Titles: Daughter of Apate; Cheat of New York

God Parent: Apate, Hermes, Athena

Current Age: 14

Mortal Parent: Malcus Schulten (Deceased)

Appearance: Although she originally took the appearance of a poor girl wearing tattered clothes from a 1980s middle-class Brooklyn catalog, she has renewed herself at camp. Adeline is 5'5", and weighs 112 lbs. She is a light-skinned Caucasian with long dark hair, and has a grayish-green eyes.

Personality: Adeline is the direct opposite of the meaning of her name. Not exactly a socially active person, Adeline aims to finish first or get things over with. Luckily she can balance accuracy with speed. When it comes to friends, Adeline isn't the most talkative, however interesting topics can grab ahold of her. She doesn't take things very seriously, and joints of humor often pop up. Nonetheless, she's always focused on the most important objectives, especially when it comes to her favorite hobby, pranks. Adeline is very brave and adaptive, and she has rather great intelligence, but not in academics. On the downside, Adeline is easily offended, and would rather shoot back with wit than be a peacekeeper. However, she is not harmed by embarassment. But this trait along wth others makes up her best strength: never giving up. Her pranks can get seriously out-of-hand, getting her into alot of trouble. Adeline has great wit and is very clever. She is also equipped with her famous stare down that makes your gut twist and want to think you just got a bad fortune cookie. Half a decade of life on the streets and training from Dolos has made her ruthless, tough, sly, smart, quick, and highly experienced in the art of thievery and deception. In addition, she has a case of ADHD. Moral is, don't mess with the wrong side of this girl.

History:

In 1989, CIA operative field agent, Malcus Schulten, returns home from his Cold War operations in Belarus. His success provides the assassination of an infamous Soviet official. Tired, Malcus ends his international career, and turns to the affairs of the US federal government by joining the FBI in 1996. He goes under the command of Idina Akimov (Apate), a FBI leader and former CIA field agent who acted as a double agent on the Russian KGB, and apparently another of Apate's alter egos. She admires his skill, and Malcus eventually wins the heart of Idina. Levels of love rose in several months and in 1998, Idina was pregnant to Malcus' demigod daughter.

But before Idina, or Apate, must go through the process of leave, Malcus is killed in action during an operation against an American crime syndicate. Idina then gives the girl up to an orphanage in New York City. The girl is unofficially given, as she is left by the doorstep. The authorities use a DNA scan to find the girl's parents, discovering she is the daughter of the dead Malcus Schulten, the most likely choice due to his death. The girl's first name is unknown, so she is named Adeline by the orphange guardians.

Little Adeline was the exact opposite of a perfect child. She was the greatest prankster at her orphanage, and had so many school suspensions that Winter Break equaled her time in suspension. She was also expelled from a whole school trimester in 4th grade by dumping wheat flour on all of the kids and the teacher in the classroom while she had prepared an umbrella (It's a long story), and apparently one child was allergic to wheat. She felt her orphanage was a prison, so she ran away from the orphanage at age 9. She was deemed wanted.

For four years Adeline ran through the streets of NYC. She lived with the homeless; using money she stole to buy food, and she lived as a petty theft, shoplifter, trickster, and expert liar (She has a collection of wallets she stole placed in a cardboard box). For those three years she unintentionally used her powers in action. She unintentionally controlled those who gave chase, such as making people spill coffee or tea into faces or making them trip on untied shoelaces without touching them (Apate children's power to control items to go against a master's will), and accidentally creating mental illusions that further hid her theft actions, unbeknownst to her. She commonly wore a handmade mask out of garbage materials. Around the age of ten, Adeline befriended a runaway American shorthair cat, whom she named Dust. Dust mostly wanders off, but may accompany Adeline at some points.

At age 13, Adeline gained the attention of a minor crime gang led by a young man named Dover, who is an expert trickster. Dover is actually the male counterpart "little brother" of Apate, Dolos, the demon deity of trickery, and the rest of the gang are actually Dolos' fellow sprites and creatures that left Pandora's Box year ago.

The gang is made up of Ami Chan (Amichania - embarassment), Enoch (Enochi - guilt), Ana Arky (Anarchia - anarchy), and many other Pandora's box demons.

Dover/Dolos recognizes the girl's godly side and potential and a similarity to his sister, Apate. Dover takes Adeline in, believing he should protect the demigod from possible monsters, as her scent has increased during her growth. Dolos gives her a pocket knife with multiple tools, as well as three blades. One blade is regular steel, another is celestial bronze, and the third one, between the other two, can transform into a half steel, half celestial bronze dirk (short sword) if the master wishes it does. εξαπάτηση, or exapatisi, is engraved on the handle, which is Greek for Deception. Dolos tutors her in academics as well as techniques in surviving the streets, including self-defense. He also teaches her about Greek mythology.

First Monster Encounter: Cyclops and Hellhound 13-year-old Adeline wanders through the alleyways to her beggar's home alone at night, along with her cat Dust. But just as she makes the final turns to her home, she is confronted by what appears to be a police officer, armed with a nightstick, and a police dog, a barking, large german shepherd. Dust immediately runs off at the sight of the dog. The officer's motorcycle helmet blocks his face. His dog tries to lung forward but the officer pulls on its leash, whispering something in a different language. It is Greek, and Adeline is able to understand that he said: "Didn't you want to eat her alive." Adeline gets ready to run. The police officer lunges toward her while the hound stood, growling. With desperate measures, Adeline tries dodge the attack, but she is grabbed and arm hugged by the neck. Adeline is able to bite down, and yank the motorcycle keys off the officer's belt. The dog jumps at her, only for her to dodge again, and she heads straight for the motorcycle, and right before she takes off, the police officer takes of his helmet to reveal one eye. Before she can observe longer, the dog jumps at her, and she starts the motorcycle and speeds off. When looking back, she sees a the dog, now transformed, into a demonic and large version of the original dog; a hellhound. But she has no time to observe longer, so she takes off to Dover's house, the hellhound far behind. Adeline doesn't give much detail about the incident when explaining to Dover/Dolos. Dolos feels something isn't right, so he tells her to be more careful. Later on, Dust returns to Adeline.

Second Monster Encounter: Amicoids It is 2013, and Adeline is now age 14. Lost in the Bronx along with one of Dover/Dolos' fellow demon accomplice in human form, named Ami Chan (Ami Chan is actually Amichania, a demon from Pandora's box that represents embarassment). She is asking for directions, and comes across a nice gentleman on his iPhone. She doesn't know that this man is an Amicoid, posing with an iPhone, as an iPhone comes with a GPS. Adeline and Bill ask the man for directions to the subway station, and searching on his iPhone, the "man" gives them directions; false directions, that will lead them to a trap. As Adeline and Bill walk toward the given destination, the Amicoid continues to "call some friends." At the given destination, Bill and Adeline are confused, wondering if the directions were wrong, and soon Amicoids disguised as the former man and some "friends." The man's iPhone changes into a sword, bewildering Adeline. Bill tells Adeline to run, and she does, and while looking back, she sees Bill, only he had goat legs. After running far, Adeline faints.

Adeline wakes up in a jail cell, where a large police officer is standing outside. The officer is wearing a police helmet covering his face yet again, and lifts it up to reveal his one eye, and laughs wickedly. Adeline is disgusted, confused, and scared, but courage grabs ahold of her like a doll and pulls the pin to speak. Adeline uses the Brer Rabbit vs. Brer Fox approach to get out of the situation. She tricks the cyclops into calling "her dad," who is actually Dover/Dolos. Dover arrives, and kills the Cyclops with a celestial bronze bullet-loaded handgun. They escape the police station, but engage in a police chase. They are able to lose the authorities and take refuge in a warehouse. Dover explains how everything about Greek mythology is real, as well as what he knows about her mother Apate. He reveals his true demon form and his place as demon of trickery and deception. He also explains her weapon and its powers.

The next morning, Adeline is woken up on a bus. Dolos tells her to get off and go take the secret subway, a project by Hermes built specifically for non-mortals. The subway does not permit violence and therefore she is safe on the subway. He tells her to ride to a Long island port where a taxi can take her to sanctuary.

Adeline gets on the special train by flicking a drachma into the tracks, but she is followed by the Amicoid. Because violence is not permitted on the train, the Amicoid cannot apprehend her, so they make a staring stand off at one another. Once the train gets to the Long Island port station, Adeline speeds off, with the Amicoid on her tail. She finds the taxi, one specifically colored in gray as Dolos had explained, only to find three abnormal old ladies in the car. Because of the "one-at-a-time" rule, the Amicoid is unable to reach Adeline, much to her contentment. The ladies speed of at an abnormal speed, and soon enough Adeline finds out the drivers are the physically demented Gray Sisters. Adeline is able to maintain calmness in the taxi (barely), which brings her to the small town outside of the woodland sanctuary. After exiting the taxi, Adeline stumbles across the sidewalk, vomits, and falls unconcious.

The following day, Aveline wakes up on her bed in the Infirmary. A cup with honey-like liquid in it had a stickie-note stuck to it saying "Drink Me" and a large box with holes punctured in it labeled "Open Me" is on the nearby table. In the box is her cat, Dust, sleeping, and a letter from Dolos. After reading the letter, she gets up to leave, and enter the beyond.
