## History

### Early Life

Naomi Portal was born on May 12, 1999 to Neptune, the Roman god of the seas, and Ezili Portal, a mortal who could see through the Mist. Five years later, in the year 2004, her younger brother Caspian was born on July 31. Ezili was a woman in her late twenties from the Dominican Republic. Ezili would visit the pier near her home in Manhattan. taking long walks on the golden sand, as the tides flowed through her feet. One day, she was sitting on the beach, clutching her knees and gazing at the ocean glittering under a stunning sunset. Suddenly behind her, someone sighed, "Beautiful isn't it?" Ezili smiled and answered, "It's beautiful more than words can say." The man sat down next to her and they quietly gazed at the ocean together. "So are you." he said to Ezili. When Ezili looked over to her side and he was gone. Ezili and the man would just sit on the sand, gazing at the ocean quietly. Ezili would share a few words about her day and the man would too, but very vaguely. She thought about the mysterious man and wondered if it was possible that someone else had the same love for the ocean as much as she did.

One day, Ezili asked him, "Who are you?" He hesitated and whispered, "I'm Neptune" Ezili considered this for a few moments. She once met someone that claimed to be Brad Pitt, but he looked nothing like him and it was obvious that he was lying. But this man seemed serious, like he was telling the truth, but assumed that no one would believe him. "I believe you." Ezili whispered back. "What?" he asked in disbelief. She repeated with more certainty, "I believe you." After a few months, the roman god and the mortal had a daughter, who they named Naomi Rosalina. While Neptune left shortly after, when five years had passed, Neptune came back in his Greek form, and the couple had their second child, a son, who they named Caspian James. Poseidon told Ezili about Camp Olympia and how their children would need to go there, Ezili promised to take them their children there...little did Ezili know, she wouldn't be the one to take them. As the two got older their mother would tell them that their father had been “lost at sea”. Caspian and Naomi were raised by their single mother up until they were two/three and seven/eight.

### Ezili's Death and The Life That Followed

Now when Naomi first held Caspian, she was protective of him, making a promise that she would always protect her brother. While Ezili had to work and even though the siblings had a number of babysitters, Naomi always help around when with Caspian. When Naomi was around seven or eight years old and Caspian was around two or three years old, Ezili had contracted a rare case of cancer, with little chance of surviving. As the doctors expected, Ezili had died just a few months later. Naomi grieved the death of her mother, but Caspian, since he was so young, didn’t understand what happened to their mom. According to Cassy, when he asked Namoi what happened to their mother, Naomi only responded “Mama’s gone Cassy...she’s not coming back”. The two were placed into foster care, and kept together (Thanks to Hestia and Poseidon), but their foster parents hardly cared for them. Naomi soon realized this and decided to take it upon herself to raise Caspian. Naomi never really talking about their mother, so when ever her brother would ask about Ezili, Naomi would only respond that she died of a sickness, nothing more, nothing less.

### Childhood and Moving Around

Naomi and her brother had a somewhat descent childhood. But strange things often happen around Cassy including a school bus exploding, and an aquarium being flooded, which often resulted in his getting into trouble: he was kicked out of a number of schools. This made a lot of people bully him, while his foster parents suspected something was wrong with him. Naomi on the other hand, did somewhat well in school. She got mostly B's and C's and some of the teachers like how she worked hard in class. Many of Naomi's class mates thought she was weird since she never really spoke out during break, but Naomi never minded it. Naomi found out she was skilled in art and often made drawings for her brother. Grown up, she became very protective and some what possesive of her younger brother, but Cas didn't mind this, since he always had someone looking after him

When Noami was fourteen and Caspian was nine, their foster mother had told them and their foster-father that they would be moving to a different apartment in California. While their foster father was a bit against the idea Cassy and Naomi were ecstatic to see new parts of American. Once they moved, Cassy and Naomi went to explore the town and met Leonardo and Miles Guzman and the pair of siblings became best friends. Once the two boys turned ten, they went to different schools. One day when Cassy came to visit Leo’s house for spring break, Leo’s mother had told him that Leo and his siblings had gone missing. Cassy was devastated and tried to do everything he could to try and find them. Even though Naomi only found out what happened latter in life. She remembers Caspian coming home from music class looking worried and anxious, and soon dropped taking music lessons. His foster parents just assumed he lost interest, but Naomi, the over protective (and somewhat possessive) big sister she was/is, continued to ask her brother that if something happened, he could tell her, but Cassy just told her to leave him alone. Naomi was sixteen when she came to camp after getting kidnapped by Hades

## Personality

Naomi is very much like both her parents. Like Lily, she is a very bright young woman, she is also very kind and has a bit of a rebellious strike, she is sometimes shy around new people but once she gets to know someone she is kind and joyful and like her dad, she tends to be dramatic at times and is a clever and talented demigod, but very mischievous. Naomi liked hanging out with Loretta, Cassandra, Zamaya, Helen, and Harper, those being her best friends and very loyal friends, much like most Poseidon children. Naomi is also supportive of Cas and Leo’s relationship but makes sure Leo won’t hurt her brother. Naomi also likes skating and taught Zamaya how to skate. Caspian often describes Naomi as “crazy overprotective” of him, but Cas knows that she would do anything and everything to help him go farther in life. Throughout the series, Naomi is shown to be very protective and somewhat possessive over her younger brother, often pulling him away from anyone trying to hurt them or raising their voice at them or when she wants to hold her brother. She often comforts her brother in times of distress, calling him her “little minnow” and holding him gently. Naomi is firmly brave and fearless in battle. She has a love for her family, friends and a passion for skating. Naomi is a kind, mature, and caring individual. Unfortunately, as a result of her busy job and the stress of taking care of and providing for her family she tends to be fairly temperamental and sarcastic with everyone. Daedalus at one point refers to her wrath scarier than Zoe's. While this is usually reasonable, considering how Caspian and Moana tend to disobey the rules and get into trouble, at times her temper gets the better of her and she jumps to conclusions, which causes her not to listen to the whole story. Nonetheless, she is protective of her family, particularly Caspian , and will attack anyone who harms them and defend them from any threat. She loves Caspian more than anyone or anything in the world and does all she can to keep him from harm. She is kind and hardworking, and she proves that while she is somewhat irritable, she can also be compassionate and understanding as she usually forgives Caspian and Moana for their antics. Just like her little brother, she loves and misses her mother very much and is usually depressed on the anniversary of the day she died. She is the breadwinner of her family and loves Caspian more than anything, but at times is ashamed she didn't make more of her life. From the number of surfing trophies she has in her room, it is possible that she could've had a successful career in surfing or even had gone to college had it not been for herself being a demigod. As a result, she decided to devote her time to taking care of Caspian which resulted in her having to put his future over her own, which includes giving up her chances of a huge surfing career for Caspian's sake, proving how devoted she is to Cassy, the one person she loves and cares for more than everything else in the world. Since Cassy is what Naomie values most, her worst fear, in fact, is Caspian being taken away from her or losing Caspian in any way possible as shown with. Overall, she has the most common sense and is the most normal of her family. She is very mature and wise for someone her age and the voice of reason, possibly as a result of losing her mother, having to grow up and be independent at such a young age, as she is shown to teach Caspian important life lessons, such as taking responsibility for her actions, not making fun of people based on their appearances, and having friends like you for who you are, not your appearances.

### Fatal flaw

Like most children of Neptune, Naomi's fatal flaw is excessive personal loyalty: she would risk the world and even her own life to save her friends and family. She sometimes saves strangers or enemies simply because she empathizes with them.

## Appearance

Naomi is often described as a beautiful 22 year old girl of Hispanic (Dominican) descent (like most of her family). She  is noted to look like her mother with the same wavy but beautiful auburn hair, light skin, sea-green eyes, and had light freckles all over her face. Naomi is often seen wearing a black coat, a navy blue blouse, jeans, and gray converse.
