Claiming:Camp/Katerina Kartos

Name: Nikola Kartos

Gender: Female

Age: 16

God Parent: Hades, Zeus, or Apollo

Mortal Parent: Nancy Kartos

Appearance: Nina Dobrev

Personality: Nikola is very intelligent, and she uses that to her advantage. Although she doesn't show it, she enjoys making people laugh with her dry, sarcastic humor. When you first see her, you'll think of her as a girl who is not looking to be in the limelight, and sort of dull. But when you get to know her, you'll see that she is very loyal, and takes trust very seriously, but lightens your day with personality. She has a short temper and she tries to hold it in, but tends to have angry outbursts which result in a few magical mishaps. Nikola tries really hard to make people think she doesn't have a care in the world, and that she hardly has any emotional issues, but truthfully, she's scared of judgement and getting hurt. She's scared of judgement from her father, her friends, even her enemies.

History: After Nancy Kartos got her degree in archaeology from the University of Waterloo, she got a job at the Royal Ontario Museum. Her main job was focused on greek mythology, so she travelled to Greece a lot. She once got an invite to go to a small museum in New York for a dinner they were holding for talented individuals of her profession. There she met Hades, who was disguised as a wealthy sponsor for the museum. They shared a drink and talked for hours upon hours, completely ignoring time as it passed by. They were in love, Nancy didn't care he was a god, and were together for a year and a half. And then Nikola was born, named after Nancy's mother, and Hades disappeared right before Nikola's 1st birthday.

Nikola Katerina Kartos was born on June 11th, 1997 in Toronto, Ontario. From a young age she was very quiet, but had random fits, calling for her father. When she was 7, she and her mother moved to New York, to stay with her grandmother. Nikola always asked questions about her father, but her mother would brush them off and then go to her room and start to sob, and her grandmother would always say how evil of a man he was, and how he was a bad omen. Nikola didn't have very many friends as a child, but the ones she had were close enough. She knew she was different, but she didn't mind. Then on a terrible afternoon in the winter of 2007, Nikola's grandmother died. This hurt Nikola more than anything ever before, but that pain was short lived because she discovered she could still talk to her grandmother, and as scary and interesting as that power was, she didn't tell a soul.

Nikola and her mother went out to dinner one night for pizza to a run down diner when it was attacked by a strange skeletal army, and were followed in by a pair of teenagers, both around her age,16-17, and this goat/human hybrid. They fought, and  Nikola thought she was going insane because no one else seemed to notice. Perhaps they thought it was a regular bar fight, but Nikola saw the truth. She started panicking and screamed. This made the skeletal army diasappear, and the goat/human hybrid (later she found out it was a Satyr) noticed. He brought her mother to a separate table and as they were speaking, her mother started to cry, but nodded in agreement to whatever the satyr was saying. Then the satyr walked off to his friends and they spoke, looked at her with interest. Her mother walked over to her and started saying how she was incredibly sorry and that Nikola would understand everything now. She told her that tonight would be the last night they'd see each other for a while, but it wouldn't be the last. She then said to trust the three strangers and that she'd be safe with them, and thus Nikola started her journey to Camp Half-Blood. Upon arriving to camp, Nikola got claimed by Hades during dinner. She's a year round camper, as her mother is travelling a lot due to her job.

Weapons: A pair of Celestal Bronze daggers
