## History

### Early Life

Rhea Potvin was born to Phoebus, the roman god of The Sun, Music, Poetry, Light, Prophecies, Healing, Archery, and Knowledge and Aria Potvin, daughter of Asteria on June 8, 2008 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Four years prior to her, Rhea's older sister, Melody was born on January 17, 2004 and nine years prior to her, Rhea's oldest sister Loretta was born on April 7, 1999. Aria had met Apollo one night a bar hosting a karaoke night. Aria went on stage to sing one of her favorite songs and Apollo (disguised as a man with brown hair and blue eyes) watched from the audience. When she was finished and the next person had gone up, Apollo began to chat with Aria, not only loving her voice, but could also sense that she was a demigod. Aria knew who Apollo was, but didn't mind and the two began to fall in love with each other. They began to date each other, Apollo coming down from Olympus to be with Aria. Soon, Aria realized she was going to have a baby, and Apollo was . When their baby was born, Aria named her Loretta. In the next few years, the two would have two more kids together. In 2004, Apollo came to Aria, taking the form of a man with brown skin and blonde hair, but Aria could still see him for who he was and they would have their daughter, Melody. In 2008, Apollo took the form of his Roman counter part, Phoebus and went to Aria, who could still tell he was a god, and they had their third daughter, Rhea. After Rhea was born, Apollo knew he couldn't be with his family, and told his older daughters (who were nine at the time) that he would be going on a trip for a while, and left, never to be seen again. Aria was then left heart-broken by the sun god.

### Childhood/The Scar Incident

The three girls took the last name of their mother, however, their living conditions were harsh. They weren't allowed to leave the house, and prevented from going to school and were only allowed to visit family with their mother. When the older girls were nine and four, and Rhea was only a few months old their older cousins Adrian and Isabella came over who were eleven and ten at the time. It was during spring break and the five kids were in the kitchen. Both Adrian and Isabella were Middle children and jealous that Aria had loved all three equally even without having a dad. The two took Melody into a separate room claiming they wanted to give her a surprise, hiding two razor blades. The older kids told the younger to hold out her arms and close her eyes. She was expecting a surprise but instead was greeted with two sharp stings in both her arms and screamed. Loretta ran to the room and saw her cousins had given her a six-inch scar on each of Melody’s arms and she told her mom to call 911 which she did. She was taken to the hospital and the doctor said while her scars did heal they would be visible and there wasn’t anything he could do to get rid of them. Year after the Scar incident, when the girls were ten, five, and one their mother got married to a mortal man named Travis and had two sons, Shaun and Samuel. Since she was a demigod, Melody was a target for monsters which caused constant fighting between the sisters and her parents, her mom would also hit Melody and her sisters were too scared to do anything and became an alcoholic who felt that they were constantly putting everyone in danger.

During that time, their Aunt Ruby would take care of the five kids, and attempted to teach the three girls how to read. When Melody was seven years old, Loretta (who was 11 at the time), and Rhea who was two went to visit her mom’s side of the family where they played with her cousins while the adults talked. Loretta argued with cousins about her scars her cousins had caused her younger sister which caused a rift in the family that caused the separation between Lorretta, Melody, Rhea, and the rest of the family for many years. As mentioned before, the three girls were lock up in their own house, never to leave the house at all. As a result, the three weren't given the proper education a child would need (Melody mentioning how she herself could barley read or do basic math.). Loretta was given the role as care taker in her house, which caused a lot of pressure on her, but she mainly focused on her siblings, rather than Shaun and Samuel. When Loretta was twelve years old, she had gone into Melody's room to get her ready for the day, but discovered she was missing, not knowing that Melody had ran away. Loretta searched the whole house for her sister, but couldn't find her. Loretta called her aunt in a panic telling her that Melody was no where to be found. Ruby and Loretta put up missing poster signs, but Melody was never found.

### Coming to Camp

Rhea was five years old when she and Loretta came to camp. She and her sister had been playing in their house, their step-father and step-brothers were out of town and their mother passed out like usual. Unbeknownst to to Rhea, Loretta's mind wandered while Rhea played, thinking of her missing sister and *praying* that Melody would be okay. While her sister was thinking, Rhea went over to the door and opened it, and began to walk out of the house. Loretta gave chase to her younger sister, not wanting to lose her as well. When she finally caught up to Rhea, the two bumped into a satyr, who instantly sensed they were demigods. The satyr informed them of this, and Loretta, who was willing to do anything to get herself and Rhea out of their mother's house, agreed to come to camp with them. The two sisters were led to camp by the satyr and were claimed as daughters of Apollo. At camp, they reunited with Melody.

### Loretta's Death, Leaving Camp, and Death

When Rhea was thirteen years older, Loretta was visiting Camp to see her sisters when she got the news she was needed back with the Hunters. Before she left, Loretta gave Melody her huntress jacket as "an early Christmas present" since Melody had said she wanted to be like Loretta. Before she left, both Melody and Rhea were worried about this hunt, but Loretta made a promise that she would come back to them. Unfortunately, Loretta would not be able to keep this promise...While traveling with the Hunters, they were attack by a Manticore. As much as they fought greatly, the Manticore was powerful. Soon, The Manticore went after a new Huntress, but before it could hurt this new huntress, Loretta pushed her out of the way, and Loretta was stabbed by the monster. This stab was enough for Loretta to lose her immortality and fatally injure her. She was brought back to camp, where some huntresses attempted to heal her, but she passed away, with her last words to her father, who had come down from Olympus in a panic, asking him to tell her sisters that she loved them.

The news of Loretta's death precipitated a mental breakdown that left Loretta in a state described as "eternal childhood", and often unable even to recognize family members. Apollo, upon seeing his youngest daughter, described her as an "invalid" and her condition as a type of "insanity". Both Apollo and Zoe were worried on how this would effect Rhea's life as a demigod, since she couldn't use a weapon properly. Because of this, Zoe and Apollo made the choice to move Rhea to a mental hospital where she was living for a time. A few months later, the mental hospital was attacked by a monster since it sniffed out Rhea along with four other demigods. The monster was mistaken for a rabid dog and it ended up killing four out five demigods, Rhea included. The monster was killed by a demigod worker, and informed camp of the death.

## Personality

Out of all her siblings Rhea was the wildest. Since she was born two years before Melody ran away, before Lorreta became a huntress, and before she met Asclepius and Orphy, she was raised by her two sisters. Once Melody had left she and Lorreta hoped one day she would come back but she never did. When Rhea was five and Lorreta was 14 they were brought to camp Olympia by an unknown satyr, and they reunited with Melody. When Melody was 11. She enjoyed practicing archery with her sisters and listening to music with Orpheus, while Skeppy taught her how to be a doctor. She was also best friends with all of Jr.Dii Consentes, which she created. She was also told about her sister’s death by Melody. The news of Loretta’s death precipitated a mental breakdown that left Rhea in a state described as "eternal childhood", and often unable even to recognize family members. Apollo described Rhea to his daughter, Melody, as an "invalid" and her condition as a type of "insanity" Apollo told his daughter that upon hearing the news of Loretta’s death, Rhea was left in this state of shock that left her mind permanently impaired. Zoe suggested that Rhea should be sent to a Mental Hospital as she could be taken care of at Camp, so Rhea was sent to a Hospital where she is being taken care of. She was also quite naive to the world, unaware of what things like death were. This is because Rhea was sheltered from the world because of her mother. She was scared and confused when she died, but was comforted by Loretta

### Fatal flaw

Rhea's fatal flaw was her childlike nature. She was often hyperactive and naive to the ways of the world

#### Phoeubs (Father)

While Rhea had never met her father, she did love him. Generally, she gave her utmost respect to him since he is her father and a god. Apollo is shown to care for his children, and Loretta was no exception. He wanted her to be safe, and was extremely saddened when she was sent away from camp

#### Aria (Mother)

Rhea doesn't remember much of her mother, only knowing she was very neglectful. She was rather lucky than her sisters, not experiencing her mothers *physical* abuse, only experiencing her mother's *verbal* abuse and neglect. Her mental state also worsened her memory of her mothers

#### Loretta (Oldest sister)

Loretta's youngest sister, and someone who she loved, Rhea was very bight and bubbly and made their lives in New Orleans Better. Just like Melody, Loretta was very protective of her, but she doesn't know about the mental break down her sister had after she died.

#### Melody (Older sister)

Rhea was the youngest out of the three sisters. She was said to bring joy to her sisters and their time with their mother less bad. Rhea was deeply sadden when Melody ran away since she thought she would never see her again. When Rhea was five, she and Loretta were brought to Greece where they met up with her sister again. Everything was okay for a few years until Rhea was thirteen, when Loretta was killed on a quest. The news of Loretta’s death precipitated a mental breakdown that left Rhea in a state described as "eternal childhood", and often unable even to recognize family members. Apollo described Rhea to his middle daughter an "invalid" and her condition as a type of "insanity". Apollo told Melody that upon hearing the news of Loretta’s death, Rhea was left in this state of shock that left her mind permanently impaired. Basically Rhea had the same mental break down Angelica Hamilton had when Phillip died. It has been noted that Rhea was also killed by a monster that broke into the Mental Hospital she was living at, leaving Melody as Apollo's last living demigod child
