The Original Character Court
Callie Shmit
It's 8 PM and my girlfriend still hasn't returned. I just called her she says she's on her way and not to worry but still. I'm just taking comfort in the fact that she brings a baton.

Basics
Name: Callie Shmit
[Do you really mean Shmit? Or Schmidt? Because I can't find any "Shmit" in my list of surnames around the globe?]
Age: 11
[Dangerous age because OCs at this age tend to act too mature for this age.]
Gender: Female
Birthday: 6th of March
Ethnicity: American
Hair color: Black
Eye color: Green
Height: 1.35m
Weight: 30 kilograms
Other physical descriptions: Thin (She lived in the streets, so she's underweight).
[Um... Her height-weight ratio is actually healthy...]
Short for her age.
She seems weak and bony but she is a little stronger than she looks
[She's underweight. And weak and bony. But hey, if it's just a little stronger then I guess that's passable given that she's a demigod.]
Sexual orientation: Unsure, she's 11
[Well, some people already figured out their sexualities at eleven or younger. Heck, I've always known that I liked girls, exclusively. You can say that she's still questioning or hasn't bothered defining it herself but you, her creator, should probably know that.]
Godly parent: Uknown
[*Unknown. An why? Okay, so say the readers don't know, but like I said in the previous criteria, you should know. Just indicate that she doesn't know. Unless, of course, that you can't say because you're writing a story and you can't spoil it.]
Mortal parent: Uknown
[*Unknown. See previous comment.]
Other relationships:
Uknown, she's an orphan and that's all everyone needs to know for now.
[*Unknown]
Friends: Alexia and Jennie.
Personality
Positive traits:
Does sarcastic count as positive?
[It's actually neutral.]
Brave-ish.
[ish?]
Capable of not having a mental breakdown.
[I don't think anyone's capable of not having a mental breakdown.]
Caring, like if you hurt one of her friends she will mess you up.
[That's protective. Not caring.]
Knows how to survive.
Knows how to kick ass.
[Not a personality trait.]
Protective, up to a point.
[Which is?]
Smart in high-stress situations.
[Bad wording. She can be smart, sure. But your wording makes it sound like she's only smart in high-stress situations. I think you mean "level-headed in stressful situations]
Negative traits:
Sarcastic.
Trusting (This is equally good as it is bad)
[You could say "too trusting"]
Difficulties in expresing thoughts.
Holding grudges.
Scared of trusting people, but does it anyways.
[What]
Can act pretty terrifying.
[How terrifying?]
Is scared of any body of water deeper than 1,20m.
[Put this in fears/phobias]
Absolutely no knowlege in Greek Mythology, and has a small attention span.
[*short attention span]
Fears/Phobias:
Clownaphobic (fear of clowns)
[*Coulrophobic]
Crowdaphobic (fear of large crowds)
[*Enochlophobic]
Hydrophobic (Scared of drowning)
Arachnophobic (scared of spiders)
Fatal Flaw: Inability to express self.
[Not really fatal. I'd think that her "holding grudges" is her fatal flaw.]
Combat-related questions
Camp: Half-blood
Cohort: 4th Cohort
Number of years: Not even a year
[Wait. I thought she's in Camp Half-Blood?]
Weapon of choice: Bow and arrow. Doesn't have a personal weapon, she just happens to be better at that than other weapons.
[Where'd she get the bow and arrow?]
Other weapons: Dagger
Powers and Abilities: Powers right now are uknown, and allies are Alexia and Jennie
[*unknown. Abilities not allies. But at least she's not overpowered.]
Backstory:
Has no memories from before she was 6, was found roaming around by a police officer and was put into an orphanage.
She ran away at the age of 10, once her only friend was adopted.
[Why? Was she not treated well in the orphanage?]
Since then she was roaming the streets of New york, hoping to find any connection to her past.
Then something seemed to lead her to long Island,
[What's that 'something'? Gut-feeling?]
where eventually she found the woods where camp half-blood was located.
[...]
One fateful night she camped out in a tree,
[*on a tree]
which she had a bad dream and fell off of it. Her screams got the attention of campers, and so, she was dragged into camp half-blood.
[Then what's with the fourth cohort shiz?]
Comments:
I'm so confused. I can't get a grasp of her personality. Backstory is super thin. So many contradictions.
Final judgement: Fields of Punishment
I am SO sorry for your loss. I havent lost too many people in my life, but i have lost enough to know its a horrible thing to go through. Are you going to continue The Original Character Court without her?
