Personality: Sharp Tongued | Intuitive/Perceptive | Sarcastic | Loyal | Suspicious | Honest | Competitive| Prideful | Intimidating | Sassy | fearless | Stubborn | Superstitious

Despite being of a small stature, Dakota compensates completely with her intimidating aura - with an icy glare and temperament to match it can be hard to believe she is the daughter of Demeter. On first meeting her she can seem pretty quiet and distant, spending her time deep in thought or distracted by daily routine, and that the words she does speak are either incredibly intuitive and profound- or deeply insulting. Most of the time it being the latter.

However, once you look past her sharp tongue and sarcastic demeanour she can be an incredibly good friend. Albeit she is suspicious of new people and tends to search for all their faults before their virtues, once she has made her mind up on you (provided, of course, that you are deemed good company) , she is incredibly loyal and will stubbornly defend you even when you might be very wrong- a silent vow that you can be assured will be held to her final breath. Dakota's friends are her family and she holds a high respect for those who are in said circle. She tends to open up the longer you know her- like a flower late to bloom it can be a sudden realisation that inside the protective bud can be a bright and lively flower just waiting to burst forth, in context-  when around larger groups she tends to shut off and concentrate on her own thoughts, and when placed in a more intimate circle of friends she can be witty and fun loving.

When it comes to training Dakota is nothing less than dedicated, she spends hours disciplining herself and perfecting her skills, although one of her biggest faults is her less than desirable teamwork skills. Having an almost indomitable spirit she tends to stray the path set and go her own way, going off on her own and trying to take on the world single-handedly, this can be a virtue as well as one of her biggest vices as she will unselfishly and fearlessly put the needs of others before her own and try to burden herself with the problems or stress of others and stubbornly refuses to let others return the favour. This can leave her with a lot of unresolved emotional stress and every now and again she explodes in a fit of anger and if you don't plan on an early funeral- leaving as quickly as possible is advised.



 ❀{ -Demigod Profile-}❀


     Camp  

Beads Earned: N/A
Years spent at camp: 2
Year rounder / Part Timer: Year rounder (although she is welcomed home at any time, she chooses to stay at camp to train so that she can fully protect her family if she does so choose to come home)

Fatal Flaw: Suspicion- Dakota can find it hard, almost impossible- to let her life be put into the hands of another person. She rarely works well as a team member and tends not to fully trust those around her. She would rather die alone than put her trust in another person which is likely to happen considering she willingly chooses to take on the world alone.

    Powers and Weaponry

Weapon: 
Pistis- Faith / πίστις, εως, ἡ
    Pistis' is a Greek Dory (Spear) with two heads, both of celestial bronze- the shaft is made of wood with a leather strap in the                    middle for better grip It is used commonly for thrusting and melee fighting and is not suitable for throwing, although in desperate             situations, she utilises it for a javellin. The wood is solid and quite heavy which is her personal preference for her as she likes to 
    use it as a boost or a polevault.


Subtle Ability: Chlorokinesis
    The ability to manipulate wood, plants, fruits, and flowers, even moss found in natural field or habitat.
  • Due to the slow nature of plants growth Dakota cannot magically spring plants from the ground, although- if given enough time- Dakota can grow and build traps or constructs. However this process is incredibly time and energy consuming. It could take days to complete so it is not at all practical for close range combat, it could be put to use if teamed with a demigod of Hephaestus for example to set up traps for protection if they were on a quest.
  • She has the ability to grant fertility to spots in the ground, she doesn't tend to put this to use other than when required to help grow strawberry plants for the camps funding

 

  • Dakota's main problems arise when it comes to using her powers is due to her pent up anger and frustration, it tends to reflect on the plants she grows- as hard as Dakota tries pretty much anything she tries to grow single handedly seems to turn out either thorny or poisonous which leads to her frustration only being amplified. She can help already existing things grow and manipulate how they grow just fine but she tends to avoid growing things herself - especially in front of other demigods.
    

 ❀{ -Biography-}❀



Dakota was born in Arizona, specifically- the Fort Apache Indian Reservation, a place of natural beauty and history- also a place where more than half the population lives below the poverty line. Her family's heritage were of traditional Apache Indians. Although, of course, they didn't live a stereotypical 'cowboys and indian' lifestyle, her family still held some of the more spiritualist beliefs their ancestors before them had believed in. Her father had met Demeter in what he believed to be the manifestation of a supernatural being, and when Dakota was left on his doorstep he was adamant that it was a gift for his 'hospitality'. Her Grandmother was well aware of what 'hospitality' stood for in her sons terms but instead of anger she felt a fascinatingly different aura from Dakota.

Dakota was raised believing in supernatural spirits and to keep herself protected at all times, so seeing nymphs on a regular basis was understood to her as supernatural manifestations of the world around her and to be greatly respected and left to their own devices. Monsters on the other hand, plagued her nightmares and were constantly watching from a distance. In ventures of desperation her grandmother made dream catcher after dream catcher to protect her from nightmares and her family began to suffer the tolls of a screaming child every night that 'a bad spirit was knocking on her window'. It wasn't until she hit 13 when a 'family friend' offered his advice, this friend being a satyr. It was a difficult pill to swallow for her family, but ultimately for everyone's best interest's and safety- Dakota was taken to Camp Half Blood. In two years at Camp Half Blood, she spent most of her time training vigorously rather than making friends in the interests of protecting her family if she ever decided to return home, she hasn't as of yet.

Likes | Dislikes
✓ Hiking, Quiet areas where the only sound is natures ambience, cool water after a long day of training, swimming, going barefoot in the grass, gardening, hugs (although at first they make her really uncomfortable, they're kinda nice after a while), Listening to birds, dream catchers, feathers, beads, comfortable silence, nymphs, singing quietly to herself, watching the sun rise early in the morning.

✗ Loud unnecessary chatter, the cold, large groups of loud people, people in general, fighting (although she constantly trains, its more out of practicality than enjoyment
  
  

 ❀{ -Random-}❀



- She keeps a dream catcher on her person at all times in addition to her camp beads for sentiment sake, also because she's actually a huge baby and is too afraid to take them off incase something happens.

- she can imitate birds flawlessly and likes to practice when she's alone

- Her hair is bleached, her natural hair tone is a dark brown/ black colour as you can see her roots are showing sob

- the large feather on the dream catcher on her neck is that of an eagle bc she a badass up in here
