## History

### Early Life

Annie Eacker was born to Keto, goddess of sea monsters and Thomas Eacker in Sacramento, California on July 13, 2004. Thomas Eacker was in his late 20's, a struggling artist in California with a part-time job at a bar to pay the bills when his artwork wasn't selling. One late night at the bar he worked at, in came the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. She was tall, with black hair and green eyes. Keto had been wandering around California, visiting Lakes and Beaches when she saw the bar and the bar tender inside and went in. She just about knocked him off his feet there. She ordered a drink and they started talking. With each passing minute, Thomas fell more and more in love with the beautiful woman. He ended up asking her out and they ended up dating for around 3 months until Annie was conceived, and Keto disappeared. When Thomas woke up the next morning, she was gone and he was left heart broken.

One day, he found a baby girl wrapped in a soft yellow blanket in a golden cradle at his doorstep. There was a small card attached to the cradle-,

Her name was Annie Amelia Eacker

### Childhood

For the next years Thomas raised Annie with as much love and kindness as he could muster. His daughter grew up a happy, bouncing child, though school was a bit challenging because of her Dyslexia and ADHD, though the former was much milder than the latter. Annie went to school and picked up on most subjects rather easily, though her favorite classes were PE and Spanish. Those two came so easy to her. One day when she was ten on summer break, she was by the family pond drawing random sketches of what she thought her mother, the mysterious woman who disappeared one night, might look like. She both loved and hated doing this because every time a sketch started looking just right, her mental image of her changed and everything was wrong. It was very confusing but he kept doing it because she hoped one of these days, a picture would stick.

As she was drawing she heard a splash by her feet. She looked passed her note book and saw three koi fish by her feet. She put down her note book and smiled at the fish "How are you all today?" She said to the fish. What she had not expected, was an answer from them. A chorus of "Very well, Thank you." came as an answer to Annie's question and she was shocked to say the least. She then had a whole conversation with the fish on how they could only talk to her and no one else. She decided to keep it to herself because her father would no doubt think she was crazy. So it became her little secret, kept between her and the fish.

### A Monster

Two months later, Thomas needed to hire a nanny for Annie so that his daughter wasn't alone between the time he got off of work and the time he got home. He had lined up about ten candidates for the position but only one showed up, her name was Zoraida. She had all the proper qualifications and experience so Thomas saw nothing wrong in hiring her for the job. And she seemed like the perfect fit for the job because Annie seemed to love her. To Annie, the lady seemed nice enough, she even baked him chocolate chip cookies. But whenever she was around her the most curious thing would happen: her little clockwork dove would start fluttering it's wings ever so slightly. The thing had never worked so it must have been something special happening when she was around. One day, while her father was in his study finishing up on his work, Annie was outside playing while Zoraida supervised. Annie was having a very fun time, running about and jumping around. Her little fish friends even joined in on the fun But then all of a sudden the fins on her little fish necklace started fluttering again, more furiously than before, and the fish swam away. All of a sudden a shadow loomed over her, prompting Annie to whip around to see what it was. Zoraida was gone, in her place was a creature much with her upper body but a snake's lower half. Her facial features were contorted and grotesque, and her teeth were replaced with serrated fangs. She flexed her clawed hands and snarled at Annie.

The young girl fell back onto the ground in shock. She was speechless, she didn't know what this creature was or what to do in this situation. The creature raised it's arm and moved to attack Annie. The young girl squeezed her eyes shut and tensed for a blow that never came. She opened her eyes to see the creature rearing back and slashing at the air between them. She felt the chain around her neck moving erratically. She saw a glint of bronze zipping through the air between her and the creature and realized it was her little fish. The clockwork creature was fending off the monster in front of her, defending her. She sat in awe for a moment before she figured that this would be a good time to scream. She opened her mouth and screamed as loud as she could for her father as she started crawling backwards away from the monster. When the snake woman saw the boy's movements she lowered herself and slithered forward. The creature wrapped around Angelica with her lower half and began to constrict, crushing the young boy. The fish was trapped against her chest, incapable of moving its fins so she was defenseless. Just then the creature screamed out in agony and Annie looked up to see a large sharp piece of metal protruding from her abdomen. The piece of metal was pulled away and the monster went limp and slithered from around Annie, gradually dissipating into a pile of ash. Annie looked at her father with surprise. She heard her father ask her if she was alright but had no time to answer as she sank into the black sea of unconsciousness.

### On The Move

When Annie awoke he was in the car with her father, along with several suitcases in the back. When she asked her father where they were going, he simply said "Road trip". Then she asked the destination all she got was a shrug. She told her father about the events, the monster, she remembered but Thomas said it must've been a dream. It made sense so Annie dismissed it. Turns out 'road trip' meant 'We're moving to a completely different state spontaneously' because the next thing Annie knew she and her father were living in a two bedroom apartment in San Francisco. Annie was a bit upset but she knew that her father wouldn't have moved them without a good reason. She trusted him. On her next birthday Annie (11) had a similar situation. She woke up in the car with remnants of a dream of another monster attack. This time it was a giant ant instead of a snake woman. This happened again in San Jose the year after that, but with a fire-breathing horse. And again in Fresno but with a bird lady. And twice again in Fresno with a giant scorpion one year and another giant ant the next. Nearing her 12th birthday him and his father were staying in a little place in Baker's Field.

She liked it because they lived less than two hours from LA and her father took him to see the sites there every weekend. One day she was sitting at home, pretty bored. Her father was out working and he had gotten home from school pretty early since the art club meeting was canceled that day. She was about to make herself some popcorn when he heard a curious singing. The house had been rather quiet before hand and he knew that he was alone, it was strange. She set the bag of popcorn down and decided to investigate. She walked through the apartment, the singing growing steadily louder as he approached her father's room. She entered and looked around, the sound originating from the closet. When she got closer she realized that the singing wasn't singing at all. It was actually a voice calling out her name in a sweet, melodic tone. She opened the closet and looked inside. The voice was coming from the back of the closet. She moved further into it, searching and came out with two objects: a bow and a box. The bow looked so familiar to Annie but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Then it hit her: this was the bow her father always used to kill those monsters in her dreams. But how could it actually exist? Those were just dreams....right? She looked at the box, it had water-like decorating the surface of it. She opened it and pulled out an envelope and a necklace. The envelope was blank at first glance but as Annie looked at it words started to appear in a beautiful, flowing script. "*For Annie*" it said. She opened the envelope and pulled out the folded paper within. The paper appeared blank at first, like the envelope, but as She looked at it the same script appeared:

*For my beloved Annie*

*I know I have not been in your life as much as I would like to be or as much as you need, but if you are reading this that means your powers are going to be growing much stronger soon and you will be in more danger. I am afraid that I cannot explain everything how I want to. There are rules set it place that restrict me from doing so. But I do want to keep you safe so I have left you these two necklaces. By now you should be familiar with the dove and I hope that it has protected you well. The second necklace will lead you to a safe place no matter where you are. Take this one now and follow it wherever it leads you. Annie, I love you. I always have and I always will. I hope you know this and believe me. And I hope I get to talk to you at some point in the future.*

*With love that will last until forever is no more*

*-Mom*

He read the letter over several times before the words actually sank in. What did she need to explain? The necklace had protected her? What was this the other necklace would lead her to a safe place? Did that mean the dreams...those attacks...were real? She mulled over this for a while but one thing kept asserting itself: *This letter was from his Mother.* She could hardly believe it. She went her entire life without a word from her and then all of a sudden she gets this letter with a bunch of nonsensical information in it and a necklace. Speaking of the necklace he looked at it. It was beautiful. An aquamarine gem with a blue rose wrapping about it. She touched it and it glowed brightly, sending a slight shock up her arms and causing her vision to cloud. Then a wealth of information flooded into her mind. She saw a place, it looked like a camp, then it zoomed out as if it were a map.

She saw Los Angeles, then California state. Then and address number. Then he felt a strange feeling swell within him, like a tugging towards the place. The visions faded and she saw the room again. She placed the second necklace around her neck compulsively, the gem coming to rest beside the familiar fish. She left the room with the letter and the box to sit in the living room and wait for her father. Sher decided to follow her mother's instructions. She would go to where the necklace lead him. Her father came home about a half an hour later, and Annie showed him the letter. Her father looked confused and told her the paper was written in Greek. Annie looked at her strangely but agreed to read the letter to him. After she was done Thomas got up without a word and went to his daughter's room. After a few minutes she came out with a small suit case and a book bag filled with things he thought Annie would want to bring with her wherever she was going and asked for the address of the place. Annie told him what it was, Camp Olympia, Olympia Hill, Big Bear, Los Angeles, and her father ushered her out of the door quickly. Apparently they were of the same mind when it came to following her mother's instructions.

### The Journey To Camp

They drove the hour from Bakers Field to Los Angeles and then to Big Bear. As they drove towards the place the necklace had shown Annie, the gem got warmer and started to pulse with a small light. The closer they got the quicker the pulses came. When they reached their destination they came to a farm the two looked around confused for a moment before the farm began to changed and fade. After a moment the illusion fell away completely to reveal a sign that would signify the start of a new chapter of his life. *Camp Olympia*. Reese took his bags and hugged his father before stepping past the sign. Her father took a step to follow but was stopped by an invisible barrier. He waved sadly to his daughter before he turned to go back to his car. Annie watched her father walk to his car and then turn back. Her father waved one last time before he entered his car and drove off. Annie waved until she saw the car disappear and then walked down to camp. Hopefully everything would be explained soon. She was soon claimed by Keto

## Personality

Annie is an interesting person. She's a spunky teenager who's also extremely sarcastic and sassy. She's known to be the most stubborn girl in the choir and is known to be impulsive in battle. Much like Gianna, Annie is aggressive and can shoot an arrow whenever she wants. Though she can be chill at times, she does soften up a little with friends and can be sweet at times. Though her smile is sweet, and her eyes are bright, do not be fooled. This young girl is as bitingly sarcastic and ostentatious as her father, always trying to make sure that everyone knows that she has a fantastic sense of which tales are more important, and has wonderful taste to boot. Underneath the scathing exterior, however, is a girl with many fears and many anxieties. She's very quiet when one isn't speaking of myths, oftentimes fading into the background. She prefers the ocean to people, and is always found carrying a notebook of some kind. Easily confused, always excited, and loving her life as it is, Annie is the epitome of a bouncy valley girl when she's not being pretentious or sarcastic. She takes her role very seriously and tries to emulate her mother as much as possible, much to her father's chagrin. A powerful quality of Annie is that she is a natural-born leader. She flourishes in the mantle of leadership and knows how to guide a person or a group. Though it is common to say that a good leader is a good follower, the same can't be said for Annie. If she is not assigned to take charge, she will anyway. She truly means well and always has the intent to help. Though Annie is known for making smart and reasonable decisions, half the time it's just her guessing and feeling what would be best for the group. While she is known to think and see many things from logical perspectives, Annie still takes her decisions as gut feelings and intuition. She follows her heart more than her head, despite what you would expect. She has a strong commanding presence, most likely of the magical sort (or peer influence and bandwagon. It could be both.) People flock to Annie whether or not she takes charge. People listen to her. This is the reason why she feels so obligated to take the mantle of leadership. Annie is not bossy or oppressive, nor does she want to bring anyone down. She just feels like the best hands to manage things and be responsible is her own. She is assured of her own ability. Annie can appear to be harsh because of that, but she is known to be quite forgiving... a bit too forgiving. She is known to get mad, upset, or gods forbid the unholy combination of both; but a genuine apology is honestly all she needs to fix the issue. Annie isn't fond of people abusing her forgiving nature, but it happens more often than you think. The only times that never lets things pass is if they're done against her friend Nico, or any choir member Once any of her friends have been involved, and harmed, Annie will find you and you are doomed. Despite her skill in intimidation, Annie does not enjoy conflict where it isn't necessary. She doesn't like being the one to start fights. You're free to start a fight with her however and whenever you please. But be warned. Challenge her and be smart about it. Over all, Annie an interesting person

### Fatal flaw

Annie's fatal flaw is her Stubbornness. When she does something, she will not back down. When she believes in something, it will take you a while for you to convince her otherwise, so it's safe to say that her stubbornness might be her down fall
