She let a playful giggle escape her lips as Katherine's lips brush her ear. Imani could feel pleasant shivers travel down her core. It was like the other girl's voice caused the daughter of Aphrodite to lose herself in those words; her aggressive handling was only fueling the fire. If Imani could, she'd take Katherine by the hand and drag her to her cabin. Rip those imposing clothes and run her nails down her back. Bite down on that perfect curve of her neck, leave little marks all the way up her inner thighs, teasing Katherine until she couldn't hold back anymore. Until Imani couldn't take it anymore and bury her face in - keep it cool, Imani.
Imani licked her lips in anticipation, enjoying Katherine's hand on her jaw. She turned her head just enough to bite the other girl's thumb before pulling back. "You'd like that, wouldn't you?" She leaned down as her hand rubbed circled on her thighs and up to her hips teasingly slow. "But I think minx might be an understatement." Her fingers found the hem of Katherine's shirt, and a smirk played on her lips as her fingers teased the skin under the garment.
She looked up when she felt Issie practically bolt away; she turned her head, ready to tease after her. Then Chiron and Dionysus's voices rang over the whole pavilion. She could feel Katherine's arms tighten around her as the news of Erin poured out of the God of Wine's lips.
"Wha the fuc-" She stopped her protest as she watched her brother stood from his seat and hurried away towards the direction of the Big House.
Imani didn't know what else to say. Her mother had lost her precious Dove, and now Ares was blaming one of them? Did they really have to blame Erin? She pulled herself away from Katherine's arms to stand up. She didn't know what to think. Imani knew Erin wouldn't do that, but accusations always had some reason behind them. Right? She brought her hand up to the button of her dress, tugging at it as her mind continued to wonder. Imani didn't know the girl, but it was impossible for her to steal something like that. Then, there was his brother. She knew he would throw himself at a chance to put himself in danger to help Erin.
She brought her hands up to the side of her head to massage her temples. This was giving her a headache.

Elias glanced back one last time to watch Talon walk away. He took a deep breath and returned his attention to the front. The whispers around him had shifted from the scene with Talon to Erin's accusation by Ares. Even so, he turned to his sister, walking over with a worried look on his face. He was worried. Worried about his brother and what might happen. What he might do.
"Octavia, let Kalinda heal you." He approached his sister and the other girls trying to hold her back. He gave both Ky'vie and Kalinda and thankful smile before he turned to his sister again. "You know he didn't mean it." Elias continued, "he just needs to cool off. I'll talk to him after all of this-" He motioned to Chiron and Dionysus, "cools off."
He had his own doubts about the accusations, but there was no need to voice them. The whole camp was in agreement with Micheal's first words about the whole thing. It was bullshit. It wouldn't matter. Niesha was right. They didn't need proof like Valeria demanded. All Erin could do was use what the gods thought of her and use it against them. Show them once again that undermining a demigod was a mistake.
But calling them stupid. Everyone thought about it from time to time, sure. Even he did, but he wouldn't speak it out loud. "You wouldn't even have the guts to say that." He looked over at Carlos. Despite the weight of the situation, he shot him a teasing smirk. He knew that the other boy respected the gods and would never say such things as Valeria just had. Who knows. Carlos might grow tired of doing reckless shit and just straight up curse the gods and try his luck there.
It hurt to see Talon like this. So defensive and closed off. Elias knew he wouldn't get through his brother so easily but it still worried him. Having all that pent up anger wasn't one bit healthy for the mind. He understood that opening up to others, even family, was not something that could a person come by easily. Family. Elias hadn't know Talon's childhood. He practically knew nothing about his little brother, or any of his siblings.
The only one he really felt close to was Octavia. Brandon always seemed so intimidating, even for Elias. And Talon, Talon always acted like he didn't care. Like he was fine all the time. Still acting so stern and confident, and yet he couldn't even talk to Elias. He wouldn't.
"I do care, Talon." Elias kept his voice calm. He honestly did care for the younger boy. It wasn't until a few years ago that he finally found out he had more family aside from his mother and grandparents. The first few days at camp had been the best. He was just getting to know the rest of his siblings. Talon had always been his little brother, no matter how far it felt that Elias had to reach him.
Elias wasn't going to push it. Talon needed his space, especially after what Octavia had done to get him down from the tower. "I'll be here, T. No matter what you think, you are my family. Okay?" He knew it would take some convincing for Talon to realize that Elias wasn't lying. He didn't care about some stupid position to the cabin. He cared about Talon.
Now, a bit deflated, Elias turned around to finally acknowledge the other situation at hand. He hadn't caught what Dionysus or Chiron had announced but by the look and protests of the rest of the campers, he could tell it was nothing good.
Once upon a time, Elias was a misunderstood boy with a hearth of hot fire that would explode in his face. After his mother put him into much-needed therapy he was finally able to be himself fully. Now, Elias settles for nothing less than the best. He turned his bursts of anger and fiery tempter into what fuels him to push forward. He is passionate at the very end, putting all of his efforts into anything he sets his heart to. It's difficult for Elias to give up as his mind stays motivated with only the end goal in mind. While he could be a rather ambitious young man, his determination to power through drives him into impulsive decisions that often end up hurting him.
Elias's passion extends to his friends and family. While he may be too straightforward with others he always means go by it. He sees no reason to use exhaustive details and unnecessary nuances. Elias loves to spend time with his friends, often playing sports, practicing, or eating. His trust is easy to come by, and just as easy to break. His ability to hold grudges against those who have wronged him often see themselves melting under Elias's fiery gaze.

Sofia Schneider was a veteran from the Deutsches Heer. During her last year in service she met a man who shone brighter than any other she had ever seen. They clicked instantly. Both of them had a passion for history, war strategies, and she even introduced him to war strategy games. About a year later Sofia was pregnant with Elias. By then, she had slowly come to realise the man she had fallen for wasn't a normal human.
After Elias's birth, Sofia had moved into her family's home in Dresden where she raised Elias along with her grandparents. Since a young age, she thought him how to fend for himself and his friends, raising the young boy under her own principles. Always protect those you care about and never give up. The little Ares boy began to show promising results, that was until his mood swings began to show.
Around the age of 13, Elias would have extreme mood swings. He'd have periods of extreme productivity then crash as bad with depressive periods that would last months. With the help of his mother, Elias was able to seek the help he needed. Adding Bipolar Disorder along with ADHD and Dyslexia made Elias's childhood just a bit harder than other kids his age. Of course, being his mother's son Elias didn't let that stop him. He continued with his studies and began to play sports.
It wasn't until he turned 15 that Sofia and Elias moved to New York in the pretense of a new job. Just a month in living in the city when his mother told Elias was enough to know the truth about his father. Before that, Elias had always wondered but never brought it up. Whenever his mother tried to talk to him about his father he would ignore her or just walk away. Why would he want to hear of the man that had left his mother?
The truth hurt more than the idea of his father being some idiot that left them. Elias would have been happy not knowing who, or what, his father was. With resentment, Elias agreed to go to the camp.

Very much Aphrodite's daughter, Imani carries herself with such confidence that only her mother could outshine. Some may see this as arrogance while she sees it as pride. Pride in the woman she had come to be. Imani knows who she is. She is a strong confident young woman whose unyielding passion and determination to better herself overshadow anything else. Her strong will to be the best of the best is quite reminiscent of her father's attitude towards life, one of the attributes her mother loved so much about him.
When meeting Imani for the first time, she could be considered to be quite bitchy and conceded. Not everyone finds a woman that is so self-assured and comfortable with herself appealing. Especially boys. Through her initial impressions, Imani is an adventurous woman with passion and hunger for knowledge. She doesn't shy away from new experiences and enjoys exploring the outdoors.
To those she considers friends, Imani is a loyal woman who would go to extreme lengths to help those close to her. She's unforgiving to those that hurt her or her friends and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty for them. Imani's ability to give her everything to the people she deeply cares for shows how much she is willing to fight for them. Despite her fiery mouth, sarcastic lines, and piercing stares Imani just wants to be loved.
____________________________________________________________________________ B I O G R A P H Y
No one could resist one of the greatest actor in French history, not even the goddess of love. A year into a their relationship, the Du Beily family welcomed a beautiful baby that a few years later they would come to know as their daughter Imani.
The Du Baileys were a wealthy family, owning land all over Europe and the Americas. Imani's father, Beauregard Du Bailey was the second son of the head of the Du Bailey Corp head. It came to everyone's surprise when Beauregard introduced Imani to the family. Who would have thought that the playboy of the family would have accepted a child, a child he spiled to the stars and beyond.
Imani grew up with a golden spoon between her lips. Private schools, nannies, tutors, and the best cooks the Du Bailey name could buy. No matter how much she had, Imani was still somewhat unhappy. The reflection in the mirror didn't match the vision she had for herself. The short hair, the flat chest, the way her voice kept dropping. Her family supported her through it all. Her aunts took her shopping to the best boutiques in Paris while her uncles and father bought her all sorts of jewelry. Imani had her family's support, all except for one.
Her mother never once came to visit her. She'd often ask her father about the whereabouts of her mother but the actor never gave her a straight answer. He'd always told her that her mother was the most beautiful woman, just like Imani, that she was gentle, kind, and funny. None of that answered her questions. Who was she? What was her name? Did she not love her enough to stay with them?
Despite the growing doubt and curiosity, Imani continued to live with the weight of it all on her chest. A weight that would finally be too much for her. It had been a cold winter day. Imani was around 14 years old when she was walking home from a friend's house when a black car stopped next to her and pulled her inside. The men resulted in being enemies of the Du Bailey family and were after ransom money.
It only took a few hours for Imani to be back in the arms of her father and the rest of the family. The men had fallen in a sort of trance-like state and had followed Imani's order to return her home. Everyone had questions as to how Imani had managed to escape, all but her father. Beauregard knew how.
A week later Beauregard and Imani took a trip to America. There he told his daughter that he loved her so much and that she would meet her mother soon enough. Just like that, she was sent to Long Island to a camp. Since then Imani has been staying at the camp part-time, visiting France and her family over the summers.

Reserved | Cynical | Stubborn | Selfish | Cunning
Leonor is a poised young woman. She speaks when spoken to, does not butt in when it is not her place and keeps her opinions to herself. Her modesty and humbleness is praised by the court of Cordoba. The perfect woman, the perfect wife, the perfect princess. Leonor puts so much effort and time into acting and looking perfect that she has forgotten who she really is.
While she puts up a farce of the perfect daughter for her parents, Leonor could be a stubborn and fiery woman. She may keep her mouth shut in front of the court and her family, but in her mind, she is always judging everyone and everything. From their choice of fashion to the very morals a person holds. Leonor needs to be observant. What else is there to do when she's not allowed to talk?
B I O G R A P H Y ____________________________________________________________________________________
Born to Queen Marisol Soidina and King Arturo Soidina, Leonor was the second child of the royal crown of Cordoba. Named after her grandmother, Leonor was the middle child of three daughters. No boys. Since her conception, Leonor's father had thought she would be a male, the next heir to the throne- but much to his dissapointment, Leonor was born. Her life as the youngest was a short one, as the Queen conceived a few months after her birth. And so, the life as the middle child began.
Growing up, Leonor was often left to the nannies and nun for them to care for her. She rarely saw her mother, and even more so her father. She grew up around the priestess of the church while her elder sister stayed at the heels of their father and younger of their mother.
Forgotten. Leonor had been forgotten by her own family. She never resented her parents or her sister, as she knew nothing different. Everything about her life had been controlled since her birth. She wasn't able to leave the palace for weeks end, was only allowed to read religious tomes, and her education had been limited to that of a woman's. Basic reading, writing, and art.
When Leonor hit her teens, she began to sneak out of her bed chambers late at night and wonder the libraries of her home. She had gotten tired of reading about the Creator and all of his devoted wives and tired of reading the same stories over and over again. And so, she would sneak out and rummage through her father's library. She's spent hours in there and would often sneak out books. Books about other kingdoms, cultures, history, and politics. Little by little, her once closed-off world began to expand. Her interest in the outside world couldn't be satisfied with books after ten years.
During her 15th birthday, Leonor was now formally introduced to the Kingdom of Cordoba by both of her parents. It had been the first time the King had acknowledged Leonor. It was a turning point for her. He had finally taken notice of the perfect facade she had been building over the last few years. Since that date, Leonor was allowed to roam freely the palace's libraries and even had permission to venture out for longer periods.
The King's Perfect Daughter. That's what they used to call her, that was until her younger sister's 15th birthday. Sol, even more beautiful. Skilled in music, poetry, and art. She was able to charm every man in the court with just a simple smile and bow of her head.
Just like that, Leonor was left in the shadows again. A blessing in disguise.
Leonor didn't have the Queen breathing down her neck for her to practice the piano or the King pressuring her to learn military formations. No, those were her sister. Instead, Leonor was left to do whatever she pleased, as long as her actions were acceptable by the conservative social norms of Cordoba.
She never questioned those social norms. Never gave it much thought. She was raised like that and there was absolutely nothing she could do to change it. She was, after all, just a woman. A Princess nonetheless, she had to set an example for the other women in the court and the Kingdom. Marry a man, have his children, and support him. Just like her mother. The Queen.
Shortly after Leonor's 20th birthday, her engagement to a man she had never met was announced. Apparently her older sister, Beatriz, had convinced him that Leonor needed a husband. Leonor wasn't a high-ranking officer in the military, nor was she the Queen's little doll. Leonor was just a wasted opportunity. And so came to be her arranged marriage to Ser Lance. A much older man, about 45 years old, recently widowed. He was one of the wealthiest men in the Kingdom. The union would bring a much-needed supply of money to Cordoba to raise the army.
Leonor, unable to voice her feelings or opinion, had no choice but to thank her father for the union.
R E L A T I O N S H I P S ____________________________________________________________________________________
● Marisol Santos Soidina, Queen of Cordoba Leonor doesn't know much about her own mother. The woman may have birth her, but she did not raise her. Marisol was always distant with Leonor, only visiting her daughter during special occasions such as birthdays or holidays. Leonor didn't resent her mother, only wishes she had spent more time with the woman. After the obvious favoritasim towards the youngest the Queen has shown, Leonor's distaste and resenment towards her has been growing.
● Arturo de Los Rios Soidina, King of Cordoba Leonor was closer to her father than her mother. While she had his attention, he would often recommend her books of poetry for her to read or would take short walks around the gardens with her. He would comment that Leonor was far more pleasant to talk to than Beatriz; perhaps that is why the older sister wanted her out so badly.
● Beatriz Soidina, Princess of Cordoba It's no secret that Beatriz doesn't like her Leonor. Nobody really knows why and it's speculated that it's because of the King. But it is clear as night and day that she doesn't like Leonor. On the other hand, Leonor doesn't mind her older sister. Sure, she may be a bitch, but she is still her family.
● Sol Santos Soidina, Princess of Cordoba The relationship between Leonor and Sol is a shaky one at best. While they both enjoy talking about poetry, music, and art they cannot be together for an extended time. Sol thinks that Leonor is too smart for her own good, and Leonor thinks Sol is too much like her mother. Although, Beatriz has a soft spot for Sol that the youngest isn't afraid to use against Leonor.
Elias let Talon push him away. He didn't want to give his brother a reason to start swinging. Octavia's own out burst wasn't helping this situation. Were Talon's word uncalled for? Yes. Did the guy have to control himself? Also yes. But now wasn't the time for lectures. The loud voices and curious eyes around them were not helping one bit. Despite all of the distractions around them, Elias kept his eyes directly on his brother.
"You are right; I don't get it." He took a step closer to Talon to keep his attention on him. "So make me understand, T. Tell me." He lifted up his arms next to his shoulders, a sign of peace. He didn't want to escalate things any further. He had to get Talon away from prying eyes and Octavia's hot temper. Elias didn't blame his sister. He knew she meant well but she couldn't take any words Talon said right now to heart. Especially insults. As bad as they were he knew Talon didn't mean it.
In honesty, Elias was curious as to what made Talon snap like this. He had seen his brother's rage before but never quite like this. Was it because of the competition? The banter they had exchanged while they climbed? Elias was genuine when he told his brother that he wanted to understand.
Elias continued to approach the younger boy carefully and calmly. "Let's get out of here." Too many people. It would be easier to talk things through with Talon away from the crowd that had gathered around the base of the tower. He reached towards his brother but didn't touch him—just a little encouragement.
He ignored the announcement that ripped everyone's gaze away from them and to Dionysus. He kept his own disbelief in check and kept his eyes on his brother. An accusation from a God wasn't to be taken lightly, and neither was the situation at hand.
Imani couldn't help but to hum just the slightest when she felt the other girls lips against her own. Bold. Imani liked that. Her figure pressed closer to Katherine's as he free hand moved up the ink-covered arm. Long slender fingers wrapped around Katheirne's wrist that held the newly awquired flask. Imani's nails dragging over the underside of her wrist until she snatched the flask from Katherine's grip. She shot the other girl a wink as she poped it open and took a small swig from it.
"Delicious." Imani'd right hand, the one currently on Katherine's hair, gripped those silky locks and pulled her head back. Just enough for Imani to look down at her, a playful smirk gracing her lips. "Would you like a taste?" She didn't give Katherine time to respond. Imani took another drink before she pressed their lip together away. Her tongue worked itself past Katherine's lips to give her a taste of the contents from the flash. Her right hand kept the girl in place.
It was over quickly. Imani liked it like that. Leave Katherine wanting for more. It was how she played.
Imani pulled back, shooting Katherine a matching wink as she released her. She pressed the flask against Katherine, indicating her to take it, as she looked over at Isaura. She just stuck out her tongue at the Snow Queen in a playful manner.
"Would you like some kisses too?" Imani grinned at Isaura, reaching over to take her hand and squeeze it. "Don't worry, hun, you know you're the only girl I love." Imani meant it. She loved Issie as a sister.
Her lips parted as if she would say something else before she was interrupted by the deafening roars and drums around them. Imani's head snapped towards the tower just in time to catch Octavia and Talon hit the floor. What the fuck? Down below, she spotted Elias making his way through the crowd and towards his siblings.
"Hmmm, I was rooting for her."

Elias was having fun just watching his siblings and the rest of the campers compete against one another. Oh what he would give to roll under that inital beam and pull himself up from the moving ladders up to the bars. He could feel his arms and stomach flexing at the thought of having to climb up, to push those bars and have them find flesh on the other side. To feel the glory of it all to climb up to the last plataform and look down at all those you out ran. The thought of it made his hands itch for the cool metal of the rungs.
If only he hadn't helped Valeria on that last prank. Whatever at least he was here to see the competition. The two daughters of Athena were making headway while Sam was going utterly undetected by the others. Carlos, like always, was being careless as ever. Bran Bran was well, being Bran Bran. Ky'vie had the competition right under her. He could have been up there along with them. He'd probably be ahead of Brandon, by just a little. He wasn't as muscled as his brother, but he was more nimble. It was easier for Elias to move.
His daydream came crashing down, literally. His eyes tracked his sister, Octavia, throw herself from the platform she had just gotten to mere seconds ago, and against the body of Talon. He hadn't noticed the pure and uncontrollable rage in the younger boy's eyes. He knew it all too well.
"Shit, shit." Elias was no stranger to it. None of his siblings were. Their bursts of anger and pure rage was somewhat of a burden to them. He'd suffer for the majority of his childhood because of it. Bursts of anger followed by long periods of depression. At the very least, his mother had found a way to help him control it. Talon hadn't had that.
Elias hurried to the side where Octavia and Talon had fallen. He pushed away other campers, instructing them to go back and away from them. No one else had to get hurt. Then he saw the blood. His eyebrows came together as he approached his two siblings. The worry clear in his eyes.
"No fighting." Elias said, his voice calm and collected. Much like his mother's when he'd have one of these rage-infused episodes. He placed a hand on Octavia's shoulder, indicating to her that he had it. A nod, just to encourage her further. "Talk to me, T, just talk to me. Ignore them. The tower doesn't exist now. Just me. Come on, talk to me." He brought his hand up behind Talon's neck and pressed their foreheads together so Talon couldn't look away from him. "Look at me. Talk to me."
There was no need for fighting. That would only fuel Talon's irrational anger. If he put himself between the source of it, Talon had no option but to look at Elias. But fighting was in their blood, and while he had faith that Talon would just talk, he was glad that Octavia was here. If it came down to a fight, he wouldn't be alone.
It was entertaining, to say the least. The day was perfect for partaking in such barbaric and unrefined activities. Was it the rush of adrenaline? Or the glory of showing off to the rest of the camp? Show everyone else you were better at climbing and kicking off your brothers and sisters off the tower? Fun? Imani never truly understood the purpose of participating in these kinds of events.
On the other hand, Elias was the opposite. He knew exactly why people loved the obstacle tower. The loud roars from the crowds, the danger, the thrill, and the glory of it all were right up his alley. Unfortunately, Elias had been an idiot and had gotten himself in trouble. Mr. D had forbidden him from attempting to win the tower today. He didn't mention this to Octavia or his brothers. Didn't want them to feel sorry for him since they knew how much Elias liked to participate in these events with them. Besides, Elias thought, it would be fun to be a spectator every once in a while. Maybe he could give them pointers to improve for the next time around.
"Don't tell me you are actually upset," Imani was a few steps ahead of Elias, perfectly manicured nails fiddling with the buttons on her dress. She always did that, play with the little string or buttons of her clothing when she had something on her mind. It was a subconscious tick that she had been trying to get rid of for a while. "Why are you even coming? You'll just get sad watching the others, and you know how you get." She had turned her head just enough to look at him, rolling her eyes at the stupid smile on his face.
"Oh, please, you know I have to support my boys and girls!" Elias hurried and fell into step with Imani. "Carlitos and my precious siblings are going to be up there! I gotta show my support to my favorite people while they try to knock each other out from the tower! Besides, Bran Bran or O might actually take the ring this time. I have faith in Tee, but he still has more training to do."
"Bran Bran?" She laughed softly, plump lips partying to form a small smile. Imani gad always enjoyed Elias's skill to give everyone stupid nicknames. So far, Bran Bran had been her favorite. "This is why you are my favorite from that cabin."
Imani could see the tower now, at the very top, the golden ring reflecting light into her eyes as they continued to walk. She had been tempted to partake in the barbaric activity before when she was younger, but now the thought of getting sucker-punched in the face by one of those beams was not appealing one bit. Besides, she would rather watch all from the stands and marble at the contestants rippling muscles as they tried to best one another. Imani wondered if her brother had entertained the same idea as her.
As the duo made their way to the stands, the thunder of voices got louder as a camper had gotten stuck in the ladders. Elias stayed near the bottom to spectate. His eyes on his friend and the rest of his siblings running past the beam and into the rotating ladders that led up the obstacle tower.
"Carlos, don't forget that you're not some superhero and think, boy!" Elias shouted up at the son of Tyche, hands cupped around his mouth. His attention shifted to his two brothers, then to Octavia, grinning up at them. "No time for chit chat, O, you gotta get that win!" He continued to cheer them on as Imani walked past him.
Katherine wasn't that hard to spot amongst the crowd. Imani had memorized every side of her. From the girl's hair, the tip of her nose to those ink-covered arms, and down to her perfectly sculpted legs. She hummed softly as she made her way past other demigods, every one of their eyes flickering towards Imani's slender figure as she walked past them.
"Morning, cutie." Imani took her seat on Katherine's lap and wrapped her arm around those toned shoulders. "Hope you didn't miss me too much." Her fingers graced the back of Katherine's neck and up the back of her scalp. She had always enjoyed the texture of the other girl's hair between her fingers. Imani always wondered how Katherine would react if she were to pull the beautiful locks. One day.
Her eyes shifted up, a smile spreading over her lips when she saw the Snow Queen approaching them. "Glad to hear that, hun. Oh! I got your skirt in my cabin if you want it back. It's always so hard to find skirts with pockets." Imani hummed, eyes trained on Brandon as she watched him climb up the tower. Eye candy. She didn't know exactly who she was rooting for. Ky'vie would be the most obvious answer, but the girl had already won so many times that it was getting boring to see her snatch the ring for herself. Instead, she decided on Octavia, the warrior from Camp Jupiter. A woman that had perked up Imani's interest.
Her attention was ripped from the tower to Katherine. A smile returned to her lips as she leaned in closer, her lips almost gracing Katherine's cheek. "You should have told me; I would have happily gotten it for you, Kat." Her left hand slid into Katherine's jacket, bringing her lips ever so slightly closer to the other girl's. "Here you go, love." She pulled back with a knowing smile as she presented Katherine with her flask.
