## History

### Early Life

Noah Gruber was born to Áine, goddess of faeries/fey, summer, the sun, wealth, love, fertility and sovereignty and Amelia Gruber in Uranium City, Saskatchewan, Canada on February 12, 2004. Amelia Gruber was lonely. Her only son was killed in a roller coaster accident, two years ago (2002) and she was still a bit bitter over he ex-husband leaving her. She was in a deep depression, but one day, she went to The Blackwood Cafe, where she met a beautiful woman. The woman had black hair and "elf like" ears. Amelia went over to the woman to strike up a conversation and the woman introduced herself as Annie. Amelia and Annie hit it off and they began to date. After a few months of dating, Annie disappeared one night, leaving Amelia heart broken. Nine months later, Annie returned, holding a baby in a blanket.

Amelia was confused at first, but Annie soon revealed that the baby was their son and that she was really the goddess Áine. Áine told Amelia that she really did love her, and that their child was unexpected but she promised to watch over them both. Amelia in turned, promised to watch over their son with as much love as she can. Áine gave one last kiss to her mortal lover, and disappeared in a flash of light. Amelia decided to name her son Noah Joel (pronounced Jo-el).

### Childhood

Noah grew up with a loving mother. Amelia, as much as she missed her son, Noel, knew she had to keep going for her new son. Amelia would tell Noah fairy tales growing up, which lead him becoming *obsessed* with the stories. When he started school, he was a pretty popular kid, but because he was also pretty flamboyant, so he was often bullied. At the age of seven, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia. When he was eight years old, he became friends with a boy from the Ukraine named Marko Bachinski. At first it was hard to talk with each other because of the language barrier, but Noah helped Marko speak English. When the two boys were nine, they became friends with a boy named Jamie Potts. The three of them got along together great, and would also help Marko speak English. Noah also grew up wondering what happened to his other parent. When ever he asked, Amelia would just explain he had another mother and that she died after he was born.

### A Strange Night

A few weeks after his 12th birthday, Noah's mother decided to tell Noah of his immortal parentage. Amelia presented Noah with a silver flower charm necklace, and told him it would turn into a sword whenever he needed it. Noah thought his mother was crazy and just trying to send him away, and stormed off to his room. He calmed down and convinced himself that none of what his mother had said was real and fell asleep. That night, he had a strange dream. In the dream, he was in a forest, that looked like one from his fairy tale books. He walked through the woods until he reached a clearing in the woods, where a woman was siting at a small table, almost like a tea-party...

The woman he saw had golden blonde hair, sky blue eyes, and light skin. Along with pointed ears and what looked to be...fairy wings? Noah step forward, when the woman looked up, a small smile on her face. "Hello, Noah" she motioned to the seat in front of her "Come, come, sit down". Noah did as he was told and the woman looked at him with a sort of motherly smile. "My have you grown" the woman said, but Noah was very confused. "I'm sorry" Noah began "who are you?". The woman smiled sadly. "I'm surprised Amelia hasn't told you yet" the woman said "My name is Áine" Noah's eyes widened a bit. That was the same name as his mother had mentioned earlier. "And...you know me how?" Noah asked. "Well, i'm your mother silly!" Áine said, as if it were obvious. "Now, I've come here to tell you that you *must* get to Big Bear, California" Áine said, deadly serious

"Why?" Noah asked, knowing that this conversation would probably go the same way his conversation with his mortal mother had gone.

"Why to get to camp, of course! Surely Amelia has told of Camp Olympia?" Áine asked

"She said something about it...earlier...But I thought she was lying" Noah said, still in disbelief

"Noah, I know this may sound so scary for you. It usually it, but you have to understand this if for your own good. Your mother and I are trying to keep you safe! As you grow older, monsters will come for you, and..." Áine took a deep breath "I want to keep you alive... Please listen to me and your mother when we says we're trying to keep you safe...do you understand?"

Noah only nodded. He could Áine was being sincere with him. Before he woke up, Áine kissed her son of the forehead, promising to watch over him. Noah woke up, but it was still night time, around 12:00 am. He went down stares where his mother was still awake. Noah and Amelia talked about his dream and Amelia told him everything about who he was. Noah accepted to go to camp, and was persistent on going right that very moment, which Amelia agreed to. Noah left the house that night, kissing his mother goodbye.

### Coming to Camp

Now, Noah didn't go straight to American, first he went to Marko's house, where he was playing video games and staying up late. Noah told Marko of his dream, thinking that Marko would think he was crazy, but Marko said that he had experienced a similar dream, but with a man on a deserted battle field. The two boys agreed to go with each other, but not before walking with Jamie. Bout boys knocked on The Potts' family door, to which Jamie answered. Both Noah and Marko explained they had to leave, and when they saw that Jamie was confused, Noah told him about Camp Olympia. Noah asked if he had a strange dream like them, and Jamie said yes, so he agreed to go with them. The Three boys journeyed across Canada, and literally cheered when they crossed the American border. They all followed a map that Noah had and began to journey towards California. The three boys had made it to Montana.

They walked around the city for a while, and they ended up at a park. While they walked, they saw three girls being attacked by a chimera. They watched as a "pretty ginger-haired girl" (as Noah would describe) tried to kill the chimera with a knife, but they jumped in to help. After they killed the chimera, Noah explained how he, Marko and Jamie, were demigods and trying to get to Camp Olympia and that if the girl were attacked then that meant they were also demigods. After a long conversation and many questions, Skye, Iris and Estella agreed to go with them to Camp Olympia. The six of them made their ways to camp on foot. They all spent their time getting to know each other and they all found out they all grew up in Uranium, well, except for Marko who lived in Ukraine until he was seven. They manged to get to camp with too many casualties and they actually had fun! Skye mentions she and the other played games and would often pretended they were superheros or pirates looking for treasure. They all finally made it to camp and were soon claimed by their respective godly parents.

## Personality

Noah is in many ways the perfect gentleman; he's an excellent listener, a genuine conversationalist, he has excellent manners and he's very passionate about his destiny. However, he's exceptionally flirtatious and can often be seen smoothly talking to anyone he's attracted to – his silver tongue has gotten him into trouble more than a couple of times. When he was younger he wasn't too thrilled about his parentage– in fact it lead to him ignoring his calling for a good few years; however after a lot of convincing by his mother and a heart to hear dream conversation with Aine, Noah was ready to camp Olympia at the age of twelve (this is where he met Jamie and Marko). Noah is very flamboyant and fashionable, a trait he got from his mother. He is normally confident when it comes to fashion and style, but he can be charming and a very good smooth-talker. He is also very street-smart, knowing what to do in most situations. But Noah is a nice person, caring about his friends. He's quick to defend someone, even if he doesn't know them. Like his immortal mother Noah has a darker and more sadistic side to him. He hardly shows it, and when he does: run for your life. Noah may seem cocky and arrogant, but really he is funny and generous. When he isn't telling jokes, he can be found volunteering to help others. He doesn't take himself too seriously, which can sometimes keep him from confronting his inner demons. Despite being extremely social, one thing Noah makes sure to do is not talk about himself too much, because he has a tendency to overshare. He is actually a private and insecure person. He avoids this by being slightly manipulative, always turning the topic of conversation away from himself, and most people don't even notice. Sometimes Noah can be impulsive, and occasionally doesn't think before saying/doing things. With his jokes and sense of humor, he sometimes finds himself making inappropriate jokes. He never means to offend, and is always apologetic, but that excuse only works for him sometimes. Noah is considered to be temperamental. This means that his attitude generally changes between the seasons and it stays that way for six months. Noah is dedicated, though, with a one track mind. If he sees a goal, no matter how ambitious, he'll put his mind to it without anyone being able to distract him. Noah is a very methodical person. He thinks before acting, and therefore is not very prone to misjudgment. However, he's also very much a dreamer. He dreams a lot, and he dreams big. In that, he can be called kind of unrealistic. To him, no matter what it takes, you have to work hard to achieve your dreams, or else they don't deserve to be called dreams. But, his propensity to dream means that he can be quite frustrated when oops! reality shows its hardness. Noah usually avoids taking sides. He doesn't feel like it would really change anything, y'know? He's usually content with doing things at a smaller scale, and really doesn't wanna change the world. However, he's a very generous person and genuinely wants to help. He doesn't want to change the world, but he wants to help the world! He definitely has a big heart. Noah is smart. And I mean, really smart. Mathematics and science are his predilection fields. An equation? He resolves it. An experiment? He does it well. Oh well... actually he's a pretty big klutz, so he tends to make things fall or accidentally break them, especially fragile items like vials, anything made of glass. And, last but not least, he seems predisposed for magic. Magical items instantly work with him, and, while he's not a "magician" per say, he kinda likes using magical things, he finds that pretty cool.

### Fatal flaw

Noah's fatal flaw is his ever lasting loyalty. He would do anything to keep the people he loves **\*cough\*** Skye **\*cough\*** safe. He would even give up his own life for it.

## Etymology

Noah is a masculine given name derived from the Biblical figure Noah (נוֹחַ) in Hebrew. It is most likely of Babylonian origin from the word "nukhu" meaning **"repose or rest"**, which is possible in view of the Sumerian/Babylonian source of the flood story.

The last named Gruber is a topographic name for **someone who lived in a depression or hollow**, from (respectively) Middle High German gruobe, German Grube 'pit, hollow' + the suffix -er denoting an inhabitant.
