## History

### Early Life

Avery Weiss was born to Kenneth Weiss, a mortal and Aglaia, goddess of elegance, beauty, brightness, and splendor, in Jefferson City, Missouri on March 10, 2004. Kenneth Weiss, a playwright living in Jefferson City, Missouri and working in a theater, was taking down decorations from a previous play done a few nights ago. A young woman with a pretty face came and offered to help him and as the two took the decorations down, they chatted and talked. The pair found that they had more than a couple things in common and they went to a small cafe across the street. There, the young woman told him who she really was; Aglaea, goddess of joy. It didn't take long for Kenneth to fall for the joyous goddess and soon a baby girl was born from their union. To Kenneth’s dismay, the pretty and jubilant goddess had left, leaving only one request: for the baby girl´s name to be Avery, after Avery Brooks, an actor, director, singer, and educator.

### Childhood

Kenneth cared for Avery and treated her as a princess for he was quite a rich man. The girl grew up in Jefferson City, and went to Miss Jane´s Academy. There, she was very popular since everyone just seemed happy to be in her presence, they also said she was very pretty and "they'd like to have her prettiness". also was good at making decorations, something that just came naturally to her. She was also living proof to validate the quote, "diamonds are a girl's best friend", loving gems of all colors and sizes. She was diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD but it didn't seem like it made her any less likable, people, teachers and students alike just seemed to like her. At the age of nine, Kenneth  started talking to his daughter about Greek myths only he implied that they were somewhat real. He told her that she was related to one of them, a certain female goddess of joy.

### Monster Attack and Coming to Camp

One day, at the age of 12, Avery was at home alone due to a funeral that her father was attending in a town two hours away. The young girl was trying to sleep but she heard snapping and crunching sounds coming from outside, so she went outside. She followed the loud chomping sounds to the forest behind her home when she saw a monster. It was a bird, the size of a chubby pigeon. It had black wings but the feathers on the tips looked bathed in gold. It had black eyes and it was devouring some kind of animal corpse. The girl screamed and ran into her home, the Stymphalian bird flying after her, its eyes murderous. She tried to hide but she remembered something her father had told her. He had shown her a golden dagger and said that it would be in his bedroom, waiting for her time of need. The brunette ran up to her father's bedroom, the loud and dangerous bird shattering glass,launching sharp feathers all over the place. She searched for the dagger and when she found it she unsheathed it. She rolled away as the bird barreled toward her. Its wings were lodged into the wood of the wall, it flailed, and cried out.

Avery raised the dagger up and then plunged it into the head of the bird. It vaporized to sulfuric dust and she did the same with the last one. And she dropped the dagger,looked at the yellowish powder that was on the floor. Stymphalian birds, it was real. The myths, the gods....the monsters. It was too much. She quickly ran and got $350 she had saved up from her bedroom, a backpack and she stuffed a picture of her dad and the wad of cash into the backpack. She contemplated going to her father but no, if she went to him maybe more monsters would come and they might hurt him...no. Avery, once she arrived in a small town named , met a goat boy. He was tall, strong with green eyes and curly hair. His name was Vinnie and he revealed to her goat horns, furry legs and hooves. He called himself a "satyr" and told her he was going to take her to a place where she would be safe from the monsters and that all would be well. She reluctantly complied and once they made it out of town, in a large field of ferns and grass, they were attacked by harpies.

Vinnie pulled out a set of pipes and started playing a song that made the grass grow and reach up trying to smack and ensnare the bird women. Avery unheated her dagger and stabbed two harpies that were screaming and trying to get out from the iron-hard grip of the grass blades. The other ones screamed and frantically flew off, cawing and leaving Avery with only some scars. Avery 13th in Sacramento, Vinnie being quite happy, even sneaking into a bakery and bringing her a cupcake.They made it to Los Angeles, and Vinnie and Avery boarded a small bus with the letters CO and he assured her they were close. They arrived at Big Bear and walked from there until they neared a place Vinnie called “Camp Olympia '' They arrived and when they did Avery was surprised at what they told her. Greek Gods, centaurs, nymphs...all true. Avery made amends with her father while she and Vinnie were in California , he is currently trying to make arrangements for her to visit Jefferson City. Upon arriving, Vinnie gave her a small little welcoming gift; a sterling silver charm bracelet that when a certain twinkling ruby is turned clockwise, a Celestial Bronze sword with a red ruby encrusted in the middle of the cross guard. She wears it all day, all hours. She was soon claimed Aglaia and became the fourteenth member of the trix

## Personality

Avery is very loud, opinionated, and challenging with cooperation. She is hot-headed, impatient, and bossy. She also considers herself better than Aubrey and Hera herself, though she would never say it out loud. Avery is also an independent, unpredictable, and quite a confident girl. She is courageous most of the time, spontaneous, extroverted, and curious about new experiences. Avery is what most would call a "free spirit"; she follows her own path, wherever it may take her, never mind what anyone else says about it. Most often, that path takes her towards things she thinks are fun, like parties and outdoor sports and making as many new friends as possible, and above all, making things. She takes on every new challenge with a carefree grin and a steeled look in her eye, the only thing belying her stubbornness: she rarely, if ever, backs down on something she's already made a decision on, whether that's an opinion or an action. If evidence is overwhelmingly against her opinion, then she might change it, but otherwise she might as well be a stone wall at times. Ironically, she's significantly more flexible in other things, like daily plans and life goals and such things. When she makes a decision she sticks to it, but she usually waits until the last moment to make said decision so she can keep her options open. For her friends this is no big deal, it just means they have to remember that "plans" with her are subject to change (but they're rarely boring or cancelled outright); for jobs, however, it makes her a bit unreliable, as she may be late with little warning. She has rarely stayed in one job long, though, so she's never seen fit to change it; the only exception is her current passion project, her group of world folk decorators . For them, she tries to be as consistent as possible and make set decisions earlier than usual. All this being said, when it comes to the smaller issues, Avery *loves* to debate, just for the fun of debating itself! She'll argue for or against anything you can think of, and some things you can't, just to get a discussion going. She doesn't want to change your opinion (unless it's on the rare occasion of something very important to her), she just wants you to think it through as an opinion and gives you arguments against it to dissect and argue against. It made her a very effective debate club member at her current high school
