 History: 

 Ian Ntsimango met Nyx in his hometown, Cape Town, South Africa. He was a cardiac surgeon, but what he really loved was stargazing. One night, he went to the local park to do it, as it was one of the nights when you could see shooting stars. The stars began to fall, and a woman sat next to Ian. They spent a few hours talking, and fell in love. They were happy couple for two months, until she left. Ian searched for her, but he couldn’t find any signs of her anywhere. He finally gave up, depressed. But half a year later he found a baby girl on his doorstep- his daughter. He named her Coira.

 Coira had a good childhood. She played with her father a lot- he had to invent new games every day as she was always full of energy. When she went to school for the first time, she couldn’t stand sitting in a classroom. Teachers thought she was just lazy or didn’t want to learn, but her father knew that something else must have caused it. He sent Coira to diagnosis, and she turned out to have ADHD. It stopped the teachers from calling her an ignoramus, but she still had major learning problems. Ian worked hard with her at home and soon she started to do better.

 When Coira was 13, a few Stymphalian birds attacked her on her way home. She recalled what they were and that they can be scared away with loud noises from school, so she used a small speaker,   her phone and some awful songs to get rid of them. She didn’t tell Ian about it not to worry him.

 In her teens, she became even more cheeky and rebellious, but her father helped her a lot and was generally very supportive. Even when she decided to get a tattoo, he told her to just consider the fact that it’s not removable. Ian got married when his daughter was 14, and she liked her stepmother, Elize, very much. They were generally a happy family.

 But the demigod still wasn’t safe. When she was 16, she was attacked again. A small hellhound caught her while going to school along with Carl, one of her classmates. To her surprise, Carl wasn’t shocked by the monster at all (as he was really a satyr in disguise). He gave her a Celestial Bronze sword which she used to kill the aggressive hellhound. Then he revealed who they both were and told her about Camp Half-blood. She understood that she had to go there, even though she didn’t want to leave her family. It’s her first day there now.

 Weapons:  Stygian Iron sword (from the camp armory)
