Claiming:Camp/Spirit Rivers

Name: Spirit Seung Rivers

Gender: Female

God Parent: Pandia, Hecate, Melinoe

Mortal Parent: Matthew Devera

Appearance:

Personality: Spirit can be very reserved, but tends to open up quickly. Her biggest flaw is trusting people too quickly. She is free-spirited, hates following rules but doesn't want to break them for fear of punishment. People would describe her as "kind, reflective, and even-headed." (Creds to Wind) She tends to daydream and get lost in her fantasy world, and can be quite timid around those who seem intimidating to her. But inside, she is "loud and obnoxious", as she would describe herself. She has a childlike and somewhat rebellious spirit and has a talent for making others smile.

Spirit has a great love for all animal life...except bugs. She is a natural-born equestrian who has great bonds with horses and has an exceptional talent for training, handling, and riding them. Cats and dogs also tend to love her very quickly. She has a great talent with all animals, both domestic and wild. She also tends to fall in love easily, many times with the wrong or out-of-her-league people.

History: Matthew Devera was a young man at 22, a transfer student from the Phillipines. He was in his final year at NYU and his buddies decided to throw a little night party. After they graduated, he went to the party, on a starlit beach, bathed in moonlight. His best friend introduced him to a dashing young lady by the name of Bella, who was Pandia in mortal form.

Matthew claims she was the "most beautiful girl he had ever seen", and flirted with her all through the night. His friend went our and bought the party a big bottle of whiskey. Matthew got incredibly hammered and so did Bella/Pandia. In a drunken, romantic stupor they went to Matthew's friend's nearby house for the night and did....well, it.

Matthew lost touch with Bella, and a year later he found a baby girl at his doorstep. She was the spitting image of her mother. He loved me as much as a father could, and taught me about our rich Filpino-Korena heritage and had given me the name Seung. But when I was five, our normal, typical father-and-daughter life ended with a screeching stop when my dad got in a car accident. My cousin took me in, and I had to adapt to the rich, wealthy lifestyle she had sucked me into. Anything I wanted, I got. My wish was at her command. She was a succesful fashion designer.

Althought I sound spoiled and obnoxious, I'm really not-there's only so much fortune a girl really needs. But otherwise I was happy with my cousin, wealth and money besides. I was sweetfully unaware of my demigod status, the scent I was giving off.

When I was twelve, though, my cousin decided we should travel. Like gypsies, we were. Never staying in one place. My wealthy and rich life ended when we packed our things, booked into a little trailer, and traveled the world. My cousinwas still a designer, touring the world and overseeing her stores. But because of this, monsters found it harder to scent me. Sure, I got a few monster attacks, but I somehow always survived and my cousin always told me to ignore it.

When I was fifteen, we made a stop in Long Island, and while I was relaxing outside, I was jumped by an empousa. Her talons left permanent scars all along my collarbone. Suddenly, my aunt appeared with a bow and arrow and shot the empousa straight in the neck. She took my hand and I was enveloped in shadows. When everything came to, I was at Camp. Long story short, my cousin is a Camp veteran, daughter of Hades who had tried to hide the demigod world from me. She promised me everything was going to be okay, then gave me her trusty bow, making me swear to do my best. I was then claimed into Pandia's Cabin.

Weapons: A bow from her cousin.
