Claiming:Camp/Nerissa Tudor

Name: Nerissa Species: Water nymph Age: Immortal History: Nerissa Tudor was once a regular girl, a demigod child of Palaemon. She grew up with her single mother, who was a professional surfer. She loved swimming, and aspired to become a great surfer as well. Her mother didn't know about her daughter's divine heritage, she just assumed Palaemon was a mortal man who came and left without notice. Still, she didn't mind. Nerissa grew up in Hawaii and was happy, so her mother was as well. As Nerissa grew older, she began to notice that there was something different about her, but besides the dyslexia and ADHD, she didn't know what it could be. For one reason or another, no monsters attacked her. Then one day everything changed. Nerissa was about fifteen, and she had gone out to surf. Slowly, she kept wading out further towards the sea, and a freak wave emerged out of nowhere. Nerissa tried to escape, but she did not make it. She had not yet learned of her powers, and so did not know to use them to try and make it out. She drowned, and her father took pity on her and turned her into a nymph. She then learned about her heritage as a demigod, and made her way to camp. She misses her mother, who now mourns her loss and did not learn of her daughter's true fate.
