Name: Isla Clare Caldwell

Gender: Female

Age: 15

God Parent: Apate, Cybele, Nyx

Mortal Parent: Charles Caldwell

Appearance: Model - Katelyn Tarver

Personality: At first glance, Isla would seen very business-like, cordial, composed, and to some people, the typical prissy rich girl. To some, she may seem ideally charming and polite. However, this is just Isla's first impression with almost everyone, and is actually quite vivid once you get to know her. Her personality consists of a very colourful, bubbly, and loving person who is always trying to learn new things. Despite this, she get can quite clingy to people and irrational when she doesn't get her way. Isla can be the romantic type of girlfriend, but also a very jealous one. She can get competitive for attention because of the very little amount she got when she was growing up. Praise is important to her as well.

Isla is well-rounded in fighting. Aside from Camp combat training, she was also taught a little something from her father personally and from his colleagues. She likes to fight, as much as she will deny it. She also enjoys quite girly things such as tea parties, shopping, and being pampered.

History: The Caldwells were a highly influential English family. Their family line was great, and everyone that possessed the name Caldwell was expected to do great things. Their name gained prestige through the family's strong association with the British Parliament. Isla's ancestors held great power with their high ranks in the House of Lords. The women married into the Caldwell family were always quite wealthy, which built up on the Caldwells' general worth. However, Isla's great-great-grandmother had divorced and took her fifteen year old son to America to start a new life, but kept the Caldwell name. By seventeen, Isla's great-grandfather had joined the American Army and once again established the typical Caldwell association with the government. He married a young woman and later became a Lieutenant General. Eventually, the American Caldwells became just as famous as the British Caldwells and the two families reconciled from the branching off of Isla's great-great-grandmother. Reconciling made the family just as more prosperous and their wealth grew even more.

This prestigious military lineage continued for the generations before it lead up to Isla's father's time. Charles, before he met Isla's mother, was just twenty-two and already a high-ranking soldier for his age. He met Apate at a wedding of one of his friends, and was charmed by her beauty and her mysterious aura. She was under the name of Amelia Evans. The two sparked conversation and started to go out on dates. One night, drunkenly stumbling into her father's apartment, Isla was conceived. The following morning, Apate left, and this more or less devastated Charles. Despite this, as militaristic as Charles is, moved on pretty quickly and refused to let this affect his job. He never thought that a few months later, a baby would be showing up on his doorstep. Panicking, Charles called in his half-sister, Violet. There was a note attached to the unnamed baby explaining everything about "Amelia" and the goddess she truly was. There was also some information about their unnamed baby, and that she possessed special powers as a half god. This was beyond overwhelming for Charles and one of the only moments where he lost his cool. Violet was revealed to be the child of their father and the Greek goddess, Aphrodite, and was more than happy to help her brother raise the child. The baby was named Isla Clare.

Isla grew up in a very militaristic life thanks to her father's growing and her family's already well established great reputation with the military. She grew up rich, in a mansion with numerous staff and going to the most prestigious schools, but with very little love. She saw her father very little, and treated him more like another adult than her father. She grew up learning to always be polite, respectful, and show very little feelings. With her aunt's guidance, she also grew up to be very "charming" as to appeal to her father's colleagues. Isla was basically imprisoned in her house, never getting to leave it and her father was very overprotective of her. Despite this, her father barely acknowledged her. Because of this, Isla was always struggling to be the best to win over her father's attention. Any sliver of praise from him was enough to make her year. The overprotective-ness over the Colonel Caldwell's ten-year-old daughter soon took its toll, and deep inside Isla's hunger for adventure, travel, and to see the world outside of her school and home grew insatiable. She so desperately wanted to see the world but knew she would never get her way with her father. To make do, she read rigorously about history, culture, and nations to expand her knowledge about the world. However, this could never quench her thirst for travel.

Her thirteenth birthday arrived and Charles finally agreed to let her travel to their vacation house in the forests of California with Violet. Isla was overjoyed. Violet, knowing that this was basically the perfect location for Isla's first monster attack to grace her as they arrived at the cabin, was suddenly grateful that she brought along her weapons from Camp. She originally planned to use them for recreational use--to oil up her rusty skills--but she guessed she would soon be using them to protect her niece. Sure enough, as Isla was in the forest looking for birds from her nature guide, a hellhound stalked her. Violet was also stalking her, and had killed the beast using her sword, scaring the hell out of Isla. Violet, rehearsing this several times in her mind before, swiftly brought Isla inside the cabin for much explaining to be done.

There was also much explaining to be done to Charles, and this marks the second time he's lost his cool since Isla's birth. Violet also explained Camp, where Isla could be trained and be kept safe. This interested both Charles and Isla--Charles being as militaristic as he is and intrigued by the key words "training and kept safe", and Isla being that she gets a chance to be out of her usual domain. Charles agreed to send Isla there for the summer, which made everyone very happy.

Charles was very happy when Isla came back, battle experienced and prepared to manage herself on her own against monster attacks. Isla was beyond pleased when her father gave her much praise and attention for this. Every year, Isla would be able to deal with minor monster attacks and boosted her training to get more of that attention from her father. However, Isla soon grew wary of having to come back every summer, as she wanted to stay at Camp for as long as possible. When her fifteenth birthday hit, she convinced Violet into helping her convince her father into letting her stay at Camp permanently. Charles balanced the pros and cons, pros being that Isla would have more combat training and would be much safer off in Camp. As he decided there were a minimum of cons, he approved of this, his only condition that she would visit for holidays. Isla complied, overjoyed.

Charles sent Isla and Violet to drive to Camp. The drive to Camp was uneventful, and luckily no monster attacks had taken place.
