## History

### Early Life

Aurelia Yamamoto was born to Bennett Yamamoto, a clear sighted mortal and Ame-no-Uzume, the Japanese goddess of The dawn, mirth, meditation, revelry, and the arts in the Shinto religion of Japan on June 21, 2004, in Charleston, South Carolina. It was a typical day when Bennett Yamamoto found the love of his life. He was a mortal, weak against the dangers of the world, with only the power to see through the Mist. On a lonely evening, he went to a restaurant, where a mysterious woman took a seat next to him. Since he was drunk, it didn't bother him. They talked all night, and eventually fell in love. Later on, they went to his apartment and... You know what I mean. The next morning, she was gone and she left a note saying; *'Dear Ben, I must leave you for my duties. Its complicated, but I'm Ame-no-Uzume. The gods of The Japanese Pantheon exist and we are going to have a daughter. Take care of her for my sake. I'm not leaving you because I don't love you anymore. You will always have a place in my heart, for the centuries to come. Love always-Ame-no-Uzume'* 9 months later, Aurelia Dita Yamamoto came into the world

### Childhood

Ben kept her and took care of her. Aurelia was popular at school. She was smart, pretty and nice and always seemed joyful and full of energy. Her best friend was a boy named Chase. Her father raised her telling the Japanese Myths and her favorite one was the story of "Amaterasu and the cave". Whenever she changed schools due to her ADHD, he suddenly transfers to the same school. She was having a great life, until she turned 13.

### Attacked and Coming to Camp

She was walking home with Chase when she heard a noise. They went to investigate and Bam! You're attacked by a hell hound. Chase suddenly took his shoes off and kicked it with his... Hooves? Then took a sword out of his backpack and stabbed it. Anyway, the hell hound ran off, which left Aurelia's eyes wide. Chase then took her home without explaining until they reached her dad. Bennett then told her everything. From her mom to Camp Olympia. She took it with ease, which was hard since her BFF was a satyr. She stayed with her dad and Chase for another year, protected by a goat, and when she turned 14 she was ready to go to Camp Olympia. The journey was long, since they lived in South Carolina. Her dad dropped them off at the Chrysler Tower, since it was as far as he could go. They walked until Olympia Hill and Aurelia kissed Chase on the cheek for all his help. And she entered Camp, getting claimed by none other than Ame-no-Uzume. Since there was no cabin for her, she stayed in the Hermes Cabin until The Cabin Mythos was built, making her the *very* first person to live in cabin mythology. As time would go own, she become friends with many other different pantheon demigods.
