History:

Mia and Daniel's father met when Mia was on a trip to Costa Rica with her friends and her friend's parents, Mia was only 19 at this time and she had just started college. Her best friend Amy had arranged to meet her parents, who lived in Costa Rica, and bring Mia along with her as a special gift to her friend. They stayed in a less "resorty" place near Amy's parent's house and spent a lot of time in the house itself. One day, when they went to the beach, Mia met a hunk and was just like "I guess I'll go for it! I'll probably never see him again anyways." They dated for the whole time that Mia was there (one month) and finally they had to part ways and exchange goodbyes... Problem was, when Mia returned back to her dorm she discovered she was pregnant. Instead of putting college aside however, Mia completed college with a Master's degree in Computer Engineering while her son was growing up and finally, 3 years later (Mia was a VERY GOOD STUDENT), Mia finished college, got a decent job at a startup, and moved near Camp half-blood which Hermes had told her about when they were dating since, as he told her, he was a god. JUST in case she had a kid.

Mia and Daniel had a pretty good mother-son relationship as those relationships go and Mia told Daniel that he was the son of a god back was he was in 1st grade when people were first talking about the greek gods. Ever since then, Daniel has never really wanted to come to camp and he tried the hardest he could to not have to come and tried to avoid monster attacks in general. However midway through the school year when Daniel was 13, a Hydra came to his school and destroyed the whole place, it was only contained from killing Daniel when a satyr came with his mom and defeated it... Daniel felt pretty useless at that point and that made him seem to hate camp even more.

It wasn't all that hard for Daniel to get to camp and he passed in without many problems as he lived really near it and they only had to drive for a little while. As soon as Daniel arrived at camp, however, he immediately LOVED it and he is quite popular with the others there and has a lot of friends!

Weapons: Pin that always finds its way onto Daniel's shirt which turns into a celestial bronze sword when he takes it out of where its nestled. This was a gift from his mother which she had gotten from Hermes.
