## History

### Birth

Emily Garcia was born on December 6, 2004, to Hestia, goddess of The Hearth, Family, Home, Domesticity, and Virginity, and Ruskin Garcia, a clear sighted mortal. Four years later Hestia came back in her roman from Vesta and had her little brother Vincent. Ruskin Garcia met Hestia in Lakewood, California. Ruskin was a clear-sighted mortal. Ruskin was struggling with what he wanted to be as she was a high school grad student. Hestia helped him decide and consequently, they fell in love; Hestia decided to create a gift for Ruskin and using the essence of him and created their firstborn daughter from Ruskin’s hearth, while Ruskin was graduating College. On December 6, 2000, Emily Sol Garcia was born. Hestia took care of her daughter until she sensed that Ruskin was coming home, having made the nursery with a snap of her fingers and having slipped a pendant necklace around her neck Hestia ran into Ruskin’s bedroom and flashed away. When Ruskin arrived, he found the baby girl in a Moses basket on the dining room table, he could tell by the color of the crystal pendant around her neck that she a gift from Hestia, and pinned to the basket was a piece of paper with her full name, Andrew immediately loved their daughter and vowed to care for her to the best of his ability. Like I said four years later Hestia came back as Vesta and using the same method with creating a child, Vesta created another child, this time a boy, named Vincent Arial Garcia. Emily remembered Vesta as being more disciplined yet motherly. She remembered Vesta signing her songs and lullabies in Latin, though she didn’t know what language it was at the time, and she remembered Vesta giving her a warm smile as she showed her mom her drawings while her father was at work and Vesta was holding a baby Vincent. The day after, Vesta disappeared and Ruskin told her she had gone on a trip. They were raised by their single father.

### Childhood

As a child Emily was introverted and had very few friends, she was a pacifist and adored her father before she started school, as a toddler her father would take her and Vincent to work with him. While he was busy being a Family Counselor, Emily would take care of Vincent or play quietly in the corner. When she did start school, she was fairly liked by teachers and some students. She got good grades and was considered to be a “teacher's pet” though she never thought of herself like that. Once during a field trip, she thought she had seen a man with one eye, following her group and the bus driver had ram horns, who was probably a satyr in disguise, though no one believed her when she voiced her thoughts.

### Journey to Camp

At the ages of 8-years-old and four years old, their father revealed that they were going to visit some family in Los Angeles. The family of three drove to Los Angeles and after a few weeks of being there, Ruskin said he was gonna take them to this summer camp. Their father dropped them off at Camp Olympia, They stayed in the Hermes Cabin for a whole week before they were claimed by their mother, Hestia, Greek Goddess of Hearth, Home, and Family, which shocked Camp, once again, like Leilani.

## Personality

Emily is a quiet, shy girl who is like her mother Hestia. She is a very kind girl who is willing to help anyone in need. She loves her cousins and friends and will. One of Emily’s flaws is her nature to get overly emotional. Even though she is a generally bubbly and friendly individual, she will start cussing people out in her own "curse words" (i.e: muffin head) due to her disliking swears. Whenever someone swears, she would stop whatever she was doing and begin her routine of yelling language and then lecturing them by using her dictionary of curse words. Other than that she is a very friendly person to be around. While Emily may seem like the stereotypical good girl, Emily does have her chaotic and loud side. While seen as a peacemaker, she is known to shout when things get out of hand. Like her mother, Emily is a good natured gentle and understanding woman who never says a bad word about anyone. She often gets stressed when the fourteen Olympians fight because she’s the one to break them up. Emily, when he chaotic side shoes, is known to set things on fire. Emily hates when there is tension in the air and will always try to cool the hot spirits. When things get to intense, she has away of getting everyone's attention. Emily is portrayed to be of a calm, relaxing, and humble disposition. As opposed to her friends who are often aggressive, but she loves them a lot. Emily is also is very social and will talk to anyone that comes her way and loves being in massive crowds of people. She is brave and confident, she is a cheerful person, something many people like about her. She believes in living life to the full and not worrying about tomorrow, she doesn't get angry easily. But when she does, she becomes aggressive and violent. She also is very social and will talk to anyone that comes her way and loves being in massive crowds of people, mostly with her friends. Both upbeat and off the beat, Emily is not afraid to be herself. She will actively defend her individuallity, as well as others', as she views it as one of the most important things you can have in life. However, this take on life makes Emily especially sour towards the idea of teams, political parties, and/or group t-shirts. Emily is often described as a girl with a fiery soul. A calm, collected girl, Emily is the type of person you'd go to for your problems. She's always up for helping anyone in need, no matter their status. Due to this, she's also extremely open minded and kind, not judging you- *most* of the time. You must really do something bad for her to become judgmental. Emily is also sarcastic, honest, and occasionally getting herself in trouble for her honesty. Some people may not be her friends because of her honesty, but she prefers honesty over sugarcoating things (unless it may hurt someones feelings- then you probably sugarcoat it *slightly*). Emily doesn't stand for any sort of injustice, and will stand up for what she believes. Around her friends, she can become an adventurous, yet careful and protective mother. She cares very deeply for the ones she considers as friends, and will be very loyal to them, occasionally surprising them with baked goods. Emily is extremely secretive though, so it takes some time for her to open to someone. If she let's someone in, it's because she trusts them with her life, or she's really exhausted and just wants someone to listen to her. She enjoys being able to goof off with her friends, since being able to vibe together is what makes a good friendship (that's what she says). Her friends are also the only ones that really tend to see her in her 'indecisive' and 'not calm' moods, especially when it comes to making big decisions on the whim. Emily’s friends are also the ones who see her ‘romantic’ side. They are know that she’s a big romantic, even though she doesn’t have anyone she’s in love with or likes. Emily will fangirl whenever she finds out that one of her friends are in some sort of relationship and she will do her absolute best to make sure that her friends are satisfied in that relationship. Her friends can always come to her to talk about their time with their s/o and she will be more than happy to listen to them. She does wish she could find her own true love, and can be seen daydreaming about it sometimes. She doesn't talk much about her destiny, since she believes it's not something that's really big and important. The times Emily does talk about being like her mother is when she has too for camp, is asked, or someone brings it up. Other than that, she doesn't mention it much.

### Fatal flaw

Emily's fatal flaw is naivety. She thinks that everyone a good heart. Her cousin Aubrey helps her realize that this a dangerous fatal flaw to have and to try and prevent it from being the death of her, she goes into a state of seclusion.

## Appearance

Emily is noted to be a teenage girl, around seventeen years old, of Hispanic (Mexican) descent and is said to have brown hair that had been dyed fades to dark orange, although it has now been un-dyed to just brown, warm tanned skin, and she has eyes of red or orangish-red that radiate warmth as well as feelings of comfort and friendship. She also likes to wear a dark orange shirt, a gray jacket, black leggings, and orange converse.

## Powers and Abilities

### Hestia Kid Powers

* She is powerful a demigod due to being a child of one of the "Big Three Goddesses" (Hestia, Demeter, and Hera) and 9s on equal footing with children of the Big Three brothers. For that reason, monsters tend to be drawn to her quite easily. However, given the nature of her immortal mother, She will not fight, being a pacifist at heart. If she absolutely must, she is not an opponent to be taken lightly.
* She has the ability to communicate with donkeys, and by extension, mules and hinnies as they are hybrids of donkeys. She can somewhat understand horses and other equines, as well.
* Much like children of Hephaestus, she has pyrokinesis as well as authority and control over fire. The fire she commands and summons is usually mild and is mainly used defensively rather than offensively, but it can be used for battling purposes. While she is not able to be burnt due to being fireproof, she does not have any control over lava or magma.
* She has powers relating to the home and family, much like her mother does.
* She has the ability, albeit more limited than her mother, to look into the past of an individual and know the history of that individual, as well as information of their family (She can look back at that individual's history as far as 10 years prior to their current age).
* She can send anyone back to the school with a simple flick of their wrist and can teleport back there as well, unless something is interfering with her powers or she is too weak and/or hungry.
* Much like her mother, she has the ability to induce serenity. However, this ability can only be used for up to twelve hours as if she attempts to maintain it for longer than that, she will fall unconscious from exhaustion.
* Not only does she have the ability to summon edible food with the snap of her fingers or can turn an ingredient into a meal (e.g., she can turn one egg into an omelet), but she is also exceptional at cooking. She is also masterful when it comes to on-the-fly cooking, with the taste of a home-cooked meal. If she uses the ability of conjuring food out of nothing 10 times, she has to wait one hour to use it again otherwise she drops from exertion.
* She can not only protect her friends and loved ones from within a hearth (whether electrical or natural) by attacking from the hearth whilst hiding within the hearth, making her intangible, but she can use the fire from the hearth to burn the assailant without burning the area around her.

## Etymology

The name Emily is derived from the Roman family name Aemilius. The Aemilius family was a prominent and powerful family in ancient Rome. The name may come from the Latin word aemulus meaning “rival,” or the Greek term aimylos meaning “wily” or “persuasive.”

The most common meaning of the Garcia surname is the patronymic "descendant or son of Garcia" (the Spanish form of Gerald). The personal name Garcia is of uncertain origin, however, the given name Gerald is a Germanic name meaning "rule of the spear," from the elements ger (spear) and wald (rule)
