### **Overview**

Coraline is a rather quiet child, often times walled off in her own world or writing in her journals. While shy, she will talk to others if they approach her first, yet they must do so in a calm and nonthreatening manner. After the initial test, she will slowly begin to warm up to them if she finds them to be worthy of her trust, and overtime her true personality will come forth.

Upon fully befriending the child, she blossoms into that of a snapdragon; colorful and unique. She is bubbly and very caring, and will think of you as a guardian as well as family.

### **Biographical Information**

Coraline, born on the 28th of June in 2006, originally came from Sacramento, California. She lived there with her mother, step-father, and beloved brother, William Rowe. Coraline always looked up to her brother as a father figure, having grown close to him and essentially being raised by him. Her mother was also important to her, and thus is why it pained Cora to see her with Shawn. Shawn didn't deserve her mother. He didn't deserve them. Needless to say, she came to hate her step-father.

It wasn't until the day that Shawn had picked up the candle holder that she learned of her true parentage. She had been knocked out cold and carried to the camp by her brother who had known everything prior. When Cora awoke to see her brother looking over her in an unfamiliar room, she knew she was safe. She would know who she was.

### **Physical Information**

Coraline, standing at a height of four-foot-ten and weighing in at a mere 89 pounds, supports a rather small frame. The child was never really one for physical activities apart from swimming. She often opted to stay inside, or beneath a tree curled up with a good book. Perhaps it's why she never really tans apart from her natural complexion.

Cora's eyes resemble that of the sea near the shore on a clear day. They are a bright and luminous green, with a soft hue of teal. This color is framed by golden locks of blonde, falling in straight strands reaching to her mid-torso.

The last of her features are the most heavy. Scars, littering her body from head to toe with the most prominent being a large and nasty scar upon the nape of her neck.

### **Powers and Magical Items**

#### **Atmokinetic Sensory**

This gives Coraline the ability to sense storms and changes in the weather before they even occur.

#### **Zeus' Authority**

Children of the Big Three have a particularly strong scent to monsters. Thus, while the threat of her godly parent may repel weaker monsters, it only attracts strong monsters who would love to take a bite out of such a powerful force.

And so, this grants Cora the ability to summon venti to serve her for a limited time, as well as use her father as an advantage to negotiate with said monsters.

#### **Aerokinesis**

This grants Cora the ability to manipulate and create air or wind, and have limited control over venti. She can sense objects going through the air, such as birds or planes, and is generally resistant to wind based attacks. This also means she can maintain well in high pressured environments.

#### **Electrokinesis**

This grants Cora the power to generate and control electricity or lightning, such as using outlets to send electricity towards her enemies. She can also overcharge mechanisms that use electricity with a strong burst of power. Do to this power she is impervious to lighting and electricity, can predict where a lightning strike will land, and can sense electricity in the air.

### **Life Before Camp**

Coraline’s childhood was nothing less than a nightmare. Being the result of adultery between her own mother and Zeus, lead to a rather horrible living situation as she grew older. Seven years before Coraline was born, her mother had been with Zeus once before; this brought about her older brother William. Soon after, her mother had gotten married to a man by the name of Shawn Rowe. They lived a quiet life until the affair happened. Shawn became so blinded with rage and the feeling of betrayal, that he began to abuse the two; “he became a whole different person,” as her brother would say.

This went on for about seven years- a never ending cycle of neglect and ignorance; bruises and scars; shouting and yelling; crying and hiding- until one day Coraline’s brother couldn’t bear to stand witness any longer. On this particular occasion Shawn, drunk, had begun beating their mother, and when Cora tried to intervene, had taken up a heavyweight candlestick-holder made of glass. He then promptly smacked it into the back of Coraline’s neck, both breaking the glass and splitting her neck open, resulting in a nasty display of blood. Coraline was practically knocked out cold; a miracle that her neck wasn’t snapped and she wasn’t dead. After bearing witness to this, William decided enough was enough, and after a brutal show, Shawn was given a small taste of his own medicine- only the end result was a lot more permanent than just a bruise or a scar.

With Coraline now unconscious in a minor coma on the floor and his mother in hysteria, Willaim decided it was time for them to leave and make way for Camp Half-Blood where he knew Cora would be safe. After packing their belongings and and saying goodbye to their mother, William scooped Coraline off the couch- now patched and stable thanks to mommy dearest. He would bundle her in one of his hoodies and leave the house, en route to the airport.

Once they landed in New York the trip was quite simple- find their way to the forest and to the borders of camp. Thus it was- William found no trouble in navigating the blocks and subways of New York and eventually to the forest of Island Sound. However, it was here that his trip met with conflict. With Zeus children roaming the state, and one so feeble and vulnerable, it was no surprise that monsters were able to track them down. So close to the camp and yet so far, a chimera would intercept the man. It would stalk from the trees and pounce out before him, leaving William in a state of disarray- with nothing to defend himself and his unconcious baby sister within his arms. He froze, and the chimera saw his window. It would charge and knock the two to the ground- Cora being thrown to the side and thankfully out of the beasts immediate gaze. It’s focus was on William, and William was in a daze. It then took it’s next move, clawing at the man with ferocious talons upon his stomach. William was able to come to and move just enough the the claws to not kill him on the spot… however they cut deep. In pain he shouted out and called upon the will of his Father’s authority. The beast froze… and sat.

For a brief moment William just stared in shock at his abilities. The beast now just staring him down with blood thirsty eyes. It made him chill to the bone, and he struggled to get up.. The wounds were horrid… and he knew they were critical, but he knew he had to keep moving for his sister’s sake. Thus with the adrenaline rushing through him he staggered to her side and lifted her. It hurt. It hurt like hell. But he needed to get her inside. So he did. Staggering through the border he spotted campers at their post. Here he set his sister down and knelt to the ground, just about collapsing to the luscious grass below. He called out and they came, helping him and his sister to the infirmary- but there was nothing they could do for him. The cuts were deep and he had lost so much blood. He was fading- in and out of consciousness… before the world eventually claimed his soul.

Days later, Coraline opened her eyes, only to find herself in the Camp Half-Blood’s infirmary with her brother nowhere to be seen.

### **Life During Camp**

The girl struggled for the next six years to find her place within this new and forgien place. She had no one to lean on and no one to guide her… and she felt all was lost. Over time members of the Zeus Cabin were able to befriend her and she felt safer, but she knew she no one would ever replace the void William left.
