## History

### Early Life

Zamaya was born to was born to Brittany Reynoso, a former fashionista and Jupiter, the Roman King of Olympus, god of the sky, thunder, lightning, kingship, honor and justice is Austin, Texas on December 22, 1999. Her younger brother, Isaac, son of Zeus was born five years later in 2004. After Zamaya’s birth Jupiter left the Reynoso household  (as is custom for gods) and Brittany became volatile, thinking that she was the best mortal because she caught the attention of the lord of the sky and leader of the gods. When Zamaya was five Jupiter came back as his Greek aspacet; Zeus, Zamaya noted that Jupiter in his Greek form was less fatherly and stern towards her and ignored her very often. Within the year, Isaac Reynoso who was unbeknownst to her a Greek demigod, was born. Zeus felt obliged to keep appearing at Brittany Reynoso’s house to please her, but departed a second time because she persisted him incessantly to grant her eternal beauty or a visit to Olympus. As a result, Brittany grew increasingly unstable, descending into alcoholism and performing silly stunts to get attention, which led to her career getting derailed. In 2002, when Zamaya was seven and Isaac was two  their mother took them for a picnic, but when Zamaya went to the car for the picnic basket, Hera/Juno took Isaac away to Lupa, a she-wolf, at the Wolf House and Zamaya  found only her mother, crying. Zamaya  was heartbroken by her brother's "death" and called his disappearance "the last straw" with her mother and ran away from home, never to return. This is the reason why Zamaya refuses to use her mother's last name, Reynoso, only doing so when it's extremely necessary.

### Meeting Andrew

When she was twelve, Zamaya came across another demigod, Andrew James, age fourteen, a son of Thetis and legacy of Hermes. They became friends and joined forces to fight the monsters that attacked them. It is hinted that they had romantic feelings for each other.

### Encounter with Hal and Meeting Melody

Andrew and Zamaya had been following Amaltheia for three days already, all the way to New Orleans While hiding from Amaltheia, Zamaya tells Andrew of how Amaltheia had been the one to lead her to Andrew in a dragon's cave outside Albany Amaltheia indicated for them to enter a tall, 'creepy' mansion, as Andrew describes it. Zamaya asks Andrew to use his legacy powers to unlock the door, and together they enter the house. Immediately, the door locked behind them, and even Andrew couldn't unlock it. Zamaya attempts to force open a window, but is attacked by the enchanted drapes. The two of them run upstairs, following a disembodied voice, until they reach another room. The door behind them locks again, and they are greeted by an elderly man who introduces himself as Halcyon Green, Legacy of Apollo. In the room, a cell traps a monster, a leucrota, as they later learn. Halcyon Green quickly clarifies that the leucrota spoke for him, as Apollo punished him by taking his voice and trapping him in his mansion. Halcyon Green had used his powers of prophesying to save the life of a girl who was destined to die, something Apollo forbade him to do. From then on, he had to depend on helping the monsters lure demigods to their deaths to get food. The bars would rise at sundown, and the leucrotae would eat Andrew and Zamaya. Zamaya then asks Hal to send the monsters away, so that they could talk in private. Halcyon tells them that most demigods had been lured there because of the treasure in a locked chest. Zamaya realizes that Amaltheia wanted her to find the treasure. Andrew manages to open the lock and they find a silver bracelet. Hal then tells them that Apollo said his curse was destined to be lifted when the owner of the treasure claimed it.

Zamaya tries to activate the bracelet, thinking that it must have some special power, and meanwhile, Andrew searches the internet for ideas on how to escape. Halcyon Green then decides to try and read the future once again for them. He sees that they would survive and that Zamaya  would sacrifice herself for her friends, but one day find her family. Here, Zamaya automatically thinks of her brother, Isaac  who she believes to be dead. Hal sees fire in Andrew’s future and a betrayal. Andrew suddenly thinks to use Greek fire to escape, and the three search Hal's library for a recipe. Andrew mixes a potion for Greek fire, and Zamaya tries to summon a lightning bolt to finish it. Meanwhile, Halcyon Green gives Andrew his diary and his dagger and tells him to learn from his mistakes. Just then, the bars lift, and the leucrotae come out. Hal sacrifices himself to give Andrew and Zamaya enough time to run for it. He uses the bomb to set the mansion on fire, and while being attacked by the monsters, Andrew figures out how to activate the bracelet, by using a code word, Aegis. After escaping the mansion and hiding out in an ally, the two ran into Melody Potvin, a plucky, golden eyed seven-year-old demigod. Andrew  admired her courage and gave her his dagger, promising that he wouldn't fail her as her family had. The three of them stayed in different safe houses for protection and shelter until their nearest one was destroyed and Zamaya’s leg was injured. Andrew was forced to return to his home for supplies. The three of them met Kevin James son of Hermes and Andrew’s father, who had gone insane after trying to become the new Oracle of Delphi, and Thetis, Andrew’s mother. As Kevin bandaged Zamaya’s injured leg, Andrew and Thetis got into an argument, causing Andrew  to storm out of the house with Melody and Zamaya following not too far behind.

### Meeting Clover and Encounter with a Cyclops

Soon, they were found by a satyr named Clover Rosa who tried to get them to Camp Olympia Together, the quartet traveled as they were being chased by monsters from the Underworld, traveling by foot. Upon discovering Zamaya’s  Hades (still bitter over Maria's death in Zeus' attempt to kill Hades' children and wife Maria Gonzales and shocked at his younger brother's hypocrisy at breaking the oath they made not to sire any more demigod children), sent the most dangerous monsters from the Underworld (including the three Furies). They also took some wrong turns along the way Cyclops in Olympia, Washington stopped them so that monsters could catch up. The Cyclops held Zamaya, Andrew, and Clover in the air over a pot to direct the monsters in their direction, after tricking them by using the voices of other people but Melody saved them by stabbing the Cyclops in the foot.

### Meeting the Hunters and Sacrificing herself

Beforehand, they had met the Hunters of Artemis, and Astra Stardust almost convinced Zamaya to join the Hunt, but Zamaya refused to leave Andrew. She and Astra argued and Astra told her that Andrew would disappoint her just as Hercules had disappointed Astra. Once they reached camp, a horde of monsters attacked (all three Furies and an army of hell hounds), and Zamaya sacrificed her life on Olympia Hill to protect Melody, Andrew and Clover so they could reach the camp safely. Jupiter took pity on his daughter and to prevent her soul from going to Hades, he turned Zamaya into a pine tree.

### Years go by and coming back to life

t own as Zamaya was a tree, and in The Ocean of Beasts, her tree was poisoned and the magical borders around camp are failing. After a quest with Melody, Caspian, and Larissa, they managed to save the tree Zamaya is resurrected after the Golden Fleece purges the poison from her tree with the side effect that it also heals and purges Thalia herself. She appears on the hill the next morning, which is good and bad because it meant that Zamaya could also be the one of the prophecy and Kronos would take advantage of that. Melody, Clover, Isaac, and Zoe are stunned at Zamaya's return. During the first series, Zamaya plays her own role, jut joins the hunters in the third story. She battle Andrew one on one in the same story. Once the war ended, Zamaya continued to hunt with hunters, meeting Loretta in the processes, but things would take a turn just after the second war

### Second Death

Near the end of the second war, Zamaya was injured pretty bad and had lost her immortality. While she wasn't killed and later healed, Artemis advised that she *maybe* shouldn't come back to the Hunters for a while and Zamaya agreed since, she was missing her brother. During that time, Zamaya had gotten sick with Heat Stroke, however it went unknown to many of the campers, except for Isaac and Melody, who something was wrong, but when they confronted Z, she denied it. One evening, in July, during a power outtage, it had gotten so hot at her body couldn't cool down in time. She was laying on her bed, feeling the grasp of life leaving her. She recounted her childhood, and soon said her final words, "Isaac, I'm sorry...I'm so sorry...paciencia y fe" and closed her eyes, ready to head to be judged by King Rhadamanthus. Amber later found Zamaya, after discovering she was not at the Zeus table. Amber later told Isaac, and there was later a Burial Shroud made for her

## Personality

Zamaya was an exceptionally brave, strong, and caring girl, though at times she could be profoundly stubborn, prideful, and assertive, much like her father Jupiter. She liked to be in charge and give out orders to people and became very angry if they disobeyed (normally by her brother). She also has a bit of a temper, as shown during the Capture the Flag match against the Hunters when Caspian left his post, causing them to lose the game, so she shocked him with electricity, causing a fight. In some ways she was very similar to Diana (the goddess), as she enjoyed being around her fellow Hunters and was a great fighter. She was also very loyal to those she trusts and respects, as she was willing to risk her life to protect them (for example, when she sacrificed herself on top of Olympia Hill). Unlike her fellow Hunters, Zamaya apparently did not mind being around boys, as shown in many adventures. Even though she was sworn off romance forever she loves her brother Isaac dearly as shown by her joy upon finally reuniting with him in when she was brought back to life and Isaac's heart break by her death. When she is around Naomi or Caspian, Zamaya maintained a friendship with them with Caspian himself calling her a good friend. Zamaya also possessed a number of similarities with her father, Jupiter. Aside from being a proficient warrior and extremely powerful, Zamaya was also a great leader when she needed to be and was completely relentless against an opponent. However, Zamaya had the unfortunate weakness of being supremely prideful, shown by her demanding that Caspian not revealing her being afraid of heights. That said, Zamaya was still *extremely* brave and stunningly loyal, shown by her fighting off the most frightening monsters from the Underworld, namely the Furies and a horde of Hell hounds, at Olympia Hill to allow her friends to escape. Her bravery obviously impressed her father, Jupiter, for he decided to transform her into a pine tree so that she could survive, but this may have been influenced more by the fact that she was his daughter and both Zeus and Jupiter has a bad habit of playing favorites. Zamaya was extremely emotional at times, and that meant that her heart could overpower her head. This could be associated with her explosive temper, but also when she became destructively angry when Caspian discovered she was afraid of heights. Zamaya was also crying rivers whilst fighting Andrew in The Third Story, as she could not bring herself to believe that he had betrayed her. Zoe once said that Naomi and Zamaya were very much alike. The only difference is that Zamaya was more sure of herself, while Naomi has less self-confidence. Over all, Zamaya was a storm of a person

### Fatal flaw

Zamaya's fatal flaw was that she had a weak resistance when she is offered power (mirroring Jupiter's power struggle with his brothers, as she was also conflicted with Caspian over capture the flag, and when offered by Anderw to kill the Ophiotaurus). She was also afraid of heights (acrophobia), a quality Caspian finds strange and funny, as her father is the Lord of the Sky. However, Zamaya demanded that Caspian didn't tell anyone else. In a short story, she also shows to be very determined. Zamaya had trouble abandoning a difficult task that she had started but was not able to complete. She also felt massive amounts of guilt about her brother Isaac going missing when he was little, as she more or less raised him on her own (her mother was an alcoholic, and therefore, unstable). she had believed for years that her mother had either killed or abandoned him on a family vacation. She never told anyone about this when she ran away, not even Andrew or Melody.

## Appearance

Zamaya was a twenty-two-year-old girl of Cuban descent with shoulder-length, spiky blonde hair, electric blue eyes, tanned skin, and freckles across her nose. She was described as being "extremely pretty" by fellow campers and is "beautiful", according to Artemis. She typically wore a magical silver bracelet that turns into a modified version of Zeus' shield, Aegis, as well as another bracelet that changed into a spear. She liked to wear a leather jacket, black shirt, and jeans or punk clothing.

## Powers and Abilites

### Jupiter Kid Powers

* As her father is King of the Gods, and one of the big three Olympians (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades), and the physically and magically strongest of all the Olympians, the 'standard demigod traits' for her were greatly enhanced compared to the children of any other Olympian god. These traits are Superhuman speed, strength, reflexes, healing speed, agility, dexterity, endurance, durability, stamina, and pain resistance.
* She had the power of Aerokinesis or wind control. As her father is the King of the Gods, she far surpassed other users of Aerokinesis, to the point where only her half-siblings could battle her in combat.
* As an extension of her Aerokinesis, she had the power of Audiokinesis, as Zeus is the god of the airwaves, and sound is just the vibration of wind. This could be used to strengthen her voice so she could be heard at long distances, silence those she did not wish to speak, cause damage to the ears of her enemies, and manipulate radio waves.
* As an extension of her Aerokinesis, she could fly, uses wind to propel her at great speeds and with incredible agility.
* She had the power of Electrokinesis or electricity control. With this, she could summon lightning from the sky, generate lightning from her body, paralyze her enemies, enhance her armor and weapons with lightning, create the sound of a thunderclap. She could even manipulate electromagnetism and electromagnetic fields and even the biological electricity within someone's body, giving her a very, limited but highly dangerous version of Biokinesis
* She was immune to the damaging effects of thunder, wind, weather, and anything else.
* She had the power of Atmokinesis or weather control. With this, she could summon freezing hurricanes, clouds of rain, mighty tornadoes, and scorching sand storms. As Zeus is King of the Gods, the Atmokinesis of his children tends to overrule other Atmokinetic users, with certain exceptions, such as Demeter (and her children), who has the feat of 'creating an eternal winter that even Zeus could not end' in the legends or the children of Ouranos who are naturally much mightier as children of a Primordial God.
* She had Nephelokinesis, or the ability to create, shape, and otherwise control clouds of any kind. It can be used to cause rain, thunder, snow or hail, to blow the sight of one's opponent's and even to crate sentient cloud elementals, as shown By Zeus when he created a copy of Hera made from clouds.
* She had Ornithokinesis, otherwise known as Avian manipulation, the power to summon, speak to, and control avian creatures.
* She had a power known as Kingly Aura or in her case Queenly Aura, as her father is the God of Kingship. This aura would mentally influence those in her presence to regard her as a superior or authority, at lower levels causing people to treat her like their boss at work, and at higher levels acting as a powerful form of mind control that can force nearly anyone to do her bidding.
* She could sense the current weather, as well as predict what will happen with the weather, such as foretelling when a lightning bolt will strike and knowing when it will start to rain.
* She had powers that represent what her dad is the god of such as being able to sense how honorable a person is since her father is God of Honor, or being able to sense what the local laws are as her father is the God of Law.
* She had a power called Thunder Teleportation, allowing her to teleport anywhere under the sky, so long as she is under it. ability is limited by its need for an open sky to work, rendering it useless underground.

### Hunter of Artemis Powers

* She was extremely proficient at archery, even more so than the Apollo kids.
* She was semi-immortal, which means that she did not age or get sick, but she can/did die in battle, or if she were to break her vow.
* She had a telepathic connection with wolves and falcons.
* She could summon her bow and arrows, and her hunting knives, whenever she needed them, but it is tiresome.
* She had excellent night vision, so much so, that she could see as well at nighttime as she could in the daytime.

### General Abilities

* ADHD: Like most demigods, she possesses inborn supernatural battle reflexes and senses that he uses to analyze the fighting style of her opponent.
* Fighting Skills: Zamaya's fighting skills were amazing as she bested Miles, a son of Mars, in hand-to-hand combat.
* Superhuman strength: Being a daughter of Jupiter, Zamaya was far stronger than the average mortal and most demigods
* Superhuman agility: Being a demigod, Zamaya was a lot more agile than a regular mortal
* Superhuman durability: Zamaya was shown to be far more durable than a mortal and most demigods
* Superhuman reflexes: Zamaya had incredible reflexes, which was proven throughout her life
* Intimidation: Zamaya was said to be very scary in battle, something enhanced by the general aura she gave. When angered, her glare looked like she would "shoot a million volts."
* Archery: Zamaya was a skilled archery, being a former hunter of Artemis
* Dagger usage: Zamaya was good using a dagger
* Spanish: Since Zamaya was of Cuba decent, she was able to speak fluent Spanish, and taught her brother as well

## Relationships

### Love Intrest

#### Andrew James

It was hinted that before the daughter of Jupiter became a Hunter, she and Andrew had a romantic past when she told Astra that she wouldn't leave Luke behind, and when she kissed him on the cheek. That was changed when Andrew betrayed Camp Olympia for the titans. It further dissolved after the son of Hermes poisoned her tree. Zamaya was noted by Caspian that she was crying when she fought with Andrew, and she stated that she hadn't known peace since she'd traveled with Melody and Andrew. One of the reasons Andrew betrayed Camp Olympia is because he thought it was what Zamaya would have wanted, but this is never verified. Also, Andrew apparently never got over the fact that Zamaya got turned into a tree and her father, Jupiter, didn't "save" her. However, it was not known what Zamaya thought of him after he sacrificed himself to stop Kronos. Despite their differences, it's shown that she kept a picture of herself, Andrew and Melody in Zeus's Cabin, never bothering to remove it despite Andrew's betrayal.

### Friends

#### Loretta and Melody Potvin

Loretta and Zamaya were very close when they met through the Hunters. Zamaya understood Loretta's need to protect her younger sisters, and the two girls themselves had a very sisterly relationship. While Zamaya was saddened by Loretta's Death, she was happy reunite with her in Elysuim. Zamaya met Melody while on the run with Andrew and became an older sister like figure to her, almost substituting for Loretta. The two stayed close friends after Zamaya joined the Hunters and they missed each other very much. Melody was deeply when she died

#### Clover Rosa

Zamaya gets along with Clover reasonably well. Clover was the first Keeper that was supposed to deliver Zamaya and the other two demigods (Melody and Andrew) to Camp Olympia but failed to do so. As a result, Zamaya had been forced to confront a massive amount of monsters that were sent by Hades to hunt them down. Though extremely powerful, Zamaya was overwhelmed by their numbers and very nearly perished. However, her father Jupiter took pity on her and turned her into a pine tree. The tree, later known as "Zamaya's tree," served as a magical barrier to Camp Olympia. Once Zamaya was alive again, Clover and Zamaya's friendship remained strong. She sometimes called him "Goat Girl." Clover went on the quest with Zamaya to rescue Melody. Clover gives her a bear hug during the Winter Solstice. Clover, due to being part of the Cloven Counsel and away from camp is unaware that Zamaya has now died again

### Family

#### Jupiter (Father)

Zamaya and her father, Jupiter, did not have an intimate relationship, so it is currently unknown. When Isaac was mourning Zamaya after her Burial Shroud, Zeus came down to camp, with out anyone knowing and the father and son talked for a bit and during the talk, Zeus revealed that he was very proud of Zamaya

#### Brittany (Mother)

When talking with Loretta on a random adventure with the hunters, she revealed that she never had a good relationship with her mother, and they constantly argued, given that Brittany was always drunk, crazy and acted like a spoiled child. In fact, Zamaya only stayed with Brittany as she did not trust her to look after Isaac right. She also eventually revealed that Zamaya retained complex feelings towards her mother. Upon her ressurection, she learned that she had died and despite their strained relationship, did feel some level of grief for it.

#### Isaac (Younger brother)

Zamaya's brother, Isaac Reynoso, was born to Zeus. Isaac is a Greek demigod because when Zeus visited their mother for the second time, he was in his Greek form. Zamaya acknowledged that Isaac cared for her, and felt guilty not letting him care for him.
