Claiming:Camp/Astrid Faye

Name: Astrid Sara Faye

Gender: Female

God Parent: Melinoe, Lyssa, Nemesis

Mortal Parent: Mathew Faye

Appearance: Lili Maria Lassen

Personality:

Astrid is moody, as you may call her. Usually, because of her unfortunate past, she can be gloomy and melancholy, lurking in the shadows, never wanting to be seen by others. She is quite a lonely girl, with loneliness as her only friend.

Once you meet Astrid, she'll have mood swings, first sad, then mad, then, rarely, joyous. She will be awkward at first, but don't forget, she has never had a friend or a person to talk to since her dad.

If anyone brings up her past, she either walks away, steaming mad or hurts them. She hates it, like she hates the gods. Some are confused, saying, "Why isn't she in the BC, if she doesn't like the gods?" Their questions are never answered. The reason is because it's because of her dad. He made her swear she would go and stay safe there, since she loved him, she did it. As you can see, she will do anything for someone she loves, even go to a place and stay with people who like people she doesn't necessarily like at all.

History:

Parents' Meeting: Mathew Faye was a handsome bachelor, living in California with great wealth when he had heard his uncle, Gregory, had passed on to the next life. This greatly saddened Mathew, since he and his uncle had a very close relationship together. When he was a child, his father killed his mother, and his uncle took him, caring for him with all his love.

At the funeral, Mathew shared a few words about his bond with Uncle Greg, starting to cry at the end. He lingered in the graveyard for an hour after the ceremony, ignoring the rain that was pouring down, just wanting to be with his uncle. His dedication to his loved one attracted a lady by the name of Maya. Maya ran into the storm and told Mathew to come into the funeral house with her. He gave in because, one, he was starting to get really cold, two, this woman looked fascinating to him, her off-white and dark clothing, her bleach blonde hair and natural makeup style made her look like a ghost.

No one was in the house, leaving the two of them alone. While Mathew dried, Maya started up a conversation with him. They hit it off and found out that they had many things in common. Mathew then asked for her number, the start of a relationship. After many months of dating, they decided to "do it". The next week, Maya found out she was pregnant with child. Mathew rejoiced and threw a huge party at his estate. That morning, Maya was nowhere to be found. After putting up a worldwide search and not finding her, the officials said she simply "vanished". Mathew never gave up hope and remained single, in case Maya came back to him.

Astrid's Birth: One night, August 3, 1998, about five months after Maya vanished, Mathew was working at home and his doorbell rang. He opened it to find a black and white basket with a baby girl inside. A note was safely tucked into the cloth inside. It read, ''Mathew, I'm greatly sorry for leaving you. I had to leave for a reason I cannot name. Here is our daughter. Name her whatever, just love her and send her to a camp, Camp Half-Blood (the address is below). I love you. With Love, Maya. P.S. Please love someone else. I'm sorry, but we just can't be together.''

Early Life: Astrid went to private school every year. She was an outcast and she didn't fit into any group at school. No one liked her and every one thought she was a creep. Her classmates called her names and played unfair pranks on her. She hated going to school, and usually faked sick. She cut sometimes, and wanted to end it all. Olivia made it worse. Mathew, when Astrid was 12 married a woman by the name of Hannah, who had snobby daughter named Olivia. Olivia teased Astrid every day at home, yet acted like an angel in front of their parents.

Mathew got Astrid a dog the next year. It was a small beagle whom seemed to understand Astrid. Astrid learned to ignore Olivia's tauntings, and she finally felt happy.

First Monster Attack: When Astrid was thirteen, Christmas Eve to be exact, a knock on the door came. Mathew opened it and came in an empousa.The empousa immediately went for Astrid, but her father knocked over the table making an obstacle for the monster. Mathew, who was a special mortal who could see through the Mist, took her hand and lead her out, just as he set the place on fire. The empousa was killed, but Olivia and Hannah were still inside. Mathew had to save them, but before he went, he told Astrid to swear she would go to Camp Half-Blood. She swore and he went back into the burning house, and didn't come back out.

Getting to Camp: She left, and stayed in different motels along the way. She departed for Camp, with the address her mother left for her father after she was born. She stole and made demigod friends along the way, and she learned how to use a Machete.When she met demigods like her, she talked to them learning more about the gods, Camp, and Olympus, yet there would always be a monster attack killing her allies and leaving Astrid to escape. While traveling to camp, she stopped at the Lotus casino, for about a year and a half, before being rescued by a group of questing demigods. She escaped with their help, and departed back on her way. She finally made it to Half-Blood hill after two years, and currently lives there.

Weapons:Celestial Bronze Machete

Comments

 * How did the house get set on fire?
 * I don't think an untrained demigod could dodge an empousa, nor could someone outrun one

So her current age is 13?

It took her two years to get to camp, so she's fifteen.

Why would it take two years to get to camp? Where was she starting from that she was that far away? This isn't the dark ages, travel doesn't take that long any more, I mean you can fly across the world in a day depending on lay overs.

She stayed at Lotus casino for two and a half years, and the other half she came to camp in.

So how did she get the resources to get from Nevada to NYC and how did she know which direction to go?

She was helped by fellow demigods along the way, whom she stole with and they themselves knew the way. Also, she had the directions her mother gave her father, and she asked people along the way.

Exactly how much time passed between Melinoe's departure and Astrid being delivered to the father?

It was about ten months.

10 months is a bit to long for a goddess usually it is 5 months or less.

Usually it takes 9 months for a baby to be born, and I thought it was the same for goddesses.

Hello there,

If I'm understanding you correctly, Astrid was at the Lotus Casino for one and a half years, and then arrived at camp half a year later; therefore making her trip from her house to camp two years in total. Is this the case? If you could clarify, that would be great.

Yes, that is the case.

Please explain where she got the resources to survive for the two year trip, and it should be ready to go.

She stole and made demigod friends along the way, and she learned how to use a Machete.
