. Even if it was before the sun had moved over the horizon. It was the atmosphere one could find themselves in at that time of day that she found so attractive and enticing. A mere walk in the woods was always pleasant to do. Especially when it was most likely that the demigods inhabiting the camp would not yet be awake. And it was why Chara liked to be out at this time so much. It was almost nostalgic. On her own in such foliage. Almost like the earlier years in her life when she had to hunt to keep herself alive. Or later on, when she would have to accompany noblemen for a predawn walk in the woods. It was a wonder how they were never mugged on these walks, but even still... it didn't mean that Chara was completely free from trouble during that time. It was, of course, in these quiet hours alone that one man had tried to take advantage of her. Chara had soon taken his life and made it appear as though he had been mugged and killed, hiding his belongings and soon running back to his estate crying for help. Everyone believed her, too. It was wonderful.
Chara took each step through the forest, not looking where she was going. Her walk was aimless, but it was still pleasant. Especially when she walked whilst admiring her dagger. That dagger that had been with her since the time of the ancients, and had been the weapon to have saved her life gods know how many times. It was the very weapon that murdered the men who tried to rape or mug her. It was perfection in the form of a weapon. It was also made up of a celestial bronze, so that should a monster have ever tried to attack her, then she would always be able to sufficiently defend herself.
Suddenly, Chara stopped walking. She looked up from the blade she held and slowly slid it back into her pocket, holding a fine smirk upon her lips. She could see a young boy. Sitting upon a mossy rock with his back against a tree. A demigod awake at such a time. Slowly, Chara cautiously walked into his view, still smirking. "And here I thought I everyone would be asleep and the woods would be..." her tone gradually became quieter, into some sort of whisper. "so very quiet." She shrugged and sat herself down on the floor, not so far from the boy. "I may as well introduce myself to you." Pausing, she thought through what to say. She didn't need to lie about her name. He might already know who she is. Speaking now, her tone was flat. "And you know, I don't care if you can't be bothered with any of this. I'm Chara Nicolaides." Yet again, the girl paused. He didn't need to know that she was actually a huntress. Or that she had been claimed for over 2000 years, as the daughter of Hephaestus. And so, she fed him the lie that every camper seemed to believe. "Unclaimed."

What Makes Them Them
Personality Description:
Often lost in her thoughts and daydreams, Jamie is quite distant. But she can easily talk to people if she needs to. She is also fairly stubborn and determined, which is quite hard to believe when you consider how easily she can get lost in her daydreams and fantasies. Jamie would never give up on a challenge, and would hence hate herself if she did or had to give up on something. She is always willing to listen, and would be there for people if they ever needed someone to talk to. In addition to this, Jamie loves love. Thanks to her love for books, she often dreams about different ways she might meet a guy and then fall in love with him. It is what her fantasies usually consist of, but she still strongly feels like she would never be lucky enough to experience love. With books and music tending to keep her away from major social gatherings. She is also well-mannered and polite. Which is clearly thanks to the etiquette training from her father. When she needs to, she knows when to act like a first class lady. Although, she does tend to slack a little sometimes. Never in the manners though. Being polite is always priority for Jamie, and she would hate for people to think of her as rude in anyway. Generally, Jamie isn't a snob either. She doesn't care for inequality of the classes, even if it may seem that way whenever she is with another person of her status.
Thanks to her overactive imagination, Jamie tends to over think things. She sometimes judges people too easily, although not openly, most often imagining them to be what they're not. It is what she tends to record in her journal, though. Writing a passage each and every day and every detail of it, often containing what she thought about certain individuals. Although, she sometimes worries that these individuals might manage to take hold of her diary and read her curious and sometimes offensive thoughts. It is quite unusual for her, as she is always polite, kind and friendly in social situations. But honestly? Jamie Leigh is just a constantly confused girl, trapped in her overactive imagination. In addition to all this, though, Jamie is quite insecure and sometimes gets just a little jealous. She worries that people might take her friends away from her, which probably wouldn't be difficult. Either that, or their main motive for her friends was to use and hurt them. In that case, she might be filled with constant worry. But for Jamie, it is easy to make friends. But she finds that the types she prefers, the ones she trusts and remains close to, are always difficult to find. And so, if another person came along and started being really close to any of her close friends... it is possible for Jamie to get jealous. Which can only really be noticed when her exact feelings are written down in her journal.

Secrets:

- To write a book. Although she'll probably use an alias when it comes to it.
Powers:

Family and History
Personal History:
Harrison Leigh was a first class member of the British society. All the riches he owned, he had inherited. All the land he owned, he had inherited. The estate he owned was actually a historic one, and so he willingly opened it up to members of the public when he was not there. Providing there were security men around ensuring that nothing was taken during his absence. Of course, at one time, Harrison returned home just as the tours were coming to an end for the day. And he stumbled across a peculiar woman. She'd managed to get herself sidetracked, and was not following the tour guide as the other visitors were. She was unaccompanied in the main dining room, examining the fine paintings of Harrison's ancestors that hung upon the wall. He questioned why she was there, and she answered with an explanation for her fascination for the paintings. Once she had done that, Harrison began to explain the history behind each one of them. And eventually also, the history behind the estate. It was something that fascinated him also, so he was happy to tell a stray visitor whatever she wanted to know. Hours of long, detailed stories had passed before the visitor finally left, and Harrison had his home back for the rest of the night.
Nine months later, a golden cradle appeared on Harrison's doorstep, containing a sweet baby girl. With it was also a letter. When Harrison found the child, he read the letter. It was from that visitor he had met the previous year. It was a detailed explanation of who she was, what had happened and about the child - her name, and that sometime during her life she was expected to travel to the United States and go to Camp Half Blood for demigods like her. Harrison cared for Jamie from that point onward, giving her what she needed and a proper training in upper class etiquette.
Throughout her childhood, Jamie would always try and make friends with the children on the tours. As her father would always be out at the time. Never having any problem with "class inequalities" as her father did, with him clearly preferring upper class snobs to middle and lower class "peasants". One day, though, it was discovered what she was doing by her father (one of the security guards told him). The girl had been claimed by Athena whilst with these other children, and almost as an immediate decision in order to keep his child "safe" he sent her to a strictly uniformed boarding school somewhere in the countryside of England.
By his wishes, Jamie stayed in the boarding school until the end of the school year during her time as a sixteen-year-old. Jamie did, of course, come home every summer and every christmas to see her father who had, by the time she was fifteen, found a woman and married her. In school, Jamie made plenty of friends. In spite of her ADHD and dyslexia. It was upsetting for her to have to leave for good now. Harrison bought her everything she needed (including clothes etc) before putting her on the first flight to New York when she broke up from school that summer, at which she was conveniently met by a wandering satyr and taken to camp. She has been there ever since.
Mortal Parent: Harrison Leigh. Alive.
