## History

### Early Life

Adya Burman was born to Kali, goddess of War, Anger, Time, Change, Creation, Destruction and Power and Krish Burman on June 14, 2004 in Manhattan, New York. 9 months earlier, Krish would have never wanted the child in the first place. He was one of the leaders of the rebellion groups in New York. He had caused chaos against the standing government, as he tormenting the citizens of the country. This discord among the nation attracted Kali, who had always loved a good fight. Noticing Krish's actions of destruction, she was seduced by him. One day, the rebel went incognito in the city of Manhattan, disguised in attempt to not be recognized. He had wanted to spy on the stable leaders of the country who were having a meeting in town, trying to find out about their plans for their next around of chaos. Kali had walked out of nowhere and flirted with Krish for a while, gaining his attention. As she invited him to her motel room, things happened. All he knew was, that the next morning, his bed partner was gone. The only sign proving her existence to the man was a letter from the goddess. It explained the mythological World, which Krish already knew, being clear sighted The letter also contained information about their future offspring, who John had decided to keep and name Adya, meaning First power.

### Childhood

As Adya was born to the world and given to Krish (Kali had left her by his doorsteps), he tried his best to hide her from his rebellion group, as a child might ruin his war-like reputation that inspired his teammates. But after a few months since the demigod's birth, he had died in a riot. Kali, hoping that her child could have a good future, sent her to a child of Eris, Eric Louis, telling him to take care of Adya. Eric was rather displeased of this, but decided to keep the child because of the goddess' threats. But he wasn't the best role-model for the young child to look up to. He drank and often left Adya alone in the house, going out. She grew up thinking Eric was her uncle. He didn't tell her about camp, as he thought she wasn't ready for the truth yet.

At the age of 10, Adya started inheriting her "uncles" bad habits. At school, she would always hang out with naughty children, often older than her, who would always make her do bad deeds. Influenced by the elder kids, she would even ditch school. When she turned 12, she was starting to get physically developed; which didn't go unnoticed by Eric. He began abusing Adya, in many ways. It made her close up, and stopped being true to herself. This also caused her to have anger issues. Any person that would even dare to briefly piss her off would get herself/himself yelled at and even hit. Things didn't get any brighter in Adya's life as she started developing a major case of ADHD.

### First Attack

As she turned 13, she was alone with Eric, celebrating her birthday. As someone had ringed the bell, Adya's hopes lighted up. But they soon went down the sink as there was a rather large, menacing dog at the doorsteps. Eric ran up to the attic, leaving Adya with what was actually a hell hound. She was attacked by the beast, until Eric finally came back down, with a cross bow. He aimed at the monster, and killed it in the snap of a finger. Adya, was however left with many injuries, that scarred her to this day. Demanding an explanation, the daughter of Kali was only told that it was an untamed dog. She didn't believe him, of course, but stayed silence in fear of getting abused again. She was attacked twice after that, and was luckily protected by Eric. But Eric had manipulated her into thinking that they weren't actual monsters. The main reason why he was lying was because of Kali, who had ordered him to only tell the truth to Kali when she was old enough to go to know and accept it.

### Coming to Camp

For the next two years, she wasn't harmed by any more monsters, as Eric protected her. But she had decided to finally stand up to Eric, as the curiosity of the event was eating her up. Eric told her the truth, thinking it was time she found out. He mentioned camp, and Adya soon begged him to attend it. He accepted, not wanting to deal with her anymore. After packing her things, they drove to California. The pair were luckily undisturbed by any monsters. As he dropped her off at the Hill, leaving as soon as possible, Adya entered the borders. She was claimed as a child of Kali, and now fits in with demigods.

## Personality

Adya is a kind, sweet and noble girl. She is very peace-loving and tries to avoid any sort of conflict with the other campers, but if conflict does happen she would try her best to stop it, so this earned her the nickname of 'Hippie Girl'. But inside she faces a psychological struggle as she battles against her very own nature, shunning her bloodlust and need for destruction. Much like her some heroes (Mainly Melody) she has PTSD but has a much better hold on it than others. She is faithful, kind hearted, spontaneous to the point of recklessness. She shows her love by giving people little things she's found. Rocks and pebbles, a little bit of shell, a cool looking leaf. Adya has great difficulty remembering important details, but could recite thirteen facts about a random dinosaur. This makes her appear frazzled and scatterbrained. She has a tendency to come off as rude when talking to someone, but she means well. Adya is a caring and sweet girl, one that would have made a great leader if she had come to camp a little sooner (like when the two wars were going on). Every little creature she cares deeply for, from tiny ants to giant whales, all equally. That is why she says thank you every time she eats an animal. People are treated just like how she treats animals, despite her PTSD Adya will try to help them no matter what and will try to never hurt them. Then there’s her Childhood memories affecting her. There are times when is not herself and she might hurt someone, but hurting someone is what snaps her back into her own memories and own personality. Even though she is royalty by her people’s standards, Adya doesn’t like being treated differently because she is. She just likes being treated like a normal person. She is also very quiet but curious. She won’t start up a proper conversation with people but will ask them questions, questions about anything. She is intimidating toward people, being confident and acknowledged on how to use her words when it comes to manipulating people. She very well recognizes her rude attitude, and is somewhat proud of it. After what she's been through back at home, she feels alone and neglected. Nevertheless she does only open up on a few people, where she loses her badass attitude, leaving only a funny and sarcastic girl. This attitude often comes out she's doing something revolving around art. Over the past months that she spent at camp, she became much more than some prissy girl, more mature and independent. She gained a sense of responsibility and is a true leader

### Fatal flaw

Adya's fatal flaw is her loyalty. She hates seeing the people she loves in pain, and would do anything to keep the safe
