History: Paloma was born in the late 1700s, approximately 1790. She lived in Spain with her father, a rich noble who had the favor of Charles IV, the king. Paloma grew to be extremely beautiful, and many of the men town expressed interest in her. But Paloma's father dismissed all their courting, for he wanted better for her. He intended to move to another city, one more prosperous, but before that could happen, Paloma started to have frightening premonitions that came in the form of dreams. She persisted in asking her father about them, and eventually he relented and told her the truth: She was a demigod. He had never before commented on Paloma's mother, but now revealed that she had in fact been a beautiful goddess which he had a short fling with. Paloma had assumed that her mother had been a Lady at the royal court, but never dreamed the truth.

Paloma's interest in her mother grew, and she decided she wanted to be closer to her. After all, she believed she had nothing else in her life and had no desire for a life of wealth. She ran away from home, refused her father's command to stay and be married, and prayed to her mother for guidance. She wanted to meet her and be a part of her life. She eventually crossed paths with the Hunters of Artemis. When Artemis explained about her hunters and invited her to join, Paloma at first accepted. She was now about 16, but after all the countless proposals she'd been subject to, had no interest in boys. Paloma roamed the earth with Artemis as a huntress for about twenty years, and enjoyed it. However, sometime after the turn of the century, she did the unthinkable: She fell in love.

While passing through a town one night, she encountered a young man and for some reason was deeply attracted to him. Against her better judgement, she ignored her oath and became completely enamoured with him. When Artemis found this out, she was outraged. She cast Paloma out of the hunt and turned the boy into a jackelope. This was when her bi-polar disorder emerged completely. Paloma was absolutely enraged. Artemis was so angry at Paloma that she cursed her and put her in a sort of frozen state of being. Paloma was still aware of the outside world, but couldn't be a part of it. After 200 years in this state, Artemis released her and took her to camp.
