Claiming:Camp/Jade Brooklyn

Name: Jade Brooklyn (13)

Gender: Female

God Parent: Eris (1st), Hecate (2nd), Apollo(3rd)

Mortal Parent: (For Eris and Hecate) Zach Brooklyn (For Apollo) Kay Brooklyn

Appearance: Jade had light brown hair that comes down to her shoulders. She has green eyes that seem to bore into your soul. She stands with confidence but not so much to be considered arrogant.

Personality: She’s nice to be with when you are on her good side but if you get on her bad side, watch out. She loves music and archery but she can be mischievous and sneaky. In the moonlight she turns predatory and causes discord with her pranks.

History: Zach (or Kay) Brooklyn was walking around a small town looking for the spot his girlfriend told him they would meet. When he finally found it he only saw a girl (or boy for Apollo) who looked about a good five years younger than his own age of 22.

Zach had decided that his girlfriend might be running late so he tried talking to the girl. The girl (who introduced herself as Erin (for Hecate) (Hannah, for Eris) (Jack, for Apollo)) held a conversation well but ended up asking the question why he was there, talking to her. He told her that he was supposed to be meeting his girlfriend but she wasn’t here and that the girl looked lonely so he decided to talk to her.

When his girlfriend didn’t show up Zach decided to go home and call his girlfriend to tell her it was over between them, as he started to leave him and the girl said goodbye. The next morning Zach woke up and got dressed for his first day of work for the year. He didn’t like going to work almost every day of the week but he liked his job and he knew he had to keep working so he could eventually get into a good college.

That day at the music store (where Zach worked) a woman about his age walked into the store. She looked unmistakably like the girl he had meant the night before, except older. Zach decided he would ask this woman if she had a younger sister.

When he asked her she said yes, she did have a younger sister named Hannah and that her name was Lana. When she asked Zach why he wanted to know he told the woman he had meet Hannah last night. Soon they started to talk about other things and came to the subject of music.

The reason for coming to that subject was because Zach asked her what she was doing in the music store. She answered that she loved playing the guitar but hers had broken beyond repair so she needed a new one. Zach focused on her words and her voice as she spoke.

Her words were sophisticated but not so much so he couldn’t understand her. Her voice and her eyes were what really made him attracted to her. Her voice paired with her eyes when she talked about music and gave off a feeling of excitement that in turn radiated off of her.

In the end after Zach got off from work they ended up going to his apartment. After that night they spent even more time with each other until a month later she told him that she was pregnant with his child. He told Lana that if their child was anything like her their child would be a beautiful girl who loved music as much as air.

Zach was thrilled and at the same time it was like it was a dream and not really happening. She told him that she got accepted into college in a state far away. They agreed that after she had the child Zach would take care of the child and she would go to college. Zach didn’t know if that was the real reason, but she seemed nervous and with college, not able to raise a child. Zach didn’t even know if he would see her again, but he knew he loved her and his unborn child. If he could only have one he was going to accept it, he had promised Lana.

Finally, his child was born. It was a beautiful little girl. Lana was happy and asked to hold the child. Zach and Lana finally agreed that their child’s name should be Jade (and that she would take the last name Brooklyn) because even though most babies are born with blue eyes she was born with green.

On Jade’s fifth birthday she got what she wanted. It wasn’t much: some information about her mother and a guitar. She had learned to play guitar after going into her father’s music store (Zach got through a four year college while watching Jade but decided he wanted to have his own music store) one day.

At age nine Jade was getting into trouble at school. She was singing during tests, tapping on her desk during reading time, dancing in the cafeteria, and pulling pranks on the other children. Whenever her father got to the principal’s office he would find Jade laughing about whatever she had gotten into trouble for.

After Jade got home from after school detention she would go to her room and sing while playing the guitar. Music and causing/being in trouble had been Jade’s passions since she started school. She had lots of different guitars she bought from her father’s store. (Zach claimed that she could have the guitars for free but she preferred paying him for the guitars).

When Jade got to 6th grade (age 12) Zach heard less and less about Jade being in trouble for things musical. All he mostly heard now was she was playing pranks on the other kids or wasn’t paying attention during class. The only thing he heard from Jade about music was how in her choir class she glued the teacher to his piano.

Her pranks increased and her music decreased after a bad incident she told no one about. Jade had a choir concert to go to. Her father was driving her but his car broke down in a bad neighborhood about three blocks away from where the concert was being held.

Jade had decided to run there while her father tried to start the car. While Jade was running a man tried to assault her. Thankfully some teens came and fought him off. There were two boys and a girl. The boys chased the man away while the girl (who called herself Mia) checked on Jade.

They helped Jade get to her concert but what happened had terrified her. It scared her to sing, dance, and play guitar, anything that had to do with music. So, she decided to focus on her pranks with the help of the three teens that helped her.

The teens supplied her with all kinds of supplies for her pranks. They also realized that she was traumatized by what had happened on the way to her concert. Mia way trying to help her get over the trauma and sing and play guitar again. Jade still wouldn’t sing or play the guitar but she liked Mia for trying.

Zach was starting to get worried. Jade loved music but now the only evidence of that was the fact that she took choir, hummed in her sleep, and still had guitars in her room. She was still as happy as she had mostly always been, except not about music. But she was clever with her pranks, he would give her that.

When Jade turned thirteen she got attacked by her principal of about nine years (her school was a large building with grade levels up to 8th grade). Her principal grew larger in height and size as he grew into a giant with blue skin and ice gray hair (Hyperborean Giant). It was strange and freakishly scary, so she made a run for it.

Then Jade had the most brilliant yet crazy idea. Jade ran to the creepiest neighborhood in the city hoping to find her friends. When she found them she had pulled ahead of the slow giant by a good three miles. She asked her friends for a flame thrower and some string. (The flame thrower was a part of her plan because to her the giant looked like it was frozen and/or could freeze other things).

She then headed to an alley a little ways away. She tied up the string to it would trip the giant and then trigger the flame thrower which would then hit the giant. She got done just in time because the giant was almost there. She ran ahead a little ways to where her friends were so she wouldn’t get crushed.

When she got there Mia looked terrified for her. When Jade asked what was wrong the girl grabbed Jade and kissed her, broke the kiss, and held Jade tight. She told Jade that she was a daughter of Hermes and that Jade was still unclaimed. Jade got advice from Mia telling her to find Camp Half-Blood. She ran and tried to do as she was told but her mind was on the kiss.

Jade had always liked Mia since they meet but especially after she tried to encourage Jade to sing and play guitar again. Jade liked that someone other than her father cared and loved her. But Jade was snapped out of those thoughts because she felt something in her pocket.

She felt the object get heavy and larger until it was about the size of a large stone. Jade stopped for a second to pull the object out of her pocket. It looked like a stone but it turned into a large bundle. Jade unrolled the bundle to find two items: A guitar pick with a heart on it and a pair of bow and arrows

Inside with the objects was a note. I opened the note to read it and saw it was written by two different people. The first side said, ''Jade, I love you. I really hope you like the guitar pick and that you will start playing again. Love, Mia. ''Jade chocked up at that but read on to the second side of the note. ''I didn’t know what kind of weapon you would like so I just got you a bow and some celestial bronze arrows. Celestial bronze can kill monsters and your quiver of arrows never runs out when in combat. I hope you don’t hate me, (insert God parents name here). P.S. I here you fell in love with a daughter of Hermes. ''

Jade finally came across Camp Half-Blood. She was relived and hoped she would see Mia again. But her hope was short lived when she heard Mia died at the hand of a child of Ares who had a bone to pick with Mia.

That night at the campfire Jade was depressed and stared at the flames. Suddenly everyone was looked above her head. She knew she had gotten claimed but was surprised when she felt a note in her pocket. Jade opened the note and as she read it she cried. ''Jade, I’m sorry about Mia but before she died she prayed to the gods to tell you she loved you but she didn’t want that to hold you back. She wants you to find love again. She wants you to be happy and sing and play guitar again. I’m sorry, (insert God parents name here). P.S. I took the liberty of claiming you and telling you since I am your parent. ''

Weapons: She has a bow that her god parent gave her on her way to cam to help fight off monsters.
