Claiming:Camp/Aella Janson

Name: Aella Janson

Mortal Parent Name: Murphy Janson-Williams

God Parent:  1. Palaemon 2.

Current Age: 16

Weapon: Celestial Bronze double-axe, gifted to her by her stepfather because he had no use for it as he was more of a sword bloke. (see History)

Appearance: Aella is tall with an athletic build from years of swimming with the school team and surfing. She has long legs perfect for running which she has taken up to keep for it in the past few years of her life. She has naturally tan skin from her mother but also has built up a solid tan from a childhood on the beach everyday. Her blonde hair is rarely cut and therefore extremely blonde and though her half-siblings (mortal parent's side) have blue eyes, she has brown eyes which suit her well.

Personality: Aella is quite a relaxed person but has a protective nature of people she loves. She is a bit quiet from having a large family and younger siblings, which made her more mature. When people become closers however, it becomes noticeable that she has a brutal sarcastic streak and is not afraid to be utterly honest, no matter how much it may hurt you. Despite her honesty towards others, Aella can be stubborn and refuses to ask for help no matter how much she may need it. She is always trying to find a way to prove herself to the people around her which can sometimes be a downfall as some people saw it as showing off back with her family. Not having experienced much hardship until she was sixteen, Aella often feels conflicted about how to act now her whole perspective on life has changed. She has accepted the fact that she will be at camp for a while now but also secretly has a resentment for the other demigods who seem so happy at camp because she is definitely a family person and misses home.

History:

Murphy Janson-Williams (Aella's mother), known as Murphy Janson at the time, was a bit of a wallflower in her youth. She was a natural beauty who grew up in Hawaii and travelled to America for a surfing competition when she was eighteen. After months of training and finally winning the competition, Murphy received the small amount of fame she wished for. She was celebrating one night with her close friends down at the beach when became overwhelmed with the party. Walking along the sand, she met Aella's father though she did not know so at the time. He began talking to her after hearing her name called out and the man told her how Murphy meant sea warrior and that it was a fitting name for such a beauty.

Murphy, having never received such attention, was drawn in to this mysterious man like all good girls are and the next morning; he was gone. After returning to Hawaii, she realized she was pregnant. It was the biggest mistake of Murphy's life but she had been a responsible person from a young age and decided to raise the child. On January the fourth, Aella Janson was born, fittingly named after Aella the Amazon warrior who had been killed by Herakles but the name also meant whirlwind; as Aella was truly a whirlwind in Murphy's life.

The first few years were easy, or as easy as they could be being a teen mother raising a wild daughter. That was the only way to describe Aella. Wild. Warrior. Absolutely insane sometimes, as her mother often recalled her crawling into the ocean before she could even walk or swim.

A few years after Aella's birth, Murphy Janson became Murphy Janson-Williams when she married Tony Williams, a scuba-diver and amateur documentary maker situated in Honolulu. Over the years, they had a pair of twins called Georgio and Fabian along with three other children; Robbie, Carly and Oceana. With such a large household and being the eldest, Aella became quite an introvert.

Her outlet was the ocean. She had always found comfort within the breaking waves and sandy dunes. Then, at eleven, strange things became happening. Aella noticed a strange judge at one of the surfing competitions have her eyes almost glow but it seemed impossible at the time. Frightened, Aella told Tony (whom she called Dad and considered her father in all but blood). An hour later, the mystery judge had suddenly disappeared and no one seemed to remember her except...Aella.

This continued for five years. Weird occurences, a feeling of fear walking alone, the sensation of someone watching her. She would always tell Tony and the next moment, the feeling was gone. The sensation had disappeared. The strange man with sunglasses was gone like he had never been there, the crazy rottweiler down the street was quietened. She never questioned it, too afraid. Brushed it off like it was nothing.

On her sixteenth birthday, the strange occurences made sense. They were having a small party on the beach of a friend's house in America (on vacation) with just the family. A local girl (or what Aella thought was a local girl) walked onto the beach and approached Aella asking for directions. Then, saying she needed a phone. Aella trekked into the house, the girl following behind to grab the phone for her. Then, it happened. The girl threw Aella to the other side of the room, her appearance changing. Strawberry blonde hair became fiery red, a thigh high leather boot became a bronze leg and her other leg became a donkeys leg. Vampiric fangs became prominent and Aella screamed as the girl-monster-whatever lunged towards her. Suddenly, instinct overtook her body along with adreniline. She swung her body to the side and the monster hit the wall. Aella moved to the back of the kitchen, grabbing a large knife and holding it in front of her. The monster approached, angered but Aella threw the knife...Only it didn't make a different.

Then, too many things happened at once. The monster lunged and pinned Aella to the fridge whilst the door burst open and her stepfather, Tony, flew in with a...sword? He stabbed the monster through the back and it dissolved into dust. And then, in typical Aella manner, she fainted.

When she awoke, her stepfather was sitting by her bedside. He explained everything in a hurry whilst packing her an overnight bag. Apparently, Tony Williams wasn't just Tony Williams, scuba diver. He was Tony Williams, son of Ares and ex-camper at Camp Half Blood. He explained about how Aella must be a demigod, that her father was a Greek God. He explained the weird occurences of monsters attempting to stalk and then attack her but thankfully, with her instinct warning her to tell him, he had managed to kill them before the problem arose. He explained it was a miracle she had never encountered one herself and that he couldn't risk his children's safety, her siblings safety, for someone that wasn't even his own child.

So he put her on a bus with directions to Camp Half Blood, an old double-axe that was a weapon he wasn't that skilled in and wouldn't miss along with overnight clothes and some demigod currency. Then, he left her on her own at the bus station. Just like that.

Aella arrived and well, here she is.
