Claiming:Camp/Violet Pearce

Name: Violet R. Pearce

Gender: Female

God Parent: Apate, Tyche, Zephyrus

Mortal Parent: William Pearce

Appearance: Brown, short hair, with one piece of hair that constantly falls into her face. She has bright, hazel eyes, that almost always have a hint of mischief shining in them. Her skin is a bit pale, with dimples and some freckles on her cheeks. Her legs are long, but she's only 5'6", so not THAT long. She's rather thin, and almost always has a slight smirk on her face.

Personality: Violet is very cunning, and doesn't suffer fools. She enjoys pulling pranks on people--even though she's great at the lying part, she's not so great at the actual set-up. She has a quick wit, and a sarcastic sense of humor. Some would say she's a sociopath, but she prefers the term 'unique'. Even though she seems like she doesn't care about people, she actually cares deeply about people close to her.

History: Once upon a time, in a not-so-faraway land(a.k.a. Detroit, Michigan)there was a man. This man's name was William, and he was in love. The woman he was in love with seemed perfect, almost too perfect. He assumed that she loved him too--after all, she had told him multiple times. One day, after they had been together for about 3 months, she told him she was having a baby.

Violet grew up with her father. Her mother had left at a very early age--she didn't even remember her. Consequently, she didn't really care about who her mother was. She was great at lying to people, although she was never sure why. She didn't really care about this, either. It made her life easier, so she wasn't going to look the gift horse in the mouth. She was happy.

In middle school, Violet was bullied. This one kid would shove her against the lockers, and beat her up. She almost always came home with bruises, but she lied to her father and said that she was clumsy and tripped a lot. One day, it was getting worse. She was running from her bully, and wished more than anything that he would just turn around and go away. She turned to see if she needed to run faster, and saw the bully running in the other direction. She wondered what made him do this, and she stopped. She was getting tired, for whatever reason--she hadn't been running for very long. Before long, the bully stopped and turned back around, realizing what had happened. Violet still hadn't realized, however. She tried focusing on making him go away again, and felt energy drain out of her as the bully yet again turned around and ran. She didn't question these powers, and ran to tell a teacher. (She, of course, lied about it being her that made him turn around.)

One day, Violet was walking home from school when she heard a snarling noise from a nearby bush. Assuming it was one of the neighbor's dogs, she kept walking. But soon, she heard the noise again, and a huge black beast leaped into the path in front of her. Violet froze in shock, seeing this dog-like creature in front of her. It let out a snarl, and Violet realized she should probably run. She turned and ran across the street, and heard the beast following her. She tried her trick with making it turn around, and looked behind her. The beast had turned around, and was running the other way. She used this bought time to run home, and lock the door behind her.

One year, when Violet was 14, her father told her he was sending her to a special year-round camp. He explained to her why he was doing it, that it was to protect her. He also explained her powers, and told her the story about him and her mother. She didn't want to go--she loved her father dearly, and didn't want to leave. But her father would hear none of it. So, they packed her bags, and he took her to the camp. She saw the archway that said 'Camp Half-Blood', and felt a sense of being at home.

Weapons: Violet prefers using a longsword, made of celestial bronze. She affectionately calls this sword 'Anklebiter', because that's where she usually aims first. On occasions, however, she's been known to use a simple celestial bronze dagger instead.
