Brief History:
Hale was born in San Fransisco, but his mom moved him immediately. Hale had no problem with this and found it completely normal that a single mother would want to move away from her past and start anew.

When his sister, Toni, was born he rejoiced, glad there was another member of his family. Toni was soon joined by Tyson, and Hale saw that his family complete. The only problem was, all three children were demigods. Tyson was even a son of Zeus!

Hera was angry, angry at Hailey, and hit her where it hurts, her children. Hale and Toni teamed up when protecting the house from Hera, but Tyson was too young to survive a blow from a goddess. He died and Hale was hit on the head with a piece of roof.

What did he forget? That he had a sister who he loved, and that his mom knew about mythology. Other than that, the Hera incident only took him to camp a few years later. He was dragged away by a satyr and taken to Camp Half-Blood's safety. He tried to run away a few times, but he did end up in camp.

At camp he met Leo, a son of Poseidon, and that boosted up his spirits. Soon he befriended some of his siblings, first Alex, then Katie, then Seth, and then just about everyone else, but then he started hanging out with others. He met Roxanne Michaels, who went on to nominate him for Apollo Cabin Leader. Shortly, he became Cabin Leader, and befriended the other Cabin Leaders, with the exception of Cody. They got of to a rough start, both yelling at each other, then each of them leaving. Luckily, at the next meeting, tragedy brought them together. The war changed them, and soon Hale and Cody were on an acquaintance basis (they're still working on "friendship").

When Zan, Roxanne, and Gen died, Hale went into an emotional frenzy. He thought about suicide before Zan's cousin Julia got in the way. Hale was back on track, and handled finding out that Taylor was Zan with flying colors. He didn't take that his mother died so well though, Alex Dashwood or Toni Drem could tell you that!

Physical Appearance:
Hale has light, golden blond hair. It's cut short, and cropped. His hair occasionally grows long and shaggy, and he doesn't get around to getting it cut a lot. When it is long, you will find he has trouble consternating and is often antsy, but when it's cut short he is often calm and peppy.

His eyes are brown, which are the color of his mom's eyes. No one is quite sure why he got his mom's eye color instead of his dad's, since the god's genes normally overpower the mortals, but he did. Hale believes it is because his mom is strong, and meant to help do great things.

His skin is tan, but only when he's in the sun, otherwise it's pale. It is very similar to the Apollo cabin, which turns golden when hit by sunlight. He almost always has a smile on his face, which lights up the room, and his eyebrows are arched. He kind of has a weaselly, surfer look to him, and his aura is calm and sturdy.

His Camp Half-Blood shirt is tight to his chest, which makes him look stronger than he really his. He only wears Nike running shoes, and black gym shorts. He has a yin-yang sun necklace and a backpack which he wears often, but not always. The rest of the time, it's either laying on his bed, on his floor, or in his hand as a bow.

Personality: Hale is loyal and cocky. He will fight to the end for friends, siblings, or just people in need. The cocky part comes when he makes a shot. If he simply hits someone's foot with an arrow, he'll get so cocky he'll let his guard down, and possibly even get lazy.

Still, he can be brave and powerful if he tries. He has leadership in him, even if it is often under the surface, deeply hidden inside of him. Once he became Cabin Leader, he found out just what lied under the surface. He was a natural leader, and he was brave enough to take on the job.

He is claustrophobic, and hates to be inside, which has something to do with his dad being Apollo. He feels best when he's outside in the sunlight. He hates the dark, and only feels safe with light, but it's okay because he can control light. This can also be traced back to his dad. He often reminds himself that is dad is Apollo for comfort, because Hale feels Apollo is the greatest god, and one that would never back down.
Favorites: Hale loves snowboarding, sugar, and the snow. If he could spend all day outside, eating candy, and snowboarding, he would. His dream job would be working as an apprentice for his father, Apollo, and Hale's life dream is to meet Apollo.
Least Favorites: Hale can't stand being under pressure, and he hates being talked down to. Being one of the youngest, and the smallest, Cabin Leader, Hale often gets treated as the kid, which he doesn't much care for. He also hates being inside, and he doesn't do well in tight spaces. Hale's least favorite job would be a teacher, and he never wants to be put down by his peers.
Fatal Flaw: Hale can be a little insensitive and cocky, which could lead to his death if he isn't careful.

Pets: Hale has a puppy named Truckee, who is a male black lab.
Truckee:


Demigod Abilities: Hale can use his bow for trick shooting, and he can control light. Those are his two Apollo powers. He can't heal very well, but he simply tells himself it's because he's young. He has always been determined to learn, and he spends a lot of time in the infirmary, looking at his siblings healing examples.

He isn't very good when close-combat fighting, since he can't use a sword, but is good at sharp shooting. Hale is a master with his bow, and hits even the smallest of targets.

He can take more ambrosia and nectar then most demigods, which he considers a talent, but still can't take in very much. Everyone knows you explode when you take in too much.

Something most people don't know about Hale is that he is a good snowboarder. He loves the snow and his old home used to be in the mountains where there was year round snow. He shreds like professionals, and doesn't wait for anyone on the slopes.
Weapons: His bow and arrows are all he needs. His bow turns into a backpack, and his arrows turn into an iPod.

Other: Hale tries to run away, but he isn't quiet, so he always gets caught. He owns a cellphone that know one knows about, but hardly uses it.

Nickname/s: Cassie doesn't have any nicknames, because she prefers to go by Cassie.
Name Meaning: Cassie is a Greek name meaning she who entangles men.
Namesake: Cassie's father picked the name for her because of the entangles part, which reminded him of plants. (Mainly vines)

Brief History:
Cassie was born in 1996 to Mortimer Krest and Demeter, goddess of the Harvest. She always had a way with nature, and only grew during the Spring, which happened to be when Cassie was born. (May 1st). As Cassie grew, she started to discover her particularly above average green thumb, and decided to ask her father how he was with plants. Her father's reply was a chuckle, and a "I'm not an expert, I'll tell you that." Cassie was confused by this statement, because she doubted she just got "lucky." Cassie, being known for giving everything her all, yearned to know more about her mother. That's why, on her tenth birthday, Mortimer gave her a single book, which changed Cassie's life forever. The book was titled, "Demeter: You Think You Have a Green Thumb?" Cassie felt such a strong connection to the book, that she slept with it under her pillow. She had the whole thing memorized in a month.

The next year, Cassie started to figure things out in her head. Demeter often had children with mortals. Mortimer never mentioned Mrs. Krest. AND, Mr. Krest had been the one to give Cassie the Demeter book. It all lead to one thing, Cassie's mom had to be Demeter. After another year of having everything worked out in her head, Cassie bid her dorm room goodbye and told her father where she was going. Mortimer smiled, years of wisdom behind his deep, blue eyes, and encouraged Cassie's decision. "I knew you were a smart one, Cassie. You'll do just fine." Cassie basically just had to jump into the street of the college roads, surrounded by tons of people, and scream, "My mommy's Demeter!"

That got the god's attention, and they transported Cassie to camp, where she got settled, and stayed to herself for a while. After she got more used to camp, she started to make more friends, but she was still a loner, for the most part. Just recently, she met a boy named Griffin. Griffin helped Cassie with Spanish in the library, but Cassie started to feel differently about Griffin. She asked him what he was doing later, and soon, they were going on a boat ride. Cassie, being hopeless when it comes to romance, doesn't realize that she has a small, but budding, crush on the son of Ponos.

Physical Appearance:
Cassie stands at about 5’4” in height. She’s of average weight for her height. Not too big but not too small. She has thin, round shoulders with short arms and small, child-like hands. Cassie has a longer torso and shorter limbs, which she often despises. Unlike those models in magazines, Cassie does not have mile long legs. She simply has normal legs, nothing too special. Cassie has a thin, slightly unshapely figure. However, she is still quite lovely. Cassie’s skin is pale and pure like porcelain. With hardly any blemish, her skin is often the thing that people notice about her. She has slightly chubby cheeks with soft cheek bones, a cleft chin, and a round, petite button nose.

Cassie’s hair cascades in waves and curls down her shoulders. It reaches a bit past her shoulder blades and collar bone. Her hair is red in color with hints of blond and brown. She has long, roughly cut bangs that cover her forehead. Her bangs are the only straight part of her hair. They often cover her eyes, especially when she is upset.

Cassie’s eyes are large, round and innocent, like a child’s. They seem to peer into your soul. Her irises are a dull blue in color with hints of silver around the pupil. Her eyes are framed by thick, light lashes that are often covered with mascara. Cassie has rather tweezed, red eyebrows that are artificially arched.

Cassie tends to wear rather “pretty” clothing. She enjoys dresses, puffy sleeves, flowing shirts, and jewelry. She doesn’t really do her hair much. The only thing she may put in it is her plain, gray head band. Cassie enjoys eccentric clothing. She likes appearing as though she just stepped out of Wonderland. Her favorite color to wear is a pastel blue. She says it brings out her eyes.


Personality: Cassie is an overachiever, and she likes to give everything her all. In school, she attended college level, special attention classes, because her father was a professor, and she learned how you needed to always be ahead of the game. Because of this, she always likes to give everything 110%. You won't find Cassie slacking off.

Cassie is a natural born leader. While she has no intentions of running for Cabin Leader, her brother Cody does a more than fine job of that, she does like to be depended on, and she is a very dependable and trustworthy leader. She is the kind of girl college kids would use as a "diary," so to speak. They told her things when they had no one else to turn to, and they simply expected her to keep things to herself. Luckily, she did, because when it comes to those kinds of things, Cassie is very serious.

Still, Cassie is fun-loving, and loves to let go every once in a while. She is a naturally funny girl, and has a very sarcastic sense of humor. She uses sarcasm whenever she's angry because it's a stress reliever. She feels more relaxed when she can just joke about things. She doesn't think pranks are funny, though, and she prefers kind jokes over rude, naughty ones.
Fatal Flaw: Cassie doesn't know what to do when she has a bunch of emotions built up. She can deal with other peoples feelings, but hers are a mystery to her. It's hard to deal with.

Pets: None, Mortimer didn't like animals in person.

Demigod Talents: ~Cassie can make almost anything grow, but she has limits when it comes to people.
~She only grows during the Spring, which explains why she's so small.
~Cassie has acute senses, mostly having good hearing.
~She can zero in on an object she's aiming for.
Weapons: Cassie has a very simple Celestial Bronze sword with no name. It turns into a watering can, but it normally stays in the Demeter Cabin, unless during battle. She owns no shield, and knows it is dangerous.

Other: Cassie has been made for Angel's Parker, so she isn't open for dibs. Sorry she's no Jaycee, Angel. Jaycee's information got deleted.
