History: Michael Osborne was a typical college student studying to be a science teacher when he met America's mother, who introduced herself as Mary, while he was working in a restaurant. After a couple month's of dating, Ariadne left suddenly, which left Michael confused and broken. When Michael had finally moved on from Mary, she visited him again, this time with a baby. His baby. Mary revealed her true self: she was Ariadne, the goddess, and his daughter would be half-god. She told him about monsters and how the child might be attacked in later years. Ariadne left him and the baby with two things: Bracelets that were to be given to the child only when she was told of her true identity. She also told Michael that when the time was right, her child would only need to "Squeeze the blue charms for help"

Michael took the bracelets and put them in his late mother's old jewlery box, which belonged to him. He then took his saved money to buy himself an apartment so he could live with his daughter, who he named America Roxana. She was nicknamed Meri. America was obviously after his country, which he loved, and he chose Roxana for it meant "Brilliant".

Michael loved America with all his heart. He adored her and went out of his way to make sure she had the best childhood possible. She would stay with Michael's brother when he was at classes, and Michael would rush home just to see her. Despite their lack of money, they were happy, and through every struggle, the two had each other. Meri struggled through her diagnosed ADHD and Dyslexia, but she worked her way through. Things started looking up after Michael had settled into his career. He was living on Long Island with America, and he had a good job at a local high school. Things went great for years until America turned twelve.

On her fourteenth birthday, Michael told Meri about her true mother, and about Meri's true identity. He told her everything about the world she came from. He gave her the bracelets, and the instructions to squeeze the blue buttons on the bracelets for help. America resented him for lying to her for all these years at first, and their relationship grew strained. However, she wore the bracelets in fear of monsters. They came in handy a couple of months later, when she was walking from school and got attacked by an empousa. In a fright, she squeezed the charm on her bracelet and they turned into two celestial bronze daggers. Relying on nothing but instinct, America proceeded to kill the creature, but not without getting hurt. Meri was hospitalized, and she and her father reconnected. He apologized for never telling her of her mother, and she apologized for shutting her out.

America didn't have many friends. She didn't really like people, so she didn't care that much. Of the few friends that she had, there was one named Jessica. A couple of months after her hospitalization, she was attacked again, this time by a hellhound. Jessica, who turned out to be a satyr, was there to help Meri this time. After the attack, Jessica informed Michael and Meri that Meri should attend camp half-blood, a camp for children like her. Michael reluctantly agreed, knowing that it would be safer for her there.

America and Jessica made it to camp safely.

Possessions/Weapons: Two bracelets that turn into two twin celestial bronze daggers.
