## History

### Early Life

Thana Amada was born to Rán, goddess of the sea, storms, and death, and Thomas Amada a mortal man in Tucson, Arizona on August 7, 2004. Thomas Amada was a first-generation Costa Rican-American, a fresh immigrant from Costa Rica. A young 29 year old, he was hoping to start fresh and begin a family with his wife, Hope. When they arrived, Thomas got a job as the cashier at a deli. His job was grueling, over twelve hours of work a day with little pay. Sick and tired of living a frugal, poor life, Hope packed her things and fled when Thomas was away at work. When he returned, there was no note, no remainder that she had ever lived there. She had just left. Thomas fell into despair and searched desperately for her, but he never found her. He lost his job after being absent for too many days, just laying in his bed, thinking about all the things he could have done to make her stay. Many months later, he was taking a small walk in the park when a lovely, bright woman strolled up to him, looking for a chat. At first, Thomas brushed her off, unable to comprehend her pace of English words when he had barely learned, but he eventually warmed up to her, and by the time he realized he had been in the park for almost two hours, he was just starting a conversation about a new topic with this woman. She begin teaching him English, ad introduced herself as Lily.
Thomas typically fell in love with this woman, who had walked up to him just to talk, because she had noticed his gloomy nature and wanted to cheer him up. But the woman grew to be extremely affectionate of him, and Thomas managed to learn fluent English thanks to her lessons. The two fell in love and often spent the lonely nights together. A year later, he took his chance and proposed to her, back in the park where they met. But Lily suddenly turned reluctant, and Thomas became discouraged and heartbroken when she refused, saying she couldn't marry him. When he asked why, she didn't answer. He begged her to marry him, not wanting to be alone again. Lily was saddened but put her foot down-she couldn't marry him. After that, she vanished.

Thomas spent many lonely months by himself, and after ages of sorrow and loneliness, angrily decided that love only destroyed you and swore never to fall in love again. Never to marry. It only ended up hurting you. However, just a little less than a year after Thomas lost Lily, he opened the door to his rundown motel room, too poor to even afford a real house anymore, and there was a baby girl in a wicker basket decorated with holly leaves. In the basket was a note and a roll of money, almost $500 worth. In the basket was also a ring, too big for the baby's tiny fingers. It was a simple wooden band with something that looked like a piece of bronze set in the middle.
Shocked and surprised, Thomas' sorrow was refreshed when he saw the note was from Lily-or so he thought. It was her same scribble, but it turned out, her name wasn't Lily.
It was Rán.
Rán desperately tried to explain the situation to him-about Norse mythology, how their daughter would be in danger, but Thomas was now furious and dismissed her words as crazy rubbish. However, he grudgingly decided to keep the baby girl and the money. He named the girl Thana after his mother and promised to give her a good, easy life. But, he didn't wish to have a personal relationship with his daughter-he would never forget Lily, aka Rán. He couldn't. Thomas, now fluent in English, used the meager amount of money to provide while he looked for a job. He soon found one at a media company, who admired his fluent English and his brains, and hired him. Thomas quickly climbed the ranks of the media company, earning more and more money for the household.

### Childhood

Thomas never told his daughter about her mother-only telling her short, angry stories about how she had abandoned them for her own selfish needs whenever she asked. Thana soon lost curiosity about her mother. Thana grew up living a pampered life as her father soon became CEO of the media company, and had no connection with nature in her childhood, despite her mother-she lived in a penthouse suite in LA. He was paid handsomely but worked 24/7. He was a workaholic, often opting to send the housemaid to go to Thana's school events. He paid for everything-Thana's ballet, violin, piano, and tae-kwon-do lessons, her numerous tutors, and allowed her to do anything she wanted and quit as she pleased. Thana jumped from several extracurricular activities, from cheer-leading to math squad, in her early years of school, and passed her courses with flying colors. At first, she seemed like a perfect child, and Thomas could comfortably watch from afar and have a detached, cool pride of his perfect daughter.

But Thana soon became rebellious, tired of always being a goody-two-shoes-and the lack of her only parent's love. Although Soli, the housemaid, acted as her parent figure, she never showed any true love to Thana, just some affection here and there. Her grades quickly began dropping around fourth grade as she refused to hand in homework on time, always coming in late to classes, becoming a school bully. Anything to get her father's attention. But the result was always the same-it was always Soli coming to parent-teacher meetings and meetings with the principal, and a short, scolding note from her father. Still nothing.

### A Monster Appears

But when Thana was in sixth grade, on her 11th birthday, she invited her only friend-June. Soli was at hand, but was busy preparing Thana's birthday dinner. While she was distracted, June told Thana to meet up in the bathroom-probably to spill a secret. So Thana followed June into the bathroom and watched as June closed the door-and locked it. Before Thana could react, June sprouted fangs and claws, and her blue eyes turned blood-red as she pounced, hoping for an easy demigod kill. But Thana reacted instantly-she grabbed the bathroom mirror and whacked the empousa right across the face, knocking her aside. The empousa got up, hissing, and Thana cried out in fear, clutching the wooden ring around her finger. Immediately, the wood lengthened into a three bladed sword. Without thinking, Thana sliced the empousa on the head, and the monster disintegrated with a howl. Thana thought she was going crazy as the staff shrank back down into a little ring on her finger. She rushed into her father's bedroom, looking for his room phone, when she saw a basket tucked into his closet. She almost missed it. On closer investigation, it was her birth basket, and she read the letter incredulously.

### Disowned later that day

She called her father and rambled on, saying she thought she was going nuts and asking about the letter. At the mention of the letter, her father grew angry and was convinced his daughter truly was insane. When he got home that night, he beat her, shouting how she was sputtering nonsense. He also shouted how he was ashamed of her rebellious ways, how she had dishonored the family. When she retaliated with equal venom, Thomas declared her disowned and slammed the door on her. Thana ran out-only to be caught by Soli. Soli said she would take care of Thana now, knowing Thomas never wanted a daughter anyway, especially one that was imperfect. After some talking, Soli took full responsibility for Thana, other than the fact that Thana still paid for her insurance and education. While Soli wanted to rename Thana, Thana wanted to keep her name, promising to make The Amada family proud another way

### A Life that Followed

The next year, while Thana was walking home from school, a hell hound emerged from the shadows of an alley and pounced at her. In a state of panic, Thana remembered her wooden band, and instantly it turned back into the sword, and she sliced the hell hound into golden dust. Thana was frightened, not sure what was happening to her. She remembered the mention of monsters in the letter, and driven by curiosity, instantly went to research on mythology. She never told Soli, for fear that Soli would think she was insane, but, although it took a while for Thana to wrap her head around it, she concluded that somehow, what she once thought was fantasy and myth was real. She studied up on mythical monsters and asked Soli for fighting lessons. When she asked why, Thana remained elusive. So Soli just went along with it and signed Thana up for fencing and martial arts. Through these lessons she figured out how to use her sword efficiently, trying to prepare herself if she was attacked again. Even though she was only attacked once or twice a month, she never let her guard down. She was always ambushed when she was alone. For a few years since the first attack, she managed well, only being attacked by minor monsters like hell hounds and empousae. She never told a soul.

### Coming to Camp

When she was 13 and she and her new friend Leika, a shy girl but three inches taller than Thana and had a habit of chewing her empty Coke cans, whom she met in school, were having a camp-out on Palm Springs for her birthday. However, as they swam in the swimming pool, watching the stars, a small flock of 3 harpies descended onto the two, scratching with their sharp talons. Leika saved Thana, and she revealed herself to be a satyr. Leika promised to explain everything to Soli, and brought Thana to Camp. Thana stayed in the Hermes Cabin for four weeks, before being claimed by Rán

## Personality

Thana has an unquenchable thirst for adventure-- she is willing to try almost anything at least once. Though it does not manifest itself as thrill-seeking, her desire to explore and discover new places and experiences has often led to what some may call "excessive and unnecessary risk-taking." Though she is extremely open-minded about trying new things, Thala's somewhat reckless and impulsive behavior has gotten her into a great deal of trouble in the past. She has developed something of a distaste for waiting, always on the edge of something new to explore the very next day. When she got to camp, Thana was a quiet, demure child. She didn’t want to talk to you and will not talk to you. She didn’t open up much and as such, she doesn’t judge the anti-social people in the world. She seems innocent and pure, but no one can ever tell if she is because she always declines the offer to speak. If you do get to know her, you will agree that Thana is a very eccentric child. She's off-putting, random, and frankly quite scary. She has the oddest voice, the oddest smile, and the oddest laugh. In addition to the fact that she talks about disturbing concepts as if it's normal, her emotions seem to be backwards, as she laughs when she should cry. Thana is actually very mystical and enigmatic . If you get to hear her talk for long enough you will be left with more questions about her. She has an aura shrouding her that covers her in mystery, and you can't help but wonder if she really is like how she behaves or if it's just a facade. As someone who tends to underestimate her own strength, it is not unusual for Thana to accidentally break a door while attempting to close it, particularly when she is exceptionally angry. She has a quick, furious temper and a scathing rage-- sometimes literally, as she tends to spew lightning from her hands when particularly infuriated. However, though she angers easily, she is not one to hold a grudge for very long. Sometimes it takes as few as fifteen or twenty minutes for her to "cool off." At times, Thana is sorta nice and at the same time mean. Thana She is friendly and kind sometimes yet others she is cocky, arrogant and sarcastic. But despite this, she is a good friend, loyal and adventurous, who will do it all for the safety of her loved ones.

### Fatal flaw

Thana's fatal flaw is her temper. She has trouble controlling her anger at times, and tends to jump to conclusions when ever she is upset. She is learning to control her temper

## Appearance
