Name: Amanda Olivia Summer

Gender: Female

God Parent: Aphrodite, Poseidon, Apollo

Mortal Parent: Edgar Raymond Summer

Current age: 15

Appearance:



As a child of Aphrodite, Amanda is considered as beautiful. She has a wealth of long blonde hair and big light blue eyes. She has a tall and slim figure, weighed 120 pounds. She smiles a lot.

Pers onality:

Amanda Summer is a beautiful and lively extrovert. She is outspoken and candid, that she often says the first thing that pops into her mind. She is witty and smart, but she never excels in her academics or anything involving writing. She is also quite impulsive and rebellious. Her behaviour doesn't match her appearance. Despite being a child of Aphrodite, she is quite tomboyish and she expects to be treated smilarly from boys. She is not afraid of creepy things like snakes, frogs, spiders, etc., nor does she like gossiping. She loves playing soccer, tennis and fencing. Some boys at her old school even commented that she has 'wasted her beauty'. Though, in spite of her eccentricities, she is loyal to herself that she doesn't really mind what the others think of her. This makes her get along and become close friends with the both boys and girls. She is loyal and protective of her friends. She would definitely stand up at the first time, when any of her friends is bullied, often saying to the bully,"I'll make you suffer if you hurt her/him!"

 History:

Edgar Summer met and fell in love with Aphrodite, who was attracted by his appearance as well as his easy-going and humorous personality, when he was working as a travel journalist in the U.S., later giving birth to Amanda on 1st August, 1997.

As Edgar has to travel almost all the time for his job, Amanda was mostly taken care of by her grandparents, Pamela and Raymond Summer, who lived in London. Despite having little time to spend with her father, Amanda grew up happily under the care of her grandparents. She also treasured the time that she could spend with her dad on holiday. Pamela and Raymond, who were retired stage actress and actor, were open-minded and humorous people, raising Amanda to become an outspoken and lively extrovert who is loyal to her true self. She can easily get along with the others at the neighboorhood and at school.

When Amanda was seven years old, Raymond died in a traffic accident and Pamela decided to move back to her home country, the US, with little Amanda. They lived in a big loft apartment in Soho. The first year for Pamela was tough but she recovered from sorrow soon with the accompany of Amanda and Edgar, who decided to temporarily work as a teacher at school. To start over, Pamela got herself involved back in acting, co-founding an acting school with a friend. Briefly after, Edgar became back a travel journalist, the job he is most fond of.

Amanda is a beautiful girl even when she was young, but because of her tomboyish personality and behaviour, she was teased by some of her classmates as 'wasting her beauty'. Though, she didn't pay much awareness on what the others think. Despite her eccentricities and the differences in culture of the places that she has lived in, she got along with all her classmates soon after and has become close friends with some of them, because of her genuine, candid and sociable characteristics. Amanda is smart and witty but she doesn't like studying, or anything that involves writing(which is a bit ironic as her father is a journalist). That's why some of her teachers didn't really like her because of her poor grades (she basically failed half of her subjects most of the time), which was just enough to get her promoted every year.

Middle school and high school were more or less the same as elementary school for Amanda, except that she was becoming more beauteous with more boys attracted by her, though many of them were 'scared off' by her boyish personality and behaviour. As always, she didn't care about that. Amanda is a sporty person. In fact, sports was one of her three favourite subjects (the other ones are French studies and Music). When she was in Grade 10, she was the captain of Fencing Team at school.

 At the age of 15, she encountered her first monster. During one of her fencing practices, she was attacked by a Harpy. Shocked and not knowing what was actually happening, she followed her instinct and did the only thing that she knew at that time - she ran - she ran as fast as she could. She was fast, but the Harpy was faster. She broke her right leg in the process of running, and was wounded with a big scratch on her left arm. She thought that she was dying until one of her closest friends, Jack who is actually a satyr, showed up and defended her against the monster, eventually killling it. He took her to her home, briefly bandaged her wounds and explained to her and Pamela everything about Greek gods, Camp Half-Blood, monsters, etc., though it turned out that Pamela knew it all along, told by Edgar, who got a letter from Aphrodite on the same day when she found Amanda on the swing outside of his house when he was on a holiday at home.

Following Jack the satyr, Amanda successfully and safely arrived at Camp Half-Blood. She immediately got her broken leg and wounded arm treated, though a scar was left on her arm. The night she arrived at camp, she was claimed by Aphrodite during the sing-along at the campfire.

Weapons:

A sword with 'καλλίστευμα' (meaning offering what is the most be autiful)  craved on the Celestial Bronze blade, and a beautiful sapphire embedded on the silved handle.
