## History

### Early Life

Skylar Ulan was born to Anitun Tabu, goddess of the wind and rain, and Hector Ulan in Davao City in The Philippines. In 2004, Hector Ulan was a zookeeper at the Davao Riverfront Crocodile Park & Zoo in Davao City in The Philippines. He had just recently graduated college with a degree in Biology. He was one of the kindest and loveliest zookeepers there, he would always give the animals their favorite treats and gave excellent tidbits about the animals to the visitors. He was definitely an animal person. One faithful day in the Summer, after giving a group of Americans a tour of the Zoo, a woman approached him with a warm smile. This woman was the goddess, Anitun Tabu. After hours, he took the beautiful lady to a local cafe. They chatted for hours about life and Hector felt something he had never felt before, love. Later, Hector led the woman into his apartment and before you knew it, Skylar was conceived. After spending a few days with the lovely lady, she just disappeared which made Hector mad and confused. A few months later, Hector came back to his apartment and was shocked to find an weather nymph at his doorstep, carrying a shimmering basket that contained his daughter. While he was bewildered, the nymph began explaining about the woman he slept with, his daughter's specialty, and Camp Olympia. As soon as she was done, she disappeared and all was there left, was the basket and attached to it was a sword.

### Childhood

Ever since she was a little girl, she hated Davao City. Skylar hated the noise of cars at night. She hated all her rich classmates and absolutely hated when they scoffed at her for her enjoyment in nature. While they all spent their free time playing gadgets, or hanging out with their friends. She would always spend her time at the School gardens, staring at the skies and plants. Seeing that she wasn't enjoying the city life. So when she was nine, Hector allowed her to move to live with her grandparents in a village located 11 hours away. Luckily, her grandparents absolutely adored Skylar as they also loved nature. She was home-schooled by her grandmother who had been a teacher. When she was 10, she was out in the Beach by herself while her grandparents went to get food. A Telekhine came out of the waters wielding a sword. She started screaming wildly while it came toward her, a satyr came to her rescue and disarmed the monster. Watching the battle, she quickly fainted from shock. Skylar woke up to the worried faces of her grandparents. They said that by the time they returned from the snack bar they found her on the ground. Skylar didn't remember anything about the battle and life continued normally for the kid.

### A Trip to The States

That is, until her father showed up again for her eleventh birthday and announced that he got a job offer in the LA Zoo. He asked her if he wanted to move in with her and she agreed because her grandparents were going to live abroad in Rome for a year and Skylar had always wanted to go to Los Angeles despite her hatred of cities. She loved the rich history, the monuments and the theaters shows. She was home-schooled by a tutor who was secretly a satyr by the name of Raymond. Her next attack was when she was 12, while she and Raymond went to get a hot dog. A big hell hound came out of no where and attacked her. She was scared as Raymond stabbed the monster with his sword several times and it dissolved into thin air. When they returned home, Raymond and her father had a discussion about the future of Skylar. Raymond thought that he should tell his daughter of her origin and that she should go to Camp while Hector protested that she shouldn't know and that she should stay they then made a compromise that she should know when she turned 13.

### Getting to Camp

Then she was 12 going onto 13, Raymond and her were walking around Down Town when suddenly a harpy came, unnoticed by Skylar. Raymond grabbed a couple of throwing knives and dissolved the monster. Finally it was the day she turned 13. She got lots of presents from her friends and family. Her father came and finally told her of her mother, her being a demigod, and Camp. Packing her items and put on a new flower bracelet that her father gave to her. Riding buses, Skylar and Raymond set out for Big Bear. A few hours later, they finally reached the entrance where a deadly scorpion awaited them. It lashed out on Raymond and Skylar screamed manically as her friend began to bleed. But courageously he fought and soon he died from the poison. The Scorpion was in no finer shape and it weakly trudged over to Skylar. It hit her, creating a small cut on her arm and her bracelet fell and turned into a Sword. She wickedly stabbed and electrocuted the monster and it dissolved into pieces. Grabbing her items, she ran over to the Camp entrance where she was greeted by a few campers. She was later claimed by her mother

## Personality

Sky is described to be much like the weather: unpredictable, always changing, never certain. You could never be sure of how she'd react to anything if she'd laugh or cry. She also is very expressive, sensitive, and highly emotional. Her magic and ability to manipulate weather respond to her emotions. One needs to tread lightly when dealing with Skye, as she is high-strung and could erupt into one of her well-known moods. Which could then interrupt into a literal storm. She is also witty and sassy, enjoying herself with banter and snarky conversation. It is almost as if she is making up for her transparency with her emotions by habitually making amusing and cheeky remarks. Even so, Sky is known for being blunt and candid all the time. Sky is overall very opinionated, sassy, fearless, outspoken, and blunt. She is known for her extroverted ways, feeling open to talking to many people without a doubt. Sky has a passion for anything she is dedicated to such as modeling, dance, literature, and photography. Her favorite thing is the idea of challenging and debating. She loves being ambitious and having harder challenges that drive her to accomplish tasks. Sky loves debates because she can easily use the information to her usage and present it as evidence, she also loves seeing new sides to a point and finding the different opinions of other people. Sky is also an optimist. She always tries to see the positive side of people and believes in second chances. Skylar is understanding and kind. She always tries to give people the benefit of the doubt. She will try to be nice at all times, and help anyone with anything. Skylar is a bright person, and enjoys making and seeing others happy. She has a sense of humor, and likes cracking jokes. When seeing someone bullied or put down, she will step in and defend them. She believes in peace for all living things, and because of this belief is a vegetarian. Skylar, for the most part, is a forgiving person, but does have her grudges. Skylar is very confident, and rarely ever nervous. Though a storm demigod, Skylar has a nurturing and motherly personality. This mostly occurs with her friends and loved ones, but will extend to complete strangers if needed. Honestly, to get a favor from Skylar, all you have to do is ask, though Skylar will expect the person to pay it forward to someone else, and will likely not accept payment herself. Sometimes, however, Skylar is quick to anger, which can and has damaged relationships. She cares deeply for her friends and will protect them at all costs, and is not afraid to get in a scuffle with anyone. Many would call her extroverted. Skylar also has a need to solve every problem that comes her way. She always attempts to solve conflicts, even if the situation doesn't necessarily involve her. When asked not to do this, she does get offended and defends herself by stating she only tries to help. If she can't solve a problem, she will obsess about it. Skylar, although a cautious person, enjoys trying new things. She will take (reasonable) risks, but does not give in to peer pressure easily. Skylar, if seeing a loved one doing something harmful, will not hold back and tell what they are doing is stupid, showing the tougher side to her affection. It is not difficult to tell if Skylar is upset, she will get extremely moody and, in some cases, very sarcastic. She will likely not listen to her friends, or be able to reason with in general. People who know her well have figured out it is best to leave her alone until she recovers, at which she will apologize profusely to anyone she may have said hurtful things to. She tries to keep this unpleasant personality under wraps, though sometimes it's no use. One thing many people don't realize is that Skylar makes a great leader. When she is in a position of power she leads with integrity, organization, and humility. The reason no one usually sees this part of Skylar is that she actually doesn't like being a leader, and prefers to follow others. However, she will gladly step up, if the situation calls for it. She has never been the type to want to be a hero, and dislikes those who flaunt their royal status. If Skylar had one weakness, it would likely be her rosy view of Camp Olympia, and her insistence on seeing the good in others. Some people are truly evil villains and arrogant heroes, and cannot be changed, but that won't stop Skylar from trying. This mindset often leads her to associating with the wrong people for the right reasons, putting herself in danger. Skylar absolutely despises any and all types of prejudice and stereotypes. She will speak out against them no matter what, and will gladly join any peaceful protest, if the cause is good. She does not approve of violence in any way, and believes it undermines the message. Despite the dirty mouse stereotype (which she dislikes), Skylar is a neat freak. She can barely stand to enter a filthy room without cleaning up a little. This is more of a quirk than anything, and no one, including Skylar herself, takes it seriously.

### Fatal flaw

Skylar's fatal flaw is her mercy. She hates to kill and hurt other people, which causes problems during battle.
