## History

### Early Life

Karina Willows was born to Nayeli Willows, a clear sighted mortal and Eros, the god of Love in Reykjavík, Iceland on February 14, 2004. One day, Nayeli was sitting at Kirkjusandur beach drinking white wine. She felt lonely, and although she had an amazing job as an actress, tons of money, and a mansion, she just felt lonely. All the members of her family were dead and she was all alone. Then a guy, beautiful and strong, named Ian came up to her. He asked her what time it was, then that turned into a conversation when he asked her why she was on the beach so alone. They drank until they were drunk and ran together. Nayeli finally felt wanted. They started doing it. He then revealed himself as Eros, A god on Mt.Olympus. She was surprised. Both Nayeli and Eros loved each other so much, but sadly he had to go back to Mt. Olympus because he did not belong on Earth. She then realized she had a child when her period was 2 weeks late, so she went to buy a pregnancy test and that's when she realized she was pregnant, she then named the tiny baby Karina when she was born on Valentine's day and made her middle name Agape for she was small and strong.

### Childhood

Karina grew up an amazing life. She read a lot of Greek myths, and she always felt connected to it somehow. She loved learning about monsters like Medusa. She had a lot of freedom, and had EPIC stuff. She took lessons in bow and arrow because her mom felt she needed self-defense and made her do karate. Of course, Karina didn't think this was needed. Everyone in her classes when she was younger were jealous because she was popular and she had money. she was kind of an it-girl you could say. She loved all this attention. Even the boys loved her. She had a knack for also being a matchmaker for she loved and dreamed of love. She had straight A and made it sound like life is a piece of cake. Sometimes her mother would make up funny things like be careful of those students just to "protect her." "Protect me from what?" Karina thought, but ignored it.  Well, as much as her childhood was great, there was one incident that scared Karina for life. A year before she turned ten, she was touched inappropriately by her music teacher. The teacher told Karina to not tell her mom. This continued two more times, and eventually she stopped music entirely

### Monster Attacks

Once she turned ten, everything changed. She then met a cyclops who tried to take her down at Kirkjusandur beach, while there was only one person there. She literally almost died after the cyclopes attack. It was such a blast, yet terrifying her at the same time. As the cyclopes picked her up and tried to throw her into the ocean so she could drown, she bit him and he let her go. Then the only other man on the beach tossed her a sword. She felt like she knew him. She was confused. But, she realized there was a time to be confused later. She jabbed the Cyclopes so hard. The cyclopes then fell and she kept the sword at its neck. She then cut off his neck and golden sparks shot out, then it was gone. She thought it was over after she defeated her, but it wasn't. Soon enough monsters like Lamia, a snake like demon who feasted on children, attacked her, while at a park. She was then attacked the day she turned eleven it was a wondrous event, until the 2 harpies showed up. Karina jabbed at them and tried to hurt them with a crystal bowl, she realized that wouldn't work, she remembered the sword that she found and ran to her room. She started stabbing them with the sword and cutting them Sharkeisha style. Since people saw her.... her popularity kinda went downhill but there were some people that pretended to think this was an act that Karian’s mom bought to scare the guest. She didn't understand this. Her mother tried to explain, she was a demigod but Karina didn't believe her.

### Heading to Camp

She did not know that the man on the beach was the satyr that was watching her, Nick. She survived 2 months  at least because he realized by the way she's fighting, she's going to die. He then decided to let her be at 12 for he was fighting all her fights. He wanted her to get a bit more practice so he watched her carefully, but didn't fight. He planned to bring her to Camp Olympia few days after her 12th birthday. She kept on with her life pretending she was normal, but it clearly wasn't. She had the biggest 12 birthday and did some, actually scratch that A LOT of partying. She was joyful. She got attacked by an empousa 2 days later after the birthday bash. She tried killing it, but a goat-furry thing came and she fell. Then, she blacked out. When woke up she saw a satyr. She screamed, " AHHH! there is a GOAT THING !!" The satyr said “My name is Nick, I'm supposed to bring you to Camp Olympia.” Karina broke down crying. "My mom where is she?", she asked. The satyr patted her. "She's gone, just disappeared into the world, now I have to lead you to Camp Half-blood so let's get a giddy up on this thing, oh and here's the necklace your mother wanted to give you before she ran off. "Now how did you kill the empousa and were you that guy on the beach?' Karina asked. " I finished off what you didn't finish and duh, don't you think I would get out of my seat and start screaming", Nick smirked. "Why didn't you help?"said an angry Karina, "So you can practice, when we go to Camp Olympia of course." They were so close, but yet again the empousa showed up. " I thought I killed you!", she shouted. "Well think again prissy", and then the empousa . Nick threw her a golden bow and 20 shiny arrows and she missed it 6 times. "Breakfast and lunch, yum!", the empousa shouted. Nick kept trying to distract the empousa but yelling "Stupid empousa", but the empousa was occupied with Karina. Karina then shot at her leg first and then shot at her chest and she fell to her despair and death. Karina then fell and fainted from shock. When she woke up, she saw another boy with Nick and asked Nick who was he was and where she was, Nick said, “His name is Max Palasios, son of Aphrodite” Nick said, motioning to a boy with hot pink eyes “You are in Camp Olympia preferably the infirmary miss." Max said "Oh and you are the daughter of Eros." She stayed in the Hermes Cabin for a bit and was soon claimed by Eros

## Personality

Karina is a very kind person. She, like Max, gives good love advice. Whether it’s how to get out of a toxic relationship or how to talk to their crush, she is also very loyal. She also can't stand to see anyone abused in any form, sexually, emotionally, or physically as she was s3xu@lly abused as a kid. She and Melody had shared stories about their past. She also hates reading arranged marriages in books, movies, or fanfics as she thinks you should be able to find the one you love and it shouldn’t be chosen for you. She, Max, and Aubrey hang out a lot to talk about ships in fandoms and tend to fangirl. Karina is an extremely sweet and caring young woman. She is very helpful and will always lend a hand when needed. She is a girly girl, if she gets dirty without wanting to, she will find a way to get you back. Karina is, unsurprisingly, a romantic and passionate young demigod, not only on the "romantic love" side, though. She tries to have an idealized view of reality and comes off as rather dreamy and idealistic. Of course, she's not the most optimistic girl around, but she tries her best to see the positive part of situations and constantly encourages her friends to do the same. Karina is generally friendly and nice. She's very quick to help people, and loves nothing more than seeing the face of someone he's just helped. She grins every small funny thing, even if she doesn't find it funny. Her main motive is to make other people feel good about themselves. She can get arrogant at times, and she bottles up his anger and takes it out on the one person that pulls the final straw. Despite some of the trauma in her childhood, she has a very bubbly personality that often attracts friends. She always wants people to think the best of her, and can't possible imagine anyone disliking her. She can be shy, but she usually enjoys being more of a tomboy-like person. She enjoys getting dirty, but not when she's wearing nice clothing. She enjoys being right, she can't stand it when people make fun of her cousin for being protective. She enjoys jokes, but doesn't like it when people joke around. Karina is extremely loyal to those she loves, friends and family alike, and will go to great lengths for any of them. She loves animals and being in nature as well, especially when camping or hunting with friends. She's fairly easy-going and nice to most people, at least at first, but she *really* does not take kindly to people that are mean to her for no apparent reason. She does try to be friends with everyone, and is usually very successful.
