## History

### Early Life

Melissa Waller was born to Aristaeus, god of shepherds, cheesemaking, beekeeping, honey, honey-mead and medicinal herbs and Jane Waller, a mortal woman in New York City, New York on June 4, 2004. Jane Waller is a young 21 year old woman living in New York City after moving from Arizona. After a year or so of living in New York, she was dragged to a beekeeping meeting by her best friend. There, she met Aristaeus and fell in love. The god, however, was interested in only having a one night fling with the girl, so that's what he did. On the 4th of June in 2004, Melissa Lotus Waller was born

### Childhood

Jane adored her daughter, and soon, she married Edward Walters, and the three lived a happy life. Jane, knowing Melissa's father was the god that he was due to the explanation he gave her after they had sex, she let Melissa be out in the countryside, and even went to the trouble of her best friend giving her lessons in beekeeping. Jane wanted Melissa to have some sort of connection with her father, even if it were small things like she did. Unknown to Jane, Edward himself was a demigod and once he learned of Melissa's heritage, he made a vow to himself, and Melissa, that he'd keep her safe.

When Melissa was 7, Jane died of causes disclosed to the family. At the same time, Edward was strained financially, and before long, he couldn't pay the rent on the house, and had to try and find a new, cheaper home. After weeks of searching, he gave up, and with the due date of himself and Melissa moving out of the house a couple of days away, he packed up a few important belongings, and the two fled the house. For the next two years or so, the two were homeless, living on the streets. Despite this, Melissa always remained positive, and never failed to brighten each day of Edward's life. On Melissa 9th birthday, Edward surprised her by taking her to their new home; a small flat in Austin, Texas. Since the two became homeless, Edward had saved ever penny that people who walked by gave them, and also got many part-time jobs in order to get more money, and after the five years of being homeless, he had enough, and brought the apartment

### Monster Attack

Only months from moving in, Edward became CEO of a major company, and soon, Melissa was living a dream life. Despite literally having everything she could ever want, Melissa never became bratty, and still valued what she did when she was homeless. Around the time of her 11th birthday, she was attacked by a harpy. Edward, as he had promised, fought of the beast with ease, having been at camp himself and was quite handy with a sword. After the attack, Edward contemplated about sending Melissa to camp, but soon decided he could teach her how to use weapons in a hope that she could defend herself.

### Training and Coming to Camp

After a month of no attacks and training, Edward felt that Melissa was ready enough to leave the house on her own and such. Almost as soon as he had let her and she did go out, she was attacked by a giant scorpion. Being trained by Edward, she managed to fight the monster off until Edward, who had been looking for her, found her and helped her get away from the monster. After that, Melissa wasn't allowed out, despite the fact she was going on to be. Not much happened from her life since then; she still trained, got attacked and knew how to get out, and still valued the small things in life. When she was 13, Edward took her to Camp, where she was claimed by Aristaeus.

## Personality

Melissa is adventurous and daring, and is always up for new adventures. She's fearless and bold, and always takes the risks others aren't willing to take. She has excellent self-control, being fairly good at controlling her emotions and desires. Melissa follows her brain rather than her heart, and avoids letting her feelings take control of the situation. She is a caring and protective person, and would risk her life for her loved ones. She's not the type that trusts people easily, but when she does, she's an exceptionally loyal and devoted friend, who will do anything for the ones around her. Melissa is constantly concerned about the well-being and safety of the ones she loves. Melissa can be rather bossy and is always the dominant one in her relationships, either platonic or romantic ones. She likes to feel like she's in control of things. Of course she's not that person who will give you orders all the time and expect you to obey her every wish, but she definitely knows how to stop you with a single look in her eyes. Additionally, her dominance is about making sure everything's okay and right rather than imposing orders. She can be rather impatient and gets annoyed easily if things don't turn out the way she planned. Making justice to her name, Melissa is sweet like honey, and definitely a warm and welcoming girl. Despite some personality traits of hers, Melissa is actually very kind, tender and compassionate. She's always doing her best to protect nature, and if she ever sees someone trying to pick a flower, she will run after them with her bees. Melissa is a lover of nature and its beauties, and will do anything she can to protect it with her life. She truly values the Earth, the flora and fauna and wishes people could value it as much as she does. Also, she knows she's better than you. Melissa is very bubbly and is a joy to be around. Generally she makes people feel very happy about themselves and loves to compliment people on how they look, are like, or just them as a whole. She loves to make people laugh, and values the little things in life. She is always perceived as weak and soft hearted, but she knows how to fight to an extent, and can, if she so dislikes the person, can have a heart of stone, and she can hold grudges for long periods of time. She's also the one who everyone unloads their problems on, and she generally tries her best to give good advice, and always, no matter what, comforts the person.
