one lucky gal

camper’s name:

“ grace mills. though, my dad calls me gracie.  normally don’t go by any nicknames. ”

camper’s age:

“ recently turned eighteen!  able to gamble in the casinos here in the great state of new york, but not vegas.  yet. ”

camper’s birthdate:

“ born may tenth, which would make me...  a taurus?  do zodiacs mean anything, though? ”

camper’s birthplace:

“ goodsprings, nevada! tiny little town, with not enough trouble to be made for my tastes. though the regulars at the bar would let me join in on bets and things...  eventually, we moved to jersey, though. ”

godly parent:

“ tyche, the ever fortunate lady luck.  chance, prosperity, and just a dash of fate.  dad met her in vegas, on his yearly trip, and had the luckiest streak of his life. and...  got lucky too, i guess.  ew. ”

any mortal family?:

“ really, just my father. there’s a few people on his side of the family out in nevada that i’m not close to, and who i do NOT trust...  mostly because they don’t trust me. ”

how would you describe your relationship with your godly parent?:

“ almost...  non-existent?  i, uh.  i met her, once.  i think.  not quite sure, but sometime around christmas after my first summer. ”

when and how were you claimed?:

“ i, uh...  it’s a bit embarrassing, but a few days before my 13th birthday, i ran away from home.  my dad had a credit card for emergencies, and i stole it and snuck into a casino.  i got lucky avoiding the security guards, and just...  gambled the night away.  i just wanted to see if i could, honestly.  dad found me the next day through his charges, and it was the first time i actually got in trouble with him.  before he could start yelling...  i got claimed.  i dunno if she was proud, or if it was just the significant, defining event, but...  there it was. ”

when and how did you first arrive at camp half-blood?:

“ i kinda got worse from there.  dad explained how tyche appeared on his doorstep with me, and that she told him that i would be gifted, and gave him the address to the camp.  i... reasonably, went through a more intense rebellious phase.  i’d just learned i was extremely lucky, and i definitely used it to my advantage for the next two years.  finally, my dad couldn’t handle it, and sent me to the camp for the summer right after i turned 16.  it... it helped, really. ”

have you been on any quests? if so, give us a short summary:

“ i’ve been on one.  last year, actually.  it was short and unimportant, and i’m pretty sure i was only chosen for my luckiness...  anyway, we were trying to find a monster that had fucked up one of the new campers, and kill it.  i...  we all made it out fine, but that was pure luck.  i made a mistake.  doesn’t matter.  haven’t taken a quest since. ”

what role did you play ( if any ) in the second titanomachy?

“ my role?  i...  it happened before i came to camp.  i, um.  i mean, part of it happened near me, and i remember finding a young, injured teenager once on my way home, and i...  tried to help.  but i couldn’t.  it was too late.  i didn’t know how to fight then, either, and...  i don’t like thinking about it. ”

what role did you play ( if any ) in the second gigantomachy?

“ none. ”

what is your favorite camp bead?:

“ there’s this little gold one with a horn painted on it.  it’s pretty. ”

do you have any notable physical attributes? ( scars, tattoos, piercings, etc. ):

“ i got a lil tattoo of cherries right behind my ear, a tiny gold heart on my collarbone, and a white rose on my hip. ”

what is your preferred weapon?:

“ i have a dagger with intricate gold detailing on the handle, and it always seems to be shiny and clean. ”

if you were a vine, which vine would you be?
