## History

### Early Life

Yalissa Liang was born to Zhinü, goddess of weaving and Yun Liang, a clear sighted mortal in Guangzhou, China on April 19, 2004. Yun Liang was a very talented weaver. His shop was well known in his home town in China, but one day he saw a very strange and beautiful woman come into his shop. This woman was none other than Zhinü. Over the years, she had been getting lonely since she was separated from her husband and children. One day, she decided to sneak down to the earth once again. She went to a city in China. She soon found a very quaint little weaving shop, where she met a handsome man. Yun went up the woman, who introduced herself as Zhen and asked if she needed any help. Zhen complemented Yun on his talent and expressed that she was also a weaver and the two spent the time talking about techniques and yarn all that stuff. They slowly began to fall in love with each other, and after a few dates, they ended up in bed with each other. The next morning, Yun found himself in bed alone. Zhen was no where to be found. Around 9 months later, Zhen came back with a baby girl in her arms. Zhen then explained that she was really Zhinü and that this baby was their daughter. Zhinü then handed Yun their daughter and left. Yun promised that he would keep their daughter safe

### Childhood

Yalissa grew up a happy and bubbly childhood. Yun taught his daughter the joys of weaving and made sure she was very careful with a needle and had the same amount of creativity he had. Yalissa grew up admiring the arts and using yarn. When she was enrolled in school, she was diagnosed with ADHD, but some of her teachers admired her creative way of thinking. Yalissa often helped around her father's shop on weekends or after school. When she was around ten years old, her father gave her her own "special" weaving needles, held together by a yellow string. Yun told his daughter to keep them with her all the time, which Yalissa would do. When she was around twelve years old, she became friends with a boy named Fenhua, who had some kind of muscular disorder in his legs and walked with crutches. For the most part her childhood was fairly good, but then, things started to change.

### Monster Attack

When Yalissa was twelve years old, she and Fenhua were walking home from school to her father's shop, when the two of them were attacked a very large snake. Yalisaa screamed, but Fenhua acted fast, using his crutches to attack it. Then, Fenhua yelled for Yalissa to take out her weaving needles and throw it at the monster. Yalissa shakily took out her weaving needles and threw. She watches as on of the needles stabbed the snake while the other wrapped around the snake's body and strangled it to death. Once the monster was killed her weaving needles returned to her hands, and Fenhua told her that they needed to go to her father ASAP. Yalissa was confused and scared, so she listened to her friend. The duo made it to her father's shop and Fenhua explained to Yun what had happened. Yun then turned to his daughter and explained that she was really a demigod and Fenhua suggested taking Yalissa to Camp, but Yun, who still wanted to keep his daughter close to him, said that she should go when she was a bit early. Fortunetly, that time would come in shortly

### Coming to Camp

Since her first monster attack, Yalissa spent her time researching different mythologies and their monsters, so she would bee ready for another attack. In that time, she realized that her weaving needles could come to life and begin sewing and crafting at her command, which was pretty cool. When Yalissa was thirteen, she faced another monster attack in the form of a Greek hell hound. Yalissa used her weaving needles to kill the monster. When she told her father of the attack, he knew that he had to send his daughter to Camp Olympia. He called Fenhua and gave Yalissa some money and a packed back and instructed her to go to Camp Olympia in California. Fenhua and Yalissa took a bus to the airport and got a plane to California. Once landing in California, they took *another* cab to big bear, where Fenhun reveled he was a satyr. The two were able to make it to Big Bear with out much trouble. Once she crossed the border, she was claimed by her mother, Zhinü

## Personality

Yalissa is incredibly complicated, to say the least, but can be predictable when you get to know her and has some consistent traits through her different sides and personalities. Her four-word sum up is Kind, Weird, Insecure, Unpredictable. She's mostly bubbly, fun-loving, playful, sweet, kind, gentle, compassionate and incredibly likable. She is very loyal to her friends and family, will keep her promises, and is easily content. She is creative, curious, sisterly, and a daydreamer. She likes having fun, is a giant social butterfly, despises homework, but will do it anyway, and is caring to a fault. She would like to think of herself, but will only sacrifice herself for her closest peeps. She is insecure about a few things, like her friends (reasons later explained), her liking of good attention, and her currently lackluster love life. She's weird, as in loves using 'deus ex machina', dances instead of walking while humming and snap her fingers to the beat of the song she's singing/humming, likes using a tissue to dry her mouth as a hobby, bends popsicle sticks and straws, and is skilled in the art of coming up with random catchy songs that get stuck in your head easily. She's moody, quiet, shy, and has a deep hatred and fear of being in front of crowds. She has a strange thing about friends, (which is continuous), where she technically has friends, but no best friend, as all her 'friends' have minimum two best/better friends than her. She's more insecure about this and is very sensitive emotionally. She is working on her temper/ability to cry and anxiety issues. She feels as if she has to cry just to get some attention and is all alone in this world, even if people tell her it's not true. She frequently stumbles over her words and apologizes out of habit a lot. She's sassy, sarcastic, and super serious. She can be sweet and brash. She's still passive-aggressive, using an Umbridge-like voice or sending you a death glare. She's very competitive and will do many things to try and win. She's practical, face-palms at jokes, has no sense of humor, raises her eyebrow, but can still feel. She's insecure about her sass, often regrets things minutes after she does them, and says things without thinking.She's very smart and gets very good grades. She will guess what you are trying to say and pre-empt a lot. She is very forgetful and scatterbrained. She's a total fangirl as well and a big fan of shipping, IRL and in her books. Speaking of that, she's a big bookworm and likes adventure romance novels. She is quite lazy and is the self-proclaimed master of procrastination. Basically that weird friend you have who isn't your best friend but still someone you cherish. She is also known to be very talented and an artist at heart. Yalissa is a hopeless romantic. She is always dreaming about finding love, which is why she hates her story so much. She gets a crush a minute but is now sure she's found her Mx. Right! Yalissa can be insecure at times, wondering why no one before has liked her enough to love her. She just needs time to understand that she is so freaking awesome. Yalissa is an ambivert, sometimes outgoing, but other times shy and reserved. She doesn't have a huge friend group, but those friends that she does have are like family to her. Yalissa is loyal to the core, and she will stick up for her friends if they're in trouble. When you do get to know Yalissa, you'll find she has a wicked sense of humor and a daredevil streak. She's the kind of person that will always surprise you! She's a very determined person and can be quite stubborn. She keeps an open mind but also forms strong opinions. Yalissa loves memes and is a regular presence on Tik Tok. Often, she'll get together with her friends to make a Tik Tok and then dissolve into giggles afterwards.
