   Mortal Family:
   Stella Williams was 23 and just out of university before she met Apollo. She had graduated a year ago and had left her parents' house in the suburbs a few months earlier in order to try and live independently in New York City and find a job to support herself without her parents' help. Stella was failing. Nobody was willing to give her a job and she had to work as a waitress. But living in Manhattan was expensive and her savings were running out. She was falling into depression and dreaded having to go back to her controlling, strict, and old-fashioned parents.

   On one stormy day, she drove to Montauk and tried to walk out to sea. When she found that the water level was up to her shoulders, she found herself getting dragged back to the beach. Even though she fought and cried and begged the man to let her go, he didn't relent and sat her down on the sand and wrapped her firmly in a towel. She sobbed and hysterically told her story to the stranger who listened to everything that she said and offered a smile and a hand when she was done. They fell in love and a month later when he disappeared suddenly, she found out that she was pregnant.

   Although she was distraught at his disappearance, she also considered meeting him a stroke a luck, even though it did leave her with a child. Someone made a job offer to Stella a week after she started dating him. It was perfect, with good pay, flexible hours, and it was just the thing she was looking for. It did require some hard work, but Stella Williams was no stranger to hard work and didn't mind it. She had enough money to have a good start with her kid and was no longer worried.

   Her parents were less than overjoyed when they found out that Stella was pregnant. They told her to give the child up for adoption and when she refused, they disowned her - telling her not to come to them for help and try to contact them unless she got rid of the child.
   And everything was good for a while. Her relationship with Jonathon was great, her job was great, their house was a little small but cozy. She still missed Apollo and even her parents but it was easy enough to deal with those feelings.

   But then, when Jonathon was 11, a larger, corporate business bought the company that she worked for and she was unemployed again. She found herself having to work as a waitress again and a few months later, her bank account was once running dangerously low. Appearing to have no more luck on her side, Stella sold the house, packed their things, and Jonathon and she went to a place she never thought she would see again. Her parents' house.

   Stella is a pretty woman, she's average height and has a slight tan. Her hair is dark brown with the occasional gray hair and she has brown eyes. She has a nice smile but nowadays, you won't see her smiling very much.

   Jonathon also has a two living grandparents and a step-father but he has nothing positive to say about any of them.
   (Read about his grandparents and step-father below)

   Brief History: Jonathon had a bit of an easy childhood, compared to most. His mother wasn't constantly going off to work and leaving him to fend for himself, so their relationship wasn't shot to dust from the very start. On the odd day every so often, he would come home to an empty house but he didn't mind since his mother took great care to constantly keep their fridge all stocked. He's always had this incredibly fast metabolism which resulted in him being able to consume massive amounts of food.

   While definitely not excelling in the academic area, Jonathon was very involved in sports, his main sport of interest being track and field. He also found that he was a mean archer at summer camp, as well as being pretty handy with plastic braiding (but he doesn't tell anyone that, being a skilled braider is not a manly talent). Of course, there was the occasional monster attack but Jonathon dismissed these events at bad luck, although his mother knew otherwise.

   And then came the hard year, the year where they were forced to go to live with his grandparents. Jonathon didn't know his grandparents. He had heard his mother talk about them once or twice but he had never met them. He was excited, but his mother had a grim look on her face the entire drive there. Jonathon later found out why. His grandparents were hardly the kind and welcoming kind that he saw often enough on TV. They were stern and extremely conservative. They both smiled when they saw his mother but when they set their eyes on him, all warmth disappeared and he shrunk back behind his mother instinctively.

   The months after they first arrived at his grandparents' house were hard. His mother was given her old room but Jonathon had to use the attic. Every night for the first two weeks, he could hear them scolding her as if she were a child and every day he saw them ordering her around. Stella fell into a depression harder than the first one and Jonathon suffered along with her. When his mother quieted and took to staying in her bed most of the time, Jonathon's grandparents turned their attention to him.

   He had to do most, if not all, the chores in the house and he had to do them silently, without a complaint. While he worked sometimes, he could hear his grandmother and grandfather talking about how his mother's life had been great before his lousy, irresponsible father had shown up and then left. He heard his grandmother sometimes mutter "Wicked child" under her breath and his grandfather grumble about how Stella should have listened to him and gotten an abortion.

   The first monster attack at his grandparents' house was the worst. It was a group of dracaenae that decided to go straight after him. The police were called and the dracaenae disappeared but his grandmother screamed at him and asked him what he was, even striking him on the face at one point.

   Jonathon threw himself into school after that, he wanted to be away from the house for as much as possible. He made as many friends as he could and would hang out with them whenever he could and attended as many after school activities as he could, even though it meant punishment from his grandparents. His home life didn't go without an impact on his social life, though. There were days were Jonathon would come to school angry and if a kid decided to be rude to him on one of those days, he would fight them. He was sent to the office, often suspended for a few days. He went home with a bloody nose and once, a broken arm - home to a house of angry grandparents who made him do his regular chores anyway and scolded and screamed at him for hours.The thought that carried his through most days was that he only had to endure a few more years and then he would be 18 and he could run away.

   His grandparents then decided to set up Stella and someone she had dated in high school. The man was selfish, apathetic, and all-around horrible. But he was good looking and he had plenty of money, which was enough for his grand parents to think that he would be a good match for Stella. They were married when Jonathon was 13. Jonathon could deal with his grandparents but three was too much for him. Six months after the marriage, he searched through his mother's things in order to find out at least something about his father. He hit the jackpot a few days after he first started searching. A box full of things that reminded his mother of his father, gifts that he had given her, and an address

   Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141
   Long Island, New York 11954

   The next day, Jonathon left his house and didn't look back. His journey to camp was hard and it took almost a month because a group of monsters started to follow him after his second day. He found a group of three other demigods and two satyrs on his third week and after that, things started to get a lot easier.

   Physical Appearance: Jonathon is 5'11" tall and has a more lanky and wiry build. He has dark brown hair and nice blue eyes (although you can't see how PURDY they are in the picture above). He still has that boyish look about him, as he is not quite at the age where he can be considered an adult. He tends to wears plain jeans, sneakers, and a shirt rather than sashaying about shirtless and flexing his (kind of scrawny-ish) muscles for all the ladies of camp to ooh and aah (laugh) at. He has one scar on his back from a run-in with a monster and another on his hand from a rather embarrassing experience that he tries to avoid talking about at all costs.

   Personality: Jonathon is a playful guy, often teasing and poking fun at friends. He's quite friendly and not afraid to act like himself even around strangers. He often makes up names that he considers EPIC (but are most likely just really weird) for anything that he thinks could do with a name. Jonathon is a nice enough guy, although he can be a bit devious at times, prone to playing pranks and jokes on people. He does not have an artistic bone in his body, and he most likely won't even attempt to do things that require artistic talent. His past has taken its toll on him so that Jonathon now unconsciously believes that he has to prove himself to everyone and anyone, usually doing dangerous and incredibly stupid things. He hates bullies and is likely to get into fights. When it comes to dares, he'll do them all.

   He's proud and headstrong, Jonathon usually takes on others without thinking of the ramifications of doing so. He finds it hard to control his emotions, often acting on anger or despair. Anybody who values their own neck would not follow any of the plans that he concocts because they're crazy, dangerous, and seriously unlikely to work - although he never seems to realize it. Jonathon is fearless, but that isn't necessarily a good thing. He doesn't know what's good for himself and does not hesitate to face impossible danger. Thoughts of what he's going to do or what's going to happen afterward do not enter his thoughts and he gets to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie in the heat of the moment.
   Fatal Flaw: He doesn't know his own limits and feels a need to prove himself.

   Pets: His mother got him a dog on his 10th birthday, but it was more for her than him anyway. The dog stayed back home with his mother and grandparents.

   Talents: Jonathon is pretty slick with a bow and arrow like most other children of Apollo and he is also a fast runner. He knows the basics of using a sword, but he shouldn't use a sword unless he has no other choice.
   Weapons: A bow of EXTREME MONSTER DEADMAKINGHOOD (Yeah, just a regular bow).
   Other: Face claim is Michael Christopher Bolten. He is adopted from starry.
