## History

### Early Life

Rosabella Lycia was born to Bellerophon, Slayer of The Chimera and son of Poseidon and Philonoe, princess of Lycia in Lycia, Greece. (Again, most people should know the story, but this explains how her parents met so, I'm adding it here). When Bellerophon arrived in Lycia to face the ferocious Chimera, he could not harm the monster even while riding Pegasus. He felt the Chimera's hot breath and was struck with an idea. He got a large block of lead and mounted it on his spear. He then flew head-on towards the Chimera, holding out the spear as far as he could. Before breaking off his attack, he lodged the block of lead inside the Chimera's throat. The beast's fire-breath melted the lead, which blocked its air passage, suffocating it. Bellerophon returned victorious to King Iobates. On Bellerophon's return, however, the king was unwilling to believe his story. A series of daunting quests ensued: Bellerophon was sent against the warlike Solymi and then against the Amazons, who fought like men, whom Bellerophon vanquished by dropping boulders from his winged horse. When he was sent against a Carian pirate, Cheirmarrhus, an ambush failed when Bellerophon killed everyone sent to assassinate him. The palace guards then were sent against him, but Bellerophon called upon Poseidon, who flooded the plain of Xanthus behind Bellerophon as he approached. To defend themselves, the palace women rushed from the gates with their robes lifted high to expose themselves. Unwilling to confront them while they were undressed, Bellerophon withdrew. Iobates relented, produced the letter, and allowed Bellerophon to marry his daughter Philonoe, the younger sister of Anteia, and shared with him half his kingdom, with its fine vineyards and grain fields. The lady Philonoe bore him Isander, Hippolochus, Laodamia, and finally, Rosabella herself

### Childhood and her father's death

Rosabella loved her life in Lycia. She had two great parents and three awesome siblings. Her father taught his sons, and Rosabella how to use a sword while her mother taught her daughters, Ladamia and Rosabella how to be royalty. All of her siblings were rather protective of her, so she was with them almost all the time. Meanwhile, as Bellerophon's fame grew, so did his arrogance. Bellerophon felt that because of his victory over the Chimera, he deserved to fly to Mount Olympus, the home of the gods. That act of hubris angered Zeus and he sent a gadfly to sting Pegasus, causing Bellerophon to fall back to Earth. Pegasus completed the flight to Olympus where Zeus used him as a pack horse for his thunderbolts, and he ended up falling to his death. Rosabella mourned her father, but began to feel out of place as her siblings began to grow into royals while she was left as the youngest princesses. Meanwhile, down under the waves, Poseidon was given a vision that Rosabella would one day be a great hero. When she was fifteen, Poseidon kinda kidnapped her and brought her to Atlantis.

### Immortal Life

Rosabella had a decent time in Atlantis, following her grandfathers orders, being a good kid, etc. Rosabella would cry when she found out her siblings died, and was often comforted by her step-grandmother, Amphitrite, who was strangely kind to her, almost motherly. At the age of seventeen, she was made immortal by Poseidon. Rosabella spent her time training with her uncle, Triton, and also met some of her other uncles and aunts like Rhode and Kymopoleia. Rosabella would soon make a friend one day. Her grandfather took her with him when he went to Olympus, and met Neilos, son of Perseus and they became friends with each other. True, they were rarely allowed to visit or hang each other, they would often try to write to each other or use Iris Messages. After a few hundred years went by, and it was near the end of the second titan war that Poseidon would send Rosabella to Camp Olympia. Poseidon, seeing as he already sent Naomi, Caspian and Moana to camp, decided to send Rosabella there as well Rosabella was sent to Camp Olympia in Big Bear where he was claimed as a Legacy of Poseidon and was moved into the Poseidon cabin.

## Personality

Rosabella is a very interesting young girl. She loves to laugh with her friends and can be very giggly and excitable, however, Rosabella is ***not a nerd***. Much of her personality will make it seem as if she's high-strung, sensible or down-to-earth. She is not. Your mental image of her will look like she wears glasses and a ponytail and practical blazers, carrying a book or a clipboard. She does not. Signe is not a nerd, she is a striver. There is no denying that Rosabella is just as fierce as the people who she shares her story with. The one difference is that her manner of murder involves her words. She is fully capable of cutting people down with only a few statements. She is good at reading people, and *there is no escaping the sharp and harsh truth as Rosabella finds all your flaws and stabs at them with her perfectly manicured fingernails.* If she doesn’t intend to hurt though, she tries to be as considerate as possible with what she says. She appears calm and balanced on the surface, and in all fairness she is, but underneath she keeps a restless energy that always keeps her going. She is inquisitive, and always seeking. She is not easily satisfied, often compelled by desires and hunger that she can neither fulfill nor comprehend. Rosabella has a dominant and individualistic personality and doesn’t take well to being subordinate. She desires to be her own boss, and thankfully most people trust her to handle herself on her own. She is also known to pick fights with others, and is aggressive as heck. Rosabella is unexpectedly unreasonable. Still, Rosa finds it difficult to settle down and stabilize for long term, especially since she is often dissatisfied with everything. Given a certain task, Rosabella can be seen tirelessly working to perfect it. She is said to be very indecisive. She has a clever and resourceful mind. She is also known to have a good eye for detail and a well-rounded work ethic. Rosabella works hard to achieve any goals she sets, and is most definitely a perfectionist. She has a strong desire for accomplishment. She wants to deliver something outstanding and worthwhile for herself. Rosabella easily expresses a very debonair charm to those she meets, which always makes a very favorable impression. Rosabella is naturally very appealing and is never without any admirers. She also has a bit of a goofy streak, some might even call her eccentric. But don't mistake her for being silly. She only makes light of little things. She is charming, aggressive and incredibly vengeful. Signe might just be the pettiest person you can meet. Nosy. Okay, everyone else says she's nosy, she says she's just curious. Whenever something a little weird happens, or someone acts a little differently then they normally do, Rosabella pounces on it like a lion on a gazelle. She needs to know every little detail about it, and whether or not she needs to make sure it goes back to being normal. Hard headed, which means she's stubborn and very, very difficult to negotiate with when she wants something done the way she wants it to be done when she wants it to be done. This can be a little annoying, especially for teachers. But she is not hard-hearted. Rosabella has a big heart and she is very caring. She cares about people who seem like they are having a bad day and she'll text them or leave a bouquet of flowers at their dorm room door addressed to them. And she cares about plants. Ever since she was little, whenever she had come across neglected, dying plants, she'd take them home with her (sometimes getting in trouble for "stealing" them) and "nurse" them back to health. She does that even now, so her room is littered with plants of all kinds, some looking pretty healthy, while others look like they are almost dead. Actually, gardening isn't very high on her list of favorite things to do. It's pretty low, but something inside her makes her want to rescue the plants, but those are all the plants she takes care of, she doesn't plant any of her own. Overall, Rosabella is an interesting person

### Fatal flaw

The same as her father, Rosabella's fatal flaw is her arrogance, which, if not under control, could lead to hubris.

## Appearance

Rosabella is described as looking very similar to her father (and by proxy her Grandfather). Rosabella is described with dark wavy hair, similar to ocean waves, and is often tied into a ponytail, with a blue water lily behind her right ear. She has shiny and bright sea-green eyes, and smooth light tanned skin. While living in Ancient Greece, she wore traditional ancient Greek clothing, but now at camp she wears a ocean blue sweater, a white shirt with an ocean like theme to it, a blue and white tie-dye skirt, and black sneakers/brown sandals
