History:My father works for Sunset magazine as a landscaper and photographer. He had an assignment to go San Francisco and photograph someone's beautiful 'space saver' garden. Once he got to the house and rang the doorbell he was greeted by a lovely woman with brown hair and chlorophyll green eyes wearing a dirty apron, a sunhat, and holding a shovel. Once he was inside the air filled with the fumes of different flowers as she let him outside the garden was so stunning so many different types of flowers in one spot and some that he could only dream about. After taking the pictures he asked for her name, it was Violet Pine. Then He asked for her number "Why do you need my number?" she asked "because um... we need to contact you if you win for our best garden." she ran inside and came out with her number scribbled on a fluorescent pink sticky note and a restaurant on the back "Pick me up at eight ok?"

They went out for a while after that. And a month before the summer solstice they did it. Two days before the autumn solstice came I was born. And named Rose after the first flowers that she planted and the first flowers he gave her. On the solstice a shadow appeared behind her and ghostly hand grasped for her There Violet told my father who she really was and that she has to leave for fall and winter but she will come back for spring and Summer But he had to promise to send me to Camp Half-Blood when I was old enough. He reached out for her hand and grabbed it and promised just before she disappeared into the darkness. 

My father James fell into a depression and to raise me I had to rely on my Grandmother. My father counted the days until the Spring Solstice when my mother would come back and once the solstice came he ran around the town grabbing all the fresh flowers he could and placing them all around the house. He did this until I was fourteen (and had too many batty teachers to count) and we moved out of Violet's old house and into a new one in San Juan Batista with a huge garden that we planted later. "You have such a green thumb." he said as we planted each flower my grandmother helping. Two weeks before my birthday my grandmother died surrounded by roses that I gave her. I saw Thanatos come and take her soul away. She was waving goodbye to my father and I and mouthing ''I'll talk to you soon. ''On my birthday he gave me a bracelet with roses and violets, a Rose hair pin and my mother's sunhat. And he said that next summer I was going to summer camp. I've had too many summer camps and one of the counselors always tried to barricade me in my cabin or try to loose me in the forest. But I always found my way out. 

One Week later I had my first attack. I was sitting in our garden minding my own business as I sketched flowers wearing my mother's sunhat and my bracelet. A cat climbed over the fence and started to growl. I looked over at the golden alley cat and he hissed "What do you want tom cat?" he flicked his tail around and it started hissing, just the tail and it grew into a long snake. The cat started to shake and it started to grow in a mane and grew in size until it almost reached the middle of the second level of the house. And then just as it couldn't have gotten any weirder a goat head busted out of its back but instead of bleating it roared like a lion. I put the hat down on the table and it started to charge at me. I pulled my hairpin for some reason, not only pulling my hair into my face but reveling a bronze long sword with a flower engraved hilt. My bracelet was transformed into a rose-shaped shield. Once the Chimera (I guess that's what it was called) came to me I slashed at its maw and it scratched my leg letting it release blood. My father came outside and grabbed the chainsaw from the shed as I tried to hold off the Chimera he ran in front of me and started to rev its motor. He urged me to get in the car as he threw the chainsaw at its mouth. And we both ran toward the car after I grabbed my hat and we went off to the airport. The monster trailing behind. I told him to open the sunroof and he did so. I stood in it grabbing my hat. I threw it -odd job style-and large goat head thorns plaited with bronze came from the side and hit the monster right in the forehead making it dissipate into dust. My hat flew back like a boomerang and I sat down in the chair and nodded off. Before I knew it we were on the fastest plane to New York. 

Weapons: Sword, Shield.
