## History

### Early Life

Skye O'Connell Rosenberg was born to Aldo O'Connell Rosenberg, a mortal man and Minerva, Roman goddess of wisdom, reason, crafts, weaving, war, strategic war, battle strategy, courage, law, justice, strength, inspiration, and civilization in Uranium City, Saskatchewan, Canada on June 9, 2004. It had been two years since the Cyclone Roller Coaster had killed his daughter, Ocean and the rest of The St Cassian Chamber Choir. Aldo mourned for a bit, but he needed to provide for his family. Aldo was a scholarly fellow. Not one to stand out in a crowd he often fell into the background always deep in some book or another. After college he had picked up a job in a coffee shop and it was perfect for him. He had unlimited time to read because the coffee shop was a quiet place where people came got their coffee sat down and did the same as he. His life was routine; wake up, go to the coffee shop, read his favorite books for the month, go home and eat, read, sleep. And that was his life. Until the day he met a young woman in the shop.

He was an older fellow of roughly 27 when he met her. She had come into the coffee shop looking for the book he had checked out from the library. She had gotten his name and where he worked from a friend of his who frequented his shop often. She was always trying to set Aldo up. But this one she had been dead eye marked on. She was a beautiful woman with long flowing brown hair and a pair of glasses that perched perfectly on her nose, who called herself May. When she spoke it was like a song and it took Aldo a long time to reply. When he finally found his voice they had a lengthy conversation about the book and she left with both the book and his number which she had talked him out of to call about the book. And so they chatted, a new section to Aldo's routine, every day about this book or that. They often spent hours on the phone exchanging philosophy. Normally, Aldo would never cheat on his current wife, but since Ocean died, their love life had been...declining to stay the least, and with May, he felt like he was falling in love again. And after about a year of back and forth he finally asked her to be with him. She told him she couldn't because she had to leave soon. And sure enough a month later the calls stopped. Her number no longer existed in the registry and Aldo was heartbroken, but never told his wife why, he just said he was missing their daughter.

Aldo was still heartbroken but a few days after the calls stopped a knock came at his door. He hoped it was the woman but as he opened the door he felt an odd sense come over him. And upon swinging the door in the whole way he revealed a small hand woven basket. Inside lay a sleeping baby girl. He had to read the note that she had left him several times over before he understood. They had spoken about Roman mythology but he had never anticipated being thrust into it. He took the little girl and tucked away the note and the items it had come with knowing they would be important some day. Skye was the name he gave the little girl. Aldo came up with a story about how this baby was just left on their doorstep and they decided to take care of her as their own.

### Childhood

Like Ocean, Skye was brought up with the "hippie" life style, but she never "fit in" with the rest of her family. Skye loved learning history. Skye was a bright girl by everyone's accounts. She was completing puzzles by age three and was able to skip straight to kindergarten at four. She excelled in school and was loved by all her teachers. She didn't get along with the other kids much, well, except for one girl named Iris Blackwood (who unbeknownst to both of them was the daughter of Manzat), who soon became her best friend. As she grew up, she became distant with her step-mother and her father, and she would try to stay out of her house by doing sports and playing games in the street with Iris. Her first priority was schoolwork, then fencing and martial arts, which she loved, and then socializing. She excelled at the first two, having a natural talent in languages and combat sports, to the delight of her parents, and was decent enough at the last to make enough friends. As her childhood went on, she began longing for more outside her small home in Uranium, so, she decided to leave.

### Leaving Uranium

During summer break when Skye was eleven years old, she went to The Blackwood Cafe to visit Iris and tell her about her plan. When she got there, she found Iris playing with her mother's phone at one of the tables

"Iris!"

"Oh, hey Skye"

"I have some exciting news!"

"Oh, okay what?"

Skye got close to her friend and whispered "I'm leaving Uranium!"

Iris gained a shocked look. "You're moving?" She asked. Skye shook her head. "Nope! Like, I'm running away from Uranium!"

"Okay...Why?"

"I want to explore the world! Don't you? I mean sure, this city is fine, but it's kinda...boring and I want to explore the world!"

"Okay...makes sense...but what would your parents think?" Iris asked

"To be honest, I'm not that close to them, I doubt they'll miss me..." Skye reasoned. Iris thought for a bit, traveling the world with her best friend... It actually sounded fun! Iris smiled and put her hand on Skye's shoulder. "What time are we leaving?" Skye smiled and told Iris to meet at the park at around midnight. The two meet at the park later that night and began their journey on foot.

### Monster Attack and Meeting some friends

The two girls had been traveling around Canada for the past few months and they finally made it to America, specifically to Montana. The two had been having fun seeing the cities outside of their small home and after a year of traveling, However, when the two girls had turned 12, they began attracting monsters and that's when the trouble started. The two had stopped at park to rest their legs and eat some chips they had bought (stole) from a store. While they were sitting, another girl who called herself Estella Lamb asked to sit with them. The two girls let her and Estella said that she was escaping her abusive family. While the three girls were sitting down, a chimera attacked them. Skye only had a knife that she had stolen from her father on her so she tried to stab the monster while Iris and Estella tried throwing rocks at it. While they struggled, three other boys, around their age, came over to help. One of the boys, who called himself Noah Gruber, explained how he and his friends (two boys named Jamie Potts and Marko Bachinski), were demigods and trying to get to Camp Olympia and that if the girl were attacked then that meant they were also demigods. After a long conversation and many questions, Skye, Iris and Estella agreed to go with them to Camp Olympia

### Coming to Camp

The six of them made their ways to camp on foot. They all spent their time getting to know each other and they all found out they all grew up in Uranium, well, except for Marko who lived in Ukraine until he was seven. They manged to get to camp with too many casualties and they actually had fun! Skye mentions she and the other played games and would often pretended they were superheros or pirates looking for treasure. They all finally made it to camp and were soon claimed by their respective godly parents.

## Personality

Skye is, for lack of a better word, clever. She just seems to know everything, doesn’t she? The daughter of Minerva has become almost notorious for having enviable grades amongst her fellow students, and she’s also known for being that one kid who adds extra into the lesson, answers all the teachers questions and constantly asks questions that delays the lesson even further. This has put her in quite an unfavorable place with her classmates, who would rather her not talk too much in class. Whenever people do confront her about it though, they find out that she’s actually really nice, which can make a person like her more or less, depending on who they are. Skye is the queen of small talk, and she knows how to make anyone comfortable, no matter who they are. Equality is something that she fights for, and she’s been seen around helping Joana fight for the rights of her beastly classmates. Skye refuses to go down as just another nerd. Something else that makes Skye look better than you is her strategic skills. She doesn’t just throw herself into things, oh no, she carefully maps out every single step of her actions. Her tactical skills are basically infallible, which usually shows up when she plays Clue, but if she were to ever get into a physical fight, one can almost guarantee that she will win it. Minerva’s the goddess of battle strategy, after all, and Skye is her mother’s daughter, through and through. Skye's a powerful Upstander and Idealist. Her priority is to support others no matter what. She wants to become a trusted ally to everyone. She's got a pretty blunt attitude, though. Helping others for a good cause is her passion, but she can be pretty hardcore and doesn't know when to quit. She's passionate for what she stands for and doesn't let anyone bring her down. She's not relentless. Sometimes, her mouth gets her in trouble and she can be very stubborn. Though she has her ideals on point and positivity to spread. Skye's not exactly an optimist. She can't help but find the worst possible situation, though she still does everything in her power to fix it. She doesn't believe that a positive attitude can fix everything, but she knows that every single small action makes a difference. Skye has several idols that she looks up to. She especially loves songwriters and music artists. Even though she's tone deaf, she loves to see how music influences the world. She's tried numerous times to write a song herself,but she later chose to stick to speeches. Skye literally never runs out of adrenaline. She can run for miles, shout for days, and smile forever. Without her own self-confidence, Skye feels as though she'd be lost. She is her main stability and without it, she would go into deep depression. She believes that only she and herself can get her out of a situation or during tough times. Only she is the one who convinces her to stand when the world wants her to crumble. This is why she is extremely protective over others; she wants them to find their own confidence for themselves. She is a girl who is very thoughtful. When she meets someone she always thinks about who they are and what their intentions might be. If she deems them to be friendly she will be very bubbly and outgoing. If she deems them anything else she will be shy and introverted. When she is relaxed and among friendly people she is always playful and happy but when she is under stress, she becomes very serious and focused. At first glance, Skye comes across as an extremely quiet and thoughtful young woman. She seems to have a million thoughts racing through her head and would often be caught daydreaming and/or staring off into space. Skye doesn’t really care about what people think of her; she’s very confident and well spoken, very smooth and laid back most of the time. Skye is extremely intelligent; her mind is her only friend, which is why you would often see her smiling to herself. She is also very independent, and dislikes relying on other people. She can be friendly, warm, and genuine, but she can be manipulative. Athletic, and a perfectionist to her performance, she works hard to perfect her skills. Skye often incorporates her intelligence into her athletic skills, and is very resourceful. Unfortunately, she is often very judgmental as well, and is extremely intolerant to mistakes. Plus, Skye is brutally honest, and is not afraid to hurt people’s feelings. Occasionally this brings her amusement, making her morally twisted. However deep down, she is just desperately lonely, but is too proud to ever admit it.

### Fatal flaw

Like most Athena kids, Skye's fatal flaw is Hubris or excessive pride. She often acts to proud for her own good, but understands that this might lead to her down fall

## Appearance

Skye is often described as an oddly beautiful young looking seventeen year old girl. She is described as having slightly wavy ginger hair that is often tied in a long ponytail, striking gray eyes that always seem to be analyzing things, and pale skin with some freckles on her skin. Skye is often seen wearing a white shirt with an owl on it, jeans, and black shoes
