## History

### Early Life

Moana de Mare was born to Cascade de Mare and Nethuns, the Etruscan god of the God of the sea, springs, water, earthquakes, storms, and horses (Basically Etruscan Poseidon) in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii on July 15, 2004. Cascade de Mare is a very famous surfer from Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. One day when she went surfing, she met a man named Julian Rivera. Julian and Cascade talked about surfing and how they like to take on big waves and other surfing stuff like that. They then started dating and that soon led to making love. Five days after, Julian disappeared from Cascade. The day after Julian left, Cascade had signs that she was pregnant with a baby. Cascade was really happy but also very sad because that day on, she never saw Julian again. After 9 months, Cascade bore a girl and she named her Moana. When Moana was in a daycare, Julian suddenly appeared and explained to Cascade who he really was. Julian told Cascade that he was actually Nethuns, god of the seas. He also explained to her that she will need to go to a special camp when she turns 14. Nethuns gave Cascade a trident necklace to give to their daughter when she grows old enough.

### Childhood

Moana lived a normal childhood in Kailua-Kona. She was taught surfing by her mother. Surfing was all of her life. Moana was a natural prodigy in surfing and goes for big competitions and is always the youngest competitor. When Moana turned 10, her mother got married to a man named Steve Williams. Steve is a professional surfer and is a son of Aphrodite.

### First Monster Encounter

At the age of 11, Moana had her first monster attack. A harpy attacked her out of nowhere. But luckily, Steve was there to protect her and disintegrated the harpy. Moana freaked out and Steve had to calm her down. When they got home, Steve told Moana that she may be a demigod which shocked Moana. Moana didn't want to believe it and ignored Steve and her mom for the rest of the year. But when she turned 12, Moana had a hell hound attack her. Steve disintegrated the hell hound though and Moana had no choice but to believe that she has demigod blood in her. Moana got really upset with her mother because her mother did not tell her of her true origins. Moana asked her mother why and her mother responded that it was to protect her. Steve thinks it's best that Irma gets a little bit of training done before she gets another monster attack. So for the next year, Irma trained really hard with Steve and had to quit surfing for awhile since the training took up most of her time. When she was almost 13 (like right before her birthday), a pit scorpion attacked her but she was by herself. She had no weapon but Nethuns' voice came in her head and told her to use her necklace. Moana did as told and took off her necklace. The necklace turned into a bow and she used that to disintegrate the scorpion. After the battle, Moana got a scar on her right shoulder and other smalls cuts. Moana didn't tell Steve or her mom that so that they wouldn't worry about her protection.

### Coming to Camp

After a few days Moana turned 14, a cyclops attacked her on her front doorstep. Moana was walking out the door from the front of her house and Steve's voice asked her to go with her to a place. Moana looked at the man and saw that he had one eye. Luckily, Steve was getting home and he saw the man too. He instantly new it was a Cyclopes and told Moana to get out her bow. Steve and Moana quickly disintegrated it but Moana got a broken ankle afterwards. (Steve fed her ambrosia and nectar though and the pain in Moana's leg.) But since the monster attacks are becoming a regular thing for Moana, which is bad for her since Moana has to get to places, Steve decided to take Moana to Camp Olympia. Cascade asked if that was some sort of special camp for people like Irma and Steve said yes. Moana packed her things and her parents took a train to camp with her. She said goodbye to her parents and stepped into camp. When she got to camp, she was placed in the Hermes Cabin and after a few days, was put in Cabin Mythos

## Personality

Moana de Mare is a spunky, cheerful, and very optimistic girl. She is very cocky and she often appears to be not that serious. She jokes a lot about almost anyone she meets.Unless you don't know, you wouldn't be able to tell if Moana was Nethuns’ daughter. But, she is definitely her father's daughter, she's an exact copy of him. She loves anything involving water or the ocean, she especially loves to go to the beach and catch some waves. She loves and cares for all types of sea creatures, her favorite is dolphins. She also, unfortunately, inherited her father's famed temper, which makes it hard for her to control some of her powers. Her temper makes it hard for her to gain control over her earthquake powers as they are directly linked to emotions. This makes her have to work on keeping calm most of the time and not get pissed. When she is angry, she snaps at anyone and it doesn't matter if they are friends, foe, or family, she snaps. It's insanely hard to get her to calm down - ask her family. Because of how her temper is linked to her earthquake powers, she has trouble letting out her emotions. Based on her emotions also depends on how powerful the earthquake is. The calmer she is, nearly nothing happens. But, the angrier she is, the more devastating her earthquake powers are. She's working on trying to stay calm and in control, but when you inherit your father's temper, and almost anything could make you snap, it's hard. Even though she is very much spoiled by her mother, Moana is nowhere being a spoiled brat. It's a mystery to why that is, but no one really notices or feels the need to ask. She holds high respect for her father and won't let anyone bad mouth him. Moana is very confident in her abilities, but that at times is also a flaw for her. She can underestimate people when training which results in her getting beaten and her getting angry. That is not a good combination. She is extremely loyal to her friends and family, always willing to stand by them. She shows her loyalty when she stood by Sapphire when they were having issues with what they were as a person, male or female. Despite her loyalty to friends and family, she will and can hold a grudge. She can hold a grudge for a long time and still does to this day with her brother, who broke her trident once. He quickly got it repaired but she still holds that grudge. In terms of romance, Moana usually is very confident and able to do anything, but it was hard considering her short temper and inability to control her emotions. But, that changed after meeting and falling for Oscar Vasquez (Vulcan’s son). She found it hard to just try to talk to Oscar. Moana "stands out from the crowd". She is sea-loving, headstrong, strong-willed, practically fearless, and physically capable. Though she has moments of self-doubt, she has great pride in who she is, and is generally too stubborn to back away from new challenges. All in all, Moana is a wonderful person.

### Fatal Flaw

Like all children of Poseidon and Neptune, and this goes for any child of Nethuns as well, Moana's fatal flaw is Loyalty. She would lay down her life for her friends if it meant they would be safe.

## Appearance

Moana is a beautiful girl of Polynesian (Hawiian) descent. At 17, Moana de Mare has a slender yet muscular build that does her well in battle. She has sea-green eyes with thick eyebrows, full brownish-pink lips, deep tanned skin, and long, wavy, black hair. Moana wears a sleeveless white dress with a lining of blue on the bottom. On her shoulders and around her neck, she has blue and teal-green armor and also around her waist acting as a belt with some going down to the end of her dress. She also wears a pair of white and blue wedge shoes with trident designs and netting.
