| First Character: Calla Johnson. - Spoiler:
Name:
Calla Johnson.
Age/Birthday:
17 / April 15th
Height:
5' 11"
Weight:
133
Race:
Half-blood
Sex:
Female
God-parent:
Demeter
Mortal Parent(s):
Asher Johnson - Former botanist turned earth-worshiping hippie.
Claimed: Yes
Talent:
- Can accelerate plant growth.
Weapon:
-Mist form: Gardening Trowel
-Non-Mist form: Short Staff
Pets: None
Physical Appearance:
Calla has very straight, blond hair that reaches a little past her shoulders and could be described as sun-like. She has slanted, green eyes and stays tan with all her time of being outside. Freckles dot her cheeks and shoulders. She is rather tall compared to some girls her age, making her feel powerful and strong. Clothing choice doesn't matter to her. She'll wear just about anything, as long as she's comfortable and it isn't girly. Usually, she wears the orange shirt that reads "Camp Half-Blood" and blue-jean shorts.
Personality:
Calla has a tendency to come off as rude and arrogant at first meeting. She assumes that others won't understand her ways of thinking and immediately shuts them out. In essence, she puts up a wall between herself and others, putting herself up on a pedestal in her own mind. Under this shell, however, she is a compassionate person who really puts her all into what she does. When it comes to her family and friends, she will fight for them with all that she has, but she won't hesitate to turn around and attack those that she worries will harm those she actually cares about.
Flaw:
Pride - Rather than doing what may be required by those around her, she will ignore orders and do what she wishes to do (usually tending to the earth), believing that her own wishes should be valued above those of the people around her. When she has something she needs to do but doesn't feel like doing, she is quick to bully others into doing it for her, believing them below her enough to do her work for her.
Background:
Calla grew up in a model suburban home with her father, living the average suburban life. Her father supported the two of them as a botanist, often bringing some of his work home with him to share with his ever-curious child. He taught her everything that she could understand, in hopes that it would help her get closer to her mother (whom he told her had passed away shortly after childbirth). His wishes were suddenly answered when his employer had to lay off most of the team that he worked for, leaving he and the then 10 year old Calla to live off of his savings until they were forced to leave their home.
Rather than subject his daughter to constantly moving around and staying with random friends and acquaintances, he withdrew her from school and packed what few things they had into the back of their car, taking her to a hippie colony he had stayed at during summers while in college. The colony accepted them with open arms, quickly teaching Calla to adapt to their ways.
It became clear as she grew older that her father could no longer keep the secret of her mother from her. She had begun asking about what kind of person her mother was as she grew into a teenager, and he could only make up so many things to tell her before he began contradicting himself. Finally, on her 16th birthday, he told her the truth. Rather than taking it as a reason to become a role model to the younger children of the colony, the news sparked a distorted sense of self-importance in her. She began to bully others around her, going as far as to even yell at her elders to do things that were her responsibility, simply because she believed herself above them.
Quickly fed up with Calla's actions, her father shipped her off to Camp Half-Blood, hoping that being around others like her would help to humble her.
Years in Camp: One
Year Round or Summer: Year-Round
Other Info:
- Values plants over people at most times.
- Has loose ideas of gender, something learned from people living in the colony. Refers to herself as a boy sometimes. Dates any gender or species.
- Doesn't own a single pair of shoes.
- Nearly always covered in dirt.

| Thanks! I wanted her to be as developed as possible, but she has room for improvement. We can, with any of your characters. They all seem wonderful!
Updated with a drawing. | |

| Awe. Thanks, both of you!
I tried to be descriptive.
I try to use a lot of references when drawing.
The poses and expressions especially. | |

| References are your best friend. xD I had a friend one time that said "References are cheating!" I flipped. I was like: "NO IT'S NOT!"
So yeah, I shall stop cluttering your topic now. | |
