## History

### Early Life

Vespera Alfred was born to Bes, god of Dwarves, Fortunes, Fertility, and the Arts and Natalie Alfred, a mortal woman in Brighton, England on March 24, 2004. Natalie Alfred was mortal woman who lived in England. She already had a family of her own, mainly just a daughter who we will call Niki, but as her husband had passed away a few months after Niki, was born, Natalie began to drown her sorrows by drinking. One day, at the bar, Natalie met a man named Ben. Ben was a nice man and they both definitely hit it off and they began to date. After a few months of dating, they both got drunk and well...they ended up in bed with each other. The next day, Natalie found herself in bed alone, but with a note on the bed-side table, along with golden choker. Natalie read the note, which said;

*'Dear Natalie, My apologies that I had to disappear from you forever. It is time you know the truth that I am a god. One of the Egyptian gods. My real name is Bes, god of Fortunes and The Arts. I have been watching you ever since I left and I am happy that we are having a child. Unfortunately, gods can't stay with mortals and I can't raise her. Please take care of her to the best of your ability, and I will be watching over you all. The choker will act as our child's weapon, a bow. When the time comes, she shall go to a camp for demigods, a satyr shall lead her and take him there to safety. I love you Stella. I will always be watching. Love, Bes*

At first, Natalie didn't believe the note, and was heart broken that the man she had loved had left her. A few days later, Natalie found out that she was indeed pregnant. There was no doubt in her mind that the man she had the fling with is the father of the baby in her. Natalie told her her daughter that she would be getting a sibling. After nine 9, on March 24, Vesepra was born

### Childhood

Vespera didn't have a...good childhood. Vespera's mother began to drink again by the time she was two years old. Because of this, Niki had to take care of her step-sister. Because of this, Niki began to feel bitter at her sister and felt reluctant to take care of her sister. Natalie was often passed out while the girls had to take care of themselves. At the age of Five, Vespera had a real craving fro some Cup of noodles. She asked her older sister to help, as she was ten at the time, but Niki told Vespera to "do it herself". So, Vespera, ever ambitious, had tried to make the soup. When she was done, she grabbed her soup, but lost her grip, and dropped it on herself. The hot soup water burned part of her leg. She cried for her mom, but as Natalie was experiencing a hang over, all she did was yell at her to clean up the mess. Vespera did as she was told and was sent to her room. When Vespera was ten, she had enough of her mother's abuse, and decided to run away.

### Running Away

One summer night, when Vespera turned ten, she ran away. She didn't tell anyone, not her sister, not her teachers, no one. Vespera packed her bags and left in the middle of the night. Vespera felt free to be away from her toxic home. While living on the streets, she stole to survive. One day, while sleeping on a bench in a park, she had a strange dream. In her dream, Vespera seemed to be in some sort of cave, with ancient hieroglyphics on the walls. As she walked deeper in the cave, she met a man...who seem vaguely familiar... She walked up to the man, but before she could get a word out he said

"Hello, Vespera"

"H-How do you know my name?"

The man chuckled "I'm surprised you're mother didn't tell you anything" he said "I'm your father"

Vespera looked confused "What? But my dad's dead! At least...that's what mom said..."

"No, honey, I'm very much alive... Unfortunately, I haven't been able to be in your life since birth..."

"Wait, why-"

"There is to much to explain, and very little time. You must get to America, California to be exact. There you will find a summer camp. On your journey, you'll face many dangers. Your choker will act as your main weapon, please stay safe my child"

With that, Vesepra woke up confused to say least. She had a dream about...her dad, who she hasn't even met, but says she need to get to some camp in America? Vespera felt conflicted, but when she got to her bag, she found three things, a plane ticket to California, some money and a note, which read

*'I understand you're confused, but you must get to America ASAP. Please stop standing there and get to the airport. Everything will be explained once you get to Camp'-Love dad*

Vespera decided to do what the note said and made her away to airport. Vespera got some strange looks from the other people at the air port as this was a ten year old by herself. When she got to the person checking the tickets, the lady asked "where are you're parents, kid" and Vesepera came up with this lie that she need to get to California to stay with her grandparents and her parents knew she was going. The lady, deciding she didn't get paid enough for this, let Vespera get on the plane. After a long flight, Vespera landed in California, she began her journey to Camp

### Coming to Camp

Vespera, much like her time in England, lived on the streets. Because her father didn't tell her where this camp was, she was left wandering the streets of California, by the time she was twelve, she faced her first monster attack, a hell hound. During the attack, she found out the choker she always wore, could turn into a bow, which she found out she was very skilled at and ended up killing the monster. When she was thirteen, she encountered a group of kids who were also heading to this camp, so she chose to join them. The group explained to Vespera that she was probably a demigod and after weeks of traveling, they finally made it to camp. Vespera was later claimed by Bes.

## Personality

Vespera is one of the many motherly figures that roams the streets of Camp Olympia. An absolute pure soul some say, she's caring and loyal to almost everyone she meets. A figure who tries to make sure everyone is alright, she tries her hardest to make everyone feel welcome, even if they don't even want her company. Despite knowing not everyone will like her, she tries her hardest to make sure everyone has a chance to be happy. In fact, Vespera is actually one of the most respectful people you would have met in your whole lives. Even if one person tries to tease her and make her life miserable, not only will she brush it off; but she'll literally make them feel the same way she does to everyone; sharing someone with a kindred soul. As she says, treat others how you want to be treated, even if the person really deserves it. However, Vespera is absolutely shy and timid, and can have a tiny mental breakdown at the littlest things. She's constantly concerned for other people's safety, and freaks out when one bad thing happens to them. But when the moment comes, she is brave and headstrong She hides the fact that she's way too over protective, and when first meeting someone, Vespera is known to stutter like crazy, and in a stressful situation, doesn't know how to react about how to solve the situation, or to either scream her lungs out or run for her life. Vespera enjoys people who are trying their hardest to be unique, and hates it when others fit into the crowd. She prefers to have her own style, and ignores the trend due to the fact she aspires to be different from other people. For example, Vespera despises the idea of drinking different types of beer, and doesn't want to communicate with people who do, especially after what being like that did to her when she was younger. Vespera is also one of the most nervous wrecks, constantly worrying and trying her hardest to be focused. Vespera is very attached to her friends and family, and easy to befriend. She will leap to the defense of a friend in trouble. Despite her looks, she is very kind and has a sense of humor like any other person. Though at times, Ves can be chaotic, loud and genuinely loves to have fun with her friends.
