Demi can aslo be quite a mysterious and aluring girl because she isn't one to go out partying every night but when she does go out she likes to turn a few heads which her elegent dress style and swaying hips. She can be a bit of a tease to people at times but she never tends to go too far as she knows for a fact that people don't like it if you just keep reeling it out as she is one of those people herself. Though she can be quite a little social butterfly when she wants to be Demi doesn't mind spending some time on her own as that she believes that a little isolation can be good for a person as it gives her time to reflect and relax.
HISTORY
Born:27th June
Homeland:Washington
History:After a long six months in the underworld Prosepina came back to the mortal world bringing springtime with her. But she was angry at Pluto for something he had done and so wanted to get her own back on him in some way. So she decided since he had some demigod children himself she was going to have some too. She met man named Colin and by the end of June she was placing a baby girl on his doorstep which she had called Demetria. Colin upon finding the baby there was a little panicked and so since he wasn't in any financial position to support himself and a child so he gave her up to the local orphange. When they asked him if she had a middle name he told them Jane since that was the name that Proserpina had signed her not to him with.
Demetria spent the first three years of her life in the orphange before she was adopted by a well off couple from Washington. They had been trying for another child but where having no look as they had really wanted to have a boy and a girl. Three years earlier they had a boy named Russel and had decided not to go for a young baby when adopting as not to have to go though all the sleepless nights again. So Demi was taken in by the family and brought up as one of there own as if she and Russel where twins just with different birthdays. So with being more or less the same age she was very close to Russel growing up. They would play together and do alsorts of things with each other.
Though with the family being well off they was never without anything that they wanted. Toys, games, clothes they could get it all with just a simple bat of the eyelids or pouting of the lips. They was sent to a private school where they was taught a high standard of education and made friends with other well off kids. Though as they got older and approched their teen years more and more questions where asked about how they could be related with their birthdays so close together within a years span of one another. At first Demi tired to push it aside and ignored it figuring that there must be some sort of explanation that would make everything alright. Though one day when she was thirteen she asked her parents how is was possible for them to be bron so close together.
It was then that they exchanged a glance with each other before telling her that they adopted her. Demi was so distrought and shocked by this that she ran to her room and locked everyone out. At first she didn't know what to do and just cried. But after a couple of hours she decided to run away so quickly packed a bag shoving some clothes and personal belongings along with all the money she had which was quite a bit for a teenage girl of her age. She ran out of the house at night and wondered the streets. She spent weeks wondering the streets since she found it hard finding a place that would rent out a room to a minor. Though one day something strange happened that quite possibly changed her life.
She was trudging though an alley her clothes worn and her bag slung on her back when something slammed into her from behind. She was attacked by a cyclopes which was shock enough for her as she had no idea they exsisted. She managed to throw a trash can lid but it just pinged of his head leaving him a little dazzed. But before he could harm her anymore a pack of wolves surrounded her and faught him off and he turned into a pile of gold dust. What surpised her even more that the wolves could talk and she understood them. So since they had just saved her life she decided to go with them since it was better than roaming the streets of washington. She followed them to this place called the wolf house which took them a day or two to get to going on foot. She stay there for a while she was trained but the head of the pack calle Lupa.
Then when they believe she was ready they told her of Camp Jupiter and told her if she could make it there alive she would be able to be safe and find out who she truely was. After a trip battle monsters and all sort of nassty beings she made it to camp Jupiter and was taken in. When it came to placing her in a cohort she was rather out of luck having no comendation or anything so it seemed like nobody would soeak for her until a young man in the fifth cohort spoke up and so she became on of their rank. She began to learn things about herself and why she could do or not do certain things. Though the question she wanted answered the most wouldn't get answered until the next spring since she had arrived while her mother was in the underworld she was unable to claim her straight away.
So when spring came around Demi was still at camp having nowhere else to go since she ran away from her only home before camp. On the first day of spring was when she was claimed and it explain a few things about her including and hair and personality that change with the seasons. Now she has been living at Camp Jupiter for three years and has taken part in the battle on mount othrys and also the battle of camp jumpiter that has just passed. She is still rather curious of these greek arrival on camp and isn't quite sure what to think of them yet. But since they havn't done anything to harm them yet or pose a threat she doesn't wish any ill will on them.

RP Sample:
Athena sat in the kingdom of the gods at the right hand of her father as they looked over some possible strategies they could take should a war be upon them. Zeus as always when plowing in with his suggestions half of which Athena could tell straight away would not work should a full blown attack be launch on Olympus. Though she knew her father would be asking her for her opinion before he mad any official battle plans so she decided to here is theory out to see if their was any sense that might give some of his nonviable idea's some sense to them.
She listen to him intently and watched him move the battle figures around on the board. At first off his idea seemed quite reasonable and doable having scouts posted at the entrance to Olympus to be able to worn the rest of the gods the enemy was close so they could get into position. But of course her father wanted to straight on charge the enemy and wipe them out with one single blow. Something that Athena knew would most likely not work and trier their forces out to quickly leaving them too weak to fight of the enemy left standing.
When he finished he turned to her and she stood from her seat to get her statement across more clearly. "Having the scouts posts at the entrance is a very good idea as it will give us enough time to ready ourselves and get in position. Though we can not just go out and charge the enemy father as well shall use up are resources far too quickly." Athena said and a few of the others gathered nodded at her in approval as they too agreed that it would boded well for them to attack them straight and and that at first a more subtle approach was needed as if in attempt to ward them off.
Her father then looked at her before sighing knowing she was right and asked her what she thought was the best plan of action to defend Olympus should and attack come upon them. "We should let Apollo and Artemis use their archery skills to shoot down as many of the enemy as they can from a far as then their will be less enemies to deal with up front. Then we use striking attacks on those who get closer to attempt to take down a few more of their number before we have to take them full on in combat. It is then that we can launch are charge as they will have already tired some what from are ranged attacks."
Athena said this all quite proudly and others nodded in approval. Then her father stood again and ran though a possible battle plan with Athena making a few more suggestions on positioning before they was satisfied with the battle plan that could possibly one day in the future save the home of the gods.
