Claiming:Camp/Andi Tsami

Name: Anika ‘Andi’ Tsami

Godly Parent: Astraeus

Species: Demigod

Current Age: 15

Mortal parent name: Kana Tsami

Personality: Andi is rebellious and independent, from years of being isolated and not having any parental authority, so she is used to breaking and bending the rules. Because of the being neglected by her mother, Cars and Machines have been her only company for quite some while, so she does not have many social skills and is not very good with understanding and showing emotion. She also has to understand complicated machinery procedures, so she often over thinks everything and makes things more complicated.

   Andi is often the leader of the band, making up her own rules and doing what she wants or creating grand schemes for things to turn out in her favor. She is level headed, and always looks for logical solutions. She is usually rational and calm, so she doesn’t get very angry often. But if she does, you should run and pray to the gods, because she’s probably aiming to kill. Her fatal flaw is holding grudges, if you piss her off enough she will take every chance she can get to take you down or make plans to make your life a   living hell.

History: Kana Tsami emigrated from Japan to Helena, Montana at 10 with her family and her brother, Haru, who she was very close to. The siblings were accepted to the University of Montana at the age of 17, where Kana studied mechanics and her brother studied astrology. Kana was hailed as a brilliant student and a genius, for how quickly she could pick up new subjects and how good she was at building cars. Although she was a dedicated mechanic, Kana was intrigued by her brother’s studies and began to read up on astrology. This turned into her pursuing a minor in Astrology as well. One night she was in a park, observing a meteor shower, and she met a kind man named Arthur (Astraeus).

Kana and Arthur immediately hit it off, he taught her about the stars and she showed him how to build a Ford racing mustang engine in 2 hours. To Arthur, Kana was a breath of fresh air. He found her interesting and different, he found her strong, independent, and she was brutally honest, which was a good change for him. Haru liked him too; Arthur gave him knowledge that no other professor could. When Kana graduated college at 23 with a master’s degree in mechanics, Arthur was credited in her graduation speech. That’s when he realized it had gone too far, they were both in love. Arthur told Kana who he really was and she was heartbroken, she realized that for the first time she was dependent on someone other than herself and she cut it off immediately. Astraeus only left Kana a map to camp half blood and several   celestial bronze throwing knives.

Over the next   few weeks, Kana felt strange and discovered she was pregnant. While Haru was ecstatic about being an uncle, Kana was furious and so were her parents. She wanted to be married before having a child and her parents agreed; within a week of learning about the pregnancy they disowned her. Haru stood by her side and the pair moved Laurel, Montana and bought a mechanics garage. There were less than 4,000 people living there, so the pair thought it would be perfect for raising a demigod.

Anika Katya Tsami was born on March 23 2001, and Haru fell in love with her, vowing to protect her as she would grow up. Andi was a particularly bright child, always asking questions and watching her mother in the garage. Haru taught her about the stars and took a father like role in her life, Kana tutored her in sciences and mechanics. Andi blossomed with her mother and uncle, but they realized there were things they could not teach her, so they sent her to school. At school, she had trouble making friends. The other students did not bully her, but they left her alone and isolated her. They would often spread rumors about her and talk behind her back, but Andi would not care. She did make one friend, Hallina Mendez, who would often come over to Andi’s house and watch her work on machines.

When she was 7, Andi went to the Yellowstone national park for rock climbing. Andi encountered a Cyclopes there, and was chased into the forest. She knew her uncle’s campsite was north of her position, and she followed the stars right to him. Haru and Kana made the immediate decision to enroll her in kickboxing and Karate. Kana also gave her the throwing knives Astraeus left her. A year later, a harpy came tearing through a grocery store she was in and Andi killed it with her throwing knives.

One day when she was 9, Andi, Haru, and Kana were in Helena for a visit with her grandparents. Kana was attempting to patch up her relationship with them when basilisks attacked. Haru and her grandparents were killed, and Andi suffered burns on her legs and stomach. Kana sank into deep depression and neglected her, only paying bills, occasionally helping out in the garage, and grocery shopping. Andi took over the garage with the help of Hallie, mastering her skills in mechanics as well as karate and kickboxing. Years passed and Kana did not get better, Andi started developing weird skills like gravitational manipulation. Hallie scared her by sneaking up behind her, and she was temporarily blinded accidentally by a light beam by Andi. She finally went to speak with Kana who told her about her father, one week later they left for Camp Half Blood. Kana drove fast, so they rarely encountered any monsters, until they reached Pittsburg. A giant scorpion totaled their car and killed Kana. Andi hotwired another car and made it to Camp Half Blood on her own.
