## History

### Early Life

Nubia and Darius Adel were born to Apophis, god of chaos and destruction and Dendera Adel in Los Angeles, California on July 17, 2004. Dendera was the child of Anat and Yahya Adel two demigods whom made it big in the world. Thanks to that, she became a young heiress that was so beautiful, she made so many hearts flew but if it wasn’t for her wild side, she might find a man that’s right for her. Nonetheless, luck was on her side when she met Apophis. It isn’t wrong to say they had a chemistry. This relationship had its flings but it only lasted for a whole month before both of them called it quits in hope to not see each other again. Pitifully fate was cruel as after a few months Dendera found out she was pregnant. She wanted to have an abortion as she didn’t want to give up her wild life but she wasn’t willing to be a killer, in the end she decided to keep the twins after she saw them for the first time as she claims they looked royalty. She gave them names fit for royalty; Nubia Aya and Darius Cairo. Which in turn cause Dendera to realize about life so she started her new life by becoming a good mom for the twins. This shocked her parent when they returned, especially when they found out about the twins as before this they didn’t mind Dendera being a bit wild .That was what heiress does but having children out of wedlock was a bit far. So they threatens to send the twins to an orphanage in order to save their reputation but they saw how much their daughter loved the twins and thought it might be good for he. Therefore, they let the twins stayed.

### Childhood

This marked the beginning of the twins life in extravagance being given anything they wanted. Thankfully Dendera gave them a good idea of a few virtue that they need in their life, as she did not want them to be like her. This made them especially close, so when they were 3 she brought them to live with her while she was studying. Nubia remembers her early childhood being a good one, being rather close with her mom, but even closer with her twin brother, her other half. From the moment they entered this world, Nubia and Darius were inseparable, always entangled in each other's live, sharing every mile stone, every scrapped knee, and refusing to separate into different rooms as they grew but then, on their seventh birthday... everything went wrong

### Two Gifts

The twins were celebrating their seventh birthday in their home when a strange man came into their house. They were unaware that this man was their father, Apophis, and he went straight to the kitchen to talk with their mom. While the twins were rather confused, they continued to play with the toys they got from family members. In the kitchen, Dendera and Apophis argued with each other, with Dendera being angry and Apophis for being there and Apophis trying to justify himself, wanting to see his children. After a while, Apophis came out of the kitchen and sat down with the twins, giving them their birthday gifts. He gave Nubia a very pretty flower bracelet and Darius a book. The twins looked at the man confused, but the simply told them to use their gifts wisely and that they'll come in hand when they're older. The man soon left shortly after, and their mother came down and took the same gifts away, telling them she needed to see if they were safe. That same night, Darius snuck into their mother's room while Nubia and Dendera were asleep and got his book but his would have... devastating effects

### The Curse of Chaos

The next day, when Nubia woke up, there was a... change in her brother. Darius seemed strangely distant, he would glare at his sister when ever she wanted to play, was generally just not acting like the brother she's known all her life. This hurt Nubia, emotionally, not understanding why her brother was acting this way. Dendera was also confused, but she couldn't understand why her son was acting this way. Things really came to head when a week after noticing these changes, Darius had attacked his twin sister during the night with a pair of scissors when the twins were around eleven years old Nubia ran to her mom and Dendera was able to take the scissors away from her son. Luckily, Nubia wasn't seriously injured, getting a minor scratch during the confusion. After that night, Dendera brought this up with the twins' doctor. The doctors did psychopathic and sociopathic tests on Darius but they always somehow came back negative. Eventually, Darius and Nubia stopped sharing a room, due to the many times Darius had tried to hurt or kill his sister, which made Nubia very sad. At one point in time, Darius was sent to a mental hospital after one of his attempts to attack Nubia, but he was released two weeks later.

### Coming to Camp

Three years had passed and the twins were around fourteen years old when they finally came to camp. They hadn't experienced any monster attacks (if anything Darius was the constant monster attack in Nubia's life) but Dendera decided to send them both to Camp, the one Apophis told her about when the twins were born. Dendera entrusted Nubia with the gifts their father gave them, around seven years ago, the chaos tome and the bracelet, which became a silver dagger. Dendera then drove the twins to Big Bear, with Dendera keeping an eye on her son and explaining everything to her daughter. After a long drive, the twins were dropped off at Camp Olympia. Once at Camp, the twins were claimed by Apophis.

## Personality

For a daughter of Apophis, Nubia is uncharacteristically pleasant, possessing a rather grounded temperament and charming demeanor. She thrives best in a group of people, being able to share an experience with those around her and observe how ‘mortals’ interact. This sense of empathy causes her to be endearing towards others, looking out for her peers where she can and trying to not take herself so seriously, to not be consumed by her opulent background. At her core, she just wants to be a ‘normal’ girl who plays music and hangs around with her friends. Though considering she’s pale as anything, emits an inhuman amount of body heat, and can easily break any reflective object she touches, it’s hard for her not to feel self-conscious of her demonic attributes. Nubia feels as if she thrives when on-stage and has a strong affinity for the performing arts, initially starting off with musical ventures, having learned to play the piano in childhood and singing often as soon as she could recognize a tune. Though she'll be down to jam out with her roommate, she’s mostly put her band days behind her, now focusing her attention on acting. Though her charisma carries through to her acting, she struggles with the competitive atmosphere Camp Olympia’s theater club holds. Though playing a villain on stage often inspires her to come up with wicked plots and pranks to inflict on her student body, as to her, being a villain is just acting. While she’ll never accept it, Nubia is a bit of a brat. It’s not her fault, though, she’ll tell you – it's just kind of a genetic tick, a side-effect of growing up in a wealthy family. She knows what she wants – whether that be a good school report, a particular role in a play, a job offer, or particular solo in glee club – but doesn’t always know how to get it; and if fate doesn’t hand her a fail hand, she’ll usually end up having a tantrum or starting an argument somewhere. Her ambitions are mostly driven by a whim, and if they’re not grounded in a natural talent of hers -- notably acting or singing – she’s prone to struggle, kick up a fuss, and then give up. Of course, the idea of just hexing someone to bend to her will does come to mind at more testing times – though, to her, it’s unprofessional, un-showman-like. She tries to avoid using her more demonic inclinations outside of times of dire need as she’s come to terms that her hexes and mirror-based spellcraft are ‘a little shoddy’. Nubia’s sense of self-resentment is nothing compared to the animosity she occasionally feels towards others, however, as how she perceives others is heavily warped by what she sees in her reflection. Nubia has the ability to see visualizations of a person’s worst vices and inclinations through their reflections, much like how the hexed mirrors her family craft reflects a twisted reality. This power is often wielded involuntarily as she is still honing her skills. Whilst she does her best to ignore these visions, believing that people can choose to be good in spite of their issues. Though if someone were to rile her up, her judgment of them can very easily be sardonic and unforgiving. With Nubia Adel, what you see is what you get. She knows she doesn’t owe anyone anything, and she refuses to hide herself for others' comfort. As for what you get, Nubia is bold and brave. She’s a free spirit — no one tells her what to do. And if they do, she won’t listen. She’s self-assured and knows exactly what she wants out of life (which is to be a famous singer). Because of this, she can be a little stubborn and inflexible. She does things her way and her way only — even when she shouldn’t. She lives her life on the edge, having trouble staying still, especially when she hears music (she just needs to dance). She’s a morning person, unfortunately for her cousin, and has to try really hard not to blast songs in Sonny's ear every week. Sometimes, she can be too explosive. She’s not afraid to (verbally) fight back when in conflict and doesn’t compromise. That ties in with the inflexibility mentioned above. Unfortunately, her uncompromising attitude gets on people’s nerves and prevents her from ending conflict. This means that others often have to initiate apologies, and when they don’t, she just…never makes up with them. Despite all this, she is extremely supportive of her friends, doing whatever she can to uplift them when they’re upset. She’ll stick up for them whenever they need it, but is also there as a shoulder to cry on. She’s quite funny — her humor is legendary around Camp Olympia, and for good reason: she’s hilarious. Anyway, she’s overall an energetic, positive, and bold person who wants to achieve her dreams and support her friends no matter what.
