The Original Character Court

Shiloh Briar

[Kara and Laurel. Just remember that the one with a lot of exclamation points and smileys are Laurel and the bitchy one is Kara.]
[BTW, she's especially bitchy now because she's sick so sorry! And I'm mostly talking since Kara's, yeah.]
Basics
Name: Shiloh Briar
Age: 13
[Careful with this age! OCs around this age tend to flop so yeah.]
Gender: Female
Birthday: August 18
Ethnicity: Cherokee and Australian. Her Mother is Native Australian, and her Dad is Cherokee.
Hair color: Red
[oooh a ginger!]
Eye color: dark brown, almost black. (it runs in Aelous children)
[Wait she can't be Cherokee, then. Her biological father is Aeolus so she can't have the ethnicity of the Cherokee dude whoever he is]
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 129 punds
Other physical descriptions: Shiloh isn't skinny but isn't fat, either, living and working her family s farm always kept her well rounded. If she didn't do so much farmwork, and spent so much of her Physical power on her jobs, she probably would be Overweight from her addictive personality.
[addictive?]
Shiloh's hair is shoulder-leangth, and usually is Unbrushed and tangled. (I'm going to bring this back up in the personality) And her eyes kind of make her eyes look large and warm. Google it? (Btw, you should add a picture bar, it would help for those who have trouble writing thoughts into words)
[or you can search it in google images and paste a link. That works too. Just saying. And what am I supposed to put in the search bar? large, warm eyes?]
[Um... what she means to say is that we're not sure what exactly to search and we'll be okay if you just put a link to a picture since we can't add an "upload image" portion. The area where we see the submissions aren't exactly image-friendly (it's an excel file, in case you want to know.) So yeah. Sorry for the inconvenience. :( ]

Personality
Positive traits: Shiloh is very outgoing and is very easy to make friends with. She doesn't talk a whole lot, but when she does, she has meaning and something to say. She's very open about her self to other people, (not to a personal point, though).
[Pretty sure everyone has meaning and something to say. And what do you mean personal point?]
She can be very soft at times, and finds that she can develop strong passions for things if she sets her heart on it.
[That's nice!]

Negative traits: Shiloh is easily addicted, to stuff such as Food. Like, she'll be washing a horse, and after she's done, she accidentonly squirts herself in the face with water, sees how good it feels, and then be spraying the hose in her face for the next ten minutes. She gets in trouble a lot because of this.
[Ah. I have a feeling she has some bits of obsessive-compulsive disorder. That's not a bad thing!]

(Remember my comment about her hair?). Shiloh always tries to be neat, but "time" makes to great of an exuse to check her hair, make her bed, various various. Of course, she ends up doing most things because her adopted dad is from the military.

Other Personality traits: Shiloh is good with horses and dogs. Her two things. Canine and Equines.

Fears/Phobias: Not known of. She has a fear of Fires, since that is what her mom got injured in, but I don't know the name, and when I open a new tab to google, this site deletes all I've done.
[pyrophobia]

Fatal Flaw: She tries to please people too much. She kinda already knows this, but she hasn't noted it as her fatal flaw yet.
Also, because she isn't exactly the most....what should I write here? Organized, put-together, clean-cut person, she usually has trouble doing this. She hasn't fought in any big battles so far, so she hasn't had a chance to Discover it as being fatal in any way.
[Okay. That's interesting!]

Family and Background
Godly Parent: Aeolus
Mortal Parent: Acacia Larette (Her adopted mom) and Kenneth larette, (Adopted also) But her deceased mom's name is Carrie Briar
[You know, she would only have the ethnicity of Carrie Briar. Not the adopted.]
Other relationships: She has a older brother, mortal, named Jack, who she is brother-sister with. [isn't that what having a brother is? Saying "brother-sister" was pretty unnecessary.] At first she didn't like him, because she was struggling with some stuff at the time. But she grew to love him.

Leopold Conanoll, Her half-brother who she is good friends with, during her time at camp-halfblood (He's year round).
They have always been good friends.

Poppy Sheldwick, A daughter of Demeter, and her best friend. They're both Summer-goers at CHB, but, fortunately, she lives an hour and a half away from Shiloh's hometown of Middle Creek. So they can visit every so often, usually when the school takes a trip to the Zoo up near Poppy's town.

Backstory: Shiloh was born on August 18th in Wyoming, Eight months after her dad left. (btw, her mom knew about the greek gods and stuff, and planned to tell her when she was older)
[okay!]
They lived in a cozy cottage just passed the borders of Middle Creek, one of the larger Wyoming towns. The Briar family's American side lived in the town for a while, but most had died off. Shiloh enjoyed watching the stars and moon with her mom, and playing in the wind. Some people said that they were crazy, but once they even sat outside during a tornado. Some Mortals who aren't told about the Greek Gods and their love leaves them, it hurts, but since Aeoulus explained to her that he had to go, she understood, and always told Shiloh that he was only working, and that she would see her daddy One day.
But, one day, (Shiloh was eight at the time) Dry weather created a forest fire dangerously close to their house, which caught on fire. Her mom had been napping while Shiloh was playing, and she woke to Shiloh shaking her awake. They got out the emergency fire ladder and Shiloh crawled out the window, but took a long time. Her mom, trying to help her down as the fire was spreading quickly, nearly upon her now. She got out onto the ladder, and there was an explosion from inside, from where the fire met her gas fireplace, (upstairs) and not only burned her, but she fell from the top of the ladder, landing on her neck.
[Oh my! That's so scary! :( ]

Her injuries were much too severe. She had been paralyzed upon landing on her neck, and was blinded from the explosion. Government and other authoraties wouldn't let her continue to care for Shiloh, so they gave Shiloh to another family. [They'd put her in the system first before other families can adopt her. Oh but before being put in the system, the government checks if they have any other living relatives so they can go live with them. So yeah! Please research on the process when it comes to kids who need to be put in the system.] The Larettes. The family lived on a large farm at then other side of Middle Creek, raising mainly horses and cattle. Shiloh pulled away from them, being young and confused, and spent a lot of time with the animals. After a while though, she healed and came to trust and love the family.
For her tenth birthday she was given a foal, a young beautiful young roan foal that she named Rain for her coat pattern. This boosted her in the equestrian field.
In middle school, Aeoulus saw that nobody was around to explain the Greek Gods to Shiloh, so he sent a satyr for her. His name was Thomas, and he was sent near the end of the school year, probably the worst time for a satyr. Thankfully he could become friends with Shiloh, and one day, when a pack of blood-thirsty harpies came around, he found a good time to take her to camp.
[yikes.]

Combat-related questions
Camp: CHB, only at summer.
Weapon of choice: Shiloh prefers to use a sword, which she was given by her dad. It is made to be light, encasing some power of the Four winds. Apparently, Jack was given a bow too.
Aeolus said that he found them lying around, so he gave them to the two kids, so there isn't much special.
[No to the found them lying around. No offense, it's a lazy explanation and I doubt Aeolus would give weapons to mortal kids even if they're close to his kid. :( ]
Other weapons: Shiloh has a chestplate that looks like a picture-holding necklace, but transforms into a poor, but usable chest plate. She obtained it when her, Kaya and Colin Sensendich, and Jack, blew down a big anthill. (The demigod files? Ring a bell?)
[Doubt you should reuse that story. And I also doubt you should use that chestplate. Like you said, it's poor. It will fail her. And what's Jack doing there? He's mortal and he can't be the Oracle so it doesn't make sense for him to be around.]
Jack got some arrows, but it was one of the smaller anthills, so most of the stuff went to the camp.
[Research ant structure and you'll find out that a colony will only have on ant hill. And I doubt there would be more than one colony at CHB since two ant colonies will have a tendency to fight each other. And in the Demigod Files, they implied that they were going to get the rest of the camp to clear out the colony.]

Powers and Abilities: Shiloh can control the wind, and some times, when she focuses, she can generate slight wind. Jack is teaching her more, though, and she will start getting better. She also has a good sense of Direction, and good at navigating, because of the "wind sense" she was born with.
[How can Jack teach her when he's mortal?]

Comments: Personality is pretty interesting but backstory and the mini-backstory with the weapons part is pretty iffy. Please double check ethnicity etc., Lastly, Jack????

Final judgement: Fields of Asphodel
