 History: Franklin Bloom was a farmer (which is probably why Demeter had the hots for him), living in Tenesee, where he met Demeter. He never knew she was a goddess, however, and was heartbroken when she left. But before she went, she left him with a newborn girl, whom she christened Lilian Penelope Bloom, another demigod daughter.

During her early years, she was already labeled a troublemaker, and she was often in the middle of events no one could explain. On her second grace field trip to a farm, her archenemy, the school bully, antagonized Lilian into hanging him upside down by his ankles with apple tree branches. She was diagnosed with dyslexia in fourth grade, then with ADD and ADHD in fifth grade. Which, of course, lead to more teasing, bullying, name-calling, all that loveliness. She didn't know she was a demigod. Her first monster attack was twelve, when she was walking home from school. She only survived because of a stranger, who stabbed the hellhound and left a Celestial bronze knife and a curious map for Lilian. The unknown person disappeared before she could even say thank you. Her father wondered where she'd gotten her scapes and bruises, but did not pry, much to his daughter's relief. Lilian pondered where the map led to, when it indeed led her to Camp Half-Blood, but loyalty to her father and disinclination to go somewhere far away, somewhere she didn't know even exsisted kept her from going there. Lilian kept the map safely tucked away, on her at all times.

The second time, it was a dracaena. Lilian had been out in the woods behind her father's crop, enjoying nature, when dracaena slithered up to ambush her, but with a little luck, and with a instinctive little use of her powers, she defeated it by choking it with vines, then stabbing it with her knife. Unfortunately, the sudden use of her powers exhausted Lilian. She started practicing her powers and started practicing with her knife. But she had to balance it out, because she figured out that the more she practiced her skills, the more frequent the monster attacks would get.

When she was thirteen, two Cylcopes and a hellhound set the Harvestman's house on fire. Forcing them out of the house, the monster caught Lilian, but her father, who could see relatively well through the Mist, saved her by driving his combine over the the Cyclops, telling her to run. Lilian took the chance and summoned long, thorny weeds to grow out of the ground and stabbed the monster's hands, causing him to drop her. The Cyclops, in a murderous rage, grabbed Harvestman off the combine and swept his axe through her father, killing him instantly because the axe was not Celestial bronze, it was made of iron. Lilian attacked the Cyclops in complete mad sorrow, ravaged with grief. She battled and managed to kill that one, but soon she was overwhelmed and had to run, leaving her home and everything she had behind. She had only the clothes on her back and the Celestial bronze knife and map given to her from the demigod that had saved her life. She also had a painful reminders of the battle: a scar running vertically down her left forearm, and several burns on both her arms and lower legs, injuries that would fade but never entirely invisible.

For several weeks, she lived as a wild child, hiding from monsters and humans, afriad they would take her to a foster home. The Cyclops and hellhound that had been at her house pursued her, but she evaded and eventually killed them with trickery and a little usage of her powers. She scrounged for food and looked in dumpsters for supplies, and found a backpack, flashlight, and usable lighter, which she still has with her to this day. She admittedly bent the law at times, to survive monster attacks, and lived off vending machine candy and take-out with the money stolen in a not-so-honest way. She did odd jobs at first, to discreetly pay back the people she'd taken things from, but soon realized authorities would start questioning, so she gradually traveled to a big city, Chicago, where nobody would question her.

Once she battled and defeated some karpoi, who really seemed to hate her because they said she was a child of Demeter. She had been walking across an empty field in Kentucky, when a grain spirit came up and grabbed her ankle, knocking her knife out of her hand. Lilian had sensed it and tried to use the grain around her with her powers, but the karpoi resisted, so instead, she took out a lighter and threatened them with it, allowing her free passage through the field, plus getting her knife back.

She made it to Chicago, mostly by walking, sometimes by hitching rides, and lived there in the streets, doing odd jobs and fending off monsters that someimtes attacked. She avoided gangs of other kids and lived alone, so she could move about as she wanted to and no one could tell her what to do.

Each week she survived, and each time her demigod scent grew stronger. Several hellhounds, Cyclopes, dracanae, and piles of yellow dust later, (about two months), a satyr named Brody Oakland found her, and with a little convincing on the satyr's part, they rushed to Camp Half-Blood, battling and hiding from monsters the whole way. A few times, Lilian consulted her map, a useful tool along the way, because Brody's sense of direction was sometimes muddled by the scent of monsters. She finally realized that the demigod who had helepd her was probably someone like her, and he or she had given Lilian a map to help find Camp Half-Blood. By the time they got there, she was fourteen years old. At first Lilian didn't exactly know what to think about Camp Half-Blood, but gradually she grew to like it, and now it is her home, just as it is to many other Greek demigods.

 Weapons: A belt woven from a wheat-like substance with two charms, one you could tap, and it would morph into a sword, sheathed in a scabbard, and the other tapped a silver knife. They both turned back into charms when a certain spot is tapped on the hilt. Though it is made of wheat, it will not burn. Also, the Celestial bronze knife given to her by an anonymous demigod.

okay you need to 3 godparent choices for one. two she would'nt get monster attacks that young without being a big 3 kid and 3 she would'nt get the attacks or the powers till early puberty

Kindly add more to her early childhood. You left a big gap from being left with her father to suddenly being twelve. Also, if she had been practicing her powers since twelve, monsters would have frequently went for her because when a demigod practices his/her powers, his/her scent grows stronger. Now since you stated monster did go after her, kindly specify which monsters attacked. An entire horde of monsters would not suddenly rush to her house. Perhaps two or three at the same time but definitely not an entire horde.

If the monster attacks started at age 12, you need to describe some of these attacks more specifically. What monsters attacked her? What kind of damage did they cause? How did she defeat or escape from them?

Her father would be hard pressed to tackle a cyclops as they can range in height from the size of a teenager (a baby) to 5 times the height of a fully grown human (one of the larger ones). Also America doesn't use orphanages foster homes are used instead.

Believe me, if a dad is mad enough, he would be able to do things he wouldn't normally do. But i'll change it. And thanks for reviewing. :)

How was she able to survive for months with nothing but her clothes and a dagger? How did she come across the karpoi? Kindly add in her age when she was first attacked same as when she arrived at Camp.

We have a strict name policy where someone can't have the same as someone famous, first and last. Please fix the issue

I fixed it! :)  Thanks for checking, please check frequently, i will be able to fix all issues.

Who/what is the stranger that saves her from the first monster attack?

"Lilian pondered where the map led to, when it indeed led her to Camp Half-Blood..." Does this mean she actually went to Camp? Why would she keep the map with her at all times when it appeared she had no interest in ever leaving? If she had the map all along, why didn't she use it to navigate her way to Camp after she fled from her house?
