## History

### Early Life

Talia Prevost was born to Isai Prevost, a mortal man and Ceres, Roman goddess of agriculture, the earth, fertile soil, harvest and the sacred law, climate, weather and the seasons, nourishment, bread, fruit, plants and nature on May 5, 2004 in Kyiv, Ukraine. Talia's parents met when her father, Isai Prevost, took one of his weekly photography trips to a beautiful field of grain. While he was taking pictures, he saw a gorgeous young woman dancing and twirling around aimlessly. He continued to take pictures of the girl, clearly fascinated by her. Isai decided to confront the girl. When she turned to face him, he saw a beautiful majestic face. They both ended up laughing and talking all day. They danced around the field of grain like they were kids again. From then on, it was true love. After a long time of being together, Talia's mother mother told Isai that she was infact a goddess.

When Talia was born, flowers seemed to turn to the grinning baby and smile. Talia didn't cry when she was born, she was born happy. Her parents looked down at her in glee. Unfortunately, Talia's mother would have to leave soon. But they didn't want to think about that right now. All they wanted to do was celebrate the arrival of their newborn child. While Talia was asleep in a small cradle next to them in the meadow filled with grass and flowers, her mother gave Daniel a special weapon to give to Talia once she was "ready".

### Childhood

Talia's early childhood was great. Except for the fact that her mother left a couple months after Talia was born. Talia had lots of friends. She had sleepovers almost everyday! When her father had time off from his photography job that he would take her to every day, he would take her to the same field of grain where he met her mother, and describe all the lovely moments he had with her. When Talia was only 7 she was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. It made school a lot harder than it originally was. When Talia turned 8, she quickly realized she was special. When she would tend to the garden in the backyard with her father, the flowers bloomed immediately when she got near, or touched them. I guess you could say Talia's early childhood to be imperfectly perfect.

### Monster Encounter

Talia's first monster attack was when she was nine. She was going to a museum with her whole school. Talia decided it was getting boring so she left the group to go outside. All of a sudden she saw a hideous creature running to her. Or *slithering* towards her. Apparently it was a *dracanae*. Somehow, while Talia was running for her life, she managed to will the vines hanging from the trees around her to wrap around the monster. The *drachnae* was completely wrapped, and tangled in the vines making it impossible for it to get to Talia. Talia's second monster attack was around the time she turned ten. While she was sitting outside in the shade of the trees, a rather large dog came bounding towards her. It was a Hell hound. Talia immediately got up and ran away from the monster. She managed to somehow shoot the thing with sharp poisonous pine that erupted from her hands which caused it to fall to the ground paralysed. The way the beast looked at her terrified her. It's eyes where piercing and glaring at Talia. Her third attack before getting camp was a weird bird creature, called a harpy. Talia was relaxing in a nearby park all by her self when she heard squawking and looked up to see a horrendous monster flying towards her. Her eyes went wide open and she put up her arms for defense, not knowing what to do. All of sudden the squawking stopped. The bird laid on the ground paralysed from the poison pine that emitted from her hands. She immediately told her father, but he said they were all her imagination running wild.

### Finally coming to Camp

The way Talia got to camp was on foot. Her satyr, Jeremy who she just recently met, wisked her away one day at the age of thirteen, but not before she confronted her father about everything. He told Talia the truth that she was a demigod. Once Talia and her father said their goodbyes, and Isai gave Talia a medium size sword to take with her, she continued on her trip to Camp Olympia sed her **weird power things** as she calls them. Jeremy had to continuously calm Talia down after each monster attack. After a very long and tiring trip (going by boat to get to America), they both decided they needed some rest. They stopped by a nearby oak tree. After they both caught their breath, they continued on their long journey to Camp Olympia. They eventually got to camp safe and sound. Once Talia walked into camp, she was immediately claimed and welcomed by her half-brother.

## Personality

Talia is, first and foremost, a gentle and kind girl who always looks forward to being nice and delicate to everyone around her. She is truly soft and smooth in her words and actions, and always has a bright smile on her face that can melt the most terrible frost giants. Talia has a calm, loving voice that will assure everyone that everything's going to be okay, and always sees the positive part of situations, rather than the bad ones. She considers herself to be extremely lucky for the life she has and wants others to see the qualities of their lives as well. The daughter of Ceres has a generous and altruistic soul, and often forgets herself and her own good in order to provide others what they need and what they want. She is far more concerned with the needs and wishes of those around her than her own and, therefore, it makes her an excellent warrior who loves to work in a group in favor of her partners. Her half-brother often tells her that she should be more concerned about herself, but Talia simply can't help it. If she has the opportunity of donating herself for the well-being of others, she will do so. Calm and chill, Talia rarely gets stressed and works as the one responsible for calming her friends down when they're stressed or fighting. She rarely or never shows any nervousness or anger and likes to be an example of a serene girl. Talia is much of a peacemaker and anyone will feel at peace in her presence, due to her tranquil nature. Talia believes in justice above all things, and has been taught to do so ever since she was a kid. Isai made sure to raise his daughter to be honest and honorable, and to follow the rules above anything else. Talia will fight for justice until her last breath, and she could pretty much be considered a lawful good lady who, within the rules, works to bring what is best for everyone. When you're supposed to choose those who will live forever in Elysium, you must have fair behavior and treatment. This trait of her personality can be contrasting to how merciful and compassionate Talia actually is. It isn't hard for her to forgive people, though she is aware that they will have to face the consequences because of something they might have done. While she tries to balance both aspects of her nature, she tends to rely more on her heart and compassion quite often. On the negative parts of her personality, Talia can be rather unsure of herself and quite insecure, even though she doesn't actively show it often. She's always checking on herself; on how she looks, how she acts, what she says, what she does. This leads her to be a little more anxious than she probably should, and concerned about mostly everything about herself. Ceres’ daughter can be too harsh on herself and there is no one expecting more from her than Talia herself. She constantly needs to be assured that she is enough for those she loves, and that they truly like her - otherwise, she might think they secretly hate her. In addition, Talia is very intelligent and smart, and likes to help people out by tutoring and studying with them. She likes to think she's a fairly good teacher and, as such, is a very supportive friend who likes to see everyone achieving their goals. She isn't the type who tries to grab the spotlight and would rather let people shine while she's in the background. Of course, though, her friends are always trying to give Talia a special spot, and helping her see her true worth.

### Fatal flaw

Talia's fatal flaw is her Loyalty, since she would do anything to keep her friends safe.

## Appearance

Talia is often described as beautiful as a rose. She is a seventeen year old girl of Afro-Ukrainian descent and is described as having smooth dark brown skin, dark brown hair tied in dread-locks and shining green eyes. She is often seen wearing a red floral dress, black leggings with flowers on them, and green and white shoes.
