Personality[]
Aderyn Evans is a very outgoing person, often hardly daunted by any activity or book regardless of her inability to sit still for prolonged periods of time. She always looks at an opportunity with a strategic eye, weighing the benefits with the consequences and mostly deciding that way. Aderyn lives with a slight militaristic twist everyday, getting up at the crack of dawn to practice and not fully resting till her task has been done, a trait that makes up her fatal flaw. Aderyn is constantly trying to better herself to points where it is detrimental to her .As a proud Bisexual Aderyn is open to flirts from either gender and most likely will respond to the flirts with flirts of her own but wont overstep her boundaries.
Appearance[]
Long blond hair that is often tied up in an intricate braid, light skin and blue eyes. Aderyn often wears cargo pants with sleeveless shirts and jackets when it's cold, a silver chain with a ring attached to it visible around her neck as a memento to her mother with the words ‘nid yw adar dewr yn ofni hedfan ar eu pennau eu hunain’ inscribed on it meaning ‘brave birds are not afraid to fly on their own’ in welsh.
History[]
Cerridwyn Evans had dreamed of working for the military her entire life, once she left school she applied to join the army. Cerridwyn had moved to America leaving behind her Welsh home and worked her way up through ranks and reached the rank of General after nearly 20 years of enlistment. Being a strategist Cerridwyn did not often see the front lines and assisted in adjusting and adapting many maneuvers to fit the environment they were to be used in.
This strategy prowess allowed Cerridwyn to lead a comfortable life and allowed her to maintain a social and love life. One evening when she and her mates went out to a bar local to where they were currently stationed, the group had gotten tipsy and were chatting freely. They had hardly noticed the stranger who had quietly joined the groups table and she and Cerridwyn conversed about tactics. The duo them met up after then having the most interesting conversations, Cerridwyn was openly flirty with the woman since she was publicly lesbian and the woman seemingly responded well to her mediocre attempts
After approximately two months of these events the woman missed their meetings and avoided Ceridwyns attempts to contact them. A determined Cerridwyn decided to try her best to still be good at her occupation and look for the elusive woman but one of them had to give and Cerridwyn stopped looking for the lady that had not only captured her heart but her mind as well. Three months after Cerridwyn gave up looking she heard a knocking on her private quarters and went to investigate as it was in the middle of the night, in the hallway wrapped up in a basket was a baby girl no older than a few weeks old and a note. This note informed Cerridwyn about the child's heritage and precautions that will need to be in place with an intricate leaf armband that would be the child's weapon should she be in any danger along with directions to a safe place where the child could live.
Placing an unexpected prolonged leave of absence that permitted Cerridwyn to take the child and herself back to her home country to raise her, on the trip over there Cerridwyn decided to name the child Aderyn, meaning bird, as if this child was anything like her mother she too would have a free spirit. And Cerridwyn’s guess about the child proved to be true, Aderyn would hardly ever stay still and would be out playing among the hills in the village the two had moved to playing with the other children or on her own. Aderyn started to learn basic defence when she was old enough to due to her mothers military career who would still work for her division but remotely, chess and other strategic games were also important in her education as the two would play everyday to learn techniques.
Seeing her mother wooing and flirting with the women in the village Aderyn would ask her mother about the ladies, this led to Aderyn's discovery about the LGBTQ+ community and learning more about her mother who was Lesbian herself. Confused about all the new information a few days later Aderyn claimed she would be bisexual as she didn't see why gender should influence who she should love, Cerridwyn never treated her any different only teaching her the best ways in her mothers techniques for wooing people and how to flirt effectively.
When Aderyn was old enough she went to a secondary school closer to the city and further away from the village she lived in, due to Cerridwyn not being able to protect her daughter as well due to Aderyn’s growing independence she made her daughter wear the armband she had found her with everyday since she started the term. Even from the start Aderyn was openly affectionate and flirty to all her classmates, boy or girl save her closest friends. Aderyn was under strict instructions to head to and from school efficiently and quickly but one day well into the spring term of her second year one of Aderyn’s classmates, Evie, had managed to get permission for Aderyn to go to the family ranch.
Upon arrival the two chatted and played before going to tend to the horses before riding them, they were in the middle of feeding two of them when one horse started to go berserk frightening the other horses. Evie had tried to calm it down but the horse broke free causing Evie to fall to the ground, her bright ginger hair slightly singed, getting a better view of it Aderyn saw that the horse had started to breath fire! Scared she reacted how a typical twelve year old would, she screamed and ran, with no real knowledge of the landscape Aderyn just ran in the direction that was away from the creature. Her footing was sure as she dashed over the gentle green hills and eventually found a cluster of trees in which, thanks to the many trees she had climbed prior, she was able to ascend it. Aderyn who had clambered up grabbing handholds and hefting herself up when there were no footholds hid herself within the foliage of the tree for hours as she waited to be rescued. The sun was dipping low by the time Evie had found her, her stomach growling and feeling parched.
Upon reaching home Aderyn was scolded severely for running away from the ‘frightened horse’ and cause both families to worry but when Aderyn thought she was about to get her sentence delivered Cerridwyn hugged her daughter. Confused Aderyn looked up at her mother when their embrace ended. Cerridwyn told her how proud she was about how Aderyn had reacted to the situation, the time had come for Cerridwyn to loosely explain the events that had led to Aderyn's first monster attack. Aderyn’s discovery just proved how different she was but didn’t let it get in the way of her romantic exploits and at home she began to learn some basic moves with her sword. She had been excited when she discovered the armband she always wore transformed into a jian war sword as heavy as it was; she needed to use two hands to maneuver it smoothly.
The following four years involved the schedule of: wake up, go to school school, train, free time, sleep, repeat. Aderyn had found this one girl that had arrived at the school, not long after she found out she was a demigod, that came up to her and flirted with her as the first thing they did. The flustered response the girl got only made both of them blush but over the days the two became comfortable with each other and often flirted daily and openly, Aderyn then learnt that the girls name was Katherin and it became a habit for the two to talk in Welsh rather than English. With encouragement from their friends Aderyn and Katherin asked each other out on the same day which led to hugs and embraces.
Monster attacks followed and due to the seclusion of where the Evans family lived most of them were in the open countryside and Aderyn was able to fend them off and get to high or safe spots. These proved troublesome nearing exams as she and Katherin were out on a study date revising for one of their subjects when what looked like a German shepherd dog was spotted bounding over to them, as it got closer Aderyn realized it actually was a giant ant. Instinctively Aderyn pushed Katherin behind herself and reached for the armband she always wore and began fending it off. Aderyn was exhausted and bruised by the time the monster had turned to dust, she was very thankful for when Katherin - despite Aderyn’s protest - distracted the beast allowing her to get the final blow in with her Jian. The couple awkwardly sat in silence while Katherin treated Aderyn’s wounds and walked back to her home which wasn’t far from where they were.
Cerridwyn was mortified when the two walked in the door, once Katherin had left Aderyn finally broke down crying. These events led to Cerridwyn telling Aderyn about a safe place she could live and not be hunted. The two decided that at the end of the school term they would go to the place where Aderyn would not be hunted constantly and Cerridwyn could return to her post in America. Exams were taken and grades were given, Aderyn had received decent grades and among the highest in her year.
The Evans family said goodbye to all their friends and family in Wales and got on their flight to Manhattan where they had gotten a decent home with a small garden. Aderyn made the trip with her mother encountering a few monsters that they had been able to avoid in the car and arrived safely but hungrily at camp. Cerridwyn as a parting gift gave Aderyn a necklace with a ring on it and with the words ‘nid yw adar dewr yn ofni hedfan ar eu pennau eu hunain’ inscribed on it meaning ‘brave birds are not afraid to fly on their own’ in welsh. The mother and daughter duo said their goodbyes and Aderyn promised to be home for major holidays and birthdays before Aderyn passed through the boundary. It had been less than a day since she had been claimed, arriving at camp early in the morning and being claimed before curfew, she unpacked in her bedroom in the Athena Cabin and fell to sleep soundly in her new environment.
Powers[]
Offensive[]
- Children of Athena have the ability to see each specific pressure point on another person and are proficient at striking them in order to immobilize or greatly pain another person for a short time.
- Children of Athena are changed during battle and become stronger and quicker in combat than a normal human could achieve.
Defensive[]
- Children of Athena are able to generate loose materials or manipulate any loose materials found around them to weave a wall. The wall obstructs the view of anyone facing them, and also blunts attacks. However, it does not stop attacks entirely, it is only capable of slowing the attacks down (possibly say that the wall will cut like a bunch of woven stuff or something ~ spiders and what not).
- Children of Athena, using their inclinations of battle and strategy, can most of the time, predict the course of action an opponent attacking them will take, and and are able to dodge or parry accordingly. However, if the prediction is wrong this may cost the child of Athena dearly.
Passive[]
- Children of Athena have the innate ability of hyper-cognition. They are able to perform more complex mental operations than a normal human could achieve. They are able to process thoughts and learning far quicker than others with little cognitive effort.

- Children of Athena have minor telepathic abilities, making them able to telepathically communicate with their allies and read the current thoughts of an opponent’s mind. But this mind reading does not always work.
- Children of Athena through telepathy are able to alter the moods of a person or group of people for a short time. They are able to make an ally calmer and more courageous or an opponent panicked or depressed. Once a target has suffered from this power, they become resistant to it for a moderate amount of time.
- Children of Athena can curse an opponent, temporarily ruining their ability to formulate battle strategies for a short time. With this curse, the target would only think up rather silly and quite awful strategies. This gives the user a chance to attack or flee. Ex: The target would fake a heart attack and fall back on the ground, thinking the user would believe it and give up on the fight.

After a short time, the curse will wear off and the target will regain their intelligence and knowledge. Their minds will be resistant to further use of the curse for a moderate time and the user will be substantially drained.
9 Months After Character is Made[]
