## History

### Early Life

Madeline Mendoza was born to Frey, god of peace, fertility, wealth, rain, summer, and sunshine, and Natalie Mendoza, a mortal woman on January 13, 2004 in Boston, Massachusetts. Natalie and Frey met at the Blue Hills and had a summer fling, and he destroyed her at stone skipping. Natalie had good memories of Frey and had no hard feelings when they broke up. She said her relationship with him was perfect, except that she didn't have her son yet. She found out she was pregnant with Madeline soon after, and was elated. She had no pictures of him and never revealed his identity to Madeline. When Madeline was born, she named her after a French Princess

### Childhood

When Madeline was six years old, she attended thanksgiving at the Mendoza Mansion, with his mother, his uncle Arrio Mendoza, his other uncle Randolph Mendoza, and his cousins, including Damian Mendoza. The three Mendoza siblings got into an argument and she and Damian hid in the library, while the others argued. They played with dominoes, which were actually Runes, and Damian made a model of the Parthenon with them. Damian told him she was lucky she lived with her mom, and said he was going to run away. Arrio then came and took Damian, saying he was leaving, and he told Madeline to be safe. After the thanksgiving, her mother told her to stay away from Randolph, and to never give him what he wants. Madeline never learned what they argued about, but she never saw her uncle for years. Her mom would only mention her when they were riding past her house, and she would tell her to avoid it.

Years before she came to camp, Madeline suffered from asthma and would have asthma attacks, feeling like an invisible belt was constricting around her chest. Her mom would hold her while they happened. She would take her outside, which helped her. Her mom also made her room as plain as possible, because it was hard for her to sleep indoors unless she had total darkness and no distraction. When Madeline was eight, she and her mother went on a vacation to Mount Washington in New Hampshire where they hiked to the top and had a park ranger take their picture. In the second grade, she had a teacher who taped her left hand to his desk in order to force her to write with her right hand, this caused her mother to yell at her teacher.

When Madeline was ten, her mother had started dating a hunter who taught Madeline how to skin animals. Madeline had cut her left palm in a failed attempt at using a hunting knife, which left a deep scar. Her mother got extremely angry at the hunter for causing this incident, and broke up with her soon after. That same year, Madeline and her mom went hiking in the blue hills. They stopped at Houghton's pond to skip stones across the River, and her mom beat him with four stone skips when Madeline only got three. She told Madeline a bit about her dad, saying she met him there, on a summer day just like that. Madeline asked her what happened to him, and Natalie said that's why she brought him there, and said he was all around them. Madeline was confused, and she ruffled her hair and raced her to the beach. At age twelve, Madeline, who had been questioning her sexuality, had her first kiss with a girl named Jackie, which happened behind the bleachers at a school dance. Years later, she thought it was sad that it was her only kiss, and that it reminded her of getting mouth to mouth from a goat.

Madeline's mom taught her survival skills, how to navigate, camp, and make a fire, and every weekend, she would take her Subaru and drive to parks, mountains, and lakes. A few months before she died, she was in a hurry. Madeline didn't want to go out that weekend, but she insisted and said they needed to make the most of their time together, as if she was preparing for her death. Madeline went to a public high school in Allston for a few months before he dropped out due to his mom's death. On his first day, he was overwhelmed by the hallways at school and thought they were chaos, and that the cafeteria was like a piranha's den.

### Life on The Streets

When Madeline was fourteen, her mother was murdered by several "wolves with glowing blue eyes" (sent by Fenris, the great wolf). Her mother ordered her to stay away from his Uncle Randolph before her death, not knowing he had committed suicide a few years before, an order which Madeline dutifully obeyed. Since then, she had been living on the streets. Madeline became friends with two homeless people, but ultimately had to leave them, wanting to explore the world

During this time she would frequently lie to the police and truant officers about her name and has tried alcohol. Madeline would also steal money from people passing by, but only if they did things like park in a handicap parking space or were rude to others. He would also pick up barbering skills during this time. He became close friends with the owner of a store and his son, and told them her name was *Jasmine* to protect her identity.

### Coming to Camp

When she was fifteen, Madeline met another Norse demigod by the name of Hayden Sterling. They became good friends, and Hayden was shocked to hear that Madeline accepted them for being genderfluid. The two traveled together for the most part, taking pictures of their "adventures". One day, the two of them were given a message (sent by Hermóðr from Frey) for Madeline to get to camp at fast, and she was given a map. Hayden also went, not wanting to be left alone. The two fifteen year olds traveled by feet, occasionally hopping busses to avoid any monsters that wanted to attack them. After a few weeks of traveling from State to State, the two made it to California. Madeline, using her survival skills, lead herself and Hayden to camp. The two made it in once piece and met Zoe Potvin, who explained everything about the gods. Madeline also met up her cousin Damian, who was *overjoyed* to see her. Madeline was later claimed by Frey

## Personality

Maddie is witty, caring, clever, sneaky, and has a funny, sarcastic sense of humor. She is also really street savvy from living on the streets for two years. She feels she should protect those in danger, like when she protected an animal from getting abused by people on the street. However, she is somewhat cynical and shares Caspian’s tendency to make snide remarks both internally and vocally. She initially cannot stand the fact that was a demigod and being dragged into destiny as a daughter of Frey and being forced into a world she and being forced into a world her new life with her cousins to the point that she respectfully declines her father offer to go home. Despite living on the streets and being forced to eat out of dumpster bins to survive, Madeline is also rather health conscious, showing incredible disgust upon learning that goats can be milked to the point that she's unable to say it comfortably. Unlike most demigods, he lacks a natural combat instinct, but is instead much better at thinking and talking out her problems (such as her negotiations with Zoe to let her go out late), much like her cousin Damian. Nevertheless, like most demigods she is often forced into situations where she has to kill first and ask questions later, which she shows great flexibility in tactics and is a good reflexive thinker. Madeline is also very generous, like she gives her extra mortal currency and old clothes to a homeless kid. She’s a chatterbox and would talk endlessly. She’s not afraid to break rules even if she lands into trouble. She isn’t really good in school, more street smart than book smart. She's easygoing and open, and isn't shy around others. She's not afraid to strike up a conversation with anyone, or, like her mother, pull off a stunt. Due to this she has a rather impetuous and impulsive nature - she tends to act before using her head. She's not stupid, but often throws herself into situations hastily without really thinking about the consequences. She has unfailing patience and doesn't mind listening to anything, and she absolutely won't judge, but not without throwing in a word of her own say. She's much more like her mother than her father, but she still loves him.

### Fatal flaw

Madeline's fatal flaw is her loyalty. She does her very best to protect everyone she can, but this could lead to her own down fall

## Appearance

Madeline is a seventeen year old girl of Hispanic (Mexican) descent with brown hair parted in the middle, hanging to her shoulders in a curtain of tangled, dirty blond. She has gray eyes much like Damian which have a creepy, scary emptiness to them, a look that had served her well when she’d lived on the streets, Initially, Madeline is a petite girl and used to have a concave chest, sticking-out ribs, and very pale skin, to the point that her blue veins were visible. She also had a scar on her left palm, where she’d cut herself on a hunting knife as a child. She wears a dark green shirt, gray jacket, jeans, and black converse.
