[size=12]Name: Tara Destiny Wood

Age/Birthday: 15

Gender: Female

God Parent: Athena

Claimed: Yes

Mortal Family: Andrew Wood (Father), Hanna Wood (Step-Mother.)

Years in Camp: None.

Brief History: Tara always knew that she was different, she just didn’t know why or how. She had many friends, but never really got close to any of them. At first she thought it was because of her appearance, so she began wearing a lot of makeup and began wearing designer clothes. Money was never a problem for Tara, because her father Andrew Wood was a successful inventor and owned a very famous company selling his inventions. She never really grew close to Hanna, her step-mother, although they never really had any huge straight-out conflicts. She was outside running one day, when she ran into a satyr. They talked for a while, and as the satyr went on about how and why Tara was different, all her questions were now answered. As soon as she got her Father’s permission, Tara followed the satyr to Camp Half-Blood, where she was claimed immediately as soon as she entered the doors, past the giant dragon.

Physical Appearance: Tara has beautiful blonde curls that always have a glossy and flouncy look that many girls would kill for. She was never tall or short, nor fat or skinny. She was always around the middle, somewhere in between; average. Tara’s most distinguishing features however, are her eyes. People always have some sort of a comment about them. They were a bright blue, which seemed to always change colors depending on her mood. For example, when she is happy they would twinkle in delight, when she was mad they would turn into an electric blue. When she was concentrating or in pain, they would turn darker and duller, into an almost gray-ish tint.

Personality: Tara always had a great lack of self-confidence. She will fret and worry about everything, and try to be perfect. Tara is a great listener, always willing to listen to you problems. However, she has a hard time afterwards, when she has no idea what to say. She was never really good with words, but she has a way of showing you that she does actually care, and that she will be there for you when you need a shoulder to lean on. Also, Tara has a bad habit of always fidgeting when she is nervous. Most times she will twist her hair between her fingers, or fidget with a bracelet on her wrist.

Fatal Flaw: Lack of self confidence, her fear of Fire, her habit of fidgeting, and her speechless moments when she has no idea what to say.

Pets: none.

Talents: later on discovers she is great with hand-to-hand combat, has great aim with a bow and arrow, is a good friend, running.

Weapons: Short knife that is good for hand-to-hand combat. She already keeps it with her, no matter where she goes. Most of the time, she sticks it in her boots, or up her sleeves.

Year-Round or Summer: undecided.depends.

Wow. This is a really great first character! Accepted! Welcome to CHB!

Name: Bram Cory Burns

Age: 14

Gender: Male

God Parent: Khione

Claimed: Yes

Mortal Family: Andrew Burns, Carrie Burns. (Foster Parents)

Years in Camp: 1

Brief History: Bram always suspected there was something wrong with him, but he always blamed it on the fact that he had never seen his real parents before. Not that he could remember, anyways. His foster parents had found him in a basket on the streets on a snowy day, and they were kind enough to bring him into their own homes. Bram never really socialized much, and stayed in his own little bubble. However, the few people who got the chance of getting to know Bram always loved him, and would always go to him for advice. Bram loved helping out other people, but he hated being in the center of attention, which is another reason why he always sort of stayed in his personal little bubble.

Physical Appearance: Bram always has pale skin, even in the hottest of summers. His skin is always ice-cold, and it looks even paler because of the contrast of his dark curly hair. Bram was always a healthy boy, but a bit on the thin side. It wasn’t like he didn’t eat enough—no, his foster parents took care of that. It was just the way he was. Bram also has brown eyes, to match his dark brown hair. Bram’s eyes are piercing, so people tend to think that he is glaring at them. But that is not true—Bram may look as hard as ice, but inside, he’s just another 14-year-old teenager.

Personality: Bram hates to stand out and always blends in with the crowd, butonly because he wants to. He is never the type to talk to another person first; he always waits for the other person to come to him. Bram loves to help out others. He likes to see a smile on the other person’s face, but he always refuses to get credit for his work. Bram tends to stick to himself, but can be a great friends to the very few people he gets close to. It takes a while to earn his trust, but once you get it, you have his complete loyalty.

Fatal Flaw: Lack of socializing, hates heat (stays inside a lot during the summer),

Pets: Has a puppy at his foster home, named Cherry.

Talents: During his year at camp he became a great fighter. He can make the temperature drop (but not by much), sometimes can control ice and the weather(depends on the situation and concentration).

Weapons: A boomerang that he keeps in his belt loop at all times, a long sword that transforms into a pen when needed.

Year-Round or Summer: Summer

Like the Charrie! Very well done!
