## History

### Early Life

Zane Wind was born to Amelia Wind, a mortal woman and Shu, the Egyptian god of air, peace, lions, and wind on April 12, 2004, in Commerce, California. Amelia Wind was a dedicated police woman on the LAPD. She worked very hard on the force to get the job done. Everyone told her to take break because she never slept. She told them no and that she needed to do her job and they didn't argue. Then one day, the chief ordered her to take the night off for once. He said that if she doesn't take the night off, she's on an unpayed suspension. With no choice, she agreed and left. Bored out of her mind at home, she decided to go to a bar. She arrived there looking stunning and ordered a drink. She sat down by the counter and a man came by her to talk. To her, he was handsome and charming. After a few drinks together, they were both drunk and decided to have a little fun. They went back to her place and had a one night stand. When she woke up, the man was gone, leaving her alone. 2 days later she wasn't feeling well and went to the doctor to check it out.It turns out, she was pregnant. There was no doubt in her mind that the man she had the fling with is the father of the baby in her. She couldn't find him in any way so she was on her own. 9 months later, she had a baby boy, she named Zane Aaron Wind.

### Childhood

Since Zane was born, Amelia decided to quite working for The LAPD and began working somewhere else. Zane, for the most part had what people would call "The Perfect Childhood", even though his father wasn't with him, he and his mother were very close. When Zane was six, his mother adopted a young boy, around three years old named Angel. Zane loved his new brother and cared for him a lot. Zane also did mostly well in school, but at the age of seven, he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia, so that kind of effected his work in school, but his mother would help him and teach him new things. Zane thought his life would life would always be like this...Until that was a few months later

### A Mother's Death

When Zane was seven, his mother had caught a sickness. At first she thought it was the flu, but over time it got worse. When she went to the doctor after it had become hard to breathe, she was diagnosed with Pneumonia. Amelia spent a lot of her time in the hospital while Zane and Angel stayed with their Grandparents. For a while, it seemed like Amelia was getting better and she even got to go home for a bit, but not before being admitted back to the hospital. When Zane was eight, his mother passed way after her condition got worse. Zane still remembers his mother's last words to him "I love you so much dear, I will always be with you". Zane and Angel were moved into the system, though their grandparents did offer to take them in, the court said that the couple weren't in the best living situation (They lived in a very small apartment), and were deemed unfit to care for the two boys.

The first home they stayed with was fine, however it was soon discovered that Amelia had a brother name Pat (who was from England) and living in San Francisco that had offered to taken in Zane. Zane was somewhat happy that he still had some family left and told Angel that they would be moving in with him...unfortunately...the social lady had said that only Zane would be living with his uncle (Something about Pat not knowing Angel was also apart of the family since he and Amelia lost contact after they both graduated college and the court saying Angel with not *biologically* apart of the family) and Angel would be staying in the system. For the next three days, Zane and Angel spent of all their time together. Angel helped his brother pack and for the next two days, they played, watched movies...everything. After those three days, the two brothers said a very tearful good by and Zane was driven to the airport, according to Zane "I remember Angie running after the car...he never was fast". Zane was taken to the airport and after a 1 hour drive, Zane was in San Francisco where he met his Uncle Pat and his new wife "Katelyn" who also had a niece his age named Karissa Rosales, who unbeknownst to all of them, was a demigod herself, the daughter of Merau and who was also in a similar situation. From then, they new "Family" went back to start their new lives

### The Life That Followed

Now normally, Zane was a very bright, talkative and very happy! But now a days, he's very much quite and a bit moody. Pat and Kate thought it was because he was getting used to being with new Guardians and missing his mother, so they let him mourn. Zane and Karissa were properly introduced to each other and were even room mates seeing as they were now cousins, but the two didn't really get along. They often argued and sometimes they would turn physical (With Karissa being the more violent one) and they had to be separated a lot. Most of the time, when they wouldn't argue, they would be doing their own things. Things were looking...descent. Zane started getting used to living with his Aunt and Uncle and started...tolerating his cousin more. It wasn't until his first monster attack, which would change everything

### Monster Attack

Zane and Karissa (who were both ten years old at the time) where sent by their aunt and uncle to go by somethings from the local corner store. On the way the two had begun arguing over something stupid (If water was better than soda, which, BTW was an actual argument me and my friends had lol), though they tried not to be to loud since they had manners

"But waters healthy-er!" Karissa urged

"I *know* that *Kari* but soda just be-" he was cut off by a growling noise coming from an ally way. He stopped walking

"What is it?" Karissa asked, a hint of concern in her voice

"I think I hear growling" the blonde responded

The duo walked over to the ally way where the growling came from and poked where the sound was and suddenly a very large dog which was really a hell hound and it started attacking the two. Karissa instantly grabbed her cousin's hand and the hell hound chased them. The two forgot about the corner store and where chased to the park. Meanwhile, Pat and Kate noted that Karissa and Zane were taking longer and went to go find them. They asked around until some pointed out they saw two kids being chased by a large dog head in the direction of the park. The couple got to the park and saw Karissa and Zane trying to fight back against the large dogs. When the hell hounds caught sight of the couple, it went to them. While Zane and Karissa where trying to protect their uncle and aunts, a satyr appeared and killed the hell hounds, but before any one could blink, the satyr disappeared. The family of four returned home to heal the scratches. The two ten year olds where both shaken up, but Zane felt guilty...He walked over to the hell hound and prompt it to take them. Zane stayed in his room for a while

### Coming to Camp

It had been two years since the cousin's first monster attack and Zane still felt guilty. This didn't help him later in life since the two cousins kept running into monsters. Finally when Zane was twelve he decided to leave. He felt that he was putting his uncle and aunt in danger and thought leaving would be best. As he packed he heard a familiar voice.

"What are you doing?" Karissa asked

"I'm leaving" Zane responded

"Is there a reason?"

"Yeah. I feel I'm-" Karissa cut him off

"Putting the family in danger?"

"Yeah...how did you know?"

Karissa sat on her bed, on her side of the room

"Cause I've been feeling the same way...Ever since-"

"We got attack by those dogs?"

"Yeah..."

"Oh..."

The two sat in front of each other, letting the quite fill the room

"I don't hate you Zane...I wan't you know that. So, where ever you go...I'm going with you"

"Okay then... start packing then"

Zane helped Karissa pack her things and in the dead of night, the two sneaked out of the apartment and made their way on the streets of California. Karissa and Zane wandered the streets, often stealing things they could to survive. Over time, the two bonded, but at the same time, they still argued. While on the streets, they ran into an girl named Rosemary Hudson, who was a year older than them. Rosemary took a liking to the two of them, and decided to "adopt" them as her younger siblings. Rosemary was protective of them, and they all got along great. It wasn't they were found by the satyr who had first save Zane and Karissa from their first attack. The satyr could tell they were demigods and offered to bring them to camp. They agreed and where brought. All the three demigods were claimed by their respective godly parents (Shu: Zane, Merau: Karissa, and Serket: Rosemary)

## Personality

Zane is surprisingly humble for someone “destined” to be a part of the next Egyptian Pantheon. He doesn’t think too highly of himself, to the point where it borders on insecurity. Raised with incredibly high standards, he has a slight inferiority-complex which he hasn’t fully been cured of. It wouldn’t be so bad if he talked about it, but he doesn’t. For someone as voluntarily hard-working as he is, he really can’t help himself, nor will he seek council of any kind. Rather good at white lies, though not at all proud of it, he can convince most anyone close to him everything’s fine. He feels rather embarrassed to bring up his problems because, in his mind, he’s had a near-perfect privileged childhood growing up with an almost perfect mother and isn’t entitled to complain. Still, for what he lacks in self-esteem he more than makes up for by building up the confidence of others, never letting anyone feel less than stellar about themselves. He has an odd talent of just figuring out what a person is going through and being able to comfort them about it, hardly knowing who they are. To him, everyone is mostly good by default, and just needs a little push in the right moral direction. This may seem endearing at first, but this also leads him to being a little bit naïve, just assuming people care. Although he’s hardly a trouble-maker, he’s the type of person to get involved with his friends hi-jinxs and situations. And because he’s not as powerful as he’s expected to be, it’s not like he’ll be able to defend himself. Even if he’s entirely aware of someone’s faults and wrongdoings, he will insist on helping them no matter the personal cost. Still, as he’s recently learned, not everyone is capable of immediate change, and he’s certainly not virtuous enough to be patient for eternity. Still, for the most part, he loves helping others, and will put aside most personal costs and prior wrongdoings to do so. Despite having his limits, Zane is very forgiving to the few he admits have wronged him or his friends. Since his father is immortal, he thinks an eternity is a long time to hold a grudge, so he approaches those who seek his forgiveness with an open mind and heart. Although he’d wish to believe he’s entirely non-biased, he is most definitely willing to forgive his owned loved ones, and they can get away with a lot more than most can. Unfortunately, it’s his family that most often ends up being the worst, they aren't bad, but a bit chaotic at times. But he’s loyal to a fault, and it takes some severe actions to get him to admit that a relative or friend isn’t warranting forgiveness. Speaking of family, not only is he extremely forgiving, he’s also very apologetic. He apologizes for himself way too often, and also tends to do it on behalf of his crazy “family”, who never seem to have the patience he does. He seems to be the only peaceful member in The Family Demigod. He is also sweet tempered, humbled and kind.

### Fatal flaw

Zane's fatal flaw is loyalty. He would do anything to keep his friends safe

### Family

#### Shu (Father)

Though Zane has never met his father, he does respect him. Zane wishes his father could have at least visited once as a kid. Shu however, does care for his son and is proud of his accomplishments.

#### Amelia (Mother)

Zane often describes his mother as "The Perfect Mother". Amelia did love and care for hers sons and would do anything to protect them. Amelia raised them with enough love for the both of them. Amelia's death (which happened when Zane was 10) heavily effected Zane. He really misses his mother

#### Angel (Adopted brother)

Angel was Zane's younger adopted brother. Angel and Zane were close but when their mother died, they were put into foster care. When Zane was seven and Angel was four, the two were put into the foster system, originally together. However, the people running the foster system figured it would be better for Zane to stay with his uncle and aunt and for Angel to stay within the system until he was adopted. Zane put up an argument, but they where still separated. Zane really misses his brother
