## History

### Early Life

Joanna Laurens was born to Tohil, god of war, the sun, fire, thunder and rain and Greg Laurens, a mortal man in Rock Hill, South Carolina on December 7, 2004. Greg, Joanna's father went to a Weapon Convention. Tohil went to it also. Greg, who wasn't paying attention to where he was going bumped into Tohil. Tohil looked at him and thought he was handsome. Greg stated that he was sorry and would pay attention next time. Tohil held Greg's hand and kissed him on the cheek. Greg was shocked. "Who are you" she asked. "I'm Tohil, a Mayan god. You are?" Tohil said. "I'm Greg Laurens, I never knew the Mayan Gods were real!" He said, surprised. The two began to like each other after getting to know on another and they began to date. After a few weeks of dating, Tohil disappeared. Greg was heart broken and spent most of his time in his house being sad. One day, on December 7, 2004. Tohil came back, but this time, holding a bundle of blankets?

"I don't understand?" Greg asked confused

Tohil chuckled lightly "Greg, this our daughter"

"But how? I-I mean...We're both-How?" Greg stammered, very confused

Tohil then explained that their daughter was created out of their love for each other, and because Tohil is a god, she would have to taken care or by her mortal father AKA Greg. Greg took the baby from his lover, promising to take care of her. Both men came up with the name Joanna Enola for their daughter. Tohil left soon after. But Gred was seemingly worried for his child. She was a demigod, Tohil told him monsters may come and attack her. How would Joanna defend her self? Greg would find himself worried everyday for his new daughter. Not knowing when a monster could attack.

### Childhood

Joanna grew up with a loving father, though, there was no other parent present. She loved her father and they were very close together. By the time Joanna was 7, she was making Bs or higher. Soon at age, 9 she was told that she was a daughter of Tohil, making her a Demigod. She didn't take the information lightly, but she did end up getting past the fact what she was. As Joanna rew up. She wasn't very popular with her aggressive attitude. She never really made freinds, it was rare. She got some hobbies which are reading and researching wars, and fencing. She was in higher up classes for Reading a lot. She was kicked out of schools. How, mostly punching someone. Then she was in the homeroom of a teacher, Mr. Keate, who is a satyr, secretly. He began to watch over her, sensing she was demigod.

### Her Journey to Camp

By the time Joanna was thirteen, Mr. Keate felt that Joanna was at the age she should be able to go to camp. He managed to keep most monsters away from her, but he knew Joanna couldn't stay in the mortal world forever. One day, he asked Joanna's father if he could stop by their house, so he could explain Camp Olympia to Joanna. Joanna was very surprised to see her homeroom teacher at her house, talking to her father that night. Both adults explained to Joanna all about Camp Olympia, and explained how to get there. Joanna, filled with determination, said she was ready for anything. Greg embraced his daughter in a tight and protective hug, saying that no matter where she goes, he will always be by her side. Mr. Keate offered to go, but Joanna said she had to do by herself. Mr. Keate gave Joanna a map and sent her on her way.

She faced a Hell hound on the way. Taking her bracelet which was given to her by the Satyr. Pressing onto the spear charm, a spear appeared in her hand with a handle and took the handle part off. She put both hands on the sword, and slashed at the muzzle. It growled jumping at Joanna. She ducked slicing at its stomach and sliding out of the way. The Hell hound turned back and looked at her. Joanna held her spear waiting for a swift opening. It jumped clawing her arm. She hacked into its side, fighting through the pain. She then looked for a possible opening for a escape as it was hurt. She saw its neck, she ran towards it. She stabbed the spear into its chest. It squealed in pain landing to the floor. It didn't look dead, she put her spears handle on. She continued to Camp Olympia safely. Once she got to camp, she was placed in the Hermes cabin, before being claimed by Tohil.

## Personality

Joanna is, possibly, one of the funniest war demigods around. She tends to have a very lighthearted manner in serious situations, but still manages to get people to take her seriously, and is able to command respect with a deadpan look. Joanna tends to come off as rather carefree, which hides her profound concern in keeping everyone safe and sound. She's very sure that others will listen to her easier if she shows a rather sunny personality, and it's a method that never fails among the Choir Members. While funny and humorous, Joanna can also be very stern, firm and rigorous while doing her job, and won't hesitate in commanding respect. Often described as the "Grandma Friend" of the group, Joanna sometimes acts much older than she actually is. She takes a very motherly figure to the Choir Members, and will not feel at peace while her loved ones aren't at peace themselves. She always makes sure everyone is alright and puts everyone's necessities above her own, which makes her fairly selfless and altruistic. The young demigod also likes to guarantee that her friends are always happy, and is a source of endless bad puns and jokes and that friend you can always talk to when you have a problem. She always does her best to everyone, often forgetting herself in the process. She notably possesses a sassy wit, and shows to be lively and full of spirit. Joanna always has a comeback ready to be told, and never stops her sarcastic comments - which gets her in trouble, most times. Even if she has tried sounding less ironic, it seems that it's within her blood to always have sharp comebacks to any situation. Her humorous nature never fails to make some people annoyed, though, and this is sometimes a pro, sometimes a con. Remarkably defiant, Joanais a rebellious and stubborn girl who always wants to prove herself. Despite being a strategist and thinking a lot, for the well-being of everyone, she has a tendency to act recklessly when attempting to do something, thus why, in battles, the Family tries to make her focus on her own plans and tries to be her impulse control. The demigod is a very determined person, who never backs down from a challenge and never gives up. Joanna has the posture of a warrior, who's always ready for everything, and never fears what might come within a war. She will, no matter what, always give her best.
