Brief History: Laelia always knew about who her mother and grandmother were. Her father wanted her to make the choice if she wanted to go to Camp Jupiter or not. She learnt early how to keep her mouth shut, she was raised in the spotlight you see. Despite this she was still a happy child. Until the day Nina came into the picture, that is. Nina was her dad’s new girlfriend, and Laelia couldn’t stand her. In Laelia’s opinion the woman was nothing but a gold digger.
When she was 13 she finally had enough. She decided she wanted to leave for the Wolf House her dad had told her about, and so she did. Her father claimed that she was sent to boarding school so that the media wouldn’t wonder. On the anniversary of her arrival at the Wolf House she stepped inside the borders of Camp Jupiter. At this point she was 14 years old.
Physical Appearance: Laelia is 5’7” (170 cm) tall and has a slim build with gentle curves. Her skin is tan and blemish free, her long hair is a darkish brown and her eyes are chocolate brown with long lashes. She loves doing her hair and make-up and is rarely ever seen without the latter. She usually keeps the makeup simple and elegant, but occasionally she will try something a bit more daring.
Her camp tattoo is rather small, about the size of her palm. It is located on the side of her ribs on the left. It depicts a flying dove carrying a red rose in its beak. The letters SPQR are seen in cursive writing underneath the picture, underneath the letters are three bars. The letters and bars have a light blue color.
Personality: The one word most used to describe Laelia is shallow. Which is true, she is fixated on her looks. Almost every time she walks past a reflective surface she stops to check herself out and fix her make-up, hair or clothing. She is confident and she’s aware that she is good looking, she strives to perfect what she has.
Laelia loves popularity and attention, and wants both. She has managed to build up her popularity over the years, but she isn’t satisfied. And yes, she is aware that many of the people that have helped her attain that popularity aren’t truly her friends. Attention she can never get enough of, it doesn’t matter too much what people are saying as long as they’re saying it about her. Another thing she loves is gossiping. You can never hear enough rumors, according to her. She’s had her fair share of starting rumors as well, being the daughter of the goddess of rumors.
Laelia can be rather mean towards people in her gossiping and overall behavior. She is perceived as a bitch by most. But even though this might be the truth, it isn’t all of the truth. If Laelia truly cares for someone she’ll do her best to help them, and she might show her kind and caring side to them from time to time. She will not take any crap aimed towards her friends, if you hurt them you are automatically on her “enemies” list.
Fatal Flaw: Vanity, she takes excessive pride in her looks, abilities and achievements.
Pets: None
Godly Talents: Any rumor spread by her is extremely hard to disbelieve, no matter if it is really the truth or not. Furthermore she can make people feel lust towards each other or herself, in order to do this she must look at the person/s in question and concentrate. The harder she concentrates the harder it is for the person/s affected to disgorge the feeling.
Weapons: Daggers, she’s good at handling them for someone with only three years of practice. She prefers throwing them, but she gets by in close combat as well. She is also a fairly good shot with a bow.
Other: Heterosexual. Face claim is Caitlin Stasey.
