History
Parents Meeting: Li Na was a soldier in the Chinese armed forces. She served with valor and had a very decorated career. She met Ares in Beijing while on leave and they immediately took a liking to one another. When they first met, Ares had convinced her of his true identity and she had believed him. The two had an affair and Ares informed her that he had to leave her. At first, she tried to change his mind. But she realized that it was impossible for him to stay and- being a soldier- understood that duty comes first. And Ares had duties of his own. Soon after he left, Li Na would discover that she was pregnant and 9 months later she would give birth to Li Fang. She immediately left the military to raise her child.

Early Life: Li Fang grew up in Beijing, in Northeastern China. Her family wasn't poor, however they weren't exactly loaded either. They were middle-class and lived in a small house. Whenever she asked about her father, her mother would say "Soon it'll all make sense." Li excelled in school and was top of her class. After school, she'd head straight for the martial arts academy. Actually, she went to three. She learned Kung Fu, Taekwondo, and Ninjutsu. She learned fast and would practice for most of the day. She didn't have many friends because she was always either practicing or studying. Her best friend was a boy named Andre. He was from New York and had been living in Beijing since he was 9. One Summers afternoon, when Li was 11, she was walking home from school. She decided to take a shortcut through an alley and here she met a man. She'd been walking and he had just appeared in front of her. She could've sworn he hadn't been there a second ago. He stood directly in her path wearing a leather jacket and black sunglasses. She waited for him to move but he didn't. Instead, he extended his hand; he seemed to be holding something. He uncurled his fingers, revealing a pair of hair chopsticks. They were black with a simple design. The man muttered "Ένα δώρο. Θα ξέρετε πότε να τις χρησιμοποιήσουν." She immediately understood what he'd said: "A gift. You will know when to use them." She didn't know how she knew Greek but she kind of liked it! She reached out and grabbed the sticks. "Κρατήστε τους μαζί σας. Πάντα." (Keep them with you. Always.) With that he turned and left, leaving her alone. Etched in one stick was Πόλεμος (Pólemos or War). Etched in the other was Ειρήνη (Eiríni or Peace). In Chinese, she called them Zhànzhēng and Hépíng. She explained everything to her mother who seemed to know who the man was but did not tell her. She only said "In time, Li. All in time."

First Monster Attack Her first monster attack came when she was 13. She was hanging out with some friends at the park, her chopsticks woven into her hair. While she was chatting with two of her friends, she saw Andre standing about 20ft away- seemingly looking for someone. She went over and starting talking to him. "Oh there you are!" He said, obviously relieved. "Andre what is it?" she asked. "Your friends," he explained. He pointed behind her. Approaching them were her two friends. "Yeah, what about them?" "Look," he said urgently. She looked again and suddenly the girls were not girls- but ugly green ladies with two serpent tails instead of feet. "Scythian Dracaena!" Andre told her. One of the monsters went after Andre- the other half slithered, half walked over to Li. It was armed with a CB sword which it held with both hands. Li was unarmed. She was a practitioner of 3 forms of martial arts. Her only option was obvious. Using Ninjutsu, she dodged multiple attacks. Finally, she made her move. When the dracanae slashed at her vertically, she sidestepped- grabbing the dracanae's left arm with her right hand- and stepped closer. Using her other hand, she grabbed the dracanae's left hand (which was holding the lower hilt). Setting her leg in between the monster's "legs", she flipped it onto its back. Still holding its left arm, she bent it backwards into an arm trap. When it released the sword in pain, she snatched it up and rose, holding the sword with both hands. Furious, the monster lunged at her. As it went airborne, Li rolled under it. It turned and ran at her, howling curses. Li quickly turned with the dracanae, hooking her arm around its neck in a chokehold. She took the opportunity to stab the monster in the gut with its own sword, then let it crumple to dust. Andre finished off his dracanae and together they fled the park. At Li's house, Andre explained everything to her and revealed that she is a demigod. He also revealed that he was a satyr.

Getting To Camp: When Li was 14, she moved to Shanghai. She still took all the same martial arts, just at different schools. Everything had been normal since the Dracanae incident until now. She was riding her bike down a semi-busy street when she saw the first one. She thought she was going crazy but she knew better than that. Then she saw the other two. Three giant scorpions stood on a side street. But they weren't after her. They were fighting two demigods and Andre, snapping at them with their pincers and thrusting their stingers. Of course, one of the monstrosities noticed her and scuttled over a couple of cars until it stood right in front of her. Once again facing danger with no weapon and now none that she could disarm, she resorted to evading. However, she began to tire, and when she moved too sluggishly the beast smacked her aside with one of its strong pincers. She rose slowly and stood to face her death. The scorpion was poised, ready to sting. But before it could, something finally dawned on Li. The strange man's words. She finally understood. She was wearing the hair chopsticks and now she pulled them out. She held Pólemos in her left hand, Eiríni in the right. The sticks suddenly morphed into matching Katanas, their names etched into the black hilts. And with all feelings of fear absent from her mind, she charged the beast. She ducked under a pincer, sidestepped the stinger, and flipped over the other pincer. Still running, she slid under the scorpion, slicing its only weak spot- its soft underside. As she stepped out from underneath it, she began to walk away without even turning back. As the scorpion was dying, it turned and lunged with its stinger. As it fell, its stinger reached Li and stuck into her right calf. Her katanas were already in chopstick form and woven back into her hair. She screamed. Then, Andre came running, calling her name. He sliced the stinger off and she immediately fell, blacking out. When she woke up she was in some kind of battlefield hospital. "Where am I?" she asked, her voice frail and pained. "Camp Half-Blood," Andre answered. "Welcome to New York!" Her calf throbbed and the entire leg felt as if it had been torched by a flamethrower, not stung by a scorpion. "How did you...". "It was nothing," he assured her. "We were just lucky enough to have a large stock of nectar and ambrosia with us. We gave you as much as we could. Fortunately, it was enough to counter the poison." Due to her very basic understanding of the English language, it took her a moment to understand what he had said. "Thank you" she said. She ignored the pain. She was alive.
