## History

### Early Life

Naida Kelly was born to Manannán God of The Oceans, The Seas and Storms and Rhea Kelly in Galway, Ireland on June 19, 2004. Rhea and Naida's father met while while Rhea was walking by the ocean, and they got very close. After a while, she got suspicious of him constantly leaving. When she would start questioning him, he would panic and leave. Eventually, she got fed up with it and told him that unless he explained, she would leave and not come back. He finally told her he was a god and what and where Camp Olympia, so he left before Naida was born. They were together for about 1 year before he left, and he left and never came back, though she knew he was a god.

### Childhood

Even at a young age, Naida always wondered what had happened to her dad. Her mom told her that he died in a car crash, but she didn't believe her, because she had a feeling that he was still alive. Growing up with a single mom was hard for her since her mom didn't earn much money working as a teacher her mom worked a part-time job in a bakery. As a result, she didn't get as much attention as she would like from her mom, but she was grateful for what she had. In school, she was different from the other kids. For example, when she was in 5th grade, someone was teasing her. She felt anger bubbling up inside of her, and just as she was about to burst, the water fountain next to her burst instead, yet she remained dry.

### A strange encounter

When she was 10, she was walking home from school and she took a shortcut that went through an alley, where she saw a man huddled in a corner. She walked over to him, and he suddenly grew larger, and eventually morphed into a baby Cyclops. She was in shock, and she dropped her bag on the ground, and her necklace came undone and fell. As soon as it hit the ground, it turned into a bow and arrow with her name engraved on the handle. The necklace was a gift from her father who had given it to her mother to give to her, but it was enchanted so if she lost it, it would come back to her. She hadn't payed any attention to it before. She shot an arrow it at the Cyclops, and out of pure luck she hit it, and it disintegrated. She ran all the way back home before it could recover.

### Coming to Camp

She didn't tell her mom what had happened, but four years after the attack, her mom decided it was time for her to know she is a demigod anyways. Naida was in denial for a little while, and refused to even go out of her room, but she came around and realized she was just acting childish. Her mom took her to Camp Olympia, but they were attacked by a Harpie on the way. Luckily, they were just at the bottom of the hill of Camp Olympia. Naida made a run for it, barely making it onto the camp grounds before the Harpie could catch her. Her mom had already sped off and she was long gone. As soon as Naida crossed the camper borders, she was claimed by her father and moved in to Cabin Mythos.

## Personality

Naida is a very bold, brave, daring, courageous, stubborn, rebellious, and headstrong girl. She is very athletic and enjoys nothing more than riding her horse, practicing archery and swimming. Naida is a feisty, adventurous spirit who wants nothing more than to have fun. She is very brave and bold, and quite fearless in the face of danger. However, her recklessness and daring often tends to get her into trouble. Her desire to be fierce leads her to sometimes act tougher than she is, but she does enjoy meeting and mingling with others. Despite her stubborn, headstrong manner, she is very open to trying new things, and enjoys experiencing the different and exciting. Her competitive and strong nature gives Naida a desire to do her very best and come out on top. Rest assured, she is a bold leader, risk-taking challenger, and a loyal friend. Naida is social, friendly, and loves to talk to any newcomer that comes her way. She thinks that being ultra nice to people will further open them up to conversation. She is described to be bubbly, which sends positivity to anyone she interacts with. She can get nervous when it comes to big events, such as swim meets. She sometimes depends on the support from loved ones to ignite her even more. Naida commands an air of independence. She says she likes, she does what she likes, and she has a hard time taking instructions or demands from other people. Such an air can be mistaken for confidence, and it's this confidence that allows her to control a space. She is able to project her voice, to say pretty phrases, to convince people that she is capable and clever. Because of this, she has a tendency to prefer words over action, and would not dirty her hands if she can help it. Naida is an energetic kid that can be very generous and is open-minded at almost every chance she gets. You sometimes see her bouncing around the halls at 7am due to her energetic personality. Naida is also very social and loves to talk to others and meet new people, though they do get confused when she starts speaking Irish. Naida is rather friendly, even if she does have a bit of a 'bite' to her. She's sarcastic and doesn't take very well to being bossed around by her peers, and her temper can get a bit out of hand if enough frustration builds up. The one skill they've managed to master is biting their tongue when it comes to talking back. Some people just aren't worth it. She's got intense levels of creativity, she loves to create and make and experiment with things. As such, things like calculus tend to lose her attention rather quickly. She's a quick thinker, and good at improvising, but she gets fidgety if she has to stay focused on something like reviewing for too long, inversely, she can focus on basically anything artistic for insanely long periods of time, bordering on unhealthy. She's dedicated to her work, and she always keeps her promises. She's very analytical when she wants to be, and it's difficult for her to be charmed simply by flirting, as her goal is to find love, and flirting tends to fail when attempted with her. She doesn't mind the attention but she much prefers to actually interact and banter than be flirted with. Naida is super nice. She is the type of friend who will help you get ready for any event you have and make you look amazing. She loves to give spontaneous makeovers and she is good at them. Naida is really bubbly and likes to talk to people. She is definitely an extrovert. Naida is a good friend and she will give you a good scolding if you diss her friends. She is the friend that will balance every negative statement you make about yourself with a positive one. She will not let you tear yourself down. She is extremely independent and will try her best to figure things out on her own before she asks for help. She is not much of a team player because she believes that if you're on a team, you rely on your team instead of pulling your weight. That said, if she is forced to join a team she will definitely pull her weight, and try her best to be involved.

### Fatal flaw
