History:
Her confusion on which gender her godly parent would be came about when she was left at her maternal grandfather's house shortly after her birth - with only a note of her name and that she was the granddaughter of Mr. Pontell. Confused as he had not spoken to his children in over ten years he took the child in anyway and despite many failed attempts at contact with both his daughter and his son he could not detirmine which one was the parent and why they would have him take care of the child themselves. In the end, he was granted custody and spent the few years he had with her trying to pick out what child of his what she was most like. She had red hair like his daughter but her entire disposition was completely her own - troublesome and carefree. Even from her early days she was a different child, due to her powers being more subtle her abilities became difficult to explain as she grew.
At twelve years old, the wolves came to get her. Of course, she was frightened but with all the strange things that happened she wasn't surprised. Her grandfather on the other hand was a sight racing down the lawn in his tidy whities with a shotgun not knowing that the bullets would be useless against them. After a short explanation from the wolf known as Lupa she agreed to be tested and prepared. She spent three months with the wolves.
Originally when she first appeared at the camp she was thought to be a daughter of Mars due to her uncanny ability to cause mayhem and disagreements wherever she went but it soon became apparent to the rest of the campers that it was not simply that she was prone to appear at times of violence but times of unease, accidents and everything that went along with other people's misfortunes. At thirteen years of age, her godly parent was yet to claim her so they put her down as a particlarly unfortunate Ares child with as much battle hardiness as a drunken baboon. She had few friends, not because she was unpopular or particularly unfriendly but because they didn't manage to keep up with the constant string of unfortunate incidents that followed her.
By her fifteenth birthday she had all but given up the hope that Mars would appear and give her a reason to why awful things happned to her but he never came. Instead, she was visited by a pretty middle-aged woman in a business suit. She was a sharp-looking woman with wavy brunette hair and eyes so green that they rivalled those Melrose treasured - her suspicions were justified as the lady introduced herself as Discordia, Roman Goddess of Discord and Strife. Inititially angry at her mother's lack of everything, she verbally lashed out at the Goddess who simply batted away her furious attempts at infuriating her, explaining that her gifts were not neccisarily a bad thing for her. If Melrose learned to take advantage of her situation (Note at this point, nothing really bad happened to her - just everyone else) she could become powerful and respected - all at the small price of her social life which wasn't really relivent to living anyway.
Before her mother left to return to Olympus she advised the young girl that she should heed her advice. She had the choice whether to lead a life of misery, avoiding people so that no misfortune would befall them so that they would lead uneventful lives or she should embrace her gifts, refuse to hide and reap the possibilities that would fall at her feet in the confusion. Of course, she chose the latter and as a result she quickly got what she desired turning almost overnght to a snarky, sarcastic and merciless mirror image of her mother was known to be. It is with this attitude that she continued her education, eventually going on to study battle strategy and war tactics which she seemed to succeed at with practice alongside many Mars and Minerva children who were doubtlessly thrilled to spend another few years with her.
