Just like his previous date, the time flew by and it was time for Lukas to meet his new partner. Looking at Veronica one more time, he nodded. "I'm sure I can figure something out." The dolt in him even decided to wink at Veronica, before he stood up and excused himself from Veronica's table. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Veronica. I hope we can talk soon." And soon enough, he was off to find his new date.

Wadsworth pointed towards the next table, a lovely looking brunette sitting waiting for him. Lukas approached her with a wide smile, taking in her appearance. She was certainly a cutie, "Miss Parks?" He said, standing on the other side of the table. Lukas gave her a grin, "My name is Lukas Jackson and I'm here to entertain you for the next fifteen minutes." Lukas sat down.

Let the date begin.

"A goat?" Krista laughed. That certainly seemed like a fun experience - Krista imagined a goat running rampant in a somewhat rundown hotel with people chasing after it unsuccessfully and she couldn't help but let out a giggle at the funny sight. "Strangely enough, that story has just made me hungry."

Poor goat.

Krista waved off Christian with a smile, and a polite thank you before she played with her thumbs. Christian seemed like a free spirit, someone that didn't want to be tied down in one place for long and that was what Krista hopes to be soon. Looking up as her next date approached, she smiled warmly again.

"Hi, I'm Krista Hale!" The past dates went great, and it was obviously impacting her mood. "I'm a high school teacher. I teach biology to the students that care - or don't, I still talk at them anyway whether they like it or not." She then let out a nervous laugh. She didn't want to make him think that she was a chatterbox when she clearly was not.

"So, tell me something about yourself?"

Psychology

Calculating * Selfish * Adaptable * Impatient

Sexuality:

No preference

Relationship Status:

Separated Single

Personality:

To Davina, nothing is more important than herself and her own survival. Fuck everyone else, she believes despite sticking with groups. She's thick-skinned, adapts easily because she knows nothing that she likes lasts for long - especially during the apocalypse. Call her a greedy bitch, Davina will laugh. In this world, being a bitch is what keeps Davina alive and kicking.

She can read people like open books, especially those that are stupid enough to roam around with their heart on their sleeve. She has no respect for those types - a waste of space and supplies to end up dying because they were too nice. I could lie here and say that Davina is a good, loyal team player but the truth is that most of the time she's only around because she knows she can get the shit she wants without risking her neck to get it. There is a certain charm to Davina, somthing she takes advantage of to try and gain other's sympathy and the reason she's kept in a group (well, until she's either kicked out, separated, or her group dies).

Beneath her cold, selfish exterior lies Ivana Balashova, the child that had nothing to call her own - that had no choice but to grow up too soon in a kill or be killed world. It's strange, but whenever Davina is in the presence of children, her personality completely shifts - still a bitch, but not has harsh as she would usually be. As if she were a really bad mother...

Habits:

Biting nails
Licking her lips when she wants something

Hobbies:

Does conning people count?

Fears:

• Turning out like her parents
• Rejection

Likes:

• Her car
• Money
• Things going her way
• Surviving
• Tea and other comforting drinks

Dislikes:

• Her parents
• Any form of addiction
• Rain
• Overly sweet foods
• Feeling too hot
• Being reminded of her past

History

Your First Walker Encounter:

Ever since the broadcast and mass hysteria, Davina stuck to the inside of her car - driving on the countryside to avoid the crowds from the cramped city. She looted any corner store or home she could find on her fucked-up road trip, being lucky enough to find a hammer in one of the homes she'd raided as her only means of defence. Really, her first experience was a dumb move on her part - who exactly leaves the uncomfortable yet safe car to check up on a body simply lying on the middle of the road?

To this day, Davina swears that she thought she could loot the poor bastard, but as soon as she approached the body, it tried clawing at her leg to bring her down with it. Davina had no choice but to kick the ass in his disgusting, rotted face before hurrying to her car. The fucker was still trying to come after her despite being kicked, so Davina did what any hysterical woman would do to the first zombie they saw.

Bash their head in with a hammer.

History Before Outbreak:

Jonathan Nicholson and Anastasia Balashova met in a casino. It wasn't a romantic union, just two greedy people getting together to earn more money together. It was a partnership, Anastasia used her beauty while Jonathan worked from the shadows, the pair a deadly duo when it came to the world of gambling. There was no room for a child in this toxic mix of drugs, sex and money.

To be fair, Ivana wasn't even a planned baby. She just came; red faced and chubby-cheeked to come ruin the duo's quest for more money. Hell, no one is entirely sure that Ivana was even Jonathan's kid - which is the reason the two gave her Anastasia's surname to go by. Ivana didn't have much of a childhood - she was homeschooled whenever Jon or Ana remembered to, and they lived in the old Chevy rather than a home like any other normal family. Survival was something Ivana had to be prepared for from day one; to get her own food and avoid her father's drunken rages or mother's "secret" escapades with other men.

Ivana wasn't loved, and she was raised knowing that. She was either just a pawn to further some of her parent's conning plots, or she was simply there in the shadows to be used for some other day like an unwanted toy. At the age of sixteen, Ivana finally snapped after a particular incident - causing the young teen to steal the Chevy and run away from home. For the next two years, she laid low, surviving on stolen grocery items for the few years until Ivana -- now known as Davina -- was introduced to the world of scams and conning.

Davina found herself skilled as a people-person the more she practiced the art of charming people out of their money; she was able to read people and manipulate emotions to suit her benefit which actually worked for her until she met him... He's another part of her life that she keeps in the hush hush, something she would never admit to anyone even on her death bed. Doesn't matter anyway because two years after him came the end of the world.

History Since Outbreak:

Despite Davina's people skills, there was zero chance for her to survive the apocalypse. She barely knew how to fight, didn't know shit about medicine nor was she some lucky bitch to have a stocked pantry filled with weapons, food and little things for survival.

Well, actually she did have a chance. And that came in the form of the Russian ballerina Tatiana Korvo. Davina and Tatiana had worked together during one of Davina's more... ambitious plots that lead to one of the most successful runs ever. Davina briefly knew some of Tati's history, enough to know that the ballerina was not just a pretty dancer, but able to survive in such conditions as if she'd been prepared for it her entire life. And that was reason enough for Davina to begin searching Vegas in hopes of the dancer.

Really, what were the odds that she would find exactly who she was looking for in the appointed city safe zone? Either way, it seemed that Lady Luck either had something worse for Davina down the line, or that she was actually lucky for once in her life. The two teamed up once more, Davina's people skills enough to help her charm their way into a formed group and Tatiana's survival skills enough to keep them alive till they found their next group.

They took their chances and travelled across the east towards the other side of America in Davina's chevvy in hopes to find a newer, better safe zone.

^{FRIDAY
8:00AM}

"Miss Katona, yes — there's no need for you to come in today. We've noticed your hard work these past couple months and we've seen the improvements in the students' grades and attitudes to learning."

Valentina waited with a bated breath for the but, her phone pressed against her ear as she paced around her bedroom nervously. Was she slipping? So soon? She'd joined the team just over two months ago — surely she couldn't have screwed up so soon! That morning had started off simple enough. She woke up, cuddled her dog, made herself some of her usual breakfast and even got half-way ready (by that, just finished putting on her work clothes) before the call from her boss came.

"We believe its fair to let you off for a week. But only for a week and this one time. We trust that you will not bring our school any problems when you're on your vacation." The voice of the principal sent shivers down her spine. She was not one to be messed with; a strict lady with even stricter rules to follow - whether you were staff or student, it didn't matter. Valentina didn't want to get on her bad side, so she didn't push her luck and ask for vacation more than once.

"Yes— yes, Mrs Payne, I assure you nothing of that sort will happen." It was short, but it seemed that it was all Mrs Payne needed as she humphed from the other side, muttering a enjoy your holiday before hanging up the phone. Valentina waited for the dial tone to fill her ears before she pulled her phone away, excitedly tossing it over onto her bed before grabbing her luggage that was tucked under the table - already packed and ready to go for the past couple days. She dragged the case out, checking that it was properly locked and packed before dashing off into the ensuite to change out of her work clothes and into her airport attire.

If she wanted to get there on time, Valentina knew she had to leave and fast. It would be a pain enough to try and get her ticket changed for an earlier flight - the exact flight her friends were all going to be on and given her luck she knew she was going to probably make it the very last second. Valentina decided not to text Chloe, wanting to keep it a surprise for her and the group of her early arrival.

After getting dressed, Valentina was out of her house faster than the Road Runner escaping the Wile E. Coyote and his elaborate schemes. She'd called the petsitter, a lovely girl by the name of Geo that was willing to pick little Gemma up from her home and take care of the Corgi pup till Valentina's return. Before leaving, Valentina had given herself five minutes to simply cuddle up her pet before feeding her and providing with enough water to last till the petsitter could pick her up.

She arrived at the airport fifty-five minutes later, including traffic (which was what Valentina expected anyway; the airport was just an extra twenty past the elementary school she worked at). Dragging the suitcase behind her, she queued up impatiently, checking her ticket and passport as the line to the check-in lady grew longer and longer behind Valentina.

Her original flight was supposed to be at five this afternoon, giving her enough time to leave the school at 3PM to arrive at the airport and check in for her flight. But now with the sudden change in plans, she could only hope there was still one more seat available with her friends on the flight, and if not Valentina was sure that she was just going to wait till her five o'clock flight instead.

The line moved slowly, time inching closer and closer to boarding time that it worried Valentina. She was eventually the first in line, being called upon fifteen minutes later for check in. It took some haggling, but the lady — Tanya, according to the badge — behind the counter eventually found a seat for Valentina to nab for herself. She thanked Tanya profusely, handing over her suitcase before dashing to security with her new ticket held tightly in her hand.

Eventually she was cleared and allowed to board the flight. Excitement bubbled up in her as she approached the gate to find her friends. Val found them inside the VIP waiting room, all of them standing around (except for her, obviously) and seemingly having a good time. It seemed that Valentina had somehow managed to make it to the airport on time — she thanked Lady Luck one last time before walking into the waiting room with a grin.

"Hey guys!" Val greeted every single one of them. "Didn't expect to see me so soon, didja?"

^{INTERACTING WITH: EACH OTHER
LOCATION: AN ALLEY IN NEWNAN}

---

---

The entire situation was a mess. He'd been stationed at the entrance with Kris, to allow in the Newnan folks that were injured due to the invasion or the damn zombnado that rolled around town not long ago. Sidd kept his eyes peeled for each face that passed by, nodding as he recognised most of them even if he didn't know them persay.

He pointed at the door, the crowd following the direction into the infirmary before all hell broke loose. Maria - Kris' sister - was being guided back inside with the help of Zoie with a bleeding arm bound with a belt. He could only guess that something went wrong and she had been bitten while outside. He followed behind Kris, hestitantly shutting the door and just praying that no one else would need the infirmary or to enter while they were gone.

Sidd didn't know Maria as well as Meg knew her. He was the recluse, the hermit while she was the one that made friends and could spend hours talking about anything and everything. He shut the door behind them as they entered the infirmary once more only to have Maria barking at the redneck biker guy. He was of no help; again and he was glad that Froggy had sent him back out to keep guard. If Kris couldn't do it, at least he could be of some use to Newnan. He scurried back out, just as silently and winced as the muffled cries of agony filled the court room. He grabbed the baseball bat that was lying against the wall of the room, picking it up in case some of the unwanted idiots decided to try entering the court.

He swung the bat and hit a straggler walker that had somehow managed to crawl into the courthouse during their disappearance. His upperbody strength wasn't high, certainly, but adrenaline was such a strange and useful hormone in situations like these. Part of him couldn't believe such mayham lasted only a day. Not even that; just that morning everyone was safe and alive. Vivian, Alicia, Leann - so many losses, and countless more he didn't even know about. Today was a day of great loss, and he wondered that if Newnan didn't have helpful newbies like Zoie or the doctor inside - Froggy? - would they have even lasted this long? He'd stood by Ms Sally, later approached by Zoie soon enough.

He stood quietly, listening but fiddling with the bat in his hand. What could he have said in a conversation he was not a part of anyway? His mind wandered back to Meg again. Was she safe? Was she even still alive? Sidd had seen her in passing before she'd gone for the mission with Caesar, and then again with Ash. Both times she refused to talk, second time she didn't even know he was around. Was that how things were going to be? If she was dead, was the last time they talked going to be his last memory of her?

Speaking of Meg, Ash was finally inside the courthouse - so Newnan still had their leader for now. Ash's mention of Meg to Zoie was what calmed the twin a little. His confirmation that Meg was still alive and kicking. Seeing people act a lot calmer, Siddharth could only guess that Hell was finally over and Newnan was (partially) safe again. Or safe enough for him to look for her.

After looking throughout the death ridden town, Sidd eventually found his twin leaning against the wall in an alley, her head in her hands pushed between her knees. Sidd noted how she was curling in on herself, as if to hide herself from everyone else and to pretend she never existed. It was a form he recognised all too well. Saying nothing (really, it seemed like that was all he was good for), Sidd crouched beside her, his arm pressed against her so she could know exactly who it was.

It was a strange feeling, being a twin. He could simply sit beside her quietly and she'd just know it was him. It wouldn't take a word, not even a touch for Meg to know it was family right beside her.

"I watched him get bit." Came her muffled voice. Sidd looked over his shoulder at her dark hair without any words, just letting her talk it out. "Caesar. He helped me and got bit because of it. I saw Leann go down too. Shot. Right in front of me."

"It's not your fault, you couldn't do anything-"

"Really? Maybe not for Leann, but I could've helped Lorna or Caesar. I- I could've been more vigilant o-or less useless."

"You did all you could."

"I really haven't. I was out of my depth. I was supposed to be a driver, it was a simple task - but some asshat decided to shoot the tyres and force us to walk to the armoury. We lost so many because of him. And then Zoie decided to use herself as a distraction-- who would do that for people you don't know?" Meg looked up, running her shaky hand over her tangled, dirty hair and pulling the strands away from her face.

"It's over now, Noni. They were able to drive out the walkers and kill the intruders. We have one of them held hostage so we can find out whose idea it was to come here." Siddharth assured his sister, who didn't look very assured.

"Noni? Wow, I haven't heard that in a while." Meg let out an unimpressed snort, Sidd letting out a laugh in response.

"Well, you're still Noni to me."

Meghna's face fell again, and she looked away in the direction of a pebble not too far off from the two of them. "Why do you keep trying?" She asked. "Dad stopped trying, hell he didn't try in the first place, so why're you still trying to keep a relationship with me?"

"You're my sister," was the immediate response. Siddharth didn't think nor hesitate. "My twin. I won't give up on you. We're blood, Noni, and that's all we have in this godforsaken world."

There was a pause from both sides, before Siddharth cleared his throat and said the words that melted the hatred surrounding Meghna's heart.

"I'm here for you, Meghna, I always have been and I always will be."

Olympus Academy for the Demigods[High Casual, Slice-of-Life Roleplay]

Mariana Dixon, Daughter of Apollo

Name:

Mariana Hayley Dixon

Nickname:

Mari works, but she prefers Mariana - why butcher such a beautiful name?
There isn't much reason to, but Hayley does work as a nickname - though Mariana only hears it when she's being scolded by her grandmother.

Birth Date:

4^th September

Age:

19

Gender:

Female

Sexuality:

Heterosexual (possibly bi-curious)

In Depth Appearance:

Mariana stands at the average height of 1.71m (5'6") with creamy skin, rosy cheeks dotted with freckles across her forehead and upper arms. While lean, her body has a slight hour glass figure; sporting a small waist against her wider hips. The delicate curves are marred with stretch marks across her thighs and arms, something Mariana tries to cover up carefully with the help of appropriate clothes. She has no tattoos or permanent scars otherwise, leaving the rest of her skin a fair shade.

Her eyebrows catch the attention of many when one looks at her; rather than it being thin or delicately shaped like you'd expect from seeing women in magazines, they're thick and full with barely an arch framing her almond shaped eyes. Her eyes are a mix between a light brown, hazel and green - some would argue that it's a light brown while others would call her eyes green - it all depends on the lighting of the room. Her hair is somewhat frizzy and untamed, falling past her chest in messy, tangled waves. Her hair is of a brown shade, with hints of natural blonde highlights to add depth to the messy locks.

Despite being someone who tries to keep her appearance as neat and well put together as possible; her hair always tends to mess up the plans. Unless she straightens it (and who has time for that every morning?) or tied up into a bun or ponytail, there isn't much Mariana can do to tame her hair.

Clothing Style:

Mariana is a true Virgo. Born under the meticulous star-sign, Mariana pays careful attention to each clothing she wears. Nothing has dust, fur or is wrinkled. While it's not obsessive - if she or her clothes get dirty over the course of the day, she won't freak out as much as long as her clothing is salvagable. Mariana definitely likes to be pampered and prefers the branded clothing (possibly the materialistic side of her unfortunately inherited from her mother), Mariana sticks to swearing the comfortable and cheap threads.

The type of clothes, however, varies on her mood. While she doesn't have a huge closet filled to the brim with outfits, she does have enough to keep her well presentable no matter the occasion. Dresses, skirts, shorts, jeans - anything works well with Mariana as long as they're comfortable to wear (and practical too - you definitely won't see Mariana walking around in booty shorts in winter - though, power to the girls that do!) Her footwear is kept to the bare minimum; she only owns one pair of heels (nude pumps that match with everything, along with a couple flats and two old pairs of converses.

Make-up wise, Mariana keeps it simple. Why waste money on buying ten lipstick tubes of all the same colours? Concealer, some eye liner and maybe a swipe of tinted lip-balm to add a hint of colour to her already pale skin.

Quirks/Oddities/Habits

⛭ A common habit amongst many, but Mariana bites her lips and/or nails when she's nervous.
⛭ Mariana has the terrible habit of staying up much later than she should, even if she has to wake up early the following morning. You're more likely to get your room rearranged at 4AM than have her sound asleep in bed (unless she's completely knocked out from lack of sleep anyway, or with the help of sleeping pills).
⛭ Similar to the above point, Mariana likes to keep busy; whether this is in the form of procrastination (rearranging the bedroom like three times) or actually studying, it doesn't matter. Mariana even overworks herself in this state simply because she hates sitting idly.
⛭ Since childhood, Mariana has a habit of having porridge with a layer of Nutella and chopped bananas on top. The sweet, fattening topping is one way to keep her in a good mood for the rest of the day. That, and coffee.

Likes & Dislikes

✔ Swimming - Mariana enjoys swimming as a hobby, a way to work off anxiety or to shed the pounds she gains from her breakfast.
✔ Chocolate - if it wasn't obvious, Mariana loves chocolate. Bonus if it's milk or white chocolate though, as dark is a bit too bitter for her liking.
✔ The sound of rain hitting the window (especially if its a thunderstorm; the sound is comforting to her)
✔ Animals - Mariana is a huge animal lover, especially if it involves dogs
✔ Succeeding in whatever she's tasked to do (even if its not perfect)
✔ Stayng up to read creepy stuff or watch horror films. It's a guilty pleasure.

✘ Materialistic people (ironically)
✘ Having to repeat herself - or other people repeating themselves constantly
✘ Broccolis and cauliflowers - they just don't look or taste very appealing
✘ The strong smell of perfumes or industrial strength cleaning products
✘ Not being to help anyone out/not being useful

Fears:

⛤ Anything with more than four limbs; or basically the spider.
⛤ Fire - There's no traumatic reason behind this fear, but the nature of it frightens her. The uncontrollable and distructive nature of a flame, to be exact.
⛤ Being watched without her knowledge - This is more of an odd paranoia more than anything. You can blame the horror movies and freaky shit she reads on the internet at 4AM

Personality:

♦ Materialistic ♦ Goal-orientated ♦ Honest ♦ Social Butterfly ♦

There is not a single way to easily describe Mariana Dixon. She's a walking contradiction - but honestly who isn't? To some, Mariana can be sweet and a charm but to others she could be cool and uninterested. In some instances Mariana is an extrovert; happily chatting with people in groups and gladly basking in the attention while others she'd like nothing more to hide herself in her room for her own "me" time.

To keep it simple, Mariana enjoys social interactions. She's a friendly individual and strives to help people with their situation (whether it be as simple as a bad mood or complex like personal problems, Mariana will definitely try to help). She's altruistic; someone who is always concerned for the well being of her loved ones. There is no one clique you could put her in in high school; she would blend into the crowd and often interact with different people each day. However, this meant that while Mariana had multiple friends, she never had any close ones - people that she could trust with her secrets like people would do to her. She didn't mind though; her habit of bottling up negative emotions aiding her in this situation.

Whether it's a trait she's inherited from her father; Mariana will never know. She's brutally honest and appreciates the same honesty in return. She finds it pointless to lie, even if it's a simple one because she believes that it means you don't trust them. To sensitive people, she may actively try to sugar-coat her words, but her words are still the truth.

Mariana is also quite stubborn as she is goal-orientated. If she's given a task, Mariana will try her absolute hardest to accomplish it and will often stubbornly sit there trying to figure out the solution without asking for anyone else's aid. Her need to be independent forces her to not reach out to people when she requires help, a trait that Mariana knows is bad and is actively working on it by being more open to others.

Just like her father; Mariana is cursed when it comes to her love life. Sure, she's had far and plenty amorous relationships for her age but none of them have stuck. Whether it be because of her personality, insecurities or whether her partner had been unfaithful or simply lost interest in her, it seems that Mariana just won't be able to stick to one relationship for long before something going wrong. Plus, Mariana isn't much of a believer in love anyway; it's all just chemical processes in the brain to trigger affection and softness for others according to her.

Mariana (as mentioned before) hates materialistic people. It's a trait that she's not fond of as it bitterly reminds her of her absent mother. However, the irony is that Mariana is still materialistic herself. She loves branded clothes, the expensive items just for the sake of having them - it's a guilty pleasure of hers to own items she can showcase but her disciplined nature (and the not-so-affluent background) keeps her wants in check.

She also wants to impress Apollo. Most of what she does, she does with the intention to impress her father as well as to help others. After finding out who her father was, Mariana hopes to keep him in her life by becoming someone to be proud of - someone he can say with his chin held up high that Mariana is his daughter. This insecurity can also showcase in her relationships - she'll often try to impress them in hopes they'll think she's worthy enough to keep around.

Background:

For as long as Mariana could remember, it had been just her and her grandparents. Her mother was three states away burning through the little money she has while no one would tell her who her biological father was. One year they'd claim he was working abroad, then they'd claim he was dead - but they would never tell her who he was.

Mariana was born on a dark, cool September night to Samantha Dixon. Samantha was a young college drop out, living with her room-mates in a cheap trailer home and working at a diner to pay for the expensive clothes, booze and jewellery Samantha wanted. All Mariana knew about her mother was that she was irresponsible - the story that her grandparents have stuck to since the age of fourteen - and slept with a stranger in a drunken stupor. Either way, Mariana was barely three weeks old before she was swept away by her grandparents to live with them in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In the nineteen years she's been alive on this Earth, she's only seen her mother twice since moving in with her grandparents. The last time being when she was turning seven. Mariana doesn't hold much animosity towards her mother - she doesn't feel anything. Instead, she imagines that she has no mother and simply enjoys her life with her ageing grandparents. Despite the tensions between her and her parent, Mariana never felt the lack of love from her family.

Her grandparents were a big influence on her when growing up. Her grandfather (Papa) was a retired Army general, living with his wife (Nona) that was a retired florist in a modest home in the suburbs of the city. The locality was good for families, giving Mariana ample friends growing up (even if not many stuck by the time she was in High school). Her childhood friends even nicknamed her "sunshine" due to her ability to lift people's moods and doctoring some that would get minor injuries while playing. These tells weren't obvious; the healing didn't happen over night but it was enough for her grandparents to figure something out.

Their suspicions were confirmed years later during Mariana's graduation from high school. Mariana has always been an average student, if not above. With her dream to become a doctor, encouraged by her grandfather regularly, education was a priority (and still is) to Mariana so by the time she graduated with a 3.9 GPA, she was sure that they were proud. However, a visit from a man that looked eerily similar to her changed her world completely. Apollo approached his daughter that day, confirming their suspicions that their daughter wasn't entirely normal.

The following summer was spent by father and daughter bonding together. They watched movies, talked about Mariana's childhood and attempted spend as much time as they could together to make up for the lost years. Mariana was taught the basics about her ability; to heal and to affect others' moods - even prediction (even if that area needed some a lot of work). It was the summer she turned eighteen that she was enrolled into Olympus Academy, the school for demi-gods and goddesses to learn and control their abilities.

That was a year ago, and Mariana is still trying to adjust to her new life as a demi-goddess with the help of her father and the student/faculty members of Olympus Academy.

Extra:

Hmmmmm Athena maybe?

Godly Parent:

Apollo, God of Truth, Prophecy and Healing

Relationship With Godly Parent:

Mariana's relationship with Apollo is still relatively new; she'd only found out about her Godly heritage about a year ago. They're still trying to work out the kinks in their relationship, figuring to boundaries and catching up on the long, missed years. Mariana hopes that Apollo is proud of her thus far, each action as an attempt to impress him.

Godly Abilities:

Doctor, Doctor

As expected of the daughter of the God of Healing, Mariana makes quite the doctor. The best way to describe her power is to say that she has some variation of the magical healing touch. This power is quite limited, however. Most she can do currently is heal bruises and scrapes; anything that requires an actual qualified doctor means that she won't be able to help out.

Uplift your spirits

To Mariana, the sunlight acts more as a metaphor to describe her personality (and thus this power as well). She's bright and cheerful, yes, but this sort of behaviour is almost described as infectious. She can help improve moods subconsciously; whether to help calm a scared child or to make a crying adult smile - it all works for Mariana. For the most part anyway. She cannot permanently help improve someone's moods, and someone can build up immunity to this the longer someone stays in her presence (though this can take up to a year, depending on how often you see Mariana).

I predict...

Mariana can, to a certain extent, some events. Most of the time they're small predictions; nothing too life changing and this power is used rarely. Mariana cannot control this power, meaning that she cannot predict events for people she wants to. Out of the three abilities she's got, her prediction skills are definitely the weakest.
