Parents meeting: David Terumi worked at a big library in New York City. He met Athena there in the New York Times Square where he asked her out. It was definitely love at first sight. They had a great relationship for a couple of months. And they had a great mental connection. A couple of days later Athena then had a child (through her "mind" because technically she can't get pregnant), she left him. David got killed in a car crash soon after Rosella was born. When Athena was searching for David so he can take care of Rosella, she found out that he died and then left Rosella in a basket with a letter: “Please take care of this baby. Her name is to be Rosella. There is a bracelet in the basket which is to be given to her when she grows up. It will protect her.” And with the letter, was instructions to Camp Half Blood. Two couples who couldn't make any kids saw the basket and baby Rosella inside and decided to adopt her as their own.
Childhood: Rosella had a rough childhood. At age 3, she was diagnosed with autism and had a hard time communicating with others. Rosella loves to sing but hardly sings in front of anybody because of her autism. Her middle school was rough too. She was always alone and didn't have anybody or any friends to go to. (She also has ADD.) She is also very smart and a pure genius when it came to specific subjects like math, science, and literature (meaning English and reading)
(monster attack) Rosella’s first monster attack was when she was age 13. (At this time, she was given her bracelet) She was walking home from her therapy session and a hellhound came up to her (as a dog). She came up to it, trying to pet it, but then it swiped it’s paw at her and she got scratch marks (later turned into scars) on her left arm. A satyr then appeared out of nowhere and then attacked the hellhound by using it’s reed pipes. It was a long battle but the satyr did not give up. It then disintegrated after he stabbed it with a celestial bronze dagger. The satyr then told her that his name was Jake. Jake told her that she needed to go to a special camp asap before anything else happens to her. Rosella told him (on paper) that she didn't want to leave without saying goodbye to her parents first. Her adopted parents were surprised that she was a demigod but soon got over that quickly and then Jake told them about camp half-blood. Her parents agreed to let her got to camp for awhile but that she had to come back soon after. Jake gave her ten minutes to pack before they left for camp. Then he told her everything about greek gods and the myths and how they were real. Jake then told her that she was special. She found out that she was a demigod and went in denial. Rosella didn't like it. She didn't like the fact that she was a demigod at all.
(what happened in those two years) Rosella only went to camp for 2 months. But she then went back home because she couldn't take it. She asked a camp director to use their phone to call her parents. Her "parents" picked her up since she asked a camp director's phone. It was too much for Rosella. Plus, Rosella didn't like to be away from her adopted parents. She spent her time defending her and her parents from monsters, trying to get some education done, but with all of the monster attacks that was going on, she couldn't stand it and decided that when she turns 15, she'll leave immediately to camp.
(getting claimed) At her 15th birthday, she had another monster attack. A harpy attack both she and her adopted parents while taking a walk at a park. Since they (her adopted parents) could see through the mist, they tried to protect her, but to a fail. The harpy attacked Rosella, and her bracelet, which was on her right wrist, flung off and turned into bows and arrows. Rosella did what a small little voice in her head told her to do, kill it with those weapons. Rosella didn't know any archery at that time and just slashed at the harpy with an arrow and after a couple of slashes, it disintegrated. Her parents turned out to be alright but they had some minor cuts and scratches. After the attack, Rosella was horrified that her parents will be in even more danger if she stayed and told them to drive her to camp. Using Rosella's brilliant memory, they got the directions to camp and drove her there. She bid them a sad farewell and stepped back into camp. From that moment on, Rosella has stayed in camp.
