 In-Depth Information

### **Overview**

Siv can typically be found in party settings, or chilling by her lonesome with a bottle of liquor. She’s extremely expressive and outgoing, but when you take a moment to reflect on your interactions with her one will find that she is very closed off about most of her past and personal life.

Even so she is a wonderful person to be around, and a good friend to have. Although, she quite enjoys mischief, so one might find themselves having to keep her out of it.

### **Biographical Information**

Siv, born on the 31st of May in 2001, originally came from Fort Collins, Colorado. She lived there with her father, of whom she was extremely close to. Eventually her father married a woman by the name of Neveah Payne, and she brought with her two new step-siblings, Aurora and Belladonna. Neveah and Siv did not get along well, not did the woman treat her own kids kindly, and the fact that her dad seemed oblivious to this caused a small rift between the two.

It wasn't until she followed the twins and ran off that she ultimately found herself kidnapped by fellow demititans, and taken to Camp Othrys. Here she remained until she was allowed to leave, and in doing so followed a group of others to Camp Half-Blood.

### **Physical Information**

Siv, standing at a height of five-foot-two and weighing in at a mere 142 pounds, supports a rather athletic form. Despite being such a small and delicate woman, Siv spent a lot of her time in Camp Othrys training with the other demititans. She would often times end up sparring, fighting in the warm heat of the sun, where she also obtained her sun-kissed tan.

Siv's eyes are of a dark blue, yet in the sun they sparkle heavily with hues of a lighter shade. Her hair, of which frames her face, falls in platinum waves reaching to the top of her chest. Her hair, too, shines of different hues when standing in the sun; most often amber.

The last of her notable features are the old and faded scars that scatter sparsely across her body, as well as the tattoo. It is of three identical betta fish placed in an artistic circle upon her forearm. The coloring was in watercolor fashion, using a mix of blacks, blues and purples.

### **Powers and Magical Items**

#### **Memory Psionics**

This gives Siv the ability to look at others and ‘remember’ what they remember, as well as touch an object and see its history or "memories". She can channel this ability further to see where the object has been, how the object functions, who used the object last and events that happened around the object as well, as if she were physically there. The ability also allows her to use the language of ‘allspeak,’ which allows her to not only communicate with other languages, but also monsters and wild animals, as well as gaining a photographic memory.

### **Life Before Camp**

In late summer, on the 31st of May, 2001, Erin Lahti and an unknown woman gave birth to a child given the name Siv Arielis Lahti. During the pregnancy the mother had fallen ill and stayed behind at the hospital, encouraging Siv’s father to return home. However, the mother never returned. She had checked herself out of the hospital that same night and seemed to vanish off the face of the earth. Thus, Siv’s father was left alone to care for the result of his night out. One would imagine that he would harbor hate towards the woman who deserted her own flesh and blood, which he did, and then more for the offspring of his mistake. Yet he didn’t. He had fallen in love with the child as soon as he first held her, and he, unlike the mother, would bear full responsibility for his actions and care for her like his daughter, because that’s exactly what she was. And so he did.

Siv grew up in a relatively nice home and neighborhood of Fort Collins, Colorado. She attended public schools, starting a year earlier than most of her classmates. This and her younger sense of personality led to minor comments, some that most people would consider bullying, but Siv didn’t usually pay mind to them. Siv was too caught up in her schooling to care, often getting straight As and even principal awards.

In her freetime she often spent time with her father either playing video games or going out in the yard and helping him with chores. However her cozy little life changed on one Tuesday afternoon on a trip to the grocery store her father ran into a woman by the name of Naveah Payne. They had talked for a while while in the checkout line, though Siv didn’t think much of it at first. However, her life would change drastically after this encounter.

Her father had exchanged contact information with this woman, who had just recently moved down to Colorado for a job offer. They began to talk increasingly often, and would get together and eventually went on dates. This went on for a few months before the big question was posed, and they got married. By this time Siv had gotten to know Nevaeh and her two twin children, Aurora and Belladonna, who went by Bella. The three became fast friends and ended up being flower girls at the wedding.

After they got married, the five moved into a bigger house-as the one they had both settled in, the two went on their honeymoon, the three girls became closer, During the next few years of their marriage. Erin saw that the three girls were close-very close-happy the three girls got close to each other super fast, he consented to the girls getting tattoos. All three of them picked out an inner arm tattoo of three betta fish. To show that they would always be together through thick and thin. their life was good. But this is when it takes a bigger turn. A few years into their marriage Neaveh picks up her old drinking once again. This caused Siv to see Neaveh’s abusive side towards Aurora and Belladonna. Neaveh never abused Siv, because if she landed a finger on Siv, Erin would leave her. But, that doesn’t mean she didn’t mentally abuse her. Those two got into a lot of fights when Nevaeah was drunk. Which took the spotlight off of the two twins-which they were thankful for-but, caused more fighting in the house while Erin was away. However, because of this Siv began sneaking out and attending parties around town, to drown the problems and to get away from Neveah.

It was another mistake from their mother that made her daughters leave her. Their mother had of course gotten drunk when Erin was away on a long business trip out of state. The stress of her work had gotten too much for her, causing her to snap. It was so much that the two girls took their saved cash and ran away, taking Siv along with them,  from their crazy mother. They  made their way onto a bus ride that took them to Pennsylvania, taking about 48 hours, however in the end they got there. The girls had stopped at a small store to replenish on snacks so they didn't starve. Siv had been outside while the two younger twins were inside. However when the two had finished and were outside, Siv was nowhere to be found.

While she was waiting a group of teens, about five years older than her, had come up and surrounded her. At first Siv thought they were just there to mess with her so she simply tried to brush past them. However this is when it took a turn. They grabbed hold of her and kept her from passing, pushing her back against the wall. They began chittering amongst themselves before nodding in agreement. They had made a decision to, well, kidnap her. The group had been of Demititan children, having picked up on Siv’s aura. They were known for wandering the outside world and taking kids back to the camp regardless of their willingness to go, and typically without even asking. It wasn’t a pleasant ride, leaving her with many scrapes and gashes as she struggled to return to her step sisters. However, it was to no avail. She felt a sharp pain in her temple and then her world went dark.

### **Life During Camp**

After arriving and awakening in camp, she was forced into training once more against her will. It was rigorous and left her with severe lack of sleep and consistently sore muscles. This led to her picking back up her own drinking habit against her better judgement, and she began to show rebellious tendencies and a taste for mischief and the party scene. She often snuck off with the few friends she had made to parties on the surrounding Florida beaches.

This went on for a year or two. Siv tried her best to stay off the front lines, and was more or less successful, surviving to see peace reached for the last time. This is where she was finally given the option to leave, and she left with a small group of fellow titans to trek their way to Camp-Half Blood. This is where her story begins.
