Appearance
Although biologically part greek, Jamie's Irish ancestry is obviously more prevalent in her features. Hence her vibrant light auburn hair, thin and wavy that flows all the way to her chest, or at times tied to a messy bun . The specks of freckles on her cheeks, shoulders and nose, sprinkling over her rosy/sun kissed complexion, and a pair of bright green eyes. Evidently, she's pretty tall with quite a slender to fit fame and just an inch shy of 6 feet.
Jamie's fashion preference is fairly straightforward, yet still fashionable in a way. Her personal wardrobe consists of simple fitted shirts or crops. At times she'd wear a blouse, a pair of worn out jeans and sneakers. Additionally she'd wear jackets ranging from corduroy's, cardigans, flannels donned over her shirts, polos.
Personality
Cordial + Expressive + Easy Going + Clumsy + Lazy + Preoccupied
Count on Jamie to bring over the brightness in an otherwise dark and sad room, both in the literal and figurative sense. She can literally start a fire in a building, and maybe a gentle one in your heart, if you let her (wink wink). She is kind and friendly in nature, although doesn't usually associate herself with a fixed group of friends, as she is the type to jump from one band to another like a literal social butterfly and generally just like to interact and get to know people and their business. Though some people consider this endearing, other may find it annoying. Though energetic to a fault, Jamie is prone to oversleeping til late in the day and oftentimes she'll be missing classes and errands that she didn't forget otherwise. Being the daughter of Olympus' resident fire god and smithy, she has that natural affinity to fire, and also has the ability to manipulate it into making something pretty out of it; mainly her sculptures.
Jamie at times can be a klutz in some aspects of socializing. Like in a conversation, she has the tendency to swerve off trail from the point, and is quite susceptible to misinterpretations. Some, or most of it will end up just flying over her head, which may or may not help in that given case but mostly expect some forthcoming awkwardness. Aside from that, she always seem to lose and or misplace small everyday things such as, her tools, keys, phone, names of people she just apparently met. And she'd be pausing in the middle of a conversation or activity and trying to recall what she was actually doing, talking about, which may happen ever so often.
History
Jamie was born in Ireland to a young artist. A carefree and free spirit back then, Eleanor, her mother, caught the interest and later on developed a relationship with a man who apparently is Jamie's biological father. The relationship was a quick one after Eleanor called it off, for reasons, that Eleanor wasn't ready to commit to him, specifically, no matter how much she seem to love him.
Though a few weeks later, she found out she was with child, distraught and afraid of the responsibility that she was carrying from then on out. After Jamie was born and Eleanor carried the baby in her arms, and learned to accept her fate, vowing to love and cherish her every step of the way. They settled down at a small home in the countryside, where Eleanor worked from home up until Jamie was old enough to attend grade school. Jamie's own artistic passion developed at a young age, recalling the moment her mother's new boyfriend, who was both an artist and a carpenter, thought her how to whittle. She showed great ability that her mother, and later on step father, encouraged her to develop her gifts.
Probably unlike the other normal kids, Jamie had one hell of a summer camp experience when she was 10. It was the first time her affinity to fire manifested, albeit innocently at first then abruptly went to shit.
It went roughly like this;
Ten year old Jamie loved doing crafts. She was enthusiastic about it, albeit overly, sharing her water bottle flower sculpture in front of the other kids. She finds out she can make it glow(!) if she thinks about it hard enough. Everyone was impressed, but Ten year old Jamie got so into it, and ended almost accidentally burning the whole common room area that day. Fortunately No one got hurt at the incident except maybe, for that poor water bottle flower.
After the incident, her parents strictly concealed her ability, and mostly to keep her away from anywhere she might possibly cause harm to even if unintentionally. But when she got older, it was becoming too challenging to resist her calling. Her mother then decided to make an important phonecall to the one man who she knows could only help. At fourteen, Jamie met her real father for the first time, also known as Hephaestus, the Olympian god of fire and smithing. Their meeting, surprisingly, was met with bear hugs and kisses, and overall in the following years, they shared a good mentor-student relationship. It's because of him that she became well knowledgeable at her craft, the art of metalcrafting and how to smoothly incorporate both fire in her art form.
`
Her parents thought it would help greatly if Jamie was sent off to Olympus Academy, where she could practice her abilities safely and out of danger to others, which she spent her life the next five years, honing her craft and jut generally living however she likes.

Relationship With Godly Parent
Jamie and her biological dad share a rather warm hearted relationship, mostly leaning towards the mentor and student rather than father and daughter. Hephaestus, a big hulk of a man is kind and peace loving by nature. Unlike her mother, he's pretty lax and is not one to limit Jamie's wants and dreams. Either he doesnt care or he genuinely wants her to be happy, never the less they share a same level of understanding when it comes to it. With the type of relationship they share, Jamie came to consider him more of a good friend rather than a paternal figure.
Demigod Abilities
Eternal Flame - Being the daughter of a fire god, Jamie can create and manipulate fire and anything that relates to it, all within the basis of using it for her talents. She could use fire to mould and incorporate it on her sculptures without actually putting damage to it. But that's not all, she could also use plain heat to burn anything (or anyone) with extreme intensity, strong enough to melt even the strongest of metals. All the more easier to mould things to her liking, she says. Though technically she has the ability to inflict damage upon anyone or anything, she is very much against using it on that purpose, unless she has too, or provoked to do so.
Sculpt me like one of your mortal girls - Unlike her father who does weapons, Jamie on the other hand does sculptures. Not really an inborn ability, but Jamie has the capability to work with metal, being one of her main mediums aside from good old fashioned wood and marble, she can skilfully smelt and form figures as representation of her imaginative mind. She has the eye and mind for art, and the passion to create it.
