## History

### Birth and Ancestors

Sadie Arzu Clara Torres was born to James Torres, a clear sighted mortal and Bellona, the Roman goddess of war, destruction, devastation in San Juan, Puerto Rico on  November 8, 2004. Her older sister, Cassandra Torres was born five years prior. Even though Sadie and her elder sister were the first children of Bellona in their family, millennia ago, Bellona declared that her family would play key roles in many battles. Some of her ancestors were heroes and some were villains. Her ancestors originated from Spain when it was a Roman province, and one of her ancestors was a conquistador who came to Puerto Rico with Poncé de Leon. One was Pirate Cofresí, a pirate who had gunshot wounds in his chest. Sadie’s family villa was built with money from treasure he buried. Sadie’s great great uncle was the first Latino submarine commander from World War Two. Eventually, Bellona fell in love with her father, James Torres, a soldier in Iraq. He was a good soldier, charming and very gentle before Sadie was born. Bellona blessed James , but it wasn't enough for him. He wanted her to be his wife. James dedicated himself completely to Bellona and managed to win her heart. Her sister, Cassandra was born before he went back to Iraq for his last tour of duty. He was honorably discharged and came home a hero. Soon after he came home, Bellona visited him one last time and gave him a glimpse of the future. She explained why his family was so important to her and that Rome would never fall as long as his bloodline remained. She meant to be reassuring but James fixated on those words and it began his downward spiral. Sadie was conceived during that visit.

### Childhood in Puerto Rico

Sadie loved her home in Puerto Rico, even though she began to fear it as she got older. She loved the sound of Coquí frogs in her neighborhood and the smell of the ocean and magnolia and citrus trees. She and Cassandra would walk down the Calle San Jose, counting cats and making stories for each one. She would also love to go to Plaza de Armas and watch old men play dominos. Sadie and Cassandra lived in a huge estate with big white steps devoid of decoration. Their furniture was made of oak, steel, and leather. In her main room, there were terraces, which made her feel like she was being watched. Her father did everything he could to make their hacienda look like a modern home, adding skylights and painting everything white to make it bigger and brighter, but it still felt old. Her neighborhood had cats on the street, banana trees, crumbling pastel houses, and cobblestone. Her father changed during Sadie’s childhood, and had PTSD. He couldn't stop thinking about the war and he had constant chronic pain from a roadside bomb that let shrapnel in his shoulder. He became paranoid and thought Bellona's words meant that their bloodline would die and that Rome would fall. He saw enemies everywhere and began collecting weapons, turning their house into a fortress. He was unable to adjust to civilian life.

Sadie and Cassandra would sometimes be able to escape from their father. They would hide in the fireplace and imagine that they could travel to places from there. On Sunday afternoons, they could escape to Barrachina's kitchen, where the staff would take pity on them and let them eat in the kitchen. However, James would lock Sadie and Cassandra in their room at night, and if they snuck out, he would yell and throw furniture at them. He even became convinced that Sadie and Cassandra were the enemies, spying and trying to undermine him. Ghosts began appearing and whispering to James, confirming his suspicions. They would watch Sadie from the terraces in her living room. Eventually, James became a Mania, with only his worst qualities remaining. Cassandra would try her best to protect Sadie One day, after they snuck out, when Sadie was seven, James was so angry he was glowing. He couldn't touch things anymore and learned how to move things like a poltergeist. He tore up the floor tiles and ripped open the sofa. He then threw a chair at Cassandra knocking her out. Sadie lost it and thought she was dead. Sadie grabbed Pirate Cofresí's saber and used it to vaporize her father. After she killed him, ghosts appeared at Sadie and taunted her, telling her she can never flee her crime, calling her a murderer and a traitor. When Cassandra woke up, Sadie and Cassandra finally escaped.

### Life on Circe's Island

Sadie and Cassandra eventually ended up on Circe's island in the Sea of Monsters. Circe treated them well and gave Cassandra pet leopards and a good health plan. While Cassandra was a clerk, Sadie did people's hair and makeup. Both helped turn men into guinea pigs Sadie learned about the Mark of Minerva while there, when a man washed up on the island talking about the Mark of Minerva. The man muttered about how he ended up in Rome and saw the giants bane before they turned him into a guinea pig. Sadie spent enough time on Circe's island to know and recognize Charm speak

### Kidnapped by Pirates

Saide and Cassandra were kidnapped by Blackbeard and his comrades when they were eight and thirteen and were captives for months. The sisters endured a lot from the pirates and learned to be tough, otherwise they would have been killed. Their time in the pirates was when they learned they were good with weapons, and Sadie learned how to use two blades, which came in handy when facing Eidolons in Pompeii. Cassandra eventually saved Sadie’s life by making the pirates respect her to the point that pirates get scared when Cassandra gives them a certain smile. After a while, Cassandra dueled for their freedom and made the crew so afraid of her that they dropped her and Sadie off in Texas, just so she wouldn't take over the ship. Sadie and Cassandra eventually parted ways, with Cassandra joining the Amazons and Sadie going to the Wolf House. Lupa taught her how to sleep lightly, wake up alert, and be ready for an attack.

### Life with The Romans

die made it to The Roman Side of Camp Olympia and joined the Twelfth Legion Fulminata when she was nine, being a part of it for a year. It is unknown what cohort she was in, but she eventually became Praetor. But Sadie was never a Centurion. Instead, she went straight from Legionnaire to Praetor. While Sadie was praetor, Bryce Lawrence was suspected of killing his own Centurion. Sadie was disgusted by Bryce and thought he was a little sicko. Sadie knew he killed his centurion and wanted to prove it, but due to the lack of evidence and the power of Bryce's family, he was just expelled from camp and got away with a light sentence. During her time at Camp, Sadie became close friends with Isaac Reynoso, Greek demigod son of Zeus, though most called him a son of Jupiter,  from the Fifth Cohort. Sadie and Isaac bonded over Diocletian and both made a pact that if they ever crossed the Mare Nostrum, even though it was forbidden, they would go to Dalmatia, Diocletian's childhood home. Isaac knew Sadie’s last name, which she barely used, but Sadie hated it when he tried to say it, telling him that it was the name of a girl who she left in Puerto Rico. Sadie developed romantic feelings for Isaac as they grew up together in The Roman Side Sadie’s romantic feelings for Isaac got stronger over the years. Eventually, when Isaac and Sadie were a bit older, she believed they had a future together.

### Meeting The Greeks

When Sadie and Isaac were around the age of ten, the two were playing in the city of Rome and they were found by a satyr who took them to The Greek side of Camp where Isaac found it much easier to live while it took Sadie some getting used to. Cassandra went with them to make sure it was safe. The trio had met Melody Potvin, daughter of Apollo who showed them around camp. Sadie soon became friends with Aubrey Pena, daughter of Hera and saw her as a sort of motherly figure. Sadie and her sister were later claimed by Bellona

## Personality

Sadie is a very strong-willed person. She is very strict with the other Roman demigods and doesn't like to be questioned. However, the reason she is so strict is that she is determined to protect her family after what happened in her childhood. Because of her past, she does her best to be stoic, doesn't show any signs of weakness around others, and keeps up her mature public image to keep up the morale of the Camp Sadie is distrustful and dubious of new people or people she feels aren't honest with her, though she becomes slightly more relaxed and friendly with people she trusts and cares about. She also tends to work a lot and gets asked constantly by Aubrey “What would be enough” and, she is the girlfriend of Zack Martinez, son of Zephyrus. Sadie has a softer side as well, and hates to see others experience internal turmoil, and was therefore determined to support Melody throughout their journey together, after feeling her pain when her sisters "left" her, since Sadie has an older sister as well She is also very accepting of others, and, much to some people's surprise, since she acts "stone cold" She hates people using her full name - "Sadie Arzu Clara Torres". She feels as if she left that name behind when she left Puerto Rico as a young girl, as it brings back too many unpleasant memories pertaining to her abusive father. Despite showing herself as a cold and unfriendly person Sadie is extremely selfless, caring, loving, and compassionate, like caring deeply about and comforting her friends, something Zack loves about her. Sadie is a loud and quite outspoken person. Some people perceive her as rude due to her tendency to speak before she thinks and to blurt things out. She can be very temperamental and needs someone to rein her in a lot of the time. Sadie tries to be as kind as possible before she has to die young as a demigod yet she often finds herself in troubling situations due to her lack of tact. Sadie can be course and unrefined, but she always has good intentions, and finds a way to make any situation better. She often will start singing traditional Puerto Rican songs while she's cleaning or training. Sadie is often seen putting her people's needs before her own, always being willing to put her life on the line for others and is accepting people of any past experiences or sexuality, and always putting other people before herself. Sadie is also a very brave and courageous character, as stated by many characters and shown through her noble and heroic feats and even gaining the blessings of a war goddess. She's also intelligent, inventive, and quick-witted as shown by her knowledge of mythology and using her enhanced hearing. All in All, Sadie is an interesting person

Sadie's fatal flaw is her loyalty. She will do anything to protect her friends and loved one(s). She even let herself be manipulated by Cora Williams, daughter of Calliope, since she threatened to her friends.

When Sadie was fourteen, she discovered she was Asexual and Zack respects that.

### Friends

#### Aubrey Pena (Daughter of Hera)

Sadie views her as a mother and sister figure. Sadie respects Aubrey and often acts like a bodyguard, sometimes treating her like a queen, even though Aubrey has said she won't be a queen. Sadie has said she would do anything just make sure she and her friends are safe, (this plays a part in her fatal flaw, loyalty). Sadie and Aubrey had a bit of a rivalry since Sadie used to have a crush on Isaac and Aubrey is a protective sister to Isaac, though Sadie began to like someone else. They met while training and when Sadie opened up about her childhood, Aubrey was all "Is anyone going to be a mother figure to this kid?" and didn't wait for an answer.

Melody Calypso Potvin is one of Sadie's closest friends, they're practically sisters, (with Aubrey as their mother, of course). Sadie has shown to care deeply for the daughter of Apollo. She often teaches her how to use her dagger in battle. Sadie is much more laid back and relaxed with Melody since they are so close. They met when Melody was trying to learn how to use a sword, but she never got the hang of it. Sadie, who had been watching, suggested she use a dagger since it was lighters and from then on, Sadie started training her.

#### Leo Guzman (Son of Ares)

Leo is the son of Ares and Sadie's Greek cousin and one of her best friends. The two often spar and train together and they speak Spanish together. They met when Sadie saw Leo having trouble using a spear for the first time and Sadie offered to help, since then, the two have been best friends

#### Damian Mendoza (Son of Athena)

Much like Leo, Damian is one of Sadie's best-friends. Since the two are the children of war goddesses, they get along very well. Both talk about historic wars and share different battle strategies together. Damian has shared many secrets with Sadie, including his fear of failure and his need to be the best at everything in order to make his mother proud and the fact that his father emotionally and verbally abuses him

#### Bellona (Mother)

Sadie is very close to her mother. She considers her mother her best friend and tells her everything. Bellona in response is rather protective of her daughter, but she never revealed herself to Sadie and Cassandra until they were around eight and ten

#### James (Father)

James is Sadie's and Cassandra's father, who was reduced to a mania and vaporized by Sadie. Sadie often feels guilty about this fact.

#### Cassandra (Older Sister)

Sadie has a somewhat difficult relationship with her sister Cassandra, who recently joined the hunter of Artemis. They parted ways several years ago, when Cassandra joined the hunters and Sadie left to find a new home. When they met again in San Juan, she was angry that Cassandra kidnapped her but glad to see her. When the fighting broke out and the huntress asked her to leave, she was hesitant and feared Cassandra would die. They often disagree, but still love each other very much, despite their many differences.
