Index > Camp Claiming > Camp/Aurora Nightshade

Name: Aurora Nightshade

Gender: Female

Age:17

God Parent: Zephyrus, Apollo, Hermes

Mortal Parent: Tracy Nightshade

Appearance (The Image) : she sometimes has a seagull feather in her hair to                                                     symbolise the importance of freedom to her.                                                                       

Personality: Aurora is kind and caring, though can be stern. She has a generally happy personality much like her mother, though tends to loose confidence when her life before camp is mentioned or discussed. Her mind cannot easily be changed and when something is difficult, she never gives up, so she is strong-willed and determined. She is adventurous like her mortal uncle who was previously thought to be lost. And is indipendant and will proudly sacrifice her life for someone she knows or dosnt know, because Gales' (The Satyr who saved her life at the edge of camp) sacrifice inspired her to do the same for other people.  

History: Her parents met when Tracy was touring around Greece for a University project, and they fell in love. And after her trip was over, they had a daughter who was extreamly sick. So Zephyrus pleaded with Hermes to cure her and Hermes did so, but at a price. It was told that she will become sick again in her teenage years and will die. Tracy Nightshade died of Cancer when Aurora was 10.

After her mothers funeral, she met a man that she didnt know, but he knew her mother. He was apparently Aurora's long lost uncle James. She was taken care of by her uncle but before her mother died, Tracy had written Aurora a note which was hidden in her favourite book, 'Robbin Hood' and she didnt notice it till she was 14. It explained to her about how her parents met and who she really was. But she thought that her mother was just being crazy. A week later, when visiting her mothers grave on a Spring day, a bright blue Hyacinth flower(Related to the 'Death of Hyacinth' myth and was a clue to who her father was) was at the stone in the middle of a bunch of white Lillies. Neither Aurora nor her Uncle knew who put it there, or why the it was put in the Lillies from the funeral. But they both thought it was very strange. By the next year, she was taught history by her uncle,as well as multiple languages like Italian and Spanish, he taught her Ancient Greek History and Mythology from what he had lernt on his travels around the workd. Aurora was facinated and wanted to learn more so she began to study the subject as a hobby, but thought nothing on the 'Mythology'.

Aurora was only 13 when she first found out that she was a Demigod, though this was explained to her in the letter, she thought it was crazy and didnt believe it. At 15, her 'friend' Tory turned out to be the Furie Alecto, Aurora was knocked out and someone killed the monster, Aurora woke up in the school office and was told she got hit on the head. She thought that the monster attack was all a dream and thought nothing of it. At 16, she was almost killed by Orthrus, the two-headded dog. She was petrified from fright since she is scared of dogs, and was saved by a guy called Gale Evins who, had been in crutches all his life saying that he was in a car accident and his legs were shattered, defeated the monster and Aurora fainted from shock to see he was actually a Satyr. She woke up at home and told her Uncle what had happened, concerned for his neice, he took Aurora to hospital thinking that she was suffering from extreamly bad dreams. But, of course they wernt.

It wasnt till she was 17 that she found out she was a Demigod. She dosnt like to talk about her past much. She went on a school excursion to study the wild life in the area close to camp and coincidentaly, Gale was once again in her class. She still remembered the memory of Gale being a Satyr, though as not to worry her Uncle she reffered to it as a 'bad dream'. Whilst answering questions on the Hyacinth flower with Gale, which looked much like the one that mysteriously appeared on her mothers grave stone, they were attacked by a Fire-Breathing Horse. So they ran away from their class and Gale (Now revealing his Satyr form for the second time) directed her to the camp, Aurora was badly burned by the horse when she had fallen but Gale saved her by sacraficing his life and she eventually got to camp. After being claimed and relising to her horror that everything her uncle had told her in his lessons was real, she was given her weapons by the members off the Zephyrus cabin. When she isn't training, she is usually found taking pictures of nature and phenonenons or talking to Satyrs and showing them her photos. She is also mistaken for an Aphrodite girl which she greatly dislikes.

Her was given a camera to her 12th birthday by her uncle and always keeps it close to her. Her camera keeps all her memories safe and is a light grey colour, under it is scratched a few words in Italian written by her grandmother: 'To tred carefully through life, things aren't always what they seem' though you can hardly read it since it is so small. Everyday Aurora runs with her camera and weapons, she could be gone for hours on end taking photos or fighting monsters and is a good at fighting. She hasnt been on a quest yet but hopes to get one soon, she hasnt been out of camp since she's gotten there, but despreatly wants to leave but hasnt been able to. She dosnt know how her family is, especially her uncle who inspired her with his adventures and helped her become who she is today. She is haunted by the memory of Gales' death which suprises her since the other Satyrs at the camp were always cautious, but that is the main reson she hasnt been outside the camp since she got there, since she dosnt want to pass the place where she had fallen. And Gale had died for her survival.

Weapons: Celestial Bronze long sword, a blow pipe with Celestial Bronze tips and poison darts for Demigod enemies.
