History (more than a paragraph):

Tamsin Mathieu was a party girl. She traveled everywhere, her life was a continuous strand of excitement. She could afford it, too. Tamsin lived off her father's money, and she lived well. She had a different man at least once every night. Until she met Davey. Davey pulled her in like an anchor to a ship. Ironically, he had said that he was a sailor. She knew he couldn't stay long. But Tamsin was hoping to change his mind. How? She got pregnant. Tamsin had planned on using the baby as an excuse for Davey to stay on land, with her. Instead, it had irritated him. Davey left, only leaving a necklace for the child. Not out of love, but of necessity.

Tamsin tried to hate the child growing in her stomach. It had grown to the point where she couldn't get rid of it. But still, she took responsibility and did everything a pregnant woman should do. She got ultrasounds, prenatal vitamins, the works. Soon, the 'it' grew into a 'she'. The 'she' grew into a name - Vera Thessa Mathieu. Vera for, what else, Vera Wang. Thessa for her father, derived from Theseus. A sailor from old myths. Tamsin had learned to love the child. Overall, she'd do her best for the child. Once Vera was born, she even took a job at her father's company, and took it over in the years to come.

Vera grew up with handmaidens, with nurses and servants. Her life was really good. Vera, really, got everything she wanted. She also had a wild imagination. Things she would make up included being able to breathe underwater. Vera was so intent on the fact that she wasn't making it up. Really, she wasn't. But whenever she tried to show her favorite handmaiden or her mother, they would pull her up in a panic when she got over three minutes. Soon, it didn't matter that they didn't believe her. Vera had grown up. Her unusual imagination was soon proved not to be imagined when they had taken a trip to the beach on Vera's eighth birthday, and was attacked by a strange monster. Vera was confronted by a Telekhine. Of course, she didn't know it at the time. She had seen this monster, and, very simply. freaked out. Vera had gotten lucky, it seems. Her necklace had fallen off at some point and, sensing the danger, revealed itself to be a weapon; After the attack, her mother explained that the necklace came from her father. But she's not sure why it was a weapon.

Vera didn't let the sudden attack defer her love of the sea. In fact, their trips to the beach increased. The attacks continued different things at a time. It was mostly Telekhines, but over time it became hellhounds and other monsters. Vera would eventually learn the names of these creatures, only from research. Then, something big happened when she turned 14. A bottle washed up ashore, only to have Vera find it. Curiously, she opened the letter in the bottle, to be faced with a curious scene; A face she didn't recognize, shiny and staring back at her. It talked to her. Turned out, it was her father, Poseidon. He explained everything, from her abilities to the attacks... and eventually, who he was.

Poseidon told Vera of a camp where she'd be safe. She wouldn't attract any more danger to her mother. Vera had decided to take his word for it, as far-fetched as it seemed. He told her how, and Vera arrived at the camp.

Weapon(s) (optional):

A necklace that turns into a spear (Celestial Bronze, given to her by her father)
