Claiming:Camp/Lolita "Lita" Cruz



Name: Lolita “Lita” Cruz

Age: 16

Godly Parent: Ares

Mortal Parent: Isis Cruz

Title: War-Torn Barbie

Personality:

She’s a plastic. Cold, hard, shiny plastic. Lita was raised by her mother and a constant stream of boyfriends. Her chaotic upbringing makes her long for boundaries, even ones imposed by herself. She’s manipulative and a total control-freak. War is a means to an end, Lita would much rather impose her own brand of civil order on her clique than cause outright chaos.

Initially she comes across as a sweet girly girl, who is confident of her sexuality. She is socially intelligent, and she knows how to use people’s insecurities to her own advantage. However, Lita relates more to men, having been surrounded by them for most of her life. Although she’s misguided, Lita has a warrior’s spirit.

Weapons:

Lita is a pretty capable fighter. Her natural talents and latent aggression allow her to intimidate or scare others in a fight. She’s capable with an assortment of weapons like most Ares kids. In battle, she wields a Celestial Bronze sword which Ares gave to her. When not in use, the sword turns into a fashionable crown shaped necklace. She also owns a pair of CB knuckles, just in case she has to fight hand to hand.

History:

Isis Cruz worked as a wrestler in the WWE. She was one of the heels, (villains) and became known for her savage attacks and her over-the-top taunts. This combination of beauty and savagery attracted the attention of Ares. He watched her from afar, and waited for his chance. One day, he approached her while she was training. He claimed to be her new personal trainer and the two spent several days working out with each other. He was impressed by her training and the two became close, physically and romantically. After a few weeks of dating, they ended up having sex on the wrestling mat after practice. By the end of the “session”, he made his excuses and left.

Isis found out she was pregnant a couple of weeks later. She disagreed with abortion, so she decided to keep the child. As she would have to raise Lita on her own, Isis hid her pregnancy and kept on wrestling to try and save up some money. She got kicked out of the ring after showing symptoms of pregnancy. She gave birth to Lita a couple of months later. Ares came to witness her birth, where he explained that he wasn’t the man he claimed to be. Although he was unable to stay and raise his daughter, he promised Isis that he would watch over her. As a gift, he left behind a crown shaped necklace, which Lita would receive when she was old enough. After a few hours, he disappeared, never to be seen again.

Isis couldn’t wrestle. She settled with an older man, Brandon, who agreed to support the two of them. He was a son of Plutus, who owned a large mansion in the suburbs, where Lita was arguably less likely to come across any monsters. Lita was raised in absolute luxury. She got anything she wanted. Isis never really got over Ares and she kept seeing a constant array of suitors in secret.

After a fight in the canteen, her teachers suggested that Lita should go to martial arts classes to work out her anger. Her mother pushed Lita to do well, as she wanted her daughter to follow in her footsteps and be able to defend herself. She excelled and took extra self-defence classes where she met Janis Ian, a daughter of Thanatos. The two became close after Lita came across a harpy in the seventh grade.

It attacked her after school, disguised as a woman with a very deadly french manicure. Lita screamed at the creature, inadvertently letting out a loud war-cry. The beast was stunned (whether by a direct hit from her Louis Vuitton handbag or her war cry, it’s unknown) and Janis quickly killed it. She explained the truth to the daughter of Ares, whose necklace transformed into a sword. Janis helped Lita train through several after-school sessions in her backyard, to prepare her for her journey to camp.

For a while, everything was going great. Lita seamlessly integrated with the other kids at High School. She was near a 3.0 GPA, excelled at gym class and proved to be popular with all the boys. But she changed after dating her first boyfriend Kyle, in the eighth grade. She missed several lessons with Janis, in favour of hanging out with her boyfriend. When Janis confronted her, Lita spread the rumour that Janis was a lesbian and the two majorly fell out.

Soon, the rumours spread like wildfire. Lita became the scourge of her school. All the girls feared her or they wanted to be her, and boys couldn’t keep their hands off her. Everything went well, until Lita threw a pool party for her fifteenth birthday, without permission. It was all fun and games, until a couple of telekhines slipped into the swimming pool. With only a bikini for protection, the daughter of Ares drained the pool to weaken the creatures and fought them off with her greatsword until Brandon returned to help her finish them off.

Freaking out, her mother forbade her from seeing her friends. Lita was made to spend much more time training, in preparation for her eventual journey to camp. She grew more resentful of Isis, and eventually told Brandon of her infidelity as revenge. Brandon left, causing the family to go bankrupt. Rather than accept her loss of wealth, Lita fought in several clandestine mixed-martial arts tournaments, often lying about her age.

Lita won a string of victories. She agreed to one more match, for a large amount of cash. When it came to the fight, the daughter of Ares was shocked to find out that the challenger was none other than an angry Janis Ian. The alleged lesbian had joined the amazons and taken on several fights, pounding down all who faced her in the ring. The two girls started trading blows, when they were interrupted by a pack of rogue cyclops who detected their scent.

When attacked, Lita caused the cyclops to fight amongst themselves for a short period of time. They started to smash themselves into pieces. Janis and Lita watched the cyclops fight amongst themselves, until a nearby squad of amazons could come to finish them off. As honorary daughters of Ares, they guessed that she was his daughter, the ability to make others fight amongst themselves being one of his powers. Honor-bound to help her, they took Lita home to her mother. Isis was furious that her daughter entered competitions without her permission, and sent away for the time being. The Amazons took her to Camp Half-Blood, where she was claimed by Ares on the spot.
