Claiming:Camp/Claire Blackwood

Name: Claire Blackwood

Gender: Female

God Parent: Apollo, Zeus, Ares

Mortal Parent: Elaina Blackwood

Appearance: Claire is very athletic looking with a tan from always being outside, blonde hair, and blue/gray eyes. She also is built like a long-distance runner.

Personality: Claire is usually in a good mood unless she is beaten by another camper in something (she is very competitive). She trains hard and always tries her best in everything she does.

History: Claire's mother met her father shortly after she was out of college at the University of Oregon. They soon fell in love and had Claire not long after that. Her father then told her mother of his actual identity and explained to Elaina of baby Claire's situation. He then departed leaving Elaina to care for Claire on her own. Elaina then used her degree to secure a job as a nurse in a nearby hospital.

Claire was diagnosed with Dyslexia and ADHD but she loved school even though she was kicked out of most that she attended (mostly towards her later years). Her first encounter with a monster came in 3rd grade when she was seven. On her way home from school one day she saw a man dressed in a black trench coat and a bald head walking down the side walk towards her as she neared her house. As Claire entered her driveway she turned around to find the man stopped right at her mailbox. She couldn't believe it when she tried to look at his eyes, at one time she saw two deep brown eyes and at another she saw one large brown eye sitting in the middle of his forehead staring at her. She was able to get away somehow by running inside, she never saw the man again.

Claire's second monster encounter was towards the end of 7th grade when she was twelve. She was attacked at her school library when one of the librarians suddenly turned into a scaly green (and might I say quite unflattering) Scythian Dracaenae. She got away when her best friend Finn (who happened to be a very aggresive satyr) killed the monster. The two then ditched the rest of 7th period and ran to Claire's moms house to gather Claire's stuff and to tell her mom what had happened. Elaina then expalined how Claire was a demigod and had to go to Camp Half Blood in Long Island, New York. Her mother then gave Claire her shield and Claire and Finn then headed to Camp.

Claire and Finn then caught a bus to Minneapolis, Minnesota and then caught another one to Harrisburg, Pennysilvania. As they were trying to hail a taxi to as close to camp as they could they were almost killed by a killer flock of pigeons. They soon lost the pigeons after entering the taxi headed to the camp. As they reached the border of Camp Half Blood a hellhound attacked the pair right by Thalia's tree, they wre saved when a group of campers saw the two and killed the hellhound.

Weapons: Her weapons include a camp issued sword, bow and arrows, and knife and a shield that her mother gave to her right before camp, its first form is a blue and silver friendship bracelet that when brushed along its arrow design transforms into the shield.
