**Personality (at least a sentence or two):**
For someone who is raised in a cult all her life but also exposed to the slightly shady parts of humanity, Annie is a very sunshine-y type of person. She's very carefree with little to no worries in her life. She's in tune with her own emotions and feels them freely, though she only willingly shows her positive emotions around others and lets herself experience her negative emotions only in private. Annie is very introspective, to the point where she's often lost in her own head analyzing her emotions and experiences. She believes she can solve all of her personal problems by herself, never needing too much help since her deck can answer whatever questions she may have. She loves being independent, often claiming that people give her a quick rundown of whatever they want her to do and she can figure it out by herself. And she usually does, thanks to her innate luck as Tyche's daughter.

**History (at least two paragraphs):**

— Henley Moore-Byun is a street magician/con artist who is a part of an underground cult that believes themselves to be blessed by Circe. Whether it's a fact or not remains a mystery, but Henley never really cared to find out. Elders of the cult had found her as a baby and raised her to be what she was today, and she wasn't ungrateful enough to question them. However, Henley's a little outlier of the cult. While the cult themselves wants to pursue the mysteries behind actual magic, Henley just wanted to enjoy life as it is.

— A little thing about Henley is that, for a regular mortal, she possessed an unusual amount of luck, though only in small bursts that would only help her in making successful cons here and there. Every time she pulls off a trick, things were just somehow in the right place at the right time. This trait of hers would lead her to catching the eye of Tyche, who was very intrigued. Tyche doesn't remember blessing Henley or her bloodline, nor does Henley feel like a demigod. This means Henley's luck must be, well, a genuine stroke of luck.

— Henley and Tyche had a quick romance. Henley wasn't looking for something lasting, and Tyche was only fueled by her own curiosity. In the end, they parted ways amicably. Henley thought that'd be the last she'd see of her old flame, until a small baby arrived at her doorstep one spring morning.

— Annabiel Orlaith Guseul Moore-Byun's beginnings were quite similar to her mortal mother's but also not. While she was found by the cult at their doorstep, the difference between her mother's discovery and her own was that Annabiel had a small card in her basket detailing her origins and her parentage. With confirmation from a demigod member, the cult considered themselves blessed to have another demigoddess in their ranks.

— Annabiel, or Annie, grew up with a *lot* of parents, raised in the doctrines of the cult, which was mostly about revering Circe and learning their 'magic'. By the time Annie was 8, she was already on the streets performing with her mother.

— As there were 2 demigods in the cult who were aware of who they were but chose not to join Camp nor BC, they were able to assist in Annie's first monster attack at age 10: a Fire-Breathing horse. Annie was relatively unharmed, save for a nasty burn on her lower back. After that, the demigods trained Annie themselves so she can defend herself in the future.

— At age 13, Annie unknowingly came across Hermes in human disguise. She saw what she thought was an innocent delivery man being harassed by a group of a\*\*holes and moved to help him by diverting the group's attention to her and giving him time to sneak away. Hermes was quite amused by Annie's valiant effort that he approached her later on to give her a deck of cards as thanks.

— "These cards will answer any question you ask. Well, almost any question." was all Hermes told Annie when he gave her the deck, immediately vanishing once the teen was distracted by the cards.

— She would brush the incident to the back of her mind until the words of the man came true one night, when Annie tried asking the cards something relatively mundane.

— "What will mom prepare for breakfast tomorrow?"

— The cards wiggled and spat out 3 cards with the following images: a comically tall pancake stack, a croissant, and a dancing waffle. The next morning, Annie's breakfast were pancakes, a croissant, and a waffle. Annie showed it to her parents, where she would discover that the deck would answer to her only. The cult declares the deck a blessing from Circe entrusted to Annie.

— Throughout the years, Annie mastered how to interpret her deck and piece together its abilities and limits. Though the deck won't be of much help to the cult's goals, it did help them financially as the deck was surprisingly good at finances.

— Annie ended up at Camp at 17 years old because she wanted to find out more about being a demigod past what her two mentors could teach her. The cult let her go, but Annie promised to return once she was satisfied with what she has learned.

**Annie's Blessing**

— from Hermes

— Annie possesses a deck of cards that has the ability to do minor divination. Annie can ask it a question and she will pull exactly 3 cards from the deck that, when interpreted, will give the answer to her question. The images of the cards in the deck change depending on the question Annie has asked. They take their images from stock photos in Google.

— Annie can only ask questions that are within general demigod and mortal knowledge. This means that she cannot ask questions pertaining to divine things, such as sensitive locations related to the gods and the secrets of the gods. She also cannot ask for information on major future events and can only ask about the chances of something happening based on what she has done prior, and only within a time period of a week. If a major historical event is about to happen within that timeframe, the cards would refrain from answering.

— The deck is basically a glorified search engine that cannot go past certain 'firewalls' and can only give answers that gods, especially Hermes, would allow mortals and demigods to get.

— The deck answers to Annie only (and presumably Hermes as well). If anyone else would attempt to ask a question, the deck would remain silent.

— The power of the deck comes from Hermes himself, which means Hermes can revoke the divination powers of the deck anytime.
