Archived:Braelyn Nance

Mortal Parent
Eva Nance was never quite right after the man she had Braelyn with left. It was like a fog had been cleared from in front of her and realized that something didn't quite add up with Braelyn's father. That he was different. How he had powers and how he told her the child would have them too. Eva tried to tell others tried to get them to help her, but they all thought she was making stories up trying to gain pity for her and her abandoned child, at worse they thought she was crazy. When Braelyn reached the age of for her mother had a nervous brake down and had to be sent to a hospital. Two years later she was released and she took Braelyn up to New York City. Thinking that the crowds would keep Braelyn safe from whatever Braelyn's father said was going to come after her.

Appearance
No doubt that Braelyn's lovely, with an always barely-there blush that coats her cheeks, her peaches and cream skin tone that never seems to burn, and her slightly upturned nose that gives her the look of an elf or pixie (depending on who you asked). But her physical traits weren't that rare. She has long, thick, blonde hair that seems to rotate from a golden honey color to a few shades darker than platinum depending on the season. Her body is lean from years of dance that her mother subjected her to, but she always seemed to have a layer of lean muscle. Her most stunning trait is her pale violet eyes, that always seem to know more than they let on. They are almond shaped and framed in long brown eyelashes that she inherited from her mother's Italian/Irish family.

Personality
Braelyn always was a charmer, she realized her aptitude for it at a young age. She always could get what she wanted, and that fact scares her now that she's older and realizes that that's not natural. She always smiles and tires to make friends with the girls, but when people get to close to her or boys randomly approach her she goes into cynical/sarcastic mode to try to ward them off. Due to her ability to get people to do things for her she often finds that she cannot trust those that come near her or try to find too much about her, and it certainly doesn't help that she has Daddy issues too. One thing she always does before approaching someone, it to watch them; to figure out their true motives and what they really want from her or the people around her. But make know mistake, a friend with Braelyn is a friend for life.

Since Blake's disapperance, Braelyn has gotten a bit harsher, a bit more sarcastic. This is mostly a defence though

History
Born October 5th, 1995 Braelyn was her mother's pride and joy, that was until her father left them when she was two.After spending the two years after her Mother's nervous breakdown with her grandparents in Louisiana, Her Mother scooped her up and moved up to the Big Apple, and growing up there was an experience. She and her mother lived in an 2 bedroom flat above an Italian bakery and grew steadily accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the big city compared to the small town they both grew up in. By the time she was 10 Braelyn didn't feel comfortable unless she was in a crowd or fell asleep to the smell of canolis and half-moons baking. Also by then she had been in dance for three years and had a steadily growing passion for it. When she was twelve she finally convinced her mother to let her try out as a background dancer in a Broadway show. Needless to say, it went well! Better than anyone could have predicted. But also Braelyn noticed that the casters for the show or the other dancers would treat her differently, they would give her things that she wanted or dance solos that should have gone to better dancers. That's also when she realized that her mother might not have been so crazy after all. After that night she became more drawn back and often took to trying to make herself more unappealing during audition so that she would just get in for talent alone. A year later she stopped auditioning completely, sadly during her last show she had a run in with a monster. The imp-like creature jumped on stage and started chasing Braelyn around calling her name and telling her that she was to be his wife. Needless to say, she was freaked out. After running out the door backstage her wrist was caught by a hand that then began to pull her towards an unmarked door. She soon recognized it as her agent, and was at first confused but became even more so as he took off his shoes and she saw hooves! He pulled her through the door and navigated her through different winding alleys and streets, but only lost the imp after catching two different subways and a ferry. He explained everything to her and the mother after she returned home and the next day she was ferried off to camp half blood.

Weapons
Braelyn is light, lean, and wicked fast due to years of dancing so she favors to carry less heavy weapons and armor, as to not slow her down. Her main weapon was the celestial bronze bow, λαχτάρα, that was given to her as a pecace offering by her Father upon her arrivial at camp half blood. He even had it inlaid with opals, her birthstone. Needless to say, Braelyn and him still aren't on good terms, but this certainly helps. The bow and it's arrows transforms into a locket when not in use that Braelyn always wears.

Powers
For some reason, in Braelyn, her powers to attract the opposite sex and to play with peoples emotions is stronger than others, not that she likes that. If anything it causes her to bottle it up more, which in turn causes her powers to lash out unexpectedly or when she's not paying attention

Her minor love magic isn't very strong since she rarely uses it or trains it

My Thoughts
Yeah when I said things werent working to plan, that was clearly an understatement. Some random guy is attacking the camp, Blake just up and left me! Zues knows where he is now! And no one seems to think I can do anything! Θεοί μας σώσει
