Archived:Theodosia DeHaven

Personality
Thea is an Introvert and cares about other people a lot but often doesn't really show it. She loves the rain and quiet and values honesty and kindness. The closer you are to her, the more Thea startens to open up and becomes less self-conscious. She is also a very good listener and you can always count on her to help you. The things Thea most hates are any kind of discrimination or injustice.

History
Thea's parents met during a music festival in New York. Though it wasn't more than a short summer fling, when Jamie got pregnant she decided to keep the baby. Aeolus thought best then to tell her the truth about what he was and what would happen if the baby was born. Jamie, always in love with ancient legends and the mythologies of long-lost cultures, didn't hesitate to believe it. As a parting present her lover gifted her a sword of celestial bronze for protection and started training her in the basics of sword-fighting for a few days, which she later continued to train very hard on her own. He also told her, if there ever was the need, there would be a secret place for demi-gods in New York where the child would be safe. He would help guiding them when this day was to arrive. After that, they parted ways.

Theodosia was born on June 6th the following year. Six years after her birth, Theodosia and her mother moved to Germany. Her childhood there passed relatively uneventful, only minor incidents with monsters that her mother was able to protect her from at first. School was sometimes challenging since she would often lose concentration and focus, especially in subjects that didn't interest her. Furthermore, she suffered from anxiety and light ADHD, which didn't make it better. This also led to a sometimes rather rebellious streak of her, when she would become confident and agitated enough to speak out against teachers or any kind of injustice, which then often led to detentions or a fair shade of warnings.

As Theodosia grew older, the urge to get to know and meet her real father got stronger, but Jamie kept the secret about her godly parentage save and never told her. It wasn't until her early teenage years that Thea was finally able to get the truth out of Jamie.

That particular day in May 2011, she and her mother were hiking up a mountain path near where they lived. It was a wonderful morning, the sun shone and strong winds kissed them. Cows grazed on the meadow close to a big, clear mountain lake and the birds sang. But suddenly everything went quiet, the birds cried a warning signal and the cows flew down the hill. Her mother already had a sword in her hand (where she had hided that, Theodosia didn't know) and told Thea to hide behind some nearby rocks. Frightened, Thea did as told. She watched her mother advancing on what she would later know as Telekhines. Jamie was able to keep them away from Thea and quickly killed them. Thea was scared, couldn't believe her own eyes at first. After that, she and her mother sat down and Jamie began to explain and told Thea the truth.

Of course, when Jamie told it, Theodosia wanted to deny this, she didn't want to believe it at first, because how could that be real? She wanted to tell herself that her eyes had tricked her and this was all a dream. But she knew, her mother would never lie to her, especially about things so important like that. So, with some reluctance at the beginning, Thea started accepting the truth that monsters were real and she was a half-god, no matter how strange it sounded. She also wanted to be prepared for the worst-case scenario and because she wanted to not always be depended on her mother, Theodosia began training archery at a local club and picked up sword-fighting with Jamie as her coach.

The sword, with what her mother so often killed monsters, went to Thea. Theodosia's other weapons, a small dagger and the Bow and Arrows weren't any special since she got them at a small shop near her hometown.

Over the years, Theodosia was attacked more often, but she was never alone and always had help from her mother.

When Theodosia was around 18 years old, she started wondering where she could find other demi-gods like her. With the information Aeolus gave Jamie during their summer they were able to locate the area of the Camp. So, after a tearful good-bye with her mother she boarded a plane to New York and made her way to Long Island. What she didn't know (but should have known nonetheless) was that the area was like a magnet for monsters, so it shouldn't have been surprising when she was attacked by one. Having only been in a few real fights, being inexperienced and for the first time alone and only reading about the Harpies in books was a dangerous combination. She was able to defend herself for a while but it quickly drained her strength and she grew exhausted fast. She took hit after hit and when she wasn't able take up her sword again fast enough after it had flown from her hand, one of the Harpies got her and the last thing that Theodosia saw (before she would wake up in an infirmary a few days later) were a group of young people with their weapons drawn and running towards her and the Harpies.

Offensive

 * 1) Children of Aeolus have the ability to create a small tornado, about the size of the user, which can be sent across short distances to knock opponents off their feet or used to send small debris flying at opponents.
 * 2) Children of Aeolus are able to use air itself to slice objects, focusing a current of wind to the point where it takes on a sharp edge, which the caster launches at foes. Although this attack does usually slashing damage, some users are able to focus it into single piercing stab like a bullet.

Defensive

 * 1) Children of Aeolus have the ability to create a dome shaped torrent of wind, roughly two or three times the size of the user, which can be used to block attacks for a very short time.
 * 2) Children of Aeolus have the ability to create powerful gusts of wind, however, the stronger the gust, the more it drains them. The gusts can be used to block incoming attacks.

Passive

 * 1) Children of Aeolus feel stronger when they are touched by strong winds they did not create.
 * 2) Children of Aeolus are innately able to lower air resistance and move faster on the ground, granting them an enhanced level of speed.
 * 3) Children of Aeolus can contain more air in their lungs than the average human, allowing them to survive longer when they cannot gather oxygen.

Supplementary

 * 1) Children of Aeolus have the ability to hover or fly, however, the longer they fly the more it drains them. Due to their rare ability to lower air resistance, users are able to fly faster than anyone else with the ability to fly.
 * 2) Children of Aeolus have the ability to call upon the winds to speed their movements or attacks; conversely this can also be used to slow the movements or attacks of others.
 * 3) Children of Aeolus can use the wind to either surround themselves to block enemies and projectiles or to surround an enemy trapping them within the winds. The longer they maintain the wind, the more it drains.
 * 4) Children of Aeolus can curse an opponent by draining some of the air from an opponent’s lungs and make it somewhat hard for them to breathe for a short time. This leaves them vulnerable to attack or giving the user a chance to flee.
