## History

### Early Life

Nina Álvarez was born to Kukulkan, Serpent of the 9 Winds, and Maria Álvarez, a clear-sighted mortal in Mexico City, Mexico on July 1, 2004. Maria Álvarez lived on the poorer side of town. She worked two jobs trying to pay her bill and was always stressed out. One weekend, she went to the bar to de-stress and drown herself in drinks. While at the bar, she met a handsome man who called himself Carlos. The two began to flirt with each other and that same night, the ended up in bed with each other. The next morning, Maria was alone in bed, and was heartbroken. It didn't help that much later, she found out she was pregnant. During her pregnancy, Maria was depressed, but she wanted to keep going for her baby. Nine months later, Maria gave birth to her daughter Nina Lucia.

### Childhood

Nina grew up on the poorer side of town with her mother. The town she grew up in was a bit unsafe, but for the most part, she tried to keep safe. Ever since she was born, her mother was...crazy. She was drunk to put it bluntly. But soon, Maria began to try and contact Nina's father. On Nina's third birthday, her father appeared to "wish her a happy birthday". While Nina played, her parents talked, where Carlos reveled he was the Serpent Kukulkan. This caused Maria to become angry and kick Kukulkan out of the house. Maria began to tell Nina that her father was a horrible person and that he would *never* be mentioned in the house again. For the next year, Life would continue was normal. Until she was five

### The Day her life changed

Nina was just five years old when she became disabled. She was playing on the side walk with one of her friends when...

***BANG!***

A gunshot when off...Nina felt a pain in her in her legs and she fell to the floor, crying in pain for her mother. The mother of her friend picked up Nina as she began to pass out. She heard her mother screaming, telling someone to call 911. The next moments were a blur for her. She remembered hearing sirens, many people telling her keep her eyes open. She then passed out a few minutes later. The next moment, she woke up in a hospital bed. She could feel the pain in her legs anymore, in fact, she could feel her legs at all! When her mother saw her awake, she was met with hugs and crying. The doctor explained to Nina's mother that Nina would be paralyzed from the knees down for the rest of her life, explaining she would need a wheelchair. Nina left the hospital a few days later, understanding she would never be able to use her legs again.

### The Rest of Her Life

After that day, Nina's mother became increasingly abusive. Her mother would drink to drown her sorrows and to de-stress, but this would later become an addiction. When Nina was in the second grade, she was diagnosed with ADHD, as she was always distracted in class. Whenever Nina came home with bad grades, she was met with beatings from her mother. Many of these beatings would often lead her to getting scratches from her mother's broken glass bottles. Nina began to fear her mother, and was also treated harshly by the other kids in her school for being disabled. For years, this was how Nina's life would go. She would endure horrible abuse at the hands of the person who was supposed to love her and help her through life and was bullied by other students at school and none of the teachers would do anything about it. Things would soon change when she was fourteen years old

### Coming to Camp

Nina was fourteen when she came to camp. At this age, she began to realize she had some sorta connection to the wind, being able to "move" it so to speak. One day, a few weeks after her fourteenth birthday, she got the idea to runaway. She packed a bag and in the guise of saying she was going to a friends house, she began her journey. She was driving up the side walk when she came in contact with a girl, around sixteen wearing an all silver/gray outfit and a boy wearing a beanie and having crutches. The boy whispered to the girl, and she made out the word "demigod". The boy, who was named River asked Nina where she was going. Nina only responded with "Where ever the wind takes me". The girl, who was named Venus explained to Nina about the mythological world and explained how she might be a demigod. Both River and Venus offered to take her to Camp Olympia, which Nina accepted.

The three began their first journey to the local airport, where they helped Nina into her seat. While on the plane, Venus explained how she was a huntress of Artemis and a daughter of the goddess Philophrosyne, spirit of friendliness, kindness, and welcome. River also reveled that he was a satyr on the search for demigods, while Venus offered to go with him as they were best friends. Nina enjoyed their company and became friends with them. Once they got to California, they called a cab to take them to Camp Olympia. While on the way, Nina explained her story, and why she ran away to her new friends. Once they made it to Camp Olympia, Nina was claimed by her father Kukulkan.

## Personality

Nina is shown to be very passive, only resorting to combat if necessary. She also has a very relaxed and mellow nature, she has a kind and sweet temperament and a gentle soul. She lost control of her legs but it doesn't seem to bother her. Though she was often bullied because of her disability, she always lets it roll down her back and doesn't really care about the mean comment about her. Unless it involves her friends, then it's a different story altogether. She has hemophobia and PTSD, like most of her fellow demigods, so she is wise and understanding. She has a biker-like attitude when it comes to fighting. Nina is often presented to be the most chill and mellow of the Family Demigod while also being supportive of them and having their back. Despite being deadpan and stoic most of the time, she tends to act as excitable as the rest of her friends. Nina is interested in anything that's macabre. She is seen reading a vampire romance novel during her introduction scene and also asks Kaili if she's a werewolf after seeing her fox form. She often makes vampire-like poses like crossing her arms when she's lying down and she also said that she always wanted a tail. Nina’s gothic interests are further displayed at Addison’s and he r claiming day when she acts out mortality for a charades game and when she utters the phrase "Thank Cthulhu," while others say “Thank the gods” or “Thank \*Insert godly parent\*”. She is fun and laid back, charismatic, nice, and friendly. She can be friends with just about anyone. Unbeknownst to anyone else though, Nina is quite depressed because of the childhood her mother gave, and hasn't been herself since the day she came to camp, the realization of everything her mother did to her, finally set in. It's hard for her to really commit to things, or take charge. If only she would overcome her inner struggles, she could be truly powerful. It's been days since she's arrived at camp, and she's not the same person. Sure she has a fun, bright, and positive personality. She also isn't the fool or the naive one before. She's gotten over everything her mom did, and it has helped her become wise. She's secure in her sense of self, and won't let people bring her down. If anything, her stubbornness has grown.

### Fatal flaw
