History
On Jane weekly trip to the YMCA, after working out she went to the lap pool to relax. Usually she was the only one there, but there was a young man swimming laps in the pool she watched him for awhile. Later when he got out of the pool, she commented on his swimming and asked if he was a pro or thinking about becoming a pro. He laughed, "I wish, but I've always just done it for fun." He turned and went to the lockers, and when he came back, she asked him to dinner, if he wanted she'd drive. He was taken aback, but then smiled, and said ok. Jane treated him to the best restaurant in town, they talked and dinned and he had a little too much to drink. She took him to his house; she stayed in his car overnight to make sure he was ok. In the morning she woke up to a rapping on the car window, opening her eyes she saw it was him and unlocked the car, he waved and jumped in the car. She was caught off guard but then he said, "Well what are you waiting for? Let's go to your house!" When she questioned him, he put his finger on her lips, motioning her to be quiet. When they arrived at her house, he claimed that he could no longer control himself and flung himself on to her, tearing off her clothes.

Over the next couple of months, they became inseparable; he taught her how to swim for exercise to get rid of the little "love handles" on her waist. They seemed like the perfect couple to any outsider who saw them, always laughing and kissing each other. When she found she was pregnant, he seemed somewhat sad. However when she proposed, he suddenly broke down crying, telling him he was Poseidon a Greek god, and that after the baby was born he would have to leave both her and the child. As he sat crying, she put her arm around him but couldn't understand why he didn't tell her earlier. In the last few months, of her pregnancy, she withdrew from him almost completely, she felt that he had lied to her and had used her. When the baby came he was completely cold toward him and had retreated into religious studies. She took the child named; Izquixochitl (Itzi) retreated into the wilderness making many writings about the retreat into nature and a religious abstention of water.

Izquixochitl grew up in her mother’s modern hippy-cult colony: WATER Wonderful Abstinence from the Earthly Realms, which made no sense, but had no trouble attracting followers. After her 12th birthday the colony located near water, Izquixochitl felt a strong pull to the water, she tried to ignore it but it kept pulling her. She would eventually dream of what it would feel like to be in water. One day while walking along the lake she could stand it no more, she jumped in, feeling the water on her skin she felt like it was heaven and almost as if in a minute, it was gone, her mother found her and had dragging her to the shore. She then dragged her by her hair all the way to the colony square where rule breakers were taken and whipped; because she had committed the highest crime she received 10 lashes with a cat-o-nine-tails. After receiving medical help in the "rehab" center, she was summoned and thrown at her mother’s feet and disowned. Then she took Itzi back to her chambers and told her who she really was and that her father Poseidon, god of the water, had broken her heart, hence her aversion to water and the reason the cult was founded. She gave Itzi the cat-o-nine-tails which she had been whipped with, claiming that it was tangled in her hair when she pulled Itzi out of the water, saying it was probably a gift from her father and since it was now defiled Itzi would have it, and it would bring her misfortune (cult beliefs). She then took her back to the middle of the square and left. As part of tradition no one could speak to someone who had left the cult, so she could tell no one the truth.

After being thrown out she used the money that she got from pickpocketing and begging, to go to Las Vegas. Once there she broke into a penthouse to take a shower, but she didn't know the residents had a daughter who woke up and scared Itzi. Angelique let her stay hiding Itzi from her parents. They started dating, until Itzli had to leave, Angelique begged to come, but Itzli was afraid for her and asked her to stay there, and promised to call or visit often.

She traveled from the colony to L.A. receiving help from kind people and avoided saytrs, not wanting to go to camp; she began to disguise herself, few people ever seeing her as she really was. Through her travels she learned more about herself and taught herself how to fight, she never strayed too far away from water, as it was her life-blood. When she reached the Pacific Ocean, hidden in the sand next to her was a double Scythe, with her father’s name carved on the hilt, assuming it was for her she took it. When Itzli return to Vegas (around her 13th birthday), she thought it was safe enough to take Angelique with her. So they ran away to LA. But on the way there they were attacked by a harpy, disguised as a mugger. When Angelique tried to protect Itzli, the harpy threw her against the wall, killing her instantly, because she Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a genetic disease that cause bones to be extremely delicate and break easily. Itzli severed its wing and was almost beaten. Against her better judgment, she came to Camp Half-Blood, by letting a saytr find her.

They can also make small non-combative objects out of water. Children of Poseidon can survive falling from high altitudes as long as they land in water, they can also go as deep into the ocean as they desire without any effects from the water pressure.
 * Offensive
 * Defensive

Children of Poseidon have a slightly higher resistance to burns.

Children of Poseidon have the ability to create a dome shaped torrent of water, roughly two to three times the size of the user, which can be used to block attacks for a very short time. Children of Poseidon can innately breathe underwater. They have telepathic connections to equine animals (horses, zebras, giraffes, pegasi, hippocampi, etc.), and while submerged in water they can communicate with other children of Poseidon telepathically. They, and everything they touch, stay or become dry in water, unless they want to become wet. They can make air bubbles form under water. Children of Poseidon have the ability to create minor earthquakes, only large enough to knock anyone in the immediate vicinity of the user off their feat, and only for a few seconds.
