## History

### Early Life

Jewel Fregoso was born to Ruby and Onyx Fregoso, two mortals in Pierre, South Dakota on April 13, 2007, and her little brother, Jasper was born five years after her. Jewel comes from a rich and well-known family. Her father is a highly accomplished businessman and her mother is a social worker. When she was five years old, her pet hamster died, which resulted in her family calling Dr. Arkwright, a therapist, to help her get over her hamster's death. As she grew up, Jewel developed a rocky relationship with her parents, especially her father because of his business tears down wildlife. Her father's actions played a part in the fading of the wildlife god Pan. By the time she was six, her family had moved to London.

### Found by Aubrey

A few weeks after ‘Thief of Thunder and Lightning’, a seven year old Jewel had somewhat run away from her parents since their relationship had gotten worse. As she wandered the city she met a ten year old girl named Aubrey who offered to take her to her “summer camp” and because Jewel didn’t want to see her family anymore, she agreed. When they got there, Aubrey realized that Jewel could see through the mist. From then on, Jewel was raised around gods, weapons, monsters and the magical community. She began to look up to Aubrey as a mother figure and became good friends with Sadie Torres, a daughter of Bellona and Melody Potvin, a daughter of Apollo, who she saw as big sisters, however, she didn't stay for long, and Aubrey ended up taking her back home

### Demigod Encounters

Jewel spent her time back home, first meeting Caspian in the third story, at the age of 10, where he mistakes the sound of her blowing her nose for a skeleton soldier speaking. Alarmed, Caspian tries to run his sword through Jewel, but as a mortal, the sword does not harm her. Jewel was able to recognize the sword through the Mist, which dumbfounds Caspian. Shortly after that, the skeleton soldiers had caught up with Caspian. However, Jewel was able to save him by having him hide in the bathroom. Jewel directed the skeletons away from Percy, claiming she witnessed 'some guy with a sword' run the other direction. Believing her, the warriors left the two in pursuit of their prey. Just as they left, Jewel demanded a few questions from Caspian. She told him her name, and asked for his. Caspian, in a rush, left quickly before saying, 'Cassy, gotta go!' Caspian does not see Jewel again for the rest of time, and he assumed she lived near Hoover Dam. However, it is later revealed that she lives in California.

Jewel also plays her part in the fourth story. She meets Caspian viewing a tour of Schurr Highschool. Realizing who she was, he attempted to avoid her so she wouldn't ask too many questions. However, Jewel recognized him from her time in Hoover Dam. Right as she did, she spots Kelli and Tammi, realizing the two were monsters. Aware of the threat, she pulled Caspian away from the crowd to another room. Once alone, Caspian reveals the existence of the Ancient gods to Jewel. Just as he was going to tell her that he is a demigod, the cheerleaders discover their location and attack them, exposing themselves as empousa. Jewel was able to urge Caspian from their charm speak, which irritates them and prompts them to eat her. Their skirmish led to an explosion. Jewel was able to save Caspian again by leading him to the exit, where they come across Leo Guzman. Jewel urged Caspian to run and that she would make up a cover story. She writes her phone number on his hand with a permanent marker, telling him to call her, because he owes her an explanation, and much to Leo's dismay, Caspian ends up memorizing her number.

Later, after journeying through the Labyrinth, Caspian seeks for Jewel's help in navigating it, since only a mortal with clear sight could aid them. Jewel agreed to join Caspian and Melody, assuring them that no one would care about her absence. She also assists in helping them find the lost god Pan. When the team finally finds him on the brink of dying, the god shared words with each of them. Pan told Jewel that she would be just as important as her father was, which makes Jewel guilty, since her father was a reason why wildlife was withering away, thanks to his habit of buying up land and turning them into malls. After Pan's death, Rachel parts ways with Caspian, Melody, Evan, Clover, and Alexandra, but not before explaining her rich father, and how Pan's death affected her. She expresses interest in hanging out with Caspian again, to Leo's dismay. Caspian promises to call her and mentions that he has memorized her number, much to Jewel's delight.

Jewel also plays a very important part in the 5th story, writing a prophecy in sand and in Ancient Greek. She then flies in a helicopter to California, where she is saved by Leo who doesn't like her all that much. After that, Caspian decided to introduce her to his Aunt Hestia, who they found in front of her hearth. The goddess greeted Jewel, saying she had been expecting her. Hestia told her that to gain her place at the hearth, she must let go of her distractions to survive, and she understood. Caspian was confused and Jewel told him that she thought she was coming for him, but she wasn't. It was for a different reason. She said she was attracted to him because he opened her eyes to a new world, but she realized their fates weren't intertwined and that there was something else she truly wanted. Percy slowly realized she was dumping him. Leo then came and called Caspian to go. Caspian told Jewel to not do anything stupid, and she told Caspian that she would be okay if he saved the world. She then gets to camp once again, at talks with Zoe at the Big House. Soon, the oracle came into the doorway, and Rachel said she waited too long, and she was here now. Apollo then went up to Jewel and said she had the gift of prophecy but it was also a curse, and Aubrey asked if she was sure she wanted to do this. She said it was her destiny and that she accepted the risks. She pledged herself to Apollo and said that she accepted the Oracles spirit. The Spirit took hold in her, and she officially became the new Oracle. After the war, she utters the prophecy of the council and collapses. When well rested. She said she was still going to school and she would try to be a normal kid, though she was worried she would announce prophecies in school. She then kissed Caspian on the cheek to say goodbye, and followed Apollo into the big house where she would stay.

## Personality

Jewel is very artistic, witty, enthusiastic, bubbly, and kind. She enjoys volunteering for charity events to help schools in the area to keep their art programs open. Jewel can be very blunt at times and has a habit of talking a mile a minute. She is very courageous, throwing a hairbrush in the face of Kronos' host to escape and, like her parents, can be stubborn. Her best friend is Sadie and asks her constantly “What would be enough” Sadie’s always busy with something so Jewel wants to know what would be enough for her to stay. Other than that she can be stubborn much like her parents. She's rather humble as compared to others. Jewel is incredibly empathetic to inanimate objects, to the point she takes care of her plushies with extreme care. More on the sweeter and kind side hates being straight to the point on subjects. Jewel just wants to protect and help her friends, even if she isn't exactly the fighter type. She is worried and fearful that she'll be abandoned again and wishes that people could enjoy what they have when they have it.

### Fatal flaw

Jewel's fatal flaw is her stubbornness. She hates it when people treat her like she's a baby because she's so young and tries to do things on her own with out help.

## Appearance

Jewel is noted to be a young fourteen year old girl of cuban descent. She is described with warm tanned skin, long light brown hair tied in a ponytail or left down, green eyes, and freckles on her face. Jewel often wears white oversized tee shirts, jeans, and converse. She is also sometimes covered in paint or wears shirts that have gems on them.

## Powers and Abilities

### Oracle Abilities

* Though she is a mortal, Jewel can see parts of the future and the destinies of others. After the Second Titan War, Jewel took the soul of the Oracle to properly see the past and future, obtain fragments of truth, and make prophecies. However, she doesn't always remember what she said while she is talking possessed by the Spirit of Delphi.
* As the Oracle, Jewel is protected from many unfortunate events such as death even by the gods, though she can be cursed.
* Jewel has the power of Chrono Vision, meaning she can see any point in time, from only a few seconds or minutes into the future and/or past, up to events throughout time, whether that be along her own timeline or along with the timelines of others

### General Abilities

* Clear sight: Jewel has the ability to see through the Mist. Her ability is stronger even compared to demigods, to the point that she can navigate through the Labyrinth and foresee its various traps.
* Painting: Jewel can paint with her feet as well as with her hands. She has deep knowledge about historical paintings, to the point she could discuss with someone as smart as Damian. Jewel often uses painting as her medium for expressing her prophetic visions, painting the scenes that she has witnessed.
* Physical resistance: Jewel can stand still for extended periods of time while painted gold as a living statue. Wealth (limited): Jewel can use the influence of her father's wealth to arrange services although she rarely uses them.
* Throwing skills: Jewel has a very strong arm and good aim, being able to hit Kronos in the eye with a purple hair brush

## Relationships

### Friends

#### Aubrey Pena

Aubrey is known to be a mother figure to Jewel and often calls Jewel her youngest daughter (with Melody and Sadie being her other 'daughters'). Jewel is very close with Aubrey, Sadie and Melody (Think an SBI type dynamic). With Melody, they often make music together and talk about oracle things. With Sadie, she often trains with her, and often reminds her to take a break because Saide is so busy

#### Caspian Portal

Jewel found Caspian interesting from the moment they first met at the Hoover Dam. She agreed to help him in the Labyrinth, much to Leo's annoyance. She helps Caspian out when she can. Caspian and Jewel grew much closer between The War of the Labyrinth and The Final Olympian. He passes time with her when he needs time away from camp. Jewel genuinely cares for Caspian, to the point of making a deal with her father in order to travel home and tell him his real part in the Prophecy. Jewel showed signs of liking Caspian, but is aware of Leo's feelings for him as well and calls Caspian blind for not seeing it. When the two had to part, Jewel was happy when Caspian told her he remembered her phone number and they would hang out. Jewel later asked him what it would take for the dumb guy to kiss the girl, and Caspian finally realizes she liked him. They are interrupted however when Caspian has to go on a mission, causing Jewel much stress and aggravation, to the point of tossing darts at a picture of Caspian. However, she still came to his aid when she thought he was in trouble. While on Mount Olympus, Jewel thanks Caspian for showing her the world of gods and monsters, but their destinies aren't linked, meaning they wouldn't have a romantic future together. Caspian laughs and says he never had any romantic feelings for her, but calls her his "littler sister" and the two remain friends after Jewel becomes the Oracle.

### Family

#### Ruby and Onyx (Parents)

Her father is a land developer and her mother is a social worker, although she doesn't feel very comfortable around them. It is said that her parents hate several events they constantly do, like going to the beach, but they are too stubborn to admit it. Jewel strongly disagrees with the job her father does which consists of finding pieces of the wild and developing them. Because of that, she refuses to ask her father for money or use his influence unless she has no other choice. Her father wants her to go to a private school for her girls, but Jewel objectively denied wanting to go there, though she later made a deal with her father in The Final Olympians, so she currently attends the private school.

#### Jasper (Younger brother)

Jewel was rather close with her baby brother and feels bad that she had to leave him. She misses him dearly and wanted to protect him
