## History

### Early Life

Isabella Thompson was born to James Thompson, a mortal man and Invidia, roman goddess of balance, retribution, and vengeance in Ibarra, Ecuador on May 9, 2004. Isabella's father was a high school biology professor in Ecuador. He met Invidia at a conference, although he didn't know that she actually was Invidia. Invidia was actually looking for a different professor who had recently been having a lot of good luck, so she needed to give him some bad luck. She was very focused on her task and didn't even notice James, who accidentally bumped into her. Let's just say he was lucky not to have been cursed forever, but Invidia was, as previously stated, distracted, and decided not to punish him. James was very taken with her, and offered to buy her a drink after the conference was over. She agreed, somewhat to his surprise, and introduced herself as a reporter from California, who had come to Ecuador to visit family.  Over coffee the two became friends. Invidia sporadically visited James over the next few years, and they eventually had Isabella and Invidia left soon after

### Childhood

Isabella grew up in Ecuador, but she always felt she didn't belong there, even though she had a very exuberant personality, and made some really good friends, Rowan and Shayna, quickly. She was bullied a lot because she did well at school, even though she was dyslexic, but Rowan and Shayna stuck up for her. Her dad helped her through her dyslexia, having taught some other students who were also dyslexic. When she turned 7, both girls moved away, and she was subject to a lot of bullying, but she never wanted to bother her dad about it, so she kept quiet. One day, she was about 9 at the time, she had just had it, and a red haze kind of filled her vision, and she didn't really know how, but suddenly one of her main tormentors was on the ground bleeding, saying that Isabella had hit him. She was in detention for a week, which was the first time anything like that had happened to her. From that point on, she became really shy and kept her head down at school, never really talking to anyone, or taking any interest in school activities.

### Moving to California

When Isabella was ten and a half, she had to move to California. James never explained why, just saying something vague about a job offer, but he was actually looking for Invidia, who he knew as Katrina Rodriguez, a reporter. He was still in love with her, though he would never admit it. Isabella was distraught, but she didn't complain, knowing that that would only upset her dad, and eventually made a new best friend, a girl named Hillary. Her life wasn't all that perfect however, since several of the more popular people in the school didn't like her due to the fact that she quickly became the first in her classes. One guy, Jonathon Brown, seemed to especially hate her. Isabella hated that, and whenever he spoke to her, she would always respond sarcastically. A few days after her eleventh birthday, Jonathon went too far. He said that she had copied off him for a science test, which she didn't. However, the teacher believed him, since they both had the same mark, and she got detention that day. She was really upset, and then suddenly she thought of a plan to get revenge. She knew that Jonathon hated the water for whatever reason, so she got up really early one Saturday and rigged his entire house so that if he stepped outside, he would instantly get soaked. She had no idea how she had thought of how to do it, but she knew it was the best possible way to get revenge on him. From that point on, she always seemed to know what got on people's nerves the most, and whenever someone was mean to her she would get back at them, until eventually everyone was terrified to taunt her.

### Monster Attack, Finding out, and Coming to Camp

One day she was biking with Hillary to Hillary's house, which was just out of the city, when this giant dog-looking creature tried to attack her. She had no idea what was happening, but she somehow managed to dodge the attack by ducking behind a nearby tree, and then Hillary gave her a short bronze sword. She just stood staring at it for a couple seconds thinking "*What am I supposed to do with this thing?*"  when the giant dog thing or whatever it was called lunged at her again. Instinct took over and she slashed the sword. She missed, but she stumbled back in time to not get hurt. The dog thing lunged again, and she ran to the left.  She tripped, but as she was falling she saw a tennis ball, which gave her an idea. She grabbed the tennis ball and stood up. "Do you want the ball?" She asked, putting a playful note in her voice. The dog looked at her, but his gaze wasn't murderous anymore. Isabella threw the ball as far as she could. "Go get it!" She called. The dog turned around to figure out where the ball went. The minute he did that, Isabella ran to it and slashed with the sword. When the sword came in contact with the giant dog, the thing disintegrated.

She turned to Hillary, "What the heck was that thing?" She asked. Hillary sighed. "I thought so. Come with me. Oh. And that was a hell hound." "Um... a what?" Isabella asked, confused.  "A hell hound. It's pretty much what it sounds like. Now follow. I'm taking you to camp." "What camp?" she asked, still completely bewildered. "A camp for people like you." Hillary said. "Wait... Are you taking me to a camp for crazy people? Wow... What a great way to spend my thirteenth birthday. Going insane." Isabella said, now panicking slightly. "And what's this sword thing?" She asked, tapping it. Suddenly it seemed to ripple in the light, then it turned into a friendship bracelet! "And how-" she started, but Hillary cut her off. "That's a hiding mechanism. No, it's not a camp for crazy people, and the sword is made of Celestial bronze so it can kill monsters. I'll explain more when we get to camp. it's not much farther." Hillary replied, slightly out of breath from biking so long and so fast. Even during the two's short conversation they'd covered quite a bit of distance from the spot where the hell hound had appeared. Finally, after another 5 minutes or so, Hillary got off her bike near a hill. "Follow me, Isa," Hillary called as she started walking up the hill, panting. Suddenly Hillary turned around. "I guess you should know before you get into camp. You're a demigod." Isabella stared for a second. "A demigod. Half god or goddess, and half mortal. I'm one too, actually. I'm a Daughter of Iris. I got bored of camp and decided to go to the outside world. Anyway, I thought you might be a demigod but I wasn't sure, so I decided to stick around you in case you were. Luckily, not too many monsters smelled us..."

"Smelled us?" Isabella cut her off. "I don't smell!"

"Well, demigods have this special scent that they can't get rid of that monsters track. So it's not you specifically, just demigods in general. I'm really confused as to why moer monsters didn't attack us since both of us together should have been like... Um... like if the monsters were little kids we'd be an ice cream truck." Hillary finished off lamely. "Wow. Real nice comparison there." Isabella remarked drily. "And if this is real, which I still don't think it is, then maybe it's because I didn't know I was a demigod? I mean- if you know something you'll focus on it more, so if I focused on the fact that I was a demigod thing that would probably make my smell stronger, right?"

Hillary looked astonished. "That's what I was thinking. There's a reason you're my friend, Isa." Isabella smiled, but then said, "But what about you? I mean, you know what you are..."

"I do, but there's a reason I live out of the city. Well, two actually. One, I was hoping you'd be at my house if it turned out you were a demigod and got attacked, and second, if monsters attacked *me* here, no-one would ever know." Isabella shrugged. "Whatever. This is some huge prank, but go on."

"Well... I've been waiting for something to happen to prove that you were a demigod because I didn't want to be wrong."

"Makes sense." Isabella said. "Anyway, something happened." Hillary said, laughing nervously a little. "Um... I'll just go with that, but I still think you're joking." Isabella responded, still confused, and a little annoyed that Hillary seemed perfectly serious when this was obviously some sort of elaborate practical joke. "I'm not! Come on, you've got to trust me on this! Anyway, you know how we studied the Greek myths this year back in December?" Hillary continued. "Um... How could I forget? That was my favorite unit!" Isabella said. "Well... All those myths are real." Hillary pressed on. "No way! Everything else... I kinda believed, but this? No. Just no." Isabella said, looking at Hillary in disbelief. "Sorry, no. It's real. Izzy-" Hillary started, but was cut off with a clipped "Don't. Ever. Call me that again." Before Hillary could respond, they came to a a gate, with a tree on one side. The top of the - well it wasn't a gate per se, just two pillars with "Camp Olympia" written in letters that at first didn't look like normal English letters, but then solidified. "Well, thank the gods we got here before you got really angry." Hillary muttered before saying more loudly, "Welcome to your home." Isabella looked around, taking in everything, and forgetting her previous disbelief. It did feel like a home. "Home." She agreed. "I told you so." Hillary said grinning. Isabella was later claimed by Invidia and moved to The Nemesis Cabin, meeting her half-sister Natalie

## Personality

Isabella can be described by her peers as eccentric, yet cold-hearted. She, like her mother before her, can be very unpleasant and cruel, especially if you upset any of the Olympians (and the future ones). Many Romans see her as to be just and righteous, never biased when it comes to doling out punishment. However, within the Olympian ranks, she tends to favor only the strongest and the ones with the most power, like Cora, and will not give even a glance at you if you are weak and helpless. To other mythologies however, they mostly see her 'bad' side, where Isabella chooses to only acknowledge the Roman Mythos and has high disregard for every other mythology. She treats other Mythos like rubbish, and this has even caused some of her own family and friends amongst the Roman Mythos to dislike her, perhaps even hate her. However, this isn't totally her fault, because she was brought up to hate every evil against the Roman pantheon but combined with her twisted way of thinking, she believes that every other mythology is evil. The ironic thing is that she seems to have a very balanced view of things, however, despite only respecting the Roman Mythos. For example, she highly does not approve of the muses and even acts spitefully to them, yet supports them as they somewhat contrast the Jr. Council, which she is a part of. This mentality and attitude has confused many people, which is why many are very uncomfortable around her. However, she does take her destiny as the next bringer of justice very seriously, so unfortunately, whatever mythology you come from; if you commit a crime, she will not hesitate to report you to Zoe. Some claim she is a tattletale and she doesn't deny it. As a matter of fact, she takes pride in it. Also, besides reporting campers to Zoe, she will hex them with a curse, ranging from the smallest mishap like tripping onto a cake to a large curse like meeting with an accident and getting critically injured. Many are still confused about her mysterious ways as she can be unpredictable most of the time. Even her own half-sister Natalie doesn't understand her. Speaking of which, she does have a heart. She cares dearly for her mother and her sister, even though it doesn't seem that obvious. She also cares for those whom she respects (and vice versa, obviously), but she tends to hide her feelings behind a wall for she is afraid that one day her fears and insecurities will be revealed to the whole world. That's why she always maintains a cold exterior. Also, Isabella always pities those with bad luck and always blesses them with good luck. Of course, she expects those people to not take those blessings for granted, and just one misuse can sever her ties with them (and in return, hex them). There are a lot of ironies surrounding Isabella. A notable one can be that even though her mother has drilled into her that she must 'never let pride get to her head', she does sometimes have a big ego. Many people try to take advantage of this whenever Isabella 'goes about her daily business' and starts to brag a little about her powers and her ability to easily take down her opponent through just words. She can get a bit power hungry, and some of her own fellow Roman Mythos say that whenever she hangs around Cora, she is just a gold-digger and just seeking for the opportunity to usurp the role of leader from the Muses from the daughter of Calliope. That is true in a way, but being leader of the Muses? That's fake news. She's a follower, not a leader. To be around Cora is to improve her social status, but she has never actually admitted that reality and truth to anybody

### Fatal flaw

Isabella's fatal flaw is her Trust issues. She is slow to Trust issues and can come off as judgemental when you first meet her, but she just wants to make sure you're a good ally to her

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Natalie Smith

Both Natalie and Isabella have a very positive relationship. Though Natalie doesn't like how Isabella is associating herself with Cora, they still get along. They both like to talk smack about people they don't like and laugh with their other friends

#### Cora Williams

Since Cora is so confident, Cora is one whom Isabella absolutely looks up to and idolizes. I mean sure, they are apart of different Pantheons, but Isabella has made it clear that she doesn't care about that. The most likely place you will ever find her 95% of the time is probably within a 5-meter radius of the daughter of Calliope

### Family

Despite acting around her mother like her pet, and always sucks up to her, nobody actually knows that Invidia pressures her daughter a lot. Everyone expects that Invidia is always proud of her biological daughter, believing that in the sight of the revenge goddess, everything Isabella does is perfect and that she is proud of her daughter. In truth, Invida is the kind of mother to believe in "tough love". Despite this, Isabella still holds great reverence for Invidia and aspires to make her proud one day by pushing herself harder. It's just that no one knows that Isabella is walling up behind her stern and emotionless mask.

#### James (Father)

Isabella loves her father, don't get her wrong, but she hates how her father forced her to move from Ibarra to California. Isabella loves her father for teaching her about their cultures and teaching her things about life. They often write to each other
