Lindsay Faville

History
Aida Faville met Poseidon on a beach in Hawaii when she was twenty one. She fell in love with him. But like all the rest, Poseidon left Aida just one month later. Adia, heartbroken, went in search of Poseidon. She didn't know he was a God and thought he was lost at sea. She searched and searched but, obviously, she couldn't find him. Adia was so mad at Poseidon. "How could he leave me?" she thought. Adia tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrists. It didn't work. Later, she found out she was pregnant. She was overcome with shame of trying to kill herself and her child. She promised herself she would do anything in her power to raise her child with loving care. Every month, when Adia was pregnant with Lindsay, Adia would go.

Couple months later, Lindsay was born. Adia was lost. She was very young and didn't know a thing about taking care of children. Adia even thought about giving Lindsay up for child care! But in the end, she remembered her promise to herself. Adia managed to move to Rhode Island when Lindsay was six. Lindsay always asked her mother why she had never met her father. Adia always told her he was lost at sea. Despite everything, Adia was a very good parent. She was always doing what was best for Lindsay. Lindsay was bullied a lot when she was in school. Sadly, Adia died in a car crash when Lindsay was only seven. Lindsay was also in the car when Adia died, but Lindsay was unharmed. Adia had thrown herself over Lindsay to protect her and therefore, dying herself.

One month after her mother's death, a social worker brought Lindsay to New York City to stay with her abusive uncle. Lidnsay's uncle was the only relative Lindsay had nearby so naturally, the government sent her there. Lindsay's uncle was first interviewed and when Lindsay first saw him, she thought her was very nice. Turns out, he was cruel and very drunk. Everyday, after her drunk uncle came back from the bar, he would hit her. One day, when Lindsay was ten, her uncle started hitting her harder than usual. Then, he started sexually abusing Lindsay. Sobbing, she called the cops on her uncle. The cops went to her house. When Lindsay's uncle found out that Lidnsay had called the cops, he was furious. He threatened to make Lidnsay's life worse than she could imagine if she told the ploice the truth and that even if he did go to jail, he had some friends who could "do the job". Lindsay, terrified, listened to her uncle. She told the police that she was just kidding around. The ploice questioned Lidnsay and her uncle for a couple hours but in the end, they decided to let Lindsay stay with her uncle. Everyday, her uncle hit her. Lindsay almost ran away. One day though, two months later, a mysterious man moved into the apartment across from hers. She never gave the man much thought but in the back of her mind, she wondered why the man was always looking at her. What Lindsay did not know was that the man was a demigod who was lucky enough to survive to adulthood. He was a cop and he found Lindsay's story very intresting and strange. The goverment was still a bit suspicious and they asked him to live by her to make sure the uncle wasn't actually doing anything to Lindsay. One year later, when Lindsay was eleven, the man (whose name was Steve) saw Lindsay being stalked by a hellhound. Lindsay did not know because this hellhound was blending in with the shadows and Steve just happened to be a son of Hades and he saw. Just as the hellhound was about to pounce, Steve leaped up and killed the monster. He knew Lidnsay was a demigod and he vowed to protect her from mosters and her uncle until he found a way to get her to camp.

Throughout the years, Steve did everything to protect Lindsay from monsters. At first, he wanted to report Lindsay's uncle but then he remembered that if he reported Lindsay's uncle, he couldn't look after Lindsay any more. She would be killed by monsters. So he did everything in his power to protect Lindsay until he could find a way to get her to camp. Steve tried to get Lindsay to camp earlier but everytime he was about to bring her to camp, Lindsay's uncle got in the way. Steve wasn't very smart and he just couldn't think of a way to get her to camp without the uncle noticing.

Lindsay had another monster attack when she was thirteen. Lindsay was walking home from school when suddenly, a harpy came at her. The mist was over the bird though and Lindsay thought it was just a deformed pigeon or something. Just then, the harpy lunged at her, talons sharp. She screamed and threw her back pack at it. Lindsay happened to have her science project in it and her backpack was really heavy, so it crushed the harpy. The harpy was screeched and flew away. Lindsay ran to her apartment only to be beaten by her uncle. Her uncle beat her very hard and she passed out. When she woke up, she convinced herself it was all a dream. And for the next two years, she believed herself. During that period of time, Lindsay was attacked by three more assorted monsters. Luckily, Steve was there to protect her and he always killed it before Lindsay noticed. But that one harpy attacked always haunted her in her dreams. Deep down, she knew the harpy attack was not a dream. still, her uncles constant beatings often made her forget. She almost convinced herself that even her dreams were fake. That is, until the hellhound attack.

On the day Lindsay turned fifteen, she was attacked by a hellhound. Lindsay had just escaped from one of her uncles beatings and she ran to the edge of the park. Bad idea. A big blackish dog thingy had come running at her (a hellhound) Lindsay screamed and she threw rocks and anything she could get her hands on. But still, it was closing in on her. The hellhound backed Lindsay into a corner. Just when she thought she was doomed, Steve, who was walking around the park, came and killed the hellhound with a quick swipe of his sword. Lindsay fainted from shock. Lindsay had a very interesting "dream" or vision while she was out. She was in some sort of salt water (Lindsay had no idea how she knew, she just did) and a uniquely beautiful woman was next to her. She said something that Lindsay couldn't quite make out. Something about her father and a delivery. The woman handed her half a dozen throwing knives. Now, Lindsay could clearly make out what the pretty dark-haired, mysterious, underwater-breathing woman was saying: "These are from your father. Use them well." Then, she swam away. When she woke up, she was sitting on a lawn chair over looking Camp-Half-Blood with six throwing knives in her lap. When Lindsay was unconscious, Steve knew it was the time to bring Lindsay to camp. Without thinking, he carried her all the way to Long Island and gave her to Alexander The Great. Then, Steve went to Lindsay's uncles's apartment and socked him in the nose. After that, he went home, had a bath, and ate Chinese takeout.
