Claiming:Camp/Zachariah McLane

Name: Zachariah McLane

Gender: Female

Age: 16

Mortal Parent: Gregory and Marissa McLane

Appearance: :  Zachariah is a brunette with bluish grey eyes. Her face shows she's a silent and kind girl, standing at the height of 5'6.



Personality: She is at first a shy and quiet girl. She does well in school, but she mostly dislike by her schoolmates for some stupid reasons. She doesn't fight, but when real anger comes, she's fire burning a tree. Zachariah is also a kind and patient girl, and is very loyal to her friends and family.



History: Zachariah's parents, Gregory and Marissa, both loved history and mythology. They met because of the subject. They were both teachers in different schools but always meet in a particular Greek mythology museum. From talking about the stories into falling in love, they got married soon.

Marissa soon gae birth to their firstborn, a boy, and named him Luke. After two years, then came Zachariah. She and her brother got along well, and like their parents, they, too, learned to love legends and mythologies. Their grandmother, Melanie Agatha - Marissa's mother - told them the stories about monsters, gods, heroes and their adventures. Zachariah has Artemis as her favourite, while Luke chose Poseidon, for he loved swimming and water. Just water. Their grandma believed they were real, so both of them pretended they were real. But Zachariah made it more than pretend, she wanted to fing evidence that they were real. And she succeeded in that.

It was just when she was 16, and was doing her Science assignments in a garden in their school.There wasn't anyone around,  and it was quiet. Then she heard a howl of a wolf piercing the silence. Surprised why there was something like that in their school, which wasn't even near a forest. She tucked er things in her bag and ran towards towards the sound.

Peeking around a corner, she saw a gray wolf lying on the ground, a silver arrow protuding from its neck. Curious, she neared the lifeless animal. What caught her eye was the arrow, shining very silver. She pulled it and examined the weapon. Near the notch, a word in different languange was etched:  ''Αρτέμη. ''<span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Artemis. <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Sensing it was familiar with a weapon in a book she loved to read, she heard a growl from behind her. She turned, and saw a silver wolf snarling at her. Behind it was a black haired girl in a snowy silver parka and a bow in her hand and a quiver of silver arrows slung across her back. The girl smiled and took the arrow from Zachariah. Before she was about to walk away, she called her. "Are you a Hunter of Artemis?" <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Zachariah knew it was impossible, and the girl would think she was crazy, but she only said, "If you want to be one, call her name, and we'll be there." And she disappeared suddenly. <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Zachariah thought she was dreaming, then thought about the girl. For the first time ever, she was evry sure that the old stories  were real. <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">She practiced using a bow and arrow and how to handle a sword for a certain reasons. Months later, she became an excellent in both weapons with the help of her brother and grandma, who believed her, and of course with the support of her parents (althought they didn't know why Zachariah trained). But after another two months, her parents and brother died in a car accident going home from Luke's graduation. Her grandmother Melanie came next because of depression and old age. <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">With all her family gone, she decided she could not live a life like it. Then, remembering the girl with the silvery wolf months ago, she shouted at the sky as it poured, "Artemis! I know you're there! Please, take me with you." <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10.5pt;line-height:16.5pt;">Nothing happened, and she lost all hope. Just then, the girl she saw a ppeared, together with another younger girl whose eyes said she was the leader, and three more girls in silver parkas.

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">The younger girl stepped forward."I've heard you, and I can see you're a very determined mortal." She talked more until she introduced herself. That she was Artemis. Zachariah couldn't believetell how happy she was that the girl is really the Artemis, and immediately believed her. She took then the pledge, finally deciding to be a Huntress. " <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I pledge myself to the Goddess Artemis. I turn my back on the company of men, accept eternal maidenhood, and join the Hunt."

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;">

<p style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt;line-height:16.5pt;"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;border:1ptnonewindowtext;padding:0in;">Zachariah felt strength and courage once more to face the real situation. Looking at the black haired girl congratulating her, Zachariah said, "I've never thought these things could actually exist. But now I'm one of you, a Hunter, in a group of warriors a lot of people think were just stories - that gave me more life to live on. <span lang="EN-CA" style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;">
