Ferryn Dara

**Ferryn Dara**

History

Elijah Dara was a young university English professor when he met Mnemosyne, he was relatively new to the field but his conviction to the subject and what he could teach the younger generations is what drew Mnemosyne to him. She sat in the back of his lecture hall and at the end introduced herself as a visiting professor. With no further classes for the day he invited her for coffee to continue their discussion.

Their coffee date ended with her informing him she was in town the next again week for a conference and would get in touch with him then. She did just that and their coffee date turned into a dinner date, followed by another and another. Eventually one thing led to another and they ended up back at Elijah's flat. He woke up the next morning to her having just disappeared. When he tried to call her it was as if the number had never existed.

In truth by the time the baby turned up on his doorstep in a basket nine month's later a single letter tucked in beside her, he'd pretty much forgotten about the visiting professor who he'd had a whirlwind romance with. In fact he'd been entirely confused until he'd read the letter addressed to him informing him all about the greek gods and that the baby in the basket, was his.

To say he freaked out was an understatement. He wasn't ready to settle down! He wasn't ready to be a father! But what choice did he have? He couldn't exactly drop it off anywhere, he was pretty sure Greek Gods weren't likely to accept the responsibility for raising a child. Clearly not when they were willing to drop a baby off at essentially a strangers doorsteps (I mean seriously, very irresponsible parenting!).

Elijah got married four years later to Isabella Grey. And for the longest time they were a perfectly happy family. Ferryn grew up knowing nothing about her heritage, she did farely decently in school despite her moderate dyslexia and ADHD. She retained information extraordinarily well, so well that it worried her father to the extent he sat her down and told her she should hold back just a little in order not the embarrass the other kids.

Ferryn's first monster attack occurred on her eleventh birthday. Her parents had thrown her a birthday party to celebrate and her and the other kids were playing outside when an empousa attacked them. What the other kids saw Ferryn never knew but the half vampire half donkey cyborg woman haunted Ferryn's dreams for years to come. Their screams attracted the attention of the adults inside who came running out, her father knew instantly what was happening, he'd been warned about it in the letter he'd recieved on her birth. He instructed his wife to run and take Ferryn with her. He'd meet up with them as soon as he could. He stood no chance against the empousa and he knew it, but he couldn't let it hurt his daughter. It was the last time either of them ever saw Elijah.

Isabella fled with Ferryn to a hotel two towns over and waited for her husband to get in touch. By the time week three rolled around it became clear to Isabella that he wasn't coming and something about that made her snap. You see Isabella was one of the few mortals who could see through the mist, she'd seen the empousa for what it was and it had messed with her head. She became convinced that there was monsters hunting them (Which there was), that night she packed up what mesely things they'd purchased since fleeing and purchased two flights to paris.

For the next five years Ferryn grew up moving from place to place every few months always after a new strange event occured, which she'd later learn were attacks that they ran from. From France to Germany to Italy (they had a brief stint in Greece which ended with them running from a rather strange old man). Ferryn didn't mind so much, she found the languages of each country easy enough to leaern she had no issues communicating with people. They travelled the world never staying anywhere for too long until shortly before her sixteenth birthday when her stepmother completely lost it in a public place screaming about how the monsters were out to get them. They sedated her long enough to get her to a hospital where it was decided she would have to stay until she got better. And so Ferryn was sent to live with family members in the states.

She only lasted with her aunt and uncle three weeks before she was attacked by a monster. A telekhine who came charging out of the sea towards her. She'd frozen in place, this was what she'd been seeing for years. These creatures, ones everyone else was convinced weren't real. The ones that had driven her mother (as she knew her) insane. The monster had been practically upon her before it was stopped in its tracks by an arrow. She'd watched as the monster had exploded into dust before registering the fact that hello someone's firing arrows nearby that could most definitely kill her.

Spinning round she came face to face with the girl who lived three doors down from her aunt and uncle. She'd introduced herself as Grace, daughter of Iris goddess of the rainbow. Ferryn was almost certain the girl was insane, not that she was going to tell that to the girl holding the deadly weapon. Grace took the time to explain to her about the greek gods and eventually explained to her about camp half blood. Ferryn still thought she was mad but she couldn't ignore the fact the monster or whatever it was had been coming straight for her. And the empousa at her tenth birthday part hadn't went after the other kids. So when Grace suggested they took a trip to camp, just to see she agreed.

Personality

Mauve struggled with the instability of her life. Sure, she enjoyed the chance to move around and meet people, learn new things. But she resented the fact she never got the stable home the people she stayed with had. She never had a real family, real friends. It became tiresome, the constant moving, the constant change. It wasn't as if languages was a barrier, she picked them up ridiculously quickly but she never got the chance to develop any real lasting relationships other than that with her mother.
Ferryn blames herself for her fathers death and her mothers commital even when she didn't know about the greek gods. Now she knows she blames herself even more. She's easy to get along with however She's lacking the ability to develop friendships past a certain point. She doesn't know how to make people stay.
