## History

### Early Life

Emerald Amanda was born to Daniel “Danny” Amanda, a mortal and Euterpe goddess of Music in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 13, 2004. Danny had graduated from Concordia University as a Musician and a writer as the best one in his class. Even as a little child he always liked the sound of songs and the way they were written. The one instrument that had always caught his attention was the flute. As a child, he often got bullied and had no friends. That resulted in him having imaginary friends. His 'best' friend was a girl who could play the flute he called Felicity. Every day he would talk to her and listen as “her” songs played him to sleep. As he grew older, he spent less time talking to Felicity and more time studying and playing outside, like all kids did. Still, once in a while he would talk to Felicity. He hadn't forgotten her. He had just replaced her. After he graduated, everyone was celebrating including Daniel. They have organized a ball-dance. Everyone dressed formally. His eyes caught a beautiful girl dressed in a silk blue knee-length elegant dress. She was standing next to a window and playing the flute as the moonlight made her glow a bit as they made eye-contact. He felt something he has never felt before. Lust. He decided to approach her. As he started approaching her, he realized that she had disappeared. He looked around and saw her standing next to the window across the room. He got confused, but he kept going. As he got closer, he started to see small blue raits around her and that confused him even more. As he got there, the trails disappeared

### Euterpe’s disappearance and Emerald’s birth

He asked her to dance with him and she took the offer. She was moving gracefully on the dance-floor as the lights were shining on them. They started to talk and get to know each other. They soon fell in love. He didn't know her name. They ditched the ball. After ten minutes, they found themselves lying on the grass. She then said “Euterpe. I know you've been wondering what's my name the whole night." Later on that night, they made love and Emerald was conceived. Euterpe has suddenly disappeared. That broke Daniel's heart. He spent months and months searching for her until one day she mysteriously showed up. But she wasn't alone. She held a baby-girl in her arms. Euterpe explained that she's a Greek goddess, that their child is a demigod, about monsters, other demigods and the camp. Afterwards, she told him that she can't keep the girl anymore. Euterpe had then disappeared. She left her daughter a silver ring and told her to keep it.

### Childhood

It was hard growing up for Emerald. Her dad was always away and she was forced to spend time with her unemployed uncle. Her dad provided her with everything she needed, except for him. His work days now lasted longer and he didn't have any weekends free. Her uncle decided to dedicate him to turning Emerald into a beautiful sophisticated young lady. He started teaching her French, giving her piano lessons and ballet, but she had different interests. She looked into the different myths and appreciated the god Apollo, The Muses and other music gods. She learned the flute in her free time, alongside the activities her uncle was teaching. At the age of six, she got registered at a primary school in California. Her dyslexia didn't stop her from being at the top of her class. Everyone admired her will.

### First Monster Encounter

Things were perfect for Emerald until her tenth birthday. She was coming back from school and out of sudden a large snake-lady appeared. It was a dracanae. She froze. She had no idea what to do. Emerald started running towards the apartment of her uncle. The snake-lady started following her, but a young girl appeared out of nowhere and stabbed the snake-woman with a large knife. The dracanae disappeared. She couldn't believe her own eyes. She got frightened and ran. She decided to keep the story for herself because she knew no one would trust her. She continued to live a normal life. At least during daytime. Ever since, she has been having nightmares about snakes which resulted in her developing ophidiophobia, fear snakes. She became more careful and aware of her surroundings. From that moment, every once in a while, some creepy looking creature would appear and try to kill her, but someone (or something) would always stop it. What she didn't know then was that the kids who were killing the monsters were actually demigods from Camp Olympia who were most likely on their quests. She thought she was going insane and shared it with her uncle who was clear-sighted. He told her not to worry about them. Later on,while her uncle was walking around the town, he saw a satyr. He graciously asked him to watch out for Emerald resulting in satyr becoming her guardian. Her uncle and dad decided to give her a chance to live a normal life without knowing about monsters, gods and their children. That lasted for two years. Even though she wasn't aware of it, she noticed that everyday after school the same man followed her. Again, she thought she was going insane and kept it for herself.

### First battle with a Monster

Things were going great. The monsters stopped appearing. She had gotten a strange present from an unknown person. She got blue hair clips which turned out to be Celestial Bronze Tessen Fans, but she wasn't aware of that. On her eleventh birthday, at the exact same spot she saw the same monster. The same thing happened. She froze. The hair clips, which were in her pocket, started to feel heavy. She took them out and they started to envelope themselves in a pale blue glow. Little did she know, it was a present from her mother. She had an urge to flick them. As she did it, the hair-clips transformed into a pair of fans. She had a crazy idea. Why not throw one at the snake lady? As she threw it, the fan started to spin itself, revealing celestial bronze blades. The dracanae simply evaded it and went for the girl. She saw the fan was returning to her like a boomerang. It was near the dracanae, all she needed to do was move a little to the right and the fan would directly hit her body. She decided to throw the other one the same way she threw the first one, hoping that the snake-lady would move to the right.

Luckily, she did, but she moved a bit too far. Still, the fan scratched her arm. The dracanae hissed at the girl and rushed towards her with unbelievable speed. She took out a sword and was aiming for Emerald. However, Emerald swiftly evaded it as she leaped in the air and landed on the grass. The fans were returning to her and she had to catch them. That was the problem. she put her hands up and caught them, but the blades cut her hands. She was bleeding. The dracanae took the chance to directly attack the girl. She wanted to stab her directly in the chest. Emerald lay on the ground and rolled away from her. She threw one of the fans, aiming for the dracanae head. She dodged it, but the fan was returning back. It stabbed her in the back. Dracanae hisses loudly. Emerald knew this was her chance. She threw the other fan, aiming for the arm with the sword. Luckily, she hit it, resulting in the sword being dropped. Emerald carefully picked it and stabbed the dracanae with it right in the chest. The snake-lady screamed in agony as she turned to dust. The fans returned to her and she turned them into hair clips.

### Finding out about the Greek gods, demigods and Camp Olympia

She was very confused, when she heard a clap in the background, alongside a cheer. "Bravo, kiddo." said a man with a wooden bat in his right hand. "I thought I was going to do it, but you were faster," he continued. Emerald panicked and started to run in the opposite direction. "Hey, I won't hurt you. Please, come back!" yelled the man. She didn't want to, but something inside was telling her to do so. He invited her for a cup of coffee at the nearby cafe-bar. He said that he needed to make a phone call and left her alone for five minutes. Emerald grabbed her hair clips in case something attacked her again. The satyr called her dad and uncle and explained what had happened to them. Also, he told them to pack her stuff so that they could save some time. He came back to Emerald and explained everything to her. She was mind-blown. A girl like me, a demigod? she kept thinking. "Now let's go to your uncle's apartment and get your stuff, we're going to a camp that has many other kids like you." said the satyr.

### Arrival at Camp

When she came home, her father and uncle were waiting for her. They both gave her a hug. She could see that most of her stuff was packed. They explained that they knew something like this would happen at some point, that they got contacted by her guardian telling them to pack her up and that she would have to leave. She burst to tears. Even though she didn't want to go, she knew she had to. She hugged her uncle and dad one more time as she grabbed her bags. Emerald and Satyr left for Camp Olympia while her relatives stayed in Los Angeles. When at camp, she was claimed by Euterpe and became the fourth member of the Trix

## Personality

Emerald is described as cunning. She can trick people into doing what she wants and is very ambitious. She aspires to be a flute player but likes to tease others and is very rebellious. She often gets herself in trouble a lot. She is often seen playing the flute or some other woodwind instrument, which she is very skilled at, even Melody was intrigued and the two once duetted in a song, needless to say, that was the only time anyone from the Trix and JO got along, which shocked everyone. Now that the Trixs are no more, they often perform more together. Kind of a weird mix between goth and cheerleader. Emerald's cheerleader side comes out when she gets really excited over little things, always knows what to say to encourage and she never ever lets a chance to use this knowledge pass her by. Her goth side comes out when people see what she writes in creative writing classes or the poetry club. They're pretty emotionless and dark poems and it kind of startles everyone that she is capable of pulling that out of her mind. Another thing that makes her popular is her wit. Emerald always has a good comeback to people who roast her or people she loves, and everyone usually laughs after the comeback comes out and they forget that they were just insulting her or that they pretty much just got insulted. A very mysterious person, it's like she has one side that everyone can see and one side that no one is allowed to see. She's very guarded in most matters of her life, but in other matters, she just tosses her hair back, smiles brightly with glimmering eyes. She can keep her head in various situations, no matter how dangerous. Everyone has agreed that should they're ever be the equivalent of the apocalypse, they were going to find Emerald and glue themselves to her side to mooch off of her plan for survival. Emerald often says profound things when caught off guard. It's gotten to where people are trying to sneak up on her as much as possible, to ask her a simple question and see what she says when she's preoccupied, and then post them on the internet under the account name "**EmeraldSaysWeirdThings."** Emerald is a girl who puts herself first, though she doesn't quite realize this aspect of herself. She is always seeking to explore her full potential, and doesn't let anything get in her way. She is an extrovert who enjoys small-talk just as much as matters of business. Emerald doesn't notice that her behavior tends to make her a bulldozer of sorts, paving over the feelings of others as long as she ends up happy. Emerald is very active, both physically and in the community. She has a bit of a dark side and is actually quite manipulative, though this is a trait she hides with relative ease. Overall, she is an ambitious girl and natural leader who isn't always in tune with how others feel. She will use her beauty as a manipulation tactic if necessary but prefers to try other methods first.

### Fatal flaw

Emerald's fatal flaw is hubris. She often think she is the best at everything, sometimes even boasting that she's better than some gods and heroes.

## Appearance
