## History

### Early Life

Horizon Rhodes, born as Harmony, was born to Harmonia, the goddess of harmony and peace and Oliver Rhodes, in Jackson, Mississippi on June 30, 2004. Oliver Rhodes worked as a diplomat for the united states for 10 years. He was extremely devoted to his job, and Harmonia, under the name Grace, found that attractive. She arrived a week later as a newly hired diplomat, whom Oliver was assigned to train. They started to meet after work hours to "go over papers", which really meant dates. A year later, Horizon/Harmony was born. Haromina made Oliver promise to name his daughter after the beacon of peace. Why did he have to? Wasn't she going to stay? He proposed, but she declined, telling him she'd have to leave the state of Mississippi, and her "job" altogether. He asked why. So soon they got into a long talk where she explained everything: camp, their child, herself. He didn't believe her at first, of course, but she calmed his mind (literally) and Oliver realized she was the "real deal". Oliver also vowed not to tell their child until they showed signs of power. This was because they might hurt them-self trying to use their untrained powers.

### Childhood

Horizon was raised with strong values like amity and honesty. In their childhood, they were very popular; they never got into skimmishes or arguments. Overall they were sort of a goody two-shoes, and despised violence and weapons. At nine years old they began to volunteer in an anti violence charity called The AVC. Oliver knew about monsters and though he was concerned about his child. At eleven years old, Harmony started to realize that she was not exactly female. They told their dad and he accepted them, letter telling Harmonia in a letter. Harmonia changed the pronouns in the letters after that to Horizon's preferred pronouns and name: they/them and Horizon. During the time, Oliver had met a demigod by the name of Anze who was around 25 years old and offered to train Horizon, that way they could defend them self.

### First Monster Attack

Horizon's first monster attack didn’t come until they were twelve, but by then they had only been training for two years and they definitely weren’t an expert. Horizon was practicing with some bows and arrows in the backyard when all of a sudden a harpy flew out from the trees and flew towards them. The harpy told they were a disgrace to all demigods. Horizon was confused, but it enraged them. They started shooting arrows at the flying creature and whenever it got low enough, slashing with their dagger. In the end of the fight, they suffered from some minor wounds like cuts and bruises, but won. Their father had never told them who their mom was, just that their mom was special.

### Heading to Camp

Horizon had been on the run from monsters ever since, especially since a fire breathing horse had caught their family home on fire and killed their dad. They had been trying not to run into anymore harpies that said they were a disgrace, when they ran across a harpy nest. Rowan broke all of the harpies’ eggs and was shifting through the nest to see what they could find when they found the crossbow. Horizon was drawn to it, the crossbow looking extremely beautiful in the sunlight. Βαλλίστρα (Vallístra) or crossbow, it had said engraved in the wood. Horizon immediately picked it up and ran out of the forest, trying not to let a harpy see the weapon. They finally found Camp Olympia after running into a satyr that and almost killing said satyr. The satyr had pleaded for his life, to which Horizon reluctantly obeyed. The satyr told Horizon that he could lead the child of Harmonia to a camp for demigods just like them. Of course, Horizon had heard that term spoken by several monsters, but had no clue about what it meant. The satyr decided to lead Horizon to Camp Olympia and to the director, who would most likely explain nothing to them, but it was worth a try. They were soon claimed by Harmonia

## Personality

Horizon is a calm yet rebellious kid. They often leave pink sticky notes on campers’ cabin doors that say “You Matter.” Horizon enjoys talking to many of the members of the council as they are very affable, and willing to speak to anyone no matter what past or previous conflicts they may have had. Haven has a strong sense of justice and feels the need to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. Horizon works towards the greater good and wants to bring camp back to having peace. They are also good at overseeing the development of peace treaties. They also have very balanced, harmonious personalities. Horizon also gets along with Hayden Sterling, as Hayden is Gender-fluid and Sapphire Locks. Horizon also has a fear of not being accepted by their family, but her friends accepted them for who they are. Even though Horizon can be a quiet and shy person, they love to wear clothes that make them happy. Although they’re a quiet person, Horizon becomes loud at parties, letting themself be engulfed in the fun. Horizon doesn't like it when people lie, especially to them, plus when it's important. They feel like when someone lies to them, they don't trust them enough, which saddens. They are also rather scared of large bodies of water for some unknown reason. When Horizon is upset, he usually wants to be left alone until they calm down and build up their cheerful, yet quiet, attitude before letting anyone see them. But, if they feel extremely depressed, he wants a shoulder to cry on, someone to vent to, and just let it out. When left alone, Horizon reads and listens to music, or watches their favorite movies. Since Horizon is non-binary, they don’t like it when people call them a female, bringing their mood down by a lot. If someone ignores them when Horizon tries to correct them on their gender, a mixture of anger and sadness are brought upon them, which usually ends up with them alone. Horizon doesn't like a lot of stress on their body, so they try to take a nap or relax to release tension. Horizon is also known to be a large cuddler and needs something to cuddle when sleeping. If someone they love is ever hurt, they try their best and hardest to cheer them up; whether it's making a silly face, or even a funny joke. Horizon also respects people's personal space, since they have personal space issues themselves. They're also that kind of person who cries at movies when something sad happens. Horizon is also very jumpy. If something were to pop out in front of them, they would scream and start shaking and stuttering. And when mortified, they cannot move nor speak, and try to regain control over themselves. Horizon, all in all is an interesting character.

### Fatal flaw

Horizon’s fatal flaw is being Abusive, they know that it can turn out bad if it isn't helped (that's why they go to Phoebe or Zoe for help)

## Appearance

Horizon is a slim petite non-binary standing at 5’7" with pale skin, straight, neck-length, blonde hair, and blue eyes. Since childhood, they were known for what you called it flat-chested, so when they had enough they cut their hair to ear-length, they changed from her to he to a non-binary person. They are often seen wearing a floral t-shirt, ribbed black jeans, red converse sneakers, zip-up black hoodie with a gold dove, an Aster pocket necklace. And their hair is always down (unless Hayden, their best friend braids it)
