Claiming:Camp/Haze Ryong

Name: Haze Ryong

God Parents: Zeus (First Choice) or Poseidon...

Personality: Haze's personality is a complex paradigm. With the first look, Haze seems to be another cute Asian girl; however, once asked of her values and opinions, she is more than just a ball of cuteness and sunshine. Her attitude is directly related to her dreams, which she gravely yearns to accomplish; yet there are times she feels so hopeless that she finds somewhere to escape, may it be her depressing thoughts or online. Due to her insecurity, this daughter of Zeus then seeks for power and adapts the belief of being slightly Machiavellian to please the eyes of others, thinking this would make her "strong." Zeus' little leader loves learning, debating, writing, and charming people with her kind facade.

History: Moon Hae Ra was a rich daughter of Hecate who married Ryong Tae Gun, a striving businessman. Even after a year of marriage, they were unfortunately not blessed with children, thus Hae Ra constantly prayed to the deities for a child. Fortunately, the gods have heard her prayers, especially Zeus, who had fancied her since her camp days. With the help of Apate, Hae Ra slept with her "husband," who was actually Zeus, in a beach resort; in the light of things, Hae Ra was finally pregnant with a child.

Nine months later, a baby girl was born. While curling in a ball, the baby girl’s pointed nose and round face were evident. There was even a birthmark that appeared like a lightning strike behind her neck. Her parents then named her Haze due to her hazel eyes; however, her Asian name, ironically, stores the special tribute to the sea. Half of her family was glad of her birth, yet the other half disliked her for her gender.

The daughter of Zeus grew up in an unhappy home. Although it was better than most, she would often hear painful comments from her relatives, friends, and her parents; yet this did not hinder her from continuing to dream for a better. At a young age, Haze wanted to try so many things: dance, music, debate, and math. When she was bullied in school, it made her a bully of her own for the rest of her elementary years. Due to wanting praise and appreciation from her parents, Haze often works hard beneath a smile to hone her skills to the sharpest they can be; however, most plans just don't work out, which depresses her.

One night, when Haze was a mere age of eight, Zeus had spoken with Hae Ra about Haze’s identity in a dream. Zeus handed her twin hooked swords in form of two diamond earrings and warned Hae Ra of the life Haze had to live as well, especially greater due to the fact she is a daughter of the Big Three. Devastated by the fact this was a child of another man, Hae Ra decided to keep this information away from Tae Gun and Haze for the next years of her life.

After a little event, monsters were frequent events to Haze. At the age of 10, Haze had her first monster attack. Being an early bird, Haze regularly went to school on early mornings. As she was walking down the hall, she saw a black dog and started to pet it; however, the dog suddenly shifted into a large hellhound. This took Haze aback and when she waved her hand, a thunderbolt flew right into its mouth. Haze then found glistening bronze swords next to her. Since it was a time of life or death, Haze picked up the swords and swung them at the hellhound, disintegrating it. Although she was not athletic as most children, she tried her best to stay fit in case of another disaster. Every year, she would experience at least two monster attacks, ranging from harpies to Scythian dracanaes, which didn’t help when Haze was obsessed with her computer.

Due to her constant want for escape, Haze began to be exposed to various websites online, where she met the set of friends she would never forget. One of them was a Korean boy by the name of "Park Hyoon." Starting at the age of 12, the daughter of Zeus would come home, lock her room, and always exchange messages about fears, worries, and expectations. After a series of chats, Haze secretly became attached Park Hyoon but knew her feelings for him could never be. Little did she know that it was one of the idols her friends admired most behind that screen, who used a friend's picture and name. Left unaware, Haze still talks to Park Hyoon every night and day.

Thanks to a special teacher in her high school years, Haze found love for the English language. She started debating, writing, and competing even more. Her teacher would encourage her with opportunities for the whole year. It was during one of her debate matches that the daughter of Zeus met Kiana Kwang, a daughter of Apollo. After knowing they were from the same school, Kiana started to talk to Haze. Unfortunately, a monster had disrupted their little conversation in the bathroom. Before the lamai could attack, it was zapped by a bolt of lightning and ray of light. The two looked at each other as Kiana allowed Haze to give the final blow with her CB swords. Kiana then offered Haze a home in camp as a daughter of Zeus. Once the offer was given to her, Haze immediately accepted. She wanted to be freed of her worries at least for a few months.

Haze took Kiana home to meet her parents. Her mother agreed to Haze to camp. Once she was transferred to online schooling, Haze packed her things and flew straight to New York. The thirteen hour flight was worth it when she was escorted to Camp Half Blood by Kiana. Luckily, the two did not encounter any monstrosity of any sort.
