A passionate and persistent character, Emelie never fails to achieve what she sets out to do. She devotes herself to her interests and always expects the best and better from herself. Emelie is a social butterfly and doesn’t find it hard to make friends and acquaintances wherever she is, but it is sometimes harder for her to find a close circle of those she trusts wholeheartedly, keeping her life and personal things close to her heart. Once you get past this barrier though, you have earned yourself a fighter and a shoulder who will always be in your corner no matter what. She is fiercely loyal and dedicated to her friends, but will not hesitate to tell them her honest opinions and to lay it down straight.
However, her strengths can be her downfalls. Her passion and persistence can make her obsessive and controlling. She has been working on this over the past few years, but her excessive planner might be an indicator to her need to feel in control. Or perhaps it’s her coping mechanism to be less obsessive and controlling in other areas of life. Since her fierce loyalty is unwavering, breaking that trust is serious for Emelie. For someone so enthusiastic and positive, she can sure hold a grudge. Her blunt and impulsive personality combined with her appearance can make her an intimidating person for others to approach, and give them the impression that she’s a bitch.
At the end of the day, Emelie has a lot of love to give, especially to her loved ones. She truly believes love is the conqueror of all.
David Murphy was a notoriously handsome, mixed race ladies’ man at his university, an undiagnosed alcoholic since his first year thriving socially at his university. With a dream to become a professional actor, he tried to get involved with as much extra work on film sets as possible. In January 1994, he met Crystal, another half-Chinese, half-Irish student on one such film set. David had always been a single man who had never thought about settling down, but he had finally met his one true love, Aphrodite in disguise, who shared his passions, and they began dating. Unbeknownst to David, a child was conceived after a university graduation party in August that year.
Following his graduation that summer, David moved into a quaint apartment in London with Crystal to pursue their acting dreams. The couple thrived and enjoyed their time together for the next few months as they settled down. David found a flexible side job to work at as he auditioned for films and TV shows left, right, and center.
Emeliya Quinn Murphy was born on 3rd November 1994, and David was delighted but nervous. He was a young professional with little life experience and didn’t have the most stable of incomes, but he knew that he would love this child with all his heart and would be able to raise them alongside the love of his life. Not even a day later, however, Aphrodite left abruptly, with only excuses of lost love left behind. London was a harsh and expensive place to live when one couldn’t afford childcare, and thus couldn’t work. David’s dreams of an acting career were crushed and he was forced to move back into his family home in Mullingar, Ireland, that he had inherited after his parents passed away during university. With no love of his life, no dreams, and a baby to look after, David began his long sink into depression and alcoholism.
Growing up, Emelie did love her father despite his addiction and his neglect at times. Nonetheless, she found school, her gymnastics club, and eventually her martial arts club to be her safe haven, where she was accepted and loved, and could escape from the troubles at home. From a young age, reputation and keeping face meant everything to Emelie; the control she lost within her home she could try and regain through controlling how people saw her. And so no one would know that David Murphy was an alcoholic. As the years passed and he began to drink more and care less as time went by, Emelie’s frustrations towards him grew. She was 12 when she almost killed her own father.
David’s job interview, that was intended to turn his life around, had not gone well, despite his daughter’s faith and well wishes. Angry and disappointed in himself, he went back to the bottle to drown his sorrows and wallow in his own self-pity. The argument that ensued caused Emelie’s blood to boil at the blatant surrender her father displayed about turning his and their lives around. She wanted to strangle him. And then David couldn’t breathe; he was choking. He grabbed at the tie around his neck, trying to loosen it as he suffocated. In her confusion and concern, her anger ebbed away temporarily, and her father was able to breathe again. Neither of them mentioned the event again, but Emelie was petrified and certain that it was somehow her fault. She didn’t believe in the supernatural, but she couldn’t deny that she had wanted to strangle him right before he started suffocating. There was a dot she couldn’t seem to connect.
That same year, her first monster attack happened: as Emelie walked home alone, a harpy attacked her. Despite her intermediate martial arts training, she was frozen stiff. Had a satyr she recognised as an acquaintance from her school not come in time and killed the harpy, this story might have ended prematurely. After the monster had bitten the dust, the satyr gave Emelie a quick rundown about her history, and advised her to go to Camp Half-Blood with him, but she refused. She wanted to stay and look after her father, and she didn’t believe in the supernatural - she was not a freak. Over the next few years, Emelie attributed each monster attack to something easily explainable in the natural world. Giant scorpion? Rare in Ireland, but probably not totally impossible, and must have just evolved a bit. Hellhound? A big, feral Mastiff that she agitated. Stymphalian birds? The birds also went a bit crazy in that one Teen Wolf episode. Each time, the satyr acquaintance saved her life.
Romantic feelings had never been hard for Emelie to understand. After she quickly realised a girl crush was her first actual crush and on a girl, she accepted that she was bisexual without a struggle. She was not a stranger to the male and female attention either, but she had never found a true connection with the people that were interested in her. That is, until she met a brunette from the boys’ school nearby named Niall. Clicking instantly and becoming fast friends, Emelie found the courage to finally confide in someone about her father’s alcoholism. Niall supported her and didn’t treat her any differently to before, and she loved how he seemed to see through just her pretty face, unlike most of the people she was friends with. They began dating a few months later.
Emelie supported Niall’s aspirations of becoming a singer-songwriter and encouraged him to enter The X Factor, her stubbornness not taking no for an answer. When One Direction was formed, she was introduced to Louis’ girlfriend Emmalie Cortez, with whom she became fast best friends, almost sisters, with. Together, they became background dancers and extras for the band’s music videos, and became very involved with all their performances and concerts.
With the added responsibility of employment, Emelie worked hard to manage her schoolwork, training, and rehearsals. But on one particular night at 16, she returned home late from rehearsal, where she found the atmosphere deathly silent, and found her father passed out on the floor in a pool of vomit and alcohol. She did all she could, performed CPR, put him in the recovery position, phoned the ambulance, but she had been too late. David Murphy passed away from alcohol poisoning in June 2011.
After isolating herself and grieving for a few days, she called Emma and told her what had happened. Since they had also recently finished their exams, Emma suggested that they should join their boyfriends on the band’s Los Angeles recording to get away and distract her. It took some convincing, but Emelie eventually caved and packed for an indefinite holiday she was to leave for in 3 days.
However, immediately after getting settled on the aeroplane, Emelie realised that this wasn’t what she wanted. She never intended to travel 5000 miles with her boyfriend’s band to watch them record their first album; she was vulnerable at the time and needed a distraction from her grief. Niall had been sympathetic when she’d told him, but, and she guessed fairly so, his attention was mostly dedicated to the upcoming recording. Emelie tried to push through supporting her boyfriend and the band for the first few days, but, with Niall seemingly caring more about his growing profession and popularity, she became increasingly irate. Her blood boiled almost as much as it had that one and only time, and, after a screaming match, Emelie decided she’d had enough of her grief coming second to Niall’s income.
Coincidentally, Emma had also been feeling tension with Louis, and so they decided to leave together. On their journey, they hadn’t realised that they had been followed by a telekhine until they were attacked the next day. How was she supposed to attribute this to something natural? It had all happened so fast that Emelie didn’t really understand what had happened. A teenage boy with a limp that looked about their age unsheathed a bronze sword and fought the monster. In its distraction, Emelie grabbed Emma by the wrist, dragging her to run away. She began to fear that the demigod conversation she’d had years ago was the truth; she didn’t want to think about it.
Not long after their separation from the band and the telekhine attack, the two girls came across a flyer advertising spaces in a circus troupe. With no jobs and needing spare money, they auditioned and were accepted soon thereafter. Emelie’s gymnastics background allowed her to become a tumblr and trampoliner in the circus’ acts. She was passionate and persistent in her training, determined to achieve the best and better. Her stage name became Soaring Dove, after she discovered her affinity with the doves that the circus kept.
The next 10 months were the most enjoyable period Emelie had had for a while. But all good things come to an end, and the circus owner fired her niece Phriek, along with Emelie, and Emma, blaming them for letting out the animals. Emelie and Emma were only responsible for freeing the doves, and this incident had been completely unrelated and coincidental to Phriek’s release of the other animals. Emelie and Emma packed their belongings and made their way to leave the circus site until they encountered the same boy from almost a year ago who had distracted the telekhine. Explaining the story that Emelie hadn’t heard in 5 years, the boy asked the two girls to follow him. The girls had nowhere left to go and nothing to lose, so they reluctantly agreed.
After a long journey, they arrived at Camp Half-Blood and were claimed as children of Aphrodite. Emelie resided in the Aphrodite Cabin at Camp for the next two years, training hard and socialising with the other campers. Over time, Emelie felt increasingly agitated and unsure about her place and her future. Her friends at Camp were numerous, but she found it hard to find those she clicked and became close with. Emma was thriving while Emelie felt another wave of grief about her father’s death. Eventually in May 2014, Emelie decided to leave Camp and pursue her dream of becoming a professional stuntwoman.
Over the next 6 years, Emelie worked hard to attain her stunting accreditation and enter the industry. She found herself becoming a rising star in the stuntworld and gaining increasing popularity. In these years, Emelie came to terms with her father’s death and worked on her personal growth. After a few successful years as a stuntwoman, her 2020 came to a halt. Luckily, she’d heard that New Athens had recently opened, and decided to retire there while the world lived out its global pandemic.
Offensive[]
- Children of Aphrodite can create a large plume of dense perfume or make-up which obscures them and begins to suffocate anyone else within it. This can give the user a chance to attack.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to fire razor sharp scallop shells at high speed which can be shot fast enough that they could pierce the skin on impact. The shells would materialize and fire from the user’s palms, so the size of them depends on the user.
Defensive[]
- Children of Aphrodite can cause people of any gender to lose all desire to attack them for a short time. Out of an artificial love, the love isn’t necessarily romantic and could be like sibling love. If the user attacks while this is in effect, it will automatically wear off.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to entrap an enemy in a large scallop shell, similar to the one their mother emerged from at birth. Once closed, the clam is extremely difficult to escape from. It is highly durable and cannot be teleported out of, after a short time the clam will fade from existence. The target cannot be attacked while they are inside the clam, so the power is purely defensive. It can only be summoned twice in the same fight.
Passive[]
- Children of Aphrodite cause anyone who possesses a sexual orientation towards them to be at least slightly, attracted to them.
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to be able to resist charm speak, a charming touch etc. to an extent.
- Children of Aphrodite have the innate ability to be able to resist the effects of pheromones to an extent.
- Children of Aphrodite are able to communicate with and command doves. If the user gives too many commands, the doves will become frustrated and disobey.
Supplementary[]
- Children of Aphrodite can alter their appearance (including clothes and make-up) for short periods of time, the more they alter their appearance, and the longer they maintain the appearance, the more energy it drains.
- Children of Aphrodite can curse someone to feel like they’re completely hated and unloved, they’ll feel like they’re ugly and will sink into self-pity for a short time. This gives the user a chance to attack or flee.
- Children of Aphrodite can infuse magic into their words and ‘charm-speak’ another into doing their will or revealing a secret to them; the person will remain under the control of the charm-speak for a few minutes or until control is relinquished, the longer the control is kept.
- Children of Aphrodite can control the clothing of others, create and transform it at will (not armor). They could turn a girl’s prom dress into a red bikini, create a scarf around someone’s neck and command it to strangle someone etc. Commands and transformations only last for a short time and the target’s clothes revert to normal.
3 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite are able to turn into a dove, which allows them flight, the longer they maintain this form, the more energy is drained.
6 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to control the levels of hormones related to love in humans; serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. The user has the ability to increase or decrease each of these hormones separately or all together. Increases in serotonin will make the target go temporarily insane and decreases will make the target become depressed, while increases in dopamine will make the target super sensitive to their surroundings and decreases will stiffen the movements of the target. Increases in norepinephrine will increase the rate of heart contractions of the target and decreases in this hormone can result in severely lowered heart rate. The use of this power can be extremely draining for the user depending on how extreme the alterations of the hormone levels are.
9 Months After Character is Made[]
- Children of Aphrodite have the ability to transform an area into a maze of mirrors for a moderate period of time, as one of their mother’s attributes was a mirror. Whilst in the maze, the user’s target can become disoriented and confused as all they can see is their own appearance, however, the glass is somewhat durable and cannot be broken easily. The user can move about while the maze is in place, and the sight of their own beautiful reflection empowers them a little. They innately know their way through the maze, as they created it, but they cannot change the layout of the maze once it is in place. The size of the maze depends on how large the user would like it; they can range in size up to that of a battle arena, however, the larger it is the more the user is drained. After dismantling the maze, the user is significantly drained and may not be able to move for a moderate period of time.
Traits[]
- Children of Aphrodite almost always have innate knowledge of the French language since it’s known as "the language of love" and pheromones related to love in humans.
- Children of Aphrodite are known for being incredibly attractive, seductive and flirty.
- Children of Aphrodite often enjoy things that are pretty and things that bring them pleasure. Making them quite fashionable, fun-loving and sometimes promiscuous.
- Children of Aphrodite commonly have a taste for apples.
