[/center]The complete Analysis of Taylor Bailey-Ryann.
Welcome to her life.
You have been warned.

This is what you would find on her Birth Cert.
Go crazy.
Taylor Emma Ryann (Born Bailey)
Female
The 4th of November, 1995
Jane Ryan, mother
Unknown, father

The anonymous parent revealed.
Hermes; god of thieves, travelers, and merchants
Son of Zeus and Maia

Taylor doesn’t really have anything against Hermes. She understands that Hermes is a god, and has a ton of other people to attend to. She refers to him as ‘father’ or Hermes in general as she has not met her father, she cannot call him ‘dad’.

She’s a daughter of who?
Taylor was claimed two days after arriving at camp during the campfire.

~TR~TR~TR~TR~

I was sitting on one of the logs beside the campfire. It amused me to see how the fire changed color and elevation based on what the mood was like around it. It was rather nice to be here, away from my so called ‘family’. Camp was cool, they had archery, sword fighting, a wall of lava, and a bunch of other troublemakers for her half siblings. It was practically heaven on earth for me.

I looked around the circle of people at camp. There were couples sitting beside each other, looking deeply in love, and others arguing, some others were simply alone and having fun with their friends or siblings. It was everything I’ve longed for since… forever. I wondered when my dad would claim me, I’ve always wanted to know who he was.

One of the older campers told me that most gods claim their kids at the campfire. I hope that went for me. But when I saw some of the unclaimed campers in the Hermes cabin, it made me wonder, does my father know that I was here? Does he even know I exist? I hoped he did. Or else I would be stuck in the Hermes cabin. But it didn’t make a difference to me. The Hermes kids were awesome. For once in my life, I actually meet people who understood the irresistible temptation to pull a prank.

I wondered if my dad was Hermes. That’d be really cool. As I was going through thoughts in my head, my mind drifted off someplace, causing me to loose all interest in the sing along. Then to my surprise, everyone was staring at me, “All hail Taylor Ryann, Daughter of Hermes; god of thieves, merchants, and travelers.” Someone announced.

I was worried, what were they talking about? Was this some kind of joke that they pulled on newbies? I looked above my head, there was a light. Was my father claiming me? The light started to fade, and everyone went back to their singing. The Hermes cabin leader walked over, “Welcome to cabin 11 Taylor.” He said smiling.

~TR~TR~TR~TR~

Side note: Taylor has been at camp since she was 14.

What lies under her shell. The true being. The guide to her thought.
Taylor has a rather… sophisticated personality. Being ADHD, she has a limit to what friends she has. She doesn’t care though, that says another segment of her personality. She doesn’t care about what you think about her. As long as she’s happy with herself, Taylor is Taylor, nothing will ever change that. Her attitude is rather snarky, and she tends to overuse sarcasm. But who’s watching? It’s not like anyone cares either.

Being the tomboy she is, she adds a little dash of what she calls ‘flair to speech’. Using slang like ‘dude’, she’s talking like a skater 24\7. Code words? Her favourite. She uses them all the time. She practically lives for codes. Slang, codes, mash ups, all those make up her vocabulary. Regular English? That’s for suckers, who cares? It’s not like anyone other than the grammar freaks use them anyways.

Hiding her feelings from others, she feels safer and more protected. That’s just her opinion, here on the other side of reality; we find that it hurts even more. After all, who’s able to withstand having a knife in their chest all the time? That’s right; nobody can, what makes Taylor any different? Being a demigod doesn’t make you able to withstand all forms of pain. Life isn’t perfect after all.

Though dealing with all this, she still has a snarky sense of humor that supports her and others in times of need and distress. Try to make a joke out of everything. You can’t? Well you should be feeling jealous, because this girl here can. That’s right, you heard me. She’s developed a thing for knowing how to crack a joke out of everything. You wanna learn how? Just watch the master do her magic and tell me how you feel after that. We’ll work on it.

This little miss Hermes has to have some kind of mischievousness right? The answer? Totally. Who doesn’t after all? This girl can’t resist the temptation of the, oh so good feeling of adrenaline pumping through her veins. Run and hide my little goodie two shoes, because someone like Taylor is going around, and we wouldn’t like it if one of you were ruined would we?

At first glance, this little girl here is going to be the queen of pranks, practical jokes, and everything of that sort. All the little ones hide, because the reigning princess of practical jokes is out looking for a victim. What about inside? Inside her world is fighting a war to secrets and the truth. Burying secrets in the sand doesn’t help much it seems. After all, it’s under constant threat to be exposed. Now, nobody wants a buried to secret to be dug up do we? It would be a total tragedy. Her rough exterior would be ruined. In reality, everyone has holes in their clothes once in a while. The trick is just not to reveal it.

But that’s enough about her dark side. Yes, there’s more to this girl. Hey, it’s a complete analysis what’d you expect, A two word personality section? No, I didn’t think so. Things aren’t that simple you know.

One thing about Taylor, is that she always returns a favour. If you help her with something, she’ll help you when you need help. You just have to find her. If you need help though, and she doesn’t owe you anything, you’re going to be in her debt. That’s never a good thing. Her version of help may mean ending up looking like a total fool in front of the camp. No worries, it’s only a one time thing. At least you’ll get to know this girl better.

The holes in the rags
Well everyone has a few... weaknesses, even those who claim not to. Who said that even fictional characters don’t? Everything would be a drag being perfect. Nothing fun would ever happen.

As most of you know by now, Taylor is rather secretive with her thoughts and others. She thinks that it would help her somehow. It’s no excuse to be hurting yourself though. I guess we’ll never know how some people think.

Another hole in her white eyelet summer dress is the constant unbearable temptation to pull a prank and plot worldwide embarrassment. Yes, you heard me, plotting embarrassment. This girl here is that classy. She actually finds this amusing. But who can blame her? She’s born to prank; even if she’s going to end up behind bars.

Everyone has a place to shine, their scene where they are the starring role.
Taylor loves to sneak out of camp to party. She’s likes it that way. At a party, she would probably be in the VIP section, faking the identity of a socialite. Besides, all the good looking boys are behind that velvet line of separation.

Other times when she’s feeling homey, she’ll be in her cabin, plotting a prank on someone or just browsing through the channels, looking for something worth her time to watch. Rocking a pair of pajamas and hugging a pillow on the couch. What a great way to spend time don’t you think?

From the clubbing scene, to a day at home, she knows how to steal the spot light, and stay away from it. So watch out, the next time you meet an Australian model, it may be just another daughter of Hermes.


Meet the people in Taylor’s life. People in Taylor’s life, meet the readers.

Ian Ryann {Stepbrother}
Taylor and Ian aren’t the best of friends. In fact, they treat each other like the other doesn’t even exist. They often fought over the smallest things. Ian, as the most popular guy in school, was always backstabbing Taylor, and Taylor, as the prankster, always found ways to annoy the ‘popular’ cliques.

Sibling(s):Taylor Bailey-Ryann (Step-sister), Kara Sean (Step-sister), Alex Sean (Maternal Half-brother)
Relationship Status: Dating Victoria Carson

Jane Ryann {Biological Mother}
Jane, loves Taylor with all her heart and wants the best for Taylor. At least, she ‘did’. Ever since Jane married Benjamin, they’ve been grown farther and farther apart. Jane didn’t know the cause of this, nor did she stop and think, she just thought that Taylor just wanted attention, and ignored Taylor. Little did she know, Taylor was actually being constantly being let down, told off, and yelled at by Ian.

Soon after, Benjamin started to become suspicious of who Taylor’s father was. (but that’s another story.) Jane started to fight constantly with her daughter, leaving Taylor to feel alone, neglected.

When Jane found Taylor out about Taylor later on from Hermes when he visited her and told Jane that Taylor was a ‘demi-god’ Jane was reluctant at first, but she accepted it when she was shown of the things that Taylor had to go through. Jane tired to contact Taylor and apologize, but Taylor was still hurt. And to his very day, she still feels unloved by her mother.

~TR~TR~TR~TR~

Taylor had heard her bedroom door creak. “Taylor?” her mother had asked. Taylor ignored her, typing something on her computer. Her mother, Jane Ryann had brown hair like her and the same warm brown eyes, but other than that, she was nothing like her mother. Not like Taylor wanted to be like her mother at all. Taylor turned up the music to her headphones, pretending that her mother wasn’t there.

“TAYLOR EMMA RYANN!” her mother bellowed, trying desperately to get her daughter’s attention. Taylor had barely looked up, signaling that she was listening, but continued looking at the computer screen, typing. Her mother sighed, feeling that her daughter was still mad at her for accusing her of something that Taylor didn’t do.

“Dinner’s ready in 15 minutes.” Her mother sighed, quietly closing the door behind her. Taylor had rolled her eyes, closing her laptop and her portable USB rocket stick for WiFi at the park. She honestly didn’t want to spend another second with this ‘family’ of hers, she just needed some time alone; to think about… nothing really. She just wanted to clear her mind.

She stuffed her laptop into her backpack and climbed out the window. Running. Her mother had seen her daughter exit the property, she sighed, knowing that Taylor would return sometime during the night.

~TR~TR~TR~TR~

Benjamin Ryann {Stepfather}
Benjamin disliked Taylor from day one. Imagine how he felt after dealing with her after 4 years when she ran away. Though his wife was never aware of it, he hated Taylor to the deep pits of Tartarus.

He would yell at Taylor for every time she got into trouble. He is the main reason why the relationship between Taylor and Jane is so poor, and mainly the cause of why Taylor ran away.

I walked into the house. I was late from school because I had detention again. I didn’t want my step family to know, or else there would be taunts tomorrow at school, and yelling at dinner. Hey, I was just trying to stay away from all this crap. Why did I get in trouble all the time? Why was there an irresistible temptation to get in trouble all the time? How was it so easy for some others? Why was I stuck with AD\HD and dyslexia on top of that? Did god hate me? All that crap about god loving us and stuff. I wonder if he’s looking at me and saying ‘Oh look, there’s Taylor, let’s go and laugh at her!” or something.

I laid there on my bed, staring at the ceiling. It was sunny today, but I decided to come straight back home. It would seem like the best choice after I wandered off too long and these monster things chased after me. They were gross and ugly; they kept on yelling something about the Greek god Hermes. It seemed like nobody else noticed them, it was only me. They also blamed me for the damage the monsters caused. Today during class, a monster burst through the window, the others thought it was me who set of a firecracker in class, and when I looked back, it seemed as if nothing had happened and there was only smoke from the firecracker I supposedly set off. This was no fair! It wasn’t even my fault! Okay, I liked to pull a prank once in a while, but I wouldn’t be that stupid.

I heard yelling downstairs. “TAYLOR RYANN GET YOUR ARSE DOWN HERE!” the idiot my mother married yelled. Yeah, I call him that. It’s not like he had any respect for me either. I walked down the stairs, passing my step-brother’s room. He smirked at me, of course. It was him who ratted me out. He kept tabs on me at school so that he could bust me.

Sliding down the stair handle things, I jumped onto the hardwood floor, earning a glare from my step-father. “How, many times do I ha-“

“Just get to the point.” she said, crossing her arms.

“You switched the signs on the change rooms? What were you thinking?”

Taylor remained silent.

“Did you know that one of your victims happen to be your brother?”

’Well duh, it was intended for him to walk in on some random girl half clothed.’ she wanted to say, but she kept quiet and bit her bottom lip lightly.

“You’re grounded for a month. No TV, phones, gaming or anything of the sort. Hand ‘em over.” He said, trying to sound intimidating.

Taylor rolled her eyes and let him confiscate pretty much everything that he though she would need. He just didn’t know that she had saved up enough for a laptop the other month.
