The Original Character Court
Eve Sanders
[Laurel]
Submitted by: Stop it Rick
Basics
Name: Eve Sanders
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Birthday: December 15, 1994
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Hair color: Blonde
Eye color: Purple
[Xan said some eye colors can look purple so I can accept this.]
Height: 5'5''
Weight: 135 lbs
Other physical descriptions: She has an athletic build. Eve is dedicated to training, not wanting to stop until she has sweat through her shirt and feels like she barely has enough energy to walk. Granted, that can't happen since CHB has set times for her training and eating hours, but she tries anyway. She has broader shoulders and a large chest for a fifteen year old, which she always tries to downplay as much as possible. She has a terrible farmers tan due to the fact she almost exclusively wears short sleeved camp shirts, and occasionally tries to even out her skintone by throwing on a tank top every once in a while. She is a bit more muscular than lean, and her legs are dotted with small scars from when she was younger and had a few sparring sessions that went haywire.
Sexual orientation: Aromantic/Asexual
[Yay! Representation! For people who don't know, aromantic means that someone doesn't feel romantic attraction and asexual means that someone doesn't feel sexual attraction.]
Personality
Positive traits: Eve is very dedicated to her friends and is very emotionally invested in people she cares about. She holds her own with some of the more cocky men, and has an aura of confidence about her. She tries to keep a good relationship with her half-siblings. She always tells the truth and speaks her mind.
Negative traits: Eve is very stubborn, to the point of now wanting to go to bed until she's won a sparring match with her opponent. She isn't always quick to give in to others, and can speak without a filter. [complements the whole "speaks her mind" part. That's good!] She tends to say the wrong things due to always speaking before she can put words together correctly. Eve can be too aggressive, when newer campers would eye her or make comments that regarded her negatively or sexually (big no-no for her), she tended to get into fights.
Fears/Phobias: Atychiphobia: Fear of Failure (I googled it to make sure) [Yay! Someone who does her research. Could explain why she has a fear of failure?]
Fatal Flaw: Hubris: Pride. She tends to hold herself to a high standard and is determined to be the best.
[Given her stubborn personality, that's to be expected. Nice one!]
Family and Background
Godly Parent: Dionysus
[Hmmm... still not sure about this since Dionysus has been suspended to CHB and it's implied that he only has two demigod kids and one of them died (Bacchus would be the one with more) but okay, I guess. I'll consult with some people about this, okay? :) ]
Mortal Parent: Marilyn Sanders
Other relationships: Amira Jones: Best friend (will be submitted later)
Calum Baxter: Best friends (to be submitted as well)
[looking forward to them!]
Backstory: Marilyn Sanders was a lover of the arts, theater, and an advocate for those who didn't fit the heterosexual/cisgender majority. Dionysus found her an admirable mortal, and began watching her life. In the least creepy way possible. As Marilyn's life progressed she began directing community theaters in Arizona, and was nominated for awards for her directing. Dionysus felt the need to introduce himself and the two hit it off instantly. They had talked for hours about life, politics, beliefs, social standards, almost everything they could. Time went on and the two were closer, and of course, Marilyn found she was pregnant. Dionysus stayed as much as he could, but he was afraid of Zeus. Marilyn understood and let Dionysus leave.
When Eve was born, Marilyn knew by the color of her eyes her daughter would be powerful. She tried to raise Eve as a normal child, and it worked for a number of years until she was 11. Her mother knew by then that keeping eve safe and unaware would be harder for her to do. Being unaware would backfire as well, and she just packed up eve's clothes and drove her to Camp Half Blood. There, Eve began to stay and the Hermes cabin for one night until Dionysus saw her. The short blonde 11 year old with a fire in those purple eyes of hers. He claimed her by doing a simple, "She's my kid." and being done with the extravagance. Eve had befriended Percy Jackson, the boy one year older than her. They fought during training and tended to sneak out to the lake to tell stupid stories and talk about life. She hit a growth spurt at 13 and began to reach his height, but by the next summer he was taller again. They constantly would make fun of each other, and they spent so much time together that some thought she liked him. She would try to stress that she didn't, but they never believed her. In fact, he went on about Annabeth often, and she was all for them getting together. They were her OTP. (canon bent for the sake of my fic )
[*awkward silence* Well, if she doesn't outshine the wrong people? Honestly, I think Percy would have a lot of friends at Camp so I guess this is okay?]
Combat-related questions
Camp: Camp Half-Blood
Weapon of choice: She has a longsword that she obtained from the armory, with a black leather handle. She had named it 'Pericer'.
[Pericer or Piercer? And why? Just saying, "Iapetus" was nicknamed "The Piercer" so I don't think naming a sword "Piercer would be right." (Kara, cutting in just for this part because weapons.) Also, longsword? That's not exactly a Greek weapon. The weapons (with the exception of the guns Annabeth showed in CHB which were stated as "just in case" if my memory serves me right) at CHB are all Greek weapons. The Greek fighting style is their inherent fighting style so it doesn't make sense for them to be using any Western weapon. We'll make a chapter in our References thing about Greek and Roman weapons when we have the time. Okay, now back to Laurel.]
Powers and Abilities: She can induce madness, but only in extreme fear, anger, or sadness. It takes a lot from her as with most powers.
[Can you state a little more on the limits of the powers? Like, how long does the madness last and the intervals at which she can use the power. That's all, just so she's not so overpowered.
Comments:
Honestly, I think you should just make her Roman instead since that would have less complications in terms of parentage etc., but I guess she works. Just clarify the weapons and the powers and abilities portion like we mentioned.
