Archived:Genevieve Zanare

Personality
Gen is very isolated, introverted, and shy. But, if you get her to open up, you'll find that she is a very creative and tenderhearted.

History
Janelle Zanare met a guy named Peter Johnson (Who was really the god Poseidon) while she was on her yearly vacation with her parents to their lakeside cabin. It was the last time she'd be able to visit. On the way home, her plane crashed and her parents died. But Poseidon had taken a favor to her and saved her life by cushioning her landing in a pond and pulling her out of a coma. Janelle fell in love with Poseidon, and together they returned to the cabin. Soon, she became pregnant, and it seemed everything would be perfect.

Two months before Genevieve was born, Janelle suspected something strange about Poseidon, but never got to talk to him about it. He left, and left her a note that he knew she suspected something and that she'd be safer if he went away, and that Genevieve would have to go to a special camp. She was heartbroken, but understood good things couldn't last forever. She sold the cabin and used the money she'd planned to use to go to college to get an apartment in a small town in New Hampshire, where she gave birth to Genevieve and got a job as a librarian. Genevieve proved to be a hard child to raise, she was soon diagnosed with Dyslexia, ADHD, and eventually, a mild form of Autism. Not to mention the fact that weird people seemed to always stalk her. Once, when Genevieve was four, an old lady actually came to the door and asked for a cup of tea, eyeing Genevieve over her shoulder. She slammed the door in the ladies face and moved to a different apartment. She got a note from Poseidon, who explained that these weird people were monsters, and that they'd stop at nothing to try to kill Genevieve. He told her to keep an eye on her when she approached the end of elementary school. He also left an address to some special camp to take Genevieve to when the time came.

Genevieve got kicked out of school every year, and all the people seemed to detest her. The autism didn't help. She ended up retreating into her own imagination, becoming more introverted, and making up fantasy stories and fantasizing about Native American stories her mother had told her.(They're descended from a Native American tribe)Once, she could have sworn that one of her teachers had only one eye (Poseidon sent it to check on her), and she felt creepy presences a lot, but she always assumed it was her vivid mind.

One day, in fourth grade, Genevieve was particularly depressed. Everyone had ignored her. And she had reason to suspect that the teachers were going to hold her back. Although she never talked much anymore, she wished someone would at least acknowledge she was there. Unfortunately, as she was trying to recover, a dracnae burst into the bathroom where she was hiding. Genevieve was so startled and scared that she accidentally made a pipe explode. She had little control over her powers once they got started, so the whole first floor was ankle deep in water, by the time the enormous wave that washed away the dracnae had passed by. She tried to explain about the crazy lady that tried to kill her and that the pipe just happened to explode, but no one believed her. In the end, she thought she'd been hallucinating.

At her next school, Genevieve had some hope. Mr. Garrowsworth, the Greek Mythology teacher, had been very nice to her. Little did she know, he'd talked to Janelle about his 100 percent certainty that she was a half blood, and that he was a satyr. Janelle was shocked, but accepted this piece of information. Mr. Garrowsworth suggested that he take Genevieve to camp, but Janelle, being stubborn and wanting to hold onto her girl for as long as she could, refused.

Genevieve had another monster attack around two months later, this time from a harpy. She'd just been walking down a hallway when the harpy had suddenly jumped out from behind a trashcan and lounged at her. Mr. Garrowsworth heard the commotion while he was grading papers (More like eating them) and stepped in front of her at the last moment. The harpy nearly ripped him to shreds, but he was able to get it off and kill it with the sword he had brought in for one of his lessons (Before you ask, yes, it was celestrial bronze) Mr Garrowsworth was in a pitiful state after the attack, but he was able to get Genevieve home before anything unusual happened.

Janelle was scared when she showed up in the apartment with a wounded Mr. Garrowsworth, especially when Genevieve asked Janelle why these monsters kept attacking her. There was nothing she could do when Mr. Garrowsworth explained everything, but, even when he suggested taking her to camp, Janelle refused. Instead of listening to Mr. Garrowsworth's advice, she took the matters into her own hands and started homeschooling Genevieve. This turned out badly, as a hellhound nearly got into the apartment on Genevieve's 11th birthday. This was also the first time Genevieve ever had been contacted by her father.

He'd given her a watch, with a trident as one of the hands. She didn't see why this would be useful, it didn't have any numbers. He'd also sent her a letter, telling her that she had to find a way to camp, and to tell her mother that she needed to get there, or she could be put in graver danger than she already was. When she was finished reading the note, she heard her mother scream, and caught a glimpse of Mr. Garrowsworth, dead, before her mother closed the door. She and her mother had an immense argument that night, and finally, her mother agreed to take her to camp, but only after she turned twelve. She didn't want to leave Genevieve so soon.

He didn't reveal himself until a Manticore broke into their apartment a few days before she was scheduled to go to camp. It wasn't easy, but together, Genevieve and the Satyr were able to defeat the Manticore. Genevieve found that the watch her father had given her was a trident, and, while the satyr (Who had introduced himself as "John--Move!") was distracting it and attempting to avoid his deadly thorns, threw the trident when it wasn't looking. But in the chaos, Genevieve's mother died, leaving her heartbroken. With no where else to go, she let John the satyr take her to camp half blood. It wasn't easy getting her out of a big city like concord, but he eventually got them both onto a plane. They were able to evade most of the monster attacks until they approached the gate to camp. John had told her to run through the gate just before another hell hound jumped onto his chest, killing him instantly. Not wanting to disobey his last orders, she ran, calling herself a coward. So much for it being her birthday.
