The gods won't make the same mistake twice
There's one hero Percy Jackson is similar to, someone the gods broke, and they regretted it
Someone kind, that they made ruthless
Someone loving, that they made brutal:
Odysseus
#sorry I'm half asleep#does this make sense#i barely know pj tbh#but I've been listening to the EPIC soundtrack#and like#they've both been changed by their experiences with gods#made less naïve#but still remained true to themselves and their loyalty to love#even when they couldn't fully remember#like their goals to return never changed#and idk#it feels like ironic symbolism that the fates would enjoy#that the reincarnated version of someone who Poseidon killed the men of#is his favorite son#that the only man Athena saw as somewhat of a friend and equal in intellect#is the son of her enemy#that the man Zeus forced to kill a child#is the same one that brings back his lightning bolt and scolds him?? (idk if this happens) about being a good father#like Odysseus would've#but he was born in a more god fearing time#oh yeah percy also saves Zeus's kids#pjo series#pjo hoo toa#idk i didn't read the books sorry#epic the musical

〔 ALISHA BOE, 21, CISFEMALE, 〕╰ HARPER MADELY just came over half - blood hill . you know , the child of ATHENA who was claimed eight months ago ? i've heard chiron say that pronoun is AMBITIOUS & RIGHTEOUS , but if you ask the aphrodite kids , they'd say they're IMPULSIVE & MESSY . i'd say they remind me of SPEAKERS BLARING, TAN SANDALS FOR EVERY OCCASION, A SILHOUETTE OF A FIGURE HUNCHED OVER A DESK especially since they're FOR THE NEW CABINS .
basics .
name : harper louisa madely. nicknames : harp, h, madely. birth date : 13th october. gender : cisfemale. pronouns : she/her. ethnicity : somali & norwegian. nationality : american. hometown : portland , maine. demigod abilities : genius intellect, crafting skills & enhanced physical prowess. cabin number & godly parent : cabin six & athena. how did their godly parent meet their mortal parent? : she was the definition of an accident child. her father had never really seen himself as a parent, but he had seen himself as somewhat a man who had something to give to the world. intellectually, spiritually, and he thought he’d met someone who was of similar intelligence. they had a whirlwind romance right until the moment she informed him she was pregnant. he tried to be responsible, tried to take care of the kid while athena was pregnant and then when harper was born, but ultimately, he crumbled under the pressure. she went back to olympus and harper was sent to live with her paternal aunt.
muse appearance .
faceclaim : alisha boe . height : 5′5. hair colour : brunette . eye colour : brown . dominant hand : left handed. distinguishing features : four piercings to each ear, a bar on her ( right ) nipple, a stretching smile and hair that always looks effortless when it’s only half true. she also has a scar on her knee from when she feel as a child and needed stitches. it’s vertical and runs down half the length of her knee cap. dress style : never seen without tan sandals for literally every occasion, brightly colours no matter the season. vests with thick straps but low cuts, denim shorts that fall up to half her thigh. talking heads pendant necklace that says always for love. she’s literally never seen without it.
camp - related .
go - to weapon : bow and arrow. ambrosia : her aunt’s apple pie. favourite camp location : the amphitheatre. their opinion of their godly parent : she thinks her mom is a grade a bad ass. they haven’t exactly spoken very much, but she’s read up on the history and the lore and she loves pretty much everything she stands for. it’s exciting to have a mother that’s willing to claim her, let alone a godly one. it’s not that she doesn’t love her aunt, or that she didn’t do a sensational job of raising her, because she does and she did. it’s simply the fact that she was somewhat a mess when her mother claimed her, and it highlighted that clearly she had much more of a plan than she thought. age they were claimed : twenty one, as it was eight months ago. how they were claimed : it was at a particularly low point in her life ; she’d just failed her pre - med exams on account of the fact she couldn’t read it. she was trying to re - route her life and herself after realising that her life long plan wasn’t going to pan out. it was at this point that she was claimed, and given an explanation as to why she had failed. it wasn’t inadequacy or even inability, it spoke to a nature of something greater. she looks back on it as an overwhelmingly positive moment, even if she didn’t understand the true ramifications until after she came to camp half blood. stance on the new cabins : for the new cabins. reason for their stance : she doesn’t see a reason to deny anyone a cabin when they’ve all come here looking for the same thing ; a purpose and a home. they’ve likely all be ostracised for one reason or another, be it what they could do or what they couldn’t, and she doesn’t believe in extending that to camp. ( really, it comes out of her personal bias. the camp more or less saved her. ) their opinion on lyssa pentelute : she understands that hell hath no fury that a woman scorned, believe her. and she gets why lyssa’s anger has motivated her. she wonders, had her mother not claimed her when she did, if she could have gone down a similar angry path. regardless, she didn’t. she found her peace and her purpose and she’s pretty sure lyssa could too if she stopped being so angry all the time. quests : not yet, but it’s definitely something she’d be interested in.
personality .
positive traits : ambitious, righteous, approachable, entertaining. negative traits : impulsive, messy, short - fused, explosive. mbti : enfp - t. campaigner. alignment : neutral good. hogwarts house : gryffindor. kinsey scale : kinsey 3, equally heterosexual & homosexual. archetype : self & persona archetypes: the joker. what candle scent are they : mango mai tai. goals & desires : a short term goal is definitely to go out into the wider world that she used to call her own and find her way around quests. her long term goals are uncertain at present, but that doesn’t freak her out as it used to. she just wants to learn more and more about her abilities and make a few friends along the way. fears : turning into a version of herself she doesn’t recognise, ending up alone and deserting like her father. hobbies : photography, she considered it briefly as a stand in career before her mother claimed her. she’s also interested in art in general and wants to get a tattoo one day. she’d have five already if she didn’t check that impulse. swimming and long distance running are also things she enjoyed during high school. habits : fiddles with the point of her necklace, runs it over and between her index and middle fingers. crosses her legs at the ankle when she sits.
bio .
harper louisa madely was born to an unequipped father and a godly mother. her father decided he couldn’t cope shortly after she was born. she was sent to live with her paternal aunt and her aunt’s then boyfriend ( would later be husband ) a few blocks over in maine. her father gave nothing more than the address to a camp he’d been given by athena and to this day, harper has heard nothing but stories about him. they moved around enough when she was a child, between states and cities, and she had a somewhat disruptive childhood but still a good one. she knew early on in her life that she wanted to make a difference and decided to plan her life according to that maxim. it didn’t pan out. she wanted to become a doctor, but somehow could never read the texts she was assigned. she put it down to dyslexia that she was aided with as her educational career continued, but in the aftermath of her pre - med exam, it became clear it was much more than that. she hurtled down a quiet recklessness after that, even after her aunt and her husband expressed concern. having the carpet ripped out from under her effected her and they knew it. ( she wonders, now, if it’s because they saw echoes of her father in the way she carried herself. ) it wasn’t long after that when she was claimed and finally given an explanation and an address to go to make something of herself. she still writes to her aunt regularly, updates her on how she is, but the longer she’s at camp, the more she changes. she’s more content and driven than she’s ever felt. and she’s replaced her concerns about uselessness with all the things she’s divinely good at.
