## History

### Early Life

Opal Ahmed was born to Geb, God of The Earth, Mines, Precious Metals and Gems and Samira Ahmed, a clear sighted mortal woman in Sacramento, California on February 27, 2004. Samira was a well to do woman. She did not work and she had inherited all her money and already had two children named Zak and Rida. She loved sports and enjoyed learning and trying out new sports and games. She was at her friends party where she met Adrian, who was really Geb. She liked him and enjoyed his company. When she was leaving Adrian said he'd drop her home and they left together. She was very drunk that night and they ended up in bed. Soon afterwards she found out that she was pregnant. She had always wanted another kid and was happy and told the two they would have a new siblings. When her child was born she decided to name her Opal.

### Childhood

Now, Opal was the third grandchild of the family, and she grew up adored by the rest of her family. As she grew up, she was expected to be *perfect*. This was her life, and at first, she saw nothing wrong with it. Her family loved her! They loved her getting good grades, they loved her for looking her best and being respectful and responsible. Her mother placed very high expectations on Opal, and to have to be the “perfect golden child” of the family. Due to the pressure, Opal grew up with the enormous pressure of having to meet the expectations of others and hid her insecurities so as not to disappoint her family. Once she began to get older, she secretly began to loath her family and her "perfect life". Opal would put on a fake smile for her family, but once she was in her room, alone, the smile would drop and she would think very angry thoughts. By the time Opal was eight, she was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia, which made he family a little...apprehensive as Opal was no longer, had perfect mental health, but she always tried her best and didn't let this interfere in her studies. She was good at sports and never let her mother down. She was a like able person and made quite a few good friends. She could play most sports very well. She used to get into trouble often because of starting fights but somehow managed to wriggle out out the problems.She was a quick learner and despite her bad record teachers used to like her.

### First Monster Attack

Opal was eleven years old at that time. She was returning home from school. She was attacked by a harpy. She ran screaming from the harpy. Her neighbor and a demigod from her school heard her shouts and saw what was happening. She took out her sword and attcked the harpy, disintegrating it, The demigod, Rita, explained about demigods to Opal and took her home. She gifted Opal a hair clip which was actually a sword. Rita tried to tell Samira that Opal had to go to Camp but Samira didn't understand the danger, and, her mother didn't want her to leave. Nevertheless, Rita now stayed close to Opal to make sure nothing happened to her.

### Second Attack

Opal encountered one more monster a few months later, a hell hound, this time too Rita was there nearby. It happened as they were cycling near the park when the monster came. Rita drew her sword. Rita attacked the monster so that Opal could flee. She stabbed at its legs and then disintegrated it. Rita tried her best to convince Samira but she couldn't bear leaving her daughter. Opal realized it was dangerous to stay like this for long but wanted to stay with her family

### Coming to Camp

This attack happened about almost a two years later. Opal and Samira were returning home after watching a movie when a hell hound attacked them near the house. Opal, unsure what to do, draws her sword. The monster lunges and she panicked and swung the sword at its legs. Opal only manages a few shallow cuts but still runs. The hell hound swipes and though OPal tried to escape she got scratched. Opal was still alive but injured. Samira had started screaming and her screams were heard by her neighbor, Rita. She saw what was going on and attacked the hell hound and after a a good fight stabs it in the heart.. Megan was taken to a hospital and she was healed. Samira was finally convinced that Opal had to go. Opal left for camp with Rita. Megan reached camp safely without meeting any monsters and is living there happily. Happy to be away from her family and their expectations

## Personality

Opal is nerdy and spouts facts about nearly everything she sees, as on the streets there wasn't much chance to learn anything, so she spent lots of time researching everything. She loves joking around and laughing. She spends her spare time writing her book or practicing swordplay. Opal is the perfect younger daughter, according to her mother. She's kind and optimistic, selfless and caring, helpful, and encouraging- what better person to be blessed with the ability to control precious metals. And, well…Opal hates it. Don't get me wrong, she has no intention of being vain or cruel or whatnot, but the countless times she has affectionately been called "the perfect kind sister" or anything of that variation is... Irritating, to say the least. She despises her destiny, and would do anything to give it up, and yet all she ever hears is Perfect, Perfect, Perfect. Opal wants nothing to do with “Perfection”, but to Opal, that’s all she is. Though, it's not necessarily false in any sense. Above all else, Opal is selfless. Even as just a child, everyone noted how much of a big heart she has. She is kind and caring, raised by her mother to always lend a comforting hand to those who need it. She's one to put everyone else's needs in front of her own, from minor things such as making time to help others and sacrificing her personal free time, to risking her and her entire families' reputation. Of course, there's so much more to her than that. Opal is incredibly confident- in her beliefs, in the way she dresses and presents herself, in everything she has and plans to do. She takes every step with pride, and keeps her head high at all times. Most would be surprised to learn that she was not always this confident in herself- during her younger years, she was shy and insecure and kept herself. But soon, after her first quest, Opal decided that's now how she wanted to live her life- and so, now here we are. Along with that, she's very steadfast and dedicated. Opal knows what she wants, and will stop at nothing to achieve the goals she sets. The main problem with this is that she can be very one track minded. Once she sets herself onto a goal, she tends to fixate on it until she reaches it, no matter how much time has to be spent on it or other more "important" things could be done. Opal also sets very high goals for herself, most that she really, logistically, could not reach. Still, she's going to try and try and try and try her very hardest to get close to the end. Opal, historically, has a problem with putting too much pressure on herself. Even if it's just the smallest thing like getting a perfect grade in her environmental magic class, to something much bigger such as ditching the entire legacy of Ahmed’s. In regards to the... bigger things such as that, Opal feels like it is her undeniable duty to prevent things from happening, prevent people from getting hurt. It's caused a lot of stress for her, as she lays awake feeling like she has to stop terrible things. Something she, a 17 year old girl can't do anything about. But she believes she has to do something. And going hand in hand with the one track minded, determined thing, she won't stop putting the pressure on herself, even it destroys her in the process. Opal is an incredibly talkative person, which most who've met her can attest her. She can go on and on and on about anything in the world... and often tends to forget about everyone around her. Opal, at times, loves causing chaos and mischief with her “Family” but above all else, Opal is a true friend, who is discovering who she is.

### Fatal flaw

Opal's fatal flaw is wrath. Opal is quick to anger and jumping to conclusions and is also slow to trust. Opal is of course to "greet the world with open arms".
